Patti IN Dallas.

There is misrepresentation abroad
about signing the paper asking that
Patti come to Dallas. Some think that
you must subscribe the price OF q
ticket or become in some way obi
gated. Such is not the case. The fol-
lowing is what you sign:
"The famous songstress, Patti, will
appear in Galveston during the latter
part of December. 1t is natural for
the music,loving people of Dallas to
feel desire to have her visit this city
when in Texas, as 1t is hardly
probable she will ever again
come this far south. To secure
the lady it Is necessary to show such
an interest in the matter that will i'm
press her manager with the fact that
an engagement here will be remuner-
alive. II is earnestly hoped that as
many signatures rs possible will be at
fixed to this statement which will be
forwarded to PATHS manager Mr..
Abbey as attest of the public demand
for one night with the world renown-
ed diva"
There were about 200 signatures
this morning. They are such sigma
lures as can be relied upon. While
there is no direct money obligation, it
is Of course understood that those who
put their names to the paper do it in
good faith.

this morning, who informed him that

existence. Mr.. Roberts said he had
several fat steers for that purpose.

it is taking trade sway from Paris and

Written for THE ARKANsAw TRAvRLAR. LORD TENNYSON AS A SPRING
 POET.
BY HAL BERTE.

The recent appearance of a new volume of poems by the poet laureate has re- minded me of sad shirking of responsi- bility on my part. Some time ago His Lordship called me to him and whis- pered that if liked could communicate to THE ARKANsAw TRAvELER that it was his intention to write a spring poem before he died. said would do SO, but somehow it entirely escaped my mind until looked his new book through and saw poem entitled " Early Spring"
 Is it not strange when we come to think of it that Lord Tennyson should have tarried so long ere he tuned up to sing on the one subject over which poets usually rave while teething Seventy seven summers pass over his head and 10 ! in his wintertide comes poem redo- lent with the breath of spring.
 Some years ago the laureate startled the land with masterpiece commencing "I stood on tower h the wet" Then a few insignificant pieces followed, and matters went on in a commonplace way until the crowning effort appeared in the shape of some Lines on the Fleet" Tennyson has written much, but it is questionable whether anything created such remarkable sensation as did these two poems. It is only when we compare them with such trifles as "In Memoriam," :" Enoch Arden" or "The Charge of the Light Brigade" that we are enabled to judge of their overwhelming claims to distinction.
 l have no desire to criticise the laure- ate's spring piece minutely-iti is not my intention to become minute critic un- til my failure as a writer is assured-but l do hope His Lordship will pardon me vixen l publicly announce that his spring effort is not to be compared either to the /" Tower in the Wet" lines or those On the Fleet" Neither can it be compared to the trifes have alluded to. It stands about half way. It is, as it were, a sort of halfway house between the poets noble best and his ignoble worst. As a winter effort it is good but it might have been far better spring poem had it been written in the springtide of the laureate's career.

 Let me see where you were struck, said Ben,iy. The stage driver removed bandage from his head and the colonel examined the wound. It wasn't much of blow, Martin" the colonel remarked : It wouldn't have cracked peanut"
 "Oh, yes, it would, sir. It would have cracked cracked-two uv them"
 " Martin" said the colonel, "I don't think that can trust you any longer. You are too easily robbed, and to tell you the truth, don't know but that you are perfectly willing"
 "Great heavens, colonel, don't say that I've got wife an chillun ter suppo't an ef shat you've gist said wuster git out l would be ruined. dunno but Pm ruined anyway he added with whine. " I've driv a stage so long that don't know how to do nothin' else. Wifell be nightly bothered cause you've turned me of. Don't know"
 Well, we'll" the colonel interposed, "go ahead. No, never mind wringing my hand. Mark you, now, that want you 10 take better care of my interests"
 The driver, after many expressions of gratitude, took his leave.
 !" I'd like to see set uv fellers rob a stage that had anything to do with," Mir. Honeycut remarked. "I ain't much on the fight, but nobody never took nothin' away from me yit."
 It is easier to talk than to act" the colonel replied.
 "Yas, that's so, but wouldn't mine takin' holt uv such a job. Kain't give me set, ken yer?"
 Not at present, MT. Honeycut
 " didn't know. Wall, I'll leave yer"
 When Mir. Honeycut was gone, the colonel, with an air of perplexity, walked up and down the room. A negro boy appeared and announced that supper was ready, but Bently needed him not. Dark ness came on, but the colonel still con- tinued his meditative walk. At length he said:
 Gansett, you must excuse my abstrac- tion. You doubtless appreciate my posi- ton. Come. let us go to supper"

 "TOSH BILLINGS"
BY R. P. EVANS.

But little while ago "Josh Billings" ," while yet in the glory of his manhood, wrote in regard to the death of |" Artemus Ward" Death, you have done cruel thing" But oh, how much more cruel does death seem to us of the younger generation, inasmuch as he with his re- morseless scythe has cut down while at the very zenith of his fame our own be- loved Josh. The world knew him as a humorist and philosopher. He, by his quaint sayings, queer but logical phi losophy, won his way through the paths of merit alone to the hearts of all true American citizens. In our own fancy his tomb shall be the Mecca at whose shrine we will yearly worship. Yes, he has gone on a long journey, he has joined the silent majority. But of his reticence, true worth and modesty of nature, the tender little blue violet that peeps low ingly from meath the headstone of his tomb will always be silent yet eloquent reminder. And the signing breeze through the leafy boughs of the weeping willow sings the sad but consoling re- quiem, that on the boundless shores oi eternity the sea of trouble casts not a
 wave of sorrow, hearts of dust do no, break, eyes that know not the touch oi tears do not weep." His life was good,

For THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.
 AT THE DRESSMAKER'S.
BY BENJAMIN BRoADAXE.

"My dear," said Mrs. Broadaxe, laying her hand affectionately on my shoulder
 pretended not to hear her and puffed away at my cigar, intent only on my newspaper. But Mrs. B. was not to be bafaed by any such littles ruses. She took hold of the paper, and gently taking it from my hand, folded it and laid it on the center table.
 "What in the name of Tom Scott, Hor. ace Greedy and Sam Jones, did you jerk that paper from my hand for ?" de manded in voice as much like thunder as could assume. But Mrs. Broadaxe was not to be frightened. She is brave little woman. tried to be tiger, but she still wouldn't scare.
 She came right up, patted the tiger on the head, and sat down on his knee. Be- fore hardly realized what she was about, she actually took the cigar from my mouth and kissed me on the cheek. l knew what was coming and began feeling for my pocket-book. Mrs. B. never kisses for nothing, and what was the use in one holding out, when knew would be forced to yield in the end.
 "How much do you want ?" asked in desperation.
 She smiled and taking my face be- tween her two small white hands said:
 It's not money this time."
 "Then what is it3" asked, trying to be savage again. But it's no use trying to frighten Mrs. B. She is brave.
 "I want you to go with me to the dress makers this afternoon"
 "To the dressmaker's-oh, dear, can't you enjoin some lighter penance on me than thatT
 She smiled and kissed me first on one cheek and then on the other-well, l con- sented.
 Twas fsol for doing it, but we all be- come fools sometimes.
 We started, and after going a block or two Mrs. B. turned about to give my per sonal appearance an inspection. She made me stoop until she turned back the collar of my coat to suit her taste, then she whisked me about, smoothed the wrinkles in my back, brushed the small particles of cigar ashes of my breast and gave me as much attention as if I had been a pet poodle, and finally said would do-to come on.
 We went to the fashionable shop of Mrs. Le Moyne, I following my wife and standing at the door and feeling as if ought to apologize, or wait until some body asked me to come in. Mrs. Le Moyne met Mrs. Broadaxe at the door, lifted her veil, kissed her and got her the best chair, and asked her to take off her wraps was she cold, and seemed very so- licitous about Mrs. R.'s comfort, but did not deign to notice me. Then Mrs. Le Moyne's assistant came and kissed Mrs. Broadaxe and asked about her health.
