The Merchants Have Organized.

In view of the recent Dallas eonven-
ton, it is rather curious to call to mind
and note that during tt& last session of
the legislature it was reported to the two
houses of that legislative body that very
many in fact the vast majority of the
merchants of the state had or would sign
petitions against the passage OF q law
creating a railroad commission. Read
the resolutions adopted by the Dallas
convention and compare them with what
it was declared few months ago were
the sentiments of the merchants respect
ing the railroads. Can you square them?
The resolutions adopted at Dallas are
the merchants side of the case, the
legislature was favored with the railroad
view. And these merchants ask for
nothing but what is right. They ask
that freight rates may be proportionate
between points, equitable and just; that
there shall be no determinations in favor
of any particular locality or firm. This
is the soul of honest and fair dealing.
And it is noted the merchants did not
satisfy themselves by Illuminating
a few resolutions, they perfected
an organization and cut out a dis
tinct line of duties for their officers to
perform. The railroads are asked IN q
spirit of amity to meet with such officials
and devise such rates of traffic as will be
even and just all round. But if this re-
quest is not responded to, then
the ultimate for the committee of
officers is, each one working in his own
senatorial district, to bring such influ-
ences to bear as will result in an extra
session Of the legislature, called. only to
regulate those irkSome Irregularities
complained of. These men have many
dollars, their life's work at stake in the
matter and they will push it through to
successful issue. The Dallas convention
was thoroughly representative body of
men from the merchant classes; they
have appointed a good executive commit
tee and we heartily wish them success in
their efforts to secure even-handed JUS
tice and those advantages for Texas that
will quicken the time of the coming of
her most perfect greatness.

A southern Exploring Expedition.

The Manufacturers Record of Baltl-
more, which is ever working for the adj
vancement of the South, has undertaken
one of the greatest enterprises of the
Gay. With view TO making known to
the world the vast wealth of the uneX-
plored mineral and timber regions of the
South, which railroads have not yet
opened up TO public investigations, that
progressive journal has organized fully
equipped exploring party, under the
management of Maj. Goldsmith Bernard
West of Birmingham, noted expert in
the exploration of mineral regions. In
making this announcement in ITS last Is
sue, the Manufacturers Record SAYS:
1--WE have arranged to place. at once in
the field an expedition, scientific and
practical, whose duty it shall be to visit,
investigate and report upon all the min
eral districts of the Southern states.
This expedition has been organized solely
by the Manufacturers Record, and the
reports of its work will appear only in
this journal. 1t Is estimated that
the mission will last six or eight
months. Maj. West will be assisted by a
scientific staff Of his own selection and will
remain IL the field for the next six
months. Outside of the several districts
with which Maj. West has been init
mately connected he win carry with him
a regular force and, proceeding on
horseback, camp by the way General
" he viii have the assistance of an en-
gineer and geologist, timber expert, a
secretary and necessary servants. The
idea of the expedition is not to jump from
place to place by rail; but to go through
the country in a lesurely way, study
its climate, conditions, resources
and opportunities. and to give the
public an appropriated and intelligent
report. This is undoubtedly one of
the most remarkable instances of en-
terprise which any paper in this country
has ever undertaken, and ts far ahead
of anything of the kind eyer before pro-
jected by any weekly Journal in Amer
lea. The manufacturers Record has
done a great work for the South in the
past, and to that it now adds this bril-
liant scheme to accomplish still more for
this section. The heavy expense of this
exploring expedition will be borne solely
by that journal -

LINCOLN AS A LOVER.
One Of the stranrest Proposals Of Marriage
indianapolis Journal.


Ever Written.
Indianapolis Journal.
Abraham Lincoln 3 offer of marriage
was very curious one, and, singulsrly
enough, it has but recently come to light.
Numerous as his biographers have been,
and closely as they have CLEANED for new
facts and materials, it was left for the
latest one, MIR. Jesse Weik of Green
castle, to discover this unique and char
acteristic production of Mr.. Lincoln 3
almost untutored mind The letter is
one Of several written, presumably, to
the lady he afterward married. Adj
dressed to my Dear Mary il reads
as follows:
You must know that I cannot see you
or think of you with entire Indifference;
and yet it may be that you are mistaken,
In regard 60 what my real feelings toward
You are. If 1 knew you were not 1
should not trouble you with this letter.
Perhaps any other man would know
enough without further information; but
1 consider it my peculiar right to plead
ignorance and your bounded duty to
allow the plea. 1 want in all
cases to do right, and most par
ticularlY so in all cases with women.
l want at this particular time, more than
anything else, to do right with you, and
If / knew it would be doing right, as l
rather suspect it would, to let you alone,
l would do it. And for the purpose of
making the matter as plain as possible,
now say you can drop the subject, dismiss
your thoughts-if you ever had any-from
me forever, and leave this letter unan-
swered without calling forth one accusing
murmur from me. And I will even go fur
Their and say that if it will add anything
to your comfort and peace OF mind to do
SO, it is my sincere wish that you should.
Do not understand by this that l wish to
cut your acquaintance. l mean no such
thing. What 1 do wish is that our
further acquaintance shall depend upon
yourself. If such further acquaintance
would contribute nothing to your ha2pi-
ness, / am sure it would not to mine
If you feel yourself in any degree bound
to me, L am now willing to release
you, provided you wish it; while, on the
other hand, I am willing, and even
anxious, to bind you faster, if L can be
convinced that it will IN any degree add
to your happiness. This indeed IS the
whole question with me. Nothing would
make me more miserable than to believe
you miserable, nothing more happy than
to know you were so. In what have now
said 1 think I cannot be misunderstood;
and to make myself understood is the
only object of this letter. If it suits
you best not to answer this, farewell.
A long life and a merry one attend
you. But if you conclude to write back,
speak as plainly as [ do. There can be
neither harm nor danger in saying to me
anything you think, just in the manner
you think it. Your friend, LINCOLN.
Probably this is the queerest love letter
on record and the most remarkable offer
of marriage ever made. 1t is a love
letter without word of love and pro-
pOsal Of marriage that does not propose.

90 GREAT PRORLRM. ),

When Northern newspapers begin to
discuss "the negro as freeman, as
does Massachusetts paper in the extract
below, it it time for the negro to reflect
if self hood is not more conducive to his
future welfare than helpless dependence
on party success or sectional sympathy i.
The negro is free man, and should earn
the title by efforts to elevate himself in
all that constitutes true manhood. But
this is the way in which New England
journals have begun to discuss the me-
gro: ''The negro problem forces itself
upon public attention as something most
serious. We have just been glanc-
ing over little work called
'The Plantation Negro as Free
man. by Philip A. Bruce, and it dis
pels quite effectively the ideal view of
the black race. The author has lived
for good many years in that part of
Virginia which contains population of
some two hundred and fits thousand ne
groes. He represents the negro as
careless and capricious parent, as being
decidedly lax in regard to the marriage
tie. as depending upon firm management
for his value as a servant, and as hum
bic or impertinent in demeanor toward
the whites, according to the way he is
treated. He Is not cool and caleu-
lating villain. His crimes are of
the impulsive class. As voter, he is
easily led astray, and is : beeom-
ing readily purchasahIe. His religion
is emotional and has but little influence
on his eondueI, He is highly supersti-
tious and has great faith in the trick doe
tor. The author further thinks that the
ordinary sort of education furnished the
negro hurts him in some ways. as well as

Upon rising to speak at the dinner
commission investigating committee,
Senator Reagan of Texas was greeted
with the most generous applause. The
Texas senator had not visited the Hub''
since his Incarceration at Fort Warren in
Boston harbor, and he very facetiously
remarked that he did not enjoy the last
dinner he had taken in Boston as well as
not as good. MIR. Reagan s speech was

A WOman's Greatest Luxury.
Chicago Herald.


The other day a lady found herself in a
group of femininity where the converse
ton drlfted into the subject of wealth
and as to what constituted luxury. Each
woman present was asked to name
here hearts desire if money grew
on bushes and woman were
turned loose in the field The ladies
by the way, were of moderate means, or
their notions OF luxury would have had
no weight. They were educated and well
bred, or their fancies would not be worth
repeating. Now, man would naturally
say that every woman braced herself up
and shouted in chorus: Diamonds, laces,
silks and horses and carriages. Well,
their verdict was nothing of the sort.
The preponderanee of desire set in the
direction of MAZDA trim, tidy, deft,
cat-footed maid, who would keep all the
paraphernalia of woman in exquisite
order, who neglected nothing from the
buttons on her boots to the perfume on
the mOuchoir, who superintended the
bath, who understood the proper use OF
all dainty toilet appliances, and who,
lastly, could relieve a woman of the
never ending WEAKNESS of conbing her
own hair.
That group of women spoke for all
other women.

GOWNS FOR BUSINESS WOMEN

The DireetOire Pronounced the Best that Ia,
been Devised.
The present style of the directoire s,f.
is probably the most hygienio dress tb,,
has ever been worn by women, saws N.
! Business Women IS Journal. The AL
senee of full drapery and the plain skirt,
prevent it from eDcumbering the limbs
| and relieve it from the unnecessar1
weight which has been so serious an m,
lection to the old styles.
The custom of making many of tbss.
dresses without pockets is not a necessitr
The dress with seven pockets, referred
to in the article entitled 'sTalks Abopt
Health, - is the directoire style. Four
of these pockets are inserted in the vest
in the same manner as pockets ara
made in gentlemen s vests. Two
are in the upper part of the vest. one
for the watch and the other for a pencil
The owner of this dress has had occasion
many times to exclaim. ''Oh! what a
comfort that pencil pocket is to me
1 never before could find my pencil ,,
Two of the pockets referred TO ara
placed in the lower part of the vest
to be used for car tickets and smaB
articles. In the back drRpery are inserted
two oblong pockets, the openings Of
which are drawn together by elastic
cord. One of these is found most usefpl
as a receptacle for memorandum book.
the other for card case. Under one Of
the panels on the right side is inserted
long pocket to be used for the handker-
chief and purse; and on the other side.
hidden also by one Of the panels, can be
placed another pocket for KEYS and other
articles that are not needed for imme-
date use.
1t is to be hoped that this st7le Of
dress, the directoire, will not be of the
ephemeral nature of many others, but
will be generally adopted by business
women, with the improvement in the
way of pockets which we have sug-
gested. There is cry going on.

supporting women against the bondage
OF fashionable dress. 1t is indeed
matter of great Importance that dress
shall be worn by business women which
shall combine all the artistic features OF
a fashionable dress with the comforts and
conveniences required.
The annoyances that have been caused
by nOn-hygienic dresses heretofore in
vogue are only fully appreciated by the
self-supporting woman who finds herself
constantly hampered by them. Tha.
women have been successful while strug-
CLING with such difficulties is an unan-
swerable argument in favor of their
physical endurance; but whatever sue
cess those of remarkable intellect can at

binary woman cannot expect to go fitting

modified so as to be adapted to his char
acter would be much more of benefit
Mr.. Bruce also rega rds the blacks not as
being essentially deDraved, but as
having many unfortunate weaknesses.

er severe analysis OF negro character

information we should go to those vino

edge. II there is any better way to find
information regarding this subject than
through reputable men who have long
lived among the race in ques ton, we
know not how it may be obtained.
Observation OF colored people at
the North Is worth something, yet
here negroes are few, and we fear that
the estimate of their character has been
more influenced by knowledge of the
wrongs which the race has suffered than
by acquaintance with their actual habits.
Yet allowing good deal for any preju-
dice which Mr.. Bruce may not be able to
overcome in his very complete presenta-
ton of their mental and moral traits, the
negro question may well give thinking
people cause for anxiety. The negro is
here as a distinct and Heterogeneous race.

WEAK HE2RTS
Not Always Dae to Diseases-How Improve
ment Can be Had.

The Hospital.
A weak heart seems to be decidedly
more practically inconvenient than q
weak head. If man or woman be
little feeble about the region of the brain
it is generally of little moment. Some
post or other win be provided if the con-
duct be respectable; and lack of brains
is too common 10 excite any particu-
lar attention either in the person
concerned or in those about him. But Q
weak heart insists upon putting itself in
the evidence at all sorts of convenient
and inconvenent times. Weak hearts
are by no means so common. as is often
supposed. Many q man who thinks he
has got one is merely dyspeptic; many a
woman owes her symptoms to
tight lacing or insufficient feeding
If the dyspepsia be cured, or the
tight laclng be dispensed with, the
symptoms of heart weakness will disap-
pear. Even when the heart Is genuinely
''weak, - the weakness is not always
due to special disease of that organ. It
may be only part of general weakness
of the whole system, which is easily
durable. The majority Of weak, flabby
hearts are weak and fabby because
every other muscle in the body is
weak and fabby, and this general weak
ness and f1abbiness is due to want of Wig
orous use. Exercise of the legs and back
and arms gives additional and much
needed exercise to the heart, and the
heart grows strong by vigorous exercise
exactly as every other muscular organ
does, for the heart is muscle. If
a man has no organic disease OF the
heart, no enlargement, and no func-
tional disorder, plenty of brisk walking,
with occasional running, win soon dlspel
his breathlessness and heart weakness,
other things being equal.1 The muscular
inactivity of the modern town man is the
parent of more nl-health than any other
single cause whatever.

The Name of Iowa.
Harper Magazine for july.


The state derives its name from the
tribe known as the Iowa tribe. Much
learning. or, at least, research, has been
wasted in the attempt to show the
photography and definition of this word
among the Indians themselves. While
washington Irving ,sgYith the license
allowable to AM imaginative writer,
states that the meaning of the
word is 'beautifuI, - and recounts the
incident by which that Phrase was first
applied to the country, saying that the
tribe VINO, in their wanderinGs. arriv ed
at the highest point in the Iowa prairies,
looking over the vast expanse of
country uninterrupted by hills or
swamps, involuntarily uttered the
word Iowa, - meaning beautiful. -
But probably a better authority for
the meaning of the word was Antoine Le-
Claire, half-breed of the Sac and Fox
nations, who always asserted humorously
that he was the first white man born in
Iowa, though his mother was an Indian.
He was employed for many years by the
United States as an interpreter in ITS deal
ings with the various Indian tribes His
definition of the word was, There is
the spot-this is the place-to dwell in
peace. - 1t is very certain however,
that the name Of the state and the
name of one of its secondary rivers, run
ming through large part of the center
of the state, is derived from the name of
the tribe.
