One OF the most remarkable of the re-
cent American manias in the estimation
I'll the New Orleans Picayuns, is the
desire for and practice Of building inor-
binary lofty houses for business aud
residence purposes. This style of archi-
lecture on stills has been INDUCED in to
great excess in New York, and is now
raging as IN epidemic in Chicago aud
other Western cities. Houses from ten
TO twenty stories high have come into
fashion, and there appear to be no limits
70 the yagaries encouraged by architects
and engineers. In Europe there are no
lofty buildings, except towers aud spires
attached to churches. People do not re-
side in tenth and twentieth stories and
seem to have no taste for such high living,
but here in a country where land is
abundant, sky-scarping structures are in
great demand. We note that a house is
TO be built IN Chicago 200 feet high,
while houses of 100 feet are common in
all the cities. In ancient Rome there was
Il law forbidding the building Of houses
to q greater height than eighty feet, and
it does not appear that any such height
was common. Does it never occur
10 the architects who plan these lofty
piles that n day the earthquake will
shake them to ruins2 The Uuited States
cannot claim any immunity from such
commissions. Earthquakes are common
in California. The earthquake at New
Madrid, Me, early in the century, was a
formidable one, making extraordinary
changes IN the topography Of 4 large
Of country. The earthquake at
Charleston, 8. 81. II 80 fresh III memory
chat u Is not byany means to lie ignored.
e would appear that earthquake periods
come in cycles. There Is no reason to
that New York and Chicago are
any more secure than are Charleston or
San Francisco.

LOVE.

Love came at dawn when all the world was
fair,
When crimson glories, bloom, and song
were rife;
Love cane at dawn when hopes wings
famed the air,
And murmursd, Il am life"
Love came at even when the day was done,
When heart and brain were tired, and
slumbsr preset,
Love came at eve, shut out the sinking sun,
And whispered, Il am rest"
William W. Campbell, in Century.

TEG JOLLY BUTCHERS.

They Organize Yesterday and VIII Fight
che Cases Pending Against Them
The butchers of the city held a
meeting yes ierday to consider the in
dictments lending against them for
failing to make quarterly reports to
the county commissioners, as required
by law,
Mr.. ". johnson of the Union
Market waa elected temporary pref
dent end NJ Hill Of the Refrigerator
Market eecre tary.
The ques ion was discussed at
length, and the butchers determined
to fight the cases and have employed
Mr.. John Do we'll to represent them.
The law claimed to have been
violated lie article 1865 of chapter 2,
Revised Statutes, which reads as fol-
lows:
every person in this state engaged
ia the slaughter and sale of animals
for market shall make regular re-
port 60 the county commissioners

color, age, marks and brands of every
animal slaughtered, which report
shall be made to each regular meeting
of the court, and be recorded by the
clerk for The inspection of any one
Interested
Mr.. johnson of the Union market
was seen last evening, and he
said that the butchers con-
strued the above law to apply
only in counties where they have no
Besides" Mr.. johnson
said, "the commissioners told us as the
made a quarterly report, it
was not necessary for us to make re.
ports" The county has no inspector
now, and would it not be justice to
the farmers of Travis county for the
city TO create q market inspector,
whose duties would be to see that only
fresh, healthy meat is sold, and that
no beef be offered for sale without the
hide being PRESENT.
They have such inspectors in other
cjties snd hey are very satisfactory.

THE JOURNAlIsrIC DEAD BEAT.

A Creature Who Has no Excuse for Ex-
istence.
Col. Jones OF st. Louis, the able ed
itor of an able Democratic paper and
one OF Missouri's esteemed commits
sioners to the Worlds fair. is just now
busily engaged 10 repelling a vile
Islander which was sent out from Bal
timore to the Associated Press last
Saturday night. 1t appeared from
this story, largely intended to cast
ridicule on Col. Jones, that he was not
satisfied with the slow processes of
modern journalism and the tardy ap-
proach of imperishable fame; that he
yearned for something quick and de-
cisive, something on the Ephesian
dome or Brooklyn bridge order; that
he painted for national thrill of won
der and admiration even as the
hart after the water brooks,
and he thirsted with an I'M
slaked thirst for the time when the
name OF Jones should cause the world
to 'orget the BENEFITS and the Greel-
eys and u Q Danas. SO to this end,
the story ran, he approt ohed a Mr..
Busch, the manufacturer of a light
and palatable beer, and wagered with
that worthy Teuton in the sum OF
$1,000 that he could sent reporter
from st. Louis to Baltimore within the
limits of week, total expenses not to
exceed a S. note.
This was in brief the merry tale
which was flashed over the continent
to the great scandal and modification
of Col. Jones. but fortunately for the
colonel the paper which we directs
and city in which he lives, he has en-
phatically given it the condemnation
of his denial as far az he or Mr.. Busch
is concerned. He has shown conclu-
sively that he is above this style OF
journalism, and that the "Mr. Ashley"
who figures as the party of the third
part in the enterpriseis fellow whose
acquaintance is to him one OF the
luxuries of the future. The colonel
quite agrees with other self-respect-
ing newspaper men that the day has
gone by when the newspaper business
was distinguished for its presentment
lof dead beats. Now and then one en-.
counters a tramp printer or decayed
reporter who travels from town To
town throwing himself upon the
largesses of the s,op barrel or upon the
-irespitality-of1half-, implied beer mugs,
but such men are not regarded as or
namental to the profession or a.
breathing toe journalistic spirit of the
age.
The American newspaper man of
the present day is like any other rep
utable business citizen. He is not un-
derpaid and he is not underfed. AS a
rule he wears good cloths and is little
particular about the fit. He has no
desire TO- do slop work for sensational
papers, and it would be hard, indeed,
to find reporter who would lend him
self to the absurd scheme outlined in
the Baltimore dispatch. Every foil
lower of honest journalism will resent
the wide publication of yarn which
has in its inception the association of
newspaper men with dead beats, and
in its results a laugh and sneer at
alleged journalistic glori6cation Of
trickery and fraud.
