Mr.. Emra Holmes.

An English paper, among other allu-
sions to the United Orders of the Temple
and Hospital of st. John, of Jerusalem,
has the following mention of Mr.. Emra
Holmes, brother of Major H. M. Holmes,
secretary to Governor Ross: ave learn
that Mr.. Emra Holmes, X. @. T., Fellow
of the Royal Historical society, Provincial
Prior of Canada, and Past Grand Provost
of England, has resigned his Office as
representative of the Great Priory of
Canada at the National Great Priory of
England and Wales (Which he has held for
the past nine or ten years.. This is in
consequence of the action of the Canadian
Knight Templars (who we're lately alb
solved from their allegiance to the Prince
of Wales, Grand MASTERY, in invading the
territories under the jurisdiction of the
Great Priory of England, and founding
preceptories of the order in Australia in
spite of the energetic protests of the
English Templars. We understand that
the Great Priory of England has now
unanimously and finally resolved to sever
all connection with and to repudiate the
existence of the Great Priory of Canada,
whose representative here is unable to de-
fend its action in the matter"

Haynie- Carver.

Thus hyphenated are the fortunes Of
Mr.. Eugene B. Haynle and Miss Lilly
Carver, both of this city, who were mar
ried last evening at the residence of Nj

Der of the special friends of the contract

in ministerial capacity to the terms OF
the interesting contract, by virtue Of
which their lives are henceforth Joined in

nephew of the Messrs. Eugene and John
Bremond, of this city, and is a gentleman
of fine business training and habits, while
the fair young bride, sister of Mrs
Driskill, is ss beautiful and modest
IS the dower her name represents.
There we're, Of course, tokens of regard
from appreci0tive friends and many
congratulations expressed for their future
happiness, to all which was added an
elegant wedding supper as a fitting finale
to the interesting features of the evening
Tx STATESMAN joins in wishing them a
long life Of happiness.

University HOP.

Last evening, as the hour of 8 ap-
preached, there began to gether in Tur-
ner hall large and brilliant assemblage,
the occasion being the hop given by the
University students. Seldom have the
walls of Turner hall looked down upon a
scene of greater brilliancy. The ladies
were looking their sweetest, and, taking
advantage of the privileges (?) accorded
by leap year, moved even the modest and
bashful junior lawyer student - who
usually stands in the corner, always wear
ing the same pleasant smile-aye, even
him the fair and winsome bellies
brought forth from his Sc
cluded nook and whirled him around
the "hall of mirth" till he sighed for "a
lodge in some vast wilderness" where he
might hide himself. The gentlemen re-
llnquished themselves into the arms ()
of the young ladies with a natuaral grace
and coyness that did them great credit.
1t was altogether a great victory for
the University students and they are to be
congratulated on the graceful and entirely
satisfactory manner in which they enter
tanned their guests.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Candidates are beginning to indicate
their willingness to accept Office.
The Big Four, it is thought, will stand
together again for election this fall
The senatorial bee is buzzing in the
bonnets of several patriots.
Among others we hear the following
named gentlemen mentioned for the leg
islature: Messrs. Chas. R. Gibson, Charley
Caldwell, Frank Morris, Phillips, Embree
Smith, John W. Robertson, Dudley
Wooten, Bart Giles, Ed Christian and A.
p. Woodbridge.
The friends of Mr.. Frank Morris are
disposed to put him forward, and some
say he would make an excellent district
judge.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Robertson has
made a fair district attorney, but there
seems to be an earnest feeling in favor of
Major Stewart for this Office, and in favor
of rotation. Many say that the Major
has been an honest and hard worker for
the democratic party, and that he should
be honored this fall with the office of dis
| trict attorney-and his abilities are gen.
orally conceded. In Major Stewart, Mr
Robertson will find vigorous competitor
Judge Breckenridge is universally pop
ular, and it is thought that a strong man
must be put forward by the democratic
party to beat the present incumbent of
the office of county judge. Messrs. Will
liam Won Rosenberg, jr., Archer, Hill
Williams and Hamilton are mentioned az
possible candidates.
Mr.. Barnhart pursues the even tenor of
his way, does his duty and has made friends
since he has been county attorney. 1t is
thought that others besides Mr.. Barnhart
may aspire to the office at the approach
ing election.
The friends of Mr.. Mat johnson may
urge him again for the Office of county
treasurer, and Mr.. Ben Pillow may again
offer himself for Mr.. A. R. Morris place
There is some talk of Captain Walsh
being put forward for district or county
clerk. 1t is generally admitted that jim
Hart and Frank Brown are among the
best clerks in the state and either will bt
hard to beat.
Mr.. Giles has many avowed supporters
for the senatorship. Mr.. Glasscock, it il
thought, will not be a candidate. Judge
Fillmore, Felix Smith and others arr
mentioned for this Office.
1t is surmised that the man who beat
Ham Metz will be the next county asses
sor. Ham is sort of "buzz saw" tt
tackle.
If Make Hornsby announces for sheriff
again, he will not be easily beaten, for hi
is "wild and wolly and hard to curry
Jack Kirk, Sam Platt and Marshal Lucy
have friends who would like to push then
to the front for this office.

The Sachet.

Dressing case covers af satin have the
sachet powder quilted in the lining, and
sachets of silk or satin, are made to fit
INTO each drawer 30 that verything laid
on them becomes impregnated with per-
fume. The Innings of muffs are also per-
fumed,. and gloves, handkerchiefs and
laces are always kept in their own partic-
'1lar receptacles. Vases are also fire.
quently filled with sachet powders or pre-
pared rose leaves, these giving the room
a pleasant odor of flowers at a trifing
expense. The favorite just now is the
violet; according to the poets, this modest
little flower is wont to hide itself, but it
cannot be said that the women of the
present day, who shed its delicate per-
fume wherever they go, initiate it in that
respect.

A "Put and Call"

This is funny phrase to the unini
tiated, but all the brokers understand it
They use it when person gives certain
per cent. for the option of buying or sell
Ing stock on fixed day, at price stated
on the day the option is given. 1t is often
serious operation to the dealer, but
there is a more serious "put and CALI
than this; when you are "put" to bed with
a severe cold and your friends "call'' a
physician. Avoid all this by keeping in
the house DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. The great cure for pulmonary
and blood diseases. Its action is marvel
GUS. 1t cures the worst cough, whether
acute, lingering, or chronic. For Weak
Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Short Breath
Consumption, Night-sweats, and kindred
affections, it surpasses all other medicines

RECEPTION.
A Delightful Levee at the Resi-

When the prediction was hazardei in
these columns day or so ago that there
were large numbers of Austin people who
would GEEK occasion at all tiNes to do
honor to Miss Ida Harris, of Nashville,
now visiting Miss Waggener, of this city,
the prophet spoke truth. The reception
rendered her by her charming hostess last
evening was an event in the social his
tory of Austin. From the opening hour,
7 D. M, and throughout the entire evening,
the parlors of DR.. Waggeners residence
on Lavaca street we're thronged with
friends come to pay their respect to the
hostess and her honored guest of the
evening. Ladies in rich toilets and gen.
tlemen in the conventional evening dress
formed brilliant assembly. Miss Wag-
gener and her guest we're assisted in their
reception by Mrs. VIM. Thompson, Mrs
Satterfeld, Miss Sallie Walker, while
Misses Annie Archer, Helen Beale and
Lizzie and Lila Bell Waggener waited on
the refreshment tables with grace and
alacrity worthy of the occasion.
Miss Harris was a perfect dream OF
loneliness, and foated among the
guests ''like a silken sigh" as one
admirer aptly expressed it
"As light ss any breeze that blows,
So gently did she stir
The flower she stepped on, dipped and rose
And turned to look at her.
1t is with sincere regret that we are

A woMAN's DISCOVERY.

"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this
county. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its ssverest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep
She bought of us bottle of DIR. Kings

so much relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night and with one bottle
has been miraculously cured. He name is

Leg Bail.

When Justice Calhoun admitted Tom
Young to bail Tom promptly undertook
10 furnish it, and Officer Thorpe went out
30 look up his designated bondsmen
while Officer Urenshaw armed to hold his
prisoner in duress. Young, however,
managed to elude him and escaped, and
still eludes him. So Calhoun wonders and
Thorpe and his right hand man Crenshaw
also wonder and can't help it for the life
of them and Tom Young.

night at her residence, No. 800 San An.

compliment paid her in electing her the
