A Winter Journey

We we're summoned to Hearne. the
junction of the Central and 1nterna-
tional railroads. to meet our children
on their return; so Instead of enjoying
Christmas at home and in the social
circles of our pleasant village it thus 'ell
to our lot to face the northers on a
Journey of some 1870 miles. We left
the day before Christmas; che weather
had beuun to set in cold; the next
morning the ground was covered with
sleet, and the whole aspect of nature
reminded US forcibly of the traditiona
ry Christmas of our native North. We
reached Hearne by the International
some time after dark on Christmas,
and found it to be place more agreea
BILE to have hearn tell of than to be ut,
The most intense selishness stuck

were compelled to remain till Friday
morning. great infection.
We did not like the post gak sandy
region up this way bit. In fact we
have seen no part of Texas we should
like to live in but the West, with its
romantic scenery, crystal streams and
evergreen woodlands.
At Austin on our return, we found
that there had been considerable fire
on Christmas night. in a central part
of the city, which it was conceded
would have been very generally deo-
tructive had it not been suppressed by
the determined efforts OF the Fire
Companies, who dared all exposure and
danger to that end, as the scene of the
conhagration showed. The Fire De-
partment of Austin ranks first class in
organization and efficiency.
We stopped at the Csrrollton House

judicial and Like Advertising

The prectico which confines the ad-
yertisement of shertfs sales and tax
sales to posting at courthouse doors
and other places, not generally fire..
quented and often obscure, which has
long prevailed in Texas, is an evil of
accommodating magnitude. It involves
serious loss to the State. to taxpayers,
to defendants in executions for debts,
and often to judgment creditors, who
are left dissatisfied after property is
sacrificed for want of sufficient publici-
ty OF sale to invite possible bidders,
In sales where orphans aud minors are
interested it il liable to work great in
justice. Sheriffs, and other court off,
cers-not interested in having change
derive some advantage, perhaps, in
preserving the present method. The
Ne,cs is at an obvious disadvantage in
advocating the publication Of such sd
vertisements iD newspapers Of the
largest circulation in the respective
localities of sheriffs and tax sales.
because it is so easy to say that this
paper and others, that may unite in ag
itating the subject. do so under the
bias of special self-interest. But, on
the other band, let the public and let
members of the legislature recollect
that opposers of the change and stick
lers for the present sntiqusted practice
which originated in days when there
were no railroads and few or no news
papers, may also be under the bias of
special self interest-and bias,
vithai, which does not coincide with
considerations of justice and public
policy.-Gdlres,on Ne,cs.

Education of Bows.

The whole tendency of modern edu-
cation is to lift boys and girls to places
they are not fitted to fill, to disgust
them with work they are fitted to do,
which must be done, and which can be
easily obtained. Our theory of educa-
ton is continually losing sight of a
fact which never permits itself to be
ignored, and teaching the young to lose
sight of it, that the mass Of people in
every generation and under whatever
form Of government must be laborers.
The old heresy that every boy has a
chance to be president of the United
States has done more mischief in the
small brains OF boys who, when they OBJ
tain monhood's strength, are fitted to
dig trenches and do nothing else, than
it has in the larger brains Of public
men who, once bitten with the personal
application of the idea, are good for
nothing afterward. The boy should
have an education which, when COM
pleted, will make the subject better
fitted to pursue well the work for
which he is fitted, which makes him
not ashamed to do it, and which thus
dignifies labor.
