The International.—Mr. Jaqua,
who was over at Rockdale a fw
days since, says that the talk was
general that contracts were to be
let about the first of October for the
the immediate completion of thirty
miles of road towards this city, and
that the impression was general that
the route selected for the location of
the road was the one known as the
upper or Round Rock line. We give
the rumors as they come to us.
[Dallas Commercial.]
We have just received the painful
intelligence of the death of John
Garrett, son of the Right Reverend
Bishop Garrett, of the Episcopal
diocese. He expired at 11 o’clock.
He was a young man of much prom-
ise and his demise will cause a void
that will long remain in the bosom
of his family. His disease was con-
sumption.

Such a house, with a pretty garden
attached, would be a most attractive
feature in our city. Can we not have
it?
Can we not have a reading room,
for women as well as men ? But few
of us now adays are able to buy a
tenth of the books we need, and this
library would be an unspeakable
blessing to us. Houston so plucky,
so energetie in other things, ought
no longer to enjoy the unenviable
distinction of being the only city in
the civilized world without a public,
library.
The following occurs i Moore’s
Reminiscences : Scott told of a Ger-
man in a small theatre, saying, at the
moment when the whole audience
was in still and breathless attention
to the sorrows of Mrs. Beverly, « 1
would like much to know who dat
vas dat spat in my eye."
driven to a bar room or gambling
house, or some still viler resort.
About once a year our city news
papers have a violent attack of Pub
lie Library. It is brief, and does not
seem to be contageous. The people
don’t take it, neither has any City
Council we have had yet-—and it
leaves us as it found us.
Surely no one doubts our need of
a Public Library, and every day in-
creases that need. The groups of
idle young men on the street corner^
attest it. The scores of noisy vagrant
boys that infest our city are terrible
witnesses. .
It is, of all needed pulbic improve-
ments the most necessary to the order
and well being of our growing4 ■•city. ,
We ought by this time to have a
a building devoted entirely to litera-
ture and art, to which citizen and
stranger alike could have free access,
It should have a large audience room,
where lectures, concerts and like en-
tertainments could be given at a cost
so small as to be within every body’s
reach.
These places are frequently called

“Where shall I spend my evenings.’’— Bul-
wer.
in that inimitable novel, a Deve-
reux," the great Bulwer tells an an-
ecdote of a French nobleman who
regularly spent his evenings at the
house oi a; gentleman, whose wife the
nobleman had faithfully and de- ‛
votedly loved. After twenty years
the husband died and some one meet-
ing the nobleman, congratulated him
upon the prospect of a union with
the object of his lifelong affections.
"Yes, I am very happy, of course,
but where,” looking very perplex-
edly at his friend, " where nozo shall I
spend my evenings! ”
This question might more properly
and pertinently be put to our City
Council, and citizens generally, by
the thousands of homeless men
among us. By homeless I do not
mean without the attractions of a
home—boarding houses and hotels
not supplying these requisites.
It is a sad and humiliating fact,
that neither the stranger within our
gates, nor the homeless man who lives
with us, has a single, instructive or
entertaining evening’s resort, unless
he happens to know some family
which he can visit. There are still
some men left to whom bar-rooms
and street corners do not afford all
the requisites for an agreeable eve
n i ng. Suppose such a rar a avis comes
to Houston, and is detained a day or
two. He is fond of company, cheet-
ful, and a lover of music. After the
day’s business is over, he looks about
him for same pleasant place to "spend
his evening.” Have you a museum
in Houston?” "No."
"Any public garden where ol may
hear somejgood music? ’ "No."
" Bat certainly you have a public
reading room and library?” "No.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.”
What is the result? He is almost4
