Tn Victoria Advocate views the
Gulf road from purely mercenary
view, and says; "'Ihe Aransas Pass
road is now actually in progress, con-
struction contracts for the first 20 miles
having been let. President Lott states
that as soon as the engineer corps COM
pletes their work, 80 additional miles of
road-bed will be placed under contract.
This will take the line to the mouth of
the Eclato creek, six miles this side of
Helena, karnes county, and is expected
to command the trade from Yorktown
to Beeville. As the policy OF the pro-
iectors OF the enterprise will be to Sc
cure every dollar possible in the way of
subsidies, it is likely that the route from
near Helena Is MS yet undetermined,
ami will be largely controlled by the in
ducements offered by towns located in
the counties to be traversed. Should
/ the management discover-as they most
| probably will-that this is not exactly
/ the most favorable time to secure sub
scriptions, it seems likely that the coast
/ termination will not be reached for
some years, II ever. At all events, the
/ progress Of the road will necessarily be
slow, and the beginning OF work is by no
means conclusive evidence that the sec
tlon west Of this city is to be at once
brought into railroad communication

Is wrong in the reasons given for high

not better here than in the North. The
ILou1 has its Information from wool

They say that wool is lighter here and
better sorted and put up. Hence, the
prices. lfthis wool does not sell itself,
how II It sold? 1t is the quality and
condition and quantity what brings
large numbers Of buyers and creates II
competition. The professional wool
buyer judges wool on its merits on
which 1t is bought. The high standard
OF the wool in this market is what made
1t sell from two to four cents higher
than in other markets in the State.

\ NA-IiINGToN letter to the Philadel-

department who figures at present as u
veilcd mystery. She Is described rs n
person Of magnificent presence and tall,
line figure" who looks az II she might

has her face cnyeloped in thick veil;
in the Office or out, at work or walking
through the halls, the veil Ia never re-
moved, and the efforts of her inquisitive
fellow clerks to peep under it are vain.
Many susceptible young men, struck by
her tine figure, have quickened their
step to catch up with her in the halls,
only to lind her face hid from sight, No
one can tell whether she Is old or young.
The motive for conCealing her features
il not known. Whether, like the Yelled
Prophet, she seeks to hide vision OF
ugliness, or whether she has some other
reason, is n mere matter OF conjecture
To which the New York Sun Vouches
the information "She will discard the
veil as soon as her eyes get better. The
mysterious lady halls from Kentucky,
