Conclusive proof has been obtained

secured number OF contracts for mail service
in the southern states by means Of counter
felt Of tho stamp containing the initials Of the
first and second postmaster generals which il

extent of outrages, though it had been official
ly informed of the arrest of mail carrier and
the burning OF a postoilice by the invaders.
The Mexican government had repeatedly been
reminded Of the outrages heretofore commit
ted by Mexicans upon citizens of the United
States, both in Mexico and on United States
soil and would hear from this government in
short time, concerning those more recently
committed, through the department of state.
There would be consultation with the secre.
tary of state on this subject, and probably it
would be brought to the attention of the cab
met. We must determine hereafter what il
proper to be dono in the premises. Ho could
see no reason for apprehension OF war be-

could tell what might take place in the future
Nothing, however would be done by this gov
ernment to provoke such result.

IF WE KNEW.

II we knew the woe and heart.achc,
Waiting for us down the road,
II our lips could taste the wormwOod,
II our backs could feel the load,
Would wa waste one day IN wishing
For time that nc'or can be?
Would we wait with such impRtienCe
For our ships to come from sea?
If we knew tho baby fingers
Pressed against the window.pano
Wonld he cold aud Htiff Tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow
Would the print Of rosy fingers
N,X us then as they do now?
All these little icc-cod fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewu along our backward track.
How these little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-b but roses
For our reapng by and by.
Strange, we never prize the music
Till the swect-vOiccd bird has flown.
Strange that we shonld slight the viOlcts
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer skies and sunshino
Never seem half 80 fair
As when winters snowy pnions
Shake their white down in the air
Lips, from which the seal OF silence
None but God can roll away
Never blOssomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth of day,
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let lis gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chatf;
Lat Us iind our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

Mr., JAMES LICK, IN giving his reasons
for revokipg his deed of trust, stated to
a reporter of the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle that strong inducement was the
torture he suffered from .the agents of |
benevolent societies to which he had
not made benefactions. They were
continually at his bedside importuning
him to amend the deed so as to include
them. Another reason was an evil
dent determination on the part of his
relatives to test the validity of the deed
in the courts. A nephew had already
brought suit for $40, 900 for services
which he claimed to have rendered.
