LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Peace Hath Her Victories az We'll nv
War.


TO the Editor of tbs Dallas Herald:
jeff rson Davis is in Texas. In
Houston, the other day, he addressed
the veterans of the Mexican war. we
are glad to welcome him here. His
presence among US, and under existing
circumstances, shows that there is
disposition on the part of the great
mass of the American people to bridge
the bloody chasm that has so long di-
yided us. No man was moreidentilied
with the rebellion than Jefferson Da-
Wis. He was the representative of an
idea-the personality of creed. In
him was centered all the hopes and as
pirations of a great cause and n great
people. When the cause went down
he sunk with it.
We were gratifed TO hear him, the
other day at Houston, counsel ooedi-
dence to the laws of the general gov
eminent. 1t made us proud to reflect
that The south has produced men whose
ability and courage not only gave tone
and direction to public affairs, but,
when adversely came upon them'
could rise above personal preJudlces
and adapt themselves to the clrcum-
stances around them.
Jefferson Davis is expected here IN a
few days. Every heart that followed
the "crossn will throb at the s:ight OF
him. We do not desire to review any
of the bitter feelings of the late war
'1et the dead past bury the past-.out
we do desire to see every courtesy
and attention shown our distinguished
visitor. Remember that no man mas
suffered more for his southern procliv-
tiles than he. Whatever may nave
been his faults, God knows, ne mas
atoned most bitterly for them. lie mas
borne adversely with a calm dignity,
worthy of himself, and worthy OF the
people he represents. Let US welcome y
him with that warm cordially that u
characteristic of our own sunny souln'
VIRGINIA.

The LgangnIan'S Tree.

In Dry G'ulrh, just ou;sideuf Helena, Nom
tana, stood, until few 1ays ago, big Pine
tree, with great str sslin1 branches, on
which, in the early days of that Territory.
no less than sixteen nalefactors dangled, at
various times, IN eNpiation of their crimes.
But the other day it fell before the woodman's
axe, and was converted into ashes to its last
friendly service 10 mankind. The act Of
cutting it down BY the owner Of the land on
which it stood was denounced - a piece of
vandalism. and considerable indignation was
manifested by the old-tiruers. The tree has
been dead for sometime, and would ere Ing

OF fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell-bound with the perfume rare.

And lazy with rs double load,
\ sun Drowned youth and maid WE'RE seen
jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches Of the skies;
But higer were That maiden's eyes.
Ihs dew-drops on the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparklei meath the long-fringed I'D,
Where those bright eyes Of blue were hid.
Adown the shoulders brown and bare
Rolled the soft waves OF golden hair,
Where, almost stranglel with the spray.
The sun, willing sufferer, lay.
1t was the fairest sight, I ween,

And with his features all aglow,
The happy fellow told her sol
And she without the least surprise
Lookei on HIM with those heavenly eyes,
Saw Underneath that shade OF tan
The handsome features Of A man;
And with JOY but rarely known
She drew that dear face 10 her own,

A dresry echo, sounding ike farewell

The English sgheat Crop.

sIr. james Card, the well known English
agricultUra!i-t, writes letter to the London
T,res, IN which he estimates the falling off
in the wheat crop in England from last year

consumption We shall have TO pay higher
price for the coming year, and use the wheat
with greater economy" Mr.. Card thinks
that the home growth Of wheat, which has
shown a gradual diminution for the past p
wears, Is likely TO continue, except under the
influence Of T. considerably higher relative
price a. compared with barley and oats. At
the fall rate Of consumption OF the past year

wheat Iand exceeded 1000, 900 acres when
the population was barely 2S,OO0,OO0. The
average breadth during the last eight yeara
