THE LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION.

Much has been written about the position
and interest Texas will take at the Louisville
exposition, because Of the want Of a proper
provision in the State laws allowing appro-
priation to be made for such purpose, and
the Henderson News, in an article upon the
subject, speaks quite plainly to the point in
the following:
"The only main object we could have in
wanting our resources shown up there would
be the ultimate increase of population and
capital from the favorable impressions that
would be made on the minds ofthose who visit
and read of the exposition. We, in the Eastern
portion of the State, suffer more from
this hurtful legislation than any
other portion. We have not had
the influx of people to run up the value of our
lands, as other sections of the State have had.
We have never had our resources shown to
the world, only occasionally by private means
furnished by railroads. The Governors APP
peal for private aid, is clamoring for a thing
that sIumbers amid the dim impossibilities.
No man is going to hand out his money with
out any organized system for its application.
We have nothing TO do but to lie down on
the bed that majority of our representative
men have made for US. The golden oppor-
tuoity has passed"

PROSPEROUS.

The papers throughout the State comment
generally upon an item in the LIGHT which
stated that $6o,o 600 had been refused for a
corner lot in this city, and think the price
is somewhat exhorbitant. But glance at the
building permits issued every day is very
good evidence OF the rapid growth of San
Antonio, and the constantly increasing price
of desirable real estate, and it goes without
saying that no other city in Texas is making
better material progress, both in business and
population.

x,z-The members of the Salt Lake
bar do not believe in upholding a cor
rupt official; so, when report reached
them that the President was about to
appoint Sumner Howard Chief JUS
tice of Utah, they met and adopted
the following preamble and resolution:
WHEREAS, We are familiar with the
career of said Howard as United States
District Attorney of this Territory in
1875? and s, and believe him to have
been corrupt in the administration OF
his said Office and deficient in the nec-
essary legal qualifications to properly
discharge the duties of either a Dis.
trict Attorneyship or u Judgeship.
therefore be it
Resolved, BY the bar of Salt Lake
City, in a meeting publicly called, that
we earnestly protest against his ap.
pointment to the Office of Chief Jus
tice or any other Office in this Terri
tory, as we believe him to be utterly
lacking IN the necessary legal and
moral qualifications for said Office and
would deem his appointment public
calamity.

S. J. Friedman has determined to
close out his entire stock of clothing,
as he expects to build an addition in

a mammoth stock of European and
American dry goods and notions
To this end he has marked all his
goods down, but especially clothing.
Black dress suits that have been sell
ing in this city for $50 he sells for
x22.5O; he also has all-wool suits
from $40 upwards; and pants that
have been selling for $3.50 he now
sells for ~.
Everybody who needs clothes for
fall or winter wear had better 60 see
his goods, as really Astonishing bar
gains are offered.
This is no humbug, as anyone can
see on visiting the store.

WIRE:FENCE TELEGRAPHS.
4 Hint Which Our Rxnchers May Act
Upon.

Experiments fire being made BY
railroad companies in the Northwest
ern States to test the practicability Of
utilizing the fences for telegraphic pur-
poses. In MANY parts of Iowa, Min
nesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and other
States where timber Is scatce, wire
fences have been put up along the
railroads to keep the stock off the
track. BY utilizing tho fences for
telegraphing, a great saving can be
effected, as there will be no necessity
of maintaining independent telegraph
lines. The experi!fehts have been
satisfactory, and in the summer time
fences will answer for telegraph pur-
poses, but it is feared that in the win
ter, when the wires are buried in snow
drifts; the fences will not do. Some
of our ranchers who have miles upon
miles Of wire fences on their ranches,
may take the hint from these expert
ments, and establish communication
between remote parts of their lands
by telephone, as the wires will answer
for That purpose as we'll as for ordinary
telegraphing purposes.

People Grow Bilious

Scarcely less often from imprudence in diet and
failure to avoid other causes which sggravate 8
natural tendency to biliousness than from the use
OF illchosen remedies. The violent cathartics in

specific action upon the liver. The aperent opera

Be Courteous.

The influence of gentle, courteous words
upon those unused ev. n 10 words of common
comfort may BE- learned from an incident,
which also shows that it pays to be polite
even to street Arab:
One day, in suddenly turning the corner
of a street, young lady ran, with great
force, against a little ragged boy, and almost
knc cked him down. Stopping as soon as
she could, she turned, and said very kindly
TO he boy
ri beg your pardon, my little fellow; 1
am sorry that l ran against you"
The poor boy was astonished. He looked
at her for a moment with SURPRISE; and then,
taking off shout three-qusrters of q cap, he
bowed very low, and said, while broad
smile spread itself all over his face
You can hev my parding and welcome,
miss; and the next time you may run against
me. and knock me clean down, an 1 won't
ssy q word"
After the lady had passed on, he turned to
his companion, and laid, 81 say, jim, it's the
FIRST time ever had any one to ask my
psrding, and it kind a took me of my feet
That poor boy will never forge. those gen.
tie, loving, peaceful words
