Stage Coaching in Texas

The ride from San Antonio,
Texas, to El Paso is one of the
most stirring bits of travel to
be had in America. The con-
veyance is q four-horse stage;
coaches being generally changed
about every three times; and
beyond Conche, which is ZIG
miles north of San Antonio,
Broncos mules are under har-
ness. This mule is a fiery, tam
able little animal, possessed of
all the spirit and speed of a
race-horse, and all the long suf-
fering and patience Of a Span
ish Jack. A correspondent of
the St. Louis Republican gives
this account Of Lie and Muir
ply, a dun and sorrel, that have
done splendid service on this
road. Until the four-horse
coaches were put on, their task
to draw a buck board twice a
week distance Of sixty-fve
miles. The journey was made
in a single night, without wa
ter and without food or rest,
except an hour at midnight at
Van Horns Well. When /
returned from Mexico to the
States these two little mules
pulled myself, another passen-
ger, some 800 pounds of mail
and baggage, and the driver the
distance named. The driver
checked the solitude Of the
night with many anecdotes Of
their performance, and at our
request and aided by us fire.
quently tried to stop them be-
tween the stations. Our at
tempts to do SO were Intellectual,
for the more we pulled the fas-
ter they would go. Some two
weeks later General Cabell was
the only passenger, and the pro-
pensity of "Lize and Murphy"
TO run was so great that he con-
sidered his life in serious dam
ger. He drew his six-shooter
and kept it cooked, determined
to shoot one of them through
the head if they ever left the
road, something the mules new
er do. They are trained to
keep the road, and to stop only
at stations. They know an In
dian by the smell, and the crack
ling of a stick by the roadside
makes them dart. In case the
driver should be shot from the
box they would keep on to the
station all the same.

JUST TIE TRUTH.--If, in addi-
ton to the l64 votes that have
been all the while conceded to Til

received the vote of some other
large State like Illinois, thus pla-
cling his election by decisive ma.
jority beyond all dispute from the
start, does anybody doubt that the
votes of Louisiana, Florida, and
South Carolina would have been
counted for him, especially the two
former-without the slightest con-
troversy ?
Every intelligent, candid Re-
publican will answer this question
in the affirmative. This will show
him to what desperate eXpedients
the managers of his party are driv,
en- when they attempt to steal the
electoral votes of those States al d
give them to Hayes, in order to
count the latter in by bare ma
jJrity of one.

N& Among the wild ru-
mors that are flying over the
land, is one that the Republi-
can caucus at Washington have
discovered that tic law does
not require the Presi lent
of the Senate TO be q member
Of that body. 1t is thereupon
stated that i'll the event Of au
absolute disagreement between
the two houses Of Congress, in
regard TO the election, Grant
could be elected President Of
the Senate, which would make
him President OF the United
States until his successor was
duly inaugurated. We dare
say such plan might jump
with Grants humor, but the
people have had enough of him
and will all be rcjoiced when he
retires to the obscurity whence
he was dragged.

Money in q Hollow Tree,

A month ago, perhaps, a man
by the name of Jeff'ries, in COM
pany with his family, was out
in the woods hunting nuts, at
Palmyra, Missouri. when one
Of the girls saw something that
attracted her attention in hol-
low tree, and called to her moth
er to come and look at it. Mrs.
Jetfries made some examination,
and soon found it to be an old
paint keg. Upon taking it out,
there was found within it an
earthen jar containing $593 in
gold and silver. They did not
know what to do about it, but
concluded to keep quiet and
wait for developments. How
ever, some of the children men,
toned it at school, and thence it
came to the ear of Isaac and
Jacob johnson, who at once
came to see Jeffries, and soon
convinced him that the treasure
belonged to them and that they
had hid it there the day before
Porter's raid into Palmyra in
1862. After hiding it there
they did not go to lCok for it
for some time and when they
did were totally unable to find
the place Of it's coneealment,
nor had they ever been able to
find it since. The keg had
been pushed up into the hollow
tree and propped up by a stick,
which, in the course of the four
teen years since elapsed, rotted
off and let the treasure down,
and thus it was found by acci-
dent. The Johnsons made a
present of $50 to the little girl
who found it, and who will say
it was not cheap enough.-De-

CHRIsTMASDAY.

Il L
The little lambs were lying still
One bright and starry night;
The shepherds were beside the flocks.
When suddenly light
Was seen, and music soft and sweet
Rang on the listening ear,
And loving words from God to man
Were echoed loudly clear.
The shepherds then were sore afraid,
They knew not what it meant,
Nor why the glorious light was there,
And the bright angel sent,
But straight from heaven, in light Hrray'd
In GODS almighty name,
To give His message unto man
That holy angel came.
The message was for you and me,
And all the world beside,
And this is what the angel said,
That lovely Christmas tide:
Gear not, for now behold l brig
Tidings of JOY and love;
For unto you is born this day,
The Lord, from heaven above;
A little Infant ye shall see
Within manger laid,
Go We, and find your Saviour now,
And be no more dismay'd."
The angel ceased; and suddenly
A host of angels sang,
And the sweet strains of Joy and peace,
Over the country rano;
"Glory to God in highest heaven,
Peace and goodwill on earth,"
Never was such a joyous song
To hail an infants birth.
Yes, jesus Christ, the Son of God,
Was born an Infant fair;
And no soft, downy cradle-be
Pillow'd His forehead there,
But lower than the sons OF men,
The Lord of angels came,
Held in his gentle mothers arms,
And Jesus was His name.
1t was TO lead you up to heaven,
To place you by his side,
TS call the little ones TO Him,
He came, and lived, and died.
THIS is the birthday Of the Lord;
Then try, my little child,
To make it happy, bright and glad,
Be gentle, loving, mild.
kneel down to God, for He is near,
He knows each word you say,
tie loves to see a little child
Go quietly and pray:
Ask Him TO wash your sins away
In Chrst's most precious blood,
And make you happy every day,
A loving child of God.
