"FRoM THE NORTH"
What the Disguised. Native VIII Have
to Say Of the Texas Capitol.

San ANGELO, TEX, June 4. 1885.
To the Editor OF the Gazette:
Those newspapers that protest 81
vigor ously against sending to Indians
for stone to build the capitol of Texsi
seem to lose sight Of the generous i'm
pulse that dictated such a course
Besides the desire to observe the lonp
established custom of sending North
for everything we need, Texas In COM
mon with her sister sovereign states
wishes to assist the people OF her less
providentially favored sisters of the
North in their struggle for existence
It Is not that we are destitute OF natur'
al resources or the ability TO convert
them into available wealth that deters
Texans from becoming the slaves Of
the loom and forge, but our generous
nature impels us to pour our surplus
wealth OF plain and field into
the laps of our less fortunate Northern
friends TO enable them TO maintain the
battle of life.
What would become OF the descend
ants Of the Mayhower II we did not
permit them 10 tan our hides and
make our shoes /; to spin our wool and
cotton and make our clothes TO take
our rags and make our paper? How
distressing 1t would be TO our Northern
friends If we did not permit them to
pack our meats and twist our hemp
and tobacco, and supply US with every
article Of household use, from pins to
pianos? What would theyi do II we
did not consume their canned goods,
fruits and fish, buy their guns, books,
machinery, tools, Implements and no.
tiops, take their pills and nostrums,
and drink their beer and whisky?
How would their capitalists fare IL
we did not pay them interest on our
bonds, use their money, donate them
our lands and permit them 10
build our telegraph lines and railroads
and do a hundred other things TO
make them happy? After bestOwing
this host OF benefits, why should we
begrudge our Hoesier friends a few
beggarly thousands for the use OF their
stone In ornamenting our capitol?
Texas has no occasion to count PEN
nies; the resources OF the state are in
exhaustable, and we can live like
princes on 20 per cent. OF our income,
and cheerfully scatter the remaining
no per cent. among our dependents.
For magnificent generosity and un-
stinted prodigality, the South stands
nre-emInenl; and feeling IT Is her mis-
sion TO support the North, she cheer

A SECOND PENELOPE.
Noble Instances Of the Constancy Of
Man and Of Woman.

During the past week two weddings
have taken place in our city that are
worthy of more than mere notice In
the puff column. On last Tuesday
County Clerk Swayne issued marriage
licenses for two couples, namely: VIM.
J. Jones and Della Rogers, and II. A.
Phillips and Jane Gilpin. These
young people are all English, and in
some respects. at least, are examples
of fidelity to each other, that make
them, in this country, and this age
especially, worthy of the admiration
ofgood people.
Mr.. Jones and Miss Rogers had
not seen each other for three years,
she remaining in Indiana, while he
came on to the great new Southwest
and opened up for her and
himself h home at CoRlvllle, Tex.
When this had been done and
she notified, like true-hearted and
faithful spouse, babe adieu TO all en-
deared surroundings, came from Terre
Haute, Ind, TO this city to meet and
be united In holy wedlock 10 him, who,
for the long, lonely years, had held the
affections Of her young womanly heart
They were married at the parsonage OF
the Ninth Street Methodist church by
the pastor last Thursday.
There Is still more of the romantic
attached 10 the history OF the second
couple. Twelve long, long years ago,
they plighted their then child hearts
TO each other. He crossed the blue
waves of the briny deep In search OF
the "Eldorado OF the West,n and final.
ly located In our own "faraway Lone
Starr After more than decade OF
lonely waiting, with q fidelity rs true
as that Of a Penelope, this noble En-
glish girl braves the storms OF old
ocean and sails toward the setting sun
to meet and wed the object OF her only
aud early love. This she succeeds In
doing, after a voyage of fifteen days
and 1000 miles, at IL o'clock p. M,
June 8, In the psrlor of the Metropoli-
tan hotel In this city.
Think Of this, We fair damsels Of
Anne rlca, who love romance and novel
reading, and admire the pluck. energy
and fidelity of these fair English
maidens, and let your hearts take a
lesson on fidelity and pluck.
Such girls will never faint under any
adversely. They will never desert
husband and home for the romance
OF trying another" They will never
DO disturbed by the sentiments Of free
loveisn. In short, they are the kind
Of girls that are the fit mistresses OF
the homes Of all branches of valuable
society.
And he, too, worthy model for the
tickle young man Of to-day.
