The Orphans Home Bonner OF recent
date published the following 10 regard TO
two ofour leading citizens; About q year
ago We received g donation Of $50 from
President Davis, through Mrs. Laura
Reed. Another gift Of so, recently re-
! celv6d from b same OurCe proves that
great man, in the midst Of his exscJing
duties, does not forget his Unf0rtuusbe
/ little C0untrymen. Also, received az the
same time $50 from Hon. James Phelan,
Of Memphis, Tennessee. A thousand
l Thanks 20 both, and may they receive the
return, good measure, pressed down and
shaken together, and running over"
The following paragraph belongs to q
school OF writing intended IS wit, but
which is simply brutal. We srs almost
daily surprised 70 ind matter Of this sort
in newspapers Of character and respect
ability : An Indiana sChOUlmsster lifted
q little boy by the esr. That reminded she
boy Of something no hsd In his pocket. II
was q knife, which, being of no use in his
pocket, he stuck tt into the schOOlmastsr's
left side. The sChc0lmsster's heart was
30 much affected by this cutting reminder,
tina be at nCe gave ssr TO that boy, and
he has never lifted any little boys since.
We are inclined to believe that the
execution of the nurd6rsrs Of Crockett
and Of a white man will not occur till the
9Th Of June instead Of to-day, as hereto
fore published. People should inquire
before crossing the river. However, the
Sheriff Of Crittsndeu, Billy Hardin, Is
just the cleverest fellow in the world,
and II a good crowd goes over, be will
furnish them all proper amusement. A
difference Of only : month 10 The Jims of
ones dying by the rope doesn't signify
anything. Billy viii get the consent Of
the condemned 70 the little change in the
pr0graums.
The hrsr through sleeping car from
ST Louis arrived here on Sunday, and
returned again the same day for that city,
with the Nilsson troupe. We learn that
the car was especially engaged by tie
company, and some little feeling was
manifested by the Lydis Thompson
troupe As they did MOI get 3 sleeping car
until they reached Humboldt. The car
alluded 10 came through from st Louis
uucsr the especial supervision Of Mr.. W
X. allen general passenger agent Of the
Iron Mountain railroad. We hope that
the day is not far distant when we can
get aboard . sleeping car here in the even
ing, and breakfast in st. Lou without
changing cars. As it is, Nilsson and her
troupe have accomplished a feat which
others Of US can only hope 20 do in the
future.
Prom some verses entitled "If we
would, % which appeared recently in the
P~aiuesville Texas Telegraph We take The
following for the sake Of the moral which
they convey
If we would but check the speaker,
When be soils q n~eighEOr'z fame:
If we would but help the eTring,
Ere We utter W rds Of blame;
III We would, bow many might We
Turn from paths Of sin and shame.
Let Us 60 outside the stronghold
Of our sslfsbness and pride;
Let US Ifs cur f~sintiDg brothers,
Let US strengthen ere we chide;
Let as, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold q light 70 cheer and guide.
In each life, however lOwly,
There are seeds Of mighty good,
Still we shrink from "a appalling
With timid "if we could"
But our God, who judFeih al things,
Knows the truth IS, eli We would"
