Galveston Favored This Yefr-Meet-
Here of tlio Grand Lodges of
KnishiM of Pythias, R'Nai Brith and
Knights of Honor.
There will be assembled in Galveston this year
three grand lodges of the various orders/estab-
lished in this city. The Grand Lodge of t>.e
Knights of Pythias of the State of Texas, will con-
vene at Galveston on April 18, and remain in
session probably three days. Extensive prepara-
tions have been made by the Humholdt Lodge No.
9. « f this ciiy, for their entertainment. On the
18:h. after the Grand Lodge assembles and o^au-
iz-'s, a procession will be had a 1 the knights
present in the city, to rha beach, where a banquet
wiil be spread at the Atlantic Garden*. On
Wednesday, tlie 19th, the Grand Lodge will be en-
tertained with a bust race in the afternoon, and at
night, at the opera-house, by the amateur 3uveniie
3Iasoott o?w ra troupe, under the direction of Pro-
r sor Felix Schram, and on Thursday a grand
* all at the Pavilion will be the attraction. If anv
knigiits remain over on Friday, they will be offered
an excursion on the outer bay to relieve them of
the surplus festivities of the preceding days. It is
among the certainties that all the abov<a"arrange-
ments are perfected, and that various lodges in the
interior will, during that time, visit Galveston in a
body, especially those from Houston, Brenham.
For Worth, Palestine au«l Deuison, and a large at-
tendance of strangers may be confidently looked
'lie Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of
B nai Brith, for the Seventh district, will meet here
in the middle of May It is a Jewish eniowment
associates, and the Seventh district is composed
of the States of Tennessee, Alabama, Florida,
Louisiano, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas, aud
the delegation are selected from among the most
prominent citizen-; in these States, and their ses-
sions differ from most grand bodies of secret orders,
as they are held open to the public. Their pro-
ceeding; are vt-ry interesting, and are conducted
with marked forensic al il-ty.
Z icharias Frankel Lodge, of this city, has already
ta -n in hand the entertainment of the Grand
L ><lge. and a committee, composed of leading Jew-
ish citizens, its members, are arranging to give the
delegates a reception worthy of the well-known
hospitality of the city, and especially of Israelites.
The Grand Lodge Of the Knights of Honor also
meet here in August. No action ha* yet been taken
by Galveston Lod^e for the reception and enter-
tainment of the Grand Lodge, as there is ample
time before them, but the Knights of Honor wi'.l '
beyond doubt fully acquit themselves in th« ,ir
turn.

Within the past week one of tfce ice companies
has chartered two vessels to bi ing ice for them
from St. Johns, New Brunsv.ick. where the ice
crop is said to be thicker and better than on the
New England coa^r, and have four cargoes en
route from Maine. These charters make six car-
goes loaaing and en route, and the prospect of an
ample supply of ice for tlve summer appears good,
as both companies are making preparations for
large shipments.

Sau JPacinto Day.
It is)"earned that committees of the vereran asso-
ciatior i and the military companies of this city are
activ diy at work, making arrangements for a grand
cele* ^ration upon the battle-field on the 21st of next
nio'ath which will be the forty-sixth anniversary of
tly _• battle. There seems to be little doubt that all
tl ie plans will soon be so far perfected that notice
f »nd details can be erven to the public. Suitable
transportation from this city to San Jacinto, for
that occasion, has not yet been procured. To get
this now seeins to be the only matter of any con-
sequence to be accomplished to insure the
complete success of the celebration. It is under-
stood that citizens and military organizations of
Houston and many of the interior towns are to be
invited, and are expected to join in doing appro-
priate honors to a day that must ever rem am
dear to all Texans. _

Lf >ves the art for itself may realize the field in this
piec for the highly-trained voice that last uight
touched its every note. Farewell t » the Forest and
Belfry Tower were given by a chorus of twenty-six
ladies and gentlemen. In all the renditions there
was much p'easure <lerived by the audience, which
encored in ev^ry insiance. Mrs. Man>-
field sang The Maid of Dundee in
response to generous and continued
applause, a song whose simplicity and melody of-
fordetl an excellent opportunity to judge of the
versatility—of the voice that interpreted its sweet-
ness. The play, by well-known amateurs, German
Students Joys and Sorrows, was a pleasant ad-
denda. while the ball drew quite a number in
defiance of the weather.

Important to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup is the only thing
that mothers ran rely upon for their children. It cor-
rects acidity of the stomach, cures wind colic,
regulates tne bowels, and gives rest, health and
comfort to mother and child. During the process
of teething, its value is incalculable. It softens the
gums, reduces inflammation and allays all pain,
thereby giving rest to the child and comfort to the
mother. Twenty-five cents a bottle.
8c Sure and Remember
that if you waut anything lithographed or
printed, or are iu neeu of blank books and gen-
eral stationery, to go to Strickland & Co.'s, on
the Strand. They are doing most excellent
work in all their lines, and can compete suc-
cessfully with any house North, East or West
' i both work and prices. They make book
■ ork a specialty, and only ask a trial to con-
vince even the most skeptical.

The first regular meeting of the new City Coun-
cil will be held to-morrow night, i t which time the
mayor will submit nominations to fill all city offi-
ces. At this time it is impossible to venture a
guess as to what the outcome will be, although
there are many who predict some lively times in
the declaration of issues, aud the determination of
sides upon which members are hereafter to stand.
Personal.
Messrs. Huntington and Peirce were expected to
arrive last night by special train, rooms having
been engaged for Mr. Huntington at the Tremont.
Railroad men who came in on the last train could
tell nothing of tneir whereabouts, whether they
would come by extra train, arrive this morning
or come at all. Should they make a visit to ihis
city their stay will, perhaps, be a short one, and it
would be appropriate for some 01 the leading
business men to see that, in the event of their
coming to-day, the courtesies of the city are ex-
tended them.

Mr. T. E. Thompson leaves to-day by steamer

Notes on Dress.
[Our Continent. 1
The prettiest dress for girls under ten years of
age is the gabrielle or princess. The trimmings
may simulate the sacque and the panier draperies.
The bottom of the dress is flounced.
Girls over tea wear suits composed'of the basque
and a trimmed ^kirt. If the suit is in one piece it
generally trimmed to imitate a basque and skirt
with full flounces and draperies.
Mixed cheviots, plain and checked, are much
used for children's suits.
R -fined Freuch women never change their toilet
perfumes.
The present fashion demands that young girls
shall be simply dressed.
The Londou witch hat is the latest form of
poke." It is worn very far over the eyes.
None but a very pretty woman can afford to
wear very plain hair.
The Greet overskirt (so-called) is extremely
fashionable. It is raised high on one side.
Side robe pieces of moire silk over a skirt and
tablier of cashmere are very fashionable. The back
draperies are of cashmere. The basque of cash-
mere is heavily trimmed with moie.
The costliest evening dress fabrics are of in-
visible silk gauze, embroidered in flowers with silk
floss.
Pale blue gauzy evening dresses, decorated with
scarlet flowers in small masses, are worn by fash-
ijuable women
While evening robes are made of splendid ma-
terials, and visiting costumes are as dressy as
moire, plush and satin can make them. Walking
dresses are made of vigogne, cloth and cheviot.
There is a growing taste for embroidery, as a
dress trimming. Machines now copy the finest
arrasene and other embroideries with such fidelity
as to place the fine decoration within the reach of
persons of moderate means.
The r'anchons of this season are somewhat
larger than formerly.
A new greenish shade of very vivid yellow is
called ••mustard."
Rosebuds, forget-me-nots, daisies and bluets in
tiny design-, are favorite flowers among the pat-
terns found on spring satteens, percales and
foulards.
The new Gilbert cloths in delicate colors and
mixtures will be much woru.
Pajamas of brignt yellow ponge dotted with
suial circles of blue are the latest fancy in gentle-
men's n ightwear. _

The Overflow.
New Orleans, March 18.—A resume of the week
shows a large increase in the area covered by
flood waters from Helena to the mouth of the
Mississippi river. In Yasoo valley the water is
reported rising rapidly. Four steamers of the
Parisot line are continuously traversing that sec-
tion, carrying supplies and taking out people and
stock. In the Yazoo delta, from Vicksburg to Cold-
water, a distance by river of over 400 miles, and
from the hills on the east to the Mississippi river
on the west, from forty to sixty miles in width,
the greater part of the land is submerged, includ-
ing Coldwater, Tallahatchie, Yazoo, Sunflower
and Deer creek bottoms. Some loss of life is re-
ported.
The government steamer Amite left Vicksburg
yesterday for this section to distribute ratious and
render assistance to overflowed. Her commands,
Captain Lee, United States army, telegraphed
General Beck with, St. Louis, that the greatest des-
titution and destruction of property prevail in the
back counties. Fifty thousand rations per week
should be sent to the State agent at Vicksburg un-
til the flood subsides, and 100,000 per week to the
State agent at Memphis, for Mississippi counties
on river points; also, tents for both places.
Milliken's Bend levee, in Madison parish. La.,
gave way yesterday, the crevasses aggregating
some two miles in length. The water from these
will cover the greaterpart of Madison parish, join
the waters of crevasses in the Tensas aud Concor-
dia, flow in Bayou Macon, Black, Ouachita and
Tensas rivers, thence through Red and Atchafalaya
rivers. The damage from these breaks will be
very great, adding an entire parish to the area
overflowed, and possibly causing additional dam-
age by overflow to the streams above mentioned.
The whole country about Eagle Bend, in the water
delta, is submerged, but houses have not been car-
ried off.
There are now reported thirty-three breaks be
tween Hushpuckana and Greenville, and terrible
suffering is experienced from the disaster. A dis-
patch says the water from Millikin's Bend sub-
merged the town of Duckpcrt, and houses were
floated for miles into the country. The steamer
Cannon arrived at Vicksburg yesterday. Captain
Campbell says he rescued over 200 head of cattle,
mules, etc., and a number of families from the
ends of levees, and at one place went out into a
swamp about a mile and a half, for thirty people,
who were literally starving to death. Captain
Roberts says there "is a terrible condition of affairs,
and in many instances not only lack of means but
absolute poverty.
The pilots of the Cannon report five feet of
water over Newtown, Miss. Below Newtown the
whole country, with the exception of Nctchez,
Miss., Is submerged. On the Louisiana aide, Drou-
land plantation, at Pointe Coupee; Hogs Point,
four miles below Red river: the* Gibson place, six-
teen miles from Natchez, and the Coleman plan-
tation, about two miles above Waterproof, are the
only sites where land can be seen at all. All other
portions of the country on either side of the river
were submerged, either from back water or broken
levees above there. Brunswick, Albemarle. In-
eromar, Hurlee, Dunbarton, Magna Vista, Shiloh,
Hay's Landing aud Moore's Landing are entirely
under water on the Mississippi side, while on the
Louisiana side the whole country from Lake
Providence down is overflowed.
Much suffering is reported in the overflowed sec-
tion. from Camden, Ark., to the mouth of Bayou
Bartholomew, and from twenty-five miles below
Monroe to the mouth of Black river. Government
rations for fifteen days have been sent to this sec-
tion. The water along the lower Ouacliiti is six
inches higher than in 1874. The recent creva=se on
the west side of the Mississippi wiil probably carry
water there s'ill higher, though Ouachita is re-
ported falliug slowly at Monroe. Red river is also
falling. Considerable damage was caused by Pointe
Coupee crevasse, which is now a quarter of a mile
wide. So far the damage is not so great as was ex-
pected.
It is believed that the break at the Landry place
in Ascension parish, and those below the city at
Story's and Live Oak Grove, will be closed. So
far the damage to the su?;ar-producing section of
Louisiana has been comparatively light. Two
hundred and sixty thousand government rations
have been distributed in this State, besides contri-
butions by private citizens.
Governor McEnery lias received applications for
rations for 70.000, Madison parish having added
12,000 to the previous application. In response to
a telegram from Governor McEnery, earnestly
urging the commercial bodies of New Orleans to
appoint a committee to solicit immediate relief for
the destitute people, the Cotton Exchange to-day
held a meeting and resolved to place lists in the
hands of the committee and request members to
contribute to the full extent of ther ability.
The commissioners appointed by the governor to
distribute government rations will distribute other
rations.
H. F. Wilson, clerk of the steamer Natchez, says
matters have not changed any for the better since
his last trip, but, on the contrary, are good deal
worse; that stock is in a terrible condition; that on
any knoll anywhere in the ovei flowed district you
cau see thirty or forty head of cattle, aud some-
times several dead ones are lying beside their liv-
compauions. Gnats are literally eating them
alive. On one part of the levee on his trip down
there was a pile of wood about half submerged,
and on top of it were twenty sheep and a large
number of hogs, which had taken refuge from the
water. He says that they were out of danger from
water, but in course of time they would starve to
death. The river here is stationary, and is eight
inches below 1874.
Telegraphers In Council
Cincinnatti, March 18.—At yesterday's session
of the National Convention of Telegraph Opera-
tors the constitution as reported by the committee
was acted on until midnight. The main features
of it being so far as adopted are: The organiza-
tion shall be known as the Brotherhood of Tele-
graph Operators, composed of divisions known

this morning, which resulted in the destruction
the building, togother with three locomotives and
>everal freight cars, entailing a loss of f3o,000.
Rumors are afloat this morning that the fire was the
work of incendiaries, but it is believed it resulted
from locomotive sparks. The watchman, an old
man and his son, named Donnelly, were sleeping
in the building when the fire occurred, and are
supposed to have perished.
Chinese Immigration.
San Francisco, March 18.—Several Chinese
women, supposed to be courtesans, who arrived on
the British steamer An joy and were held by the
i authorities to be sent back to China, were brought
1 nto the Supreme Court on writs of habeas corpus.
Captain Roper, of the An joy, testified to the great
laxity on the part of the American Consul Mosby
in relation to Chinese emigrants, in proof of which
he produced blank printed forms signed by Moe-
by and bearing the consular seal, the same being
certificates required to be produced by immi-
grants, which Captain Roper stated he could him-
self fill in as he ch<"*se.
The Weavers'Strike.
Lawrence, March 18.—The strike of the weavers
this afternoon put a more alarming aspect upon
affairs. There are now 970 looms vacant by the
ring spinners joining the s riking operatives. The
number of striker- is over 700, and ether weavers
of the Central Pacific, numbering 400, strike to-
night, their intention being not- to resume work on
Monday.
The strike of the weavers was unexpected at this
time, as the reduction in their wages will not take
effect before the 27th, but such a. strong pressure
has been brought to bear upon them that they
would not continue at their looms.
A Revenue Agent's Report.
Washington, March 18.—Revenue Agent Brooks,
of Greensboro, N. C., reports in regard to the
seizure of the tobacco factory of Eugene Johnson,

tion began.
The Small-Pox Epidemic.

Small-Pox In Virginia.
Lynchburg, March 18.—There is intense excite-
ment in Bradford county over small-pox there.

at the head of the canal about 11 o:clock and now
lies in a precarious condition with eve 17 proba-
bility of breaking in two. The accident was
caused by a blockade of coal barges at the entrance
of the canal. The Montana is a llOJ-ton boat, and
was on her way from Pittsburgh to St. Louis with
large miscellaneous cargo. A barge is at the
steamer and a large gang of men are removing
her freight. The steamer has a portion of her hull
broken and is hogged badly just under the boilers,
It is expected she can be released before dark.
It will be necessary to go into the dock before she
can proceed on her voyage.

Campaigns of the CivrL War.—Charles
Scribner's Sons, publishers, 743 and 745 Broad-
way, New York, are issuing a series of twelve
duodecimo volumes of about 250 pages each,
with maps and plans. Each volume is the
work of a separate author, and the plan is that
each campaign shall be chronicled in one vol-
ume. The authors, with two exceptions, were
participants in the campaigns they describe.
Six volumes are already out and have gained
much praise from Northern journals of Wgh
standing. The first volume is entitled The Out-
break of Rebellion, and is written by John Gr.
Nicolay. private secretary to President Lin-
coln. It is a preliminary sketch, and incident-
ally criticises "the action" or inaction of Presi-
dent Buchanan with severity.
No. 2 is entitled From Fort Henry to
Corinth, written by Brigadier-General of Vol-
unteers M. F. Force, of Cincinnati. It covers
the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson, the
battle of Shiloh, etc., 1861-^6'i.
No. 3 is entitled the Peninsula, by Alex. S.
Webb. LL. D., general of division, chief of
staff Army of the Potomac. It is a history of
McClellan's Peninsula campaign from his ap-
pointment to the end of the Seven *Davs Fight.
No. 4 is the story of the Army under Pope,
written by John C. Roper, of the Massachu-
setts Historical Society, who has gone to the
reports of Generals Lee, Longstreet and Jack-
son, on the Confederate side, as well as to
authoritative Federal sources.
No. 5 is the Antietam and Fredericksburg
(not received.)
No. 6 is Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, by
General Abner Doubleday, whose recital has
the freshness of personal acquaintance with
the scenes, events and prominent characters
of the history and of personal participation in
the great battles which the author describes.
The volumes to follow have the promise of
making a complete history of the war, yet each
one is complete. The plan of authorship has
decided advantages at the present stage of his-
tory. It is ably carried out. The books are
pithy, well printed and bound, and cheap—$1
per volume.
Hubbard's Newspaper and Bank Direc-
tory of the World. Edited and published

newspapers and fifteen thousand banks
throughout the world. Embracing, substan-
tially, all newspapers, magazines and quarter-
lies published upon every continent, in every
empire, kingdom, nation, province and island,
together with the names and localities of the
leadiug responsible banks and banking insti-
tutions of^every country upon the earth, with
maps and gazetteer iniformation of all the va-
rious nations of the world. A remarkable

the general trade and business interests of the
world. It is printed in various modern lan-
guages.

South American Notes.
Lonoon. March 18.—Advices from Buenos Ayres
to February 24 state that Walker Blaine was about
to resign his mission and return to the United
States with Treseott. The new American envoy
expected the protocol to be signed at Santiago,
wherein Chili declares she meant no offense to the
United States by the arrest of Senor Calderon.
Treseott repudiates Hurlbut's action as offensive
t.. Chili.
The Chilian government declares it will not treat
with Calderon, and will make peace only on the
following conditions: Cession of Tarapaca in
perpetuity; occupation of Peru as far as Moguega,
until indemnity of $20,000,000 is paid; and posses-
sion of half of the guano islands of Peru. Tres-
eott has agreed to these conditions, and has for-
warded a copy to Washington.

Editorial Expressions from the Lead-
ing Papers.
[Washington Post.l
If a few more posthumous letters and inter-
views could be raked up they might make Gen-
eral William S. Rosecrans president of the
United States, in order to let the world believe
that the people of this country do not believe
iu ingratitude.
LSt. Paul Pioneer Press.1
Senator Edmunds is said to have declined
the supreme judgeship. A second choice
nomination was beneath his dignity. He was
certainly the first choice of a majority of the
members of the bar and the public generally,
and his assertion of his dignity by declming
the high office after it had been offered to and
rejected by even so able a gentleman as Mr.
Conkling, will not be condemned.
(Chicago Times. 1
The Tammany Republicans voted with the
Cornell Republicans to cor. firm the governor's
nomination of Baker for superintendent of
prisons, and their reward, it is generally under-
stood, is to be the patronage of Sing Sing prison.
How long these two sections of the Republican
party will act together is a matter of specula-
tion only, the older Republicans claiming that
their young converts pray for a fresh deal
every time a new nomination is to be made.
Baker's nomination has been condemned by
the Republican press as one unfit to be made.
[Chicago Times.]
The governor of New York is profoundly
disgusted at one result of the deal between the
Republicans in the assembly and the Kellyites.
Tammany put in a number of engrossing clerks,
who, being decidedly illiterate, have made sad
havoc with the bills. Some of these have been
sent to the governor, who has returned them
privatley, calling attention to the bungling
manner in whichjthey have been copied. But
there is no remedy for it. Tammany insists
that its strikers must be cared for, if they cau't
spell.
LSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.]
The "Apostle Paul," a well-known "crank,"
rose in the Senate gallery and created a mark-
ed sensation by applauding the dreary Dawes,
who was at that time in the throes of a
speech on the Chinese question. It was the
fir^t time that Dawes was ever greeted by
clapping of the hands in his life, and his
first impulse was to dodge under a desk to
avoid what he supposed to be the falling of the
roof tiles. The insanity of the "Apostle Paul"
being clearly established by this act, he will
probably be sent to an asylum without the
expense of an inquest.
[San Francisco Chronicle.]
We have more land than people, and it is to
our interest to encourage the influx of popu-
lation from Europe. We shall encourage it
only so long as it is to our interest. No State,
no uation ever did more. Should the South
pour into Massachusetts a swarm of colored
emigrants proportionately as numerous as the
Chinese invasion that threatens this State,
Massachusetts would very quickly give up the
fine theory of Senator Hoar, and" if we do not
mistake the mercurial quality of her people,
treat her new arrivals as their Boston ances-
tors treated the taxed imports of tea.
[Providence Press.]
Did not Mr. Trescot receive Secretary Fre-
Hnghuyson's dispatch depriving him of thf>
powers with which he was clothed by his ori-
ginal commission? In spite of the timidity of
President Arthur's administration, and its
earnest desire to assume no responsibility- in
connection with securing peace between "Clili
and Peru, Mr. Trescot has negotiated a treaty
which may possibly be accepted and l ead to
the evacuation of the latter country by the
troops of the former. The policy inaugurated
by Mr. Blaine in connection with t'ue Chili-
Peru difficulty, if carried out, wov/ld have re-
flected much credit upon the U nited States.
As it is, it will not be our fault if. this and other
South American republics retrain any respect
fcr our diplomacy.
LIVE STOCK.
Ennis Recorder, March 16 : Mr. M. Lynch, of New
Mexico, purchased of Mr. Jim Farrar, of our city,
last week, 1000 head of stock cattle for the Tecloke
stock company, of New Mexico. We understand
that another bargain was olosed by Mr. Lynch for
2500 head from another party in the southern part
of the State. Mr. J. K. Farrar last week sold 2500
head of cattle, none over two years old, nearly all
mother stock, to Stevenson, of southern Texas.
On the 8th instant a man by the name of Combs
sold 1200 head of mother stock to the same party.
Flatonia Argus, March 16: Mr. Priest Dixon, liv-
ing near Mouiton, Lavaca county, was in town
Monday. From him we learned that he had re-
cently effected a sale of 330 native brood mares
and twenty broken saddle-horses to Messrs. Nay-
ler, Clendennen A Jones, who would drive them to
Baxter Springs, Kansas. Mr. Dixon realized $15
per head for the mares and $40 each for the
horses, aggregating the sum of $5750 for the lot.
This is the largest transaction of the kind that has
ever occurred in this portion of the State.

Rev. Dr. Wiggin says: "One of the best reme-
dies for Catarrh, nay, the best remedy we have
found in a lifetime of sufferizig, is SanfuRd's
Radical Curs. It is not unpleasant to take
through the nostrils, and there comes with each
bottle a small inhaler for use in inhalation. It
clears the head and throat so thoroughly that,
taken each morning on arising, there are no un-
pleasant secretions and no disagreeable hawking
during the entire day, but au unprecedented clear-
ness of the voice and respiratory organs."
