Grand May-Day Ba,l at Plano.

Our beauteous sister, Plano, will be
the scene, on the evening of the first
of May, of n splendid ball and supper
at the Durand hotel. Familiar as we
are with the elegant taste ana high
bred courtesy of Captain Atkison, the
proprietor of the above handsomely
conducted hotel, and the social graces
of his estimable lady, we may at once
picture the elevated enjoyment that
will characterize the ball and the
sumptuousness and delicate richness
which will distinguish the constituents
of the supper.
The cities OF Denison, Sherman aud
Mckinney will be represented by a
select delegation of the beauty and gal
lnntry of each, and our own city will
participate through the presence of
several of her iairest daughters and
chivalric sons.
y special train will leave this city at
Z O'clock on the morning of the first of
May, and return at the close OF the fes-
tivities.

senator Summer and the SORROWS
Solitude

senator Summer and the SORROWS of
solitude.
The solace of sweet and soOth-
ing domestic life was denied to Mr..
Sumner. Had it been his fortune
in early years to knit his life of
"a heart, the fountain of sweet tears,
and love, and thought and joy,n he
could easily have borne the ingratitude
of his political party. If faithful
wife, whose devoted affection had
cheered all his tolls, if manly sons and
sweet, blooming daughters had soothed
and beautitied his life, and stood be-
side his bedside in the hours of his
final agony, his lot had been compar-
ativeiy happy.
But the heart-sinking desolation of
death without those tender assiduities,
make fame and public eulogies an
empty mOckery OF the deep-seated
wants of the human heart.
"On some fond breast the parting soul re-
lies,
Some pious drops the closing eye requires"
Those lines from Grey's immortal
elegy, which touch the deepest fonn-
,uibo VI huiuuh lttll1S, Iiidhc US letl
how poor and hollow is any public rec
ognition ofeminent services in compar-
ison with the fond tenderness of sweet
domestic ties, WHICH it was Mr.. Sum-
ners hard fate to lack, to console him
for the ingratitude and alienation of
his political party.
Haw many thousands there are who
would not exchange their home-felt
domestic joys in life, and the tears of
loved ones in death, for the talents, at-
tainments, reputation and eulogies of
q statesman like Mr.. Sumner. The
real valuable things in life are not the
rare, but the co nmon. As pure air and
pure water are of more worth than all
luxur,es, 81 the sweet devotedness of
domestic life outweighs all the glare
and splendor of public life.
We cannot repress n feeling of deep
melancholy that man so gifted as Mr..
Sumner died With only political friend
ships and surroundings, with no ten
der loving hand to close his eyes for the
sleep that knows no awakening.-[New

The procession and Celebration b,
