The London correspondent of the Hartford
Times, describing a visit to Windsor Castle,
writes Down in the news we were shown
the horse that the Prince Consort used to
ride. 1t is now very old and stands with
dropping head, which it only raises gratefully
to the touch of q caressing hand. 1t is treat
ed very tenderly and will be till the last
moments; and although the groom didn't
say so, it wouldn't be surprising if the Queen
should visit it and fondle it's old head. There
is any number of fine saddle horses, and
dear little white pony ridden by the children
of the Prince of Wales. 1t is called Fairy"
and takes a surreptitiously administered
sugar plum very neatly.

Corn Popped by the SUMS Heat.
TErfo.1Io Ia \ Rrllafiu I

We all have an idea that the weather was
pretty hot last Summer, but we have from
Elbert Phipps, of Randolph county, Georgia,
an ear of pop corn that satisfies US that the
weather was just little warmer than we
thought it was Nearly every grain ON this
ear of corn was popped open under the in
tense heat of the sun, just as if the ear had
been laid on hearth close to hot fire. In
popping open some of the grains flew off the
cob but not many, and those that stuck are
nearly wide open.

If you have but single Bartlett pear the
proper thing to do is to cut off the big end
and give it to your friend, keeping the stem
end yourself This looks like generous act
and your friend will appreciate your disin-
terested kindness. and besides, the small end
of the Bartlett contains all the lusciousness
of the pear, while the big end is dry and
punpkiny. How true it is that a good act
never goes unrewarded!

What is it that our reporter can say about
the condition of our streets that the average
pedestrian, to say nothing of those who
drive, will not endorse? 1t is not his pur-
pose to be extreme, to say anything that
facts will not corroborate and bear out
fully, The streets are bad, they are hsrr-
bic, they are disgrace to Dallas, would
be disgrace and make any man say shame,
IN any city of the size and pretensisns of
Dallas on the face of the globe. The City
Engineer is not to blame, Tor he does all he
can. working faithfully, intelligently, with
the miserable force at his command and
help given by the city authorities and he can
do no more than he does. Who is to blame,
then? 1t is not the province of our repor-
ter to say. He only knows that in Dallas,
as Ia every other city, the keeping and care
OF streets and sidewalks is in the hands of
the City Council. If the Council be penny
wise and pound foolish, tine Council must
answer to the people. There are economi-
cal men, and economical men, and the rule
invariably is that the most economical are
always the most expensive in the end
with such lack of interest in public i'm
proyements, growing city like Dallas can
not expect to do otherwise than to retard
This is what our reporter hears said ON the
sidewalks as he passes along and as faith
ful chronicler he writes down the things
that men do say, such sayings going Tor
what they are worth.
Asa matter of fact he simply refers the
readers Of the HERALD to Main street. From
Trinity River to the end thereof is it not a
loblolly, mre and nuisance generally?
Is + IN street whit better A sensible OBJ
serving man will say it is worse. How
about the cross streets? Words fail to con
yey an idea Of the condition of the side
streets The fact is Dallas is a muck and
mire, and the attention Of the City Council
is respectfully called to the fact.

THE occurrences of the past few years are
beginning to teach the people the necessity
for greater care in the construction and in
spection of all buildings. So sad have been
the results from want of attention in this
particular, that the subject is one OF I'M
usual importance. The following item
from New YORK exchange may be sug-
gestive Of some practicalreform in this mat
ter in other quarters: 'The number of
buildings upon Manhattan Island, accord
ing to Inspector Esterbrooke, is So 900, and
2,4O0 new ones are in process of erection.
That is, there is one building for every
dozen Of our population. The Inspector
declares that he is unable, with his present
force of assistants, to properly inspect the
condition of such vast number of struc-
lures. Let his declaration have the careful
attention of his superior officers, and if nee
essary, let the number of his assistants be
increased. 1t requires much care to see
that the 2,lO0 buildings now going up are
properly constructed, and great many OF
the old structures Of the city need overhaul
ing by the Building Department"

hers, was called before Judge Aldredge on
motion for release on bond on habeas
corpus proceedings. The defense was
not ready for the case to pro-
coed and asked that it be postponed
until the opposing counsel and the Court
should be prepared. The defense gave as a
reason that they had not been able to fully
prepare, and that it would take at least a
week longer to get material witnesses here;
that they were doing all in their power to
get ready, but certain matters were slow OF
development. The case was post
