Tho journalistic Dead.

One day last week, and within few
hours, two promipcst journalists Of the
old school passed quietly awsy--one the
Hon. James Brooks, Of the New York EX-
press, and the other John X. Thompson, Of
Tho evening Past but better known in
the South and his native Virginia ns the
editor Of the Southern Literary Messenger,
which he conducted Mt Richmond for n
nnmber Of years. Mr.. Thompson was n ma
tive Of lienrieo county, and had attained
his 5Oth year. lie was awriter of the
purest and most graceful English, one Of
the most widely esteemed men in the
South, u clever critic, and a poet whose
music, though sad, was ever soothing, J.
His health hos for several years been
declining, AID those who met him on his
recent tour through Il South, saw that the
"shadow on the disl had already fallen for
him" that he must soon yield victim TO
that terrible disease, consumpti on, Vir.
ginians were all proud Of this dis'ing-
uished son, aud we have ne doubt his re-
mains will he brought 10 Hcl lywood Gem
etsry at Richmond for final rest, near that
coterie wont to surround him In his hap
piest days-where. as tho Petersburg Ap.
peal very happily puts II, the flowers in
whose colors he first painted his pictures
Of the future, will drop over his last rsst-
ing place where the music Of the waters
from which be csugh: the first poetic in
spiration will murmur an appropriate re-
quirem, and the slscflng army k:cp vigil,
whose valor his poetry seat rounding down
through all ages.
Hon. James Brooks died in Virginia,s
and was q gentleman of varied accom-
plishments and versatile talents. lie was
/. native of Maine but, resided in New
York since the foundation of the Express.
He was widely known and greatly ad-
mred, in and out ef Congress, rs - willing
dehaisr, 4 sltons puitisan and ready
fighter. During the war he won the graf.
iiuds Of the Southern people by his bold
and defiant stand in Congress in behalf
Of the rights Of the States and Of liberty
guided By constitutional limits. Lately
he fell under cloud in consequence of
using his place in CGngfess to put Credit
Mo6ilier stock where it would do the most
gaod for his son in law. For what James
Brooks has done or ed to DO he is now
past human judgment, and the past should

feet. The girdors, like the columns and
rings, hollow, and of heavy wrought iron,
were made upon the ground, and by means
of pullcys raised to their place, and after
baing securely fastened, the trestle work
under the center ring was removed, and
the principal framework of the vast edi-
fce was completed. 1t was with great
interest that We Watched the growth of
this framework. A few days before We
first visited the grounds, one poor fell.w
haJ met his death from the slipping OF the
pulley off the end of tho girder, allowing
il TO fall. In all, three men were killed
during the erection Of the rotunda. Above
the ceatcr ring the strueture was carried
up perhaps fifty feet higher, anl upon the
top rests tho before mentioned crown.
In tho centre Of the rotuuds is to be a
fountain. Throughout the grounds are
scattered vast number of buildings de-
signed for different purposes. Restau-

BEhKSAP, Texas, May l, 1878.
To the Editor Of the Dallas Herald
AS this country is very soon to be made
tributary to the Texas railroad center
(Dallas), perhaps some information of it
may be of interest to your readers, and as
have but lately adopted Young county,
and have been all over it, will give q
description of it, and enumerate some of
its resources.
First, it is so far renewed from any ma
lariOus region, and entirely without any
apparent local cause for sick ness, that il
may well be said to be as healthful coun-
try as there is on the globe. 1t is situate
in latitude go, both the grains, fruits and
vegetables Of the Eastern States, and the
great staple, cotton, being successfully
grown The Brazos river runs through H.;
about one. third timbered, and the rest
prairie; good water generally obtsinable
at from twelve to thirty feet; an abun-
dance of curly mesquite grass, and there
fore not surpassed as q stock country. 1t
has resources Of iron and nickel ore, pot
ter and fire clays, sAlines, and any am
cunt Of the best Of stone coal. /.
The long-ago abandoned reservation"
comprising many of the finest lands in the
country, is now rapidly settling with pre-
empiOrs, and a perfect rnsh is coming
for selections. Good lands can be bought
at from 81 so to S. per acre. We are not
strong now, but BY this time next year,
from all prospects We have, win be the
center Of not less than 5000 families Of
new comers. So hurry up your railroads,
for we win have in store for yon big
trade. Respectfully, J. G. DICKEY.

The Latter Day Saints Of Omaha had
dark seanse recently, all brought about by
the unsopbisticated innocence of local
commissioner Of the press. 1t seems that
aihe peculiar people of Omaha are
blessed in having the services Of muscu-
lar saint as an under sheppard. On the
eve ming in question a Gentle reporter,
probably ins,isated by pious motives,
went to church. His note book also went.
The preacher began to tslk, the reporter
10 write. The former bsheld the latter
prsctisine the black art Of the Gentiles,
with CONDENSATION. He descended from
the rostrun, proceeded TO the reporters
seat. gently laid his hand upon him, and
firmly told him to desist from his rsporto-
rial iabors. The sheppard resumed his ls-
bors Of leading the flock, also the reporter
his work Of taking notes. IL was too
much. That saint was riled. lie made a
rush for the uOte-laker, snatched his book
and hurled IL across the room. The ligms
wsreertisguishcd, and The congregation
made a great ulroar. Pending the melee
the press commissioner had his revenge by
kissing ths fair occupant Of the next pew.
