The One at the Governors Mansion, Last
Night, n Success.
The lawn party given last night at
the governors mansion, for the pur-
pose of creating a fund, out of
which to replenish the public
library, was a success. The
spacious lawn, well as the mansion,
was lighted sup, the lawn with Chi
nese lanterns, with chairs and re-
freshments very costly located. The
tables were presided over by the
Misses Kate Carothers, Tommy Woo
ten, Fannie Carothers, Bessie Steiner,
Fleeey Phillips, Alice Goodwin,
Adele Steiner, Bernie Smith, Jessie
Driskill. Bette Driskill, Sallie Sea-
right. Derie Smith, Florence Whitis,
Bessie Weir, Rose. Staples, Lille
Daniels, Maud Wooten, Maggie Cas-
tleman, Gussie Hume, Flora Pre- ston
and Miss Kate SydDor, (of Houston).
There were between $50 and 200
people in attendance, princi-
pany young ladies and gentlemen, and
the evening passed pleasantly to all.
Mrs. Preston acted treasurer, and
right nobly did she fulfill the duties
of her post. The table of Miss Derle
Smith was the banner table of the
evening, bringing in the largest num-
Der of "sheckles" of any.
The receipts of the evening were in
the neighborhood of 800 or 1925. 1t
was fully IL o'clock when the last of
the company departed.

AS you ascend the stairs the eye
naturally turns to the I,Iinr d gallery,
where may be seen v:li ty of tanned
and beautifully ornami ted skins of

that comes under the head of the
chase. West is the ornamental art de-
partment, and here you can find the
handiwork of both the Gonzales boss
es, and worthy danes. Next in order
is the floral department, and so beau
tifully represented is lake, that the
lovers of angling can scarcely desIst
from casting their looks; beautiful
flowers and ferns peeping up amid his
toric rocks. Next is two very large
oil paintings, executed by Mrs.

From Correspondence OF Courier-Journal
The original colony of New South
Wales comprised the entire eastern
half of the continent. and the first set
Element was at Sydney, the present
capital. Botany Bay for lorg time
was, and, with many persons, is yet,
synonymous with convict settle
ment, but, as a matter OF fact, there
was never any settlement there, and
Sydney is entitled to the honor.
In 1851 the south western portion of
New South Wales was formed into
the colony of Victoria, and in 1859 its
northern portion into the colony of
Queensland. AS comprised at present,
New South Wales contains 10000
square miles, and in round numbers
has a population of 900, 600 souls,
which includes 1,643 aborigines, their
souls being so important they are put
down as odd by the census. and not in
round numbers. The coast line is 200
miles long, and the extreme breadth
is $50 miles; the greatest length 800
miles. at distance of % to 120mlleS
inland a range of mountains, 5000 to
1000 feet in height, stretches from
north to south. Its western slopes
are devoted to pasture purposes. The
eastern seaboard territory is undula-
ting, with rich alluvial flats, and is
adapted to every kind of cultivation.
Much of this portion rests on vast
basin of coal.
Situated in the temperate zone and
bounded on the east by the Pacific
ocean, the climate is mild and sub
tropical. 1t approximates that of
Southern Europe, but, being south of
the equator, the seasons are reversed
and 1t is now the beginning of winter.
In Sydney the winter is mild, the
mean annual temperature being GA
degrees. But by going inland one
can be accommodated with all varie-
ties of climate-pay their money and
take their choice. The death rate is
reported 12.15 per 1000; so should say
the climate is healthy. Here the air

their places. In this connection it
would break the colonial heart if did
not make some allusion to the South

A NOTABLE WEDDING.

A Son of the Poet Laureate Welded to
Miss Bayle at Westminster Abbey.
From Dispatch to the New York Herald.
The marriage of Mr.. Hallam Ten
nyson to Miss Audney Bayle was
soIemniz9d this morning at West
minister Abbey and proved to be
the leading society event of
the season. The bridegroom is the
eldest son of the poet laureate, Baron
Tennyson D'Eyncourt,. and was nam
ed for his fathers earliest and warm
est friend, Arthur Hallam, whose I'M
timely heath inspired the poem
I'm Memoriam." The bride
is the incarnation of youth,
health and beauty, possessing
every desirable attribute except for
tune, for shei is comparatively portion
less. In addition to the poet laureate
and scores of other lords, both tenn.
poral and spiritual, there were present
Premier Gladstone, Minister Lowell,
Mr.. Henry Irving, and host of
other celebrities. The bride was
charmingly attired in robe of
ivory-colored satin, covered with
Brussels lace, and a rich bridal veil,
with pearl and diamond ornaments.
There were ten bridesmaids, uniform
ly dressed in silk of the palest blue,
with Indian muslin overskirtS. The
bride received over 300 presents, in

riably beStow upon those brides whom

This COlored Leader Passes Through on
His Way to Chicago.
Richard Nelson, editor of tie Gal
weston Spectator, and one of the most
prominent colored men in the state,
is in the city enroute to Chicago. He
says that he is advised that Maj.
Ochiltree will be home from Washing
ton soon, and that if the prospects are
considered good for his reelection he
will run again, but if not he will not
make the race. Dick Nelson says the
report that he had Topped from Blaine
to Arthur during the Chicago conven-
ton was incorrect. He was always
an Arthur man, but had advocated
the claims of the Quincy delegates from
Galveston county to the state conven-
ton simply because they were in the
right. He says that his action was
understood by both factions at Gal
weston.

Widened the larry NIX, or the languor of
a warm climate has occasiOned it, l
know not, but there is a tendency to
leDgthen the vowels and monosylla-
bleS become dissvllabic. Yes become
ya-as. and now, how and COW becomes
na-ow, ha-ow and ca-ow. My is pro-
nounced as if it were spelledt with a
short j, and there is great tendency
to pronounce final g as if it were k;
example-nothink. They do not mod
ify the verb with an adverb and say
you are very nice" as we do, but. like
the English, they accent the auxiliary
and simply say "you are nice," etc.
The lower classes use the English
"cuss" words, and while they can not
swear as extravagantly or comprehen-
sively as an American, they are much
more obscene. The simple word
"bloody" has acquired vulgar signlti-
canoe; it is never used in polite socie-
ty, and in print always appears as
"b-y," and never written in full.
The women follow the English in
dress more closely than the men. The
latter follow their own inclination,
and you see a greater variety of styles
in Sydney in one day than you would
in London in week. The "Dell-top-
per-" or silk hat, is not so universal,
nor are tweeds of loud pattern, In
fact it would be hard to name any
special style as peculiarly colonial. L
notice tendency to wear high-croWn
felt hats, low-quartar shoes and suits
of light material.
To enumerate the resources OF New
South Wales would require time and
patience. Her mineral fields are I'M
known in extent and have not been
developed as in Victoria, but the IN
come from coal and gold is enormous.
| Wool is the chief industry, and has
more capital invested IN it than IN any
one direction in the colony. In addl-
ton to exporting the wool they are
now shipping to the English market
cargoes of frozen meat. While still In
its infancy this enterprise promises to
pay handsome dividends. In some
sections scab has appeared in the sheep,
and stringent measures have been
adopted to prevent it's spread. The
government seized and destroyed
whole flockS and quarantined sheep
were subjected to wash consisting
of one pound each of tobacco and sui
phur to five gallons OF water. Judg-
| ing from newspaper accounts it will
be a continuing plague, and 1nfalllble
sheep dips are in order.
The constantly recurring drouths,
however, are more serious obstacle
to successful sheep raising than all
diseases combined. The present Grouth
Just broken up was most disastrous
one. In some districts of the Colony
rain had not fallen for three years, and
in the majority not for twelve
month. The amount of suffering and
loss it occasioned can not be reckoned.
The pastoral and grazing interests
were Indirectly affected. Water can
be found by boring, but this is ques-
/ ton demanding government assist
ance and control, and 1 am surprised
they do not give their attention to it.
