MARRIAGE AID,

The Texis marriage aid association of

They also wish to improve on the present

can mislead themselves into thinking that
such scenes can have permanent success
If there were but few of them and thew

could understand the idea that success
might be obtained. But without these
elements of strength, relying solely upon

Mexfco,s Needs.

had the exceeding good fortune
while on the train to meet most
polite and well-informed Mexican
gentleman, Jose M. Ortiz, of Alamos.
Sonora. We had long converse
ton about Old Mexico's prospects.
He told me Mexico was waking up
to the needs of latter day civiliza-
ton. 1t had no lacks up to last
February, when the Mexican gov
eminent gave concession to French
bankers with capital OF $40, 000, 900.
The government gave them the priv:
ilege of issuing bills to the amount
of $60,000,000, and promised
to give the bank the bust
ness of the government offices. In
return for the concession the bank
gives the government a credit of
$lC,0OO,000.
Senior Ortiz said that there was
now no further fear of revolution, as
with this large credit the govern
ment could at once find means to put
down an uprising. In the past the
difficulty had been that the govern
ment had nothing in the treasury
with which to equip and pay an
army. The republic is now safely
founded and will be preserved,
as the public like it and
want it perpetuated. Senior Or
tiz says that he and his broth
ers have also recently founded a
bank in Sonora, with capital of
100000, one-fifth of which is held
by Boston parties.
He says that Mexico is very quiet.
1t still feels the effect of the last
revolution, but within two or three
years a great change is expected.
The new system of railroads con-
Meeting the United States and
Mexico will be finished within
eighteen months, and they will IN
doubtedly give great impetus to the
trade, as convenient markets will be
opened by them. Great quantities
of lumber, cotton, and grain, he
thinks, will be sent to this country.
The Mexican tobacco and coffee,
he says, are the finest In the world,
and these, too, will seek our marts.
At present it does not paw to raise
wheat, on account of the expense OF
shipment and the lack of demand
for it at home. Hence the large

CHINA WEDDING
OF Rev. DIR. and Mrs. GOODWIN at
the Methodist Parsonage.

A very large and select gathering of
Austin's most Influential citizens met at
the parsonage last night to appropriately
celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the
marriage of this popular divine to his
most estimable wife. The attendance
was so numerous that the basement of
the church was required to contain those
who could not find comfortable
standing room in the house. Although
the Doctor has been in Austin but little
more than year, yet his popularity
is so great that representatives from many
churches other than hrs own were pre-
sent We noticed many of our most
prominent officials, including Gov.
Roberts, and the assemblsge was highly
fiattering to the host and hostess. A
great number of very valuable presents
were brought by more than fifty donors;
fine china tea sets, chamber sets, silver
ware in great variety of use
full and ornamental table pieces,
and an uucounted number of other to-
kens of esteem from various friends,
which lack of space prevents our emu
merating. The refreshment programme
was most excellent and a delightful so
cial evening was spent in extending and
receiving congratulations and viewing
the bewildering agglomeration of beau
tifHl presents. The STATESMAN extends
its congratulations to the worthy doctor
and his wife, and hopes their silver and
golden anniversaries will be spent here
in Austin.

little or no plant food being carried
off from the former, but quite large
quantities from the latter. To a
prudent, far.seeing farmer this tact
alone would be q most convincing
argument in favor of autumn crops.
Indeed il is a question worthy of
careful consideration, whether SIM
ply as an anti-leaching remedy, and
without any reference to raising a
crop or grazing il, il would not pay
a farmer to SOW rye or other grain
broadcast in his cotton fields at the
last blowing of cotton.
The last reason we shall mention
at present in favor of charging the
bounds of autumn crops is that on
rolling land they are great pre-
ventives of washing away of the
soil by heavy rains, and are
also great soil makers. AS every
one knows, land set in grass or clover
or small grains washes little or none
Tie smooth, level surface does moi
accumulate water as do the middlei
of rows, and the soil is held in place

The Prettiest woman In Paris
philadelphia Telegraph Letter.1

lEnllacelpnla IeleSrapn LeIter.J
The prettiest woman in Paris has
returned to Paris. Anybody who
has ever seen the fair and famous
Madame Bernadaki, the celebrated
Russian beauty, will know at once
who l mean without further de-
scription. L saw her in her box at
the opera the other night, looking
the very type of perfect, If soulless,
loneliness. In feature she resembles
greatly the portraits of Madame Re-
camier. The eyes are of deep, love-
ly blue, the nose aquiline. the mouth
small and shaped like Cupid's bow.
The exquisitely shaped head is set
to perfection on the white rounded
throat, and the shoulders in mould
and in coloring would put to shame
the most artistic form that ever was
sculptured in marble. If her face
were only expressive il would be di-
vine. In her superb toilet of white
satin the other night she was simply
dazzling. She does not altogether
understand how to set off her own
marvellous beauty. She breaks the
lines of her exquisite form by
wearing great masses of flow
ers on her corsage, and she
mars the outline of her shspely head
by similar additions to her couture.
1t is said that she will be next sea-
son one ofthe queens of Partisan So
ciety. Some encumberment which
had weighed on her husbands es-
tates will be removed, and he will
come into the possession of vast
wealth. which, Joined to his wife's
personal charms, will fully suffice to
secure the position of the pair in the
beau monde. l hope that some one
of the great portrait painters will,
during the coming season, immor-
talize on canvas the face aud form of
this flesh-and-blood Venus.

Cattle Diseases.

The Texas cattle fever is reported
as prevailing 10 an alarming ex-
tent at Steubenville, Ohio, and in
the neighboring counties in Ohio
and West Virginia. Among the
cattle recently brought from the
southwest a large portion of the
animals have died.
The disease among the cattle OF
Berks county, Pennsylvania, which
was reported as having broken out
last week, seems to be on the ILL
crease, and is creating the utmost
alarm and CONSERVATION in that sec
tiOn. Cattle have been known
to drop dead fifteen min
utes after they we're first at
tackled. Two cows of Hancock
Haak were driven into pasture
early In the morning. They were
apparently well, but in twenty min
utes they dropped dead. The rest
of the herd commenced believing
and paving the earth, and pranced
about the dead carcasses that were
rapidly swelling. In short time
six more of the same drove were
dead. The owner had their swollen
bodies carefully lined and buried in
the woods. In this way some thir-
ty head of cattle persisted on differ
emit adjoining farms. Some died IN
the stable. One farmer found two
cows dead in the barnyard.
When the cattle are first attacked
they refuse to eat and drink. They
seem TO be seized with chill aud
breathing becomes difficult. Some
moan and appear to be in great pain
In short time they lie down and
die in great agony. Their bodie:
swell out of proportion and fou
odor is emitted. A hasty examina
ton of one of the bodies showed
that the blood of the animals turns
completely black.
The disease Is undoubtedly splenlt
apoplexy, which is caused by an ex
tensive engagement of the spleen
with blood. Many of the symptoms
are the same as with Texas fever
but in the latter the spleen is not Sc
enlarged to so great an extent. Tit
spleen of some of these cattle which
have Just died was found to be quite
putrid. The bodies of dead animals
are very poisonous, and one man hal
already died from lockjaw and blood
poisoning, caused by assisting at {
post norton. Some of the
poison of the animal got into
his system through a wouno
on his hand, and i'll a few
hours his entire system was poison
ed. His body, arms and limbs be,
cama faa rfIllv swollen and covered
with black blotches. He was then
attacked with lockjaw and died in
terrible agony. Two others who as
sisted him narrowly escaped death
Their blotches were burned with
caustlc. Since then no attempts
have been made to skin animals OF
examine them. They are buried IN
hurry and the balance of the herd
quarantined. All barnyards and
stables are being thoroughly
cleansed, and farmers are strictly
quarantining all their cattle.

Experiments ON the Origin of the
Difference Between the Sexes.
GBreslaur Aerzetliche Zaitsehrift

DIR. G. Born's experiments were
made on the brown grass frog, ova
being artficially 1ertilized and
placed in twenty-four distinct
roomy aquaria. In five of the YES
sells the brood consisted entirely of
females in six more the proportion
of the same sex was from 91.5 to
SO per cent. In but two aquaria
was any considerable number of
males produced, viz; thirteen per
cent in the one and twenty eight per
cent in the other; whereas in nature
the number of males is about the
same as that of females. The cause
of this phenomenon appears to be
that artificial conditions tend, by
the smaller quantity of food thus
supplied to favor the development
of the weaker sex, which thus pre-
dominated; this view is enforced by
the circumstances that the aquarium
in which the greatest number of
males was produced had been acct
dentally inundated with muddy
water, which probably contained a
large amount of nutriment in the
form of minute organisms, such as
Ratifua, Infusoris and Alga, by
which encouragement was given to
the development of the stronger
sex. The result is the converse of
that arrived at by Prot. Hoffman, of
Guison, who found that deficiency
of nourishment resulted, in the case
of plants, in the production of an
excess of males.
