Some Facli Concerning Im Invention and far- llnva Manured It nndThoie who I I A JouI If the 'Ittfixtv vvho CoiMiiitmctt, Ouly Oor, on tlie Average, reporting ia beosming ficcenU ibis city, particularly in the reporting of couit prccordings, and this is uoC only the htit for prajlico, but llkawisu the most lacrativc. In every case of importance DOW tritd in Galvt-atuu, where thore Is likely 10 bo an appeal, a utenographer la employed, nnd several i-xpertB are thus enRaged In tho cHflrent courts, each caso averaging to them from $150 to 5-uCO, according to thn amount of testimony to tukeu.

It Is maluly in cases that tiro likely to be appealed tbat the services cf stenographer are engaged, for lu suuh capes only is un abstract of tbe testimony na- refsnry to be sent up to the appellate ccmrc. Tbe fees for stenographic reporting are eatab- lifhed at twenty cents per 100 words, which Includes the transcribing ot the notes, tee teoioiw feature of the task. At the prices paid it might naturally be considered that the work of a tteiiographer was a regular sinecure, bat vben the time and attention neceaaary to ir.BEter tbe science ia taken into consideration, it will be seen that the laborer in this, ai in nanny othur avocations, Is worthy of hire. Although the ute of shorthand con be traced back to the time of the ancients, when a no- called system of hieroglyphics was employed for taking down conversations, the only thorough end comprehensive method waa invented by Isaac Hitman, of which resulted in making him famous. His method was simple and yet complete, with a sign for each sou ad in the English language, and whloh may be raid to have been the foundation upon which all succeeding systems have been built.

It is properly termed phonography, meaning writing from sound, and id not to be confounded with stenography which simply means rapid and abbreviated writing. tbe present day, however, all whonseit are termed stenographers, hence it Is more generally town by the latter term. Namf.roaa systems have invented, and no doubt will be invented in the future, bat tbo fundamental of all, though they might differ ia other respects, is that they represent by the position of their characters every letter of the alphabet, its accompanying sound and tho additional sounds of the doable consonants, such as cb, Bb, th, which are analyzed and arranged according to their nmtaal relations. Stolen and writers of the present after thoroughly mastering any system, eventually invent arbitrary and word signs of their own, becoming in consequence more expert in the practice. said a stenographer to a NEWS reporter, there is no doubt that when first attempting to learn phonography tbe result is rather discouraging than otherwise.

And why? Because the person who Is ambitious to succeed, nevertheless imagines that it is aa utter impossibility to get oil thesigns and rules firmly planted in his memory. Many form a determination to put It through before having any merely lifter glancing over the book, with Its formidable and mysterious array of pot-hooks and saw backs find spider- webs, immediately gee sick at heart aad donoc feel equal to the colossal task. Of course there are exceptions, some not allowing themselves to become discouraged under any circarn stances, and who drudge and work' until tbeir object is accomplished. Naturally, the greatest ambition of every stenographer ia to-be able to write BS rapidly and accurately any human Is capable of peaking-, and this necessarily requires unremitting coil, perseverance and everlasting practice. Some are keener in comprehending the ucience than others, but this by no means Injures absolute tucctss.

A person may thoroughly understand tbo whole business after Btudyine diligently for two months, bnt the tug of war commences when the student attempts to jot down tbe signs from rapid dictation or any Sind of speech making. Then to will be surprised and perhaps disgusted to see how his lingers refuse to obey hi3 will and persist in remaining In one place. Another difficulty experienced by many, i-ven after becoming experts, it in whether or net they are sure of what is said by the speaker. Those who act as amanuenses are less troubled in this respect than others, for a letter is nearly always uttered distinctly and deliberately, from the very fact that it Ls dictated. Borne, however, dictate tbeir letters more rapidly than others, but acy kind of order arid pystera is observed icis generally easier to connect a letter from th? context than a loop: speech, or the longer testimony of witnesses In conrt reporting.

here is no question that court reporting Is the zuoE-t difficult of all. It Is almost useless to attempt it unless the stenographer can write from 150 to 200 words per minuto with confidence and accuracy. Where there are a number of witnesses in a case, the testimony be somes more complicated, and here rapidity and accuracy are indispensable. A $ocd memory, too, is an Inestimable advaac- ugo in such if the fingers are nimbls and elastic, and tin; memory gooi, the stenographer, if not able to keep right up wich L.OUIC. CITY.

and answer, can keep tahmd at lease or eight words and get everything down correctly. It often happens that; he is only balf way through the quesiloa when the wieners but ic is more important to gat the full answer, as the nature of the latcer will give pretty correct idea of what the question was. advanced system of shorthand Is good if tbe person is competent to make proper use of It. Many think their Inability to master its difficulties lies directly in the defective system which they may be studying. This is a grave error.

If tbe system has any merits whatever, any one wbo is not absolutely stupid can make It answer all his purposes. Everystenographer has a system of his "own; that la, after thoroughly mastering everything in the book of instruction, he finds it convenient, from dally experience, to invent word-signs and contractions, which, however, will ba alone intelligible to himself. Bat it answers his object, and tbat is all he wants. It IB rather startling, but true nevertheless, that of every twenty or thirty who begin tha study only one on the average carries it throaxh and becomes an expert. To ere is no truer teat of perseverance and determination than that cf studying phonography.

Numbers imagine that they will be more fortunate than and not experience all the difficulties of tuelr Another great mistake. There is only one way to succeed, and that is by muuths of actual orudgery at tbe outset, and after tbat long and continuous practice." So too stenographer shook his head knowingly and resumed transcribing his notes on the type-writer, which was a visible hint for the reporter to light oat, which he did with thanks for the interruption. Tbe Late IV. A. Cowdrey.

Mr. N. A. Cowdrey. who died suddenly in New York on the 13th instant, was, yeara ago.

a member of the wealthy New York hoase of Cowdrey James, arid will be remembered as principal plaintiff in the celebrated suit against the ptockbolders of the Galveston, Honsion end Henderson, of which the late T. W. Peirce was at that time president. Mr. Cowdrey had bought up a majority of tha first mortgage bonds of the road, and in 1867 brought sail, based on a petition for foreclosure, with a view 1 cf ousting the stockholders and obtaining possession.

Tha latter, prlr cipal ly Gal veston people, with Mr. Peirce at their bead, fonghc Cowdrey bitterly. The distinguished jurist Jero. Black was brought to Texas to participate aa one of tbe -leading counsel in the and after a lotgand tod inns struggle in the courts Cowdrey was ilnaJly defeated. It is a siagular and ttrikiDg coincidence that thesa rolislF, whose business rivalry nearly twenty yearn ego excited so much interest ia proparCy circles throughout Texas, should be calleJ to last account within a few weeks of one another, and that the manner of their taking off should have been almost identical ics suddenness--Mr.

The place WHB a barroom. The two engaged in the dis2usalon were the bar-tondor and reporter, find tbe time on the sbady Bide of midnight.

"Why, of course," said the sm 11 ing barman, "it is tbe easiest thlnp: tho world. I will (ell jou i i A man comes in. aud ni-ka for a particular brand of whisky. I give it to him. Ho tastes ic; shakes his head.

"Won't do. Wants a bettor quality than that. I turn nround and give hitn another hottle i tho same whisky In it. Lilies that a little better, but stilt not exactly what bo wants. IB not afraid of tbe price.

But thp lunniest thlocr to my mind, of all," eald the facetious whisky-seller, is ia dettJiag with the knowing and smart liquor He comes in wtta a biff flourish, looks profound and swaggers aroandto air his superior knowledge. Well, I lay for him. Pretty soon ho wonts a drinlc. I give him.

I apologize aad reach him a different bottle, but whisky unchanged, and tell him fihaVs the beat the place can Pours some out and hts eyes light up. says he, "lean tell by its color that tbis Is fine liquor. You can't sell me, old boy; I've had too much experience And then be.drinks it down with genuine gnsto. That's the way the boasted.tester is sold. Jn fact," said the bar-tender, confidentially, "there are really-very, few who are able to correctly judge the various qualities of bitty.

Even drummers, with all their experience, of ten.get sold. It's an acquired ao- mplisbment, and-tnt only Way to be aa expert sampler is to be an habitual drinker of every known brand and quality of liquor. Some are best able to ja-Jge what it Is after they get themselves on the outsidu of it. Othersslmply by the taste. Bat it Is passible for some of the greatest oxperts to occasionally be token in.

Sometimes I myself, when getting -whisky outside, get a very poor article, for which! have to pay a good price. "OE conrze," interrupted tne reporter, "yon aever keep anything like poor quality in your owa fchopT' The whisky sliager looked unutterable thirjRs, and tbo grin that stole over bis blushing countenance WOP angelic and sublime. The Interruption, however, waa unfortuaate, for it put a scnmmry stop to his genial flow of speech, and no further exertion on the part of the scribe could induce him to wag his toogue about whisky. Sol Smith Ituucll at the Tremont. The people of Galvestou ara not difS.ealfc to please in tbe theatrical line, and wlteu a de- ta-rving attraction is presented they pay'ic tho proper tribute of their unstinted patronage.

tiol Smith Ruseell has a reputation here that IP established, and firmly so. In the hearts of tbe theater-going people, and when he appears tbe habitues of the opera-hoaso know who aad what they are going to without the necessary adjuncts of a lot of glaring paper upon dead walls, considered a necessary auxiliary to a company that fails to present anything worth looking: at inside the tUeiter. Never was thin more folly illustrated than by tbe large assemblage lost night at the performance of Felix McKusickj delivered ia all Lbe Bpiiit and drollery of Sol Smith KtiAsell. Tbe play is new, but ia tbe hands ot Mir, RUJ- sell, whether new or old, it is 'jest the same-complete and systematic throughout, with, no di'gn of blur or blemish. Mr.

Russell has the happy faculty of adapting hioosolf with equal t-ncctss to various rolep, and last night won tbe favor of all by hi3 splendid impersonations and facial expressions, wth other unmistakable evidences oC a genuine humorist. His representatioa of the seedy newspaper genius ia the opening act. as the editor of the struggling country weekly, can not fail fco excite admiration at the truly natural and matter-of fact way in which Jt Is carried through. Ho also bos the gift of abandoning himself to tna spirit of the play, and in the forzetfalnssa of all else achieves on actor'a greatest tbe art of appearing: naturally, unburdened with anything stiff or con a trained. He unquestionably Has the beat: repose of an? cume- dian upon the American stage to day.

It can not be said tbat Russell. lias a voicn for pinging that would' pass muater even In a -well-organized church-choir, buc there is A peculiar mannerism about it that never fails to attract.

THE COUIll'S. Tbe Strike Articles of capitulation have been drftwu up between tbe white strikers and tbe colored laborers wbo have been employed by toia Mallory line to work in their places on fche New ork dock. The proposition from the committee representing the white laborers is that there shall be a division of the work, the wblte colored laborers working'weak in end wevk out upon the basts of two steamers to tbe waek. The committee Che colored laborers have met this proposition a response tbat they believe in an equal division of labor among all classes, and chac EO one dags of labor should be employed co the exclusion or detriment of another.

While they entertain these views they do not consider that lu is within their province or witbtn the province of auy Ifcljor element to dictate to Captain Sawyer, agent of the Mallory line, whom he shall employ, or map out for him any division of labor. They refer tbe whole matter to Captain Sawyer, and agree to abide his determination. The report of tbe colored men.
