pOSTNASTEU JONES.

The Galveston Mercury having init.
mated in its notice of the robbery OF
the postoifice at this place that the
pOstmasters of Texas are a dishonest
set of officials, we take pleasure in
copying and endorsing the following
from the Fort Worth Democrat, in 50
far as 1t relates to Postmaster Jones:
"While we agree with the Mercury
in the abstract, We conscientiously be-
lieve that its application to Postmaster
Jones, of Dallas, is unjust. We don't
know by what means Mr.. Jones secur-
ed his appointment nor To what party
he belongs, but we believe him to he
an honest aud efficient officer.

DEACON JONES' EXPERIENCE
Arkansas Conference.



Yer right when you lays II down, Parsor
Thet the flesh Is weak and snare;
And to keep yer plow In the furrow
When yer cattle begins TO rare
Amt no sure thing. And between us,
The same may be said OF Prayer
Why, stood the jokes, on the river,
or the boys, when the critters found
Thet I'd lined the Church, and the snicke
Thet may he ye mind, went round,
The day sat down with the mourncfs,
In the old calnp-ineetin' ground!
stood all that, and 1 reckon,
might. AT n pinch, stood more
For the boys, they represents Bael,
And stands at the Rock OF the law,
And 1t seemed like u moral scrimmage,
In holdin' agin their jaw.
But thar's crosses Christian suffers,
AS hczn't got that pretense--
Thirgs with no moral purpose,
Things ez hez got no sense;
Things ez, somehow, no proht
WIN cover their first expense.
Ez how was list last evenin'
Addressin' the Throne of Grace,
And mother knelt in the corner,
And each of the boys In his place
When that sneaking pup of Zeziahs
To Jonathan's eat CIV chase
never lei on to mind 'em,
1 never let on 10 near,
But drove thai prayer down the flirrOw
With a cat hidin' under my cheer,
And Zeziah whisperin' "sic herr
And mother n sayin' "you dare "
asked fer light fer the heathen,
To guide on his narrow track,
With that dog and that cat jest waltzln',
And Jonathan's face jest black,
When the pupmade rush, and the kitten
Dropped down on the small of my back.
Yet, think, with the Lords assistance,
| might have continued then,
If gettin' her holt, that kitten
Hedn't dropped her claws in me-when
1t somehow reached the "Old ADAM"
And jumped to my feet with "Amen."
So. We right when you says 1t, Parson,
Tint the flesh Is weak ana snare,
And to keep yer plOw in the turrOw
When yer cattle begins to rare
Amt no sure thing. And between us
1 says it's jist SO with prayer.

to repeat II again this year for the sake
of securing republican success In the

From Colonel Oglesby, of Plano,
whose opportunities for obtaining re-

dition of the crops in his section of the

Denison had an eight thousand dol
lar fire OH Friday afternoon. 1t broke
out in a livery stable on Crawford
street, between Austin avenue and
Rusk street, and burned all of the
buildings west of the stable, for the
entire length of the block. The New s

work of an incendiary, as it was dis
covered in the southwest corner of the
stable in lot of hay placed in an un-
used stall, because the loft was full.

A New YORK republican paper say.

The republican party must abandon
the extreme points in the civil rights
bill. An influential portion of the re-
publicans will not take another step
In that direction. They will abide by
the three amendments which grew out
OF the war, but before they will consent
to confer any more special priv ileges
upon the emancipated negroes, they
will insist that they make better use
of the right of suffrage than they have
been wont to do under such leaders as
Casey, Moses Clayton, and their car
petbsg and scslawag allies.
