SPEECH or LTKUTENANr cOvKRNOR
HUBBARD.

The address Of Lieutenant Governor Hub
bard on his installation as the presiding
officer Of the Senate, like the address q
Governor Coke, is fun Of patriotic fervOr
and noble sentiments, such Is was expected
from this eloquent and trusted favorite OF
the people of Texas. He is always equal
to the occasion, and his illusions to the
historic period of the old Republic, the old
Texans around him, and the monument Of
their martyrdom and glory standing in the
vestibule of the Capitol, were particularly
happy. Texas has abundant reason to be
proud of her noble leaders in this unfortu-
nate crisis in her civil affairs. Let her peo-
pie act with all that forbearance and steady
courageous purpose which distinguish their
chosen champions, and all yet win be we'll.
Her legal government viii be maintained,
and her outlaws come to grief, if not to
shame.

Awriter, sketching several cases where
people have been buried alive, relates the
following Excellent material for q
sensation story is furnished by the follow
ing we'll established facts; "Nictorine
I.afourcade, young, beautiful and accom-.
plished, had n great number Of admirers.
Among them was a journalist named
Jules Bossouet, whose chances Of being
the successful sutton seemed to I've the
best, when suddenly Victorine, contrary
TO all expectation, accepted the hand Of
q rich banker named Renellc. Bossouet
was inconsslable, and his honest heart
ached all the more when he learned that
the marriage Of his lady-love was UNI
happy. Renclle neglected his wife In
every possible way, and finally began to
maltreat her. This state Of things lasted
two years, when Victorinc dicd--at least,
81 II was thought She was entombed in
n vault Of the cemetery of her native
town. Jules Bossouct assisted at the
ceremony. still true TO his love and
well-nigh beside himself with grief, he
conceived the romantic idea Of breaking
open the vault and securing a lock Of
the deceased's hair. That night, there
fore,when all was still, he sealed the wall
Of the cemetery, and, by a circuitous
route approached the vault. When he
had broken open the door and entered
the vault, he lighted candle and pro-
ceeded To open the coffin. AT the moment
when he bent over the supposed corps,
scissors in hand, Nictorine opened her
eyes and stared him full in the face. lie
uttered a cry and sprang back but, inn
mediately recovering his self-posscssion,
he returned to the coffin, covered its
occupants fps with kisses, lifted herout,
and soon had the satisfaction of seeing
her in the full possession Of all her facul-
ties. When Victorine was sufficiently
recovered they left the churchyard and
went to Bossouets residence, where a
physician administered such remedies ~
were necessary TO effect the complete re-
covery of the unfortunate woman. This
proof Of Bossouet's love naturally made
a deep impression on victorine. She re-
pented Of her past fickleness, and resolved
to fly with the romantic Jules to America
There they lived happily together, with
out, however, ever being able to fully
overcome their longings to return to their
native land. Finally their desire became
~ strong to revisit the scenes of their
youth that they decided to brave the
dangers attendant on a return, and EN-
barked at New York for Havre, where
they arrived in July, 1880. Victorine in
the intermin had naturally changed very
greatly, and jules felt confident that her
former husband would not recognize her.
In this hope he was disappointed. Re
nellie had the keen eye of financier and
recognized Victorine at the first glance.
This strange drama ended with a suit
brought by the banker for the recovery
of his wife, which was decided against
him on the ground that his claim wa-
outlawed."

Dries Of the mothers sweetest joy, half
unfolded buds of innocence, humanity
niPped by the first frost Of time, ere yet
a canker worm of corruption has nestled
among its embryo petals. Callous, in
deed, must be the heart of him who can
stand by little graye-side and not have
the hottest emotions Of the -ou awakened
to thoughts of purity and joy which be-
long alone to God aud heaven, for the
mute preacher rs his feet tels of life he

il this be youchsafed To mortality, how
much purer and holier must be the spir-
itual land, enlightened by the sun of in
finite goodness, whence emanated the
soul of that brief sojourner among Ills ?
How swells the heart of the parent with
mournml joy while standing by the
earth-bed OF lost little ones? Mournful,
because a swcet treasure has been taken
away-joyful, because that precious jewel
glitters ia the diadem of the Redeemer.
