Tho Timber Snnnly

The timber supply of the country is fal
from exhausted, and the census shows how
much marketable timber there was left on
May l, 1850. Even in the three northern
states of New England something is left
and something new is growing. Accord.
ing, to the Forestry Bulletin, numbers. Il
and 10. just issued Maine has 5000 million
feet Of spruce, board measure, while Yer.
mont had 755 million feet and New
Hampshire 1910 million feet, making
Tor the three states a total of 7,265 mii
hon feet, while the cut for the wear ended
May 81, 1880, amounted to 653, Isl coo feet
or the original white pine, Maine has but
a.o,OO0 600 feet lett. while Vermont and
New Hampshire are denuded, and all three
states try to depend on second growth.
But all these states have denuded large Dor.
tons entirely and devote them to agricul.
ture, and only Maine has any virgin forest
"a small district at the headwaters of the
Ailequash river. Yet even to-day The
northern half of New England might give
Joy to the forester. The forest resources OF
the south and extreme west have hardly
been touched, and those of the south are
practically inexhaustible.- Boston Adyer-

The Ladies' Musicale

Tho last OF the seasons series of the La.
dies Musicale entertainments was given
last evening at the residence of the Misses
Wolf, members, complimentary to Mrs.
Moses, their relative and guest from New
Orleans. A goodly number were in atten.
dance, and ali enjoyed the exquisite treat,
made all the more pleasant by the
gracious and cordial reception on the
part of tho fair hostesses. The
programme was admirable in selection and
rendition throughout. At its close re-
freshments were in order, and then dance.
That this association has afforded the
highest enjoyment to its members and in.
vited guests, goes without saying, 1t has
done more, however. II has produced a
mraked and steady growth of musical in
structon, vocal aud instrumental, to par
ticipant and guest, and inspired
each performer with an ambition to
keep abreast with all the musical influences
literature and progress of the day,
and begotten an industry and cultivated
abilities in. the recitation line that would
not otherwise have had existence. II has
also been the means OF establishing and CO.
menting friendships through fratornal gath
eriugs at the entertainments, and at agreea-
bic reunions for the practicings with con
genial and sympathetic associates. Ii has
impressed strangers and visi-
tors to our city with higher
ideas of our homo talent
aud our social attainments, and enabled
them to pass many delightful evening In
some of our most elegant homes, and SO
form valuable acquaintance for the DAYS
to come. These were some of the benefits
secured during the season now past II Is
sincerely TO be hoped that the Association
Will for the coming one be increased In
numbers, efficiency aud enjoyment.

of the fair sex and gallant young beaux

DIFFERENCES IN CITIES.

Among the topics of interest discussed b,
the delegates to the late Galveston conven
tion, is that Of what may in commonpar.
lance be termed the "citihed" appearance,
OF the Island City. 1t has indeed become .
common remark of those who have tray
elei over our state that there is real,
but one city in the state and tia
is Galveston. Now the facts are
notwithstanding the imperfect and alb
surd census reports as to the two
points, that Dallas is nearly the equal O
Galveston in population and fully up to OF
ahead OF all towns in the state in push and
business activity. 1t is universally re-
marked that Dallas is the livest, most pro
gressive, and most desirable town in the
southwest, and is indeed perhaps the best
advertised point in the state. Our whole.
sale trade is branching out over the entire
section and our population and business
are increasing wonderfully, but yet it is
said that Galveston "is the only city in the
state" 1t is a pertinent question,
therefore, as to what constitutes this
distinction in behalf of our gulf port.
Upon inquiry and in conversation as be.
fore stated with our returned delegates, the
whole matter is plain. In Galveston, from
one end to another, ON all the principal
streets indeed, is to be seen solid, splen-
did paving, in some instances fifteen feet
wide and hence the metropolitan charac-
ter and appearance Of the town. This is in
nut shell the difference between the two
cities. With all our people, our vim.
our business and our undoubted fu-
ture, we have physically the up.
pearance OF a country town-squalid
dirty and ragged. Galveston, on the other
hand, is magniicently built, but above
all, spendidly paved and neatly kept, an d
the consequence is that the idea strikes the
sojourner within its, gates Immediately
that it is a city larger by far and more
progressive than any other town in the
state. We may learn useful lesson from
this fact. AS with the man so with the
city, half the prestige and impression con.
sists in the dress. We are uniformly and
universally Judged by appearances
and our reputation is made up largely
OF the show we make. We have been
persistently advocating the improvement
OF our city for months. 1t is strange that
our city fathers are so backward in seeing
and appreciating these facts. But give
Dallas good streets and sidewalks, the out
ward appearance of city to which she is
entitled, and she is Just as able
to have them as Galveston, and
it will be but very short
time until she will forge ahead of all rivals
and become,in reputation as she is in re-
atty, the city of Texas, the gateway
aud distributing point of the whole south
west, Again let us express the hope that
our municipal authorities will appreciate
what lies before us, and begin preparing
therefor. 1t is a shame that we are so far
behind other towns and the times generally,
when so much in both obtaining retaining
or repelling wealth and population depends
upon the physical comforts and appearance
of the place.

CONGRESSMEN's SALARIES

| 1t must BIO admitted that half or owe,
half the various propositions brought for.
ward for the reduction of official salaries
are dictated by spirit of demagoguery
merely and amount to nothing, but many
OF them are in good faith and entitled TO
consideration. In many instances the sal.
aries paid to members of the bench and
the judiciary departments generally are
wholly inadequate to secure the best talent.
but when high position is the prize
the salary to able and ambitious
men is but secondary consideration. The
Federal appointees and officials and mem.
bers OF congress can certainly not complain
OF poor pay, and manage, the whole of
them, to live like princes but.whenever a
bill to "curtail" is introduced into the
national congress, that is the end of the
bill. 1t st ops with its introduction. An.
other attempt Of this kind was made by n
new member this session and the virtuous
Horn, of Michigan, whose labors for
some months have consisted exclusively
OF - unseating democratic members upon
strict partisan methods and principles re-
ported thereon the other day. Among
other indignant EXPLANATIONS he said:
when you take into account the labor Mt
present required of member of congress.
can you conceive how any man in his nor
NAL condition, in full possession of all his
faculties, could for Il moment suppose that
the salaries Of these officials as now fixed
by law are excessive" AS the question il
again up it may DO interesting to take n
glance at the relation and proportion which
exist between the congressman's work
and his pay, A spicy exchange
close around the capitol has this
to say In tho premises; members of con-
gress average about five months work in
the year. They are really paid at the rate
of thousand dollars month. Their trans.
portation to and from Washington is liberal
ly provided for, They receive Sl25 each n
year for newspapers and stationery. They
vote themselves valuable books, and some
times sell them. The vote themselves bou.
quets, plants, seeds, and other things free.
ly, They are shaved, they are bathcd and
perfumed (much to the comfort of some
Of their noighbors), and their boots arc
blacked at the public expense. Many of
them practicelaw and pursue their vocations
while In congress. Some ofthom represent
great corporations, monopolies and special
interests, receiving large retainers and con.
tineent fees. They take turns to be absent,
aud 1t has become difficult to preserve
quorum undor the system OF pairing oil,
which leaves constituencies, and often
states, without votes, The pay of con.
gresham was originally s. u day. Then
1t was raised to $1,000 year, and finally
1t was put Mt $1,000. Distinguished sena.
tors and representatives have become mil.
lionaires without engaging In any other
pursuit than politics. II does not seem
that our brilliant and vIrtuous LEGISLATORS
are so ovcrworked and lily paid after all,
and IL any necessity anywhere exists for
cutting down official salaries congress
should DO tho FIRST point struck.

ENGLISH papers are remarking that
America is turning its attention towards
the military establishments of Europe for
the purpose of improving its own, and that
forty cadets from West Point are to be sent
to Germany to study the handling of the
Imperial army. AS suggested by one of
the foreign journals, it is not likely that
the land where the people are the army can
teach much, save what is misleading to u
