THE wALWORTH TRAGEDY.

Mansfield Tracy Walworth was thrown
into the society of his step-sisters, after
his fathers marriage to the widow of
Col. Harden, and without the idea oc-
curing to their seniors that they would
ever dream of being anything nearer to
one another than brother and sister.
Mrs. Walworth was a strict Catholic,
and the marriage between the Young
people would have been extremely dis.
tasteful to her, since, in the views of
tnat church, this relationship by her
new marriage was such as to forbid the
forming of closer ties; but the young
people knew nothing of these ecclesias-
teal regulations, and cared little for
aught save themselves, and SO grew to
love each other strongly-so deeply, in
deed, that the passion after awhile alb
sorbed their reason.
Then they secretely plighted the
roth to each other, and took up the re-
months of wild happiness followed. As
WAS inevitable, the secret exposed itself,
when the be.rothed was evidently about
TO become mother. Then scene of
rqcrimination followed. The young
couple made the excuse that they had
promised themselves to each other, and
recognized one another by solemn words
of agreement between themselves as
man and wife, and that this agreement,
according to civil law, was marriage.
There was then but one recourse left.
and that was to make the best OF an IN
happy passion, and unite them by for.
NAL ceremony of the church. To this
cheerful assent was given, and it was
accordingly done. The marriage that
had become necessity was formally
solemnized, and three months after
Frank II. Walworth was born.
As might be expected, when the pas
sion cooled the couple looked upon
each other with changed eyes, and each
came to think that their choice would
have been different had they not been
thrown together in common house
hold. Hence it happened that they
quarreled and finally separated. Each
was Jealous of the other, and each de-
spsed the other for youthful weakness
and indiscretion. Letters passed be.
tween them containing recriminations,
and some of their strange missives came
into the possession of the young par
rcide.
Taunts upon his mother angered him,
and there is reason to believe that he
totally misunderstood the reflections
made on his illegitimacy. He thought
his father reflected on his mothers
chastity after marriage. Fired with
false chivalry, he did not stop to ques-
ton his mother, and the mother had
naturally concealed her weakness from
her son. 1t was enough for him that a
slur had been east upon her name and
his own, He took his fathers life, and
thereby published his mothers early
frailty to the world. Her best friends
lamented this more than the murder for
which her son is imprisoned

SLEEP obtained two hours before

SLEEP obtained two hours before mid
night, when the negative forces are in
operation, is the rest which most recu-
perates the system, giving brightness to
the eye and glow to the cheek. The
difference in the appearance of person
who habitually retires at ten o clock and
that of one who sits up until twelve, is
quite remarkable. The tone of the
system, so evident in the complexion,
the clearness and sparkle of the eye, and
the softness of the lines of the features,
in person of health, kept at concert
pitch by taking regular rest two hours
before twelve o'clock, and thereby OBJ
tanning the beauty sleep" of the night.
There is heaviness of the eye, a sal
lowness of the skin, and an absence of
that glow in the face which renders it
fresh in expression and round in ap-
peyanee, that readily distinguishes the
pelfon who keeps late hours.

couple of gentlemen of that town on a
wager of $50. The winner danced three

hausted the dancing powers of two
ladies'. The other less fortunate con-
testant tnckered four ladies', and was so
overdone himself that he could with
difficulty maintain an upright position.

Since the opening of railways from
Dallas to the great lumber producing
region of East Texas, we note with
pleasure steady growing disposition
on the part of our farmers to build
good houses. And, in this connection,
we would, In all kindness, urge not
only all farmers, but citizens of towns
as well, TO have special regard In
constructing houses TO convenience
and saving of labor. Houses built OF
the same amount of lumber and az
fordiug the same amount ofroom, may
be 50 differently planned as that the
one will perpetually and unnecessarily
impose useless labor and hardship on
the females of the family, while the
other will be so conveniently arranged
as to make housekeeping compare

WHILE thousands of poor working

notice that there are no hard times at

payers are groaning under the weight
Of Increased salary for gambling on

acicass of santan,a and Big Tree.

The New York Evening Post Is as
much troubled to understand the SO
called "Indian policy" OF our govern
ment rs the rest of us. The Post says
that when the government decided to
punish CAPTAIN Jack and his associate
ussassins, as II would white men WHO
had committed the same offences, II
was believed that at last an Indian
policy had been adopted which was
founded OIL principle, and that the SAN
ages were to be treated like other
offenders. The Post, which is lead
ing Republican Representatives,:
"Hardly had we settled down to this
oouyictiDn,. however, when the telc-
graph bring Us news that Santanta and
Big Tree, two of ,he Tors! land pirates
who ever infested the plains, have
been released from prison. The oflense
of these saVages WAS In every
respect as rank as that of Cap
tain Jack. Without provocation,
without even the excuse that they
had not been treated fairly by the gov
ernment agents, they abandoned
their reservations, attacked an inoilen-
sive and peaceful emigrant train, muir
derad the emjgrants, some of them, II
we recollect ,,right, even by fire, and
took possession of all their property.
The treachery and cruelty of the act
were without pailiation, and the people
of Texas, who has SO long suffered
from similar outrages, welcomed the
probability of their execution when,
after fair trial, they were condemned
10 die for their atrocous crimes. Gov
ernor Davis has repeatedly assured the
administration that their execution Is
necessary to secure peace and safety
OH the border, and yet tile supposed
demands of the so-callcd Indian policy
have left them loose to prey upon the
emigral is and settlers. As Il colnmen-
tary upon this mistaken ciemcilcy
comes the news that the savages in
Co orado, who had not yet heard Of
the Modoc executions, and have in
mind only the "Indian policy" are
