BI-METALLIC DISASTER.

The enlightened scheme of the late
Secretary Evarts to overcome the law
of nature by an International treaty
fixing the double mint standard of gold
and silver-the congressional laws, like
the pope's bull against the comet, hav-
ing failed to accomplish it-has also
totally collapsed. England, Germany,
France, Italy, and other powers, have
refused to abolish the laws of trade in
this case. SO that the double standard
dollar doctrine will come back home.
No doubt congress will take a hand
again, having been engaged in the
game for nearly a century, and the
rival dollars will continue to play bo-
peep in the interest of the money
shaver, and to the annoyance and loss
of honest industrious people, till little
common sense can be got on this side
of the Atlantic.

The Poultry Ordinance.

On Monday August Schwartz, poultry
dealer, was charged in the recorders court
for purchasing poultry for the purpose of re-
sale, before the hour. of 9 a. m, and was
fined FIVE dollars for the offense. This morn
ing Mr.. Mason, in behalf of the defendant,
made a motion for new trial on two
grounds. list. That the evidence failed
to show that the ordinance was
violated, and second, that there was nc ordi-
nance within the knowledge of the defendant
prohibiting the purchase he had made.
The recorder overruled the motion, and it is
said the defendant intends to appeal.

TOM OCHILTREE AS A FLOWER GIRL

1t seems that the Galveston commit
tee who visited Washington left no
stone unturned to secure their point,
they even pressed the red ranger of the
Rio Grande into service as flower.
girl, who in the most aesthetic manner
presented President Arthur with a
bouquet-as the following from the
Galveston News, will explain:
A CORRECTION.
Washington, February 20, 1881
beg to correct your statement, which.
of course, know was unintentional,
that the president had indited me
note of thanks for floral gift sent him
from a banquet given by myself to the
Texas congressional delegation. 1t
was IN response, rather, to an enter
talnment extended the delegation by
the Galveston Harbor committee, whom
| had the pleasure of presenting that
day to his excellency, and of whom he
spoke afterwards in the most friendly
manner. l have forwarded the note to
those addressed Through me) and
hope, ere this, it has arrived in Calves
ton; and | here take occasion to say
that the mission of these gentlemen
was performed with diligence, ability
and tact that commended the great
enterprise they represented to the most
favorable consideration of the powers
that be, and will be productive of the
most successful results.

Fred Bader, in respect to distraint made by

Alderman Schreiner's proposition to de-
vote $4,000 to improvement Of the public
squares is sensible and good one.
Mrs. T. H. Sanchez died last evening at
her residence on Salinas street from dropsy of
the heart. The remains will be inferred this
afternoon.
What is that $I9,eI9.oS cash to the credit
of the Bexar county subsidy bonds, lying idle
in the state treasury? 1t should be invested
and producing interest.
The rain is unpleasant to us. but in the
opinion of persons who should know, it is
worth many of thousands of dollars to the
state, so we will not grumble.
The statement appearing in the other
local papers as to the value of Erastus Reeds
estate, conveys a wrong impression. The
estate was valued at $40 900 in 1873, but since
that time the business has increased and SO
has the value of Erastus Reeds.
Tom Piggott, of Bracket, is going to
bring action for damages against those who
closed him out. He claims that within twenty
days of the date of his failure he could have
collected $50, ooo'due him, and have made all
square.

The consumption of beer in the United
States for the fiscal year ending May 1, 1881,
according to the Chicago Western Brewer,
was I4,I25,466 bbls. During the eight sue
ceeding months there was an increase over
the corresponding time in 1880 of I.777,7S7
bbls, and the total for the calendar year 1881
was IS, S8s,749 bbls. This indicates that for
the current year ending May 1, 1882, the con-
sumption will amount to about 1900, 900
bills, or at the average rate of about one-third
of a barrel for each inhabitant of the country,

When contractors are repairing or making

When contractors are repairing or making
new pavements, by which reason the public
are forced on to the road, it would be courteous
and proper, especially in wet weather, for
them to place a plank for them to
walk on so as to escape the mud.
We saw children wade through the
mud on Houston street from this cause, which
could have been avoided if this plan we've
adopted.

The Evil of Extreme Speculation.

The New York Shipping List has the fol-
lowing remarks upon the evils of speculation
in the staple products of the country:
The rapid growth of speculation in the sta
pie products of the country is causing much
apprehension in the minds of tn -ughtful and
conservative business men. 1t has already
inflicted serious blow on the foreign trade,
and if it be not checked it is apprehended that
it will eventually interfere, to an alarming ex-
tent, with the productive industries Of the
Country. But, as business is now conducted.
it is not easy to find remedy. Speculation
and legitimate business, at some points. run
into one another in fine and imperceptible
shades, and it is often difficult to know on
which side of the line transaction properly
belongs. If the mercantile community had a
Just conception of the results of a course of
procedure which always leads to disaster, the
quicksands would be avoided. No intelligent
man should be ignorant Of the causes of the
numerous business disasters which periodically
desolate the world of commerce, but it is GER
tain that thousands act as if they were. The
produce exchange, since the adoption of sys-
tenn of ''calls," has become more of gam
bling establishment than the stock exchange.
many operators having within the last year or
two gone from the latter to the former to gam
BILE in grain and provisions because that bust.
ness has offered greater inducements than spec
ulation in stocks.
Mr.. Romero, special envoy OF the Mexican
government, has arranged for conference
with the secretary of state, on Thursday and
Friday next, with a view to entering into ne
gotiations for reciprocity treaty between the
United States and Mexico. 1t is understood
that Romero, within the limits of certain in
structions, has full discretionary power to act
for his government For the present, how
ever, he declines to give the public more than
general character of his mission in relation
to the demand of the northern states of Mexi-
co for an extension Of the ''zona lbre," from
the gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Romero
said the ''zona hbre" is an anomalous condi-
lion of things, and an outgrowth of the revolu-
ton.

Starting Out,

In setting up a home for two, be sat
isfied to commence on small scale. II
is too common for young housekeepers
to begin where their mothers ended.
Buy all that is necessary to work skill
fully with; adorn your home with all
that will render it comfortable. Do not
look ut richer homes and covet their
costly furniture. If secret dissatisfac-
ton is to spring up, 60 step farther,
visit the homes of the suffering poor;
contrast your own neatly furnished
rooms with their cherries apartments.
You will then be prepared to meet your
husband with grateful heart, and be
ready to appreciate the toll and self-de-
NAL which he has endured in the bust.
ness world to surround you with the de-
lights of home, and you will cooperate
cheerfully with him in so arranging ex-
penses that his mind will not be con-
stantly harrassed lest his family expend-
itures may encroach upon public pay
ments. Be independent; housekeeper
never needed greater moral courage
than she does now to resist the arro-
gance of fashion. Do not let the AS
and BIS decide what you shall have,
neither let them hold the strings of your
purse. You know best what you can
and ought to afford. 1t matters little
what people think, provided you are
true to yourself, to right and duty, and
keep your expenses within your means.
Then you may DO both independent and
happy.

Naming a Lake

Years ago, it was discovered that q
certain lake which had long been con-
sidered the head of the Mississippi, had
no claim to that honor. The explorers
found new and smaller lake from
which the great river took its rise. A
discussion arose as to what name would
be appropriate for it. The story is that
it was decided in this way:
Lets make new name by coming
a word" said an old voyageur. "Some
of you larned ones tell me what is the
Latin for true.
"VeritaS," answered scholar.
''Well, now, what is the Latin for
headF'
"Cdput." .
"Now write the two words together
by syllables.
The scholar wrote on a strip of birch
bark, "rer-i-tas-ca-put."
''Read it out"
The five syllables were read.
'Now drop the first and last syllables,
and you'll have good name for this
lake" And 'Itasca' it was.
