The Waco Telephone Of the 18th con-
tains true and very sensible article
respecting our new constitution. Gener~
ally speaking, it was composed of the
most gorgeous lot of asses that ever
attempted or aspired to frame laws
for state. Among other things the
salary of district judges was cut
down from moderate figure to a
mere pittance, which for reasonsonable
remuneration barred every competent
man from aspiring to the position.

Wigs and Washing In Louis &ES'S
Thine.
In Louis XIV's days great folks took
to washing, Bathing had been on the
decliue since Roman times, aud the
public baths, kept by the harbiers- bar
hants-a different guild from the sur
geon barbers--had got to be places OF
such license for both sexes, that in the
middle of the sixteenth century they
were closed, and great ladies went
from weeks end to weeks end with
out even washing their hands, using
scent instead, like Henry Ill wearing
face plasters. So much unhealthiness
was the result that Louis XIV told the
BARRIERS to reopen their baths. Then
the hairdressers set up next door to
them, and people who had been
in the habit Of getting their hair dress
ed at home went TO the shop. Now, too,
wigs came in, the king leading the
fashion with that moustrOus affair in
which he il always represented. Jean
BaptiSte Theirs wrote book to prove
that false hair was contrary to the will
of God, but was no more listened Go
than were Pierre Juvernay and jacques
Boileau-brotheIs of the poet-when
they acclaimed against low dresses.
Dresses were worn lower and lower till
Madame de Maintenon took to cover
ing her bosom with q lace fichu. Louis
made Il good thing out of wigs. There
was n wig tax; and, moreover, he
started n new eilice, that of controleurs
de perruques. "Whenever the king
makes an Office said Minister Des.
marets, God provides some fool or
other to buy It."

One of Airica's noble sons playing

his race pertaining to such matters are
too well known.

IS speaking of the military drill at
the fair, the State Gazette has the follows
ing to say respecting our two compa.
MES.
In the skirmish drill there was no
trouble in deciding in favor OF the Las
mars, who cannot be excelled in this
drill, their only competitors being the
Greys of Dallas. The bayonet exercise
was the last drill gone through with,
and the evident superiority of the
Stonewall GreYs left no doubt as to
whom the prize should be given, and it
was given TO them.

verb meaning 'to forotcll,' whence
the usc of the hazel as divining rod
Dog wood is dagger wood, from dag,
TO strike, being used for bludgeons.
Acacia is the Greek word for

Odor; whortleberry is corruption of
myrtle berry; licorice is All Angli-,
cism for glycyrrhiza sweet root, and
the service tree is the Latin cerevisi-
nm, meaning boer, since it's leaves
were used to flavor ale before the
virtues Of the hop were known. Pansy

"stick to Dad"

II am tired OF farming and want to
come to town to make living tor
myself. What do you think of il2"
Well, we think you are q fool if
you don't stay at home, The city is
over run with "dead beats" and
tramps, and if you have a dead sure
thing Of making ''bread and meat"
on the farm, you'd better stay where
you arc, and dig potatoes, than come
here and goto tho work house and
peck rock. Stick to dad. Stay on
tho farm. You are worth more to
yourself, to your neighbore, to your
State and to the country at large than
all the one-horse, mutton-headed
professional gontlcmen that arc living
from hand to mouth in the city or
State. You stick to the Plow, the
mower, the reaper; freeze to that
farm like fly blister to negro's lip;
raise rye, corn, hay, barley, oats,
potatoes; chop wood, maui rails,
burn brush, curry your mules, feed
oxen, raise stock, and instead OF
hanging around the street corners =,
dependent upon lunch houses to keep
sand out of your craw, you'll be at
homo on your farm, living life Of
''independent happiness" while
thousands Of "nico young men," too
pretty and proud TO work, and too
lazy to steal, will be lighting out
cover the Hill to tho poor house"
merciioss beasts and lazy subjects OF
utter dependence upon public char~
