street, and he came over.

"Didn't l jump into the river this

"Yes, sir, and pulled you out"

MIR. HUBERT II. BANCROFT, of Cali
fornia, who has spent lifetime and
fortune in gathering the material
for and writing a fill and reliable
history of the western part of North
America, is now making an extended
tour through Texas with the same
purpose in view, the state OF Texas
being included in his work. Mr.. Ban
croffs object in this visit is TO come
into personal contact with as many of
the leading men of Texas as possible,
and gather from them their ideas
and experiences regarding the his
tory of the country, its resources and
general development and any other in
formation pertinent to his great work
As this most laborious undertaking
is in every way highly beneficial to
the material aud intellectual interests
of the state, and as both Mr.. Bancroft
and his historical works are en-
dorsed by the highest authorities in
America and Europe, we bespeak for
him a hearty welcome aud efficient
aid.

ents) Romeo is not permitted to see
his Juliet for one moment alone.
With the parents consent, he may call
at stated Intervals and converse with
her in the presence of the family, but
though the betrothment is legal
ceremony, witnessed and recorded,
and almost as binding rs marriage
itself. not until the bymeneal knot is
securely tied eau he exchange aword
with her in private or attend her
anywhere in public. Such 'trfling
details as getting acquainted with
her tastes aud temper are reserved
for counubial bliss. And however
unsuitable the union may prove
there is no release bat death in this
Catholic country, where enforcement
is impossible. Naturally, domestic
tragedies sometimes occur, bat truth
compels us to admit that they are far
less numerous than in our own land,
where every opportunity is afforded
for thorough acquaintance before
marriage. The reason lies in the diff
ferent education of the weaker sex.

The contest between the News
and the Herald for the business of
north Texas Is one of the most ride
ulous ever witnessed. The idea that
these two papers contain matter any
morning in excess Of the Fort Worth
papers worth the expense OF special
train, or even special arrangement
to transmit, is the veriest bosh. The
whole state is still laughing at the con-
temptible exhibition. After while
the disgust will come. 1t is amazing,
this nonsense. The fac is there is
not business enough in Dallas or
from that point to make fortune
for one Of them, and with both in the
field, disaster is bound to overtake
one, and perhaps both. Better n.y.
phenate, and do 1t very promptly.
