noses while passing through Austin
they had been perfuming the city to
prevent yellow fever. The prairie
from Austin to Manor is for the most
part undulating black lands, and the
last named place is regular hog.wal.
low, though its inhabitants are civil,
good people, but one feels like he is
rotbiug the widow and orphan when
he takes drink Of water there. 1t is
emphatically a dry city. And Elgin
is like unto it in this respect. Lex
ington is wide place in the road al
most grown up in weeds. Such is the
description given Of it by one Of the
citizens, an officer with big six-
shooter on who looked like he was
standing in the weeds for deer. We
stayed loug enough to hear dry an
ecdote or two, and then drove out into
the post oaks, and on toward Caldwell.
Lexington is surrounded by fine
body Of land and used to handle two
thousand bales of cotton annually, but
is equidistant from Rockdale, on the
international, and Giddings, on the
Central, and ruined by them as they
are only about fifteen miles distant |;

some proud men have the misfortune

Elgin to Caldwell, | think they would
come down out of their inestimable
selves little. for one must stoop and
bow till the habit Of politeness is ac-
quired. The tree limbs have been
feeling out for sunshine and air till
they lap over the road, and the sand
lappers who live thereabout, have not
enough sunlight in their hearts to lop
off the limbs or to work the roads.
But they have nearly all got the chills
in the Post Oaks. l approached

full prairie which overlooks the town,

Germun Marriage EnRWge>
yno0eu.

10 Germany aud other continental
countries the engagement is surround.
cd by circumstances as oeremonious us
marriage. The beginning Of the at.
tachment, except among members Of
the royal families. lies with the parties
themselves. The choice is made BY
those, more clearly interested. But
before engagement the couple must not
be seen together except in the presence
Of chaperon. They do not stroll to-
gether to theaters, oonceria and other
placos Of public amusement without
the company Of the ever.presept third
party. To zee two young people walk.
ing arm. .in.arm is a sure sign Of their
engagement. Presuming they are So
fortunate as to have parents living the
gentleman approaches his father upon
the matter, and if he is not wholly op.
posed to the match he allows himaelt
to be persuaded to arrange a confer
ence with the immediate ancestor Of
the desired bride. This conference is
usually mysterious to the two anxious
ones, and is generally very pleasantly
interrupted by the pulling Of corka
and the sllnking Of glasses. The fu-
ture external welfare of the couple p
here ofttimes discussed and determined
upon-their acres, their linens, their
gold meted out and the formal refusal
or consent arrived at. Then notices
are sent out by both the intended
bride and groom, and in the case Of
relatives and very intimate friends an
invitation is given TO festival at the
house Of the lady's pare nts, to cele-,
brate the joyous engagement. Most
commonly, too, the notice OF said en-
gagement is published in the town pa
per. After the engagement tho couple
are quite as intimate, II not more s0s
to the world, as they are with us--in
theory they are as man and wife. and
the step to married lite is gentle and
an easy one. If there is u rupture ia
the engagement this is as formally an
nounced as the engagement itself A
statement that its dissolution reflects
no discredit on either party is sigued
by the lady's father or guardian and
the conference.-the intended groom.
The result of this 10 that persons arc
not engaged 10 more than one at a
time, and cases of half dozen en-
gagements before lady reaches twenty
are utterly unheard of-they would be-
considered monstrous.

BEN. Butler is down ON both the
great parties. He says:
THE misery Of the poor in the land
to-day is due to the infamous legisla-
ton and the accursed system of laws
enacted by the Republican party in the
interests of capitalists. Every law
made by the Republican party, since
Grant went into the White House. has
been for the rich and against the poor,
The Democratic and Republican party
