ATTRIBUTE 10 THE LADIES.
In this great cause my thanks are
especially due and are rendered to the
ladies' of Texas, to the sex ever foremost
i'm all good works, whether we find her
tending the little cherub as il lies along
the breast If love, the cup of its life and
the couch of its rest, with its violet eye
rejecting heavens vault above, rs with
velvet hand she toys with its silken
ours, or whether with weeping over
and consolng the last moments Of some
aged parent with haii all white, sym
bolic OF the streaks of the coming dawn
that lies but a little way beyond; OF
whether, with stouter arm, sho sup
ports the wounded soldier In
tho bivouac of tho battle,
as old earth is greedily
absorbing hero's blood; or whether IN
work like this she labOrs to illustrate
her country's glory in the arts Of peace
Under all circumstances patriotism ant
sacrifice, enterprise and affection go int,
Joint copartnership with the motherhoot
of humanity, and tind their finest form
In our Texan women.
OUR MATERIAL INTERESTS.
Concluding his address, Col. Elliot
said: "'rhis great Exposition, wort
years of travel and reading, is meant fo
all, men and women, the old and Tn
young, white and colored, Democrat an
Republican, Christian and jew. Large
than the six New England States, Ne'
York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ne,
Jersey, Maryland and the two Virginia
all combined, Texas can, II she onl
wills II, lead all the States In this Unto
In the variety and the excellence of he
possessions and resources for the II
tended exhibit. Already for such on
have we organized over sixty AuXiliar
associations, while have 81
cured more than 5000 botanical spec
mems, 100 varieties Of native grasse
ninety-four varities of trees, and san
pies of marbles and GRANTEES, sandstone
and limestones, all in both the roug
and tho polished forms, manufacture
products of all sorts, textile, food, Woo
metal, etc.. innum9rable in quality al
STYLES. Also superior specimens OF o,
cereals, cotton aud wool, tobacco NJ
cane, and our fruits and our vegetable
and all our flora and fauna, andsfish
and live stock.
Besides this, / am having phot
graphed for tho exhibit all our pub
buildings, our handsome private strll
lures, our court-houses, churches al
school s ediiices. Thus will
be seen and proclaimed to an
sembled world that we do I
live altogether In adobe huts and W,
the time away during week days, VIII
our "women pass their Sundays In d
ping snuff and going to the free show
Niger hangings." And thus will
surprise tho world into that exclamat
OF the Queen of Sheba, "Verily, veri
tho one halt had not been toldn of
Lone Star State and her glories.
