SOME CERTAIN SYMPTOMS.

Love is a sly, peculiar thing, It flies on such a subtle wing ETls apt to steal within your breast the while you do not know it. But when it once makes up its mind Within your heart place to find There are some common symptoms which are very apt to show it. If some one pair of softest eyes Seem like the stars of paradise; If for one gentle creature ali her sisters are neg lected;
 If sleeping and awake your dreams Contain but one sweet face that seems Much fairer than the others, then beware, for you're affected.
 If when with one fair form ycu stray You wish the world would stay away And every thing that robs you of her charming self is hated,
 And when her ''frowns are fairer far Than smiles of other women are,r Ah, then it is too late, too late-your heart is surely fated.

Effects of Good Drainage.

An extremely interesting example of the serious importance of sanitation is found in the German town of Mu- nich. An excellent system of drain age works was established there in 1881, and the annual deaths from ty- phoid fever, which had numbered 245 up to 1880, were reduced in 1881 to 40, the yearly average since that time.

Tba Cross u,11o U,;5;,

The Grass Valley Tfdings describes a novel invention for navigating the long, swift fumes that abound on the coast. It is called ''go devil," probably because it goes like its namesake. The vehicle is three feet long, the same shape of ''V" Hume, has closed ends, two wheels on the bottom, and an iron brake with hooks over each side of the Hume, and works with the foot. It has 8 seat and runs at the rate of forty-fve miles an hour in dry Hume and fifty five when a Hume head is turned in, and by means of the brake can be stopped in going three box lengths. The weig is only about fourteen pounds.

In France the scorzonera, or salsifis, has been advantageously substituted for the mulberry in rearing silk worms. The silk produced is said to be equal to that of the worms fed upon mulberry leaves, and surpasses that obtained from worms fed upon lettuce leaves, Dry Goods Chronicle.

SENATOR BROWN AND THE FARMERS


This distinguished and venerable
senator in his address to Georgians at
the state fair at Macon said many
things as true in Texas as in Georgia.
He laid down the principle that the
farmers of the South should not bind
their whole energies to cotton, but it
is their best policy to raise everything
they need without sending hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually to
other and distant states for articles
that can be produced at home. He
instanced bacon, lard, corn and other
products. Now, in Texas the report
of Commissioner Foster shows that
Texas farmers expend annually
millions of dollars abroad for what
they could raise on their farms and
thus save their money, and make
their cotton money a clean surplus.
Texas is today importing heavily corn
from Kansas and butter from New
York, which she might raise at home,
and so many other products.
Senator Browns policy if carried
out in Texas as well as Georgia would
vastly increase the taxable wealth OF
the state. Not only can the principle
apply to farm products, but we hope
to see the day when Texas people will
be supplied by their own manufac-
lures which will work up the raw
material at home.

FOR THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

In this months number of Daniels
Medical Journal there is published a
Circular letter to the medical profess
sion OF the State of Texas" signed by
Drs. Cupples, Wooten, ]. w. Nc.
Laughlin, T. ]. Tyner, Clopton and
Harrison, physicians who stand at the
very forefront of medicine in Texas. 1t
has been ordered that 5000 copies of
this letter be struck off in pamphlet
form and be sent to every physician of
Texas and to prominent laymen. The
object of the letter may be found in
the following petition, which is to be
inclosed in the letter, and to which
physicians are to get all the signatures
possible.
To the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives ofthe State of Texas:
Your petitioners would respectfully
represent that the absence OF a perfect
health system in our state leaves the
citizens without any protection from
epidemic or contagious disease; in
view of this alarming fact we most
urgently pray your honorable bodies
that you will, without delay, frame
such enactments as in your wisdom
will meet the necessity by providing a
general health system.
Furthermore, in consequence of
there being no efficient law preventing
the practice of medicine by incompe-
tent and ignorant persons, we most
earnestly and emphatically ask that
such law be made as will require all
persons who may hereafter seek to ELL
gage in the practice of medicine to
give evidence to legally constituted
authority OF their fitness and compe-
tence for the exercise of the response
BILE privilege, no matter how, when or
where acquired, in order that the peo-
pie may be able to distinguish the
true and qualified physician from the
mere | defenders to medical knowl-
edge. Respectfully submitted.
This is wise move. 1t does not
contemplate doing away with the
present state health officer. 1t leaves
him entirely in charge of his present
duties; but it in addition provides for
supplemental aid for him. His
work is primarily to keep diseases out
side the state, this move is to sud
press disease when planted within our
borders. This action on the part of
the doctors should receive encourage
ment everywhere.

TEXAS AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

At the greatest fair the world has
ever known it is only proper and fit
ting that the greatest state of the
U lion should have the best exhibit.
Not only is this proper but it is emf
nently possible. No other state can
boast of the variety of climate and
products that Texas claims. She is
great not only in territory but in all
that goes to make rich and prosper
GUS state. We can send to Chicago
every variety of farm, orchard and
garden product; we can send wood OF
every species; we can send an infinite
variety of minerals and soil; no state
of the Union has a more romantic
and thrilling history than Texas, and
fac-simile of the Alamo should be
erected Oh the Worlds Fair grounds
The cost of making such showing
as is due ourselves will not be slight,
but cost should not figure in such a
case. A state convention has been
called to meet at Houston, Deem
Der 10, to discuss this question and
memorable the legislature. The
child state, Washington, proposes to
appropriate $250000 for the purpose
of deliberately displaying that state
before the eyes of the assembled
world. If Washington can do that
much, what should great Texas with
her plethoric state treasury not do?
For it must be remembered that
what is done is not alone done for
pride's sake, to fatter ourselves for
the past and present; it is done to
lay broad the foundation for the flu
ture, it is done to enlighten the
world as to what kind of state Texas
really is. With our exhibit
at Chicago there should be
tons of reading matter, strictly
accurate and truthful in every partic-
ular. For all Texas needs is to have
the unvarnished truth told about her
and the rest will take care of itself.
To the end then that what Texas de-
mands at our hands shall be accom-
plished, the state convention at Hous-
Dec. 10, should be thoroughly rep
resentative body-one whose demand
upon the legislature will be listened
to and granted. With this in view
every section of the state should send
its best men to Houston to be ready
for duty on Dec. 10th.

THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.

Personalism is not so much the
issue in the local canvass as the
principles of the two great parties
presented by their nominees and en-
bracing aspirants from representa-
tives down. Both parties have brought
out what was in the judgment of their
conventions the most available mate
rial to be had. 1t is now for the
people of the county to decide which
set Of nominees they prefer to put in
power. We have nothing personally
to say against the gentlemen on the
Republican county ticket, either
original or Lily White. They are
known to be good men and citizens.
But the Democratic nominees-Ter-
rell, Kelly, Johnson, White and
others are before the community as
chosen represen tatiyes of the same
party whose desperate struggle in the
present congress with the despctic
measures of Reed, the advocate of the
infamous force bill and the robber
tariff, has commanded the admiration
of the world and won the gratitude of
the masses.
There is another point that ought
not to be lost sight of. 1t is that if
the force bill becomes a lava thing
not at all impossible, and consider
ing the threatening attitude of the
Republican party, the time may
come, and before another biennial
election rolls around, when the white
people must be drawn closer together
in the presence of the common dan
ger. 1t is therefore important to
elect Democrats to the county as well
as state offices, and the more especially
as the county can lose nothing by
standing solid with the great 10000
majority which the Democracy of the
state is soon to roll up for the stale
ticket.

IT is a fundamental principle in
the federal and state constitutions
that this is a government of, by and
for the people, and the people demand
at all times to know just how things
are going on. They like not star
chamber proceedings. They cry out
against the secret sessions of the
senates OF the country and when leg
islative created boards arrogate to
themselves the right to follow suit,
the people come to the front with an
emphatic no! And when newspa-
per reporter seeks information as to
what is going on, he is in no sense a
spy, but the agent Of the people col
lecting information to which they are
justly entitled.

THE STATESMAN can see no reason,
if citizen wants to cut down a hill
at his own expense and under the eye
of the city engineer and in conform
ance with the city grade, why he
should not be allowed to do so. The
city secures the grade she wants and
without any cost to herself. Such
work should be encouraged.

A RAILROAD to Lockhartis the thing
we must now absolutely have. If we
can get it with another bridge over the
Colorado all we'll and good; but if we
can't have this bridge then build the
railroad anyhow and put the depot on
the south side of the river. We want
that railroad whether or no and
the little inconvenience of getting
across the river to the depot does not
figure at all in the premises.

AUsTIN's dam is the site for manu-
factories, but we must have good

amendment is the only proper thing
at this juncture. Remember that
amendment must pass and work for it
accordingly.

Work on the granite steps at the State
Capitol grounds has ceased. and the clink,
clink, clink of the hammers of the stone
masons is heard no more.
The fact is that the appropriation of
ST., $50 made by the last Legislature has been
exhausted, and it may be truthfully said
that not single tier Of steps is in COM

at the southwest corner, and from M street
-four tiers) are in position, but neither tier
has been finished. At each place the stone
walk approaching the steps has been torn
up and has not been replaced.
This condition of affairs must be disap-
pontment and surprise to Secretary OF State
Hendricks, as, when there was short strike
of the stcne-workers about year ago, that
official bewailed the fact, On the ground that
he desired to see the steps completed prior
to the assembling of the National Grange,
which met at the Capitol last October.
The individual having charge of the work
was J. ]. Carroll, who has been quite promi-
nent in local Democratic politics. For con-
siderably more than year he has been re-
ceiving 81 per day for experimenting" the
work, and. as may be seen. his wages cut
no small figure in diminishing the apprO-
priatiOn.

on the subject of the steps, but he was not
in his office. The Governor (who with
Secretary Of State Hendricks and Treas
urer Herold constitute the Capitol Com
