Yenterday was a great day for the]
edit.us In Galveston. The street car
men struck, the Texas got fast In tho 1
mud, the editors ate oysters, walked ;
seven miles for exercise and •'hopped'" \
and "bowled" at the Garten Vereln
with swelldom. No better entertain-
ment nor more genuine hospitably was
ever tendered than Unit given lis yes-
terday by this city. The members of 1
the association ate n\stern, baked,
slewed, fried, pan-roast, "barbecued"
and raw. just as their appetites pre-.
feted and Irrigated with beer, lemon-,
ade. coffee, or artesian water. In ail |
ditimh were tables spread with snowy,
linen, decked with ap|ietl*era such as ^
celcrv; sauces, etc.. and the fellow who {
fulled to enjoy the oi'cajloil was not j
present.
Then, there was the G irlon Vereln. i
a special club grmiiids owned by mil-
ll.iualrs, comprising about live acres of
ground, densely shaded, carefully kept,
with graveled mid shad,"I walk*. It is
n veritable garden of Kden, minus |
i.nakcs. A dancing pavilion of modern
construction, a club house with wide
galleries mid spacious reception rooms,
and a ten pin bowling alley with six
chutes adorn the grounds and furnish
places for sport for the meml.ers. Sev-
eral good bars with white-aproned at-
tendant* also bow to your wishes.
The writer honestly confesses that
he became so interested in rolling the
bowling alley balls he neglected the
Minimus two step which enlivened the
pavilion. When four hundred editors
ate turned loose in such a place there
is no accounting for actum*. This

itors in the past and is kept and owned
exclusively by private members. We
appreciate the honor.
The storming of the Alamo was a
feature of the week. Three hundred
of the state troops engaged in this for
(leveral evenings and the scenes of
Texas' historic evei.t were faithfully
re produced. It was one of the most
thrilling exhibitions ever witnessed by
the writer while the roar of canon and
the rattle of musketry was terrifying.
Texas uses this event to inculcate pa-
triotism Good ideu.

may be due to others, the most active

lit'tirral Harrison Writes of "1 liny
With the President al HI*
Desk."
Ex-l'resident Harrison has written
of "A Day With the l'rcsiilent ut hi*
Ilesk" for the March Ladies Home
Journal. The article Is said to be
singularly interesting in the detail
with which it describes the wearisome
routine of the President. It is said
that General Harrison, in this article
litis delivered himself With great di-
rectness aud vigor, relative to the an-
noyances that urn visited upon a Chief
Executive by presislent office-seekers,
aud he suggests an unique plan, by
which the president s burdens in that
direction could be greatly lightened,
and he be enabled to devote more at-
tention to more im|K>rtaut matters. A
feature of the article that will have a
timely interest to those ambitious to
serve the country under tip- incoming
administration, describe* very fully
how the prsident makes appointments
to office. "A Day With the 1'rcddeut
at His Desk" is unique in being the
Drat time that the daily life of the
president has lieen decribetl by one
who has lilled the exalted office. Ar-
ticles upon the social aud domestic
life of the president by General Har-
rison will follow iti successive issues of
the Journal.

.S;iine horse dealers affirm that th.
bicycle is helping the sale of extra
saddle horses. They say that any;
clerk can purchase a wheel on the in-
stallment plan, aud the high-toned em-1
ployer and his wife while out on their
wheels are liable to find themselves
associated with their cook or chamber- ]
maid, or saleswoman, or clerk, and to;
afford more excessive society they'
east away the wheel and buy a high
grade horse, a prize which the clerk
and the chambermaid can not afford.
This may be true nnd will go a long i

The average yield of cotton for the'
crop of 1890 is placed by the Depari-
ment of Agriculture at 158.08 pounds,
being Oo pounds below the average
for ten years. This is less than one-
third and more than one-fourth of a
bale per acre. Our best fanners think 1
it no great acheivement to gather a ,VK) j
bale from a single acre. Take from
the sum total all who make more than |
half a bale per acre, and what do you!
suppose is the yield of a large majority .
of farms. Many make a bale to four|
or five acres, and many make le*s!
then that. To fill the figures collected
by the department there must be a I
large number of farmers who do not j
gather more than one bale froin eight
or ten acres. Is it any wonder that i
that sort of farming don't pay f Is il i
any wonder that such farmers arc
always complaining of hard times f
This is farming done by men who arc
not farmers, but incompeteut apologies
for the real article, who, in any other;
business would fail utterly to be self-

(ihulsteue'g Advice to Vouag Men.
He sure that everyone of you has his
.■e and vocation oa this earth, nnd
ilint it rests with him to find it. Ho
not believe those who too lightly say.
"Nothing succeeds like success."
Effort*— honest, manful, humble ef-
fort—succeeds by its reflected action,
especially iu youth, bettor than suc-
cess, which indeed, too easily and too
early gained, not seldom serves, like
winning the throw of the dice, to blind
and stupefy- Get knowlege, all you
can. Be thorough in all you do, aud
remember ibat though ignorance often
may be innocent, pretension is alwayg
despicable. But you, like meu, be
strong and exercise your strength.
Work onward aud upward, and inayj
the blessing of the Most High sooth
your cares, clear your vision and
crown your labors with reward.—Se-
lected."
