Asking Too Much.
rWacn EYaminar1

Governor Roberts didn't want a
denomination, and it is given out
with authority that he doesn't want
the law chair in the university. The
old man "mOves in a mysterious way,
his wonders to perform" If he puts
in crop next spring and prepares
to go afield with the plOw perhaps
the people will believe he is ready TO
retire from public life.

Don't Like Them.

George Washington Jones, the
self nominated candidate for govern.
or, does not like the Democratic
newspapers of Texas now, and he
will like them less before he gets
through with his self imposed can
sympathy and affiliation, we sup
pose, by applying to Leaders Austin
Dispatch, Jim Newcomb's San An
tonic Light and Dick Nelson's Gal
weston Spectator. Neither of item
is likely to condemn him for voting
white Democrats out of congress
and black radicals into congress.

proceeded on through to the dining
room where his wife was in waiting
for him Everything was quiet and
not the least suspicion dawned upon
him.
When he had removed his hat his
wife told him that some one was in the
parlor aud wanted to see him. When
he opened the parlor doors he was ut.
terly dumbfounded to find his house be
sieged with about thirty-five or forty of
his relatives and friends who were
aware of his birthday and took this
mode of surprising him.
After the usual congratulations the
company repaired to the dining room
where bounteous repast of ice cream,
cakes, fruit, etc., had been prepared
for them. During the evening Mr..
Pierce was the recipient of number
of useful and valuable presents, among
which was a handsome gold watch
chain. The presentation speech was
made by Prof. Cook, of Rugby, and re-
sponded to by Mr.. Pierce himself. The
evening was pleasantly spent by all
present. Among the jovial ones pres
ent was James H. Prentiss, who was
the life of the party.
