TUKSDAY, JULY 10, 1883.
Our exchanges throughout the State all
speak of the scarcity of mechanics, and par
ticularly of masons and carpenters. Texas is
booming for a fact.
On Saturday the citizens of Cuero held a
meeting and appointed a committee to devise
means for the erection of a monument to the
late Gustave Schleicher, and will act in con
cert with the San Antonio committee.
The Washington Critic gives this bit of
wise advice to one portion of the great Amer
ican people: "The tendency of moJcrn in
dustrial and commercial methods is to wipe
out the middle class and divide society into a
very small class of the immensely rich and a
large class embracing the masses of the peo
ple depending on the rich for employment.
The policy of the middle class under these
circumstances should be to make common
cause with the working classes in securing a
just distribution of the products of industry.
If, seeking more than justice for themselves,
they withhold this co-operation, they will be
crushed between the upper and the nether
millstone. The best results for themselves,
and still more so for their posterity, are to be
attaineil by frankly reconciling themselves to
any changes, however radical, which justice
and wisdom may indicate as likely to be con
ducive to the general good. It is a case in
which public spirit will prove to be identical
with the most enlightened selfishness."

The Light's new CampbHl power press
has been shipped from New York, and in a
short time we will mike good our promise to
enlarge the paper. The Limit is growing
with San Antonio, and it will reflect the
growth of the city and its interests. We feel
perfectly competent to make it a paper that
every citizen will be proud of, and we expect
to earn their good will if honesty of purpose
and persistent work will accomplish it. The
proprietors of the Light are young men and
practical, and have nothing behind them but
their experience and willing hands and a well
defined purpose to accomplish all that indus
try can produce. Excellence is our motto,
and the paper in its larger form will be as
brilliant and newsy and readable as it Is now.
The price will be the same as it is at present
only io cents a week.

Of the many columns of comments and ex
pressions written regarding Major Wasson's
down-fall, and the consequences of it, the fol
lowing from the Detroit I'ress, to use a poker
Ism, is the most "pat." "The notion that a
gambling debt is more sacred in its character
than an obligation contracted for food or
clothing, or any of the necessaries of life, is
one of the most absurb notions that ever got
lodgment in the human mind. Yet it has s
wonderfully strong hold upon those who ac
cept it. Paymaster Wasson's faith in if was
exceedingly strong. As he told the court
when asked if he had anything to say why he
should not be sentenced, he regarded the pay
ment of his gaming debU as a practical an-
plication of the lessons he had icceived as to
the honorable conduct exoected as a cnlilUr, '
., , i t i l l,
Kuttui. n.,i.iw''i"niiws juuiumi
idea tint a military man was not justified in i
stealing when necessary to the maintenance ,
of his soldierly honor by paying his poker
losses.
"The vicious notion has its foundation un
doubtedly in the use of the phrase 'debts of
honor,' to characterize the obligations in
curred by betting on a 'bobtail flush' against
'kings full,' whatever those expressions may
imply. But the phrase does not really mean
that a poker debt is any more honorable than
the debt incurred for a spring overcoat. It
grew out of the fact that there could be no
legal obligation to pay losses at the gaming
table and the winner was compelled to rely on
the loser's 'honor' alone. The debt to one's
washerwoman is a 'debt of honor' as much
as the amount lost at cards or on a horse race.
In the former case, however, the debt U legal
as well as honorable, while in the latter it has
no support but honor. And a veiy queer
kind of honor it is when it can only be main.
taincd, as it was in Wasson's case, by the
commission of crime and the sacrifice of
everything that men usually hold dear."

In this practical age there arc still many
persons who indulge in those poetical and
sentimental Ideas that would make woman
"A ereaturo far too bright and (rood
For humati nature'silally loud."
Childlike innocence and utter inability to
pursue any useful occupation are the qualities
that must recommend her to that sex which is
supposed to shield her from alt rude contact
with a world for which she never was in
tended. Reared in a fictitious atmosphere,
the stereotyped young lady of society is a
creature of shallow acquirements, filled with
those romantic and delusive dreams, that arc
sure to be dispelled by the stern Tealilies and
bitter experiences of life.
Marriage is the chief aim of her existence,
and,asshehas never been taught to discern or
admire those qualities that make an honora
ble man and a good husband, is it strange that
she is often
Destined to weeno'er In sadness ntnMit
Thu visions mint worshlppud in inoniliitf'a pure
uKiu.
In the estimation of many born to a life of
luxurious ease, all labor is degiading, and the
woman compelled to earn her bread, even by
her intellectual attainments, is supposed to
have lost that delicacy and refinement which
are the crowning graces of her sex.
Even were this the case, since we are ex
posed to continual vicissitudes of fortune,
should it not be our chief care to prepare our
daughters for any encounter with an adverse
fate, knowing that the loss of a little polish
and elegance is but a small matter compared
to hopeless poverty, galling dependence, or
loss of virtue.
Can there be a sadder sieht than a voune
widow surrounded by her little brood, scarce
ly less helpless than herself, vainly endeav
oring to recall some hall-learned art or worth
less" accomplishment, by which she can un-
hohi that roof so suddenly deprived of its sup
port? Ana yet, witn sucn examples constantly be
fore us, we continue to equip our sons for
the rough voyage ol life, while their frailer
sisters are launched on the treacherous
sea, to sink or swi at the caprice of for
tune. Every girl should be taueht that marriace
is not the only road to an honorable and use
ful career ; and that, while it is her duty to ac
qu re all those domestic arts necessary to the
good housewife, site should also become mis
tress of some trade or prtttession that would
enable her to earn her livelihood in case of
need.
No cirl should spend a mo.iicnt at the niano
f she is unable to dislincuish "Yankee
Doodle" from "The Last Rose of Summer:"
or at painting, unless she possesses a decided
talent for the arl; and, if disinclined to intel
lectual pursuits, she is foolish to think of
teaching, merely because It Is more genteel
than many other things which she might do
well.
The younn lady trained to look upon her
head and hands as implements intended to
cirve out her fortune, and accustomed to
laugh at those silly prejudices that would de
bar her from every avenue of remunerative
employment, is not likely to burden the de
clining years of an overworked father or to sell
lirselt into the cruel bondage of an uncon
genial marriage. If we would take care to
supply that education best suited to the nat
ural bent or inclination of the mind, our
daughters, inslead of a smattering of all things,
would be able to master some particular
branch of learning that would enable them to
earn an independence in case of necessity.
Wc no longer live in an age that immures
unmarried females within convent walls, or
con-pels them to humiliating dependence,
lest their relations should be disgraced
by the honorable activity of their
lives; and we have outgrown that
tender reverence and chivalry that left woman
only the needle to ward off starvation and sus
tain a life ol poverty. In some of our large
cities young'men complain that ihey cannot
marry, since women step into those positions
mat wouiu enaoie mem to maintain lamllies.
Let them strike out into the country and be
come tillers of the soil ; and while learning to
earn their bread by the sweat of their brows,
the bracing air and hardy toil will develop
such strength and manliness as will teach
them to dispise the yard-stick and all indoor
work that might as well be performed by
women.
While we advocate the necessity of trades
or professions for that sex too often van
quished by misfortune, we do not mean to in
sinuate that any one blest with a competence
should, throuch love of chance or prasninp
avarice, relinquish the duties and pleasures of
domestic me. Home ts woman s safest
