this was the cause of little incident at

Schultz had come on the stage with his
violin just before the dance, and seeing
as be supposed in the dim light, Long
waiting for his cue, went up behind him
and slapped him on the back, remarkipg
on the fit of his tights, and taking other
familiarities. Suddenly the supposed
Long turned. Schultz saw the indignant
eyes of Adelaide Nelson, and heard a
long kissing "Sir!" that seemed to freeze
the marrow in his bones. He muttered
confused apology in broken English.

The Great Pictures In New York
A Letter for Artists and for the
women.
Correspondence Of the Statesman

NEW YORK, May %, 1877.
mark this day with a sunbeam.
BY special favor, we spent three hours
in the private art gallery of Mrs. A. T.
Stewart. The friend who accompanied
US told me it was favor rarely grant
ed now-that not twenty people had
been admitted there since Mr.. Stew
arts death. 1t seemed SO sad that
such glorious creations should be hid
den from the many appreciative ar
lists eyes to whom they would give
exquisite pleasure. And now that I
have looked and gszed again and yet
again, what can l say, and where be-
ginY Perhaps it were best to rate the
treasures as to their cost; and so be-
gin with the largest picture ever paint
ed by Meissonier, of which Mr.. Stew
art became ''the fortunate possessor,"
at cost of $S7, 900. But woe is me!
l must confess my artistic depravlty-
I cannot admire Meissonier; nor yet
any of the French and Spanish school,
whose pictures, though painfully la
borious in every minute detail, still
look as il painted in glazing water col
ors, and then lett out in the rain.
This one, whose praises had been sung
to me ever since / came here, as
the most famous picture in the
city represents Napoleon reviewing his
troops, aud is called "iS07.n THE
Little Corporal" stands on the sum-
init of grassy knoll, raising his hat
and bending his grand head slightly as
the squadrons gallop past him. A
wonderful patience is evidenced in the
delicate and perfect portrayal of every
star and stripe, button and bride or
nament. A wonderful knowledge Of
anatomy, too, Is shown in the bend of
every joint, the strain of every sinew,
as the heavily built horses gsllop over
the field. But alasl they reminded
me lrresistibly Of the ''anstomical cav
airy of the Mackerel Brigsde;" and
laughed where ! should have wor-l
shipped, and the cauldron of my en-
thusiasm refused even the fAintest
bubble.
There are two other Meissoniers in
the gallery, both very small, and, TO
my benighted vision, very ugly-rep-
resenting nothing in particular, and
noticeable simply as studies Of old
clothes. Iwish had the one hundred
and twenty-ssvea thousand that Mr..
Stewart paid for them, and could buy

The St. Louis Republican tells how
Mrs. Betsy Hadley went to Texas with
little money some time ago to see
about buying some land. While there
she made the acquaintance of one Geo.
A. Baker, a very respectfully appearing
man of fifty-seven. Mrs. Hsdley was
sixty, and in a short time it became ap-
parent to the Texas public that we'd
ding was in prospect. The couple
were evidently enamored of each other,
and when Baker proposed he was &C.
cepted in due form. The ceremony of
marriage was solemnized in Kansas
City on Thursday last, and the couple
forthwith started for Pittsburgh, where
Baker claimed to have friends and
funds. Yesterday morning saw them
safe on board the steamer John B.
Maude with tickets paid for and safe
ly slowed in Bakers pockets The old
lady sat in the cabin and Baker went
ashore to look around little. AS he
stayed quite time the old lady hap
pened to remember that he had $500
of her money with HIM. She became
alarmed and reused the police to look
her husband up. They are still look
ing for him. Five o'clock came and
the boat departed, but without the
two passengers from Kansas City. AS
Baker failed to show up, the old lady
concluded that she would go back to
her starting point. The clerk of the
John B. Msude gave her back the price
of the tickets, which was more than
enough to pay her fare back to Kan
sas City. She refused to believe that
Baker lost his way about town, but
took the train west last night.

CheorfoIness tho Offspring

CheerfnIness the Offspring OF
Health.
That equable state of the mind which
is unruffied by trifing incidents, and
looks on the sunny side of things in
general, is the result of healthful
state OF the brain and stomach. The
dyspeptic and nervous invalid may
although this IL rare indeed-feign
cheerfulness, and may bear the haras-
sing symptoms which persecute him
with an assumption Of heroic indiffer-
ence, but in reality he is the victim of
dependency. To experience genuine
cheerfulnesS OF mind, the stomach must
recover its lost tone, the thinking or
gan its normal quietude. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are the best remedy
for mental depression, since they over
come the nervous debility and indiges-
ton which originate and foster it.
Persons suffering from infirmities pecu-
liarly incident to the decline of life,
ladies in delicate health, and GONZALES
cents, derive solace and vigor from its
use. Drive away the blues and revive
the dropping energies with this grand
stimulative tonic.

INTEREsT.-For some time past In
terest rates on money at East have been
going lower and lower until now, as
will be seen by the dispatches, capital
goes begging In New York at one and
half per cent. per annum on call.
The reason of this is that all public en-
terprises and building have stopped,
and there is no way of using the mil
lions of money on hand. This makes it
bad on both capitalists and laborers, and
just how long each will have to suffer
on it would be hard to predict. Here
in Austin there is less demand for
money than for years before, and prob
ably interest rates, like rents and
prices of property, will keep dropping
lower and lower. Building and i'm
proving in Austin has almost entirely
stopped, and therefore no one wants to
borrow money, unless to take up On
obligation to decrease interest on in
debtedness. A money lender remarked
the other day that there was more
money to be had in Austin now than
ever before. We do not believe there
is a sensible man in Austin now who
would borrow money at ten. per cent.
interest to build stores or residences to
rent. Tho fact is there has been too
much borrowing and building in Aus
tin already. That's what's the matter.

STRINGENT TINES. the strin-
gent times of the past three years have
diminished the wealth of millions and
completely bankrupted thousands, af-
fecting all classes of people, more or
less, from the shores of the Atlantic to
the shores of the Pacific, yet there has
been some sweet mixed in with the
sour and the good that is to follow will
be lasting. Texas, perhaps, is profit
ing more by the hard times of which
We have heard so much than any other
State-the schooling she needed she is
getting. Had times continued good,
Texas would not have received such an
influx to her population from the East
and older States of the Union as she
has the past three years, and thousands
OF acres of land that are now being
cultivated would still be q wilderness
OF waste, and the frontier counties, now
settling up rapidly and presenting the
most encouraging signs, would yet be
overrun by murderous Indians. Aud
the old Texans have also learned les
sons by the hard times. Now they are
content to make living by raising
something besides cotton and cattle,
and everywhere they are raising diver
sity of crops, and in place of living in
shabby old log cabins they are follow
ing the examples Of new corners and
are putting up coy, comfortable
houses. They are also setting out
orchards, giving proper consideration
to the improvement of their stock, to
the dairy business, and many other
things that add comforts to the farm
and givel to the people at large abso-
lutte necessities. A few short years ago
they scarcely brought anything to
town but cotton, corn and beeves.
Now, they have wheat, oats, Irish pota-
toes, fruit, vegetables, plenty Of milk
and butter, turkeys, chickens and eggs
for sale, and in . very short time Aus
tin will be as well supplied with all
kinds of farm products as any town
or city in the older States. Let US not
complain about the times out Of which
so much good has come and will still
come. II Texas continues to improve
in the next few years a. she hss in the
past few, she will soon take her place
as one OF the first States in the Union.
All we need 10 population and in
dustry. The former we are getting
and the latter We can practice.

spices, soaked in a sweet pickle, and
then boiled. The packing Is done while
the meat is hot, and the cans, after

parts great expansive energy to the

and a puncture of the tin releases it
