THE INCOMING TIDE.-The
Austin Journal says:
"a friend who has just returned
to Austin from a tour through
Eastern Texas, states that from
Waco to Dallas he met a continu-
GUS stream Of immigrant trains
we'll provided with handsome out
fits, fine horses and mules, and
some painted wagons.
Most Of them were yonng mar
ried men, with their households.
They were vending their way to
johnson, Hill, Bell and other adj
joining counties. Many had loca-
ted in Collin county.
Our informant counted in tray
cling from Waco to Dallas six
hundred and fifty-four wagons.
During a three days stay at the
latter city, more than three hun
dred and fifty more passed through
making q total of nearly one thou
sand wagons, for the most part
treighted with families of sturdy
children, and intent upon settling
on the cheap and fertile wheat
lands of Texas.
Along the road at night it look
ed like continuous camp fire
The new corners seemed to be a
picked and superior class, well-to
DO and thrifty, their stock, teams
and general outfit showing com
fort and substance.
AS result of this human tide,
lands throughout that section
were buoyant and rising in value,
and the whole district was busy
and hopeful"

There has come to rs at see
ond hand, from an old United
States army officer, the history
of the beginning of the last
Seminole war in Florida. that
we nevet recollect having seen
in history. Some hundred
miles south of st. Augustine
there was a fort which the re-
doubtable Billy Bowlegs often
visited. While on his last visit
he endeavored as much as in
him lay, to adopt civilized Gus
toms by getting drunk. In this
state, feeling very patriotic, he
went to the flag, lowered it and
trampled npon it in huge dis
dain. The officers had him ar
rested and brought to the flag,
and threatened him with death
unless he raised it again. He
stood sullen for some time, but
at lenghth raised it slowly to
its place. He then slowly left
the precincts of the fort, and
when far enough to be out of
danger, but in full sight and
hearing of the garrison, he
raised the war whoop and dart
ed off at the full speed. Thus
arose the Billy BoWlegs war,
which lasted many years in the
Everglades and thereabouts,
and which cost the United
States hundreds of thousands
Of dollars. Billy never had
more than twenty or thirty
warriors.

ALPHA AND OMEGA.-One of

ALPHA AND OMEGA.-One of
those mysterious circumstances
that add almost a charm to death
seems to have attended the last
moments Of General Robert E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson. In
his dying moments, Jackson ex-
claimed: "Send A. p. Hill to the
front. Letus cross over and pitch
our tents beyond the river"
Lee, dying at Lexington, is re-
ported to have said, his mind wan
dering back from the vale he was
entering to the grand scenes of
the war:
"Let us strike tents" and "Send
for Hill" General A. P. Hill, one
of those great characters made up
of perfect bravery and extreme
modesty, of brilliant inspiration
and prompt execution, was killed
in the last battle before Peters
burg, and on his tomb no living
hand could write a greater cpl
taph than was expressed when
those two heroes, nearing their
God, singled him out as the trust
ed beyond the rest. Hill must
have made deep impression on
the minds of those eminent mon,
that his name should have been
the last on their lips, and it was
always connected with some duty
to his country. With Jackson it
was to send him to the front, with
Lee, to have him sent to him.
That, OF course, meant duty where
there were difficulty and danger.
The first blow for our indepen-
.dence was struck at Lexington,
iii Massachusetts, and is it to
be coincidence beyond the fan
~ of mere seekers after such nat
uraI phenomena, that at Lexing-
ton, in Virginia, the last great
representative and champion of
independence in this country
should breathe his last p N. Y.

Dickens seems to have endeay-

As well educated as the

they do often, in their best
writings treat, English outrage

a grown hog "a pig; which we
