 End of a Miserable Career. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-The body of woman with face and forehead bruised found in the North river early this morning was identified as Mrs. Mary Fisher, widow. In the days of her. married life she had been respecta- ble, hard working woman, but when her hus- band died and left her alone with three chil- sdren, she sought consolation in liquor. She became slave to drink and her home be- came miserable. Her two large boys turned their backs on her as so on as they were able to earn 8 living for themselves, and her daughter, young woman of twenty, recent ly left. From that day she never ceased drinking, and yesterday when the landlord went to serve her with writ of eiectment he found her rooms completely cleared of furni- ture. At o'clock this morning neighbors heard the woman after walking up and down all night go down stairs. She went to the river and was seen to plunge or fall head long into it. Her head struck submerged iron cable that cut and bruised her face. When the body came to the surface she was

The Lenten Season.

Next Wednesday is the first day of
Lent. Among the church people who OBJ
serve the season, the following rules are
adhered to:
1. All the faithful who have completed
their twenty-first year are, unless lawful
ly dispensed, bound to observe the fast of
Lent.
.. They are to make only one meal, ex-
ceptlng Sundays.
3. The meal allowed on fast day is not
to be taken until about noon.
4. At that meal, II on any day permis-
sion should be granted for eating flesh =,
flesh and fish are not to be used at the
same time even by way of seasoning. This
includes Sundays.
3. A small refreshment, commonly
called collation., is allowed in the eve
ming; no general rule as to the quantity
of the food permitted at this time is, or
can be made. But the practice of the
most regular Christian is, never to let it
exceed the fourth part of regular
meal.
@. The quality of food allowed at a
collation. is, in this diocese, bread, butter,
cheese, all kinds of fruits, salads, vege-
tables, fish, eggs and milk.
Z. Generl usage has made it lawful to
drink in the morning some warm liquid,
as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate made
Win wafer.
s. Necessity and custom have author
lied the use of lard instead of butter, in
preparing fish, vegetables, etc.
The following persons are exempted
from the obligations OF fasting: Young
persons under twenty-one years of age,
the sick and nursing women, those who
are obliged to do hard labor, and all
throuh weakness, who cannot fast with
out-great prejudice to their health.
Nv he 1c l.,
allowed at any meal on Sundays, and
once day on Mondays, Tuesdays
ana Saturdays, with the exception of
holy Thursday, and the second and last
Saturday of Lent.
IL. Persons dispensed from the obliga-
ton of fasting, on account of tender or
advanced age, sickness or hard labor,
are not bound by the restriction of using
meat at only one meal on days on which
its use is granted by dispensation. 1t
will be noticed that milk and eggs are
allowed at collation..

The bill of Senator

The bill of Senator LightiOOt, which
comes up In the Senate on Monday after
noon, Ia give to certain veterans Of the
Texas revolution 1850 acres of land, Of
the public domain, as u testimonial of
Iheir services in the dark hour of revolu-
ton, we trust will pass the House as IL
did the Senate. This Is not matter Of
mere sentiment. hut rises TO the true
dignity OF merited justice. Re
publies have ever been charged
with ingratitude. Let this not be said OF
Texas. Her history Is resplendent with
the lustre OF heroic deeds achieved by
patriots as devoted and illustrious rs are
found In the annals of time. We trust
therefore, this bill may become a law
and that the poor tribute too long delayed
will at last be paid them. The speech
of Senator Lightfoot was one of force
and eloquence, considered one of the very
best efforts of the session--as he is es-
teemed one of the ablest senators on the
floor.

HOUSTON, Feb. %, 1881.
/. was very much interested in the
sketch of the Virginia University,
given by Prof. Hogg in your issue
of Esd inst. If l understand his out
line of the governing bonds, he

dent or the chairman of the acade-
mic staff head of the same, and these,
while separate and distinct bodies,
to be at the same time so connected
that the chain of responsibility
shall be unbroken and complete.

ate, proposing first to elect a regent
of the college faculty, and then put
ing HIM ut the head of the visitors
and giving him virtually control

course, including instruction, man.
agement and gOvernment-smacks
too much of capitalization for our
age and for our great state. The
great universities of this country
de- not have this kind of organiza-
ton. Howard, the oldest, does not.
The Virginia University. does not
Princeton does not. The Georgia
University, the Alabama and the
Mississippi Universities have Chan
cellors of the Faculty. The two
last universities enumerated, the
Vanderbilt, and the John Hopkins
have separate heads for these separ-
ate trusts. Yale College is really
still college, holding on to her ira
ditional four-years curriculum, and
her President is the head of the fac
ulty, board of trustees, etc.
A few of the western UNIVERSE
ties, modelled after Yale, have
adopted the same organization.
Let Texas have an elastic organiza
ton for her University-while I do
not wish the University to be tram
meled by ecclesiastical or political
bias, yet do wish to see the spirit
and genius of our representative
government preserved in the gov
ernment and management of the
Texas University. / wish to see the
board of regents appointed by the
Governor for their special qualifica-
tons, as enlightened and scholarly
gentlemen. These to elect their own
head, and also the Faculty of In
struction, who shall In turn select
their head, annually-thas allowing
to develop the best exc
cutive ability of their body.
May the Senate biz, so be amend

wisest scope Tor individual action
and individual responsibility in all |
the departments of the University
all departments however, being d.
rectly amenable to the state through |
the proper channels and heads.

on the might OF the third of March. the

on the night of the third of March, the
merry little stars away up in the blue
depths of Heaven, will tremble with de-
lightful emotion as they silently swing
IN their tremendous orbits. and witness
one of the most rare and wonderful OF
Heavens panoramas. On that night the
fresh, vigorous new moon, beaming with
paternal love, will slyly approach as near
as possible, and take peep at the doings
of the three great planets, Jupiter Saturn
and. Venus. 1t is not often that the moon
deems 1t prudent TO approach all three
of the above planets, on the same
night and Mt the same time, and the
twinkling stars and Mother Earth and
her people will watch the scene with pro-
found interest. The display will COM
mence early IN the evening, and will
reach It's highest point of perfection
about 8 O'Clock, at which time the west
ern heavens will present brilliant and
marvellous array OF planetary loneliness,
such as seldom graces its ever-changing
scenes. Observers who desire to have
the full benefit of the wonderous and
magnificent display, should watch the
western heavens from the very moment
that the sun vanishes below the horizon.
III the evening Is clear, all should watch
the western sky and view the charming
scene as the silvery moon and brilliant
planets make their appearance and vie
with each other, creatinga most beauti-
ful and fascinating picture.
