The necessity of good hospital in this
city has been want long felt, and there is
not a citizen in Dallas who has even spark
of charity in him, but that will rejoice TO
learn that there are prospects for procureing
better and more comfortable asylum for
the unfortunate sick and sillic.ei. The pres
cut building looks more like barn than y
hospital, and has mono of the convenience
necessary 10 such pace. The treatment
the patients receive al the hands Of the city
physician and steward is sufficient, but so far
as the buildiI e goes it is failure, and some
of the moro liberal of the merchants Of this
city have entrusted themselves in the matter
and propose to donate SO much with what
the city will give and can be raised outside
TO build hospital that will be credit to
the city and n comfort productive of good to
her sick. The matter of raising funds has
been placed in the hands of DR.. Carter, the
health officer and 80 soon as the the neees-
sary sum is raised the erection of the building
will begin.

THE SNARL FAMILY.-Daisy is little
girl three years old She has blue eyes
that open wide with wonder when she is
surprised, and twinkle with fun and mis-.
chief great deal of the time-a pretty
little rosy mouth, and an abundance of
long golden hair.
Now this hair has always been great
trial 10 Daisy, for it has to be combed and
brushed every day and when she plays
housekeeping" under the table with
maple sngar for "tea.' or creeps under
the lounge to play bear" the hair gets
badly tangled, and fairly ties itself up
in little knots, SO that when it is combed
there are a great many little shrieks and
jumps from Daisy.
But one day, when aunlie WAS brushing
Dasy's hair she discovered what made all
the trouble. And what do you suppose it
wasp Why, a family by the name Snarl
had moved into Daisy's hair and they
didn't like to be turned out. There were
Father and Mother Suar, and Johnny and
Susan, besides Il lot of little Snarls, and
even Il baby Snarl. And AS auntie chased
each one to its hiding pace she lectured
them on their naughtiness in troubling
Daisy so.
There. Johny Snarl, see you hiding
behind Daisy's ear. Aren't you ashamed
to plague little girl SOP Now don't
think you can escape; you'll have to
come out"
"Ah! that was Susan that pulled 30
She's II stubborn girl is Susan Snarl, and
| determined not to come out"
"And here is Mother Snarl, and ever 50
many little ones with her. Such pro-
voking family! Even Baby Snarl pulls as
hard as he can"
An Daisy gets so interested in the
doings of the Snarl family that she forgett
all about the hurt, and laughs aloud at the
discontinue Of Johnny Or the hard chase
auntie has after Susan Sometimes the
Snarls have company A great many
aunts and uncles and cousins come TO visit
them. This generally happens after Dai
sy has had molasses- candy frolic, ol
some unusual romp. But then the fun is
greater than ever with SO many to talk tc
and turn out of doors. And one day
Daisy said.
"Mamma, does the Snarl family ever
go into other little girls hairp And ma.
ma said she didn't know, but would write
to the Tribune, Jr. who knows so many
little children. And perhaps among them
may be some little girls with long curls
whose mammas may hnd just such mys
terious family has been making then
trouble as bothered little Daisy so long
before auntie found the hiding place of the

A New MAzEPPA Lamar boys are
nothing if not initiative. If they were to
hear of man being ground up in
threshing machine, they would at once
run one of their number through Il
tanning mill to "see how the old thing
worked"
One of the boys had been reading By
ron's Mazeppa, and he got three or four OF
the boys in barn down in the southwest
part of the town, and they concluded to
play Mazeppa From what we can learn
not having been provided with COM
plmentary-the play was rather more
startling than instructive.
They got COW and about forty feet Of
clo,hesline and u number seven boy with
red hair and freckled nose to do the
Mazeppa part, while a gentle youth of
twelve or thereabouts, wrapped saddle
blanket round his head. and, as the jealous
shiek, shouted
Bring forth the hoss." They then
fotched her. In truth she was a noble
sleed A heifer of the muly breed and
wild-wild rs seventeen kinds of Rocky
Mountain William II. goats. They got
her on the ground floor. and tied boy on
with a rope, and turned her loose. She
took in the situation. and seemed to realize
that her credt'as an actress WAS at stake.
Her acting was splendid, and brought
down the house-by sections. Whenever
she ran over one of the boys you could
hear the applause for four blocks.
Although the audience all had parquette
and pit tickets, they thought they could
look at the play better from the gallery
and so they slid up into the hay mo- and
tried TO crawl out through the roof, while
the old COW was churning about fourteen
years growth out of Mazeppa, and bawl'
ing like steam calliope, while Mazeppa
passed off the time yelling like pig stuck
in the fence.
The play would PROBABLY have been ia
progress yet, but for the fact that the
neighborhood thought that cyclone was
wrestling with the barn, and rushed in
and got the COW up in corner and am
puated the boy.
The show wound up with that thrilling
piece of music, "Sounds from Home,
which was we'll played by an improvised
band Of several parents. several boys and
several leather straps. The boys say that
the music made by the straps, was thrill
ing in the extreme. Burton County I'D

QUEENS OF THE CABTNET.-Mrs. Blaine
is fine-looking lady, tall. with good
features, and hair we'll sprinkled with
gray. She Is pleasant in her manners,
ready conversationalist. and shrewd. Her
long experience in public lite has made
her valuable acquisition to the admins.
tration, or at least to that part of it repre-
sented by her husband. She can keep II
secret and ward off the inquisitive. Mrs.
Blaine possesses those peculiar qualitica
tions which make wife great comfort
and aid to n public man. Mrs. Window
is fine, matronly lady, who has never
shown any disposition for society and its
frivolties. While she always dresses in
good taste, in either black silk or satin, or
some solid color, there is nothing dashing
to distinguish her in crowded reception
room. She appears to the best advantage
in the home circle. The oldest fish in
the cabinet basket is Samuel j. Kirkwood, f,
the secretary of the interior. He is plain
man, and has an agricultural appearance.
but the one who picks him up as fiat
will be mistaken. Little Is known of his
wife beyond the fact that she is an
estimable la'iy, who partakes in measure
the quiet manner of her husband, and has
limited circle Of acquaintances. Secre
tary Lincoln's wife was Mary Harlan,
daughter of Senator Harlan. woman
of exquisite loveliness. In her younger
DAYS the suitors for her hand were num-
bered by the score. Her presence in the
charmed circle of the cabinet will add to
its briliancy. The fact that Mrs. MacVeagh
is Simon Cameron's daughter has given
her reputation which has preceded her
here She is tail, graceful of figure, and
having spent years in society with her
father when he was in the zenith of his
political glory and power, comes well
prepared for the new honors which both
her husband and herself will receive.
Those who know her intimately say that
she possesses in marked degree many Of
the characteristics which distinguished
her father, and that these traits are more
largely developed than in any of her
relatives. Having been brought up in n
political atmosphere, she has acquired the
faculty of reading mon and women at II
glance; and am told that hers has been
the directing mind in many of the move
meDts made by her husband Mrs. Hunt
will be The belle of the cabinet beyond
doubt. She is beautiful blonde, agreea
BILE in manner and cultivated in taste.
Mrs. Hunt is one of the best educated
ladies in Washington, and withal a bril-
liant society woman. Her circle OF ac'
quaintances is large, and she entertans
with true southern liberality. Postmaster
James has lovely wife, who will be an
ornament to society here.-From Wash
