Mama—My darling child, so you are bound
to marry Bob, you say? Are you sure you
are not throwing yourself away on Bob?
How do yon know he may not be trifling with
your young afiections, Beware my child, be
careful. Young men nowadays arc not like
they were in my time.
DATGITEB -My own darling, dearest
mamma, if you only knew dear Bob, as well
as I do, you would not speak so lightly or
so harshly of him. He is the dearest littie fel-
low in the world. Oh! you ought to hear
him talk to me, ma. Then, besides, he plays
and sings so beautifully, and always looks so
neat—his clothes fits him so well When
Tommy gets a little bigger, I intend to have
a suit mode for him just like Bob’s. And am
certain that J. BENRSTIEN, the New York
Tailor, is the only establishment in Houston
that can make the suit to fit, at lower prices
than any other first class merchant tailor.
His place, remember, is on Congress street,
next to the Bank Saloon. novi

We Doubt
Ieneman of ■ four in our popu-
lation have thought of the fact that
there is to be an election held to-mor-
row, and yet such is verily the fact.
It is a kind of blunderbuss contrap-
tion, gotten up some time since by
our board of Solons, proposing cer”
tain amendments to the city charter.
Some of these proposed amentments
are injudicious and short-shighted in
the extreme, an if adopted, would
operate to our injury. A very seri-
oils objection to the proposition is,
that it would perpetuate the present
Board of Aiderman in office three
or four months, beyond the time
for which they were elected. A fea-
ture of the proposed amendment
worthy of all praise is that it reduces
the salaries of various city officers,
but don t do any such thing in re-
gard to the valuable services ren-
dered by our Solons. Our prediction
is that nobody will go to the polls to
vote for the amendments—the jury of
the people will make up a verdict
without leaving their seats. Those
who do go to the polls will go there
to vote against it.
The Hutching House
Opened to-day under the most en-
couraging circumstances. A list of
travelers hailing from North, West'
East and South figured on the regis-

and Kansas Cityare all represented.
Among the names familiar to our peo.
pie are H. B. Plant, New York, now of
the Texas Express Company, L. W.
S.Ducn, of Dallas, W. P. Van Due-
sen, of the I. & G. N. R. R., Palestine,

New Yoak Tailor.
Mr. J. Bernstein, the New York
merchant Tailor is recognised as a
leading man in his profession, but the
public has not been aware that he is
also a man of prolific imagination in
literary compostion. To any who
may doubt this we refer to his card.
This will settle the question beyond
dispute, and place Mr. Bernstein in a
high place among romancers.
Appls $4 00 per Barrel.
Mr. M. Myerston, the well known
cheap Fruit dealer on Main street has

The Streets.
This first day of the week and
month opended with a decided im-
provement in the business outlook.
Country people in considerable num-
bers, with cash in hand, have throng-
ed our stores, while receipts of cotton
by wagon have been liberal.
When White Boys
Pass along Fannin street and see

The Negro Gamblers
Arrested Saturday, were before
Chief Justice McGowen this morn-
ing. Their names are as follows:
Smith Wurtz, George Smith, Frank
Proctor, Loyd McGee, Bill Duning-
ton, Charley Coleman, Jo. Davis, Si-
mon Greer, and the proprietor, Henry
Brown. We cannot form an idea of
what will be the upshot of this trial.
The attorneys are pleading their
causes furiously.
The place at which these barba-
creatures were arrested is the sink
hole of infamy at the corner of
Travis street and Texas Avenue, and
is beyond all question at once the
worst and most public den in the city.
It is situated upon one of our lead-
ing thoroughfares, and in the imme-
diate vicinity of our chief sanctua-
ries of religious worship. Almost
ever since we have known Houston,
this den has been an eyesore and an
insult; as if to parade their crime
before the more chaste of our com-
munity, it has often appeared to us
that the black barbarians who assem-
ble there render themselves more
offensive on Sabbath night than at
any other time in the week. If law
or anything else will reach them, we
do hope to see the den quieted.

20@21 W. P. & E. P. HAMBLEN,
Texas Express Company,
We have heretofore made men-
tion of an important change in the
management of this institution, and
upon inquiry we were surprised to
hear that upon Colonel Small’s re-
signing, his position as President
was filled by the election of Mr. H.
B. Plant, of New York, and Presi-
dent of the Southern Express Com-
pany. Mr. Plant has announced Mr.
M. J. O’Brien as General Superin-
tendent. Mr. O’Brien is of Augusta,
Ga., and occupies the same position
in the Southern Express Co. that he
□as just been appointed to fill in the
Texas. Is our Texas Express Co. to
be managed from New Ycrk? or is
it to be swallowed up by the South-
ern ? the management now being
vested in the same parties. The peo-
ple who have watched with com-
mendable pride, the growth and in-
crease of the Company’s business,
and who always considered it as a
home institution, these must surely
feel someintcrest in knowing why this
change ? and why they place the
management in the hands of stran-
gers to the people and business of
Texas, and so far from its base !
Col. Small and the Texas Express
have become synonomous terms in
Texas, for he has managed it with
ability and to the satisfaction of its
patrons for the past 10 years.
Death from Morphine.
A beautiful and intelligent
woman, well known to some of the
gay Lotharios of Houston, died at
Galveston on Saturday, from an
overdose of morphine. Whether the
act was deliberate, or taken to sober
her after a spree, seems to be shroud-
ed in mystery, but it will be remem-
bered that the same unfortunate
some months ago attempted self-
destruction while at a house in this
city.

Charged with gambling were all

hesitancy in assuming jurisdiction of

nance expressly prohibiting gaming.
He stated his determination to take
the matter into consideration for a few
days, and in the meantime transfer-
red the cases to the County Chief
Justice.
