to the Grand army OF the Republic,
formed in Richmond, Va, April, 1888,

The Art Amateur for February
contains a strikingly fine ideal por-
trait for oil painting, said to greatly
resemble the famous American beau
ty, Miss Chamberlain. Other designs
are child's head, snowballs and he
patica for china painting; doilies and
portfolio cover for embroidery, mar
igolds for wood carving, and some
charming figures for valentine cards
and sketching on linen. Ulysse Butin.
capital French painter of fishermen,
receives biographical notice, and some
interesting samples of his work are
given. Specially attractive features
are the page of 'rapid sketches" by the
Kit-Kat Club, and the illustrated arti-
cles on Alma-Tadema's house and Gin
cinnati pottery. Montezuma's Mote
Book" the musical and dramatic feuil-
letons and Clarence Cooks criticism

Will Try His Executive Ability,


The governor of Texas will now
have little more responsibility in all
this fence cutting affair. He has
money and power to act: what will
he dc with it?" This bill, while it is
better than nothing, is at the same
time not the one which the legislature
ought to have passed. The Terrell
bill was what was needed, and Texas
will regret for many a long day that
she did not pass it. 1t will be very
curious to note the effect of this legis-
lature on the fence cutters. There is
but one thing now for his excellency
to do, and that is to put it in force and
active operation at the very earliest
moment. 1t will have to be pushed
actively if any relief is to be had
The appropriation of $4,000 is all too
small. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars would not have been too
much. However, this is taste, and
will do much good, providing only
that it is well and automatically used
The governor cannot now complain
that he has no more power than pri-
vate citizen in the suppression of law
lessness. The bill referred to las
many objections, but it will severely
try the executive ability of Governor
Ireland.

to his venerable father-one of the
honored veterans of the war for
Texas Independence cane mace
from the altar of the old Alamo
church. The wood is mesquite, and

dressed the following letter to the
doner:
SENATE CHAMBER,
AUSTIN, Feb, 6. 1884.
Gen. II. p. Brewster, Austin, Texas:
MY DEAR FRIEND: AS a son OF
the recipient of the noble gift with
which you pleased me so much this
morning, thank you; and assure you
that my appreciation can only be eX-
ceeded by the gratitude of the old
veteran to a people, and to
you, with whom he has
shared the dangers and fortunes OF
life for half century, and whose
country he leaves like his children
leave it-who are all citizens to The
manor born.
May this stick serve him as sturdy
support in his declining age, and keeI
him above the grave for many years
and after his death be treasured by
his posterity in memory of the heroes
of Texas who fell at the Alamo, in the
cause of liberty and the independence
of Texas, and all the gallant sons Of
Texas who fought shoulder tt
shoulder in the battle of San Jacinto
With high regards, your friend,

of the Hungarian miners as exhibited
in late occurrence. 1t says: "One of
their number became seriously i'll, and
was placed in cold room with one

over him to keep him warm. Water
beside the sufferer froze to the depth
of four inches. Well persons could
not stay in the room on account of the
cold. There he was left to suffer till
death on Saturday came to his relief.

A great many people feel themselves

gradually failing. They don't know
Just what is the matter but they suffer
from a combination of indescribable
aches and pains, which each month
seem to grow worse. The only sure
remedy known that will counteract
this feeling and restore perfect health
is Browns Iron B,tters. By rapid as
sanitation it purifies the blood, drives
out disease, gives health and strength
to every portion reached by the circu-
latory system, renews wasted tissues
and restores robust health and
strength. d&w

Mr.. Lyman Warner, who received
such a frightful injury Tuesday by
a runaway team, has been taken to
the hospital and was yesterday feel
ing slightly better. The city physi-
clan, who is attending him, thinks
now that it is possible for him to re-
cover. The fracture of his skull is
rot so great as was supposed prior to
an extended examination. The outer
bone of the forehead just above the
eyes is broken considerably, and if the
bone beneath is not fractured or does
not press upon the brain he may be
able to pull through. He is not able
yet to speak but is in a state of semi
consciousness. There are no further
marks upon him that will cause any
serious effect than that stated above.
