Etiquette for Widows and WidOwers.

1t is contrary to custom to invite
guests to the marriage of widow. If
widower marries young girl the
etiquette is the same as that of first
marriage. A widow must marry in the
morning early without show, and has
only her witnesses and those of her in
tended. Her dress must be plain, of
quiet coler; black, however, is not adj
missible. On leaving church the bride
invites to breakfast the witnesses who
have formed the party, but no other
guests are invited to this repast. On
the fifteenth day after the marriage
cards are sent bearing the new address
of the married pair. A widow never
makes wedding-calls after remarrying.
Those who receive the cards do the
visiting There is month allowed for
the return of cards and the visits.

Cure for HydrOphObia.

This dreadful disease, which has al
ways been considered incurable, seems
in fair way of yielding to medical
treatment. 1t appears that the Arabs
have secret remedy for it in the shape of
fragments of beetle tolerably common
in Tunis. These fragments are taken
internally, and, according to the recent
reports Ola French savant, possess pow
erful vesicating properties, and it would
endanger the patients life to increase
the dose too much. The Arabs are
unanimous in affirming the efficacy of
this remedy, which will act, however,
only during the eighteen or twenty days
subsequent to the biting. IT scarcely
admits of a doubt that the remedy oc-
casions attacks of collie, and, being eX-
temely powerful, should be admins
tered only with the greatest prudence.
Whether this be the only known remedy
or not remains to he shown, but it
should put the doctors on the right
track.

Perhaps it is not strange that the as-
erage person will not be persuaded that,
taking il altogether, walking is the best
exercise in which he can engage. II is
such simple and natural feat in the or
binary business of life; it is performed
so automatically, and, as one might say,
unconsciously, that he never thinks of
ascribing to it those benefits of which it
is the potential cause. We do not saw
that under peculiar circumstances, i'm
unique phases of certain disease, other
kinds of exercise may not be more effica-
cious, or may not be employed as very
useful auxiliaries to walking. Reference
is meant mainly to the average man in
ordinary health. For him, walking at
the proper time, in the proper manner
and at the proper distances has advan-
tages of which he does not dream.
Horseback riding, which so many
physicians recommend to patients with
constitutions, is doubtless
very restorative; but first-class authori-
ties allege, and with reason, that, excel
lent rs this mode of exercise is, it is i'm
ferior as Il whole to walking. 1t some
times seams, we admit, as though an
individual were born whose feet and
legs were merely intended to carry him
to stages, cars, steamboats,, and so forth,
and that none of his motion through life
was meant byan inscrutable Providence
TO be personal, active and voluntary
But these cases are not numerous. In |
most instances the will to walk alone is
needed. All the rest may safely be left

Short Lived.

1t is said that engineers are not gen
orally long lived, even if they escape ac-
cidents, particularly those who have
charge of express trains, for the reason
that the constant strain upon the mind,
great anxiety, as well as the constant
shaking and Earring they receive while
the engines are running, have tend
ency to bring on ailments which shorten
life. This general shaking up that en-
ginners receive can only lie appreciated
by getting upon locomotive that runs
forty miles an hour. Though there are
springs upon the huge machine, one
would scarcely imagine that such is the
fact. The engineers of freight engines
fare better, because there is less respon-
sibility and the trains move much
slower.

Are Fat PeapIo Healthy?

Why are fat people always complaining? asks
some one who entertains the popular though
erroneous notion that health issynonymous with
fat Fat people complain because they are dis
eased. Obesity is an abnormal condition of the
system, in which the saccharine and oleaginous
clements Of the food are assimilated to the par
tial exclusion of the muscle forming and brain
producing clements. In proof of this, ii is only
necessary to assert the well-known fact that ex-
cessively fat people are never strong, and sell
dom distinguished for mental powers or activity.
Besides, they are the easy prey Of acute and
epidemic diseases, and they are the frequent
victims of govt, heart disease and apoplexy.
Allan's Anti-Fat is the only known remedy for
this disease. 1t contains no acid, is absolutely
harmless, and is warranted to remedy the most
confirmed case of obesity, or corpulency.

OFF with the Old.

The Mikads of Japan, having decreed
that all his subjects holding official situa-
tons shall dress like Europeans, they
and their wives, the japanese milliners,
who had not seen fashions change for a
thousand years, have consigned to Paris
the thousands and thousands of native
dresses which they had in stock, and
Partisan ladies are now wearing them as
dressing-gowns. They are said to be
very becoming, and the bright dyes in
them-a secret we ought to learn-will
stand any amount of washing Chinese
silken skirts, so fine that you can pass
them through wedding ring, are also
being sold in quantities; but the attempt
to introduce Chinese peaked straw hats
into fashion has failed hitherto.

Election omeers.

a
Under existing laws judges
and clerks of elections in Texas
gets no pay for their services
and the consequence is that
is very difficult toget conf
tent men to hold elections.
though the requirements
counting the ballessafe very
simple, it frequently happens
that returns are sent in to coun-
ty judges for the official count
in such shape that they have
to be thrown out, thisfor no 9TH
er reason than the ignorance of
the. officers of election. In nearly
all the states elections officers
are paid for their services. The
duties are arduous and there is
no reason why the State should
not pay for the service render
ed. Until this is done there
will be no change in the pres
ent unsatisfactory manner of
conducting elections. This is a
matter that should receive the
attention ofthe legislature. The
evil complained ofis not conhn-
ed to any particular locality,
but is general throughout the
State. The San Antonio En-
prrss says there was great diff
6culty in procuring clerks o.
election. At one box in Bren-
ham where a large vote was
polled it took the officers thirty
six consecutive hours to ecount
the vote; such work is crtainly
worth pay. The time of count.
ing should also be changed SC
as to permit the count to go OF
during the day or rather count
as the ballots are received; by
this means the result would be
obtained shortly after the polls
closed.

THE following from the Mem
phis Appeal speaks for it self:
Reverting to the figures sup
piled by the newspaper Offices,
we find, all those engaged in
reproduction of the Evening
Ledger only one escaped, of the
Avalanche four escaped, and of
the Appeal only two. Of the
Ledger employees 4 died, of that
Avalanche IS, and Of the APP
peal 10. OF the Ledger en-
ployes 9 convalesced to recov-
cry, of the Avalanche's 10, and
of the Appeal FL. These hg-
ures are eloquent ofthe ravages
of the pestilence among the
newspaper people. but when
our readers study the statistics
for themselves, they will see
that when the wives and chill
dren who were dependent upon
these employees and employers
are taken into account, the story
is intensified almost beyond be-
lief. Take the..Appeal office for
instance, where. out of Is per-
son-men, women and children
"a were buried, SO GONZALES

that the garbage was the cause

From an extra of the Brazos
Pilot of the 9TH inst. we learn
the following: About II or IL
O'clock on Sunday night FIVE
men, all well armed Went to the
house of Thomas Higgs, who
lives some three miles from
Bryan, and tied him to the bed
robbing him of $3.50; they then
took Mr.. Higgs with them and
proceeded to the house of his
brother Sam, about a quarter of
a mile off. They made Thorn
as go in the lead and knock at
the door, threatening to kill
him if he uttered a word. Be-
ing overpowered he obeyed
orders. When Sam was arous-
ed and asked who was at the
door there was no reply. Sam
warned the parties on the out
side that he would shoot unless
he was answered; there being
no reply shooting was COM
menced. Sam fired through
the door with a six-shooter,
the first shot taking effect in
his brothers side and penetrat-
ing the lungs. The robbers
fired a number of shots into
the house and then ran off, TAX
ing two horses from a man who
lived near by. Sam Higgs'
house was riddled by bullets,
but he escaped with a slight
flesh wound. The robbers were
tracked some distance north-
ward and are supposed to have
passed through town during the
night. Parties are in pursuit
and if the brigands are captur.
ed 1t IS supposed short WORK
will be made of them. Coco
men in Bryan pledged re
wards for their capture. Thi:
is the second or third raid thai
has been made on these unfor
