How To KEEP FLowERs.-As general
thing flowers will droop and fade in q
day and night; yet there are kinds, like
the camelias and eupatoriums which
can be kept longer if the water is
changed morning and night, and q few
drops Of camphor spirits added to il.
But II the faded flowers are put into q
dish of scaldinQ hot water deep enough
to cover one-third of their stems, by the
time the water has cooled the flowers
will have become fresh and erect. Then
cut off the ends Of the stems. and put
them into cool water with q small bit OF
saltpeter in it. Flowers will keep longer
in dishes Of vet sand than in vases Of
water.

In the course of debate in the
Senate at Washington yesterday on the

Whom and What vii, tho End Be?

When ana What Will the End Be?
Under this head the New England
Farmer has to say of the high prices for
Jersey cattle:
Agood many persons are wondering
what will be the end of the excitement
in prices of Jersey cattle, for to claim
that there is no excitement among
buyers when they are anxious t. pay
$4,000 or s. ,0O0 fora single animal would
be claiming what no one believes. An
observant reader in New York state
who was present at . recent auction sale
ofJerseys in New York city, writes us,
''that uniess the price Of that kind Of
stock keeps up number OF years some

thouxh hardly that"
But II $3 QUO seems high price to pay
for Q single animal, what shall We say Of
the statement which is just published on
good authority that one of the farmers
who is anxious to secure some good
Jersey cows has recently visited Mr..
Fuller's herd in Hamilton, Ont, and Of.
fered $4,000 for Mary Ann of st. Lam.
berts? And what shall we say of the re.
fusal of such an offer? That two unwise
men met? The same mail that brings
the news of this great offer aud refusal
also brings the sad story of the death by
milk fever of one Of the noted buttcr
cows, Valhalla $500, q COW that had
made "a pounds Of butter In IA days and
was expected to beat her own record
next summer. Mr.. Farlee, the owner,

afford to take all the risks Of carrying
such property, may perhaps we'll spend
their money in that way. Il will bene.
fit somebody probably. But farmers
who don't make their money easily, or
who have to borrow money for such
speculation, had better stand back, keep
cool, and look on. The public good calls
for no sacrifice from such men.

TRIPLES FROM TAYLOR.

TAYLOR, July 31.-At a special
election held here yesterday for the
office OF marShal-to fill the vacancy
! caused by the killing of Morgan
Geo. w. Pierce received majority of
the votes cast, over two other candi-
dates, and the boys had quite a iollifi.
cation last night over the result.
We are needing rain bad. The cot
ton crop may be able to stand it a few
days longer. Rain now would insure
bountiful crop.
Detached sections Of Williamson
county gaS-works can be seen daily on
our streets. A senatorial burner was
illuminating the city vest erday casting
its light in various and sundry direc-
tions. A prohibition burner endeav-
ored to give an exhibition several
days ago, but after wasting several
boxes of matches the gfS was found
to contain so much water, that it
wouldn't burn in Taylor. There is an
o!d-tlme burner here to-day, that will
give an exhibition tonight, this same
burner was on exhibition here two
years ego, but failed to be received as
the regulation burner for Williamson
county. Though the inventor says he
intends improving on it, until 1.-THE
democracy of Williamson county will
be compelled to adopt it. The most
OF these machines are manufactured
at the county seat or in the northern
part of the county. The citizens in
this section think the examining COM
mittee, when it meets to test the
machines, will select one now in the
dark, that will probably give better
light than any yet tested.

FROM SAN MARCOS.

SAN MARCOS, July 81 admire the
pluck of THE STATESMAN; the stand
you have taken will be a credit to you
in the future.
Politics is at fever heat in our
quiet little city since the Hays county
convention, and the advocates of "BoSs
John" wear long face. Our people
are tired of being ruled by wire-work-
ers and demagogues, and if the dem
ocracy of the great state of Texas do
not nominate better man than John
Ireland, she will have for the next
governor Wash Jones or somebody
else. Why shall we nominate man
that his whole political career, from
legislator to governor, has been a
failure. A man that will force from
the democratic ranks at least one
third of the party. Has not the
broad state of Texas men that will
equal Ireland for governor? 1 an
swer yes; most any county in the state
could put forth man far superior to
the present governor. Ireland carried
Hays county in the last election
against Wash Jones by small ma
jority, but can he carry it again ? the
echo answers no. Ireland has a few
"pets here that does the "wire-pull
ing of the county. They are among
the best talent OF our community, bnt
like Ireland, they have dropped on
the wrong side of the fence.
If John Ireland is nominated for
governor, Texas democracy is nc
longer solid. Can we not find man
that will have our laws enforced, in.
stead of advising men to take the law
in their own hands and shoot men
down like midnight assassins."

TEXAS RAILWAYS.

GALVESTON, July 31.-The Gulf
Colorado 81 Santa Fe railway, will to-
morrow announce The contamination
of reciprocal traffic arrangements with
the Gould lines throughout the south
west. Several changes!in time schedules
on the Missouri Pacific lines
will go into effect to morrow to con-
meet with the Santa Fe train. These
lines, as it is well-known, have been
vigorously antagoniziDg each other
for a number of years past. The new
arrangement apparently strengthens
the Gould system, and at the same
time operates to the great advantage
of the Santa IFe lines by
adding through passenger and freight
traffic to its heavy local business.
In connection with the above change,
it is rumored that Pullman sleepers,
now being run on the Texas Central
will at a near day be transferred to
the Santa Fe line.
An exhibition game of base ball was
played this afternoon between the
Galvestons, of Galveston, and the
Nationals, of Houston, resulting in
two runs for the Galvestons while the
Houston boys scored only one. 1t
was necessary to play eleven innings
to decide the game. Up to the tenth
inning the score stood a tie-nothing
to nothing. A large audience wit
messed the exciting game.
