THE DECAY OE MANNERS.

The Mexican Herald, published IN the
City O; Mexico, under the foregoing
caption, has the f5llo~ing:
In the United States and in Eoglsnd,

many of their best journals, there ls
distinct decay OF manners Modern
rush, the devotion to "buslness" and the
introduction of women into many en-
plopments once monopolized by men,
NAV be taken to be the prime causes OF
this degenerscy of courtesy. An Eng
lish journal devoted to the polite arts
and to the interests of women, says that
society is daily getting more learned,
more brimfuI of all kinds of knowledge,
but Is not getting more refined, and the
retinements of life, commonly called good
manners, must be taught 10 the nursery,
the home circle, and the earliest school
room. There is neither time nor place
for them after wards; but as the tWlg is
bent the tree is inclined, and If Eng
lish girls are to grow up gentle, sweet
and diguifed, these good old courtesies
of manner must be inculcsted from the
cradle. In the United States the decay
of manners is apparent; women II the
great cities are not treated Win Tn
Difference OF former times. One may
recall that 10 the old st. Charles Hotei
in New Orleans, If o lady chancsd t.
pass through a corridor or the "otlce'
thronged with men, every hat came
off. and much of this chivRlrous poille
ness is still observable in the southern
states. Here ia Mexico the Latin
courtesy and innate chivslry as respects
women still obtains. Women here are
not factors in the business world, their
Did kingdom, that of the home. still
survives intact, and there they rule as
Queens. The women OF Mexico are
among the most charming OF their sex,
kindly, sweet and good. In the upper
class families they are we'll educated,
frequently proficient IN seVerai ianeu
ages, We'll and solidly trained in music,
and all are efficient housekeepers. Too
much cannot be said 10 praise OF the
ever-charming women of this fair land.
May they never be forced, by the evolu-
ton of "business," into competition with
men, although one may welcome the
opening OF some light employments to
women forced to gain their bread. But
it is against their being thrust into the
harsh and bitter struggle OF life that
one would guard them. The Mexican

THE people who are interested IN
Arkansas Pass begin to appreciate the
advantages Of having the work in the
hands OF men who are able and willing
to carry out all kinds of auxiliary enter
prises. The deepening of Arsnsas Pass
channel is but the beginning of works
of magnitude that will be carried out In
this and following years. Already the
company's offices here are the chief
offices Of four important corporations,
the Araneas Pass Hsrbor Company, the
Aransas Harbor City and Improvement
Company, the Arkansas Harbor Terminal
Railway Company and the Aransas
Harbor & Northern Railway Company.
All of these enterprises are now alive,
going concerns. The Herald is OF the
opinion that they are but the precursors
of greater works to follow. Ii any more
railroads are required the Arkansas Pass
companies can build them. They have
the financial ability and the enterprise
to carry out all the works that may be
necessary to place Aransas Pass ahead
of all competitors as a railroad center,
and, an fact, to do everything necessary
to make this port what nature intended
| it. one of the greatest and most perfectly
equipped harbors in the world. Inc
chief offices, the principal works and the
army of employees of these various rail
nav and other enterprieee will be locat-
ed at Arsnsas Pass, and In themselves
alone will support large population

We publish elsewhere the territorial
apportionment of school monies for the
several counties for the year ending 1896.
The largest numbsr of school children
given in any one county is that OF Mari
copa, which heads the list with 36'2
Pima second with 352l, Yavapai third
with 1856. The registered number OF
voters in these same counties under the
registration of 1894 was as follows:
Maricopa, 1916; Pima, 1898; YavapaI,
3405. Clearly then Pima is the banner
county for school children. With 24Oo
less registered voters than Msricopa
good old Pima falls behind only 15l
school children; with 1467 less register
ed voters than Yavapai county Pima has
2135 more children Of school age. LII
these figures are correct, and being ON
cial they undoubtedly are, something
must be radically wrong with the men
and women in that belt OF Arizona
woods. Instead of going to the sea
coast in the summer we suggest that
they try the invigorating atmosphere OF
PIN county.

BRIEF NOTES OF MUSICIANS

THE saying is attributed to Won Bu-
low that tenor is not man; he is an
illness.
"'MATAswINTHA," new opera by the
Polish pianist, Scharwenka, is soon to
be brought out at the Weimar Grand
Ducal theater.
SIR ARTHUR SULLIVAN, it is reported,
is to receive ten thousand dollars down
for the new ballet music which he has
composed for the London Alhambra.
IBsEN's works are to furnish opera
librettos. A beginning has been made
with the Banquet at Solhang," writ
ten forty years ago for Ole Bulls thea
ter at Bergen, which has been set to
music by German composer and will
be brought out this fall at Mainz.
AT Delphi fourth Greek hymn has
been discovered by the French. 1t is
in honor of Dionysius, belongs to the
fourth century before Christ, being
thus earlier than the other hymns, and
has no musical notation. 1t contains
much historical information.
VERDI's first composition obtained
for him a thrashing. He struck q
chord. 1t pleased him. He attempted
to strike it again and failed. There
upon he lost his temper and begar
humping upon the piano. Verdi's ia
ther promptly punished him with G
, whipping.

Arkansas Harbor & Northern railroad,
now being surveyed from Arkansas Psss,

Pass. But despairiDg Of making terms
equitable to all, has determined on
new, and as near as possible, an air line,
for the entire road, and engineers and
agents are being sent out to look up
route and prospect for bonus, which it
is officially admitted will largely infiu-
ence the location OF the line.
Southern Texas has already pledged
all that was asked for the 6rst 149 miles.

the contrary are based on personal rea-
sons rather than actual facts. What

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. There has re-
gently been much speculation IL state,
official, and public circles, as to why
the Arkansas Pass Harbor company
asked congress to extend their franchise
three years instead Of one longer, when
their state franchises, worth millions,
expire in few months, and the depth
of water. required over the bar. was vir-
tuslly secured. 1t now transpires that
the company had ulterior motives for
this as admitted by a prominent state
official here today, known to be one Of
that ports champions. Finding it an easy
job to get the twenty feet required, they
have secured this extension from con-
gress to give them time under it to
apply to the state Legislature, which
does not meet for year, for a further
land subsidy conditioned on securing
10 but additional a. or 80 feet over the
bar.

CALIFORNIA; BURIED TREA

Stories OF buried treasure, says Har-

once the resort of pirates, and on it, the
tale goes, some of the buccaneers buried
