Died

At the residence of DR.. w. II Cain, in
this city, on Friday evening, the 9Th
inst, Mr.. Charles J Briscoe, aged 81
years.
The deceased was born near Canton,
Madison county, Mississippi, in 1857,
where his family resided until 1860
when they moved to Forest, Scott coun.
ty, Miss. Here he was raised, and spent
the greater portion of his life. Three
years since, his parents having both died,
he moved to M0rrist0w East Tennes-
see, where he lived up to the time he
came to Texas, seine five months since.
While Charlie was very quiet unas.
Stunning boy, he always impressed an OBJ
server as being no ordinary one, and
during his whele life was a general ia
vorite with all who knew him. AS will
be seen from the age given above he was
just entering the sphere of manhood, yet
we doubt if there was a better business
man in Calvert than he. Always attend
ing strictly to business he commanded
the admiration Of his employers Soci-
ally he was one of the NEST popular
young gentlemen in Calvert, though
having been here but a few months and
we confidently assert that nobler boy
never lived. In his death the society OF
Calvert lost a good member, his com
panions a noble associate and his family
devoted brother.-CdLUert Central Ter

The New York Herald, noticing the
Florida Confession, says the idea OF Mr..
Blair and his hacker or hackers that a
batch of confessions would strengthen
their chances was pure Stiffness. There
was no need of fresh evidence to con-
vince democrats in or out of Congress
that Florida and Louisiana were given
lieved this when the Electoral Commits
sion was organized, and continued to
believe it with undiminished conviction
after Dir. Hayes was declared elected.
In spite of that fixed belief the demo-
cratic party judged it wise to abide by
the decision. As the Florida confessions
can have no possible effect on their pre-
Vious opinions there is no logical reason
why they should change their attitude;
Allowing to the confessions all the value
which Mr.. Blair o. Mr. Tilden can claim
for them, whose opinion can they alter ?
And why should democrats change their
action when there is no change in their
beliefS Tho fact that McLin had con-
fessed had leaked out in Washington
and was told from mouth to mouth in
confidence before the Herald began its
interviews; but the knowledge OF MEM
bers on that point made no difference in
theirsentiments, because McLin and the
others could add nothing substantial to
what was already known. The Demo
cratic party having decided to accept
Mr.. Hayes, Notwithstanding their full
belief in the Florida and Louisiana
frauds, .McLIn's confession could have
no effect one way or the other.

ORITUARY NOTICES.

The editor of the Nashville Christian
Allocate, in reviewing his editorship OF
that paper at the ending of twelve
years, very truthfully says
"a page has been consecrated to me-
moirs, which we have edited with much
labor and care, and sometimes with
small thanks. Obituaries are frequently
written by incompetent persons-usual-
Iy friends Of the bereaved, who mistake
bombast for fine writing, and maudlIn
sentimentalism for sympathy and pa
thoa. Chnrch-yard literature is proven
bially absurd and disgusting. To edit
matter Of this sort-retaining the facts
and general tone Of the obituary, but
eliminating bald common places and
fuIsome euIogies-and not give offence
70 the parties concerned-is what no
man can do. yet we have, for twelve
years, week by week, essayed the i'm
possible task. We doubt II any one
else has taken 50 much pains as we have
taken to give satisfaction in this matter
and yet it must needs be that offences
come. We cannot help tive have no
pardons to ask or excuses TO offer"
All editors have had corresponding
trials, in less degree, perhaps. 1t is a
nice talent which induces the writing Of

4 REMTNLSGENHE

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The Senate of the United States is
supposed to be sedate, orderly body
at any rate, it used to be thought so in
my young years, when Clay, Webster,
Calhoun, Benton and Hayne, were
bright particular stars, supported by
such men as Isaac Hill, of New Hamp-
shire, McDuff1e of South Carolina, Crit
] tenden and Moorehead of Kentucky, ST.
las Wright of New York, and Freling-
huysen of New Jersey. Wrang ling in
that body was unknown, or almost en-
tirely so, while disgraceful scenes in the
House of Representatives were frequent,
as well as in these later years. The
members of both Houses were and are
bound down by arbitrary rules, to go
outside of which laid them liable to cen
sure, aud, of course, the attention of the
whole country would be turned to them.
But well remember that the exact, for
NAL courtesy exhibited within the Sen
ate walls, did not always characterize
Senators outside. A case in point ST.
las Wright of New York, while not es-
teemed one of the great Senators, was
man who exercised powerful influence
over the legislation of the nation.
Those were trOuolous times in 1910.
The Democratic party was in power,
and they had to battle against the bust
ness men of the country, who were gen.
orally Wings. That party had power
full advocates in Clay, Webster, Critten-
den, Moorehead, and many others, and
hard times" were upon the nation.
The suffering now experienced is in no
degree comparable to what was then
felt, though it is bad enough. The
Wings said that the Administration was
the cause of it. Perhaps so; but the
people were not without fault, for they
dove into speculations, which we now
see were impelled by species of insani-
ty Great conventions were held by
both parties. Thousands upon thous-
ands of people assembled to hear their
respective leaders "spOut" upon the
stump. New, lam coming to my point.
A meeting in New York city had been
called by the Wings, which was to be
addressed by Daniel Webster. The day
arrived, and the multitude gathered.
I stood afar off, yet was enabled to hear
every word uttered by the great orator.
As might be expected, from the place
and occasion, his theme was the finan-
cial measures of the Democratic party.
Dir. Wright was, think, Chairman of
the Finance Committee of the Senate,
and Mr.. Webster, of course. addressed
himself to him. remember he was
very severe upon Mr.. Wright, and in
rounding up ole of his sentences, point
ed his finger in sarcastic manner and
exclaimed, in a stentorian tone, "Shamei
Shamer' Just then the welkin rang
with shouts.
Now, Daniel Webster would never
have dared to say " Shamel Shamer' in
the Senate, which shows to all the peo-
pie the necessity for parliamentary rules
to be strictly observed in such a digni-
fled body as the United States Senate
ought TO be. 1t would be well il the
members of the House of Representa-
tives should follow the example of the
Senate closer. r. r. r..

ing of paralysis. He was born in Tip

1881, and emigrated to the United States
when he was five years of age. He was
brought up among the rough irOn-werk-
ers of Troy, New York, where he i'm
bibed fendness for athletic sports, and
was early thrown int bad associations
In early manhood he fought three prize
fights, one being with George Thomp-

Yankee Sullivan, at Boston Corners, n.
Y, in 1853, and his last with John c.
Heenan in Canada, in 1857. He was
awarded the victory in all those con-

as prize-hghting was concerned, became
a patron of the turf and adopted the
business of gambling. His establish
ment at Saratoga every summer was
probably one of the largest aud most
fashionable gambling resorts in the
world. He held at different times sew

was elected to Congress in 1866. He
served several terms in the New York

The greatest protection the farmer has
is the birds that make their homes about
his premises and prey upon the bugs and
worms and insects which frequently lay
waste his growing crops. By no means
destroy or brighten away the feathered
songsters, who, though they may claim
something to eat from your fields and
garden, are snre to save from the insects
many timesas much as. they take of your
crops.

PARENTS, LOOK TO YOUR BOY

PARENTS, LOOK TO YOUR BOYS.
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
One of our best citizens has just been
talking to me concerning the condition
of the morals of the youth of Norris
town, especially the boys. He truth
fully said that the whole difficulty is be-
cause parents-too many of them, at any
rate-bring up their sons in idleness,
and he pointed the way out of the di-
lemms, viz At ten years of age, to put
them out to some useful employment.
The great want of our age and country
is an apprenticeship system, by which
our boys can be educated to some call
ing. Many, very many, parents think it
is too hard for their darling ducklings to
work, but there is right where the trou-
BILE commences. Parents should begin
to discipline their children while yet in
the cradle, and when partly grown, keep
their boys from loafng about the stores
and streets, and especially keep them in
doors, at home, of nights. Will the
parents of some dozen or so of boys,
from six to fifteen years of age, act up
en- these suggestions before the devil
fairly gets their sons under his control,
when there are small hopes OF reform ?
A word to the wise ought to be sufi-
cient.
