, Generation after generation have
felt as We now feel, and their lives
were as active as our own, They
passed away like vapor while nature
wore the same aspect Of beauty as
when she first existed. The heavens
shall beas over our graves as they
are around our paths. The world
willhaye the same attractions for
the offspring yet unborn as it once
had for the children. Yet a little
while and all this willhaye happen-
ed. The. throbbing heart will be
stilled, and We shall be at rest, Our

shall be left initheidarknoss and ST.

gotten. Days win continue to move
on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the room where we died;
and the eye that mourned for US will
be dry and animated with JOY, and
even our children will cease to think
of US and will remember to lisp our
names no more.

Thlrly.lhree Years Imprlaoned.


A woman has lately been found in
a secluded cave near Udino, in Italy,
who had been imprisoned there thir-
ty.three years. In 1874 she became
attached to an Austrian officer, but
her father, a violent hater of the Aus
trians, who, at that time, were in
possession Of that part of Italy where
he resided, refused his consent to
marriage. The girl stated that she
would then marry without his per-
mission. lie dissimuated his anger,
and during a walk, in which he ac-
companied her, he induced her to
descend into the cave with him by
means of a ladder, with view of
examining it, He was the first to
ascend to the surface, and withdraw
ing the ladder, left her. She was
kept regularly supplied with food
and clothing.
AT her fathers death, her sister,
whose hatred toward the Austrians
was equally great, continued the i'm
prisonment The unfortunate wo-
man, on her liberation, had a ebrn-
plexion of death like pallor, caused
dartnesS I'd wiiich she had so
long lived, and her voice had depart
ed, though constant cries for help
during the early part of her seques.
tration. She could speak only in a
horse whisper.

A Fiour,shing Insurance Company


From the Liverpool Couricr.l
There was quite jubilant tone at
the forty first annual meeting of the
liverpool and London and Globe Iu.
surunce company, held yesterday,
under the presidency Of Mr.. Joseph
Hubback. The accounts produced
showed the company to be in a very
flouriShing condition second to none
in the world" to quote Mr.. Bigham,
who, however, would have been better
satisfied if the directors had advised n
greater dividend. The balance left to
the credit of the profit and loss account
for the year is e77,2 95, and Mr.. Hub
back remarked that with this amount
undivided, the reserve fund at mil
lion sterling, and the invested funds
at nearly FIVE millions and a quarter,
the proprietors must all feel that the
ground they stand on is, as far AZ
human ken can divine, satisfactory
and solid.
Mr.. J. j. Carnes, of this city, is the
representative of this excellent COM
pany.

avail, the crowd of seeming lyncheis
retraoed THEN steps 10 the Jail, and re-
mandod theprisoner to the keeping of
this model sheriff of johnson county.
This affair was disgrace, and we
have never before heard of sim.
liar occurrence in civilized country
What will be thought of sheriff who
voluntarily allows and participates in
such conduct toward n prisoner placed
in his custody ? Any hypothesis that
may be INDUCED in regarding the affair
Is extremely discreditableto the officer
and the citizens Of johnson county
should hold him to strict account
The conduct Of the crowd who took the
prisoner from the jail and used fear to
extort confession was reprehensible
enough, but the idea of the trusted
officer who sanctioned such course is
almost beyond belief.

An Uuhcnrd Of Proceeding

Waco Examiner. An incident has just
occurred at Cleburne, johnson county,
that is altogether novel and unheard
of in it's way; and one too that reflects
30 strongly and untavorably upon the
sheriff of johnson county, that we shall
be greatly astonished il that gentleman
will be deemed worthy to hold his
office a great while longer. The facts
are briefly as follows; a man named
Bowden was confined ia the county JAIL
charged with murder. 1t seems that
he has never yet had a trial. Certain
citizens in the county supposed that
others, besides Bowden, were concerned
in the murder, and that Bowden, If he
would, could unravel the W hole mystery
But Bowden was reticent, kept his own
counsel and could not be induced to
sneak about the matter. Finally these
inouisitive citizens hit upon u scheme
that they thought would elicit the
desired information, and the sheriff OF
the county, to his shame be 1t SAID, lent
lis influence and allowedit to be carried
ont, 1t was this: On the night OF the
Doth instant, body of men proceeded
to the Jail, and with the acknowledgement
sanction of the sheriff took the prisoner
Rowden from his cell and carried hm
ont Of town, about mile, and stopped
under A large tree, with convenient
limbs No violence was used, but 1t
was made to appear to the man that he
was to be hung, then ana
there, unless he confessed al
about the murder. But this had
no effect on him. lie calmly looked
M ot the limbs and told the crowd they
could hang him if they wished, but he
had nothing to confess; and although
kept there for some time, no in,o sia q,
ton bearing on the crime was hal IRON,

most intelligent farmers we have in this
fine neighborhood look for the best
wheat harvest we have had for several
years.
Not the slightest fear of the ravages
of the grasshoppers need be felt, so all
the older settlers, especially those who
were here in 1883 say, Youare exactly
right when you say at has been the
history OF this insect, that when it is
hatched in district of country that
district is safe for that season"
Corn is about all planted and the
work has been well done, Cotton bed,
ding is now the order of the day. Fruit
is injured very slightly by the recent
cold snap. Cattle are beginning to pick
up very fast and nice tender juicy
steaks glimmer toothsJmely in the neal
