the beautiful Miss Neilson is in that
city, and seems to be enjoying life
hugely. She sat in a box at the
Vaudeville Theatre, one night re-
cently, robed in mauve silk from top
to bottom, with white duchese lace.
A coronal of mauve flowers rested at
the back of her head, and a mass of
duchesse lace fell from it and was
swathed about her bare shoulders;

To most members of the Conven-
tion, this, of law-making, is a new
business. They have "notions" in-
stead of “opinions,” and they should
go home and gather the views of the
masses who rarely commit blunders.
It were be ter to do this than have
the new constitution a failure—re-
jected by the people. Moreover, it
will be an infinitely better constitu-
tion than if hurriedly constructed as

counties, if our correspondents be not
mistaken, will vote against the con-
cern, and then, if it be adopted,
either leave the negro-ravaged coun-
ties or turn Radical. Meanwhile
Gov. Coke can go on and hold State

the case of the last expedition from
Texas, we cannot see exartly how an
editor, running a paper of any ehar-

time when the Constitutional Con-
vention is framing a new system of
fundamental laws for the State, and
a political campaign impending, as
important as was ever undertaken in
Any State. But then, we suspect
that we never did see things in the

THE Navasota Tablet expresses
itself:
If our constitution-makers could
only be brought to realize or to un-
derstand that the sole object and on-
ly legitimate end of government is
, to protect the citizen in the enjoy-
ment of life, liberty and property;
and, then, acting upon this principle,
perform speedily their legitimate
work and go home, leaving appropri-
ate legislation to legislative bodies
hereafter to be chosen by the people
—oh, if they would only do this, they
would be amazed at the alacrity
with which the people would sanc-
tion their work at the polls.
The Waco Examiner says :
“ The general sample for this
reason has never been exceeded. It
is simply superb. Our cotton plant-
ers deserve great praise for the skill
and care they have exhibited in
picking and hauling the present
crop. . , ,
There were nineteen wagons load-
ed with cotton from Coryell, fifteen
fromBell and eighteen from Bosque,
in the city yesterday. The number
from McClennan could hardly be
arrived at, but it was simply im-
mense. Yesterday’s receipts of cot-
ton were by far the largest of the
season thus far, and we are glad the
farmers made a “ ten strike ” in the
fine price prevailing.

And what sharpens the humiliation ;
is the reflection that this body com- !
prises some of the ablest and most
patriotic citizens of Texas among its
members. Men who are fitted to
fill and adorn any station in the land.
Men who, if they were not fettered
by an impracticable, inefficient ma-
jority, could by this time have ac-
complished the necessary work. It
must be extremely humiliating to
these gentlemen, to sit in the Con-
vention hall, day after day, and hear
motions made and resolutions intro-
duced by members who are scarcely
able to comprehend the gravity and
magnitude of the work in which they
are engaged.— Waco Reporter.
It is our observation that many of
the most prominent men in the Con-
vention have been leaders in pro-
moting the state of affairs of which
the Reporter complains. Instead of
endeavoring to exercise a wholesome
influence on the weak sisters, they
have stimulated and led them in
their folly. This Convention has
caused us to look upon several of the
most prominent men of Texas with
much less respect for them than we
have hitherto done.
