past the quotations in the HERALD have
been merely nominal, but the decline in

we have to succumb to the inevitable, and

business portions of this rapidly growing
city. The residents there, however, COM
plain bitterly of the want of action on the
part of the city council to provide them
with good sidewalks, to say nothing of the
streets. Outside of Main and Elm streets,
there is not sidewalk east of the railroad,
and those on the streets mentioned are laid
only in part, and do not add much to the
convenience or comfort of persons who have
to traverse them daily in good and bad
weather. They assert that they bear their
proportion of the city expenses, and are
entirely neglected in the way Of improve
ments by the city government. The
population in that part of Dallas is becom.
ing so great that they will soon feel and as.
sert their power, and claim their rights to
recognition in the disbursement of the
funds of the city. They are certainly en-
titled to an equitable share in the eSpendi
ture of the public finances for general i'm
provements, and the few and modest de
mands they have made should have beer
cheerfuly acceded to. With good side
walks and some little attention and money
expended on the streets, East Dallas would
probably increase in population more rap
idly than any other portion of our whole
city.

Bridging the British Channel.

A scheme to connect England and
France by a tunnel has come to an
end, at least for the present. The
most distinguished people in England,
including the poet Tennyson, were
apprehensive that in war times the
tunnel might be used to invade Eng
land. The stormy seas which now
protect that tight little island, would
no longer he the terror of Il Continent.
al army. so now II new project has
been started, which is to build Il
bridge from FOlkestOne to Cape
Guernsey. 1t is to he twenty-three
miles long. The arches will rest
sometimes on solid masonry and
sometimes Oh piles of loose stones,
and then again on artificial islands to
he constructed in the Channel. Some
spans are arches. others open to the
sky, and again others of solid mason.
ry. The author of this splendid
scheme is a Frenchman, M. Verard
de Saite Anne. He has picture on
exhibition of this wonderful bridge
with the fleets of all nations sailing
under its superb arches. In case of
war, us he points out, the destruction
of one arch will save England from
invasion. The inventor further
points out that the English ships OF
war could knock an express train
filled with troops all too pieces even
if the bridge was undisturbed. This
is magnificent scheme on paper. but
it is not ut all likely that the child is
born who will pass overa bridge from
the French to the English coast

Grange Discussions.

For the last four years | have been
much among the Oranges, and no sub
ject of practical Importance has been
so fully and sd often discussed us the
subject of butter making, and it has
been clearly seen that Il feeling of
emulation was being developed,
which could but produce good results.
No woman likes to be Outdone by
her neighbor, and when one sister
tells of getting thirty-tive Or forty
cents for butter, the other sister, who
is selling for twenty, gets Il bee in
her bonnet at once. When one farm
er tells of getting four hundred
pounds from his COW, his neighbor,
who is getting but ono hundred and
fifty, sees Il big hole in the skinner
that he never knew OF before, and
forthwith he begins to investigate
the cOttonseed and Indian meal ques.

the cracks in the tie up, and get Il
load of saw dust for bedding ] know
of nothing that will more strongly
influence ambitious men or women
than this feeling of emulation, and
nowhere can practical questions be

Concerning the Goldfish.

This tropical bird very seldom
wings his way SO lar west as WyOm-
ing. lie loves the sea breeZes and
the humid atmosphere of the Allan
tic ocean, and when isolate in this
mountain cline pines for his native
home.
The Goldfish cannot sing, but is
priced for his beautiful plumage and
seductive odOr.
The Goldfish has "a great wealth of
glad, unfettered smile. When he
laughs at anything he has that same
wide waste of mirth and back teeth
that Talmage has. The Wyoming
Goldfish is dead. Death in most eases
is the result of exposure and loss of
appetite. No one can look ut the
Goldfish of commerce and not shed IL
tear. Far from home, with his sys-
tenn filled with salt, while his internal
economy is gone, there is an air of
sadness and inconsistencies and briny
hopelessness about him that no one
can see unm0Ved.
1t is in our home-life, however,
that the Goldfish makes himself felt
and remembered. When he enters
our household we feel his all-prevad-
ing presence, like the perfume of
wOod-viOletS or the seductive Odor of
IL dead mouse in the piano.
Friends may visit us and go away
to he forgotten with the advent of Il
new face, but the cold, calm, silent
corpse of the Goldfish cannot be forgot

ment and makes its home in onr

Definitions.

1t is curious, the love some people
have of definitions. They are the de-
light of persons whOthink, but whose
thinking has not gone great way.
1t is not hard to understand why de-
linationS are in such favor. 70 be-
gin with, they save good deal of
trouble: it is pleasant to know that
we have the result of much patient
thought and careful investigation put
up for our use in Il neat, compact
little bundle, easy portably without
fatigue. Definitions are compress.
sions of large truth into small COM
pass, and it is plain that they may he
very useful things; but the difficulty
with them is that they are not al
ways trustworthy, and it is just this
essential point about them which the
is incompetent to de-
eide. He wants Il sure rule of judg-
ment i'm certain matter, because he
himself does not understand it well
enough to do without Il definition, or
to make one for himself. Oddly
enough, he is often ignorant of what
Il definition is; he needs, first of all,
to have the meaning of that word de-
fined for him. Jun IUdRttc.

That, Was II.

The practice of giving short weights
is common in all trades. How De-
troit merchant desired to make amends
is set forth in the following neat bit of
humor from the Detroit Free Press:

dayr'
"Yes-ah-I know, meant to have
sent it up but forgot it. You shall have
it. right away"
"Sir! the butter came up on time"
"Oh-ah-it did, ELI! Well, Pm sorry
il was poor, but we shall have some bet
ter in day or two"
''Sir! the butter came up on time and
was all right. best I've seen i'm year"
you don't say SO! Certainly-just so
-rll make up the weight on the next
lot"
"Sir! the butter was good. the weight
correct, and called to order six pounds
more"

Then that was it? Well, well, but acct
dents will happen in the best regulated

Employment for Ladies'.

The Queen City Suspender Company,
of Cincinnati are now manufacturing and
introducing their new Stocking Support
crs for Ladies' and children, and their
uncqualed Skirt Suspenders for ladies.
None should be without them; our lead
ing physicians recommend them, and
are loud in their praise. These
goods are manufactured by ladies who
have made the wants of ladies and
children study, and they ask us to
refer them to some reliable energetic
lady to introduce them in this county,
and we certainly think that an earnest
solicitation in every household would
meet with a ready response, and that n
determined woman could make hand
some salary and have the exclusive
agency for this county. We advise
