Wedding Bells.

MARRIED-In this city at the residence
of Mrs. .. c. McCollm, on Wednesday.
the Sth inst, at 10 4. RI, Hon. \. W. Hous-
ton, of San antonio, TO Mrs. Sallie III,
Winstead, of Austin, the Rev. VIM. Shap-
ard officiating.
To live is to love, and the union of two
hearts, where love presides, is the sweet
est, the most sacred, and withal the most
solemn of all the ties existing and control
ing the lives and actions of intelligent
beings. What hopes, what fear, COM
mingled into strange incougruity, beau
tify and perturb the thoughts of
those thus united, while the vows
are being plighted and the faith
pledged. But while the assembled
guests were witnessing the above named
ceremony, SO grand and royal seemed the
groom, and so happy and radiant the
bride, from the breast of each welled up
the voluntary conviction that angels
We're there, bountifully bestOwing the
smiles of blessing and benediction on
their plighted troth. Present, in honor
of the brilliant and happy occasion, were
Gov. Roberts, Ex-Governor Lubbock and
Secretary of State, MIR. Templeton. After
the ceremony, champagne flowed freely,
and, as libatiOns of esteem and Well
wishes to the bride and groom were
slipped gracefully by the friends pres
ent. In conclusion the STATESMAN
takes pleasure in congratulating Senator
Houston, one of the states most gifted
and distinguished young men, upon his
conquest of the heart and hand of one
so like a paragon in grace and am,abil-
ity as is the lady of his love, and may the
sky of their future be cloudless and their
pathway be strewn with flowers. The
Senator and his bride left on the Texas
Central for San Antonio via Houston, i'm
mediately after the nuptual rites were
solemniZed.

The Chinese and Japanese excel all
other nationaiities in the culture Of early
vegetables. This arises from the fact that
they use only liquid manures. hence the
growth of the plants is most rapid, aud, as
natural consequence, the vegetables are
very brittle and tender. Lettuce and
radishes they force rapidly, giving the
plants sprinkling once day. Tobacco
and tea plants are also treated in like
manner.

There Is move on foot that bids fair 10
be successful in having at least one road
leading into the city put in good order.
In conversation yesterday with promi-
nent merchant. he informed the reporter
that the county commissioners were will
ing To appropriate one thousand dollars to
have the Oatmanville road put in first
class condition from this city to the above
place, provided the citizens of Austinwill
contribute fifteen hundred dollars. lie
said two the leading business men were
willing TO donate five hundred dollars
each, and he thought the matter OF raising
the other five hundred wonld prove an
easy Job. The distance TO Oatmanville is
eight miles, and the above sum will give
u little over three hundred dollars per
mile, which is certainly ample to place
the road in the very best order. There Is
plenty of material near at hand, and it Is
hoped work will commence on this. the
most important road leading into town, rs
soon as possible. From Oatmanville out
and through the counties of Blauco, Gil
lespie, Kimble, Mason and Llano, the
road is probably the best natural one in
the state, and travellers and freighters find
no difficulty imposing over it. While the
business men are about it, they must re-
member that there are other roads need
ing work. The one leading to Round
Rock and the Cameron, Manor and others.
are reported almost impossible and should
be attended TO. 1t will be well TO accept
the proposition of the county commission
ers, and raise five thousand dollars and
have all the roads repaired and made
