Courtship Drifting womanward.

From the Bellville, CTex.) Times.
A writer in the Home journal be-
lieves that the old-fashioned court
ship Is passing away, and after asking
what are to be the regulations of
courtship during the transitional
epoch, answers as follows "Nomi-
nally and theoretically the man still
does all the counting, but really and
practically women are taking the
matter in their own hands. Enough
of the restraint of chivalry has re-
manned to prevent them from openly
proposing marriage to the object of
their choice; but there are thousand
ways in which a lady of tact may WOO
and yet not transcend the bounds of
etiquette. The present method is a
! hybrid between the one-sided counting
of knightly days and the custom
which will prevail when women have
their proper position in the perfected
society of the. future. In a word,
courtship is now drifting woman
ward, by which we mean that the
ladies will constantly take a more
active part in it, until the day when
woman shall have her rights, the
most important of which is marriage
1t will be as common for women to
offer their hand to men as it is fol
men to propose to women. o! lucky
day for bashful bachelors!

Mahone's Crown of Glory

From the Richmond State (Dem.)
Malone wished to have all the
glory(?) of breaking up the solid
south. That is, he wished to have all
the glory of leading the southern
states into the republican party, but
of course he wanted all the help he
could get. So Malone drew Gen. j.
r. Chalmers, of Mississippi, rene
gade, into his confidence, and the two
were to work together to deliver the
south over. Well, it turns out that
Malone and Chalmers, the two trail
tors, are coming to the end of their
tether together. Malone has lost his
grip in Virginia. Chalmers has lost
his grip in Mississippi. The latter is
candidate for congress from the
second congressional district of Mis-
sissippi. He is full-fedged repubii-
can, though. it has not been long since
he was a professed democrat. His op-
ponnent is Judge ]. b. Morgan. q
staunch democrat and manly man
From all accounts Morgan will be
elected by a large majority, an6
Chalmers will, like Malone, soon sinl
out of notice.

Sunshine in Stables.

From the N. Y. Tribune.
Sunlight is the great vivifer and
purifier of nature. "It is pleasant to
behold the sum-" and the cruelist pun
iShment is to be immured in the dark
dungeon. We should think of this
when arranging stables and pens for
our animals. Horses have lost their
sight by being kept in dark stables
from which they had been brought
out suddenly into the glazing sun
light, perhaps on to the snow, which
has reflected it with binding force.
My COW stable faces the south and has
broad windows all along the front,
which let in the sun, and on cold
winters day the warm sun shines in
full on the COWS, which lie and bask
in it. If let out they hasten back
from the yard and will go direct to
their stalls and lie down. l don't
know precisely how much more but
ter this sunshine makes, but as my
winter dairy has averaged me ten
pounds per week per COW for some
years past, give some Of the credit
to the bright sunny stable and the con-
tentment Of the cows. There is no
other animal that 80 delights in the
bright, warm sunlight as lamb. a
poor, weak, wailing thing, unable to
stand, if only left in a warm sunshine
will gain strength, and in an hour OF
two will be dancing around the pen
The shepherd would do wen to make
note of this, for it is worth to him
beyond a question, at least ten per
cent of his crop OF lambs, which the
warm sunlight, let into the pens, ever
in January, would save from an early
grave

New England This was great
point to attract emigrant5 and build
log CAPITALISTS; just as capital had
been attracted to Alabama when it
was ascertained that the coal of Ala
bama was as good as that of Pennsyl-
vania. He was having some pottery
made from Texas clay that would
compare favorably with that OF any
country. He had ascertained how
many water courses there were in the
state suitable for manufactures. He
might speak all night on our advant-
ages, such as were calculated to
attract capital and settlers to Texas.
He concluded by making an appeal
to all present to give some of their
time and contribute something of
their means to the end that Texas
may be well represented at the New
Orleans exposition. Austin especially
should make an exhibit worthy of
the capital city of the great empire
state.
Col. Elliott said there would be at |
least 100000 visitors to the exposition |
from Texas, and seven millions per-
haps from the whole country. He
wanted the people to advise Tort
night in advance of their coming,
what room would be required for
families; how long they wanted to re
main, ETC., so he could have board and
quarters provided for then without
extortion. He said in answer to in
quires there would be special cotton
premium (amount not yet fxed) that
rates would be one fare for
the round trip. In answer to Mr..
Bowen, he said he would be pleased to
have each county send any one desired
10 take charge of its special exhibits,
and that every facility would be at
torded such agents.
Col. Elliott's address was well re-
,eived and doubtless excited renewed
interest in the exposition.

ing not only large local appropriations
from the citizens of New Orleans and
the legislature of Louisiana, but also
a million of dollars from the general
government in aid of the undertaking.
He wanted Texas to be represented
like bride making her debut, in her
best apparel. He was proud to say
that in exhibits so far presented, that
of Texas in many things surpassed
them all. When these things were
known, and the merits of our exhibit
are canvaSSed, the result would be
that Texas would be preferred as the
home of emigrants from other states

The Dodge City Trail.

From the Colorauo rdrMer.
But an occasional bunch of cattle
will be driven north from Texas from
now until next season, as the drive is
practically over. A correspondent
says that at the Red river crossing of
the Dodge City trail there have crossed
up to date 153 herds, containing 1884,
227 head, not counting horses. He
has kept a record since 1877, and says
the smallest drive over this trail was
in 1879, when only ITO, 600 head crossed,
and the largest in 1882, when 415,OOO
crossed. These figures, of course, do
not embrace shipped cattle. A good
many beef cattle have gone east, but
much smaller proportion than usual
on account of the low prices prevail
ing-at Chicago.

How a Cholera Patient Feels

Quain's Dictionary of Medicine.
The patient feels well up to within
few hours of the attack, or, it may
be, goes to bed and sleeps soundly
through the night and Immediately on
rising in the morning is seized with
violent purging and vomiting. If
judiciously treated, many patients
recover from this, the first stage of
cholera; but if neglected, the tenden-
cy of the disease is to grow rapidly
worse. The patient complains of
intense thirst and burning heat
at the pit of the stomach; he
suffers also excruciating pain from
cramps in the muscles of the extremi-
ties; he is terribly restless; and his
urgent cry is for water to quench his
thirst, and that some one might rub
his limbs, and thus relieve the muscu
lar spasm. The pulse is rapid and
very weak, the restrictions are hurried,
and the patients voice becomes husky.
His countenance is pinched, and the
integument of his body feels ineIastic
and doughty, while the skin of his hands
and feet become wrinkled and purplish
in color. The duration of this, the
second stage of cholera, is very uncer-
tain-it may last for two or three
hours, or may continue for twelve or
fifteen hours; but so long as the pulse
can be felt at the wrist there are still
fair hopes of the sick persons recovery.
The weaker the pulse becomes, the
nearer the patient to the third or col
lapse, stage of cholera from which
probably not more than 30 per cent.
recover. In the third state of the dis
ease the vomiting and purging con-
tinue. although in mitigated form;
and the skin is covered with clammy
preparation, especially if the cramps
are still severe. The patient remains
terribly restless, longing only for
sleep, and that he may be supplied
with water. His intellect is clear;
but he seldom expresses any anxiety
regarding worldly affairs, although
fully conscious of the dangerous con.
dition he is in. Sleep and plentiful
supply of drinking water are the sole
desires CT person passing through a
collapse stage of cholera. This condi-
ton seldom lasts more than twenty
four hours, and reaction either COM
mences within that period or the pa
tient dies in collapse, or passes on into
the torpid stage, which is ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred ends speedily
in death. On the other hand the sick
person having been in the collapse
stage of cholera some tWenty-four
hours Git may be longer or shorter
period, the temperature of his body
NAV begin to rise, gradually creeping
I'D to the normal standard; the
functions of animal life are slowly re-
stored, and the sick person RECEIVERS
his health.
