How Texas Came into the Union.

Taat usually accurate and judicious
paper, the Cleburne Chronicle, says:
"Whe Texas was admitted into the
UNION it was under q solemn contract
that whenever she desired TO withdraw
from The u0ion she could do so. y
Could the Chronicle produce such a
contract 1t would rank as one Of the
most curious secrets in diplomacy
The articles of annexation passed by
the United States congress simply pros
vided for the admission OF Texas 'as
one of the States Of this union ander
certain conditions; but not a word
was said of the right of the state to
secede. As the precise manner in
which the republic of Texas became a
state of the American union is UNI
kL own to most of the present genera
ton, brief rccapitulation of the facts
may be of interest to many. After
various negotiations on the subject
the United States congress passed a
joint resolution declaring that the ter
ritory belonged to the republic of
Texas might be erected into a new
state and be admitted into the union
on certain conditions, including the
cession by Texas to the United States
of public edidees, such as fortified,
tons, barracks, forts and harbors,
navy and navy yards, docks, maga~
zines, armament and all other property
and means pertaining to public de-
Tense, Texas to retain all her public
lands, funds, debts, taxes aud dues Of
every kind. Texas, through her cons
gress and a convention, accepted the
conditions. The final act of the Uni
ted States congress on the subject de-
clares that Texas is admitted into
the union on an equal footiag with
the original states in all respects
whatever" Nothing was said of the
right Of any state TO withdraw from
the union when Texas was admitted.

A Nice Bill OF Fare.
New Haven Union.

1t was at a country hotel in Penn
sylvania. The single stranger who
sat down at dinner was amazed when
the waiter handed him printed bill
of fare which began with oyster soup
and clam chowder and ran down to
four kinds of pie and chocolate ice
cream.
'I'l take oyster soup, said the
guest.
Eyes, but we haven't got any," re-
piled the waiter.
Very well, give me clam elbows
der"
eve are out of that, too,
Then bring me baked whitefsh,
fried sausage, Saratoga potatoes,
French wheat rolls, ribs of beef, and
cup OF coffee '
We haven't got any, sir. All we've
got is beef steak, billed taters, and
bakers bread and coffee
At that moment the landlord enters
ed the room, and the guest called
out.
"See here, landlord, but what sort
OF trick is this2'
"What2 On, that bill of fare. My
dear sir. let me explain. My uncle
kept seaside hotel, and he failed.
