It is is because they want to sell

Farmers have money, they should
be casting about for such agricultural
implements as will enable them to
cultivate their lands cheaply next
year, and the close margin upon

To the Editor of the Age •
The Age suggests “softening of the

Was there any brain to soften ? One
Price tells a good joke on himself
and associate by this same J. H. R.
In the early days of secession be-
fore “the Government was removed
to Richmond and whilst old Mont-
gomery held Caesar and his fortunes,
and Reagan was Post Master Gen-
eral, this Price had an important
over-land mail route established.
The next step was to get a mail con-
tract awarded by the deparment.
After several days trial the thing
come to a deadlock—Reagan was
leaving for home.
Price and associate also took their
departure and brought up wth the
Honorable at Mobile. ’ Here having-
dined, wined and whiskyed the Post-
Master General most liberally, a con-
tract for the mail was placed before
him for his signature. The Honor-
ble after the reading, plead other
pressing business, and suggested hav-
ing a fair copy written out for de-
posit in the department. As yet
there were no printed blanks, so be-
times in the morning the document
was again placed before the Honor-
able, the pen was dipped into ink,
and several flourishes made over the
paper, but no signature I
Then, as if suddenly struck with
the enormity of the affair, John
again begged to be excused. He did
not know what his friends might
say, should he sign a contract away
from the seat of Government! (At
this time Grant was not President of
the United States, residing officially
at Long Branch).
Price then suggested a letter to the
Post Master at New Orleans, leaving
the matter of sending the mails to his
discretion. The next morning Price
rose early, confident of obtaining
the mail for his new route—“Reagan
was a gentleman,” a “ right down
good follow.” Price handed the
document to Ridell, who opened it
with dignity and began to read:
“To the Post Master at New Or-
leans : Sir: You are hereby com-
manded and requested to send the
next mail from your office over the
usual route by steamer or boat to

he owed it to the people of Houston.
Had he done so, it would have placed

of the local trade. But into this im-
portant branch of the business, our
Houston Board has never ventured
at all. The Houston papers ought
to publish every day the exact num-
ber of bales of cotton, and the num-
ber of hides received here, and the
Board of Trade should furnish these
statistics. The newspaper men have
not the time to procure them. If
such publications were made, they
would have a good effect and in-
crease the city’s standing abroad.
As it is the Board of Trade, as an
organization, is as ignorant of the
business of Houston as any one else.
This ought not to be. If you pre-
tend to lie a thing, be it. It is a
work that could very easily be done.
The Vote.
The total vote cast in the city
yesterday was 286, of which only 18
were in favor of the amendments to
the city charter. Those who staid
at home would, if they had voted,have
gone solidly against the amendments.
So that out of the 4000 voters in
Houston, our City Fathers have just
18 to stand up to them ! Nay, they
do not have so many as that. Out
of the 18 votes cast in favor of their
legislation, it is reasonable to sup-
pose that nine were cast by the ai-
dermen themselves; so that they
have only one friend a piece in this
large city! Was ever a body of men
so hard up for friends before ? And
yet our City Fathers never had a
; thought but that they would carry
the city by storm !
Yesterday evening Mr. Peter far as it goes, but in some respects Q
Floeck obtained judgment against does not go so tar as it ought to go.
One of the most important things
about a Board of Trade, is the gath

Alderman Tryon.
We had a little conversation with
the above gentleman this morning.
Everybody in Houston knows the
history of Aiderman Tryon. How
he was in youth and in early man-
hood a trusted and faithful employee
of the First National Bank of Hous-
ton, and latterly, as at present, pro-
prietor of a family grocery establish-
ment, being recognized as a leading
one in that line in the city.
Alderman Tryon, in reference to
the. late election, said be did not vote
at all. Whatever may have been his
vote upon the ordinance in the first
instance, upon mature consideration
he had decided it to be injudicious,
and was opposed to it. Aiderman
Tryon’s term of office continues next
year, and it is his intention to vote
for a reduction of aldermanic pay to
a mere nominal amount. He consid-
ered that at the late election, no
authority could change the salaries
fixed for the present year.
Aiderman Tryon is chairman of
the Market committee, and in this
capacity has had much annoyance.
A man approached him a few days
since with a personal offer (or rather
bribe) of one hundred dollars to
permit him to erect a coffee stall at
the Preston Street end of the Mar-
ket House. This offer was accompa-
nied with another to purchase sup-
plies to the amount of 8250 per
month from him. This, Aiderman
Tryon indignantly repelled, and in-
vited the man out of his store.
Alderman Tryon perhaps, perti-
nently enquires whether any one of
the capitalists to whom we have re-
ferred as competent to manage the
city finances, could have done better
than the present board.
We give the substance of these re-
marks and merely add that we have
never doubted the honesty of the
democratic members of that body.
Aiderman Tryon has learned from
experience and will be a more valu-
able aiderman, should he retain his
seat next year.
Houston As a Market.
There is at this moment, not in
the State of Texas, and very few
in the South, a market which of-
fers so "many attractions as Hous-
ton, and if trade or prosperity lan-
guishes there is something radically
wrong. We note to-day at Thomas
Ellsbury’s 150 barrels of the sweetest
and largest Louisiana Oranges, at
-5 00 per barrel. Ellsbury, Schwie-
kart, Killer, Henke, Wellborn, My-
erston, and others, sell fruit and veg-
etables, as low almost as they are
sold where they are produced in the
West.
In staple Western produce, such as
bacon, flour, etc., our superiority has
been amply demonstrated and ac-
knowledged by the leading merchants
of the interior. We have capital,
tact and energy engaged in this bus-
iness.
In dry goods, notions etc., at whole
sale, we have such houses as Mcll
henny & Hutchins, with hundreds of
thousands at their back, and, indeed,
beyond the possibility of failure. A.
Harris & Bro., and S. & M. Rosenfield
brings up this business in strong ar-
ray.
In hardware, clothing, etc., our
market is amply stocked.
There is nowhere in the country
stronger or mere solid cotton men
than Shearn & Loyd, W. J. Hutchins,
S. L. Allen, C. S. Longcope, T. W.
House, etc.
But we started in this little para-
graph to refer to those things, which
are indispensible to man’s existence
—food. And in this line, we verily
believe that Houston has the best
stocked and cheapest market in the
South.
In founders and casters of iron we
are at least peerless, so far as Texas
is concerned. We have the most sue
cessful and complete flouring mill in
Texas though not a flour producing
section of the State. We have man-
ufactures of all manner of vehi-
cles from the finest carriage in-
troduced to the heaviest wagon for
plantation use.
Some of our leading merchants are
among the largest cotton and sugar
planters in the United States.
House and Hutchins for instance,
while other merchants are the fac-
tors of the largest sugar planters in
the State. Our compresses offer ad-
vantages which it is utterly beyond
the power of others to offer owing to
the advantages of our location. In
a single word, we feel encouraged and
if the current year does not close with
Houston uppermost and foremost, it
will be strange beyond satisfactory
explanation.
The Colossal Bronze Statue of
Victory which stands in the Park at
Lowell, before the tomb of the first
soldiers that fell in the revolution, is a
lasting and beautiful tribute of art.
It is one of the first objects sought by
strangers visiting our sister city,
which indeed many visit purposely
to see this elegant object of high art.
It was obtained from the King of Ba-
varia by Dr. J. C. Ayer, to whom his
majesty was especially gracious in
acknowledgement of what his reme-
dies are reputed to have done for the
suffering sick. It was donated by
the doctor to the City of Lowell as a
permanent and speaking emblem of
the victories both of Science and
Arms.—Hagerstown (Md.} Press.

it is a matter of no little importance

Th e Bosque County Tragedy.
Some days ago we published the
fact of the killing of Mss Grier of
Bosque b V a man named Simmons.
The Hillsb.oro Expositor gives the
particulars :
He bad been for a long time ad-
dressing her an d, it is said, they were
at one time engaged. Sometime ago
he went to Kansas and while there
heard that Miss Grier was to be mar-
ried to another. He came back and
was heard to declare she should
never marry any one but himself.
On Saturday he called to see herand
wished her to talk with him. This
she refused to do. While alone in
room, together, Mrs;. Grier heard her
daughter exclaim, “Oh, don’t do
that” and instantly .afterward a re-
port of a pistol and her daughter
scream oh, Lord ! then three more re-
ports of the pistol in rapid succession.
On the terrified family’s running to
the room a most shocking a.nd agoniz-
ing sight met their view. Simmons

The lower portion of Main street,
Market Square, and Commerce street
were literally crowded with wagons
from Montgomery, Fort Bend, Austin
and the adjacent farms. These wag-
ons were loaded with cotton, hides,
wool, corn, poultry and all sorts of
products of the farm; after discharg-
ing which, they took on goodly
quantities of groceries, hardware,
etc. This trade is much valued by
our merchants. It pays as it goes,
and asks no favors from any quarter.
“I’ll Declare”
“Said Mrs. Jones to her husband,
Mr. Smith is always talking about
how pure he is ; and this, that and
the other, that he wouldn’t do, and
now here’s a morning paper going it
in the same key. Do you think Mr.
Jones, that people whose characters
need constant propping up arc gen-
erally honest ?
Jones laid his paper aside, put his
cup in the saucer, and said, “well, my
dear, you know business is business.
When men and newspapers run
ahead of their means, they’ve got to
do something you know, and if a rail-
road has got the longest pole they
may go for it. You know my dear
how easy it is for men to lie ; the
thing is quite as easy for newspapers,
especially such as want help to meet
deficits. Now, my dear, you women
have no business talking about such
things. I’m afraid you’re getting as
smart as the voting women of Wyo-

Capt. N. P. Turner, after a trip
to Tennessee, is back in Houston
with his family.
Col. George H. Sweet, of the
Texas New Yorker, was in town to-
day. Col. Sweet, through his paper,
is doing perhaps ’ as much good for
Texas, as any one man in it.
Aiderman Thomas has been a little
under the weather, but he is all
right again.
some three or months, with no en-
couraging prospect of the early re-
sumption of work; and his suit
was brought to break up this condi-
tion of things, and to put the wheels
again in motion.
We believe it will have that effect.
The Company can not afford to let
the road, said to be worth 8192,000,
be sold out and taken away from
them for non-payment of 813,000.
We believe that all hands will imme-
\diately bestir themselves, and that
a compromise with Mr. Floeck will
he fixed up, by which the road will
be immediately put in operation. Mr.
Hoeck is backed up by strong friends,
with whose assistance the road can
very easily be built, and this suit
will result in a condition of affairs
which will relieve their present ob-
jection to going into it. To suppose
otherwise, would, it seems to us, be
exceedingly absurd.
If the levy is allowed to go on,
and the road sold out, the city will
lose the 850,000 of bonds that she has.
already put into it; and this would
be an ugly thing after the unanimity
and confidence with which the people
supported that subscription. These
bonds are now almost worthless, and
have never been of any value to the
company; but with the settlement of
our difficulty with the bond-holders,
they will begin to appreciate, and
may under a sensible administration,
of the city rise as high as 90 cents on
the dollar. It would be much more-
sensible, we should think, if all hands:
should immediately compromise their
difficulties, and secure the other $50-
000 of these bonds by building ten:
more miles at once. The city will
never turn over the other 850,000 if
the road is sold out; and she cannot
be made to do it.

Mayor Lord.
his gentleman has hardly had “a
Nog’s chance” with his present
boord of aldermen. The very first
think they did after his election, was
to pass a resolution taking away
from him the right to appoint his
own ommittees. This was a thing
withoit precedent in Houston legis-
lation, and was a deliberate indignity,
if not ’insult, offered to the new
Mayor. The people of Houston
generally received this action with
disgust, and many of the coolest-
thinking men in the city put them
down as a K dead horse ” from that
moment. No man or set of man
ever gained anything by perpetrating
an indecency; and when public men
are guilty of such conduct in \offlcial
station, the people always remember '
them severely for it.
We don’t know who was the author
of that grand and glorious action,
but it received the support of every
member of the council except
Thomas, Stanley and Tryon. They
said that they did it because they
