RULES FOR THE SICK RooM.-l. Bring
in fresh flowers or something new every
day; even the commonest green thing is
better than nothing. 2. Don't talk
about anything unpleasant. Talk about
something that will lead the patients
thoughts from his aches and pains, and
leave him in cheerful and restful state
of mind. 8. Follow the doctors direc-
stions implicitly. 4. Never ask a sick
person what he wants to eat. If he asks
for anything that will not injure him,
get it if you can. Never bring him
much at time, A little bit in dain-
ty dish will sometimes tempt the appe-
tite when large quantity would cause
nausea. 5. Expect sick persons to be
unreasonable. They will fret and CON-
plain, no matter what happens, and
must be borne with patiently.

A POWERFUL FoE.-Domesticated
horses have no real knowledge of their
own strength and power, fortunately
for man. With wild horses it is differ
ent. In the steppes of Russia it is not
rare to see two year-old colt rush sing
ly to attack a band of four or FIVE
wolves, kill one or two of them, lame
the rest, and spread the terror of his
name throughout the country. The
wild horse strikes with his fore feet.
like the stag. and not with his hind legs,
as is popularity believed. He draws him.
self up to his full height against his en-
emy. and pounds him beneath his mur-
derous pestles; then seizes him between
the shoulders with his formidable in
cisors, and tosses him to his mares. to
make sport for themselves and their
offspring.

The train from the south was on

and General Cabei, with few other
citizens, and the two military COM
panies and Lawrence's band, repaired
to the depot to tender the executive
of the state formal welcome to DIAL.

bard warm and hearty greeting from
the citizens. The brave soldier boys
dallied rather long in the arms of the
drowsy god, and had to double-quick
for three or four hundred yards TO
make the depot in time, which they
did in good style. Just as the train ran
up to the platform the military were
drawn up and Governor Hubbard and
his suit, Major Dorm, General Bee and
others, were received with arms pre-
Hsented, band playing, AID the large
crowd bowling respectfully.
General Cabell uttered few brief,
but well chosen words of welcome, to
which Governor Fl. responded with
equsi brevity and in his usual felicit-
Gus style. The eortege then formed
aud the governors party in carriages,
the military with Prof. Lawrence's
magnificent band In front, marched
down Elm to Lamar, down Lamar to
Main, and down Main to their quar-
tiers at the I.eGrapd. A number of
gentlemen breakfasted v it'll his excel.

We were glad to hear his hearty

which every citizen of Dallas is justly
very proud.

Fatr-AwaFds and Display - Notes.
The day yesterday was bright and
genial, and although the roads were
muddy the attendance at the fair was
by far the best ofany day during the
week, the number of visitors being
variously estimated from tao thou.

ten hours Of exsspersting rain We'd

the track to heavy for use, and that
part of the programme had to be post
poned until to-day, the gala day of
the fair.
The hall was thropged from noon
till night. Exhibitors in the main
building now have their display com
plete and the array is fine one. In
the rotunda additions have been made
in specimens Of painting. drawing,
etc. and the exhibition attracts much
attention.
The machinery department is In
trim, and the exhibition il. conceded by
visitors from abroad, and newspaper
men, to be the largest and most com
plete ever made in Texas. No lees
than fourteen steam engines were at
work during the afternoon running
farm machinery, q gin, feeder and con-
denser, complete cotton cleaner, a
steam power cotton press, two Touring
mills, harvester, binder and mower,
grain fan and threshing-machine being
Of the number actually at work. The
display In plows, carts and wagons is
equal TO that at the late fair in st.

The magnificent display Of the Sim

ton around which the ladies never
cease to congregate. Their exhibition
of sewing machines and work done On
the Singer far surpssses anything ever
made by this OF any other company 10

derful machine Is fully demonstrated.
Side by side with sample OF sole

calculations of wonder and surprise
are frequent, especially when if IL
shown that this can be done without
changing the needle, thread, feed or
the spring OF the presser-foot. Its
not surprising that these machines for
thirty years have held the leading
position Of the standard machines OF
the world. and that to-day there are
more of them sold than the sales oil

The fair which commenced OH Mon.
day ia this city, rs not without its les.
sons to the thoughtful When we no.
aect that five years ago Dallas was bu,
mere frontier village, aud the country
surrounding il bat the thinly peopled
outlaying settlement of our new state
and then contrast the Dallas and couu-
ivy of to-day, as mirrofed by the fair
row IN progress. and we get something
OF an idea Of the wonderful advance
made by both. The displays made BY
cur merchants. mechanics and farmers
would be- ereditable one in any city
in any OF the older states Of the union.
The machinery from abroad on ex-
hibition shows most plainly that the
brain and muscle of other ststes value
the business Of our lusty young city
and its trade territory No article
OF real worth available 10 our
farmers but what is here on
the ground 10 urge its own claims in
person. Each merchant. business man
mechanic and artist OF our city is also
represented by the choicest Of his wares
and the best products of both muscle
and brain.
These are hopeful circumstances. and
mark new era in the history of the
times. The crude modes of the old
frontier days are passing out Of use, are
giving place to the improved, and better
adapted machines and modes Of the
most advanced civilization. Now and
then we meet the gray>hnired veteran
OF the frontier, valued and respected AS
the aran-teo'TeyT of that civilization rep,
resented by our fair. Now and then we
see the old road wagon and rope harness
OF those early days, but they are passing
away, making room Tor the better and
later. Now and then We see
the broad brimmed son5rero and
Ianghng spurs Of the old roysterer
Of the border days. but he too. is fast
beeoming rdra aris, and will soon
pass away forever. To the stranger
who visits cur fair, with the idea that
he has jumped far beyond the confines
OF civilization, these things viii prove
pleasant surprises, but to the old citi>
zen and he who has planted his roof
tree here, and who has erected his
affairs OF devotion, they will long re-
main as pleasant assurances OF a pesce>
fol and prosperous future.
Proud, indeed, are we to see that Der.
feet interchange of courtesy and com,
Parison Of results from which so much
good will surely come. The friendly
rivalry Of exhibitors ia calculated
to bring out the latent good
qualities OF both head and product.
and will prove valuable lessons for
future crops and seasons. There is
one regretable circumstance, only,
connected with our fair, and that is the
meagreness of the agricultural display.
In country so rich in ali the essen-
iiais OF agricultural wealth, and where
the actual result even this present sea-
son has been so wonderful. the whole
area OF our fair ground should have
been crowded with specimens Of grain
cotton, vegetables. stock and. indeed
everything grown and produced in this
country
Let this be a guide for another year
Let il not DO said then. as now. that the
merchants, mechanics and artists take
more interest in agricultural fairs than
do the farmers themselves.

one that Is OF interest to local and Wis

with the old manner OF shooting. In

consequence is that the exhibit is gain

whom we have talked speak in glow

cause to be proud OF the display. The
