EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.

THE Mexican veteran pension bill will go
through this congress.
A BILL to repeal the 5 cent mile railroad
fare has been introduced into the legislature.
BOOTH is balancing things of with
Geistinger by talking American to the Ger
mans in Berlin.
DAVID A. WELLS has put the democrats up
to making more reduction Of the tariff when
it reaches the house.
A RESOLUTION has been proposed in con-
eress, 10 take out all the desks, and only al
low chairs for members to sit on.
TIE Houston Post has come out as warm
partisan Of John Ireland. This same Post
kept standing Coke's interview on Ireland
during the canvass.
WURzBAcH, of Bexar, made his fellow law
makers laugh by suggesting an accident in
surance policy for the members attending the
inaugural ball II don't take much to tickle
the average democrat.
We ARE glad Lorne and his good wife did
not come to San Antonio, not that they are
any better than any people, but because our
reputation for insufficient hotel accommoda-
ton would have received another boom.
LYNCH, of Mississippi, wants to force the
color question upon congress by an amend
ment to the educational bill that all colored
schools be taught by colored teachers. About
as sensible as an amendment would be that
all white schools should be taught by red
headed women. All such attempts only make
the barring of color more formidable.
THE severest thing on Ireland is the praise
of the Houston Post over his inaugural. Only
few short weeks ago it was 'Ireland the liar
and thief" now it is His Encellency,'
s'bravewords, "noble sentiments, " and winds
up with offering its allegiance to Governor Ire
land. We believe everything we said about
Ireland during the canvass, and unless he
comes over to our way of thinking We shall
most assuredly be his opponent at the next
election if he is a candidate. Over one hun.
dred thousand free democratic voters have
cast their ballots against John Ireland becaus,
his party is failure.

created Baron Wolseley by Queen Victoria for
military service in Egypt, but it is not gener-
ally known that letters patent for his title cost
him $3.50 The fees paid by newly created
mobiles for their titles are heavy, ranging as
follows: Dukes, SI75o; marquses, $500

haronets, $500. Other lesser titles $3.50. Thus
the queen confers the title and the owner pays

Dell; and many of our readers could no
doubt, if they cared, recount equally
humorous episodes in their own exper-
fence, or at the expense of their friends.
Apropos, here is rather good story,
which comes all the way from the anti
podes. The camera obscura at the Mel
bourne Exhibition commanded view of
the streets of Melbourne, and also of the
steps leading up to the dome. On the
occasion in question the Exhibition was
not very full of visitors, and while sew
eral persons were looking at the camera
they observed the reflex of a young
gentleman and lady coming up the
stair towards the dome. Their looks
told how far they were entanglsd in the
meshes of love, but they need not have
betrayed it quite SO openly as they did.
Both gazed anxiously around; no one
was looking; the opportunity was too
good to be lost; and SO the languishing
swain clasped his lady love in his arms
and imprinted kiss upon her lips. The
sound could not have betrayed them, but
they had forgotten that unfortunate ca,
mera; and amid the rather inconsiderate
laughter of those above they in hot con-
fusion beat hasty retreat.
1t is certainly, one would suppose,
quite within the right of engaged lovers
to fault with each other for bestowing
favors of this kind in other quarters. An
engaged young gentleman got rather
neatly out of a scrape of this description
with his intended. She taxed him with
having kissed two ladies at some party
at which she had not been present. He
owned it, but laughingly assured her
that their united ages only made twenty
one. The simpleminded girl only
thought of ten and eleven, and laughed
Off her pout. The willy rascal did not
explain that one of the girls he had
kissed was nineteen years Of age and the
other two.
With the merry, time honored custom
of kissing under the misletoe our read
ers are all Of course familiar. Nor is it
necessary to do more than allude to the
well-known understanding that a lady,
finding gentleman asleep, may salute
him with kiss, and then claim as a re-
ward pair of gloves. We have known
young men to go to sleep in the most
careless way imaginable, in full cogni-
zance of this danger, and lose several
pairs of gloves before they happened to
awake. Many young ladies would prob
ably consider the act of kissing gentle
man whom they CHANGED to find asleep
rather breach of the proprieties than
otherwise; but there are few instances in
which they could not rely upon the full
and free forgiveness of the persons
against whom the offense was committed
who, indeed, in ninety -nine cases out of
hundred, would be only too willing to
submit to such sweet chastisement,
whether asleep or awake, and to pay the
penalty without murmur.
