Sponsors and Maids of Honor of
the San Antonio Rifles.

Through a letter from Captain Badger,
commanding San Antonio Rifles, to Mrs.
I. f. Mitchell, we learn that the Rifles
have elected as their sponsor Miss Molie
Smith, of San Antonio, the beautiful and
fascinating daughter of Col. ana Mrs. H.
B. Andrews. The lovely San Antonian
sponsor will be the guest, during the drill,
of Mrs. j. II. Smith, and will be sup
ported by four special maids of honor,
Miss Litten, Miss Folts, Miss McCollum,
Miss Stacy and two associate sponsors,
Miss Grant and Miss Sailor. The hospi-
table mansion of Mrs. j H. Smith will be
open for a reception of the Rifles and
their charming sponsors and maids on
Thursday evening, May II. 1t was a
happy inspiration that led the Rifles to
thus combine the loneliness of Austin and
San Antonio, and we congratulate them on
the earnest interest already stirring the
hearts of the winsome maidens who will
proudly wear their colors.

The Capitol Received.

The full board met the ca pitol cont act.
yesterday afternoon, al d all the details
incident 10 the reception of the
capitol in its incomplete but al
most and virtually finished condition,
were discussed and settled. The
contractor and the capital board
then signed the document of transfer of
the building TO the charge of the state,
and Texas is in charge of the finest state
capitol building in the union,
The state reserves 100000 acres of Ian d,
it being 10 per cent of tt capitol
lands, which are to be- held back
until the entire completion
of the building under the terms of the
original contract. The state also retains
10000 acres of land on account of the
unfinished stairs and blinds, and the con-
tractors bond of $25O,OOO is held
as guarantee of the building.
On the other hand, the contractor
gets certificate for 10000 acres of land,
the amount earned up to date. and he is
also relieved from all responsibility on
account of the building. The state can
now use and occupy her capitol.

The grasses, for convenience, may be
ranged in two general divisions. The
first division comprises all the true grasses
or plants with long, simple, narrow leaves
and a long sheath divided to the base
which seems to clasp the stem; or, rather,
through which the stem appears to pass
The artificial grasses are mostly legu
minous plants with few stems which
are cultivated and used like the grasses,
although they do not properly belong to
that family. The clovers of all the va.
rieties, the alfalfa, etc., belong to this
latter class.
In general, grasses ought to be cut not
long after the time of Towering, for al
though there is great deal of nourishment
in the ripe seed, it is hardly enough to
make up for the loss in the stalks and
leaves, which are most valuable before the
soluble materials, such as starch, gum and
sugar, are gradually changed into woody
fiber.

GOVERNORS RECEPTION.
A. Delightful Entertainment at the
Executive Mansion.

The executive mansion presented last
evening a scene of beauty ard animation
The spacious parlors were brilliantly
illuminated and Jhronged with ladies and
gentlemen. Most of the former were
in rich evening costumes, and
many of the gentlemen wore
, the regulation evening suit The
occasion was reception rendered the
members of the senate and house and the
heads of the state departments by the
governor and his estimabe' lady, and was
another illustration of the generous hos
pitality which has marked the occupancy
of the executive mansion by Gov. and Mrs.
L. s. Rose.
From early in the evening until a
late hour the parlors were filled with the
receiving ladies and their guests.
The cares of state were for the time lifted
from the minds of the statesmen guests.
The geological bill might have been rs
Deeply buried as the fossils its end is to
bring forth. The University bill had no
place in the rece ption, an ID was as far distant
as are the contemplated (?) new additions
to the University building. The receiv-
ing of the capitol had been accomplished
and the legislators were there to enjoy
themselves, as only they can in the com
pany of beautiful ladies and around a
we'll spread board.
Mrs. Ross was assisted in the reception
by the following ladies: Mrs. Major
Holmes. Mrs. R. M. Hall, Mrs. T.
E. Hall. Mrs. h. M. Harrison, Mrs.
W. H. Tobin Mrs. j. j. Tobin,

John Moore, Mrs. DR.. Dorsett, Mrs. F. r.

Miss Florine Ross received the younger
portion of the company in her usual
charming manner. She was assisted by
Misses Waggoner, Walker, Dorsett,
Holmes, Bell (of Hamilton county,, and
the Misses Stinsop, of Greenville.

FertiliZing Corn.

The injury often done to the germ Of
the seed corn comes from contact with
manure applied at planting time. De-
composed stable manure or well rotted
compost will not generally do harm. Cot
ton seed meal seems to be very hurtful to
small seeds, as we have learned at some
cost in our gardening operations. In ap-
plying all concentrated manures, it is
generally best to drop little on each side
of the seed corn as planted, not nearer
than two or three inches. We prefer al.
ways to apply, at least, some portion of
the fertilizer at the time of depositing the
seed corn, and very close at hand, so that
the young plant may be supplied at once
with nutritious and soluble food, and
pushed into vigorous growth from the
very beginning.-Southern Cultivator.

The Microbe Case.

Judge TONNES rendered his decision
yesterday in the case of VIM
Radam vs.. J. j. Tobin and others, involv-
ing the right of the Microbe Destroyer
company to manufacture the Microbe
Destroyer, which Mr.. Radam claims is an
infringement upon his rights and patents
as proprietor of the Microbe Killer. Judge
TONNES holds that the similarity. of
names of the two remedies is not such as
to deceive the public, and that the claim
for damages was not established, and the
injunction was refused. 1t is understood
Mr.. Radam will take the case to the higher
courts.
