Texas Frees Convention.
Austin Correspondence Dallas Herald.
This morning I mot Colonol llul
Gosling on his way to attond court
at San Antonio. He will make bis
call in a day or two for a meeting
of the executive committeo of the
Texas Press Association, to consider
y>ro!iminary steps concerning the
convention to bo hold in Dallas in
May. Ho tells mo that he has al-
ready perfected arrangements for
members of tho press, with their
families, or, in the absenco of thoso,
their sweethearts, to make a most
delightful trip Into the republic of
Mexico, to Monterey, etc., all with-
out cost. Sleepers will bo placed
without charge on this trip to mem-
bers of tho organization, and every
comfort will bo provided. Proetj-
dont Gosling deserves all possi-
ble commendation for tho untiring
seal and energy he has displayed in
the mnttor of those conventions, ex-
cursions, otc. Our people in Dallas
must do the fair thing by our repre-
sentatives of tho press of tho state.
Properly treated in May during the
Sauigortost, those knights ol tho pen
will sound the pratses of our Queen
City of north Texas far and wide,
not only through tho state, but all
over the country. It will bo the
largest and best advertisement that
Dallas ever had. You will remem-
ber that your correspondent, then a
delegate to tho press convention at
Houston, had a difficult time of it
last May to remove tho sittings of
1 his important convention from
Houston, whoso loading merchants
and citizens did all they could, with
money offers, and other porsua-ivos,
to retain them there in prolerence
over Dalit* or other place*." Let us
then be fully oqualto the emergency
that is to add eo largely to our in-
terests. E.
Ho'd Scoop a Little.
Wall Street News.
About tho time that Daniel Drew
began his Wall street carcer ho was
up the country one tinio to visit
aome lriends, and two farmers called
upon him to decide a case. Ono had
sold tho other five bushels of wheat,
and proposed to mcasuro it in a half
buehcl, and sweep tho top ol tho
measure with a stick. The other
ohjoct'd, and Undo Daniel was
asked to docidc.
"Well, legally spoaking, a bushol
is only a bushel," he answered.
"And can the measure be swept
off?"
"I think it can."
"With what?"
"Well, if I was selling wheat I
should probably use half the head of
a flonv barrel."
•'Which edge of it?"
"Gentlemen, that is a point I can
not now docido on," sighed tho old
man. "If I was selling to a widow
or preacher I am certain that 1 would
sweep the measure with the straight
edge, but if I was selling to a man
that pastures his cows in tho road
and his pig** in his neighbor's corn,
I'm afraid I should use tho circular
side, and scoop a little to boot."
'Tia Well to Look at Home.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Now York Tribune recently
devoted a column of its editorial
pago to wholesome abuse of the
south for their ('inhuman manage-
ment" of its penitentiaries, and
usked . "Is the south more civilised
than Russia ?" In the same issue of
the Tribune we find a report from a
committee of the Now York legisla-
ture detailing a series of brutal out-
rages perpetrated on convicts in the
atato prison of New York. One
man was "paddiod" several times a
day, and the keeper thrust the pad-
dle down his throat; another was
treated so barbarously that be com-
mitted suicide; another was con-
fined in the dungeon one hundred
and seventy days, etc. If the Tri-
bune chooses to explore penal insti-
tutions in several of the northern
states it will find itself compelled to
admit that it is a very hazardous
policy for people who reside in glass
houfros to throw stones at those who
pass by.
THE FASHIONS.
Latest New York and Paris Modes for
the Ladies.
From the New York Evening Post.
Wido flounces of antique lace, and
laces of every description, which
have been out of stylo lor years—
Chantilly, Iluniton, guipure, Flem-
ish point, and the like—are this sea-
son revived, and are used to drape
courtly dinner and reception dresses
for tho stately dames and dowagers.
The tunic or scarf to tlo dress-
skirt is shorter than it has been
worn of late, covering tho upper part
of tho skirt only, and draping in tho
back in pouts, more or less drooping,
but showing a greater portion of tho
trimmed nkirt than formerly. Of
course this style of draping is suita-
ble only to skirts cut short.
A very handsome material for
dressy home toilets is cream-white
sorged flannel; trimmed with long
loops and onds of white moire or
satin ribbon. For young married
ladies this fabric is made into tea-
gowns and Grecian robes, with trim-
mings of hue and white silk em-
briodory of braiding.
Another new stylo in French gants
is called tho Cromwollian gauntlet.
Tho stiff upper part covers tho wriBt
and lower half of the arm, thus pro-
tecting it from cold. The stiff gloves
worn by the lord protector are coun-
terfeiti d as nearly as possible in the
modern guuntlet; but fashions of
this kind require a certain amount
of chic tocarrj' them off with aplomb.
Society girls have little flat sachels
of silk or satin, delicately scented
and decoiated with a bit of their
own hand-painting, either floral or
comical. These they suspend from
the waist by a knot and ends of nar-
row ribbon. Into this case they slip
tho card ou which is printed the or-
der of dancing. Down tho back of
tho case are fastened small loops of
ribbon which servo to hold a tiny
pencil.
Plain dark velvets are a good deal
used for ball-mantles and opera-
cloaks. A very superb ono, lately
sent to California, was made of the
darkest shade of plum-color, cut in a
long sacque shape, and lined
throughout with satin of a pinkish-
mauve tint. Tho trimming was com-
posed of bands of very fine chin-
chilla fur. A second wrap made by
tho same firm and yet on exhibition,
is of dark laurel-green velvet, in
dolman shape, lined with palest gold
color, and edged with dark ostrich-
feather trimming.
Many of the principal dressmakers
have lately edged their dress skirts
with a narrow puffing, instead of the
ordinary plisso, and in velvet es-
pecially this seems preferred. Many
skirts, particularly those of hand-
some materials, have tho edges ar-
ranged in sevt ral "pits d'orgue"—i.
e., large fluted fi-lds alternating with
plain spaces, tliONO frequently cov-
ered by handhome medallion orna-
ments. French "rose" ruches are
in high vogue for white or tinted
silk toilets where tho drcn«< is cut
with a train. Chivroos, double rows
of coquille ruchos, and shell plaiting*
placed ono abovo the other, are all
equally fashionable modes of doco-
rating tho bottom of tho skirt. In
the last-mentioned trimming tho
shell plaiting placed nearest tho foot
of the skirt has its lower edge turned
up on tho right side and "blind-
stitched" down. Tho upper sh*ll
platting is fringed on each edge and
caught up to show just half of tho
lower plaiting. As was suggested in
a former column, this stylo of full,
rampant trimming is out of place on
short dancing drosses.

Value of Bice.
Tho value of rice as a food article
is hardly appreciated in this country.
Not only does it form a very large
Sart of tho stibstanco of the Chinese,
apaneso and other eastern nations,
but they export it in large quanti-
ties. Burmah alone last jTcar expor-
ted 781,000 tons, an amount, weight
for weight, equal to nearly 30,000,-
000 busnols of wheat. Europe im-
ported 720,000 tons last year and
every part of tho civilized world
draws rice from Asia. In England
and Scotland, whenever corn is high
tho distillers use rice as a substitute.
Many cargoes wero thus used last
year when rice was exceptionally
cheap. But it is by no means as
good for distillation as corn, but
with plenty of margin in pricos it
answers the purpose. The consump-
tion of rico in Europe has been
growing rapidly of late and promises
to continue. It has become known
on the grain exchanges as the most
treacherous article for speculation.
Japan bad exported no rico for three
years, was in tho market laBt season
with a total oxport of more than 32,-
000 tons.

The Han Behind Ohandler.
Troy Press (Dem.)
The probability is that tho person
who was behind Mr. Chandler in
this Gorringe business is John
Roach, ship Duildor. Captain Gor-
ringe was negotiating for the pur-
chase of a ship yard, and he was
backed by a number of capitalists.
Afraid of business rivalry, Mr. Roach,
it is suggested, induceed the secre-
tary to annoy and hamper Captain
Gorringe. But ho could not head
off the opposition ship yard. Cap-
tain Gorringe has left the navy and
has tnken possession of hi? yard.
A WELCOME.
Far in the sunny South she lingers,
Yet slowly comes along,
With fairy garland In her fingers,
With snatches of sweet song.
iler eyes with primroses are beaming,
Her smiles will rapture bring.
The sunlight from her hair Is streaming—
Thrice welcome, lovely spring.
She brings us gifts, the roval maiden,
Fair flowers to deck the nilla;
With primvoses her arms are laden,
Bluebells and daft'odills.
Pale crocuses have come before lier,
Wild birds her welcome sing;
Ten thousand longinghearts adore her—
The gay world's darling, spring.

Drainage and Hygiene.
Berlin U counted tho worst drained
and most unwholcsomo city in west-
ern Europe. A recent comparison
with New York shows that its mor-
tality is greatly less than that centre
of the most advanced appliances of
scientific draining. Berlin has a
Ijopulation of nearly tho same num-
)or as New York—1,174,293 to 1,-
279,560 in Now York. Last year
thero were 37,924 deaths in New
York and 30,348 in Berlin. It is
impossible to account for this larger
percentage, us Now York has the ad
vantage of largo streams and sea air
to keep it wholesome, while Berlin,
built on a sandy flut, with only tho
narrow and sluggish Sproo running
through it, has many difficulties to
encounter, naturally and artificially.

The Freight Bate Problem.
Philadelphia Record.
Unjust or unduo discriminations
can bo easily provided against by
making it illegal for transportation
companies to charge different rates
for tho same service, with proper
penalties for tho enforcement of tho
rulo. That is all that is wanted. As
a matter of fact, there is no antagon-
ism of interests botwoen tho railroad
companies and the people of Penn-
sylvania. Statutes based on auy
such assumption can only result in
evil to both tho people and tho cor-
porations.
