ors present avowed there was no
trick, Pierre Vernon, of the
Monde UZustre, would not be-
lieve it. He said that the cannon
ball must be thrown to Holtum
from the stage. The latter made
q bet OF $4,000 that he would per-
form the feat under conditions
which left no room to doubt. and
when the bet was taken, Vernon
designated MabiIle as the place
for the trial. All the journalists

and you must watch over all the

that the ball was solid, and the

and then placed his head in a
certain position against the plank,
giving the command to fire. The
ball just grazed the hair and broke
through the plank, rolling some
twenty yards further on. The

the cannon and sent home the

A queer civil funeral, that of
Clcris Pontonnel, the little son
Of wine merchant, took place
in Paris the other day. Two
persons carried the coffin and
about twenty friends followed.
At the grave the boys father
delivered the following address:
"Adieu, my son, adieu, citizen,
for you were a citizen of the fu-
ture-not baptized! Now, thou
hast returned to nothingness,
for there is no soul. Become
manure: there is no need Of it

As the baby's over the way, ..
And he keeps my heart from breaking
At my tolling. every day.
Sometimes when the day is ended,
And sit in the dusk to rest,
With the face Of my sleeping darling
Hugged closeto my lonely breast,
pray that my neighbor's baby
May not catch heavens roses all,
But that some may crown the forehead
Of my loved one as they fall.
And when I draw the stock ngs
From his weary little feet,
And kiss the rosy dimples
In his limbs so round and sweet,
think of the dainty garments
Some little children wear,
And that my God withholds them
From mine so pure and fair.

20 tho Edltor NJ the Dnllaa lierald
The people NJ JcSus, almost m n
unit, de- Ire immigration, and thou
sands " new comers ARE entering the
state during every fall aud winter. Diff
fcrent towns, counties and sections
combine In inviting immigrants to
their respective sections. Thousands
Of people come to Texas poor, scantlly
supplied with tho necessnries of life,
and with little or no money. a p0pu-
lar idea, and n very old one, Is that
immigrants should come to Texas In
the full or winter, SO as To avoid any
accllmating sickness. The idea Is based
on mistaken notion. Omitting GER
tain localities near the coast, the im-
migrant from elsewhere has no accli-
mating sickness to encounter In Texas.
For thirty-live years my observation
has been that immigrants arriving IN
March, April, May and June are more
apt to be healthy than those coming
from October to February. If such Is
the fact, it should be recognized and
made known.
Look Mt the actual suffering under
gone by emigrants OF small means, or
no means at all, who arrive here in
the winter. No one will deny that 1t
IL often great. In Dallas this winter
many poor but meritorious emigrants,
with their families, have suffered
greatly. The Kind heart of our mayor
and Others has been moved to do every
thing within their power to relieve
them; yet actual suffering has been
frequent.
On the other hand, suppose families
arrive in the early spring. Look at
their advantages. From April first to
October first, six months they can live
in great comfort in tents or camps;
they can get work on farms or have a
delightful period of six months in
which to establish new homes; they
can always get without charge as many
mich cows us they want and thereby
have plenty of milk and butter and by
the same means rear poultry and pigs;
they can pick cotton on the shares or
for wages in September, October and
Novem Der. even little children earning
something; and by winter they can be
prepared for comfortable existence.
The other view is dark. suppose a
poor man, wife and five children to ar
rive in December or January. Atonce
arises the necessity fora warm house,
food and some employment. With no
employment, hunger at once confronts
him. With no. comfortable cabin, his
children shiver in our bleak winds,
and are subjected to diseases from which
camp life in summer is wholly exempt.
Milk and butter are then luXuries be-
You'd his reaci.-in spring and sum
mer they are so abundant us to use but
ter for lard, aud feed milk to pigs.
The subject is important. .iy inn
pressions are not from tile moment,
but from thirty-live years observation,
and if had ten thousand relatives
farmers of little or no means-in
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky,
I would advise them all to migrnts TO
Texas early in the spring, rather than
in the fall or winter. y.
