with quickened pace,
Another hundred years to spend
Where now that band
Pride of our land
Who did one hundred years to-day,
Declare that we,
We're henceforth free7-
They all in turn have passed away.
They lived and died,
The Nations pride,
Each left fair and honored name,
Which e'er shall stand
Throughout the land,
High in some niche Of lasting fame.
And where that band,
Who saved the land
Who fought, or fell, but never hed2
On Natures breast,
They sweetly rest
And hold the bivouac Of the dead
In dangers thral,
They one and all,
Like Spartan heroes firmly stood;
Our rights so dear,
Our hopes Of cheer,
We're purchased with their flowing blood.
For valorous deed,
They have the mead
OF praise, and will remembered be,
While centuries pass,
BY the great mass,
OF all our true posterity.
Our rights and laws,
Fair Freedoms cause,
OF social virtues seem the sum;
Then hand them down,
spotless crown,
Through all the ages yet to come.
OF day of yore,
OF learned lore,
We all have heard and heard again,
We backward turn,
To wisdom learn,
From greatest wisest, best Of men.
The sage replies,
"'Tis greatly wise
To talk with our past hours" and see,
q
T. improvement make,
That we may wiser, better be.
Times golden sands,
Enrich all lands
As he on graceful wing retires
Back counsels borne,
From ages gone,
May light anew instructions fires.
Learn from that light,
All wrongs to!rght
Approve, sustain the good and true;
As one, unite
In all the right,
And doubly thus our strength renew.
The golden mean,
Which lies between
Two wide extremes then let us take;
And then pursue,
The path that's true,
For all may walk therein alike.
The circling years,
Like whiring spheres,
On noiseless pinions ceaseless fly;
They come-are gonel
Swift hurrying on,
Like years, the centuries quickly diel
Soon all now here
viii disappear,
Che old, the young, the weak, the strung;
And other feet
VIII tread the street,
And public places others throng
Times noiseess sweep,
Will onward keep,
And centuries successive fly;
Like waves that run,
Then break-are gone,
Shall generations live and die!

popular idea of the festival abroad:

How the Cuban Insurgents Carry on
the War


The tangled forests and Juxuriant trop-
ical growth in the island of Cuba greatly
aid the insurgents in maintaining their
rebellion and the guerrilla warfare in
which they have been engaged for years.
A body of less than thousand men form
an encampment in secluded spot, sur
rounded by thicket, with only single
bride path leading to it. AS the Span
lards advance in attack through this
path, they are shot down. Into these
encampments, inaccessible to an army,
the country people freely enter to barter
their fruit, vegetables and fresh meats.
Indeed, some of these military stations
have assumed the form of villages, with
taverns, stores and bathrooms.
The great ally of the insurgents in
fond in the climate, more fatal than cold
lead to foreigners. The Marquis of
Habana, who has twice held the chief
command Of the island, in an account of
his operations and disasters, recently
published, on this point says: "Disease
made fearful havoc among my soldiers,
many OF whom were very young and had
no constitution to resist the climate"
And again he remarks: "Neither Span
lard nor American has the least idea of
the fatal climate or the wooded charac-
ter of the country" ...a....~. -.
So rapid and luxuriant is the natural
growth OF vegetation in Cuba that when
a plantation has been laid waste and
burnt over by the insurgents, and left to
itself Tor only year or two, it costs a
small fortune to clear it off. tH

Texas.

The assessed valuation of taxable prop
erty in Texas for 1876 is $3.50, OO0, 900.
The estimated revenues for the year are:
From one-half of l per cent. on the to-
tai valuation, $1,3OO,OOO; occupation
tax, $3.50, 900; collection of taxes of for
mer years, $3.50. 900; Office fees, 1915, 900;
total, 81, 1915, 900. The deductions to be
made for the cost of assessing and col
lecting and delinquencies are 1888, $50,
leaving net revenue of 1851, $50.
One-fourth of the net revenue goes to
tbs support of public schools. It viii
amount to 1922, 1872. The assessment
for 1875 is $1O,O0O,000 greater than that
for 1875, and $16,O00,O0O greater than
that for 1874. The debt of the State is
SIS, 21O, 900, being an increase of 1874, 978,
which increase is attributable to the ne
cessity for frontier defense and other
extraordinary measures. Gov. Coke
estimates that under the former revenue
law "one- third of the property and
values in the State escaped taxation"
and that at reasonable estimate the
ought to be $3.50, 900, 900.
The estimated deficiency in the revenues
for the present year is $685. 600

How tn Ruy Cloths.

Our hOusekeepers would all like to
know how to buy cloths. A writer in
the Illustrated Weekly gives some i'm
portant suggestions on this point
Buy no American cloths in the mar
ket except cadet grays and army blue
flannel, and scrutinize very closely where
you buy these.
If you live near a wooden mill. get the
manufacturer to spin and weave you
some fleece wool, using combing wool
for the warp. Let the color be pro-
duced by mixing black wool with the
white. Properly shrunk in the fulling
process, and well washed, the result will
be cloth that will delight you in the
wearing, ana outlast any of the fashions.
That there is no other American cloth
equal to such cloth is explained by the
fact that manufacturers produce only
adulterated goods for the general
market. ......
You may trust almost any foreign
woolens offered you by a reputable
dealer of intelligence. AS to wear, ex-
pect the least from broadcloth and
doeskin the most froma cheviot. Di-
agonals break down early. Mohairs
ravel. Meltons are almost worthless
they are full of {" focks," are fulled till
the life of the wool is lost, and the cloth
is mere board, hot in summer, and cold
in winter. .# .4+a...
French cassimeres are the best with
out exception of the French, get the
Elbeuf. If you buy an American cassi-
mere get the Hockanum it has a vel
vety surface like the French, and is
strong enough to last out a seasons
fashion.
Finally, in buying a foreign overcoat-
ing, ravel the edge Of the cloth in order
to detect the cotton thread that too often
forms the warp, although well dyed by
the ingenious manufacturer.

A Smart Young Wife,

The Clean On. w. Times relates: ga
newly married pair on their way to New
YORK, when between Coshocton and Mar.
rowsburg on the Erie train, one day last
week, caused no little sensation to the
occupants of the car. On the bride
groom's taking roll of brown paper
out of his pocket, the bride suddenly
snatched it, raised the window, and
threw it out, saying: You said you'd
quit chewing tobacco; there's so much
of the nasty stuff gone. But her laugh
changed to tears when her husband In
formed her that the roll was not tobac-
co, but 500 in greenbacks, which he
was about to place in safer place in
his pocket. AS it was dark at tie time.
any attempt to recover the money was
thought to be useless. =

BalOOning.

Donaldson, the aeronaut who lost his
life in an ascension, predicted that if
travelling in balloons ever became COM
mon it would not be by lofty flights but
close to the ground. He said that by
carefully gauging the amount of gas in
the bag, and using pole to assist in
raising over obstacles, man might GER
tain1y travel fast and safely in the direc-
ton of the wind; and he thought that
some system of steering and lacking
might be devised that would make move
ments possible without reference to the
wind. The Secretary of the British
Aeronautical Society seems to have
similar idea, for he says: SIT is
singular that no one has taken advantage
of an ascertained fact to put the balloon
to more pleasureable, because more pro
longed, use than has hitherto been at
tempted. There is every probability
that, with balloon properly balanced,
a push with long pole would send it
spinning for fifty feet or more, and one
might traverse few hundred yards be-
fore it neared the earth and required
another push"

Indian COnvicts.

Satanic, the Kiowa chief, who is un-
der sentence for life, in the Texas peni-
Tertiary, made an Intellectual attempt to
end his life by suicide, short time
since. He secured small rope, and,
fastening one end to scantling, tied
the other end about his neck, and was
caught dangling, with his feet about
twenty-four inches from the ground, but
was cut down before life was extinct.
Little Bull, a Comanche chief, is endrr-
ing his imprisonment with a more
cheerful spirit. Both chiefs were
brought into the presence of Gov. Hub
bard during the recent visit of the latter
to the prison. Satanic made request
for some whisky to revive his dropping
spirits. Two glasses half filed with a
mild dilution were prescribed for the
Indian braves, when Satanta, snatching
up Little Bulls glass, said, ssWhisky no
good for papoose, good for big chief, y
and, pouring the contents into his own
glass, gulped down both portions, and
then smacked his lips in contentment.
The big chief finds it hard to be deprived
of both liberty and whisky.

STEPHENS AND THE FLAG.

An Episode of the House Proceedings.
Washington Cor. Chicago Times.l
ssMr. Speaker" sang out a shrill.
high pitched voice above the din and
clamor of the early opening of to-day's
session of the House. Mr.. Randall
turned toward Alexander 81. Stephens
with prompt courtesy in answer to the
shrill voice and said "The gentleman
from Georgia" Every one turned at
once toward the black-eyed ghost of a
man sitting SO quietly buried in his
blue overcoat, with silk hat of several
winters perched rakishly upon his WISE
looking head. Mr.. Stephens moved his
skeleton right hand, incased in brown
cotton glove, as he said "I have q
resolution that desire to send up to the
Clerk s desk-a resolution which I desire
to have read and put upon it's passage.
An awful silence fell upon the House
assembly. Perhaps the Georgia ghost
had evolved some new scheme for saving
the country, and every one craned his
neck and carefully crooked his ears as
the Clerk began to read, Stephens mean
while remaining grim and impressive.
The Clerk read, and then every one
smiled sicKly smile of disappointment.
1t was a resolution declaring that Mr..
Jonn Chauncy should bepaid S.. so day
for performing the arduous task of hoist

relief as the resolution passed. sDick |"
he called out In testy whisper. A brrly
negro came from the cloak-room and
gathered up Stephens in his burly arms,
carried him out to light invalid chair
where two stout servants seized upon
the Georgia ghost, placed him on a level
with their shoulders, and bore him from
the hall. It was Mr.. Stephens first
