DEATH OF JOHN MITCHELL.

The death of this distinguished Irish
man, at this particular juncture, will
be received with regret wherever the
name and principles of liberty are
known and held dear; and yet it seems
meet that the spirit of one who had
led such an exciting and eventful ca
reer, should pass away amid the scenes
of his early life, and surrounded by
those exciting influences that have
made his name known and endeared
to Irishmen everywhere. More espe-
cially will the news of his death be re-
ceived with sorrow here in our own
South, where, with the strength of his
mighty voice and pen, he lent the
great talents which God had endowed
him with to our people in their great
struggle. A short time before his death
he gave utterance to the suhjoined par
agraph, the sentiment of which will
find responsive echo in the breasts
of many who struggled for the "lost
cause"

TiiE MAGIC PITCHER.
foRCYETIIE WILSON,

| know an ancient story Of ~ mnil
VINO broke her golden pitcher at the well,
Aud wept therefor; when came voice lhh'
said,
Peace, sorrowing child behold the magic
spell
whorewiih make thy loss certain gain -
Then through her tears ho saw u shape oi
light
Before her; and u lily, vet with rain
ur dew, was In his handS-allsnowy white
Then stood the maiden hushcd In sweet sur
prise,
And with her clasped hands held her heart
ihrobs down,
Beneath the wondrous brightness OF his eyes
Whose smile seemed To th"rcath her ike
lie raised no wand; he gave no strange COM
mnpds;
But touched heroyes with tender touch and
light,
With charmed lips kissed apart her folded
hands,
And laid therein the lily, snowy white.
Then, as the south wind breathes In summer
lands,
lie breathed upon the lily boom; and 10!
Its curling leaves expanded In her hands,
Aud shaped n magic pitcher white ns snow,
Gemmed with the living Jewels Of the dow,
And brlmmed with overilows of running
light.
Then came the voice, the mystic voice she
knew,
"DrinK OF the lily waters, pure and bright,
Thou little maiden by the well, /" IL said,
And give to all who thirst the waters COOL
So shall thy grieving heart be comiorted;
So shall thy pitcher everinore be luI u
Then, as the sunlight fades In twilight wood,
He aided In the magic of the spell;
While, mute with JOY, the little maiden
stood,
Clasping her magic pitcher by the well.

IMPROVED STOCK.

Within the past eighteen months
great progress has been made in the
introduction of fine cattle into Dallas
and the surrounding counties. In Oc-
tober, 1873, General Gano brought n
fine lot and sold them here. Since
then, Messrs. Kingsbury, Burnside
and dozen or so others have done
likewise. Colonel Dent last year and
again recently has introduced thirty
or forty choice milkers-Mr. Henry
Snodgrass several, Mr.. Bob Scott sew
eral and so on.
The magnificent young bull, Long
fellow, brought out by General Gano
and sold to Messrs. CASTOR, Nussbau-
mer and Eakins, and kept last year at
Mr.. Nussbaunier's, now has a numer-
Gus progeny of thoroughbreds and half
breeds in this city and vicinity. This
season Longfellow is on the farm of
Mr., Wm. b. Miller, who lately pur-
chased an interest In him. Mr.. Nc
Conalaud and various Others inrro-
duced last year and still have num-
ber of choice cattle.
Mr. Nussbaumer has recently sold
one of his thoroughbred two-year old
heilers, now in milk, with calf from
Longfellow, to DR.. f. T.. Hughes, two
to Mr.. Bob Scott, and one to John
Henry Brown. The four came here at
seven months old, were bred to Long
fellow, and now, at two years of age,
have calves, and prove to be a No. !
mixers.
General Gano has recently sold a
number from later importation, aud
yet has on hand some twenty-five
yearling and two year-old heiicrs. Mr..
Nussbaumer has Oh hand young
Kentucky bull, and Mr..
Scott has one three years old, calved
in Marshall, from the best Kentucky
stock. Altogether the work goes
bravely on, and soon this region will
begin to compare notes with the proud
Blue Grass country.

The officer commanding the depart

10 prevent miners from tresI assiDg on

plain that those who Violate the treaty

military. There Is plenty of time.

rich in minerals, its wealth should not
remain hidden aud idle. Besides II
will cost almost as much every month

penalty for trespassing on the Indian
lands depends much on the object OF
the trespass, and must necessarily in
the cases of those who go for mining

THE feeling in Arkansas under the

THE feeling in Arkansas under the
Garland government, since the action
of congress, possesses a moral sublim-
ity which, perhaps, has never been
seen in any American state. So great
is the feeling of relief, and so peaceful
and kind the relations of the races that
even the colored people partake of the
joy. The triumphant people, lead by
the wise and just Garland, have van
ished hate from the land, and inaug-
urated the genius of reconciliation.
The past is buried, and all hearts are
devoted to the one idea of a happy and
prosperous future. Everything shows
that the curses of the past were he
work of few bad men clothed with
power. Still the spirit of Grant thrusts
itself into the only spot open to it. In
the face of all these rejoicings, north,
south, east and west, he has appointed
the last revolutionary agitator, Brooks,
as postmaster at Little Rock.

THE Houston Telegraph advises the
boys thereabouts to stay at home and
not go gold-hunting in the Black Hills,
for the following reasons: In the first
place, there is powerful little gold
there; second, Indians and Indian bull
lets are thick; thirdly, orders have
been issued that no gold-seekers be al
lowed 10 invade the territory of a
friendly tribe, and If they do intrude,
General Ord is to drive them out; and,
lastly. they have no business there
anyhow, as Texas needs all her young
men, and they can find plenty to do a
good deal nearer home.

The Lost (srnyp

Ii you have ever passed the old deserted
graveyard on Russell street. near the House
OF Correction, you know there is not more
lonely spot in Detroit
It is score OF years since any one was
buried there.
The fences lean in or out: the few trees
are ragged in limb and trunk: the weather.
beaten headstones lean this way or that. or

who sleep under the ragged sod. have been
dust tor years, and II any Of them left
friends behind they are scattered now and
are not here to I'LL up the sunken graves
and plant Hover to take the gloom away.
The other day people saw an old woman
wandering through the graveyard, brush
ing the moss from some of the headstones
to look at the letters, and studying long
ever the quaint characters carved into
others. BY and by she crossed the street
and sat down on the steps of a cottage, and
when people saw how old and feeble she
was, and that her eyes were full of tears
they pitied her. She could not answer
at first, but by and By she told them that

child there. and all though the long, long
years. though moving here and there, her
mothers heart had not forgotten the dead.
Old now, her steps feeble and her locks
gray, and feeling that she had but little
longer to remain on earth, che had come
clear across the State alone to have a last
look at the little grave. Years had gone by.
but she thought she could walk right to the
spot, and there was half hope in her
heart that strangers hands might have
kept the headstone white and the grave as
when she last cav it. Sac found the old
yard cut up by streets. the city all around
and beyond, and of the hundreds of mounds
and headstones which she once saw but
score or so were left She sought among
the leaning headstones, and she stood under
the dying willows and searched the field
for the small stone which bore the words
"Our Willie but the flight of time and
the hand OF progress were more powerful
than mothers love. Fifty years since
the little dead body was lowered

spot. And yet her mothers heart brought
her back in her old age, with the hope
that her tears might fall upon the little
grave, obliterated and passed from sight
forever.
1t was sad enough to see tears falling
down her wrinkled cheeks. and to know
that her old heart was aching with disap-
poiniment, and men spoke kind words to
her, and women wiped their eyes in SYM
pathy. Looking through her tears at the
bleak and lonely field, its loneliness
relieved and yet made more lonely by the
time-worn headstones and the ciumps Of
briars. no wonder that the poor old woman
felt it in her heart, and had to sob out:

The vast dominions of the American
Union are divided, as all the world knows.
between two classes of communities-those
which are fully organized and have taken
their place as units of government and
those which are still partially unorganized
and have no share in nominating or direct
ing the federal authority The former class
are the States, the latter the Territories;
but the popularity of the American system
is that every undeveloped portion is slowly
ripssasy, by steady process, and prepar-
ing, Wien the proper time comes, to be
raised TO the dignity aud power of con
stituent member Of the federation. That
time may be delayed by political difficult
ties. but if a Territory continues to grow it
must assuredly obtain recognition as a
State. The admission of Colorado and New
Mexico into the federal pact has for a long
time been discussed in America. New
Mexico was coded to the Union by the Mex
lean government after the war OF 1913, and
two years later was organized as Terri
tory, tab being at the same time admitted
