Toward ia" conclusion Of the battle Of Sal
tJacinto, It Iryan ranger dashed frunticaIlv '
into a tent whore Houston was asleep, and
reused him With the exclamation OF.
"IicDeraI, the day is ours"
"fJu iitarate fv!ow," exclaimed the
brave old soldier, scowling at the frightened
man why can't you speak properly! You
should say the 'day is composed Of hours"
The ahashcd ranger mutte.ed comething
about being soldier, and knowing nothing
about time ;waereupUn Houston reprimapd.

"know nothing ab ut time, you scound-

The ranger da-ertad that night.

accept for their sakcs."
Samuel Houston was unanimously nomi-
mated for the Presidency by the Washington
Monument Convention of this city, and will
probably receive votes in every State except
Texas. The assertion that he should have
been nominated ~ Vice President Of the
Douglas ticket on account Of his many vices,
IS unworthy Of attention for a moment.
