| Some idea Of the size of the Pension

gest inaugural ball ever given in this

be got from the fact that St. Peters, at

hold about $4,000. Just now it is a
wilderness of scanolding, but order is

dreamed OF as that of the great court
yard rooted over. 1t is surrounded by
large balconies supported by III pill
lars. The space under these balconies
makes a magnificent promenade.
The President will enter the room
by the north door, which will be Gflped
with crimson silk curtains. The op-
posite door will be concealed by a gi-
gantic mirror. These entrances are

White House will furnish unlimited

and the dais will have over it a canopy

on the wall will be covered with bunt-
ing, and the eight great pillars, reach
ing from floor to roof, will be covered
with silica TO represent marble. The

THE ALAMO.

There is a let-up in regard to the
Alamo somewhere. The state bought
the property some two years ago, over
considerable opposition, but the country
believed and still believes the state
ought to own spot to consecrate in the
hearts of the people by many ties,
crowned by one unsurpassed in history.
1t is now said that the buildings are not
cared for and are in process OF decay. 1t
will be remembered that as an induce
ment to the purchase by the state, a
committee representing the council and
citizens of San Antonio, headed by the
lamented MAI. Jos. Il. DwYER, an hon
ored native of that city-his father q no
ble-hearted Irishman, his mother an
amiable Mexican lady--pledged the city
Of San Antonio, in all time to come, tC
care for, protect and preserve the his
toric grounds and edifices in trust fol
| the state. Such is our recollection o.
the facts, and If they are correct, the
council and people of the ancient city
will most assuredly not tarnish its bril-
liant record ofnearly two hundred years
by reniging from their voluntary ant
patriotic obligation. We cannot at
tribute such Punic faith to them with
out the proof.

A " CONSTITUENT" has sent in COM
munication on the subject of the Blair
bill, which is published in another place.
Our correspondent is gentleman of in
telligence, but the HERALD thinks he
has wrong views on the expediency of
the passage of this bill. so far as the state
of Texas has an interest. Waving the
very doubtful question of constitution
atty of the measure, it must be remem-
bered that the large school fund of Texas
has TO be set against her before she can
commence to receive a quota. The
bill might benefit some southern
states, but Texas would have to pay
out more in indirect taxation than she
would collect. AS to the opposition to
the bin coming from men who are nat
ural enemies of education, the state
mont of the correspondent must be
modified. The HERALD does not re-
member representative or senator
from Texas who is not warm advocate
of public instruction, and proud of his
achievements in the educational direc-
ton.

stocks most affected in sympathy were
the Wizards, Northern Pacific preferred
and Oregon Trauscontinental. Oregon
Navigation sold down 81 from yester-

THE bill introduced into the senate
the corporation laws of the
state is, in some of it's provisions, almost
and yet it has passed to
engrossment. AS it is understood, it
prevents the incorporation of railroad
construction companies. What evils fol-
low such corporations it is hard to deter
NINE, nor would such law in this state
prevent the formation and incorpora-
ton of such companies in other states
that could prosecute their work in Texas.
What objection can be urged against
an incorporated company for the en-
couragemento Of agriculture and horticul.
ture? But the most senseless, it seems
to the HERALD, of all the provisions
is the one prohibiting companies being
incorporated for the improvement 0
the breeds of animals. If there is an,
} one thing more desirable than another
and one that would prove Of incalcula
BILE value to Texas, it is the improve
ment of the stock in the state. Whs
object such legislation can have upo
the great interest of Texas but tc retar
$ the introduction of fine stock, is hard
Q determine. 1t is to be hoped the legi
n lature will not act upon the bill hastil
D or without mature consideration.

that farmer or stock raiser should be
