public-possessed in vague way of an idea
that FL Paso was far from prudish in its
method Of hfe-hears that 81 Pasos city
council has just promulgated an ordinance
which prohibits the wearing within corpor-
ate limits Of that garment known as the
divided skirt" Some years ago a town in
the neighborhood Of Puget Sound made
itself temporarily a laughing-stock by
declaring the wearing Of a Mother Hub
bard gown to be a misdemeanor. but the
foolish legislation never amounted to any
thing. and 1t Is fair to presume that the FL
Paso law will soon be forgotten. There Is
nothing indecent in the wearing or the ap-
pearance Of the divided skirt. The garment
itself Is much more sensible than the dress
now commonly used by civilized womankind
and from the hygienic point Of view de-
serves only encouragement.

HERMOSA.

The populists held a meeting in the
town hall IN Saturday, August 25th. to
effect an organization and make an en-
rollment. After one or two speeches
were made loud calls were made for
Hon. r. M. White to make an address.
And being called. on by the chair the
Hon. Richard stepped to the front and
made a rousing republieanapeech. He
was interrupted frequently in the course
of what he wal saying, but answered
all the questions promptly, and gave
good rease0s for the republicans In
congress appearing to be against the
free c~oinageof silver. The republicans
were in the minority and therefore
could not be held responsible for the
disastrous acts of the democrats, who
with their immense majority were re-
sponsible for the hostile legislation to
silver. A more extended report of the
proceedings will appear in the next
ssue of The BLACK RANGE.

These frogs are about half an inch
long. They are as black as coal, their
eyes extend out just like horns, and
when brought up On the surface of the
earth Dhey commence to jump, and
butt against the various Obstacles.
When on the surface these frogs are
certainly blind, and they have created
quite an excitement among the mining
men in this camp. Professor Goss saws
this is the purest water he has ever
come across. Every bucket Of water
that is hoisted is full of these little
creatures. Some of these frogs are to

Last spring the question Was
mooted of new Court House for
T.avaca county. The Hallettsville
Herald was pronounced in its adj
vocacy of the scheme and Will
MAR being given employment on
the Herald about that time, declared
that he would have the Court
House commenced within six
months. Why" said he to
prominent citizen of Hallettsville,
tive years ago carried this county
for Hogg. The Governor came up
to me after the election and said;
viii, you pulled me through,
that's what you did,, and that's
Just what I done. Now L am
going to start the Court House
question up and I'll have the cor
ner stone laid before the LIST of
October" When the question
came up we sounded the senti-
ments of our readers aud found
them opposed to it almost to man,
and published expressions of senti-
ment from nearly every business
man in the city and nearly all were
opposed to it. This knocked the
whole business in the head and
MAR was greatly chagrined in con-
sequence. Said he, to the afore
mentioned business man Of Hal.
lettsyille. Ward has ruined oul
chances for Court House this
year, and l am agoing to pulverizt
him the first chance l get. if ]
have to camp on his trail all sum
mer." The pulverizing has been
going on all fall, in MARS mind
The TRADE Of abuse in the Herald
last week being a sample of the
same. MAR seized on the Artesian
well question to try and make cap
itol against the GAZETTE. We done
our duty about the Artesian well
contributed our mite in cash anC
expect to do so again when the de
ficiency is made up, and we fail t.
see how Contractor Karsch has any
kick coming. Having contributed
to help pay him for the work, W
retained the right to joke hin
about it if we wanted to. Nobod.
took it in any other light but tn
hair-brained candidate for
straight jacket, on the Herald. W
candidly believe that if we had re
manned silent last spring on tn
Court House question, that tn
Herald would have saddled nel
Court House on the people this fail
which they would have had t
built ont of the proceeds of Al cen
cotton. We are In favor of a ne
Court House, bnt not until tn
farmers are able to pay for it, an
the Herald can pile on all tn
abuse it wants to.
