The Cold Snap.

Texas has various varieties of soils
and climate, and is the largest state in
the Union. These three things are Pc
ouliar to her, especially her climate,
which for variety ina given space Of
time, cannot be equalled. The weather
of the past few days for sudden changes,
is calculated to make one credit the
story told by the old Arkansian, who
moved to the state with his OK
wagon in the heat of summer;
while driving along enc day it was 20
warm that one Of his oxen was pros
trated by the heat and died. He thought
he would skin 1t and save the hide, and
while he was thus engaged blue
norther began blowing and before he
finished the skinning its mate WAS
frozen to death This is slightly
everdrawn, yet IL gives one
some idea of Texas weather. We have,
during the past few brief days, had
"sprins time, gentle Annie" aud the
cold, chilly blasts Of hoary old winter in
such close proximity, that IL Is hard to
tell where we are on the weather map.
One day we are constrained TO pen IA
ode to spring, and the next like claim
ing the authorship of Beautiful Snow.
At this present iuncture the mercury
In respectable thermometers IL hover
Ing around about ~ degrees above zero.
The ground Is covered by light skim
OF snow, which fell yesterday morning.
The weather il very hard on stock, aud
great loss Is anticipated among herds
on ranches west, where there is no pre-
lection.

There will doubtless be large audi
ence at the opers-house tomorrow upon
the occasion of Mrs. Howe's address to
the military. The different companies
will march to the opera-house, escorted
by the George H. Thomas post.
The following letter speaks for itself,
written by an eminent clergyman in
California:
MY DEAR SIR-I have the pleasure
OF Introducing to your favor
able notice Mrs. Kate r.. Howe. Mrs.
Howe has been long known to me as
true, noble woman, possessing great
culture and refinement. Her lecture on
the Prodigal Son is a production of rare
power and beauty. Its faultless tech
nique, its sublime pathos will win all
hearts. &c, THOsT,

The LuckY Nmmher.

On arrival of the list of the Louisiana
State Lottery yesterday morning, at p.
P. Martinez's, his place appeared more
Ike banking house than cigar store.
The above gentleman was busy paying
OFF winning tickets. Among the lucky
men were Mr.. A. r. Hall, at Sanger
Bros, and Mr.. Fred Cheadles, shoe
maker ON Main street. Each Of these
gentlemen had one-tiith OF the Ne. 5l53
that drew the 10000 prize, and with
their $1,000 apiece they were happy. Mr..
Martinez cashed the tickets Mt their face
value, without any discount. We have
not learned who holds the other two
fit Of the $4,000 prize. MANY con
graduated Mr.. Martinez on having been
so lucky rs to sell this ticket, and Mr..
Martinez heartily returned the oongrat-
lations.

The Silver King attracted an audience
at the opera-house in spite of the very
cold evening. The play is interesting
and the plot well conceived. The lead
ing characters, Wilfred saad Nellie
Denver, were grandly sustained by MIR.
Bangs and Miss Behrens, whilst the
Spider and Godfrey Ware, the engineer,
had ample Justice in the rendition from
Mr.. Harry Cotton and Mr.. Han
ley. The beauty and mainly in
teresiing point of the play was
the outcome, when, after many years
of intense snfleriug and patient be-
pavement, the once disolule Denver
turns up in easy circumstances, and
well prepared TO enjoy life, after so
many years of enforced hardship. The
tone of the play is good-elevalin in
its morality, and calculated to produce
satisfied feeling among the audience as
to the final result. The matinee this
afternoon, as well as the play to night
will he, doubtless, we'll attended The
company deserve the success awarded
and to be awarded them.

Der OF families in the city in destitute

weather as this will be doubly accept
able. Mayor Cabell detailed police yes
terdsy morning TO look Tor and report

Cast something in the cause OF charity,
though it be only mite.
