A bridegroom at Aurora, H., forgot to

to open the church, with the orgauist for
music, and sent out hundreds of cards. The

THE Post commenting upon the
fact that the people in the old states
and especially in the Northern
states, are poorly informed as to
Texas, says:
"Within twenty years Texas will
contain on her soil population
greater than New York and New
England combined, and will eXer-
else a potent authority in govern
ment and commerce. Now is the
time for taking advantage of this in
creasing commercial tide, and the
proper means to secure the desired
swell is to enlighten the men
who have the capital 10
invest and thee men who have
the muscle to labor, OH the point,
ana to induce their cooperation and
their immigration. The best way to
do this is for the merchants and
capitalists of the South 10 take a
leaf out of Mr.. Hennesy's
book, and to scatter broad
cast throughout the North, by their
business agents, copies of their local
papers, giving IuIOrluaIlOu Vi lnc
state in its varied aspects. Newspa-
pers, ii is well Known, are Tno pest
possibIa advertisers. and if our peo-
pie desire to secure the advent of
capital and population into the state,
let them exploit their newspapers.
A live newspaper is much more in
terestingIto a stranger desiring in
formation than even an eloqent lee
turer, and will easily discount "a
bushel of immigration papers. They
present the real life ofthe sections IN
which they are published, in all its
naturalness and enforced features of
business, pleasure and opinion. If
the business men of Galveston, Hous-
ton, San Antonio, Dallas, Waco and
Austin, would take pains to have
their employees circulate through
the North, where they would do the
most good, copies of such papers as
the Post, Neics, Express, Herald,
Telephone and STATESMAN, they
would soon find that their best in
terests would be.subserved by inqui-
ries, business propositions, immi-
grafton and investment of capital.

THE cost to the Galveston Netcs
in maintaining lis representative in

therefore itprays for the body to ad.

Post and the Dallas Herald and other
papers are reaching point where
the bare contemplation of coming in
contact with them gives the New.

JAY GoULD,s WESTERNS TRIP.
The New Y.ork .g,a OF the lst )

The New York Sun of the Isl in
slant says:
Mr.. Jay Gould started on a trip
/ through the Southwest Saturday
evening on the O'Clock train over
the New York Central Il Hudson
railroad. He was accompanied by
a party OF railroad men. The only
, one whose presence was sufficient
/ was Gen. Thomas It. Eckert, vice
/ president and general manager of
| the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. He is also co-director with
Mr.. Gould in several of the princi-
pal Southwestern roads. President
Sam Sloan of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna a Western railroad, who is
director of the International q
Great Northern, and represents q
large interest in that road, Was also
one of the party. No attempt is
made TO conceal the fact that the OBJ
iect OF Mr.. GOuld's journey is to
give his personal attention to mat
tiers relating to the Consolidation and
extension Ofthe Southwestern roads.
They are the Iron Mountain,
tie Missouri Pacific, the Mis-
souri,, Kansas a. Texas, the
Texas IL Pacific, and the Interna-
tional & Great Northern. For many
weeks past plans have been discuss
ed and negotiations held relative to
the union of these roads either into
Zone or TWO systems. The plan that
has been under consideration most
recently, cOntemplates the CONSOLE
dation of the Missouri, Kansas Il
Texas. the Texas & Pacific, and the
International & Great Northern.
IFS contamination has been delayed
by the failure of the Kansas & Texas
and the International roads to come
to terms. The latter has insisted that
one share of its stock was worth two
of the former. while the representa-
tives of the Kansas Il Texas have
insisted that one and half shares
of their stock fairly represent
ed the value of one share
of the international. a compromise
was offered in the shape of one
and three-quarter shares of Kansas
q Texas to one of International.
1t is understood that the latter part
of last week the representatives of
these roads got their views closer to-
gether. MIR. Gould is able to dictate
the policy Of the three other roads.
1t is asserted, however. that Mr..
Gould's journey has more to do
with extensions than with CONSOLE
dations. The latter can be effected
in this city. while the former require
personal examination of routes pro-
posed His first objective point is
st. Louis. where the annual meeting
of the Missouri Pacific will take
place to-day. 1t is reported in this
city that important steps toward Il
union of that road with the Mis-
souri,. Kansas & Texas will be la
ken at the meeting. Mr.. Gould ex-
peclcd TO be gone about three
weeks, but may return sooner or re-
main away longer"

TIE committee ia charge of the
Inauguration ceremonies at WASH
ington refused to allow an ex-cen-
federate general to take command
of military division in the military
parade of Inauguration day. Gen.
sherman had offered such a position
to Gen. Field, and he and Southern
militia stood ready to do all honor
to the day and the occasion, but the
Republican committee refused, and
Gen. Sherman was greatly mortified.
A few days before this some North
ern military organizations were in
attendance at the carnival in New
Orleans, and the position of honor
was given to the seyenty-first New
York regiment. Comparisons arc
odious, for, as inthese two instances
they..show who it is, that is deter
mined to keep up this sectional strife,
and yet the North condemns the
South forsecession for lighting an I'M
relenting political enemy, in whom
there was no federation before the
trial at arms was made, and who,
when il had been made and is now
settled-forever settled-there is
neither generosity nor justice. But

yond these miserably offensive acts,
