AUSTIN, TEXAS.

THUSKDAY --- --- APR. 26, 1883

The war on gambling houses inNew York city continues.

From all over the state come glowing accounts of fine growing corn anacotton.

Ireland's troubles are great andperplexing. There is more than oneIreland.

Gen. IIazen is after reducing thenumber of signal stations, and someof the reduction will be applied inTexas.

Tue government's franchise bill inCanada, introduced recently, gives avote to widows and spinsters with aproperty valuation of $400.

The proposed prohibitory amend-ment to the Connecticut constitutionfailed in the state house of represen-tatives for want of 12 votes.

Tue local Irish societies of Phila-delphia have completed arrange-ments for the land league convention,to be held on the 25th and 26th.

Tue great new bridge between thecities of New York and Brooklyn issaid to be the strongest as well as themost graceful suspension bridge inthe world.

The president felt a malarial touch,and straightway he started for thewhite house, where the thing dealsvigorously with the human form thatis even most divine.

New York's legislature is asked toextend the principle and methods ofthe Pendleton civil service law tostate and local officers. But it is notsaid it will be adopted.

Those big lies that have lately circulated sov freely in the newspapersall followed in the wake of HonThomas P. Ochiltree. It shows thatthe man's influence is felt.

The New York Times and Postthe Albany Journal and the BuffaloExpress, four of the most influentialRepublicans of the state, favor aradical reduction of the tariff.

The Dallas Herald has obtained allthe non-unio- n printers it needs andits proprietors will hereafter run theirestablishment to suit themselves, nota set of tramping disorganizes.

Mb. 1'arnell wanted the landleague convention at Philadelphiapostponed uutil fall, that he might attend. Now we do know that the Irishagitator is one of the most modest ofmen.

Senator Joseph E. Brown andwife, of Georgia, are at Hot Springs,Arkansas. They will remain thereuntil about the 5th of May .when theywill come to Waco, to attend theSouthern Baptist convention.

Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks has beentelling what he thinks of the nextpresidential campaign. He is satis-fle- d

the tarifC will be an issue, but hedoes not attach that importance to itwhich many do. Probably that is onereason why importance is not at-

tached to Mr. Hendricks as a presidential candidate.

Tue Fairiield Recorder is alterLieutenant Governor Martin with asharp stick for fighting the railways.It was to his credit that he did notjoin in an unreasonable attempt tocripple the growth of the state's railway system. There is yet neededtwenty thousand miles of railway inTexas

In , consequence of the dynamitescarce in London, the ' Guards havebeen placed, for the first time in twocenturies, in protection of the courtsof justice. There are two sentries atthe entrance to the great hall; a sen-

try guards the judges' entrance inCarey street and Bell yard, while athird is placed at the door of theguard-roo- m at Somerset Ilouse.

Archbishop Purcell's tongue isparalyzed. It is stated that in his oldage and trouble the archbishop'sfriends have deserted him, and only afew of those whom he befriendedwhen he was at the zenith of his ability and influence visit him now.Some of his former parishioners cometo-se- e him, but, strange and pitiful asit may be, only now and then somekindly .hearts, touched by the poorman's condition, make a pilgrimageto St. Martin's and pay their respect-ful homage to their old friend andcounselor.

The ehairman of the civil servicecommission, in reply to certain statements credited to him that a wholesale discharge of government employes on the incoming of a new ad-

ministration was not forbidden bythe new civil service law, asserts thatwhat he said was that the law hadnothing to do with removals; thatpower to dismiss from office was notabridged by the bill, but that all appointments to office must be madefrom among those found competent,without regard to party.

Frederick Nicholls Crouch,the composer of "Kathleen Mavour-neen,- "

is now lying at Baltimore atan advanced age. He is in needy cir-

cumstances and u movement hasbeen started by musicians in Balti-more and other cities to make up afund for his benefit. Crouch was,oddly enough, associated with JohnHoward Tayne's celebrity as a songwriter, for he conducted the performance in London, of "Clari, or the Maidof Milan" in which "Home, SweetHome," occurs. He came to thiscountry with Max Maretzek in 1849.

The report for the past year of theSociety for the Preservation of theIrish Language states that at thecommencement of the present centuryprobably not more than 400 personscould read and write Irish, whereasthis society alone had disposed ofmore than. 62,000 elementary Irishbooks. . Their publications continuein great demand. The number ofpersons in Ireland who speak the oldlanguage is nearly 950,000, as againstnearly 818,000 in 1871, although thepopulation has during that perioddiminished, in round numbers, 252,000souls. This, as pointed out, is nearlyequal to the number of Welsli peoplespeaking "Welsh. "Not only," it Isobserved, "has Leinster increased inthe number of Irish Bpeaking inhabi-tants, but Dublin has made a considerable advance in this respect, partlyfulfilling the old Irish prophecy."

STRENGTH IJt THE ISSUE.

While the speech of Carter Harri-son before the Iroquois club atChicago may have been the result oftoo much champagne mixed withgenuine bourbon, it has at least wakedDemocrats up to the life there is invital issue upon which hangs, morethan upon anything else, the life ofthe two great contending politicalparties in this country. The indiscreetspeaker, no doubt, soon repented ofhis utterances and would now gladlyrecall them, but this temporary disaffection cuts no figure in results,except that it awakes anew the sentiment that pervaded the country lastfall, when state after state wereunexpectedly redeemed from Repubrlican thralldom, when dismay so seizedthe minds of Republicans that thestruggle of 1884 was already recognized as lost - to them. Democratswho accept with alarm the declarations of Mr. Harrison may at oncesuppress tueir anxiety. Last fall thetenth congressional district of Texasexperienced just such anxiety; it wassaid a Democratic element in this district would wield a powerful influenceagainst a tariff forrevenuo only andthe Bchism appeared to be complete.Yet, when election day came it wasfound that Democracy instead of los-

ing upon this issue, had abso-

lutely made inroads upon the enemy,and the majority, instead of beingtwo thousand as was anticipated,ran up to over three times that much.The issue was made squarely on tarifffor revenue only, and in a districtcomposed largely of Democrats, saidto favor protection at least for wool,the result was absolutely startling.Democrats have nothing to fear fromthe agitation of this question. Afew votes may be lost, for interestedmotives, but it is a vital issue cominghome to all consumers regardless ofparty affiliation, and he who runs mayread that the masses will follow inthe wake of cheaper living and cheap-

er clothing, that the farmers andmechanics will vote for cheaper utensils and tools, the housekeeper torcheaper household and kitchenfurniture, and all must understandthat the business men of the countrywill hail with pleasure cheaper necessities, that there may be- - moremoney in the hands of consumers tobe expended in luxuries. .No possibledegree of animation and interest thatcan be imparted to the tariff discus-

sion can injure Democracy. It willcause bewilderment and disintegra-tion, certainly, but only m the ranks ofRepublicanism, where it is desired.It was discussion of this very ques-

tion that gave victory to the Demo-crats in the late congressional elec-

tions, won the next house and wrungfrom their opponents valuable con-

quests in five or six northern states,without losing one inch of Demo-

cratic ground in the west or south.It is this very issue that thecountry is becoming Democratic on.The tariff is the only living issuebefore the country. Take it awayand there is positively nothina: be-

tween the parties to dispute about.One by one the Democrats havewrenched from their opponents alltheir constitutional positions held tenyears ago. They have extorted fromthe supreme court and Republicanadministrations a surrender of all thefalse policies and practices born din-ing the reconstruction period. Re-publicans still cling with palsiedhands to their protective war tariff,while Democracy, supported by themanifest voice of the country, de-

mands that it, too, be surrendered.Certainly this is no time to becomealarmed because a gentleman talkedfreely and disconnectedly after enjoying himself for some time at theconvivial board. Suppose thetariff does create differencesin the Democratic party :

will its agitation not create disaffection in Republican ranks? TheRepublican party is a high protectiveorganization, with a large an d restless malcontent faction against protection. The Democrats are a tariffreform party, with a very small andthinly spread high protective elementin it. Admitting, therefore, that anexacerbation of the tariff discussionwould create schisms on both sides,surely such a rearrangement is not tobe deprecated by intelligent andthoughtful Democrats, who clearlyperceive that their party must achieveits restoration to national ascendancyin 1884 on this issue, if it then achieveit at all. The Democrats are menacedwith a peril, which nothing buta sharp, intense tariff discussionprobably can - exorcise-'-th- e elec-tion of Mr. Randall of Pennsylvaniato the speakership of the next house,On the only living question of theday, Mr. Randall is in conflict withhis party, in that rtepect is a Republi-can, and it were better for the Demo-cratic future that a Republican werechosen speaker of tue next house thanhe, since he is a high protectionist,and a Republican could be nothingmore. Mr. Randall deprecates a maintenance of the tariff discussion be-

cause it will interfere with hisschemes of election; but for that veryreason nine out of ten Democratsmay well desire to have it made assharp and intense as possible. It isan issue full of strength and promiseto them, and capable, if managedaright, of being made an agent of de-struction to their opponents.

It is thought that the "yerba mate"of Brazil and the Argentine Statesmight be cultivated successfully inthis county. The plant is an ever-green, resembling the orange or thecoffee tree, and the leaves when curedare ready for Tnaking a tea,widely used in South America. It isa most powerful stimulant, and whentaken to excess intoxicating. Its useon long journeys prevents hunger .and,as the writer knowe, it is only neces-sary to drink.mate and draw in one'swaistband to travel great distanceswithout experiencing hunger or fa-

tigue. We are satisfied it could begrown in Texas with success. Thetrade in this product in South Amer-ica is considerable, as the state-ment of its importation into theArgentine Republic shows. In1876, 1,607,368 kilogrammes, valued at$547,407. crossed the frontier fromParaguay, and in 1S81, the aggregateimportation - amounted to 5,175277kilogrammes, worth $691,193. Duringthe same year Brazil sent to the Argentine Republic 8,354,413 kilogram-mes, valued at $1,075,868. The imports of tea and coffee combined, for1881, were only 2,175,501 kilogrammes, valued at $811,214. From theseno-ure-s it will be seen that the con- -

I sumption of mate far exceeds that ofI both its rivals. Probably an attempt

will be made to cultivate it in thesouthern states and in south Califor-nia, and if it can be successfully acclimated a valuable product will beadded to the list of our staple articles.

Mr. Hendricks, Indiana, thinksCox, of New York, would make anadmirable speaker.

Mayor Edson, of New York,made an argument before the committee on cities of the legislature, infavor of his bill clothing the mayorwith the power to appoint chiefs ofdepartments and commissioners, anddepriving the board of aldermen ofthe right to confirm the nominationsof the mayor. He said the presentsystem is demoralizing and dangc rousto the public interests, because agree-ment between the mayor and presentconfirming power must necessarily bebased upon compromise and conces-sion. The growing desire appears tobe to" put an end to the exercise ofpower that demoralizes the publicservice and degrades the character ofpublic servants.

On returning to thehouse her will was read, and when hefound she had left him none of herindividual property he dried his tearsand wept no more. One month afterthis event he led a freshly-mad- e

widow to the altar, having first, how-ever, learned that her husband hadgiven her all his possessions beforehe died. .

The reason-give- by the Mclversfor their retirement from the Cunardcompany is their opposition to thebuilding of any more enormous shipsof the Servia type. They are emphaticin their opinion that the hew steamersare not suited to the Atlantic trade.They entailed, both in constructionand maintenance; too vast an expen-diture to allow of an adequate profiton the working. The Servia. theysay, is a white elephant; but one whiteelephant might be endured. V hen itcame to repeating the mistake severalfold they could no longer acquiesce.

Hon. Jefferson Davis recently toldMr. Morgan, of the Boston Herald,that he does not like to be interviewedbecause he is "constantly beingabused, maligned and vilified by thepress." He further said in a recenttalk with a reporter: What is duefrom me in the way of hospitality Ishall oe only too glad to extend toyou; out we must let politics alone.I am not a public man, nor am I pul- -lic property. I am not a seeker foroffice, nor is any office seeking me. 1am plain Mr. Jefferson Davis, a private citizen, wno. in the evening olhis life, desires to live in quiet andpeace witn nis neigtibors, withoutmolestation or outside interference."

Dr. A. P. Peabody, of Harvard University, preacher and teacher on moral science, says in reply to inquiriestouching the promotion of intemper-ance, that he believes the only reme-dy for intemperance is to make drunk-enness the prime offense and to bringabout a state of public feeling inwhich drunkenness and all approachesto it shall be looked on with detestation and loathing.

It is stated that the puntersrefused to work under a foreman whowas not a "union" printer, and unceremoniously left the office. The pro-prietors positively refuse to again employ the strikers, which is the rightcourse, and will be heartily endorsedby every employer who desires tomanage his own business.

THE VETERAN ADDRESS.

Delivered by Maj. Joe II. Stewart atBelton.

Texas Soldiers of 1S35-- 6 and the Widows of OldTexas Soldiers, Ladies and Gentlemen:I feel at this moment as if I were

at some holy shrine. What an honor,standing here almost in my youth, tobe called upon to speak to you.

When quite a boy I visited theSmithsonian institute at Washingtonand, alone and without a companion,prompted by curiosity, entered thevarious rooms and apartments of thatinstitution. At length I found myselfushered into a large room, perhapseighty feet square and fifty feet fromfloor to dome, and I saw the whitedwalls hung with the pictures of dis-tinguished Indian warriors, adorned,with war paint and feathers andhuman scalps dangling from wampumbelts. Each eye seemed firmly fixedon me and I felt, in my boyish fear,as if confronted by living red men.At that moment I remembered all thethrilling accounts I had heard andread of these men of the forest theoccasion inspired the remembranceand reflections.

Looking now into your faces, I aiualike impressed with this occasion.These wrinkled brows, snowy headsand trembling limbs; these sunkeneyes, gleaming yet with the sunbeamsof patriotism, impress me with themagnitude ot this presence, and 1realize that I am, at this hour, stand-ing in the presence of the grandestliving heroes of one of the greatestpolitical revolutions hitherto knownamong the children of men.

buch a collection ot the living portraits .of men of three score yearsand ten, penciled by the v ery master-han- d

of the universe, it has rarelybeen the privilege of men to beholdsince the days of the prophets andpatriarchs of the olden time.

L shall not allude in detail to thehistorical events in the early days ofTexas that grand temple erected byyou and the dead heroes of the youngrepublic, within whose walls all theliberty-lovin- g men now living and tocome hereatter may gather cour-age and inspiration, and uponwhose polished walls your pictureswin nang wnen nans are eaten withrust, when cords and tassels arebroken an'd when - marble structuresare crumbled into atoms and dust.

Yes, that temple of imperial structure whose foundation stones are laiddeep and sure on the rock of ages andwhose dome now grows and swellstowards heaven and eternity. I wouldonly wipe the dust from its plain,oiti. nooie urns.

Every nation has had its heroic pe-riod and its heroic race. "The heroesof Bexar, of the Alamo, of Goliad, ofSan Jacinto and the Texas Revolutionfurnished the heroic race for Texas,and the revolution 1835 and 1836 washer heroic period.

The heroic age is that time distin-guished above all others by a concur-rence of grand agencies with grandresults by uncommon examples ofthe rarer virtues and qualties of man,tried by an exigency that occurs onlyat the beginning of new epochs, whenthe great bell of time sounds out an-other hour.

The heroic race is that one in thecourse of history which is recognizedas the great agency to kindle andfeed the moral imagination, move theheart and command the intelligentwonder of the world for all time tocome.

Such an age was the Texas Revolu-tion, such a race was that whichfought the enemy upon her thentrackless prairies.

That was not the age of the looking-glas- s,

of dainty appetites and of gen-tle manners. Sam Houston, likeAchilles, sometimes cooked his ownscanty meal. Men then, and women,too, wore blue denims and buckskin;they may have seemed to possess noray of fancy, no emotion of taste;others may have had a quicker eyefor the beautiful in art, may havecontributed more wit, more songmay have worn more decorated armorin battle yet, their lives and deathshave been a whole Iliad in actiongrander, sweeter, of more mournfulpathos, of more purifying influencethan anything yet sung by old ormodern bard.

In 1835, Mexican oppression anddomination became so insupportablethat revolt and arms were the onlyrecourse for free citizenship withinthe borders of Texas, and the few col-onists staked life and fortune uponthe hazard of independence. Allbrave and loyal hearts throbbed intenderest sympathy for the little bandstruggling for life and freedom.

Tennessee sent her Ed Burleson,her Davy Crockett and her James H.Swisher; Georgia her Ward andRusk, her Lamar and Fannin;Connecticut her E. M. Pease; Mis-sissippi her Stephen H. Darden; SouthCarolina her Travis and her Bonham ;

Louisiana her Bowie and her SamMcKneely; Kentucky her Ben Milam;the Old Dominion her Stephen F.Austin, her William L. Hunter whopow sits before me bearing the leadenand bayonet seals 'of Labardie, hishead ripe with years nd honors andshe sent her Frank Johnson, andthere he sits, presiding over your as-sociation like an old and honoredprince of the royal blood; the land ofthe Teutons sent her Kleberg; andhundreds of true hearts gatheredaround them and braver and moreloyal men never defended a woman'shonor or espoused a country's cause.

They came from the south, fromthe north and the east; from thebanks of the flowing Rhine and theland of the green shamrock, to con-test' the palm with the imperiousand' eager foe. They came not forhelp or sordid gold, for the infant re-public was

Too poor to possess the precious ores,And too much of a stranger to borrow.

The world, in all the ages, has fur-nished no grander exemplars of chiv-alry, and God-lik- e

manhood. Young men, just in theuntold delights of a honeymoon,kissed their tender brides a sad fare-well and left to join the'patriot bandthat were then here fighting for free-dom.

A legend tells of an impetuousyoung father and husband who hadheard the tales of woe and dangerthat went out from the women andchildren of this land; for a momenthe looked down into the cradle uponhis first-bor- n, that had just learnedthe first lisping accents of baby-hoo- d;

on bended knee he kissed the boy,arose and wiped the tears, at parting,from, the"eyelids of his fond wife andthen, speechless with emotion, turnedhis face towards Texas, and, withquickened footsteps, sought the goryfield of battle he now sleeps uponthe banks of the Salado river, and ateach nightfall a mourning ash treesings his requiem ; and for nearly halfa century, a woman, now gray, ofsweet but sad face, clad in weeds ofmourning, has made annual pilgrimages to that hallowed spot.

I see now troops gathering alongthe bank of the Tennessee and thetortuous Chatahooche, away up onthe St. Lawrence, in the glens ofScotland and on the blue turf of Kentucky; I hear the long roll of the ket-tle drum and the shrill call of thebugle, and the tocsin of Texas issounding "To the rescue !" Lovingmothers are saying to brave and duti-ful sons, "Good bye, God bless you;"loving sisters are wiping watery eyesand saying, with quivering lips,"Farewell brother;" sweethearts" arelocked in warm embrace and eachBreathing out the tender tale.Beneath the milk-whit- e thorn that scents the

ev'ning gale:And some hopeless, sad but bright-eye- d

maiden is saying,My lips refuse to say farewell ,

For in that word, that fatal word,Howe'er we proriuse, hope, believe,There breathes despair.

A thousand prayerful lips andswelling hearts are invoking God'schoicest blessings; for months, ayeyears, tender hearts yearned for thederjarted loved ones; sorrowful yethopeful eyes each day eagerly watchat the gloaming along the old accustomed paths, anticipating a return orthe departed and thus many a sad tomorrow came ana went. -

And did the husband return to hisfond wife, a son to a prayerful motherwho had confided his keeping to thegod of armies and battles, the sweet- -

I heart to the bosom he had so often! restea upon in the fruition of a rejquitedlove?I Sound the muster roll and let t.hn cl.lent response answer; the dry bones

: at Goliad, the Alamo and at San Jacinto, and even on your own spark--mig jsaiaao, ten their own brave butpituui story.

- But you and those imperishabledead bones planted here the tree ofliberty thus it became watered withthe blood . of human hearts.Though for a time swayed byau verse w mus.mai wee oent its rootsdown below the drought of frost andanarchy; its trunk went up erect, notriven by the storm; soon the ever-green unfolded its branches and it nowaffords a welcome shade for the op-pressed and liberty loving of all thepeople of the earth.

And, where lies the true greatnessor grandeur, in the civilization itselfor the primal human agency that pro-duced it? It is to them that strikethe first blow and blaze the road toprogress ami civilization. The char-acter of Martin Luther will live inhistory when Henry Ward Beecherisquiet in oblivion; the name of Gut-tenbe- rg

will be cherished when thepainteraand typesetters of the presentcivilization are clothed in the darkgarb of utter forgetfulness; the nameof Columbus will be a towering mon-ument when that of the commanderof the steamship Great Eastern iscrumbled into impalpable powder; thename of Morse will electrify the com-ing ages, while those of the presidentsof the Western Union and other om-nipotent telegraph corporations areblotted from the minds of men;the names of Austin andof Fanin, of Bowie and Frank John-son, of S. W. Blount and Sam Hous-ton, of Wm. L. Hunter and DeafSmith, of Davy Crockett and Ed.Burleson, of Moses Austin Bryan andWalter P. Lane, and the men now be-fore me who blazed the road to ouradvancement and civilization, will bespoken with veneration and blessingsa hundred generations after the greatmen of this day in Texas are discardedrrom the pages or history.

Then, whence came these choiceblessings to Texas '4 What humanagency poured this priceless "treasureinto the very laps of the two millionsof people that now dwell within theseborders? You and your comrades inthe early days of Texas were the in-struments, under the direction of awise Providence, to create this civili-zation and unfold our destiny. Youand the courageous wife that followedyour fortunes made these prairies.these rivers, these hills and valleysalmost sacred by your woes, your pri-vations, your heroisms. Men then,footsore and hungry, marched dailywith feet unshod and nightly sleptifpon untented fields; women of highbirth and of gentle manners gatheredno thornless flowers of comfort andease, but they challenged the howlingblasts of the prairies, the tomahawkof the savage and the very welcomeof the solitudes.

It, Sirs, is to you and those of yourSpartan band who have crossed overthe river, that 1 owe the privilege ofbreathing to-da- y this balmy Texasair, of resting in the soft rays of herbright sun, of looking down uponthese valleys which might seem tohave been hollowed out for the veryhome and dwelling place of liberty.

Forty-seve- n years ago this day, avanquished foe lies bleeding on thebanks of the San Jacinto. A fewhundreds of ragged and hungry menare the victors over the thousands ofskilled foreign soldiers, already sur-feited with treasure and humanblood their proud general on bendedknee, hoping for that quarter and mer-cy so foreign to his own heart and solittle in keeping with his own modeof warfare. On that evening thevery heavens smiled, and, for the firsttime, the sun went down on this lib-erated, sovereignty. In its broadsense, Texas was then free. Fromthat good hour, these people havebeen governed by magistrates of theirown selection, under laws framed bytheir own agents.

The "Napoleon of theWest" no longer dictates your policiesor commands your battalions; herenow smiles an independent, peaceful,law-abidin- g, well-govern- common-- .wealth.

Th msands shall spring from yourloins and trace back with pride andlineal love their blood to yours. - Cen-turies hereafter, in great cities, fromtribes of a common Israel, shall cometogether the good, the eminent, thebeautiful, to remember you and learnthe lessons of your unexampled hero-ism. Your influence will endure herefor ages and, until the morning starssing together, your names will bespoken with gratitude and venera-tion.

And shall the state refuse to out-stretch her arm, once weak but nowstrong, made'so by your valor, to ten-der that bounty your noble achieve-ments so richly earned ? Shallthe millions remain lockedand bolted in the state treasury whilethe widows of dead Texan spartansare almost without food ana raiment ?Just here I will state that it was mypleasure to prepare and have intro-duced and earnestly labored beforethe legislature just adjourned to pro-cure the passage of the law grantingyou the meagre pension of $150 ayear; and, strange to you as it mayseem, many obstacles were placed inthe way. The men of gray hairs andtottering footsteps, with exceptions,opposed your demands against thestate while a very large majorityof the young men and let it be saidto tneir nuuur were your lrieuusand stood between you and the oldermembers like "a pillar of cloud byday and a pillar of fire by night." Theoldest member of the senate refusedto recognize your rights, while Mr.Matlock, the youngest, was yourearnest advocate. The lower housefurnished like examples of gratitudeand patriotism on the one hand, andniggardly economy and base ingrati-tude on the other the oldest membersvoting against your just demands, andthe youngest standing by you withunsheathed sword battling ior yourrights.

You, sirs, merit of Texas her high-est honors and richest rewards. Shemay offer her bounties and pensionsin simple morsels, but she cannot cir-cumscribe the memory of your deedsand achievements. There is now nomarble shaft uprisen in the Pass ofThermopylae, but Leonidas and hisbrave band will live when the law-makers of Athens and Rome are indouble oblivion. Nothing, save "thewreck of matter and crush of worlds,"can destroy the monuments reared toyour valor, for they are and will everbe in the hearts of men".

I cannot forget that this is yourfestival, which you have journeyed sofarlo keep. I have, therefore, spokenbriefly. Until this hour I neverlooked into many of your faces, and,perhaps, but few of you, until now,ever looked into mine. It is likelywe may never meet each other againIn this life, face to face. Your goldensands of life are nearly run out, mineare but midway the glass. Many ofyou are now leaning upon your oldand well-wor- n staff, and the nextreunion for some now before mewill not be in this beautiful city, butin the great city beyond the starsthere to hold converse with Bowieand Crockett and Houston and Ruskand other, kindred spirits, and to cele-brate another and a grander independ-ence day.

Heaven bless the grand old Texassoldier and the noble wife who sharedhis privations, his fortunes; and mayno man ever be permitted to dwellupon Texas soil, to rest his head uponher generous bosom, or to sleep be-

neath her green, velvet sod, whoseheart does not vibrate with swellingemotions of gratitude to the veterans,living and dead, of the Texas Revo-lution.

The dear public are equally liberal to theelectric and magnetic fraud. This fellow Is agenius in his line. He will put a magnetic beltaround your waist, a magnetic necklace underyour chin, or U you out with an entire suit ofmagnetic clothes, warranted to serve the pur-pas- e

to hasty consumption.Most of these have no more electric or mag-

netic power about them than resides In woolenblankets or in girdles of sackcloth. Only wherr ,applied by an expert Is electricity of the slight-est use as a medicinal agent, and even then itsvalue Is grossly overstated. What is the strong-est liossible presumntive nMnniw in fun,. -of a particular remedy?
