VANITY WELL PUNISHED AND A
SWELL REDUCED. An exceeding nee
Young man of this city was gwen
proper lesson few days ago. He is
not noted for delicacy OF feeling or
language, and staTes at strangers, es-
pecial'y if plainly attired, with the
WI: gar a-dneis of New 70 K swell.
Our hero was accustomed to boast,
with brutal cOarseness, now and then,
of his coBques,s among the women,
and especially was he pleased that an
excellent dame of the cap t Il had SUI
fered him to kiss her. He told the
story somewhat confidently to gaping
crowd who Ii, tened intently. When
the gay young gentleman was done, his
listeners dispersed. Directly one of
them returned, saying that the lady of
whom he was speaking was the sister
in-!aw of fierce young fellow
t. whom the vile recital had been re-
peated, and that our hero must recant
or die. He was even required to call
on the lady he had foully wronged and
apologize. There was never youth
worse frightened. He sought his room,
his bottle. his Colts repeater, and even
yesterday the poor idiot was behind
his lock and KEY constantly dreadiDg
the appearance of the terrible brother
iD-law of the slsndered woman. The
Ike has surely been carried far enough.
There is NO such brother-in-law. but
the excellent young men have tdmlE-
istered lesson which this gay Lotha-
rio will never forget. Whatever his
own vices or the Incredible weakness
of women who may be victims of his
wlles, he will never again betray 3
woman or his own stupidity by reclt
ing real or supposed facts detrimental
TO a woman's good name. He who
would sacrifice a woman in order tt
CRAFTY his own vanity is too finished
An idiot, if not kuaye, to be suffered
to run at large in Austin, and this fell
low should stick to his private room
till the facts are forgotten.

THE TINS TO Cur Grass. iIti-
man food plants are better when
mstured, but for animal food we dad
the opposite true. The younger plant
the richer it is for animal food, aud SO
with portions of plants, those thst arc
OF more recent growth are richer than
those parts of older growth. IL The
growth OF plants there is constant
change going on in their chemical
properties. This is the key TO the uu-
Outstanding OF the whole question of
the value of plant food, and sheds
much light upon the question under
discussion. Those plants that have the
deep rich green colorare more valuable
than those of paler hue. This, 81
course, depends on the dressing 9
which the field is treated then Il NUS
have plenty Of sunshine and water.
The grass that grows on too dry sell
is wiry and bushy; that growing %
rich, moist land is soit and more nutss-
tious.
II is very accurately established that
green and dry clover do MT differ IN
their substance, the drying Of clover
not deprIving it of any of is qualities.
AS 1t grows old after beiag cuL It loses
these good qualities. Hay the second
year is not so nutritious IS i Is the iirst
year, neither is it as good 81 the close
of winter as at the opening when feed
ing begins.
Many facts tend to show that Just
previous to blossomIng is the time 20
get happy medium between quality
aud quantity. But the time 10 cut hay
depends largely upon what you want
to do with il when cut. II you wish
to sell it, and desire bulk and weight,

SCIENCE has accomplished no more
wonderful or gratifying result tnan the
perfection of an aDtIdote to the chilling
signs of approaching age, something to
o. literate the tell-tale tracks OF time,
and preserve the natural adornments
of youth to ripe old age. HALLS Hair
Ranewer does all this, and its praise
resouuds in cottage and palace. The
dwellers amoug the SHOWS of Norway
and the peasants of sunny France and
Spain fiud use for it, and find means
to get it, and it does not diSsppoiDt
them. The whitening locks again re-
sumo their youthful color, the thin,
dry and faded hair becomes bright and
glossy. The whole appearance Is
changed as if by magic, and the man
or woman, who before was called aged,
now appears as one in the prime oil
life. These wondrous changes cannot
pass uuno ced, and they hsve produced
the unprecedented demand that now
exists for the first and only article ever
compounded t1at can produce them in
pleasing and satisfactory manner. =

Some elegant new brick store houses
have been recently erected and con-

Rockdale will probably handle 90
900 bales of cotton during the coming

probably be disposed of here than at

HIGHwAYMEN. Saturday night Mr..
John Wright, living across the river,
was IN the city, and detained unit. q
late hour. On his return, as he was
crossing Bouldin branch, two white men
stepped out from the side of the road,
hailed him, and made him get down.
They went through his pockets and
left. We did not learn what amount
they got. They are undoubtedly the
men that robbed Mr.. Shannonhouse
the evening previous. The officers
should keep on sharp look out for
these men and bring them to grief.

IT is asserted that the ordinary cos
metics used Oy ladies are productive
of great mischief. We believe this is
so, and that better means of securing

clesnses the blood and gives permanent
