Grand Lodge H Bousttn—On
TnrifT- llth " *•' we took
another trip to Houston to attend the
n—a Lodge. We found a large
and a great deal of
i tnuJLcted. On Thors-
the coiner stone of the new
: Temple was laid, with the
• imposing ceremonies. A great
ny hooka afid papers, and also a
gnat variety of coin was deposited
in the stone, which wss neatly chisel-
ed oat of marble by Mr. T. Byrne.
The runs made it very unpleasant;
but, as it was, hundreds of people
were congregated together to witness
the MW"'**- Past Grand Master
Wm. M. Taylor, officiated as Grand
Master. When finished, the temple
will be one of the finest structures in
the State, and an honor as well as an
> to the city of Houston.
Cúter*.—We are glad to see that
Mr. Wear is rapidly completing the
Fire Company's water tank in the
centre of the public square. This
will be a great convenience for ovr
citizens at all times, especially in ca3e
of fire.
Recorder's Court.—We notice that
our City Marshall and Recorder have
been doing a good business in the
way of keeping order. Ever vigilant
is the word, and woe to the man who
defies the city authorities.
Bacon.—i hat piece of bacon Mr.
John Kane presented us with the
other day was very fine, and we
would advise all persons wanting
good choice bacon to give him a call.

plate, or any other particular piece of
casting, that vou wunt done, call ou

Victim of Misplaced Confidence.
—The colorad troops in this city were
paid off the other day in greenbacks,
and these brave defenders of our
country's honor were as happy as
ever men get to be, especially two of
them, whose names we are onable to
learn. Right on the heels of the Pay-
master followed one Wm. Hall, a
negro newly arrived from New Or-
leans, who exhibited to the two men
tioned above, quantities oi what were
supposed to be twenty dollar gold
pieces, which were carefully taken
from their wrappers of cotton, and,
bright and glittering, were exhibited
to the astonished gaze of th^ unsus-
pecting, hut, as it after proved,
money-loving darkies.
a proposition was made by Hall
to give thom two hundred and forty
dollars in gold, for two hundred in
greenbacks. The bait took, the
soldiers either thinking the man a
fool, or anxious to help Uncle Sam's
representative along, so each handed
him one hundred dollars and received
in return the coin which proved to be
bogus, in fact turned black the next
day, the negroes avowing aa their
opinion that the metal could not stand
the " salt air" of thia latitude. Hall
tilled for New Orleans before he
eould be arrested, leaving the dupes
behind to bewail their U1 luck in ever
hnving met the author of their mis-
News.

of upsetting the Juarez government

important feature of the scheme.
Whisky from Corn Stalks. — A
in Virginia l as discovered a
method of producing excellent whisky
from the stalks of maize. Samples
of the product have been submitted
to parties who are considered the
byst judges, and they pronounce it
superior, and declare that the dis-
covery is destined to create a revolu
tion in the manufacture of the article.
Several capitalists from the North it
is said, are in treaty with the inventor
for the use of his patent right to
manufacture.
George Peabody's Wood Sawing
for his Lodging.—The Concord (N
H.) Statesman reasserts the truth o;
the story that George Peabody sawec
wood in that town to pay for his
night's lodging, and gives the follow
iiig authority lor its troth :
" In the summer of 1858 Mr. Pea-
body was here a day, the guest of
Hon. Nath'l G. Upham—at whose
dwelling was assembled a company
of ladies and gentlemen, to be pre-
sented to the ilistingui he<l hanker.
In the conrse of conversation. Jiu'gt
Perley inquired of Air. Peabody ii he
had been here prior to that day ? His
reply was: • Yes ; when 14 years oi
age I went alone upon a visit to con-
nections in Thetlord, Vt., passing
through Concord. 1 staid over night
at Stickne v's tavern, and sawed wood
to pay for my night's lodging.'

A Successful Printer.—We copy
from the Mobile Tribune of the llth:
Captain Heminis, master of the
schooner Throe Sisters, fro in Ruatan
Island, was in the city yesterday
He was iu the Confederate army, and
at the close of the war returned to
íiew Orleans and went to work iu one
of th« newspaper offices, being by
occupation a printer. Finding, how-
ever, that the business was getting
dull, and becoming tired ot the labor
of morning paper work, he laid down
his "stick," "threw up his cases,"
packed up his traps, and bid farea-eil
to the Crescent City, set out for the
Mosquito Coast, eventually settling
in Ruatan, where he now resides. ()1
an energetic, industrious nature, he
mauaged to make himself comfortable
in a tew months, and may now be
considered almost independent.
His fruit plantation, wlikh is quite
extensive and producing, yields him
bananas, plantains, limes lemons
cocoa nuts, etc. He brought up on
thit trip, to pay expenses, some $1500
worth of the products of his place.
We learn from an intimate friend
that be is producing a very superior
article of citric acid from limes, and
finds a ready market in New Orleans
for all be can turn out. He also
makes all the sugar and syrup that
is required for the consumption of the
inhabitants of the Island.

Colored Men in Brazil. — It Í3
stated that the Rrazilian constitution
never recognized color as a basis of
civil or political rights, so that the
position of free and intelligent ne-
groes has always been very different
there from what it was in the South
ern States of this country. Rev. J.
C. Fletcher, in bis admirable work on
Brazil, Srst published ten years ago,
sfys:
" Some of the most intelligent men
that I met with in Brazil—men edu-
cated at Paris and Coimbra—were of
African descent, whose ancestors were
slaves. Thus if a man have freedom,
money, and merit, no matter how
black may be his skin, no place in
society is refused him. It js surpris-
ing also to observe the ambition and
advancement of some of these men
with negro blood in their veins. The
The national library furnishes not
only quiet rooms, large tables, plenty
of books to the 6eekere after know-
ledge, but pens and paper are supplied
to such as desire these aids to their
studies. Some of the closest students
thus occupied are mulattoes. The
largest and most successful prinjin -
establishment in Rio—that of Sr. F.
Paulo Brit —is owned and directed
by a mulatto. In the colleges, tb«
medical, law, and theological schools,
there is no distinction of color. It
mnst, however, be admitted, that
there is a certain, though, by no
means strong, prejudice existing all
over the land in favor of men of pure
white descent."

A New Version of How a
Young Lady Goes to Bed.
Dismissing Mandy, her foster sister
and maid. Miss Preston performed
the task of disrobing for the night,
without other assistance than that of
her own nimble fingers.
First the little lace collar and rib-
bon were removed from thé neck, and
the bright merinu dress laid aside;
next the snow skirts were lifted over
the head, aud a spring touched in
front of the rounded waist, when
with a clicking and metallic sound,
down came the wide expanse of crino-
line, while Miss Charley stepped out
of its steel circle, considerably col-
lapsed, but all the prettier. A s«ne-
what similar mechanical operation
was repeated, and numerous spring)
and curls were set in a lively motion,
aud then with & stretch upward of
the plump, white arms, and a long
drawn sigh of relief, off came the
little French 44 railroad " corsets, and
the dimpled shoulders of the wearer
rose in unrestricted treedom
The snowy night gown was now
slipped over the head, and its delicate
frills daintily adjusted to the throat
and wrists. Next the mirror was
visited, and the charming little moues
made at the bright face it reflected,
and then seizing the brush, the gir
proceeded to apply it to her glossy
curls until they shone like satin
Thence to the washstand, where teeth
white as cocoa nut, were rubbed unti
they gleamed still whiter, and the
rosy face dipped in the gilded basin
of pore cold water, until it glowec
with renewed crimson. And then
drawing a low seat close to the fire,
the young girl laid one pretty foot
lightly on her knee and began to un-
lace the tiny boot which incased it;
in a few moments both little feet were
bare in their childish beauty, ant
pressed down on the hot bicks of the
hearth, while a careful measurement
was made as the relative lengths of
the big toe and the one next it, for on
this important difference depends the
momentous question as to which "
two shall rule in the future married
life of the measurer. It having been
decreed by mysterious and immutable
signs, that should the great toe be the
longer, the forthcoming lord of the
lady will be her master as well, while
if the second has the preeminence, a
similar late is iu store lor herself, am
her only master will beber own sweet
will.
In the present instance, both of the
-«oft pink toes were of such sameness
or length, that the inference was suf-
ficiently clear that destiny decreed
the married life of Miss Charley
Preston should be a state of equal
rights.
The young lady sat still aud
amused herself by doing a little pros
peeling in the way of gazing down
iuio the coals glowing before her, and
then taking her bible from its stand,
she read the lessous appointed for the
eveuing, then knelt and said her
simple prayers. A puff of fragrant
breath from a pair of rosy lips, aud
out went the candle, leaving the room
lighted ouly by the rich firelight.
Then uuboltiug the door that Maudy,
who slept iu her young mistress'
room, might gain access, when it
should please her to leave the delights
<>f the kiteht^i, the young girl
turned back the soft blankets, and
suowy sheets of her bed, made the
impress of her rounded figure in its
depth, laid her innocent' head upon
the tastefully trimmed pillow, and
went to her happy dreams

An Indian passing np the streets
of Natchez a few days since, was
asked the relative position of white
man, negro and Indian. Giving a
usual " Ugh !" he said ; 'Fore the
war fust come white man, den injin,
den dog, den nigger; now cum nig-
ger, den dog, den injin, and white
man last!"
Josh Billings says: Courting iz

start out from under a rock at the

The New York Tribune publishes
the following . Miss Caroline Brewer,
aged about seventy years, died in the
Almshouse in Portland, Maine, on the
24th ult. She had been an inmate
of the house for the last thirty «five
years, and had uot spoken a word in
all that time. Having been disap-
pointed in love iu early life, she made
a vow never to speak another word,
and she religiously kept her vow tjll
her tongue was paralysed in death.
Greely says there are 100,000
persoLB in New York to-day who, if
they had beeu placed iu th^ garden
of Eden when Adam was, would
have soon starved to death tber<for
want of some one to pluck the fruit
and put it into their mouths. Aud
there are 200,000 who, would have
stolen it without any suggestions from
the serpent. • And yet this sort of
population elects the city government,
the members of the Legislature, and
of Conreas, and nearly controls the
whole State!
The last positive information front
this distinguished prisoner is that h<r
was sentenced on the 3d Inst, to be
executed on the next day. About
this there is no donbt. But whether
Maximilian was executed on the 4th
in accordance with the sentence may
still be a debateable question. Ún-
que8tionably the execution of Maxi-
milian id the savage wish of every
Liberal Mexican. Their hearts are
set upon his head; more especially
so after it became known that the
United States had insulted the bar-
barous instincts of the prison-mur-
derers by requesting them to spare
Maximilian's life. That request seal-
ed the doom of Maximilian. The eb-
ulition of feeling which followed that
request is indescribable. That
whole country resounded with a sav-
age cry for blood, and a feeling of
death to all foreigners was every-
where manifested.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, Mr. Clark, who was with
Maximilian all through his campaign,
arrived here from San Luis day be-
fore yesterday. He is en route with
a budget of dispatches. Maximilian
and his generals were in confinement
at Queretaro undergoing trial when
Mr. Clark left San Luis. He says,
among other things, that Maximilian
had lived on mule meat for thirty
days prior to the bargain and sale.
At Querataro be says they think and
care less about executing Maximilian
than at other places this side. At
every other place the people are crazey
to have Maximilian shot.
Mr. Clarke, who was taken pris-
oner in the general surrender at
Queretaro, saw the traitor Lopez af-
terward, and was offered the hand of
that general, but with true English
contempt for a traitor, refused to re-
ceive it.
The official Liberal papers are
very clamarous from ore end of Mex-
ico to the other for the lives of Maxi-
milian and his generals, and no doubt
is made anywhere that they would
be shot, one and all.
Upon putting Gen. Mejia on his
trial he was told to select whom he
pleased to defend him. He el ose
Gen. Mariano Escobedo, whom he,
Mejia, had aided to escape, when Es-
cot edo was a prisoner of war in impe-
rial hands. Escobedo replied that
he would see him "damned first."
There is little donbt that the capi-
tal fell into liberal hands some days
since, and there is not a shadow of a
doubt that Maximilian and bis gene-
rals have been executed.
A letter from Saltillo, of J une 4,
says Maximilian was ordered to be
shot day before yesterday. Also
that the court martial which tried the
prisoner, composed of subaltern offi-
cers never before beard of, unani-
mously agreed to the shooting of
Maximilian and fellow prisoners.
They now demand Mejia's lifa in
the name of God and liberty.
The execution of O'Horan, com-
manding city of Mexico, by Már-
quez, is confirmed. He was detected
in corresponding and negotiating
with the enemy, with a view to giv-
ing up the capital, when he was taken
out and immediately shot.
Márquez has arrested in the city of
Mexico one hundred and sixty Libe-
ral sympathisers, aud sent word to
Jaurez that if Maximilian or his
generals were executed, he would
shoot the one hundred and sixty
Liberals. In addition to this it is
stated that Márquez has threatened
to lay the capital in asheB if the
Queretaro prisoners are not treated
as prisoners of war.

IT is proposed to publish, under the
above title, a periodical Review,
devoted to the interests of Texas.
As a preliminary step in this undertak-
ing, it is desired to ascertain whether a
sufficient patronage will justify the expen-
ses incident to the publication of the con-
templated work.
The Review will contain a Literary
Department, for which contributions
from talented writers in the State will be
obtained. It will also embrace translations
from the gemB of foreign literature.
The Historical Department will
present correct records of the several
Texas Regiments organized during the late
war; sketches of the history of the Stite,
and incidents of war and border life,from
the earliest settlement to the present time.
The written records of our army having to
a great extent been destroyed, live now in
u an's memory, and would ultimately be
lost if a work like the Review proposed
to be published, shall not perpetnate them.
For this purpose, all persons feeling an
interest in the history of the military or-
ganizations to which they belonged, are
requested to send to Gen. X. B. Debray,
at Houston, a statement of such incidents
connected with them, whether historical
or humorous, as they may deem deserving
of publication, including deeds of individ-
ual gallantry and devotion that should be
handed down to posterity
The Farming and'Stock Raising De-
partments will be a medium of commu-
nication by which the richeB of the State
may be developed, and made known abroad
to thousands who are looking to Texas as
a future home, where to retrieve their
shattered fortunes.
If encouraged by the promise of a snffi-
