With gentlcness AMI love,
Has hushcd its weary throbbings here
To throb In Bills, above.

We call her dead, but ali! We know
She dweils where living WATERS How.

WE are glad to learn that the Fair
Association of this county has recon-
sidered its first resolution and has
determined to hold a fair on its beau
tiful grounds in the suburbs of the city
on some day in the latter part of Oc-
tober. The day on which the fair will
open has not yet been fixed. AS soon
as it is determined we will announce
it through the HERALD.
We hope that every man in Dallas
and adjoining counties who has. any
thing either in the animal or vegetable
Kingdom worthy of notice will have it
on exhibition at the Dallas County
Fair. 1t is too late in the day now to
discuss the value and Importance to the
country of these annual gatherings.
The universal experience of the north,
east, and west in devoting so much
time and attention to them, establishes
the fact of their utility. 1t may be
safely laid down as a rule. from which
very little deviation will be found, that
in those sections where the annual
county fairs claim the most attention
the breeds of stock are purer, the or
chards are more extensive and better
cared for, and the staple products of
the soil more successfully aud profita-
bly, cultivated than in other sections
where no emulation is aroused by
holding fairs.

A MAN near this city gathered eight
hundred bushels of onions from six
acres OF land aud sold the onions last
week at two dollars per bushel.
Allowing the extravagant estimate
of sixty-six dollars an acre to cover all
the expenses of cultivation, there
would remain net profit of two hund-
red dollars per acre from his crop OF
onions.
III the best of seasons cotton does
not yield more than fifty or sixty dol
lars net profit per acre. We would not,
however, advise everybody to quit cot
ton and turn their attention to onions.
We mention it to show the capacity of
this highly favored region, and to show,
furthermore, that there is no excuse for
any man being destitute in Texas,
when he can make a living of a small
onion patch. If man suffers for the
necessaries of life in Texas, either lazi-
ness or bad management is at the bot
tom of it-most probably the former.

REsURGAM.
BY a. BROOKS.

With noIseless step and brlded breath, ap-
The couch o'ershadowed by death-angels'
wings,
Where grief-bent man in sacred silence
kneels
Beside his all fife, now from his arms
Receding fast within the new lifes veil.
The pale lips turn from talk with death, and
The last f,int words of love and close for
Despalrs thick cloud enwraps his stricken
And lie, GH Il drerry waste that stretches on
Before the spirits home, divides them far
Before his fainting signt the loved form lies,
Now pale and cold beneath the hand Of
Death,
And crnmbling fast within the spoilers
grasp,
That ioosens not, nor heeds his frantic cries.
And is mans life so vain?
A moment turn
From toll, and penslve to yon hillside go,
And sit among the dwellings of the dead.
All nature has no tear for mans decay;
Fen smiles, while natures lord is wasting
slow
Within the prison house of DEATH Around
The green robed hills, Joined hand in hand,
A beauteous scene upon whose mist-crown-
The blue o'er-arching dome of heaven rests,
Vast mausoleunl, raised by Him who cares
For slumbering man. The sleeper sees 1t
No ray of light divine can pierce his bars.
The air is full of warbled melody;
His souliess ear heeds not. From distant
vale,
Half closed within the rivers silver bow,
Comes up the throbbing city's ftful sound ;
He rOuSes not, bat slum bers on to dust.
And will the great Am, while earth and
sky
Endure, permit his noblest work to pass
From being? Nay! The cities hum shall
cease;
Mans works, the monumental! pile decay !;
The ancient hills shall bow their hoary
heads,
And e'en the sun bright disk from heaven
fade,
The skies together roll, and nature die.
Then man shall hear his Savior say, "Come
forth"
And through the op'ning portals OF the
. tomb
Arise to meet his God.
so let me live
That when l take my brief abode with
death,
sleep with calm assurance of the morn
And when with countless hosts l stand be-
fore
The great white throne, and Him who sits
thereon,
That ] the biissful words may hear, Gre
A portion in the rising unto life."

a CORRESPONDENT of the New York

says that the only sfject Of the ir

was the sdertion of such prrAu'ion-
ary measlycs in the Location OF troops
as wouIdtnable the feders' authorities
to suppje promptly aIy insurection

now1rless to manage. This the cor
r,1s ndent alleges to he the statement
ii tile president himself in reference
to the matter. The president denies
any purpose to use federal troops in
any of the southern states pending the
elections therein, unless outbreaks
should render it absolutely necessary
for him to do so in the interest OF
peace.

BouIGS Baker Interviews the presi.

A Long Branch special of the Sd in
stant, to the New York Herald, says
Senator Patterson, and other repre-
sentatives of South Carolina, eX-iov-
ernor Warmoth, of Louisiana, and
Boulds Baker, of Texas, left Long
| Branch on that day, after having had
an interview with the president, at
which Attorney General Williams was
present. The president expressed his
disinclination to interfere in southern
affairs with federal troops, except in
extreme cases at the same time he
-declared his determination to enforce
the law and maintain peace, where it
might 'e necessary, under the provi-
si0ns of the constitution.
Duulds Eaker, chairman of the re-
publican state ceatral committee of
Texas, represented the condition of the
state as critical, the democrats Us inn
bued with the spirit of 1861, enemies
of the country, and only concealing
thcir real sentiments for eXpediency's

THE editorial and press convention
of the state of Texas adjourned yester-
day afternoon, after two days pleas
ant and, we trust, profitable sitting.
Many subjects pertinent to the welfare
of the press of the state engaged the
attention of the association, and the
final action taken thereon will, we
think, be found conducive to the ad-
vancement and prosperity of the news
paper interests of the state.
The next annual meeting will be
held at Houston on the 10th day of
September, 1875. Colonel G. b. Ger
AID, OF the Waco Advance, was selected
To deliver the annual address on that
occasion. Mr.. Enoch Breeding, of the
Houston Telegraph, was elected the
poet of the occasion, and NJ Misses Nettie
Power Houston and Moliie T.. Moore
were requested TO favor the association
by contributing Il poem each.
Captain b. B. Paddock, of the Fort
Worth Democrat, was elected presi-
dent of the association for the ensuing
year. The selection is one of the hap
piest that could have been made. Cap
tain Paddock, though one of the young
est of the 'gang," wears one of the
oldest of heads on his shoulders. Quick,
ready, patient and intelligent, he fills
the chair of presiding officer with skill
and ability. His industry and energy
will accomplish much for the good of
the association during his term of
office.
1t has been great pleasure to us to
meet in convention with our brethren
of the press, and our only regret is that
we We're not permitted the pleasure of
meeting more of them on this occa-
sion. We trust that we-"have made
many acquaintances during the last
two days that will mould into friends,
and that the recurring annual meetings
of the association may, in time, bring
all the editorial fraternity of the state
face to face, so that they may see and
know each other, and that they may
be influenced by their personal knowl-
edge of one another to act more in ac-
cord for their general veal and for the
advancement and elevation of their
profession.

In our hurried notice of the press
convention, prepared after its adjourn
memt on Friday afternoon, we omitted
to speak in terms of just commenda-
ton of the address delivered by Judge
Norton. 1t exhibited great industry
and research in its preparation and
was delivered ia most agreeable
manner. When the unavoidable
omissions have been filled in and the
address published as whole, it will be
found to be an Invaluable statement of
the rise and progress OF the newspapers
of Texas. 1t will, in fact, form the ba
sis upon which a thorough and relia-
ble history of the press of Texas will
be constructed. The association was
impressed with the labor and pains
taking bestowed by Judge Norton upon
his address and the earnest and unani-
nous vote of thanks rendered to him
was no empty compliment.
