ORIGIN Of the Names in the Week,


In the museum at Berlin, in the hall devoted
to Northern antiquities, they have the repre-
sensations from the idols from which the names
Of the days of our weeks are derived.
From the idol of the Sun comes Sunday
This idol is represented with his face like the
sun, holding burning wheel, with both hands
on his breast, signifying his course around the
world.
The idol Of the Moon, from which comes
Monday, is habited in a short coat, like a
man, but holding the moon in his hands.
Tuisco, from which comes Tuesday, was
one Of the most ancient and popular gods oil
the Germans, and is represented in his gar
ments Of skins, according to their peculiar
manner of clothing; the third day of the weel,
was dedicated to his worship.
Wooden, from which comes Wednesday, was
valiant prince among the Saxons. His
image was prayed to for victory.
Thor, from whence comes Thursday, is
seated in bed, with IL stars over his head,
holding a scepter in his hand.
Friga, from whence we have Friday, is rep
resented with drawn sword in his right hand
and a bow in his left.
Setter, from which is Saturday, has the ap-
pearance Of perfect wretchedness; he is thin.
visaged, long-haired, with long beard. lie
carries water pail in his right hand, wherein
are fruits and flowers.

Nat Q. Henderson, Of the Georgetown
Record, has paid another visit to San Antonio,
and after noting the many improvements and
other indications of the Alamo city's pros
perity, he does the city the justice to say
1--WE look on San Antonio, with her untold
millions of wealth, and her generous, big
hearted people, as the great city OF the mighty
West, and even in all her greatness, she is vet
in her infancy compared to what she will be
in the near future She will continue to grow
and expand until her people will be one of the
most powerful and wealthiest of any city in
the West or South. She has all the elements
Of still greater prosperity, and ere long will
be one OF the proudest, most thicxly populated
and most gorgeous cities Of any within Texas
or the South"

swers "Amen."

were confdentially informed by him that in
his (Blaine's) opinion, II Governor Butler
could secure the reelection in Massachusetts
this year, he would inevitably become the
Democratic nominee for President, and be
elected. Blaine is himself out OF politics, and
would under no circumstances be in the field
for the Presidency next year.

Logan and Cameron, Of the Senate commit
tee, to consult with the Sioux, relative to the
proposed opening Of the Sioux reservation to
settlers, reached this city to-day on their re-
turn trip. They said that nothing had been
definitely settled, that they found certain
white men in that section OF country who had
advised the Indians to hold fast to their reser-
Walton, as by doing so they could force the
government to pay them a larger price than is
now proposed. As a consequence the chiefs
were found very non-commitial on all subjects
which the committee were empowered to talk
with them about.

FROM an article in the Age Of Steel, speaking
OF the unskilled methods Of reducing crime, we
take the following; "If judicious appca.
ton Of the whip could be SO applied as to
arrest the increasing tender cy to meanness,
cruelty and other low vices, it would be wise
to revive this simple punishment and procure
practicable realization Of the ideal man. At
present we are puzzled and often deceived
about him but the whip would make so
definite dividing line that there would be no
mistakes. Every debatable character would
consider it the first step in his policy to so
order his conduct as to keep this punishment
at a safe distance. Patient brutes and help
less children have been and still are unmerci-
fully h,gged but how much less cruel and
more wise would we be il the strokes were
legally administered on those guilty OF cruelty
and certain immoralties. We are ambitious
OF being considered wise, pr gressive PEG.
pie, and opportunities are never lacking to
prove our abilities in that line il we choose to
use them. A prime occasion is now offered.
even If it requires some retrograde move
ments, to show our best, by inaugurating a
new era Of Just and sensible metods of dealing
with crime, and making certain that due pun
ishment will be melted out to all classes of
criminals and delinquents There is no sub
ject that demands more thought of our most
thoughtful citizens.

The following, from the Victoria Advocate,
is little overdrawn, so far as the interest dis.
played by San Antonio in the proposed rail-
road to the gulf is concerned, and eau be
accounted for on the ground that the people Of
the southeast country are more than anxious
for such connection. But the censure is not
altogether undeserved by reason of the apathy
displayed in the past The Advocate says:
"a second edition of the Java earthquake
would be required to thoroughly arouse the
people of San Antonio 10 the importance of
direct railroad connection with tide water by
an independent line of road, controlled in the
interest of that city. Coru' Christi is in
earnest about the proposed Nueces Valley
road, and is scheming to draw a large slice of
San Antonio's trade to that pl,ce. II the
Alamo City will for once abandon its charac-
ter as the dullest, sleepiest old town in North
America and act vigorously, portion of the
danger thus threatened msy he averted."
