THE Telegram asserts hat the State
of Texas has not progressed 3 step
since Governor Roberts was inaugu-
rated. The Telegram is evidently in
the gray dawn of despair, and IS it
sees all hope departing, cares nothing
for its assertions. 1t is wretchedly
left, and it knows it, and in its
phrenzy is utterly unreliable and per-
fectly harmless.

A King of Glacierss

An Alaska letter to the San Francisco Bulletin says: The upper part of the ford is about from 8 mile to mile and a half wide, and shut in by sublime Yosemite cliffs, nobly sculptured and adorned with snowy falls, and cascades, and fringes of trees and bushes and small patches of flowers. The general interest grows as we advance. but amid So crowded display of novel beauty it is not easy to concentrate the attention long enough on any portion of it with out giving more days and years than our lives can afford. l was determined at least to see the grand fountain of all this ice As we passed headland after headland, hoping as each was rounded we should obtain a view of it, 1t still remained very perfectly hidden, " Ice mountain hi yu kumtucks hide," said Tween (glaciers know how 10 hide ex- tremely well), as he rested, for moment, after rounding huge granite shoulder of the wall, whence we expected to gain 8 view of the extreme head of the ford. The bergs, however, toward the head were nowhere closely packed and we made good progress, and finally found our game occupying a branch of the ford that cones in from the northeast at half past eight o'clock, fourteen and g halt hours after setting out.
 This glacier is about three-tourths o1 mile wide at the snout, and probably about 800 feet deep, with wall of beau tifully carved ice about 150 feet higl facing the deep blue water of the ford It is much wider few miles further back, the snout being jammed between sheer granite walls from $500 to 4.00t feet high. It shows grandly from where hY.ol sweeping boldly forward and downward in it's majestic channel, swaying iron side to side around stern, undinchins rock pillars in graceful fluent lines While I stood in the canoe making : sketch of it several bergs came off witt a tremendous dash and thunder, raisin! a fine dust and spray of ice and wate to a height of 100 feet.

 MT. Everleigh silently went to sma Il ebony cabinet, unlocked it, and drew out a folded pacer, which he placed in her hands.

 There was moments silence. The old man was pondering over the past, and Mrs. Raynesford was so taken by sur- prise that she could not speak.

 Mrs. Raynesford had no argument suited to the exigencies of the case, so she very wisely said-nothing.

MouIdn,t Marry in Haste.

In one of Michigan's interior towns live couple known as the "Siamese Twins" They are always together. No one in the village ever remembers seeing one unaccompanied by the other. They go to church together, they split wood together, they walk the streets to- gether, and they fight together Not long ago, after a severe battle, & gentle man said to the feminine twin:
 "Sarah Jane, why do you pummel your unprotected husband SOP Think how bad you would feel if he would die."
 "Oh," said Sarah Jane. in tone that sho wed the matter was settled in her mind, |" we will die together. We made that arrangement when we were married. You see John Henry was married before, and seven days after his first wife died he came tu me and asked me to marry him. Johr Henry said |, you ought to be asharled of your self.

C. l.. CHASE, Proprietor.

The inexpensive striped velvets will
 therefore, be used by ladies of small l means, swhile those who have more
 money will choose coats of plush, either
 plain, striped, ribbed. or brocaded,
 which cost from S3. 50 8 yard to S6 CT $S ;
 the brocaded velvets are shown at the
 same range of prices given for plush, 1 but the plain velvets are less expensive,
 and cost according to the amount of silk
 used in them. A great deal of what is called silk velvet has all the silk thrown into the pile, while the foundation is cotton, or at most linen, and these goods are now used, just as the Breton and Languedoc laces are, by fastidious women who formerly bought none but genuine fabrics and real laces the diff ference in price, and the very good ap pearance of the low.priced velvets are considerations not to be overlooked, as trimming veivets begin as low as $l.25 9 yard, while wider velvets for parts of dresses are $2.25; rich velvets of pure silk are $6 yard. The striped cor duroy velvets are what they profess to be, viz, velveteen-that is, cotton throughout, and these are found in triple stripes. or else in embossed stripes, in all the bronze, gray, ecru, brown, green, and garnet shades now used for $1 8 yard. For short plain skirts to be worn with woolen over-dresses, for misses and child1en's suits, and for the box-plaited
 blouses worn in the morning with black or colored skirts, these are excellent fabrics.
 Wool dre ses left over from last year may also be renovated by leaving the trimmed skirts as they now are, and using instead of the waist a basque of one of the Persian brocades of mixed
 wool and silk. These come in quaintly
 pretty designs at seventy-ive cents to S2 yard, and are forty-six inches wide,
 hence only a small quantity will be re- quired. Already salesmen in the shops suggest to the purchaser. when choosing 2 a new dress, to buy only enough of these brocades for basque, and use plain stutfs for the skirts. SO the fashion is l settled one, and will meet the approval of conservative tastes. Another useful suggest tion is that of providing broche borders in stripes across fabric 6 yard and a quarter wide, so that precisely the quanti.v needed can be cut off; two stripes arc usually sold, o1 of which is wide enough for any trimming used on the skirt drapery, while the narrower border trims parts of the basque. The most exclusive modistes commend the solid colored wool goods. such as cash
 mere aud camel's hair, for entire cos tunes; and since cloth suit has be- come the object of desire with so many, these closely twilled woolens may he
 bought most reasonably in pure wool
 and in good dark shades. Plum, green l and brown cashmeres at seven ty-five l cents a yard, made mp over silk lining I at $l 2 yard, and trimmed with plait- ings that are half of the cashmere and half of satin de Lyon of the same shade, l will be most refined dresses, and such as are seen Tt many leading houses.
