An ExllCrualiOn.

Our friend DR.. Erhard, of Bastrop,
sends an article to which we give the
above caption. He begins with a ref
erence to the poem, Napoleon at the
Plow," which is too fattering for US
to print, and proceeds:
1t seems strange TO me, that so many
OF our people, born and reared in Tex

preciate the climate and soil of Texas
There is no paradise on earth, and
Texas, with all its beauties, fne eli.

faults-to be only corrected by the
skill OF man, the pillow, energy and per-
severance. Do not not lay the fault
Of failures of men to God, for he has
blessed Texas with diversity of climate
suitable to raise rice, sugar, tobacco,
small grain. cotton fruit and grain,
and ample pasturage for millions OF cat

too indolent TO take advantage of these
resources, complain OF a Deity who.

EHRIcu's FASHION QUARTERLY de.
servedly stands at the he'd Of the
periodical literature of Fashion: and
indeed, in its own peculiar field, it may
be said to be absolutely without ri
val. Combining the features Of cat
alogue, a fashion review, and price
current, it tells its readers what goods
are most in vogue, in what assortments
they are offered. and at what prices
they can be procured: and the claim
of its publishers. that it is thorough.
ly reliable Purchasers Guide has Ger .
tainly a strong foundation of truth.
The Winter number is, of course, de.
voted largely to holiday goods, although
the current fashions of the season in
dress are by no means neglected, and
space is also given to china and silver
ware and other household articles. A
novel and most useful feature is the
classification under proper headings, Of
presents suitable for gentlemen and
ladies', a reference to which exhibits at
a glance the different items of mascu-
line and feminine necessity, and en-
ables the intending givers to avoid that
dreadful vacancy of mind so apt to
overtake them when they sit down to
consider what they shall give"
The literary portion of the maya
zine is also excellent, and abounds
with interesting tales and sketches,
and useful articles on household sub
iects. Miss Corson, of the New York
Cooking School, contributes some of
her experiences: and the lessons in
dressmaking. and the art Of lace work
will he welcome tn every lady reader.
Published by Enrich & Co., New
York, at 50 cents a year. or Is cents a

urging Congress to make the necessary ap-
priation for the pay of United States Mar
shals
To the Senate and House of Represeatofices ::
The bill asking appropriations for the pay
ment of fees of United States Marshals and
their general deputies, which I have this
day returned to the House of Representa-
tives Gin which it Originated) with my OBJ
jections, having on its reconsideration by that
body failed to become law, l respectfully
call your attention to the immediate necessity
of making some adequate provision for the
due and efficient execution by the Marshals
and Deputy Marshals of the United States of
the constant and important duties enjOined up
on them by existing laws. All the appro-
priations to provide for the performance of
these indispensable duties expire to-day.
Under the laws prohibiting public officers
from involving the Government in contract liza
bilties beyond the actual appropriation, it is
apparent that the means at the disposal Of
the Executive Department for executing the
laws through the regular ministerial officers
will, after to-day, be left inadequate. The
suspension of the necessary functions in the
ordinary administration Of the first dnties of
| the Government for the shortest period il in
consistent with the public interest, and at any
moment may prove inconsistent with the pub
lie safety. II is impossible for me to look
without grave concern on q state Of things
which leaves the public service thus unpro-
vided for and the public interest thus unpro-
tected; and l earnestly urge on your attention
the necessity of making immediate appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the service of the
Marshals and Deputy Marshsls for the fiscal
year which commences tomorrow.
