were omitted. A mas remarked on the street veslerduy that he liked the Statesman because It never hesitated to nnelnak the rascalities of placemen and politicians. The Statesman is not particularly fond of shooting at game concealed in high places, but when the dear ducks will crowd around in sight and make targets of themselves, we don't mind snapping a cap or two at them. The Statesman- is working cn the principle thai the people are all right, and that the place men and politicians alone need watching. A courageous, conscientious daily paper can make money ia a city the size of Austin, and only tinkling, toadying organs are left to starve out, as they deserve to.

New Wood Yard. W. M. as will bo seen by advertisement, have established themselves at the old Janua stand, on Pecan street, under the name of the Colorado Wood Company. These gentlemen commence business under the most favorable auspices.

They have purchased a large tract of land up In the cedar brakes, and raft wood down the river In large quantities, while they supply themselves with wood by the car-load. They have powerful machinery, and every facility for prosecuting the business upon the most economical way, which has enabled them to supply citizens with wood, sawed and split to suit, at the low rate of six dollars a cord. The Statesman wishes thera the greatest success in their new enterprise. Emancipation On nnxt Saturday, the nineteenth the colored people of this county and surrounding country will indulge in a celebration, barbecue and picnic, about three miles and a half cast of the city, on the Bastrop road, and from the preparations being made, and the general interest taken in he slf lir, it probable two or three thousand people will be present. We learn that the nnlitarj band has been employed for the occasion, and that liberal contributions of eatables are being made.

Davis Stewart, chairman of the committee on arrangements, called and authorized the Statesman to say that a general invitation is extended to the peo ple to be present, and that those feeling a friendly interest in the welfare ard advancement ot the colored people will especially receive a cordial greeting. Bridub the Colorado. While some of our wealthy citizens are talking about State fair, water, opera house, cotton compress, ice and other associations, it is a little remarkable that a company is not organized to bridge the Colorado river, or steps of some kind taken towards the accomplishment of so important an enterprise. As a general thing, money invested in bridges brings a sure, permanent and liberal return; and certainly an enterprise of the kind at the State capital would not be an exception to the general rule. Probably there are as many, if not more, teams crossing the Colorado at this point than cross any other stream in the State, and that the number will increase with the growth of the State is a plain proposition.

It is more than probable that the receipts of the Swisher and Thompson Cunningham ferries arc now over fifty dollars aday, and, of course if the receipts are that much now, they will be more than that after awhile, and will increase regularly from year to year. Fifty dollars a day would pay irood interest on an investment of 150,000, which would probably be sufficient to build the bridge. However, it is probable the receipts of the bridge would be at least 100 a day immediately on its completion, as more people would cross a bridge then than cross the ferries now. Bhould the city extend to the opposite side of the river, as it certainly will sooner or later, no enterprise would pay better, if as well, at Austin than a good bridge. Won't somebody do a little figur ing and take some steps for the bridging of the Colorado river at Austin Fashions.

Fashions are ever changing, and editors have as much cause to rejoice thereat as any one else. A few years ago it was fashionable for men to go into an editorial sanctum and remain there until their elastic imaginations refused to longer present subjects for lip service now they seldom remain more than two hours, and some are even susceptible of a hint and got out in thirty minutes. Oh! what a bli'ssing changes in fashions are we prsy for a few more of them, for then we will get rest, and our exemption from the discussion of subjects in which we have no interest will be complete. Until, however, the fashion changes, editors should take some precau tions to prevent themselves, from being inundated with chronic bores who are more gifted with gab than they are talented for industry and usefulness. Perhaps editors might find it to their interest to employ, un der a good salary, some Italian who sieukd broken English, or a Juhn Chinaman, to entertain those patriots who call to spend a few hours in social chat with a newspaper man, and if a few boot blacks, newsboys, book peddlers and insurance agents could be kept on hand, the variety aud rest of the entertainment would be largely enhanced.

The Statesman is always glad to have friends call, but those friends should understand that editors have but little time to spare, and when they begin to around for pencil and paper, the guests a for by in feel aro Column.
