around and we present again our annual
claims to the public for continuance of the
generous and increasing patronage heretofore
extended to the HERALD.
The last year has been one fraught with deep
interest to Texas, and more particularly to the
northern portion Of the state. New lines OF
railroads have been projected and now under
construction, while the older companies have
been extending their msines and pushing
branches in every direction. Immigration has
been pouring in from nearly every state in the
union and the dcneslypopuated,oou OF Eu-
ropo. These.immigrants, 0s class, are far SUI
porlor In intelligence and enterprise to those
usually falling TO the lot of new countries. Az
a general thing they possess means sufficient to
erect comfortable dwellings, improve farms.
and In this way add TO our general prosperity

the HERALD has endeavored to keep pace with
he advancement Of the state, and the paper

Policemen's Hats, Past and Present.

When the late Napoleon III. was a
poor clerk living in London he was once
called upon to serve as a special police
man. The occasion was one on which
Royalty was to show itself in the streets
of the British metropolis, and all fash
ionable London was in a ferment of
preparation. The police arrangements
were perfection. Several hundred
specials were sworn in, including aquiet,
self-possessed young fellow, stoutly
built, and wearing a heavy mustache
and chin whiskers, who gave his name
as "Louis Napoleon, clerk" He
grasped his baton, pinned on his shield,
and took his place in keeping the line
open for the Royal cortege. Ten years
afterward he was Emperor of the French,
and, with his brilliant and accomplished
Empress, Eugenie, set the fashionable
styles for all Europe. He frequently
mentioned to friends the incident on
London Bridge, where he wore police
mans helmet and welded the truncheon
of the British "bobby." These helmets
were ugly, clumsy affairs compared with
the natty, stylish and well ventilated
felt helmet hats which Knox, the famous
halter, has just undertaken, under a
special contract, to supply to the entire
police force of New York. k.-Aew York

ed him. He clutched the little bag of
gold still remaining as though he would
save it for his funeral. He did more
He sealed up in an envelope a ten
pound note on the County Bank and
wrote outside it: ''To pay for my fune.
ral." This he carried about with him
wherever he went.
A year afterward, his gold gone, his
belongings sold stick by stick, Job
Scudder lay sick unto death in little
room in q side street. Hfs mind was
wandering. Now he was a millionaire;
now he was in the workhouse. At times
he would see ghostly form by his side
and would wave it back.
'1 shan't be buried by the parish,
woman !" he would shout-'1 shan't!
The moneys here-here," and then he
would clutch the pillow beneath which
lay the sealed envelope.
One afternoon the people of the
house came into his room and found
him dead. He had died utterly penni-
less, in debt even for the rent of his
miserable apartment.
Underneath the dead mans pillow
they found the sealed envelope. Out
side it was written. 'To pay for my
funeral"
They opened it and found a ten
pound note on the County Bank. The
bank had stopped payment that very
morning, and the note was worthless.

A Chinese Wedding.
after all.

People on the verge of matrimony,
and anxious to introduce some striking
novelty in the wedding ceremonies, may
possibly be aided by studying the ac-
count of a marriage recently celebrated
in San Francisco. Mr.. Lee You and
Miss All Chung, two memcers of the
Chinese aristocracy of that city, were
the high contracting parties. The pres
ents to the bride were from female
friends only, while those to the groom
were from male friends. On the Sec
ond day after the marriage the newly
made husband gave q banquet to over
500 invited guests. The dishes were
such as appeal to the Chinese palate,
and included swallows nests and pheas-
ant soup, stewed sharks fins with chop
ped chicken and ham, roast Chinese
goose with ginger and cucumbers,
stewed mushrooms with young shoots
of bamboo, ducks wrapped in dry or
ange peel and stewed, and tea ad libi-
tum. While the guests were RECALLING
themselves ON these and other dainties
a sudden pealiug of gongs and an ex-
plosion of thousands of frecrackers
announced that the bride was about to
visit the entertainment. She entered
the room holding fan before her face,
her bashfulness permitting her to re-
move it only in the case of favored
few to whom she rendered the comph-
ment of tea drinking. After passing
through the room she slowly retired
backward, still keeping her face con-
cealed from the gaze of the curious.
For three days the festivities of the
groom and his friends continued, afte~
which the bride took her turn at en-
tertaining her friends at her fathers
house. But here the groom wss not
allowed to appear until sent for by his
parents-in-law. Upon receiving notice
he came and carried away his bride to
his own home, and the wedding festivi-
ties were at an end.

Our Wheat Crop.

1t is well known to many parties in
the trade that heavy capitalists have
recently investigated the present situa-
tion in wheat and the prospects for the
next crop. The Tribune has taken some
pains to ascertain the conclusions at
which they have arrived, and feels it to
be duty to present those conclusions
of course without vouching for their
accuracy. They are, briefly, as follows
l. The winter wheat crop of the
whole United States will not aggregate
more than two thirds the yield of last
year.
2. The acreage now sown to spring
wheat is twenty per centum less than in
1880 the yield per acre promising to be
not greater this year than last.
B. Only about seven and a half mil
lion bushels of wheat remain in the
hands of millers and in elevators in the
country and not more than one third
of that quantity will reach our lake
ports, unless prices should advance SO
much as to induce millers to ship their
reserves instead of grinding the grain.
If these estimates be correct, the
situation resolves itself into this We
have enough wheat on hand to supply
our own needs up to next harvest, and
that harvest will supply all the wheat
wanted for bread and seed in the
United States during the next crop
year. But nothing morel Not bushel
for export The 10000, 900 bushels
of deficiency from last years yield is
barely equal to the quantity exported
in wheat and -four Anything exported
after this date will be unnecessarily
parted literally sharing of our
own loaf with people who want it as
badly as ourselves, or worse. Chicago
