The second week after her arrival,

the district school on the other side of the

offer was accepted, and she went immedi-

not very difficult to be reconcilcd to the

away heavily, especially to Charles
Robinson and Stephen Jones. They
counted the days impatiently till Satur-
DAY, and on Saturday they counted the
long and tagging hours till noon. They
had both made up their minds that it
wouldsbe dangerous to wait longer, and
they had both resolved not to let another

it was always borne away by Charles:

UNTIL within the past three weeks
much anxiety pervaded the Northern
cities because of the possible total fail
ure of the ice crop. Great breweries
use, during the year, from twenty to
seventy thousand tons of ice each, and
our German friends, as well as the pro-
prietors Of breweries, were growing
very anxious because of the protracted
duration of mild weather. But the
danger that threatened Lemp and An
heuser and Milwaukee and Chicago
beermakers has been dissipated, and
greater quantities OF ice have been
gathered this winter than ever before.
Last year the cost of beer was great
because brewers were forced to pay
five dollars, and even SIX dollars, in
stead of the accustomed two dollars
per ton for ice. This reduction
in the cost of ice enables US TO
congratulate our German readers
on the prospects for an abundant sup
ply of the choicest beer from the
Northwest delivered here in refrigera-
tor cars at the lowest prices ever
known. "Schooners" will be sold for
five cents and the beer-bibbiDg world
perfectly blest. Meanwhile our local
ice factories are storing away for sum-
mer's use the products of wintry toll,

WHAT THE LEGESLATURE
MUST DO.


When the STATESMAN has insisted
from time to time that the public debt
of Texas was constantly growing, those
in Office and their special organs have
contradicted the assertion. When
Governor Coke was last candidate
for gubernatorial honors, some foul
mouthed, stupid editor, having more
passion than decency or intelligence,
declared that the STATESMAN was q
Radical paper simply because it as
serted this simple truth. But now the
story is told by everybody and no one
contradlcts it. The public debt Of
Texas is growing about $500, 600 per
annum, and has been steadily aug
mented for some years past. The
system of Texan government was trans
formed after the war. Offices and
sinecures were multiplied that soft
places might be provided for multi
tudes of barnacles. The same state Of
facts supervened everywhere in the
''subjugAted" South. When DemOc-
racy came into power its hangers-on
were a. numberless and starved as those
of defunct RadIcalism. It had many
enemies to punish but more friends to
reward, and there was no possibility
Of lesssaing public burdens. On the
contrary We ind in all these Southern

WHAT THEDOCTORS OFF waco
say ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT
OF THE LJNATIC ASYLUM.

At regular meeting of the Medical
Association of Waco, the question of
DIR. Wallace's management of the Lu-
natic Asylum WIS considered. Recent
assaults, made n the interest, as we
may probably guess, of parties aspir-
ing to the position held by the Doctor,
make 1t eminertly proper that his pro-
fessional brethren, who know him so
well, should bs heard in the matter.
The consideration elected the adop-
tion of the folbwipg resolutions:
WHEREAS, his association has i'm
plicit contiden.e In DR.. D. r. Wallac.
as humane nan and most efficient
aud accomplished alienist as evidenced
by his most abe administration of the
State Insane Bylum for the past FIVE
years, his o9icid reports showing better
results as To jer cent. of cures and
economy of administration than those
of any similar hstitution in the United
States. (Whie he has about doubled
the number Of admissions since ne took
charge of the Institution, he has great
ly reduced che expense-the cost per
capita beirg les than in any other asy-
lum in The United States) Aud
Where's, It's the judgment of this
association thai no medical man who
has shown himself in every way so
worthy and efficient in a position of
such grave responsibility and trust
should be removed from office without
Just and wll-founded reasons; the
good of th public service and the
welfare of tie anfortunates entrusted
to his care demnd that such an officer
be retained; threfore,
ResOl0ed, Tht this association most
earnestly recommend and urge that
DR.. D. r. Waace be retained in the
position he nov so ably fills.
ResOl0ed, Fro our intimate knowl-
edge of the ma, and from the evidence
before us, we el justified in denounc-
ing as false anmalicious the ground
less and defamory charges attempted
to be brought sainst DR.. Wallace; the
motive, doubtss, being a desire to
displace him tit some less worthy man
may obtain theosition.

So with Congress. We have yet to

godliness is exceedingly unobtrusive.
They don't cost much unless one be sent

was Rev. Newman, to see whether our

and night. They draw their pay. be-

THE STATESMAN conuaIned fiug
Thursday morning stating that tele-
gram from Memphis awaited Hon.
Ashbel Smith at this office. Its con-
tents are divulged by the following
from the Acalanehe, which states that
The old years closing hours wit
messed most horrId tragedy-the sud
den and totally unexpected death of
ex-Supreme Judge Henry G.. Smith,
brother of Hon. Ashbel Smith, Of
Texas, for thirty years past one of the
leading citizens of Memphis, and fore =
most members of the Tennessee bar.
Judge Smith left his residence on Mad
ison street about 7:30 P. NJ. to attend
the citizens meeting at GreeHlaw
Opera House. He participated in the
proceedings; and after adjournment,
about 10, returned home. Throughout
the afternoon and earlier portion of
the evening he seemed in unususlly
good spirits, chatting with his family
with more than wonted gaIety. Upon
re-entering the house after the meet
ing the same flow of spirits was visible.
He went upstairs to his room, and for
a few minutes engaged in cheerful con-
versation with his wife and daughters.
Suddenly pallor was discerned on his
face: he pressed his hand to his breast
and called out, ''Wife, feel like faint
ing" These were his last words. He
fell to the floor and died at her feet.
Shocked at the awful scenes they had
witnessed, Mrs. Smith and her daugh-
ters at once seized aAd commenced
rubbing him and dashing water in his
face, in the vain hope that he had only
tainted. This hope was speedily dis
PEELED. The pulse had ceased to beat.
Death had fixed its signet on his brow.
