BOsh, Another Name for Economy
1Dallas Times I

All the newspapers in the state con-
tain the information that wine has
been banished from Gov. Ireland's
table. 1t was also banished from Gov.
Roberts table, Gov. Hubbard's table,
and the tables of the rest of the Texas
governors. The truth is, there has
never been governor of Texas who
made rule of having wine on the
table. A square drink of whisky be-
fore dinner is, and has been the rule.
All this talk about 'banishing wine,
ETC., la Mr.. and Mrs. Rutherford
Hayes, is the purest of bosh.

The Del Vale Picnic.

The annual Del Vale picnic will be
held this year at Bakers crossing on
next Thursday, the oath inst. Every
body is invited, and expected to at
tend. In regard to these Del Vale
picnics it is hardly necessary to speak.
They are justly famous for fun, frolic
and pleasure generally. There is al
ways a good band of music, and those
who choose may glide DER the sward
like fairies at play and gayly beguile
the hours away. This picnic will
eclispe all the others in every feature
of enjoyment. and very large crowd
will be in attendance. Being only a
few miles below the city, on Onion
creek. where the outrageous trees
will protect from old Sol, and plenty
of cool, crystal water, the care-worn
citizens of Austin can fly from care
for a few hours and enjoy a day amid
Diana'S bowers.

GratuitOus Advice, Probably.
[Cleburne Chronicle


1t is possible the controversy now
prevailing between the Santa Fe and
the Gould system of roads could be
settled by the courts. If the federal
judiciary, in the interest of commerce,
on which subject it certainly has Ju-
risdiction, would enjoin the acceptance
of all through tickets and bills of lad
ing, by whatever road issued, on
equitable pro rata compensation, it
would go farther to settle the rail
road question than whole codes of
legislation. There is flexibility and
adaptivenesS about the common law
as interpreted and moulded by the
courts that peculiarly fits it for deal
ing with complicated matters. If the
Santa Fe will take the subject into
the courts and draw the starch out of
some of the vast railroad combina-
tions. it will deserve the discriminat-
ing plaudits of the public.

Work has been recommended on
the Washington monument. When
completed it will have height of SOC
feet of stone and So feet of glass, and
will. it is thought, exceed in height
the highest structure ever reared by
the hand of man. The Strasburg ca
thedral towers to the height of 46e
feet, and st. Peters, at Rome. 448; the
spire of the cathedral of Cologne
rises to 511 feet, and the highest of
the pyramids was but 479 feet high
when it was first built. Hence it ap-
pears that when, as is expected, the
Washington monument is completed
in December, 1885, its topmost point
will be some "A feet higher than any
other artificial elevation.

concerning the higher courts will receive such
by writing our court reporter.1
A. Dutton VS.. j. E. Norton; from
Somerville county.-Norton sued
Dutton in Justice court for $172.50;
sued out several attachments, which
were levied on cotton, corn and farm
ing implements. Norton got judg-
ment and Dutton appealed to the
county court. Norton got change of
venue to Somerville county, where
the appeal was dismissed on the
grounds, first, That notice of appeal
had not been given by Dotton in JUS
tice court; and second, Because the
appeal bond misdescribed the judg-
ment appealed from. From this last
Judgment Dutton prosecutes this APP
peal. Held, AS to the first ground
that there is no particular form of
words required to constitute a
notice of appeal. All that is necessary
is that there be an entry upon the
minutes or docket of the court show
ing with reasonable certainty that
the party, dissatisfied with the judg-
ment, had, in open court, announced
his intention to appeal. Held, as to
second point that there was no mis-
description of the judgment. The
cotton and corn for the purposes of
this case are identical with the money
which was their proceeds. A fore
closure upon money was in effect d
| foreclosure upon the cotton and corn.
For the reason that the court erred
in sustaining appellees' motion to dis
miss the appeal the judgment is re-
yersed and cause remanded to county
court of Somerville.-Will j.
Judge Wilson takes occasion to
throw out some good suggestions
which attorneys will do well to con-
slider. AS the organ of the court he
says: 1--WE cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our disapprobatiDn of the
voluminous transcript in this case. 1t
contains 16S pages and the cost of it is
S66.40. 1t presents but a single ques-
ton for the determination of this
court and that question could have
been more clearly and more satisfac-
| torily presented in transcript of half
a dozen pages at a cost OF not
exceeding ten dollars" Counsel, it is
suggested, should under rule 81 have
agreed upon the papers necessary fol
the transcript or prepared an agreed
case under article 1414, revised sta
tutes. The court too intimates that
the parties should be required to re-
plead under the requirements of rule
for the government of district and
county courts. The issues have been
obscured rather than made plain by
the accumulated pleadings presented
in the transcript.

Hints To Young Ree.Keeners.

| have been managing bees eight
years on the improved method of bee
culture, and can truly say they paw
me better than anv stock on mr. farm,
| One great drawback to successful
bee culture is that too many beri =
with the idea that any one can keen
bees and make money rapidly. 4
great many men having seen the cas- g
with which few of our skilled apia-
rists have succeeded in securing large
returns from their investments, rush
into the business without a sufficient
knowledge to insure success They
expect large return without giving
the business the attention required.
Disappointment and failure are the
natural results, and they quit the bus
mess in disgust.
The last of March or early in April
is good time to buy bees. If the
colonies are strong in bees and heavy
with honey, and the bees go in and
out of the hive freely, fly around
briSkly, with a pie isant hum and car
ry in pollen freely, you may be sure
they are in good order Don't be afraid
to move them. Bees can be moved
more safely IN the spring than at any
other time.
If you have never kept bees you
will need aIbee veil. Take a strip of
wire cloth nine inches wide and three
long, and turn over Il hem along
each edge and sew the ends TO.
gether, which, while it stands on your
shoulders. will reach a little above the
rim of your hat and he kept away
from your face and ears by it. Next,
sew piece of cloth over the top, so as
to hang on the top of your hat. You
Will need piece of muslin or mos
quito bar around the bottom to keep
the bees from flying under the wire
cloth. You are now ready to move
your bees. If your bees are in box
hives, blow little smoke in the en-
trance of the hive from a burning roll
of cotton rags or rotten wood. In
vert the hive, and place a cover of
veil cloth or moSquito-bar over the
top, and the swarm can then be safe
ly carried anv distance in a spring
wagon.
The best place for bee yard is
southeast of the house. In placing
hives in the yard, place them in
straight row, and six feet apart in the
row. Be sure and have them face the
south or southeast, and protect them
from the northwest wind and rain
and the rays of the MONDAY sun
Bees thus situated winter better, and
leave the hive earlier for the field,
and in the course of the season this
precaution makes considerable differ
ence with the honey yield.-C Cor.

1t is estimated, after a number OF
exhaustive tests, that corn will shrink

field or shock, in the autumn and

The soundest and best corn shrinks the

LANn pEpARTN1ENT.


Commissioner Walsh has for long
time been satisfied that there were
valuable minerals, gold, silver, lead
the school lands. Among which are
some of the university reserve To-
Gated, in Preside and other counties;
but he has no data as to the particular
sections where the deposits exist.
This data is expected to be developed
in time as discoveries divulge their
secrets, by filing their applications, as
Lieut.. Bulls OF the United States
army has already done, under the
provisions of the mineral land law
enacted by the last legislature. Lieut..
Bulls of the United States army, as
the STATESMAN has already reported,
filed valuable specimens of gold and
silver ore from some of the school
lands in Preside. but did not indicate
the precise section.
In answer to a letter of inquiry
Yesterday the commissioner repeated
a ruling which he had previously
made, and which, it seems, has been
misstated. His ruling is that he will
not patent on surveys made under
what is known as the fifty cent law,
where the files are made prior to, and
the surveys after the law was re-
pealed, until the question is deter.
mined by the courts.
CONTROLLERS DEPARTMENT.
In answer to a letter of inquiry
from Mr.. E. Bergmon, of Nacog-
doches, Texas, Comptroller Swain re-
piled yesterday as follows;
II ana of the opinion that wine
grower who manufactures wine from
grapes of bis own raising can sell
wine so manufactured in unbroken
packages, that is, by the barrel, keg
or bottle, without payment of the
occupation tax as liquor dealer. but
If he sells such wine by the drink OF
permits wine to be drank on the place
where it is sold he will be required tt
pay the tax. If party who is not
wine grower establishes a place fol
the manufacture of wine from grapes
purchased from other parties, whether
raised in this state or out of it, anC
sells wine so manufactured, he should
be required to pay the tax in accord
ance with the act approved March
III, 1881, regulating the sale OF
spirituous. vinous or malt liquors as
medicated bitters.
