ones epitaph written, and yet to be
alive, it reminds me of the story of
Burl and the buzzard. Burl had lain
down to rest, when buzzard came
soaring over him, whereupon he rose
upon his elbow, and remarked: "Ah!

Gray and LOngfellow, were once con-

sunk IN utter insignifcance, and they

EDITOR HERALD have concluded
to pen you a few lines for your most
excellent paper, though | fear that l
shall fail to prove interesting.
Business seems to be livening up
considerably. Messrs. j. f. d Ii. W.
Lewis, have arrived from the East
with full line of goods, and offer them
cheap for cash. The Changers have
bought a house, and have ordered a
large stock Ofgoods. Jas. Raley & son

bacco.

The wife of j. E. Furgerson, died
on the night of the 21st instant, leaving
a husband and ten children to mourn
her loss. the deceased died in the
full assurance of faith, of reaching

near Pikeville, in Pike county, by the
Sheriff of that county, and in a few
days more will be on his way to this
place to answer at the bar of justice
for the wrong he has committed. 1t
is indeed sorrowful thing. He will
have to face the very people whose
trust he has so ontrageously betrayed,
whose confidence he has so wantOnly
abused. The only reparation he can
now offer is submission to the penalty
prescribed for the folly of his conduct,
and hard as it is. it will have to be
borne, affording but another illustra,
ton of the lesson but too often repeat
ed, that honesty is the best policy.

Burrows, a Treasury clerk, whom she
charged with breach of promise
Armed with her trusty revolver, she
went to the Treasury building, and,
lying in wait for her victim, fired two
shots at him. one of which took effect
in vital part, causing speedy death.
She was adjudged insane by the court,
and was sent to the Govern ment In
sane Asylum, where she remained for
few months, when she emerged
and was appointed clerk in the
Patent Office. After serving for n
year or two, in that capacity, she was
again sent to the asylum, from when
she made her escape several times. She
was recaptured, however, and, in spite
of her Inconsistencies, was taken back
to the asylum of which she is now an
inmate. To all appearance, she is
entirely sane; but thus far, her friends
have been unable to effect her release.
THE GREAT AND GOOD DELANo,

lated to injure General Grant or "the
family" Prior to his resignation, it
was whispered about that the Presi-
dent had demanded his retirement,
but that Delano held Grant at bay
with letter written to him by the
LATTER, virtually ordering him (Delano)
to give brother Awful special privile-
ges in connection with the Indian
service. That letter has never seen
the light; but there is good reason to
believe it exists. Let the Committee
call for it, and show the country just
how far the President is responsible
for the misdeeds of his brother.
Delano will, doubtless, deny all
knowledgd of such letter; but just
how much confidence can be placed in
his denial will he judged by the follow
ing incident On the 9th of July,
1875, Il report having been printed
that DelanO had resigned, he sent for
the agent of the Associated Press in
Washington. and asked him to tele-
graph, on his (DelanO's) authority, an
absolute denial of the report, and his
request was complied with. When
the usual officials correspondent was
published, a couple of weeks later, it
was found that Delano's letter of resig-
nation bore date, "July 5, 1879," just
fout days before he authorized the
Association Press to make the denial
in question.

THOMAS SHEPP ARD.

Communicated
The decease of this well known and
estimable young man occurred at his
fathers residence, in this city, on the
night of the Goth instant, as already
announced in The HERALD. The
writer hereof has just reason to feel
that in the death of Mr.. Sheppard he
has lost one who was almost as near TO
him us one of his own household.
Thomas Sheppard came to Texas
with his father James Sheppard, Esq
from his native State Kentucky, and
resched Dallas on the LIST day of
October, 1852. In January, 1860, he
entered THE HERALD office as an ap-
prentice, and after faithful service of
about two years, volunteered in the
spring of 1852, and joined Captain w.
w. Peaks company, in Colonel r. C.
Hawpe's regiment, having for his inn
mediate comrades his step-brother,
Joseph Griffin, and James X. P. Lane,
the latter also an apprentice at the
time in The HERALD office, Each of
these three boys were then about
sixteen years old, and left home
bearing with them the ten
deTest regards of the entire
community. They all bore themselves
bravely in the ranks of Polignac's old
brigade, Griffin yielding up his young
life ON the field of battle at Mans.
held, Louisiana, in the spring
OF 1854. Sheppard and Lane re.
NAMED in the service till the
surrender in 1865, when they returned
home. Mr. Lane, who is brother Of
Captain John w. Lane, now Of San
alarcos, located in Freestone county,
a''ei the war, completed his education,
became minister, and is now pastor
Oh the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Hockdale. The tldings of Tommy
Sheppard's death winbe to him as the
loss Of a twin-brother.
In 1866 Mr.. Sheppard re-eliered THE
HERALD Office and has, with occa-
sional short intermissions, been .on-
stantly employed on The HERALD up
70 last November, when his failing
health compelled him to resign his
stick and rule.n He was married in
ss'y, 1869, to Miss Matte Saunders,
VINO died in January, 1878, following
an miami who had "gone before''
'ne previous year. Mr.. Sheppard
