II is now said by some that the Rev.
Mr.. Brown, of Albany, was "vilified"
by some of the Texas papers because
they protested against his gross mis-
representations of the drouth troubl IS.
Ifhe was correctly reported, he was
very free wi ththe truth when he said
there were 100000 starving people in
north Texas The injury done the
state by Rev. Brown cannot be esti-
mated.-Fort Worth Mail.
The HERALD knows Rev. Mr.. Brown
and also understand the situation in
the west, from observation and con-
versation with representative farm
ers: and believes that the country is
much the greatest sufferer of the two
from Mr.. Browns experience north.
The gentleman made very enthusias-
tic blunder.

DALLAS is destined to be in five
years just such bustling progressive
city as Kansas City of to-day. The
man who owns Dallas real estate
should try and hold it-not unim-
proved; but improve it. and con-
tribute your mite to the prosperity of
the city. Dwelling and business houses
are in great demand at good rents;
and no man should allow his real es-
tate to stand idle.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1886-12-10

If the owner of real estate cannot
improve all, let him think of selling
part to improve the remainder. In this
way the city is made to grow. Let
every property owner wake up, stir
around and give his influence and con-
tribution to railroad and mill enter
prises. There should be no drones in
the hive.

IT begins TO look as if there might
be combination to elect Reagan this
time and put Terrell in Coke's place
next term. Nice little scheme, but
will it work? Terrell could no more
fill Coke's place than he could induce
the people of Texas to even consider
such proposition.

LAKE WETTERN.
Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of Sweden.

A Bit of England Transplanted to the
Middle of Sweden.
One portion of the canal-that living
between Lake Wettern and Lake Roxen
was perhaps the most beautiful of all
The water was above the level of the
land, and we looked down upon a road
overshadowed by trees, with a charm
ing country beyond, and fertile gardens
adorned with profusions of flowers of
rich color that scented the air we passed
through. There were velvety lawns
and park-like grounds, and orchards
laden with cherry trees. We had found
nothing prettier of its kind; nothing that
looked so much like delicious bit of
England transplanted to the middle of
Sweden, fourishing under northern
skies. Every one went into a series of
crescendo harmonies of rapture, which
the Swedish ladies turned into IF dis
cords as they were waited out of reach
of those tantalizing cherry orchards
On some portions of our journey the
woods were magnificent; large, fine
trees stretching far as the eve could
reach, many of them oaks of splendid
growth.
When night had fallen we reached
spot where seven locks had to be passed,
giving time for walk under the stars.
Yet few were enterprising enough
to leave the vessel. Tall trees lined
the roadside. We'went down the rap
idly descending pathway, leaving the
steamer behind us. She looked weird
and monstrous in the surrounding
darkness, yet cheerful with all her side
lights, and mast lights and cabin lights
red, green and withdrawing out in
the blackness of night. And watching.
every now and then, as one lock was
closed and another opened, one saw
her gradually descending as by some
mysterious process, ten feet in the
world; then moving on to the next
lock; and there stationary again for a
time
We came to the end of the road, and
apparently to the end of all things. A
tiny pier and miniature lighthouse,
from which flashed beacon over tho
waters of Lake Roxen. There was not
a creature in sight, not a sound to be
heard, not " nightbird to clcave the
air with startling cry. Isolated, inf
ntoly sad and solitary looked the lake.

wp in that smalllighthouse.--Ar

4 Thrilling Mistake Which Co ntaIned a
Great Deal of Truth.


Great Deal of Truth.
Jones had written little local item
of social occurrence at his boarding
house, for the paper, and the next day
he called around to interview the editor
about it.
"Well," said that gentleman, ''your
notice was a good one, Mr.. Jones, and
we are always glad to have our friends
help us get all the news"
That what l thought" replied
Jones, land so sent it in; but there
was trifing mistake in the print"
"Ah, what was it? didn't notice. -"
'In that part where l had written
'as the guests were <oing out to supper,
you got it 'as the guests were going out
to suffer.
"Um-ah-yes-I did notice that, ="
said tho editor; "but, you sec, boarded
at that house three years, and when l
saw that going out to suffer- thought,
going out to supper wasn't any better,
so just left it that way"
Jones scratched his head a minute
thoughtfully, smiled softly, and asked
the editor to come out and have a
cigar. Merchant Traveller,

FASHION NOTES.
How Fashionable Women Dress Them
selves and Their Children.

selves and Their Children.
Wooden laces remain in vogue.
White MORE forms part of many
bridesmaids dresses.
Bonnets are worn at ladies' lunch
con parties, or should be.
A child's dress may be becomingly
grotesque, but lady's never.
Matelasse, Spanish. is an improved
imitation of the Escurial lace.
The fashion of making short mantles
of two stuffS is almost universal.
Piques for childreNs wear come in
clustered cord, repped, and sprigged
effects.
Picturesque short-waist, full-skirt
frocks are in favor for both large and
small girls.
Cream and beige are the favorite
colors for Egyptian laces, but they
come also in colors.
Few women can venture to dress out
of the conventional style without look
ing ridiculous.
Powered foulard and plaided and
checked summer silks are made up into
little girls frocks.
Notifications of the toilets of the
Louis XIV, Louis XVI, and Henri IL
periods are popular in Paris.
Stockings for little girls should be
black, dark h q, or drab brown, no
matter wha color of the frock
Large gil resses are only slightly
different fl those worn by their
older sisters and their mothers.
The low prices of Egyptian lace
makes it possible for any lady to have
an all-lace dress at a reasonable cost.
Sailor suits for large girls come in
white and dark-blue flannel, and in the
same style as those of last summer.
White MORE parasols. edged with
deep falls of pure white Valenciennes
lace are used by bridesmaids when the
wedding is in country church.
Morningrobes of yelling in any color
and any shade, from pure white and
cream to black, are trimmed tastefully
with cascades and falls of Egyptian
lace.
All-over tuclSings are of plain Main
sock or of lace, and, in every imagin-
able design of clusters and combina-
tons, are extremely simple or
elaborate to any degree desired.
The newest fancy imitation lace
founces are of matelasse, Spanish de-
signs, in black and cream color, and
in widths from ten to forty inches,
costing from S1.25 to 81 the yard.
Some mothers make up their little
girls frocks in comical exaggerations
of the prevailing styles, having the
waists cut off just below the armpits
and the skirts extending to the ankles,
while the high-crowned, heavily
trimmed hats and large sash bows COM
plete the grotesque, but pretty effect.
All-over tuckings, brought out by a
popular manufacturer in this city, may
be classed among the most attractive
labor-saving materials used for decora-
tive dress purposes. For yokes, sleeves,
guimpes, skirt panels, and entire
bodices these tuckings are invaluable
to the maker of ladies' and children's
wash frocks and dressy underclothing.

THE MUM ERALS.
origin of the Most Ancient Roman Figure
Marks.


When the noble Roman of remote
antiquity wanted to mark the number
oneihe drew single straight line or
digit to represent the uplifted fore
finger. In our modern type we print
|. For two he drew two digits, or
II; for three he wrote III, and four he
represented, not by w., which is
comparatively late innovation, but by
the good old clock-dial symbol, I'LL.
These, in fact, are nothing more than
Just the fingers of one hand. But how
about five? Why should it be repre-
sented by the apparently meaningless
symbol w Simply because V is not
V, but a rude hieroglyphic of one
hand, the broad stroke standing for the
four fingers united, while the narrow
one stands for the extended thumb.
V, in fact, is nothing more than a very
degenerate pictorial symbol, like the
BeSS- still used by printers in certain
circumstances to call special attention
to particular paragraph. AS for X,
that is usually represented as equiv
alent to two such hands set side by side;
but this Interpretation | believe to be
erroneous. | think it much more
likely (on the Indian analogy to stand
for ZONE man up''-that is TO say, ten,
with people who counted by fingers
alone, or, in other words, employed a
decimal notation. If this hypothesis
be true, X represents double of the
Indian man figure, with outstretched
arms and legs like colossus, the hand
having disappeared entirely by disuse,
as often happens in the evolution Of
what are called cursive hieroglyphics.

Work and Whisky.

The Toledo CO., Blade truly says that
if the working-men Of this Nation were
free from the appetite for rum three
fourths of the saloons would have to
close up for want of patronage. Every
man who takes the pains to investigate
can find out the fact that the saloon
keepers live principally off the hard
earned wages of laboring men. When
payday arrives in any large manu-
featuring town the GROCERIES do their
most rushing business. The money
that the mechanic or laborer should
spend on his family is squandered on
drink and goes to fit up costly bar,
to dress the saloon-keeper's wife in
silks and satins, to furnish his table
with rich fare; while the working
mans wife dresses in calico, his chill
dren in shreds and patches, and their
fare is of the poorest. Heaven alone
knows the misery suffered in that
home which has drunken son. What
is the reason that the honest, sober
element in the various trades unions
do not direct their energies to the ex~
termination of this ruinous traffic,
which draws the bulk of its sustenance
from the very men they were organized
to benefit Why is not the united pow
er of these unions directed to the loosen
ing of the rum powers hold upon
their members, to saving the young
men in their ranks from falling into
the clutches of the demonP Why do
they not unite against the monster evil
of our land, which is the greatest ene-
my of the working classesP-M W.

kn Old Story.

At tLe request of sutEcTiter, in or der to settle a dispute, the following &C., count of the recapture of stolen stock is reproduced from the columns of tbe CIT- HEN Of September 3Oth, 1871:
 During last Saturday night, the Apa- che Indians stole % head of cattle with Iu two miles south of Tucson, belonging to Mrs. Sias. On Sunday Lieut. Charles Bendire was notified by Mir. Ochoa, and he promptly sent fifteen men of his troop, m command of Sergeant Baltz Accompanied by citizen guides) ID pur- sult. They returned on Tuesday and report substantially this: The trail was soon found and followed, which led dI- rectly towards Mir. Colyer's new Reserve at Camp Grant. When within about 20 miles of said Reserve, the Indians find ing themselves SO closely pursued by the troops, abandoned the stock. Eight head had been killed on the way and the remainder returned to the owner. It seems quite evident that the Grant Re serve Indians had come out to meet md reinforce the fleeing thieves, showing thi.t a concert Of action Is maintained between those on and those of the Re serve. Thus, since NIT. Colyer arrived at Grant and made peace there, two men have been murdered, one United States mail captured and wholly destroyed, 20 head of cattle stolen, all by Indians within sight of Tucson, and the evidence seems clear that the guilty ones fled m inc direction of Colyer's new Reserve. Itwould be a waste of space to comment on this string ot factF.'

Special Correspondence to the CITIZEE.
 TENPE, Ariz., Feb. 8, 1886.
 Professor H. B. Farmer and wife ar- rived here on Monday. He will open the normal schcol at once. He reports quite a number of students who wI!l attend from Prescott. A good many have applied for admission from differ ent sec::oUs of MGrIcops county.
 Tempe is steadily improving. A nun Der of buildings are in the course oi construction, and Q general indication Of solid growth IS manifested in every direction.
 Your correspondent vas slightly ms taken in his estimate o: the Spanish Mexican vote of Tempe ID his last letter. We have Glmoss sixty -panish voters here. GzG among the number are some us good ciuZ ns as can be found m any community: in fact l do DO believe that a more peHceab,e. iaw-gb.c.ng class Ci people live anywhere than these.
 Our farmers are steady, industrious, and successful.
 Oar Mormon clement are very good people; they are not numerous here; at- tend to their own business, and outside of the polyg8my feature, they are good citizens. l do not believe that any of the MormoDs here are now living in pOlygamy.
 Messrs. Peterson, Wormser & Co. are doing an extensive business here. They are selling largely in PIpal, Silver King, Ouijotoas, Florence, Prescott and Tue son.
 Messrs. Goldman S Co. are also doing a large business. We have a number of other good stores.
 Also the nursery Of the Johnson Bros. and the apiary of Dr. Gregg. We should have fruit cannery, an ice factory and a cheese factory. There will be great yleld of fruit this year, and there wall be 10 way of saving 1t Bs 1t should be.
 The milk ot the surplus cows ID this community could be utilized at a haEd- some profit by making 1t into cheese.
 The trees will soon be ID full foliage here. While the oranges ca the trees in Florida were frozen this winter a good many of the trees here were not hurt at all.
 We understand that students will be able to get board and rooms Wlln bily ol the following families: Judge ChRs. T. Hayden, Prof. n. E. Farmer, Rev. J. J. Wingar. John S. Armstrong, Joseph T. Allen, Messrs. Lawrence and Wilson. Some of these families will take students in their homes for the sake Of the Nor nal school, not to DBke any money from the transaction.
 A good many people are now looking at lands here for the purpose of buying and locating. We expect to be able m our next to give you the names Of some newcomers.
 A.C. Webster has just completed a cozy pretty residence here. s,
 Goldman & Co. are building good dwelling house and it is rumored that the head of that house here will have some one to help him take care ot IT, when finished. More anon.
