Young Men to the Front.

1t is very gratifying to US to seeso many
of our worthy young men coming promi-
nentIy forward in the mercantile business OF
the town. To US it augurs new life, enter
prise and progress to Union-elements sadly
needed. Our respected friend Capt. A. II.
F.ster is now the only man in the mercan
tile busines who was in business when we
came here, 10 years ago, and while he is not
an old man, his health is not such as to en-
able him to give that active energy to his
bu siness which has resulted in such eminent
success and the secured to him proud dis
tinstion being Of the most reliable and best
business mau in the town.
All our merchants are young men, who,
by their energy probity Of character and
business qualifications, have risen from the
position of clerks to that of prosperous aud
| popular merchants. We believe Union has
the Youngest mercantile circle OF any Of the
old towns in the State.
Among the most notable Of these advan-
ccs are our much esteemed young friends,
George II. Octzel and Is. +. Arthur, who are
now Of the firm Of Foster wilkins & Co.
Tho fact that they have been admitted into
partnership with that staunch old firm O.
Foster & wilkins is a full and complete rec
oguition oftheir moral worth and honora
bic character. Both Of them are youDi
of very high business qualities and will add
strength and popularity to the house.
We sincerely hope that this young Gle
msnt will pull Union out Of the old rut il
which she has been staggering and houn
dcripg and strike out for new business, an
new enterprise to bring business. Trul
entcrprisng men are not those who sit dow
satisfied with what the present brings them
but look to the future, and arc ambitious t
enlarge and increase their business opera
tions and connexions. They infuse III
AMI spirit into every branch Of industr
around them, and when they see thei
neighbors prospcring from liberal oncour
agemcuts ofncw industries, they speedil
profit by tho lesson and are willing to SAT
riiice their time and con tribute their mean
to sscsro the samc advantages.

The Clifford Seminary

1t is pleasant to see the bright faces of
tho young Ladies Of this excellent institu-
ton again on our streets, rs they 'fall in"
one by one after tho holiday vacation.
They give the towna chc~-Ssl appearance
and break tho monoteny Of meeting the
same faces from day to day on our thorough
fares.
The Clifford Seminary is now recognized
us one of the best and most complete Fs-
malo Institutions Of learning in the South,
and its reputation for efficiency in the
thorough education Of young Ladies is be-
coming more and more appreciated through
out this aud adjoining States, as it sends
each year its polished jewels into the
world to elevate and adorn the social circles
in which they may move.
In everything that will refine, elevate
and dignity tho female character, aud fit its
pupils for useful and model members of So
cicty, the Clifford Seminary stands the
equal Of any similar institution in the
country, and its Principal, with its excellent
| Faculty, ncglcc;s nothing that may be prac-
tically beneficial, or will add to the comfort,
| health, moral and literary education of the
20 ung Ladies placed under their oAye.

B2;" In mentioning last week the young
men who have left US, fer time, TO attend
school elsewhere, we quite unintcntionally
omitted the name of cur talented Young
friend, B. f. Townsend, who left us on New
Years day for Davidson College, NC. =
We certainly had no intention TO slight
you, Ben but the holidays had Just ended
and you mus. know that frolicking and
gool eating for one week vii addlo apy
poor Editors brains and cause him TO,
forget hi, most respected friends.
Now, we not only hope for bright fu-
turo for you, but your high standing in
school heretofore, and your excellent char.
acter, Justify us in cOntiden'ially predicting
such. Years ago your father bore off, from
tho same institution, its first honors, and
we feel sure that his fine record will be
nobly maintained by his son.
Aim for the first honor, Ben, from the
start, aud it will take an amJul smort fellow
to win it from you.

Alamo Monument Benefit.

The concert given at the Grand
opera house last night by the Fidelia
musical society, for the benefit of the
Alamo monument fund was the occa-
sion of the gathering of large
number of the most cultured of San
Antonlo's people, and in the rendi-
ton of the excellent programme, this
young society gave their hearers a
genuine treat. A professional orches-
ira could not have won more deserved
encomiums than did this organization,
composed principally of amateurs, last
night.
Among the best numbers were
Schuman's Evening Song" Tau
berts "Love Song" a fantasia from
"Il Trovatore," Prof. Marks violin
solo, the Mandolina Serenade, "Turk-
ish Patrol" and the cello solo by Mr..
Gilbert Schramm.
The audience, one and all, were de-
lighted, and the committee of the
Fidelia is also well pleased, both with
the financial and artistic success of
the entertainment.

YOUNG WING DIES.
And is Given a Characteristic Old
Fashioned Chinese Funeral.

And is Given a Characteristic Old
Fashioned Chinese Funeral.
A Chinaman by the name of Young
Wing, died yesterday at the county
poorhouse, after being ill some time
with dropsy. He was aged 80 years,
and was the tallest native of the
celestial kingdom that has ever ar
rived in San Antonio, he being nearly
six feet tall and well proprotioned.
He had lived in the city for four
months, and while being poor he was
evidently person of some little I'M
portance, as his remains were given
a slap-up Chinese funeral by two
Cinnamon who were his friends. The
funeral occurred yesterday afternoon
and was conducted in the peculiar
manner of the country of, the de-
ceased. The friends would not allow
the body to be removed from
the house to the hearse until two joss
sticks, one at the head, the other at
the foot of the coffin were lighted
and burned to the floor. Then the
hearse was freighted with its load
and one of the Cinnamon took his
place on the seat beside the under
taker, while his comrade followed in
hack, the only one following, and
making the procession" The China
man on the hearse had pro-
vided himself with a package Of rice
paper, in slips punctured with holes,
and at intervals of 100 feet, from the
poorhouse through the city to the
cemetery, he would drop these to the
ground, one at a time. A peculiar
feature of the funeral, and one entire
ly novel to American ideas of a
funeral was the pace at which
the "processionn moved to the
graveyard, the director of the
funeral not allowing the undertaken
to slacken his steeds from the trOt
which he insisted they should ia ke on
leaving the poorhouse. At this brisk
pace, over the rough ground as well
as smooth places, they went to the
cemetery, and on arrival, the coffin
was deposited Immediately in the
grave, without further ceremony, the
two mourners apparently paying
no attention to it any fur
Their, being engaged meantime
while the grave diggers were
shOveling the clOds in the grave, in
burning about a dozen more gaily
papered joss sticks which they stuck
in the ground about the grave and
while watching them burn mumbled
out what must have been invocations
to some terrible Chinese deity. After
burning the sticks, the mourners took
all the clothing and effects of the de-
ceased, consisting of a trunk full of
apparel, and his pistol, shoes, pocket
knife, opium pipe, etc., and piling
them in heap by the grave, set fire
to the whole and remained by it to
see that it was completely consumed.

The New Master in Chancery.

The federal judges have the power
to appoint a standing or permanent
master in chancery for their districts,
but they do not often exercise that
power. The custom is to appoint a
special and temporary master for each
case. Judge Don A. Pardee and
Judge Maxey, who have this power
for the district, have deviated from
this rule and have appointed Mr..
J. Duryee Stevenson, standing mas
ter in chancery for the federal court.
This is a great convenience to the bar
and'at the same time great compli-
ment to the gentleman.

THE railway commission bill en-
counters heavy opposition in the sem
ate and chances for its passage seem
diminished. Concerning the objec-
tions urged against railroads as "rapa-
cious robbers" the Houston Post very
justly says:
1.-THE thousands of dollars being
raised in different localities of Texas
this very date as railway bonuses,
would indicate that certain people
with progressive impulses do not sub
scribe to the 'rapacious robber' and
'cormorant' theories to any alarming
extent.
San Antonio has no desire to Grip
pie railways nor to be crippled by
them. She believes in all the free
dom possible so long as that freedom
is not unjustly exercised. Had there
been no railway determinations in
Texas there would have been no agi-
tation for railway commerce.
