Col. Eddy Says Improv ements VIII Go On.
Col. j. NJ. Eddy, the new superin-
tendent of the Texas and Pacific. spent
yesterday in this city and started west
last night. He was visited by GA
zETTE man last evening who requested
some points on railroad matters.
Said Col. Eddy: "There is nothing at
all new. at least nothing that can be
of the least interest to the public.
When anything of any Importance is
determined on, / have no hesitation in
letting the public know it,"
Colonel, why has the work of lay
ing the side tracks, commenced about
two weeks ago been stopped ?'
Are YOU sure the work has been
stopped? A mere suspension, for a
change or improvement in plans is not
necessarily II stoppage. No sir, the
work will go on. If you should pass

am almost certain that for every piece

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
The Normal School ana its Success-Ia Sc
ries of Lectures.


Tonight DR.. G. Waggouer of Ken
lucky, will deliver lecture ut the
Germania opera house, taking for his
text, Teaching Ability The doctor
is man of considerable ar ility and
bears the reputation of being lecturer
of more tlian ordinary merit The
lecture is the first of Il series to be given,
directly for the benefit of those in at
tendance in the normal school, but no
entrance fee will be charged and the
public generally are cordially invited
10 attend.
That the normal. institute of Fort
Worth is success, is no longer a ques-
ton. There are enrolled eighteen
bonaiide teachers AS pupils and a
faculty offive. Saturday, these faith
ful workers at $50 p. IN.
were still discussing the many
lessons, and points raised during the
day.
The classes in calesthencs, drawing
and music, embracing all in attend
ance, are rapidly improving. The
value OF concentrated effort was never
more fully vindicated and substun-
tiuted than ut this Institute.
There will be very many of these
pupil-teachers who will go forth
to serve the city, county and state as
better equipped teachers, than if the
city of Fort Worth had not established
this institute. In addition To the COM
mon branches usually taught in our
schools, drawing, music and calisthen-
les can be added, aud can be taught by
the teachers prepared here. Fort Worth
should be proud of this opportunity
thus given her corps If teachers by
her city council. The Institute should
be visited by the friends of education,
and the lectures should be attended by
all. The lecture Monday night will
be treat TO our people. All are cor
daily invited It's free lecture

no reason why they should not go

"Do YOU think they will?"
"Weil, hardly know, have exam
ined them all carefully and believe
that the people will be making n great
mistake If they reject them. so far rs
| can Judge however, II Is my private
opinion that they will not. have seen
no indication that they will be voted
down. The proposed amendments
which are to be submitted to the peo-
pie for their ratification, are of too
much Importance to he lightly re-
jected, and | feel satisfied that they
will be carefully considered and voted
upon intelligently.n
There has been some talk Of divid-
ing the state, general. Are you in fa-
vor of it?n
mo, sir. 1t would be the greatest
mistake that the people of Texas could
possibly make. There Is no sense or
reason in it. Texas is IN itself a great
empire. and to insure its prosperity
and future greatness must remain in
tact The state is growing in point of
wealth and population. Immigrants
are Rocking here from every direction,
and there is no reason why Texas
should not become the greatest state
in the union. TO do this, however,
there must be no division, and
to this / believe the people
will never consent. 1t is the largest
state in the union, and at the rate at
which the population is growing, will
soon have a larger representation in
the halls of congress than any other
state, and will hold the balance of
power. In ten years Texas will send
fifty or more representatives to the ma
tional assembly, and when this body
goes there as unit and asks for an
appropriation for the Improvement of
harbors, congress will be afraid to re-
fuse it. No sir, the future of Texas
depends upon her remaining as one
state, and mark my words, no
division viii ever take place. There
are some old fossils who wish to have
the state divided but they are few and
their influence small. No true man,
having The prosperity of his state at
heart will ever consent to it,
AT this point the general arose rs If
to intimate he had nothing more to
say and the scribe took his departure.

Stevens, who committed Suicide
some days ago in San Antonio, fur.
nished one of the saddest recorded in
stances of a malverted lifcand splendid
abilities thrown away and supplied by
drink. He was possessed of more than
ordinary intellect, intensified and ann
plified by a long course of
Instruction and training in his
mercantile walk of life. Through
this unfortunate fondness for
liquor he was drugged some years ago
and seduced into marrying the east of
mistress of friend. He resolved to
reform and came 10 San Antonio for
the purpose of Kidding himself of dis
grazing wife. Drink ended an exist
ence which was ole long battle against
temptation which III the end proved u
victory for the foe.

graph Immediately. Along came the
umbrella member, and he hadn't been in
town lonr enough to get Il shave when
he was taken under the wings of the
marshal, and telegram sent. The
answer came in due course of time as
follows: Get light blue canopy top
for baby buggy in his possession, then
release him." Mr.. Karnes had no es-
pecial use for Eight blue canopy

on his way. Some people have some
very queer notions, and If this Fort

ated they readily obtained profitable employ
ment as soamstresses, while other girls who
had gone through the full course of study
and had also graduated at tho normal school
were unable to find anything TO do at
which they could earn living. Mr.. Swan
is so well satisfied with tho result of teaching
school girls to sew that he now thinks th ey
ought to be taught TO cook. Girls work in
stores for more pittanoe when they could
earn good wages as cooks; but, as matter of
fact, they know nothing about cooking and
have no opportunity of learning the art,
There is an industrial "homo." o charits-
BILE institution, in Boston in which women
and girls are instructed in nearly all the
useful domestic arts. 1t Is divided into six
teen departments, in which sewing, cooking,
washing and ironing, and other household
employments are taught, The girls are given
practical lessons in Setting the table," and
even instructed in table manners" SO as to
fit them for housekeeping and for taking
places in tho most aristocratic homes. This
institution has acquired such a reputation for
good laundry work that many ladies send
their servants there to learn tho art of wash
ing and ironing, and pay for their instru ction
at the ratio of 12l cents an hour. a
The struggle for places where living can
be earned. otherwise than by manual labor,
is becoming closer and sharper every year,
and of the children now growing up only a
few can expect to make their way through
the world without taking hold Of tho rough
elements with their own hands. Those who
are thoroughly trained in the mechanical and
industrial arts will have far better chance
of success than those who are but poorly
trained for professions and clerkships, which
are already overcrowded. In this view Of
tho case industrial education is OF as much
Importance in Washington as in Boston. The
demand for skilled labor, whether in the
workshop or in the household, is not likely tc
| grow less.

The United states and Buenos Ayres.

Mr., E. l.. Baker, the United States consul at
Buenos Ayres, has forwarded to the state depart
ment series OF reports on the foreign commerce
aud navigation Of the Argentine Republic, on
colonization In that country, and on its tariff and
finances. His tables OF tho foreign commerce OF
the republic show that France gets tho larger part
OF Its trade, the value Of the commerce between
the two countries for the year 1882 being s27 763,

OF 500 303,660; Belgium third, with q commerce OF
Sl6,677l95; Germany fourth, with q commerce OF
SDl2o0,020, and the United States only fifth, the
value of the commerce of this country with the
Argentine Republic being only S7,791 ,626.
With respect to American shipping in The ports
of the Argentine Republic Mr.. Baker says: 1T is
evident that our merchant vessels, which up TO a
few years ago almost monopolized the carrying
trade to and from the United States and this ooup
try, are rapidly being superseded by the flags OF

the United States now reaches here in foreign
bottoms; and the same with great emphasis may
be said Of the cargoes leaving here for home
ports"
on the subject of emigration from the United
States to the Argentine Republic, Mr.. Baker says
Except for capitalists who propose to engage in
commercial pursuits or sheep and cattle farming
upon large scale, do not think this country al

his invention in his patent, but having done
this, he has 40 right to thereafter file an sp-
plication for subject matter shown and de-
scribed in such patent. If he has remedy it
portion of his invention, and after the grant
of patent claim, in separate application
such reserved portion. A clause in patent
giving notice that the patentee reserves the

MAJ. HAINs's report on the progress of
work in improving the Potomac flats during
the month of November is of an encouraging
nature. Up to date about 100000 cubic yards
of material have heen excavated from the
river and Deposited ON the flats. OF this
amount 103049 were eXcavated during the
month OF November. Already navigable
channel of twenty feet has been secured
from deep water to Georgetown, and about
seventy acres of the flats have been raised to
an average height of three feet above high
tide mark So markedly successful has been
the work of doing away with the death deal
ing flats that before long the people of Wash
ington will hardly be able to locate the once
pestilential locality.
