WOMEN IN TEXAS.

There are great many handsome
men in Texas. The free, outdoor
life, with much horseback riding,
gives them good forms, clear eyes
and compilations. There is great
deal of native intelligence and good
thinking. The women among the
well-to-do classes appear to live
mostly indoors. Even in cities very
few are seen on the street or in the
stores. They are not as often rosy
checked as the men, but much
oftener powdered. Living with
doors and windows open large part
Of the year, and in houses all the
year that let in the air on every side,
it seems strange that they do not
look fresher. At one place, where
the railroad missed the town mile,
and all the stores had been taken to
the depot, we asked how they got to
the stores through the mud.
"Oh, we never go; the men go
on horseback and they do the buy
ing"
SO it is not uncommon to see men
buying dress goods, stockings and
other articles for women's wear.
Good help is scarce and the women
usually do the housekeeping in few
rooms, everyone of which has one or
more beds in it. Their timidity is
SO great that they object to two
story houses " because the wind
blows" For recreation many dip
snuff and read stories. Old snuff
clippers look snuff colored. Among
the poorer classes women work in
the fields at cotton raising. Hoeins
and picking are done by hand, and
what one man can plant and pillow
several hands are required to hoe
and pick. But raising cotton is
clean farm work. There are nc
briars to scratch, nor juice to stain
the hand. The STOPPING is tiresome
but less SO than picking strawberries
Children are valuable pickers, being
nimble and of suitable height. W.
have seen little girls who had picket
hundreds of pounds, with sunbon
nets and mits on in the hot sun, who
were not tanned at all. In year,
when the crop is good wages arr
high, and many well-to-do womel
go out and pick cotton. They ar
paid by the 100 pounds Woman
Journal.

Dear Sir,-I write to inform you that

"Seigel's Syrup" For some years have
suffered from liver complaint, with its
many and varied concomitant evils, so
that my life was perpetual misery.
Twelve months ago was induced to try
Scigel's Syrup, and although rather
sccptical, having tried so many reputed
infallible remedies, determined to give
it at least fair trial. In two or three
days | felt considerably better, and now
at the end of twelve months (having
continued taking iD am glad to say
that l am different being altogether.
1t is said of certain pens that they "come
as boon and a blessing TO men" and
have no reason to doubt the truthfulness
of the statement. ] can truly say, how
ever, that Seigel's Syrup has come as a
"boon and Il blessing" to me. | have re.
commended it to several fcllow-suffcrers
from this distressing complaint, and
their testimony is quite in accordance
with my own. Gratitude for the benefit
! have derived from the excellent pre-.
paration, prompts me to furnish you
with this unsolicited testimonial.

Yours ever gratefully,

The Republican Senators say that the Re-

to treat the Presidents nominations fairly.
They propose, however. to reject offensive
partisans appointed in the place of often
sive partisans. There is no disposition to
delay action on the Presidents nOmina-

WARRINGTON, Dec. 5.-The House eau
Gus of Republicans to-day nominated
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, for Speaker.
There were los members present. Upon
the first ballot Mr.. Reed had SO votes, MIR.
Hiscock AZ, and Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas, 3.
Mr.. Hiscock moved to make Mr.. Reeds
nomination unanimous. This was carried.
Mr.. Price, of Wisconsin, offered a res
olutlon for the appointment of a commit
tee of three members TO prepare and urge
the passage of bill guarding against the
possibility of vacancy in the Office OF
President OF the United States, but sub
sequently withdrew it, and offered the
following, which was adopted without
opposition:
ResOIced, That it is the sense of this caucus
that immediate action be taken by the Forty
ninth Congress to provide for the presidential
succession.
PENSIONS FOR MEXICAN VETERANS.
On motion of Mr.. Thomas, of Illinois,
the following resolution was adopted:

BLAINE'S HANDIWORK.
Some of Frank Hiscock's friends think
they saw the hand Of Mr.. Blaine in the
defeat of Mr.. HiscOck. They account for
Mr.. Reeds unexpected Western support
in this way, and they see Mr.. Blaine's
management even more plainly in the
aspirations made by William Walter
Phelps, of New Jersey, before the vote was
taken in which he named Mr.. HiscOck
as the Speaker of the Fiftieth Congress.
This produced a sensation in the caucus.
Several members arose and said that they
thought the Fiftieth Congress might be
left to choose its own Speake~. One
speaker said that it was enough for them
to attend to the business of the Forty.
ninth. This speech of Mr.. Phelps hurt
Mr.. Hiscock. Mr.. Hiscock's friends think
it was intended.
