The Usual Result.

It is to be denied that a good sewing machine is one of the most important appurtenances oI the modern household.
 We thought we had a good ma. chine in our hOus ehOld, until one day the agent of the New Home presented himself at our door and proceeded to deliver an oration upon its characteristic merits.
 " But" we answered, "our ma- chine serves Us nicely aud suits Us well, and we do not care for another"
 The agent, however, was persis- tent, and finally begged the privi- lege of leaving one of his machines with Us, Cor the ladies to try"
 The request was not unreasonable so we granted it-but more t. oblige the agent than anything else; for we really did not want the machine, and had not the re- motest idea of buying it..
 The machine once in the house, it was natural that the ladies should look ii over. They did, and consequently fell in love with il. They Say that without the slightest wish to decry or dIsparhge any other machine, this, all things considered, is, in their opinion, the most desirable one to be had.
 The upshot of the whole matter was that the old machine Was sold, and the |" Light Runniny New Home" installed in our household-a very satisfac tory arrangement heinz made with the agent.
 It is pronounced a genuine beauty and a real comfort, and |" our folks {" wanted us to tell other folks about it.
 This unrivalled machine is manufactured ny.

CAPITOL CONTRACT.
It signed seaIed and Delivered
at Last.

The capitol board, after a several days
session, finally adjourned yesterday, and
now the contract for the erection of the
new capitol has been ''signed, sealed and
delivered Ii was rumored that some
slight changes had been made, notwith-
standing the fact that it was given out
that Schnell e. Co. had agreed to
do the work according TO the
original specifications. In other
words, that they would accept
the 1, OO0, 900 acres of land and build the
capitol precisely as called for in the
specifications as published by the COM
missieners. A STATESMAN reporter en-
deavored yesterday to get peep behind
the scenes, with q view to discovering
what changes, If any, had been made.
From the best information he could
gather, the conclusion is reached
that some slight notifications have
been made. One If them is the striking
out from the specifications the obi
cation of the contractors TO use fur
in laihes on interior walls. This is re-
garded as an improvement, as it lessons
the damage from fire. Another is that
the payments shall be made oftener, in
order to more promptly meet the de-
mands of the contractors. The other
changes are slight and immaterial
1t is also agreed in the contract that
the legislature may, if it sees proper, dis
pense entirely with superintendent or
commissioners, or may add to the present
commissioners the board, one of whom
shall supervise the work. The board
will also appoint supervising architect
for the state.
The contract was finally signed, and

MARRIAGE BELLS.
wedding OF Mr. John w. wood to
Miss Abbie Foster.

Yesterday evening in the spacious par
lors Of the Menger hotel was celebrated
one of the greatest social events of the
season, which was as sudden as it was
unexpected. IL was the marriage of Miss
Abbie p. Foster, of Austin, to Mr.. John
w. Wood, of Washington, Missouri.
The ceremony was most gracefully per-
formed by Very Rev. Father Spillard, Of
Austin, assisted by the Very Rev. Canon
Johnston, OF this city.
We noticed among those from abroad,
Mr.. Hardemann Crews, of Gray's sum
nit, Missouri, and Mrs. Ella Durand, of
Galveston Col. James Il, Lucy, Of Aus
tin Mr.. Carr Lucy and Miss A. Foster,
youngest daughter of Judge Foster, and
several others from different parts of the
state. There were many citizens of this
city present, among whom we noticed
his honor, Mayor French and Postmaster
Manning.
The wedding party return to Austin
to-day, where reception will be given
them at the residence of the brides
father.
The bride, who is most beautiful
young lady, was elegantly dressed in
fine silk, and though somewhat nervous,
responded to Father Spillards questions
clearly and distinctly. Before commenc-
ing the ceremony, Rev. Father Spillard
gave short instruction regarding the
duties and responsibilities of married
life, saying that the promise made now
lasted till death, and was perhaps one of
the most important that could be made.
After the conclusion of the ceremony
and the congratulations of those present,
all descended to the dining hall, where a
delicious supper YVES served.
That Mr. and Mrs. Wood may ever be
happy, prosperous and enjoy all the good
things of this world, is the sincere wish
Of host of friends. San Antonio En-
press 10.
The bridal party reached the city yes
terday, and last evening were rendered
an elegant reception at the residence of
the brides father.

LAND LOCATIONS.


There seems to be great defect in the
law providing for the location of lands
in this state by railroad companies For
in stance, the railroads locate public
lands in blocks of fifteen sections, and
alternating sections go to the state. Now
il these locations be in conflict with
other surveys, it seems there is no way
in which to correct the matter. To illus
trate: The Panhandle railroad COM
pany locates 100 sections of land, and
hypothecates or mortgages these sections
in advance. Now when these surveys are
filed and compared i'm the general land
Office il is discovered that twenty of these
100 sections conflict with older surveys
The railroad company is asked to correct
the matter, but, having already mort
gagged these lands, TO correct would
leave the company with twenty sections
hypothetical that do not exist, and
hence IL declines to do so. The result
Is, there being no authority under pres.
ent law to correct or remedy the matter,
the entire 100 sections are tied up so
that the state cannot sell its alternate sec
tons of school lands, nor can any of the
lands thus located be placed upon the list
and rendered for taxes. This Is scri-
Gus defect in the law, and an attempt
will be made to have the next legislature
remedy t.

done much better in Oregon. COf-

CONFEDERATE BONDS.
LETTER FROM EX-SECRETARY
BENJAMIN.
Not n Penny of Confederate Assets
Can be FOundin Europe.

New YORK, Jan. 20.-The follow
ing letter was published here TO-
day:
TEMPLE HALL, LONDON, Nov. %.
Ny Dear Barlow:
have yours of the 18th inst, and
have no objection whatever to give
you all the information 1 possess on
the subject of Confederate bonds.
which some spectators on the
stock exchange have made the
subject of inquiry or rumor,
and sedulously spread abroad
that there are vast sums de-
posted i'll the Bank of England and
elsewhere in Europe. The Con-
federate government never had but
two means of raising money in
Europe. One was by The eX-
port of cotton, all of which
was consigned to the house of
Frazer, Trenholm & Co., of Liver
pool. The other was by a loan CT
fected through Messrs. Erlanger &
Co. and Shredder & Co., the pro-
ceeds of which were all received by
Colin j. Mccall, financial agent of
the government. At the close of
the war, the United States govern
ment, claiming the right TO receive
the entire assets of the Confederate
government, instituted suits against
Frazer, Trenholm 81 Co. and against
Mccall. After determined and pro-
tracted litigation, Frazer, Trenholm
u Co. were driven INTO bankruptcy,
as their whole business was de-
stroyed and their credit broken by
the apprehension created in the
mercantile world of the result of
enormous claims hanging over them,
when they really owed little or
nothing, and think the United
States ultimately recovered q few
thousand dollars as q compromise.
Mccall proved that in his case he
had rendered full and faithful ac-
count to the Confederate govern
ment of the entire proceeds of the
loan in payment for supplies and
munitions of war, of the various
commissary and quartermaster's
offices of this country, and of all
coupons or bonds, and stated
that he was willing to render his ac-
count again if the United States
would agree to reimburse him with
any balance that might be found
due in his favor. This was declined.
Tease as reported in law reports, s
L. e., 69l. Poor Mccall, in shat
tered health, and with a few hun
dred pounds, the wreck of his
fortunes, emigrated to Spanish
Honduras, where he sought to earn
support on a small stock farm but
died in extremely reduced circum-
stances. The last payment of the
coupons on the Confederate loan was
only effected after a great effort by
means of cotton sold through Fra
ger & Co., as all the proceeds of the
loan had long previously been ex-
hausted. The United States govern
ment also received some supplies,
machinery and several vessels, in
fact every thing that remained from
the wreck, and do not believe that
one penny can be found anywhere
in Europe ofthe assets of the defunct
Coniederacy. II anything can ever
be received by the bondholders it
can only be by government action
in the United States, and you can
Judge better than l can if there is
the remotest hope of any such ac-
ton. Yours fraternally,

ENGAGED.

I've sat at her feet by the hour
IN the properly worshipful way;
I've carried her many flower,
I've read TO her many day;
Social battles with friend and with lover
For her sake often have waged
And now from her lips discover
That she-oh, that she Is engaged
One season we led in the German,
And one we were partners at whist.
On Sunday we heard the same sermon,
The opera never once missed
We were generally winners at tennis,
Our skill a. the target was gagged,
But difference between now and then T.,
For now she-now she's engaged.
have carried parasol DER her,
When we strOlled in the deep-shaded grove
Whole minutes I've dallied before her,
Assisting 20 button her glove.
As she sprang to the saddle my fingers
Her wee feet moment have Gagged,
ANA the thrill IN my pulses still fingers,
Though now she--now she's engaged.
Does she ever live over, wonder,
The night that we sat in the cove,
One shawl wrapped about us, while thunder
And windstorns and hail ragged above
My shoulder, and how assuaged
Her fears by the story of Jason
Does she think of all that when engaged,
On my walls hang her many mementoes
That cathedral she sketched me in Rome
II was after my camp-lifc she sent those
Silk slippers to welcome me home;
have the letters she wrote me at college,
In book, all assorted and aged
now delightful to read with the knowledge
That now she-ycs, now she's engaged.
! am going to call there tomorrow,
In her JOY she will greet her old friend
without even the shadow of sorrow
That the friendship has come to an end
And close in my arms ! will fold her,
No matter for papa enraged
Shall his wrath from me longer withhold her,
When to me--'tis to me she's engaged.
