We believe that there is a widespread misapprehension existing io the minds of a great proportion of tbe people and ?ot a few congressmen in regard to the bill which bas been introduced into congress relative to railroad tickets. While tbe bill does abolish scalpers and forbids the sale of tickets by other than authorised agents of tbe railroads, yet. ii al?d provides that the railroads shall be compelled to redeem witboat loss to the holder, unused, or partially used tickets Is is not safe to conclude always that because a law is urged by railroads and corporations, tbat it is necessarily vi? c?eos. So long as this bill forces the rose's under penalty of ?100 fine to re? deem tbe ticket*, it offers tbe public all that couM be reasonably expected It does save the railroad? a great deal of vexation aod uncertainty be$id?s loss, to have scalpers dealing io all kinds of tickets, rome genuine sad come spuri? ous.

The Bankers and business men of the y of Waco.

"Papa, " she said to tho happy father, "I have thought of a name for the baby. We will call her Imogen. " ' Papa was a matter of fact man, who knew there was nothing in that baby different from most others, and he didn't wish to see his child saddled with a name that wouldn't fit in with other circumstances. "Fancy her marrying a man named Snooks," he thought. "imogen Snooks will sound nice, won't i :? But if I say so she'll begin to cry end will insist upon it."
