Some Mosquitoes.
From the Houston Post


Some ludicrous stories are told about
adventures with the mosquitoes. We have
been solemnly assured that often. when
they have attacked boat and driven its
captain and crew below, they have broken
the windows of the cabin by
plugging in swarms against them
and have attempted to burst in
the doors. Although this may be some
thing of an exaggeration, it is neverthe-
less true that frequently horses and cattle,
after the most frightful sufferings, have
died from mosquito bites on board the YES
sells. Not long ago herd of valuable cat
tie were being taken from Houston down
Buffalo bayou to ranch on the bay near
Galveston and became so desperate under
the attacks of mosquitoes that they broke
from their stalls, jumped into the turbid
waters of the bayou and were all drowned.
Passengers intending to make the voy-
age, usually provide themselves with pro-
lection, in the shape of mosquito bars,
head-nets and thick gloves, and when on
deck are compelled to tie their sleeves
around their wrists and their pantsloons
around their ankles.-Galveston News.

To the Farmers of Travis County

We beg to bring before your notice
that we are again to the front with our
latest Improvements in Harvesting Ma
chimes, with our new Steel Frame Osborne
Junior Ha ;vester and Binder, which cuts
on the right and binds on the left hand
side. This is very important and pref
cradle change, as it will not endanger the
driver to be caught by the reel and
thrown on the cutter-bar of the machir 9
as it has happened frequently with left
hand machines in the event the driver
stands on the side of his team, besides be-
ing alwasy in the stubble and not in the
grain.
Our machine is lighter than any in the
market, it being made entirely of
steel with various other i'm
provements too numerous to men-
ton here. We claim to have the best and
the cheapest. Our object is to keep the
lead with improvements and guarantee to
you that we will not be undersold by any
one. We also carry a large stock of
binder Irvine, which we will sell as low as
any first class Irvine can be sold by any
dealer or association. Our stock of
reapers, mowers and hay rakes is likewise
of the best, and we offer the same at spe-
cial low prices this year. We shall be
pleased to have you see our machines be-
fore you purchase, as it will be of interest
and saving to you. Respectfully,
GERHARD HARDWARE COMPANY.

The Crops.

President McEnnis, as colse an observer
Of the grain market and growing crop as
any man in the state, states that "on the
line of the Fort Worth and Denver, and
the Missouri Pacific, between Dallas and
Gainesville, alone, there will be million
bushels of wheat harvested this season;
that upon the whole, the state at large,
the yield, if from now on we have as
much good luck as bad, will be heavy.
The acreage of oats is larger than last
year and the outlook is & ood The ira
ditional admonition, "more corn and less
cotton" is taking root, and though the
cotton acreage is perhaps greater from
year to year, its increase does not COM
pare favorably with the doubling up of
our population. The tendency to more
grain land and less cotton is very marked
among she best farmers, but tie i'm
mense amount of very wet and unfavora
BILE weather during the past winter has led
many, as a sort of contingent, rather
than choice, to enlarge upon their cotton.
More millet, too, makes its appearance
this season for the same reason.-Live

Mrs. Blacks Musicale.

Last evening the many friends OF Mrs,
N. j. Black were entertained by one OF
those delightful musicsles she understands
so well how TO give. The entertainment
was complimentary to her pupils and in
honor of Miss Edna Todd, upon her com
pletion of the classical course. The pro-
gramme was quite lengthy one, consist
ing of songs, solos, readings, duets, etc.
We regret we cannot give it in full. A
song, with guitar accompaniment, by
Miss Ada Simmons, was one of
the enjoyable features of the
evening, while all we're unanimous
in their expressions of enjoyment of the
music on the banjo by Mr.. Frank Rich
mond. The pupils performed their parts
with credit to themselves and with credit
and honor to their teachers, but the
browning event of the evening was the
rsnd ton, Carnival de Venice" by Miss
To Id.
After the medals were awarded the
guests were invited out to refreshments OF
ice cream and cake and all went merry as
marriage bell. It was at n late hour
when the friends took their departure,
having spent one of the most delightful
evenings of their lives.

MEXICAN LEGATION,


WASHINGTON, ID. O., April 26, 1888.
On the receipt, on the oath inst, of the
invitation, which you addressed to the
to attend the festivities of the Inaugural
ton of the capitol of Texas, to be held
from the 14th to the 10Th OF May next, l
communicated the above feet by cable to
the secretary of foreign relations of
Mexico, in order that the president might
dispose of the necessary time to come to
some conclusion in the premises.
l received to-day a Geographic answer
from Secretary Mariscal, Informing me
that special commission sent by you had
made a similar invitation at the city of
Mexico, to President Diaz, who had been
obliged TO express his sorrow at his non
acceptance, as it is incompatible with the
discharge of his official duties. The cor
rect text of your invitation was cabled
from Austin to Mexico city and it appear
ed in the official journal of the latter
city on the 18th instant.
As regards the invitation to the said
festivities, which you were kind enough to
address to me, the Mexican government
has left it to my discretion to accept it or
NV ~ 'ho lhlpOItduce ana present state
of the official matters under my
charge and now pending between Mexico
and the United States will permit my
absence from Washington.
As my acceptance would necessarily
require an absence from this city of
about ten days, it is not, in my Judgment,
compatible with the discharge of nv
official duties, in the present state of af-
fairs, and l am therefore constrained,
very much against my will, to inform you
that l will be obliged, with sincere regret,
to deprive myself of the pleasure of at
tending said festivities to which you
so kindly invited me.
Renewing to you my Acknowledgements
for the attention shown TO me on that
account, am your obedient servant,
NJ. ROMERO.
To his excellency, l.. S. Ross, governor
of Texas, and the president and mem
bers of the board of directors OF the

Quarantine Against Texas Cattle

From the Denver papers it is learned
that at meeting of the veterinary sani-
tary board held in Denver City 1t was de-
cided that all cattle destined for points in
Colorado must have been at least ninety
days north or west of the line following
the Tooth meridian of longitude from the
line of Kansas to its junction with the
south line of Jones county, Texas; thence
west along the south line of Jones, Fisher
and Scurry counties; thence south along
the west line of Mitchell county; thence
following the government lire to the
Pecos river, and down that stream to its
mouth. This matter is of interest to cat
tlemen in Texas, as the regulation is in
tended to apply to Texss cattle particu-
larly.

Mrs. Jenkins-"What has become of
those choice young eschal!ots left in the

BADLY BRUISED.
A Hose Cart Driver Hurt Per
forming his Duty.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Cochran,
driver of the East Austin Hose company,
received an alarm of fire from the Ninth
ward. He Immediately hitched up his
horse and started of, but in turning the
corner of Lydia and East Seventh streets,
the truck turned completely over. The
horse was thrown on his back and Mr..
Cochran was caught underneath the cart.
Mr.. Cochran's knee and hip were badly
bruised and one of his ribs was dislocated.
DR.. Gasser was Immediately called and
bandaged the wounded man. The horse
was terribly bruised up. The truck is
broken in many places, the reel being
smashed to piece. The bruises received
by Mr.. Cochran will necessitate his laying
off for week or more.

IRON FRIDAYS DAILY. |
EXPRESSIONS OF REGRET.
Letters From Those Who Gould
Not Attend the Dedication.

1t is curious to note,of the invitations to
the dedication sent out by the governor
and the drill board, those sent to Mexican
officials have been answered, while those
sent to men of high station in
this country have been for the
most part ignored. Every United States
senator and representative received an
invitation, and two senators, @. B. Farwell
representatives, John d. Long, Daniel
Kerr, Amos j. Cummings, d. B. Hender-
son and Joe Wheeler. Four governors of
states, David B. Hill, of New York, E. A.
Perry, of Florida, Richardson, of South
Carolina, and Eugene Temple, of Wash
ington Territory, made some recognition
of the invitations and expressed regrets at
not being able to attend. The governor
of every state was invited. Secretary of
the Treasury t'airchlld and Secretary of
War Endicott also acknowledged receipt
of invitations. And five English gentle
men FROM London, H. Seaton, William
Emart, 7. A. DENY, Marquis of Tweesdale,
and Thos. Edmond Grafton sent regrets. But
below are given the letters or their sub
stance from some dozen distinguished
Mexican ot1icials-other letters were re-
oeived, but they we're from lesser lights,
and are omitted. How does the compar-
ison strike our American idea of what is
right and properH Are not the Mexicans
decidedly on top, and has not Uncle Sam
and his officials been taught lesson The
letters are synopsized as only their sub
stance can be given, except in the case of
Minister Romero. All the letters were
addressed to the governor.

Evidently Mr.. Blaine is to be drafted
into the service, and we are willing to,
wager gilt gingerbread against big
apple that should he be drafted he will
not, as he did during the war, get a sub
stitute, even though one be offered him
for nothing. No doubt Mr.. Blaine felt
when he wrote his Florence letter that the
volunteer business as he had pursued it,
as perpetual seeker before the country
for the presidency, was "played out" and
he would start afresh by forcing a draft
and thus appear an unwilling presidential
recruit, with notice, however, that no sub
stltute need apply.-Philadelphia Tele-

in favor of his own cause or re-
