HOW THE BATTLE ENDED.

From the Galveston News.
A gentleman from the count y ar
rived at Galveston hotel the other day
with his little boy. The little fellow
had never seen anybody play operatic
music, so when he peeped into the par
lor and saw lady leaning away back
on a piano-stool pawieg the instru-
ment and whoopirg, 81 am dying for
some to lcve me, he naturally became
interested, and when his father came
back to the hotel he told him that
thele had been woman fighting with
the piano. (Which go5 whipped ?"
asked the parent, smiling at the SIM
plicity of tbe child. "She hollered"
was the response.

The SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION met
last night. Gen. X. VI. Reynolds In the chair and
j. W. Cromwell secretary. Mr.. Green, from the
committee on constitution and y-laws made
report recommending Sundry amendments
which were considered and discussed at length.
There was considerable discussion on the mo-
ton TO amend 50 as to exclude smoking at the
meetings. Mr. Volt. OF Virginia, said there
were certain habits peculiar 10 southern gentle
men, among them those OF "chawing not
chewing-and smoking tobacco and drinking
whiskey. lie was in favor OF suspending all
these peculiar practices during the hours OF
these meetings. as they all desire to have their
heads clear during the discussion OF the momen-
tous questions, which are likely TO arise 1t had
been said that no deliberative body of any dig
nifty ever INDUCES in the habit OF smoking. He
begged 10 differ with gentlemen. The most de-
Lucrative body he knew OF was VIGOROUSLY
Smoker-that body is General L. S. Grant
but his case Is an exceptional one and should
not be followed by the southern republican as
ISOLATION. They desire TO maintain their dignity
and self-respect, and not TO drive away gentle
men who are sensitive TO such nuisances. He
hoped the amendment would be adopted. The
motion was further discussed by MeSSrs. Horn,
Reredeil, McLindSey, Cardoza, Brown, Hill and
others; and adopted The constitution and by
laws were then adopted as whole, and the sec
rotary was instructed TO have them engroSSed
in the book OF records. Gen. G. G. Koones OF
Ala, Judge Weston Wflloughby OF West Va,
Judge Cardell, A. j. Johnson OF Tenn. We're
elected TO membership. The meeting adjourned
until next Tuesday night, when the permanent
Officers will be elected.

RnIlrAah AhsuSoS.

Editor star:-You will do the public great
service il you will call the attention OF the all-
thorities of our city to the abuses which have
been practiced OF late on New York avenue.
The most delightful and beautiful portion of
this grand avenue has been assigned to the uses
of the Columbia Railway Company. Some
months ago this corporation commenced to re-
pair its unsightly track, and for this purpose
destroyed much OF the sod bordering said track
Not only has this sod not been replaced. but
the excavations made are In many places still
open, and the consequence is that this misera-
bly, built track despoils the beauty of the most
admired street OF the capital. Yet there seems
TO be no one whose duty it is to look after the
matter; or If there is such an officer he grossly
neglects the duties for which he is paid Then
again, whenever the asphalt pavements on
either side OF the parking are icy, the whole
current of travel rushes through the park;
much OF it keeping partly on the railway track,
but more upon the Sodding of the park. few
days ago we saw two carts loaded with coal
stalled IN this park, and yet the police never in
terfered. Now, if the streets intended for travel
do not answer. the purpose the sooner the as
phait is abandoned the better, at least the
parking will no longer add beauty or healthful-
ness to our streets unless there is some protect
ing power somewhere which can be invoked.

Funeral Reform.

Editor SARA radical reform in funeral
arrangements is imperatively demanded both
upon social and religious grounds. AS con-
Quoted at present they involve most reprehen-
sible extravaganza, and are, to say the least,
little better than shams and mockefies Of grief.
No one will deny the right Of the bereaved to
show every and all tokens of respect to their
departed ones, but when this is done at great
expense, in many cases creating responsibilities
which take long time to wipe OFF, it robs the
occasion OF all solemn1ty. A complete reform
would be an advantage to society, and especially
to the Chief m burners themselves. 1t Is high
time that stand was taken by those who have
courage enough to break the chains of slavish
custom, and in the rauks Of men Of position and
means such benefactors ought surely to be
found Let them but set the example, and
without doubt the desired results will follow
slowly perhaps at first, but not the less surely.
Very recently, both here and in Great Britain.
there have been Salutary instances amongst
notable people, where the parade of
flowers nov was -, forbidden and none but
conveyances were used, and the under
takers, in the matter of collins, were restricted
TO minimum display Of funeral tinseL Under
takers and florists, whose interests will be en-
dangeIed by the needed reform, may for
a season sturdily oppose it, but it will
be short one. Their interested views can
not be allowed moments consideration when
the morality and comfort OF large classes of the
community are seriously affected; and upon
both social and religious grounds it therefore
becomes the duty OF all TO aid in the required
funeral reform. A. w.
