Mrs. Frank Leslie is going to marry
the Anglo-Franco-Crink Crankum,
Marquis De Leuville, after all. The re-
port was denied several times, but is now
formally announced. De Leu is "a verita-

ed upon as quite too much too-too be-
Ing a poet, a painter, an author, and a
worshlpper at the shrine of Beauty.
However it is all right, if Mrs. Frank be
satisfied; and it will be a big advertisement
for the paper, which she says she means
to continue to manage, De Leuville or

BY courtesy Of Chief Clerk Cross, of
the Auditors office, we have the An
nual Report Of the State Auditor for the
fiscal year ending Nov. 80, 1883. As
the Report has been already widely sum-
married. by other papers who had the
advantage of advanced copies, we note
for the present merely the general re-
suits, as follows. 1t will be gratifying
to sec a steady increase in value of our
assets though, of course. some portion
Of the increase is due to higher valua-
tons, under the impulse of the press,
and the action of the last legislature.

JUDGE MASON'S RETURN.

He Thinks Virginia viii Go for the Democratic
Representative for Different Reasons.
Our County Judge left his father in
good health, who was very much pleased
at the notice taken Of him by the San
Antonio papers. Judge Mason says very
little blowing has been done for the
spring crops from Louisiana to Ohio Ow-
ing to the overflow. Turning to politi-
cal subjects he thinks Virginia win vote
for the Democratic representative.
First, because the Republicans and
Readjusters don't affiliate together, and
secondly, because the flinders have the
election machinery in their hands, they
having expelled 16 members to give
them twO-thirds majority against Gov
ern0r Cameron, who is Malone man.
In Ohio the Scot liquor law is causing
much trouble, and is likely to effect the
Democratic majority.

VANITY FAIR.
Brilliant Scene at Turner HALL Bright Flowers
and Lovely lassies.


and Lovely lassies.
The Interior Of Turner hall, with its
flashing lights, bright flowers, lovely
forms and fair faces, presented last night
marked contrast to the scene without,
where muddy streets and lowering
clouds greeted those who ventured out.
To add to the attractions inside, the
mellow strains of music could be heard
floating through the hall and delighting
the ear. For days past the ladies' of the
Presbyterian church had been engaged
In the preparations for last nights en-
tertainment. Animated by desire to
do good for the church. and at the same
time provide an evening of innocent
pleasure, they had worked industriously.
They allowed no obstacle to stand in the
way of the accomplishment of this OBJ
ject, and though the rain fell in torrents
during yesterday, they concluded not to
postpone the entertainment, but to give
the whole programme in it's entirety.
When the doors were opened last night
sented. Table after table of fragrant
flowers, over which the fair ones pre-
sided, met the eye, and who could resist
the appeal to purchase boquet when il
came supplemented by bewitching
glances from sparkling eyes and was
rendered by woman's fair hand? In the
center of the room was an attractive
table laden with all sorts of fancy ar
ticles and presided over by Mrs. Gaylord.
Among the first and most attractive
flower tables that met the eye on enter
ing the hall were those over which
Misses Pet Means, Emma Weir, Clara
naannnnt p1.s ~
Ida Lemon, Lizzie Barbour, Fannie New
ton and Alice Marye presiked.
The lemonade stand, where the thirsty
swain could slake his thirst with the
beverage that cheers but not inebriates,
was under the superintendent of Mrs.
Weller and Miss Ada Hockett.
There was another feature of interest,
and that was the postoflice, which held
itself in no way amenable to Uncle Sans
arbitrary regulations. Here Mr.. Sid
Marye occupied the exalted position of
postmaster and Miss Virginia Newton
acted as letter carrier, delivering to the
young gentlemen dainty and mysterious
missives, whose contents often caused
considerable merriment. The favored
youth who was fortunate enough to re-
ceive letter was called upon to pay a
moderate postage, which was exacted by
the fair carrier.
Early in the evening the flower tables
were cleared oftheir fragrant burdens to
make room for ice cream and cakes.
which tasted all the sweeter for being
dispensed by lovely walters. The ladies
who managed and prepared the "Vanity
Fair" deserved the fullest success, and
though the attendance and patronage
was not what it would have been had the
weather been clear and the streets dryer,
still the entertainment was well patron
lied, and it is to be hoped a neat sum was
realized to be devoted to the parsonage
fund.

Editor San Antonio Light:

Oldys, in the last century, "made ex-
tempOre, occasloned by fly drinking
out of his cup ofale," as he stated. B. C.
Busy, curious, thirsty fly,
Drink with me and drink as !,
Freely welcome to my cup,
Couldst thou sip and sip 1t up.
Make the most Of life you may,
Life is short and wears away.
Both alike are mine and thine,
fastening quick to their decline.
Times a summer, mine no more,
Though repeated to three score.
Three score summers when they are
gone,
VIII appear as short as one.
