Gcnticmen's Clothing.

There are no marked changes in cut
Ting gentlemen's clothing, though pan
falcons are narrower than those of last
season, and all coats are shorter, includ-
ing the Prince Albert frock- coats, dress
coats, morning getaways, sacks, and
also overcoats. The suit for business,
travelling, and morning wear is made
entirely from one piece of English or
Scotch suiting in neat plaids, checks, or
mixtures of color. The coat may be
sack with one or four buttons, or an
| English cut-away with the same number
of buttons. The vest, cut high like the
coat, has collar or not, according to
the fancy of the wearer. The trousers
are very close-fitting The semi-dress
suit for church and afternoon wear is
really the day dress suit, as it is worn to
all entertainments given in the daytime,
such as afternoon teas, receptions and
weddings. This consists of a Prince
Albert double breased frock-coat of
black or dark blue twilled cloth-young
men prefer dark blue with marked d.
agonal lines; this coat is finished with
silk facings, and the vest of the same
cloth is cut very high to match the coat,
SO THAI only very little of the folded scarf
Is shown below the collar. The trousers
are made of heavy cloth with dark neat
stripes, usually having gray effect,
but no special color prevails for these.
The dress suits remain unchanged in
shape, except that the coats are shorten
ed tritie. The most glossy West of
England broadcloth is used for this
swallow-tail coat and the vest, which is
cut low in front to match il, and these
are the only garments now made of
broadcloth for men of fashion. Silk
facings may be used on such coats, or
they are omitted, as the wearer directs.
The narrow trousers are of heavy doe
skin of the same lustrous black used for
the coat. Young men of fashion now
wear this suit to all entertainments in
the evening, putting it on for six O'Clock
dinners, making evening calls in it,
wearing it to the theatre, where former
ly it was seldom seen, and going thence
to receptions. Overcoats are made of
Elysians and fur beaver cloths, and are
most often sacks, slightly shorter than
those of last year, but occasionally a
surtout overcoat is ordered. Blue, brown
and black are the colors used, without
preference for either.-Harper's Bazaar.

OUR LITTLE ROAD.
The Efforts il is Making 10 Get
TO gainesville.

All our readers know the disadvan-
! tages which to "a large extent have at
tended the construction of the Narrow
Gauge road to this city, and the obsta-
cles they have had to surmount Before
the road reached Corsicana the iron
gave out and delay was occasioned.
Leaving there, it again came to another
stand-still, and later the Gould
system began to Cypress the weaker but
equally energetic neighbor. Then came
the difficulties at Waco and the con-
clusion on the part of the Iron Noun
tain not to carry anything for the Mar
row Gauge, and to harrass it III every
way seemingly that was possible. Next
1t was shut out completely from a ST
Louis connection and had to cast
around for means to construct its own
road besides making efforts to bridge
the BraZOs SO that ii could proceed on its
southwark course. Then came the wash
ing away OF the piling of the bridge i'll
the river and the abandonment of work
on 1t to use all the means and forces ON
the work on the Arkansas branch. But
we might go on and repeat numerous
drawbacks which this little road has,
but sufflce 1t TO say she seems to have
surmounted them all, and Is now en-
deayorlng to spread out northward and
southwark more than to make money
out of the line already built Work is
now going on at the bridge, and iron is
daily pouring in for the link west of
here. As soon as the bridge will
permit trains to cross, this iron
will be brought over and the track Will
at once be pat down as far as Gainesville,
and the plucky little Marrow Guage will
then enter into competition with the
Missouri Pacific and the Gulf, Colordo
and Santa fe for the trade south and
west of here in McLennan, Bell and
Coryell counties. The Narrow Gauge
eylnces the proper disposition, and we
nope she has surmounted most of her
IN construction. We under /
stand that she is going to hereafter use /
most Of her freight engines and
cars III construction at either end
Of the line, and in few
at most, trains will be .
into Gainesville, and by fall .
through connections with St. Louis Will .
be secured. For many reasons we are
glad to see the energy and progress of .
his road, and the fact that it is working
20 hard TO become through line and
ave us competition to some extent
olaces the public along the portion of
he line that Is now in operation for its
and uncertain passenger and
nail facilities.

Track Washed Out.

A large force of men were ut work on
the Missouri Pacific yesterday near Alb
bott, in Hill county, where some forty or
fifty yards Of track was washed out in
Sunday and yesterday mornings rain,
which was intensely heavy in that section.
Trains could not pass yesterday and all
mail and passengers over that road from
the north are still out. A number of
other places along the road we learn
are damaged TO some extent, but net
enough to cause any delay. Both the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Narrow Gauge, are hay
ing great deal OF trcHble with their
track, but no more than might have been
expected when the extraordinary
ircshets are considered and the track be-
ing so new. The consolation is left, how
ever, that If some damage and delay has
been caused, the rain has not altogether
been bad agent for the road, tor it has
packed the new roadbed down so hrrd
that ii will never move, and with proper
baIasting when the weather dries ur,
should make the smoothest and safest
kind OF track.

yet, when all is counted, the aggregate
is considerable. The unusually heavy
and protracted rains have made the
roads in this black, rich soil impossible
and produce cannot be moved. The
cotton exchange-for Waco has one-is
lively institution, and rivals in minia-
ture its sister in New Orleans. In view
ing the extent of this state, which is six
times larger than Louisiana or any Of
the cotton states, it is difficult to know
how any man can have the check to
estimate, with any degree of approximate
reliability, its cotton crop, particularly
the quantity now in the state, but your
irrepressible cotton syblls will predict
this and that result seated, in their arm
chairs in New York and New Orleans.

The Human Eve.

The eve is universally regarded as the
most delicate organ of the human body,
yet ignorant and unqualified persons OK
pertinent and tamper With it. Many who
are to-day blind have lost their sight
! through improper adjustment of glasses,
! by buy ing generally from spectacle deal

the purchaser. People will see adver-

tacleS as low as fifty cents pair, and then
again they will see advertisements of Won
sertul and scientific discoveries OF specis
Giles. Without considering, they will pur-
! chase pair OF them, pay four times the
value for them-tlrst, because the inventor
OF the same advcrtiSes them extensively
and makes the purchaser pay for it. Ii is
lmmatcrial how much or how little the
purchaser pay for the spectaces; the sci
enti1ic part of a spectacle is The adjust
ment and the proper selection OF tie
glasses. 1t is Well-knOWn to everybody
that arsenic is Il cheap poison, but if pro-
perlY administer ed by practical phvsi-

dose will kill. This is like cheap spceta-
