premacy of civil law over arbitrary military
force, an economical administration OF the
Government and Constitutional Reform

constitutional amendments passed by the

The Conservative party fAvors all Of
these propositions, and the Radical party
opposes and denounces them.

The difference between the two men

to do so, he was compelled to use as much

Colonel Waddell is in favor of giving to

does not propose to advance one man at The

give it up. This is all important to young

The all-absorbing horse question has
reached that point, where from discussing
the proper remedy for the disease, we
advance to the consideration of what
means may enable us to escape in future
the DELAY and inconvenience attending
the withdrawal Of SO many horses from
service. We find, in Hon. Erastus @.
Benedict's interesting work, "a Run
Through Europe" the following account
of the use of oxen in Italy. What is
there to prevent such an employment of
them here2


81 noticed here what do not remem-
ber to have ever seen in city before. L
had seen oxen used more variously than
with us. In crossing the Appenines, a
woke of oxen was added for an extra pair
of leaders to take our diligence up the
mountain sleeps, which was little odd.
In Italy had often seen an OK harnessed
sometimes with horse, and sometimes
with donkey-:but here in Trieste oxen
appear to be the usual beasts Of burden
for the dray service of the streets-and,
what struck me as useful economy tor
the drayman of small means, was the
practice of working q single OK, as we
work single horse in the cart or dr9y
service of our cities. A single OK hardly
costs a quarter the price of good horse,
will draw quite as large Loads even
more reliable and trustworthy-is main
tanned at less expense-is more hardy and
patient, and, when his life ceases to be
useful, his death brings back, in the price
of beef, oil his original cost. Here they
have the Roman mouse color, and are
often crossed with the buffalo. You see
them lying down at their drays. and chew
ing the cud all about the public wharves
The single OK is harnessed between the
shafts of his dray, and in solitary useful
ness moves solemnly through the streets
and along the whsrves, dragging his four
wheeled day, the wheels not more than
eighteen inches in diameter, and his wag-
on body, often vast wicket basket of
unpeeled willow twigs, light, strong, and
capaeious. So, too, p ir of oxen Is
worked in long, low, narrow wagon.

TFrom the Houston (Texas) Times


Hardly day passes but brings adj
ditional evidence of the mineral
wealth of our State. We have had
exhibited to us sample of coal from
the outcroppings of large and ex-
tensive vein located within a short
distance fone of the leading railroads,
and in close proximity to the city of
Houston. From the appearance OF
the specimen it is evident that when
the roofing is reached the vein will be
found to Le either pure camel or
splint coal.


1t evidently possesses large
amount of volatile matter and very
little organic substance, which viii
render it valuable for steam and other
purposes. We are also informed that
in the same locality there is found a
superior quality of iron ore.


These deposits of both coal and
iron ore seem to be of the same char
acter as those found in the valley OF
the Kanawha, West Virginia, where
experience has demonstrated that the
best quality of iron can be manufac-
tured without the process of reducing
the coal TO coke, which promises te
produce revolution in the. produe-
ton of iron by reducing its cost one
half.


This discovery does not surprise
us, for we have long believed that oul
State would prove rich in mineral re-
sources yet until their actual discov.
ery we could hardly believe nature
had been SO bountiful in the bestowa
of her choicest gift as to place them 81
within our reach, and in a combina
ton most to be desired.

This development also is of the
greatest Importance to our city; it
will give US cheap fuel for our homes,
and increase greatly our manufactur-

DIFFERENCE IN WoMEN.-There is
nothing more distinctive among wo-
men than the difference of relative
age among them. Two women of the
same number of years will be sub
stantially of different epochs of life,-
the one wearied in mind, faded in
person, deadened in sympathy; the
other fresh and yoang, both in face
and feeling, with sympathies as broad
and keen as they were in her first
youth and perhaps more so; still as
easy to be amused, as ready to love,
and as quick to learn as when she
first emerged from the school-room.
The one you involuntary suspect of
undertaking her age by half a dozen
wears or more, WHEN she tells you she
Is only fortyi the other makes you
wonder if she has aot overstated hers
by just as much when she laughingly
confesses to the same age, The one
is an old woman, who seems as if she
never had been Young; the other only
girl, who seems as if she never
would grow old; and nothing is equal
between them but the number of days
each has lived.
