BEAUTY.

Not on the earth
Hath beauty bloom, hath beauty power
This is alone its natal hour
The chamber Of its birth
Here the germ dwclls,
And, prone TO silence and TO night,
II bursts to love and life and ligh,
As daisies in our dcils.
But not on earth
Hath beauty growth beyond the flower
The life that, In day or hour,
Goes to another birth
And all we see
OF beauty is glmmer bright
Is but the promise Of a night
The glory that's TO be-
When. in the skies.
The spirit doth unfold and find
Iifes hopes grown perfect 90 The mind,
For bcan,y then /, sighs
Aud beauty there
Compares with beauty here below,
Az mornings golden skies nglow
With murkcsi clouds compare
The forms wc love
And cherish for each fiultlrss lac,
But shadows are Of those divine
That W. shall know above,
So let US live
In lov. OF Nature, noi of art,
That each may then. With rcverent heart,
Fit homage have TO giYc.

THE idea of the Radical party trying
to control the Irish and German vote
of Texas, o. any other foreigners, while
in keeping with theirshame-fa cedness,
is superlatively ridiculous. Think OF
an Irish Radical! AS well might we
in agine COW with h0ofs like q horse.
The Irishman, if true to his birth and
inherited instincts, is as certain to be
friend OF liberty as the newly Matched
alligator strikes at once for the nearest
water.
No, the true-hearted German, Dane,
Norwegian, Swcde or other sons OF
Europe. They come to America To en-
Joy liberty, to be on an e' EN- footing
with other men in the enjoyment OF
right. Justice, education and all the
other blessings of free government. II
possessed of the intelligence common
to their countrymen, they instinetively
realize that American Radicaiism is q
cheat and a sham, and they speedily
learn. If not already posted, that from
the foundation of government the
great Democratic party, founded by
Jefferson in 1890, has ever been the
friend, patron, protector and defender
of equal fights and of foreign emigra-
ton to this country The mereenary
leaders gofl Radiealism in Texas may
mislead tie poor, ignorant negroes,
hut they cannot deceive the Intelligent
foreign-born citizens. litss

Forests Residence.

Some one who has been visiting the
house of the late Edwin Forrest, writes
that the picture gallery ''containssome
fine gems of art, and presents no
change. The library, however, is
changed aterially, all the books having
been removed and boxed preparatory
to removal to the Forrest home. The
other chambers of the house remain
about the same, and even the death
cham Der presented exactly the appear
ance as when the great actor expired,
with its wardrobe Of cast of apparel,
dumb bells, Indian clubs, etc, for his
gymnastic exercise. In fact, Il small
pair of iron dumb-tells were found at
The side of the bed, having donbtlessly
been used just befoie his death. Mr..
Forrest was fond of exercise and in
dulged in it to excess. His likeness
meets the visitor at every turn, consis-
ting of the marble statue of himself,
numerous busts and photographs OF all
the characters he impersonated. Every
thing prnsenls d Forrest aspect, indi-
oatiSe of his peculiar taste for the
pictorial as well as dramatic art. The
Forrest home should have been erected
on the spot of his mansion. 1t would
have constantly been seen by thegreat
public, OH this magnificent thorough
fare, and proven fine memorial of
the deceased actor.

Reduction, in Dry GOOds-A Fall Of

A reporter who has just visited lead

monetary stringency has little tenden-

in the various departments. Mr.. Stew
art, with his usual shrcwdness, seems
to have anticipated the general reduc-
ton which must come. and has
marked down the prices of stock ON
hand as well as upon that laid in since
the commencement of the crisis. 1t
was thought it would be some time be-
fore the market would become settled
again. Mr.. Stewart while in Europe
nov returned in excellent health, we
are glad to say, bought large quanti-
ties of goods at low rates for cash, and
these are arriving in weekly install
ments, and are offered at rates suited
to the times. Silks, which sold few
months ago at one dollar and halt,
are now put upon the market at sew
enty-fye cents, and were opened to-
dav. The house foresaw tile depres-
sion and put their stock in a condition

We notice with great pleasure the
increasing tendency to introduce fine
stock into our county, and this part OF
Texas generally.
Captain Ed. Still, of Collin, is in the
lead on the hog question, having pork
crs weighing from three to six hundred
pounds. He is realizing handsomely,
and demonstrating the profit of good
over inferior swine.
Elder Gano has brought out from
Kentucky II fine lot of superior young
cattle, which are for sale
In this Mr.. Henry Snodgrass has two
cows, brought from Missouri last winter
their calves being about eight or nine
months old-which jointly give eight
or nine gallons of milk per day, thcil
feed costing thirty cents daily.
If our people would consult theil
own interest, case and comfort, they
would omit no opportunity Of securing
good COWS, horses and hogs. Fewer
animals, of first quality, well cared for
in country like ours has come to be
pay far more profit and with less labor
and risk of loss according to the capita
invested, than DO ordinary animals
Kentucky and Missouri people have
grown rich by the change, and Nortl

RADICALISM,

In its death throes, continually
gasps that Democrats are selfish Of
flee seekers. They labor hard to per-
suade unobserving men that such is
the fact. Fit were true, it would be a
Just ground OF complaint and ought to
weaken any party. But we deny it.
Let us look ut few recent and con-
sistent facts, which, so tar as they go,
prove the reverse to be true.
When the State Convention assem-
bled, there came from four to eight
names before it, presented not by
themselves, but by their friends, for
each office. The moment Judge Coke
received the requisite number of votes,
his leading opponent moved to make
his nomination unanimous, and was
cordially seconded by all the others
When Hubbards name was unex-
pectedly brought forward for Licnten-
ant Governor, as an East Texas man,
every gentleman who had had any
prominence. for the Office, without
waiting for u ballot. promptly with
drew in Colonel Hubbard's favor and
voted to nominate him by acclama-
ton. '''
The same unsclfsh spirit was mani
tested in regard to dfl the other offices.
There was no pickering. no Yearning
for place, but patriotic desire to dis
card self and look to harmonious unity
i'm order to redeem the country. Not
single man thought or has since
thought of boiling. m a ~
We fling these potent facts in the
teeth of our Radical villiiiers.
Again, neither in this county or in
this district is there single better.
Many were defeated iii the primary
election, but each man knew it was Il
tree contest, and that If hehad received
the nomination, the whole party
would vote for him most cheerfully.
Theya,l, without exception, prove their
u,n-elti,l patriotism by supporting the
ticket. we also pitch these incontesti-
bic facts in the teeth of our unjust ac-
c,.ers. IN every case such action is
the n, nc honorable when nomina-
ton is known to be an equivalent to
al election.

The Austin Journal, the organ of
Governor Davis, edited by his Secretary
of State, James p. Newcomb, is dis
gushing every virtuous and decent
man in the State who sees it. New
comb secs in the forthcoming ELECTION
the death of his once proud hopes to
he life time prnsioner on the hard
earned money Of the people ofTeXas,
and, at the same time, enable him, as
henchman to ADLER tyrants, to ride
rough shod over our rights and liber-
ties. The thought makes him mad
and crazy, and he acts like the MUIR
derer who dances and jokes on the gal
lows.
Jimmy Newcomb is blue nose,
born in Nova Scotia, brought to Texas
in his childhood by Thomas Newcomb,
bis father, q man of fair character, but
eccentric turn Of mind. Jimmy, on
assuming his fair efforts, got The wrong
foot foremost, and has been ope-eyed
handy shanked boy eyer since. Time
has developed in him little lean and
hatchct face rs he is, first class repro
bate, in apoltical sense. Our only con-
ISOLATION, as an old acquaintance OF his
father, is that he is rs crazy as bed
bug soaked in brandy.
