lrrigating Strawberries.

Often when writing of strawberry culture
we have remarked that nothing seemed to
make strawberries swell rapidly, and produce
Il large crop Of fine fruit, AS two or three
thorough soakings Of water just when the
fruit was about half grown We suppose
numbcrless persons who grow small Quanti-
ties in gardens and can readily follow such
advice as this, have protitcd by it in the past.
These and others who have learned this
little hint IN strawberry growing will be sur
prsed to learn that it is rather II new idea !;
and it is said 50 much profit has been found
in this watering of strawberry. plants about
fruiLing time, that large reservoirs to hold
water enough 10 irrigate acres are likely TO
he considered essential parts Of Il wcll.ordcr-
ed strawberry patch.
One should think that in New Jersey,
where markctmcn generally grow their fruit
in narrow beds, this idea ofirrigating the beds
about fruting time would he found to pay
well. Almost all fruit trees, about the time
the fruit is swelling, require an enormous
amount of moisture rs so much water is re-
quired To make up the juicy parts of plants.
But most trees have some roots that 90 down
some distance below the surface, where the
moisture is more regular than near the top
of the grouLd The strawberry, in proper
ton to the total weight of the whole plant,
has probably to collect more moisture for its
fruit than almost any other plant; hence its
roots, small and tibrous, do not go many
inches below the surface and are thus pecu-
liary sensitive to n lack of moisture in n dry
time.
This hint it is well for those who cultivate
the strawberry for domestic consumption to
bear in mind. They will find, ifthesc water
ings are abundant and thorough-not mere
sprinklings from the rose of watering pot,
but copiously from the spout, so as really to
flood or overflow the bed-they will be re-
paid so literally rs to wonder, that somebody
had not told them about il before. 1t is true

several occasions but where the strawberry

REVOLUTION IN BUILDING TRADE,
The Alamo Cement Concrete Walls the
Best, Cheapest, Artistic and
Most Durable.

Now that buildings are being erected i'm all
directions the important question is asked
which is the best, safest and most serViceable
material for general use. In the past lumber
and rocks have been principally used, but
there are serious objections against lumber
soft rock is not durable, and brick and hard
rock is too expensive to be generally adopted
There was an admitted need for medium ma
terial, ana that want has been supplied by the
Introduction of the Alamo cement concrete for
the formation of walls.
LIGHT commissioner recently visited two
houses which have been erected by Mr.. George
III. kalteyer on Nolan street, near Mr.. Dulnig' s
residence. The walls of these houses are only
about half the usual thickness, but they are
made of Alamo cement concrete, and are az
durable and impenetrablc as the hardest rock
The Outsides have been finished with cement
ornaments, which give the houses handsome
and artistic appearance, such as could not be
had in Il rock building. The expense of such
walls is not much more than lumber and less
than that of soft rock, and there is little doubt
that when the merits of the new system are
generally understood and appreciated, the
Alamo cement concrete walls will he uni
versally adopted. Mr.. kalteyer claims that the
Alamo cement concrete wall will give the cIti.
zens better, cheaper, artistic and more durable
houses, and has erected these buildings to prove
the truth of his assertion. The citizens will do
well to examine the buildings for themselves,
and then compare the cost of lumber or rock
houses of the same style and Dimensions. They
should also examine the walls, to test their
sOlidity and finish.
Cement concrete for walls is by no means a
novelty. Its durability has been COnclusively
proved. There are now eNtant fragments of
such work executed by the Romans, on which
the rains of centuries have beaten and which
remain almost us sold and durable as they
were on the day they were first made. The
Alamo cement concrete is i'm every respect as
durable as that which the Romans so usefuly
emulpNp1.

said that the society was instituted for collect
ing and publishing historical memoranda of
the civil war. Since 1873 its headquarters
had been at Richmond, Virginia, the
Confederate capital, and after much
trouble it had attained success. General Lees
visit here was to create interest in the objects
OF the society and to incite search for the
truth of that memorable struggle, the bitter
memories of which were buried beneath the
wave of forgetfulness. DIR. Jones was re-
ceived with considerable applause.
Major Valdez then introduced the lecturer,
and, in the course of his remarks, said that
war was calamity which should be depre-
ciated and in all possible instances nations
should avoid it, but the deeds of valor and of
heroism on the field of battle were interesting
to all, to the young and to the old, to the man
and the woman, to the rich and the poor, and
when they were related by an active particle
pant, as they would be tonight, those deeds
should be all the more interesting. Such an
one will tell the incidents of the battle of
Charlottesville, one of the most memorable
and desperate battles of the war. General
Lee is known to many as the young Lieuten-
ant of the Second cavalry which furnished
many bright officers. We welcome him to
San Antonio as an old friend, and remember
proudly his blood relationship to the great
commander whose military genius is
recognized throughout the whole world
This lecture had pleased many and will please
us. 1t had, he was glad to say, done much to
remove the imaginary barrier which once di-
vided the North from the South.
General Lee, who was loudly cheered, then
advanced and acknowledged his compliment
airy reception. He then read his written
lecture on the battle of Chancellors-
vile. The General eloquently told how
the battle was fought on 'the bright May
morn of '63," and of the valor of the Southern
heart. How with the $4,000 on the one
side and 5000 men on the other, both sides
CALAMITY fought for supremacy. He spoke
particularly Of Major Pelham's death, jestingly
Of Hooker order and glowingly of che finest
army on the planet being like the waves Of
the ocean driven by mighty wind upon the
Shore" When he drew to a close he paid a
grand tribute to General Stonewall Jackson.
The lecture was military criticism, full Of
vivid descriptions of the incidents which pre-
coded and followed the fight at Chancellors-
vile, showing the skill of the commanders
and the bravery Of the mea who participated.
The discourse was somewhat lengthy but was
listened to with marked interest, and at the
conclusion the audience rewarded the lectur er
by prolonged and hearty applause.

FITZHUGH LEE AND HIS MISSION.

We cannot resist the impulse whena Confed-
crate flag is unfurled to the breeze to give it a
shot. We have no sympathy with the mis-
sion, or crusade of ex-Confederate General
Fitzhugh Lee. If his object is simply to per-
petuate the Southern version of the late re-
bellion, it is unnecessary and fruitless. His
tories are not written by corporations or asso-
Citations, they ripen and fall from single hand
into the lap of ages. So far as that portion of
the Southern people who were engaged in the
rebellion are cocerned, it would be better that
the story dropped into the sea of oblivion, for
the valor of the Southern armies will always
be Swallowed by the crime of treason and the
cause Of slavery.
The battle of Charlottesville was a dis
aster to the Union arms; its carnage sent sor-
row and grief to thousands OF fresides, and
left aching hearts throughout the republic to
this good day. Mr.. Lee finds satisfaction in
relating the strength of each army and
drawing a picture to the discredit
of the Union soldiers who were swept
down by an inferior force. Every
one who knows how battles are fought
knows that the advantage is not always with
themost numerous force. and also that 50, 1000
Confederates never by the superiority of valor
whipped 1870, 900 Unionists. Such COMPARE
sons only excite rancor.
Now, we have a notion that Mr.. Lee has
some other mission than dim historical one
some deep laid political plan that bodies no
good to the Southern people. Once before
an ex-Confederate General came on a lectur-
ing tour to our State, and was received in like
manner. He came in the in the interest of a
Southern series of school books /; his visit was
followed by political movement throughout
the then recently reconstructed States.
There are two sides to the Southern history
of the war. The Union men might organize
to perpetuate their heroic actions with more
excuse than the ex-Confederates, but they
have never yet presumed to stir the embers of
recollection of a strife that had better die out
than be rekindled.

a Ciaim That it is Illegal, and Cannot be

Recorder Callaghan on Saturday afternoon
heard the adjourned cases of the professional
gamblers arrested during the recent police
raids on the Arlington and Green Front
saloons. The court was crowded.
When the cases were called, Mr.. M. G..
Anderson on behalf Of the prisoners, admitted
that the city had jurisdiction over such cases,
but urged that the City Council had passed
an ordinance which did not comply with the
requirements of the statutes of the State, mas
much as the penalty imposed by the CITY ordi-
nance was less than that provided by the
State, wherefore the ordinance could not be
legally enforced
The Recorder ovGruled Mr.. Anderson's
exception, and the case of Sam Moore for
exhibiting a gambling table at the Green
Front saloon was heard, and fine of SIS
imposed, with the alternative of 20 days in
generation in the city Jail. Notice of an
appeal was given.
The remainder of the gambling cases were
continued until Tuesday morning.

ITALIAN OPERA.
The Angela Peralta Company's PerfOr-
mances at Turner Hall Sat-
nrtIav


urday.
San Antonio, famed for its love of music,
has accorded but chilling reception to a
company of operate artists whose meritorious
performance it was anticipated would be at
tended by crowded houses and deserved plaud-
its. The principal reason is, perhaps, the
high price demanded Tor seats. But there is
one other advanced which demands attention,
the fact that the means of Interpretation is a
foreign tongue. For many years Italian opera
has been declining in popular estimation and
the day may not be far distant when rem
dering of Italian opera in this and other En-
glish speaking countries will be of rare oc-
currence. But that the Italian language will
even here ever cease to be vehicle of melody
is not probable. Its merits are too evident
or that.
This evening Belini's grand opera, Norma,
will be produced by the Peralta company.
This is the finest opera company that has
visited our city, and every lover of music
should take advantage of the opportunity to
hear the prina donna and her splendid troupe.

All in the fashionable world will remember
that some months ago charming and accom-

dent through her dress catching FIRE. So
severe were her injuries that life was de
SPARED of, and the officiating clergyman of a
we'll known West End church was sent for to
administer spiritual consolation to one be
lieved to be moribund. To him the lady
said: "As know that am dying, have a
secret will disclose TO you only. ! love you
with my whole heart" The prompt reply
was: "You must not die, but live to be nv
wife" ! am glad to add that this week
the lady was married to the object of her affec-
tons,
