"rhe Ninety ana Nlne.n


One of the most celebrated of Mr.. San
keys collection of hymns is "The Ninety
and Nine. 1t was y favOrite in England,
and is much admired here. Several state
ments concerning its origin have been pub
lished, which conflict with each other, and
one of them, MIR. Saukey says, is correct. The
facts in the case are these: Some time in
1878, Mr.. Sankey, being then in England
with Mr.. Moody for the first time, bought a
copy of the Christian Age, a London reiig-
ious paper, publishing Mr.. Talmage's SER
mons. In one corner was found this hymn.
He had never seen nor heard of 1t before.
1t pleased him, and seemed adapted to relio-
having composed the music himself. *
short time after he received letter from
lady thanking him for having sung. the
hymn, and stating that the author was her
sister, MISS Eliza G. Chaphane, of Melrose,
Scotland. She had written the hymn in
1868, and, shortly after, died. She and
her whole family were members of the
Church OF Scotland, and were not Unita-
rians, as stated in this country. Mr.. Sankey
replied to the lady's letter, asking IL her
sister had ever written any other hymns,
and was told that she had written several
others, which were sent tn the Family
Treasury, religious paper, of which the
''The Ninety and Nine" was ever published.
Mr.. Sankey communicated with him and
received several pieces of manuscripts. The
only other hymn by the author in Mr.. San
keys collection is the ty-third-''Be-
meath the Cross Of Jesus" He has been
gathering hymns for the past eight years,
keeping a scrap.book for that purpose.
Many of them are found in common Sum
day school collections, and were known in
England before Moody and Sankey intro
duced them. Since that time they have be-
come the most popular hymns in Great
Britain. While the evangelists were in Scot
land, they at first found difficulty in in
ducing the people to sing these hymns, as
the Presbyterians preferred their version Of
the Psalms. The evangelists were accus-
toned to sing the one huDdredth, twenty
third and forteth Psalms, or the first, one
hundred and twenty-ffth hymns of the col
lection, and then ask Presbyterians TO sing
'sHold the Fort" which they usually did,
and, at length, sang any Of the hymns.

THK De an or 1875.

The Nation thinks that the neurology of
1878 is hot so full of distinguished names
as that of 1874. Among sovereign and
rulers certainly few have died. The En-
peror of China had the distinction of eeing
one of the youngest, il not one of the most
important Of them. In Europe there died
Frederic William l., ex-Elector Of Hesse-
Cassel, grandson OF the Frederic IL, who
made the name of . Hessiann odious in this
country, and . monarch ''out Of business
since 1855. when Prussia annexed his do
main; and ex-Emperor Ferdinand L, of
Austria, avery feeble sovereign, whose alb
dication was the one good stroke of his
reign. In the professions most closely con-
nected with government there has been
several noticeable deaths. In the army and
navy England has lost Commodore James
Graham GoOdenough, a very promising OH.
Ger, who prepared the way for the Annexs,-
tion of the Fijl Islands. and was murdered

A Tale Of Two Couttnents-A S,ory Of
homanee, Love and Probably SuicIae-

Within the past two days the daily papers
have commented upon the probable murder
of man discovered dead on the hillside
northwest OF the railroad machine Shops in
Ssucehto. The dead man was found with
knife wound in the bpsst, over which his
overcoat was bu;tenei tightly. The sheath
OF along dagger was in tie belt 0f ms pau
falcons, but the blade could not be found
IN the vicinity. Whether IL is a case of
murder or suicide has not yet been settled,
though number oi Italians believe. from
the description given, that il is mab-,
named Catalani, who has beer. IaAsries tho

with the cares of family He had passed
his majority, aud bethought himself of tax
ing wife. lie looked about him in the
circle in which he moved, and finding no
helpmate to suit his fancy, cast his eyes
among the Bohcmians. There he found the
"de Bermardi,n lady whose Voice was on-
ly eNcelled by her handsome features, whose
form was equal to JunO's, and who sc charms
were not surpassed by the fabed Venus.
Catalani became cnamured of the beautiful
songstress, and married her against the
wishes of his family. Home was therefore
rendered Hades, and Ca,alani, dlsgusted
with the treatment received at the hands of
his relatives, gathered together what money
he could, and, shaking the dust of Italy
from has feet, forgetting her cloudless skies,
her genial climate, started for the New
World. Eventually he settled IN this city
with his bride. For a time he prospered-
as long as his money lasted. His money
gone, there was but one resort-work. His
wife, III the meantime, had taught him in
the art of singing, and Catalani obtained a
situation in the Metropolitan Theatre. His
voice, however, didn't please the public
taste, and he resigned. TO support the
family, his devoted wife gave music lessons,
and by her exertiors they managed to sub

among his countrymen; but on Saturday
last, unable longer to 'suffer the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune,n he bid his

Since then he has not been seen, and it is
feared by many of his friends that he has
ended his existence. A party went from
San Francisco to Saucelito TO view the body
and confirm tlseir suspicious, but at late

Then, too, Republican lawyers, represent
ing Tom Scott, send beautiful letter to
Attorney General Plerrepont, Grants law
adviser, telling him that the government of
Texas no longer exists, and suggesting,
by innuendo, the propriety of Federal in
tervention and the subjection of Texas to a
fresh process of reconstruction The peo-
pie of Texas, seeing all thi. and abhorring
those who would interpose to subject the
State to Radical domination, will rush to
the polls and, defying their supposed enc
mics, vote for the Constitution. 1t is an
easy task for great railroad power, having
money, to control party leaders, making
them pretend to oppose when they would
adopt scheme OF government. Tom Scott
can subordinate LAWYERS and party leaders
tn his purposes. Men who we're aspirants
for high offices withdraw at the bidding of
Tom Scott, and men who had not the
ghost of chance, few months ago,
are now the strongest aspirants for the
highest positions. When all the brancbe,

Hon. JAMES E. SHEPARD, the nominee of
the Democratic party for Judge of the Six
teenth Judicial District, composed of the
counties of Washington, Lee, Travis and
Williamson, is gentleman In every way
worthy of confidence and respect and emf
nently fitted to wear the robes of justice.
He has already held important public trusts,
having been twice a member of the Texas
Legislature, and then a member of the Con-
stltutlonsl Conventions of 1851 and 1866.
He became gallant soldier during the war,
filling with honor the position of lieutenant
colonel of the Sixteenth Regiment. We
speak of him as soldier, not in
connection with his fitness for the
Office to which he has been nomina-
ted, but to call to mind his endearing
under hin are residents of this and adioin-
ing counties, and they all feel devotion for
him. This devotion arises from his mag
nanimity and the many acts of seIf-denial
he displayed as an officer to private soldiers.
| His bed his board and his money were
awsys at their command. No prlvatlon
Was great enough to pake him shrink from
kindly services to the soldiers in sickness
or distress, and he came out of the war
with attachments as enduring as life.
At the end OF the war he filed the position
of district judge of the Third District, to
which he was reelected and thSn removed
by Federal power. His acts as a judge
were eminsntly Just. and his decisions have
| stood the test OF the highest courts. He is
jealous Democrat in principle, and feels
great devotion to-ths- interests of Texas.
Should the new Constitution be adopted,
he will reflect credit upon the bench Of tins
State, and it may be added that he has be
come a candidate at the earliest solicitation
of the united bar Of the four abov'
named coanties.

TIRE ATTITUDE OF THE STATES.

The Charleston Courier says that the first
movement in the Presidential campaign of
the present year will be made in Washing
ton next week, when the National Execu-
tive Republican Committee meet to deter
mine the time and place for holding the Re
publican Presidential Convention. The
second one will be the meeting next month
of the National Democratic Committee for
the same purpose. These in turn will be
followed of course by the assembling of the
great conventions and the nomination of
their respective candidates for the Presi-
dency, which will all take place, it is
thought, before the end of spring. The
active work of the campaign that is to fol-
low during the summer months is likely to
be largely concentrated upon the doubtful
States, which are fewer than is generally
supposed. The Washington Star tells us
that leading Democrat and well known
and careful Republican recently ascertained
this to be a fact from the following calcu-
lation, on which they both agreed:
Republican States-Muine 7, Illinois 21,
New Hampshire 5. Iowa IL Xarmnnt q
3, Rhode Island 4, Kansas 5, Pennsylvania
80, Colorado 3, Ohio %, Nevada 8, Michi-
gan II, South Carolina Z, Wisconsin 10;
total, 164.
Democratic States Delaware 3, Mlssis-
sippl s, Maryland 8, Louisiana 8. Virginia
II, Kentucky ~, West Virginia 5, Tennes-
see -13, North Carolina 10, Missouri Is,
Georgia II, Arkansas 6, Florida 4, Texas9 8,
Alabama 10; total, 1872.
Doubtful States-Connecticut 6, Califor
MIA 6, New York 35, Oregon g. New Jersey
s, Indiana 10; total, "a. @
In the list of Democratic States it will be
noticed that every Southern State is given
to that party except South Carolina, and in
the Republican list Colorado, which will be
admitted this year before the election, is
added. The tables then stand: Republi-
can 1854, Democratic, 132-total electoral
vote 370 of which 1856 votes are required
to elect. The Republicans lack2 % and the
Democrats 54. The Stars conclusion is
that the Democrats must secure New York
anu 6WO-OE lhIO0 OtItOto VI bhO N'OupOi III
States in orderto win the battle. The Star,
however, it must be remembered, though
nominally independent, is linked by long
and disreputable association with the worst
elements of the Republican party in Wash
ington, and its professedly impartial view
of the Presidential battlefield must be taken
with very liberal pinch of salt.
