EDITOR DEMOCRAT-STAR- Our
town was enlircncd last Saturday
by u picnic given by the Bap-
tisU Sabbath-school of this place
to the scholars. Not limited
to Baptists, however, for all
were invited to participate, and
quite Il nice crowd in attendance.
The day dawned very inauspi-
ciousy. The drip drip of the rain
which hcralded the eaJly morning
caused many a childish face to dull
with disappointment and sorrow;
but about niue or ten O'Clock old
Sol, SO importunrd by the little
folks, showed his smiling face, and
soon all was Il beams and hope
again, then there was IA general
stampede Tor the picnic grounds,
iu the rear of the Baptist church,
meath wide-spreadiug oaks. The
day was passed in ''ieast of music
and flow of SOUL" and there was
another kind OF feast under which
the tables groaned, consisting OF
| the incest delicacies and more sub
stanitial fare, gotten up by our
Moss Point ladies, who excel in all
things they undertake. We did
full Justice to this feast, and pro
nounce it splendid. Croquet was
the diversion, and the smallest
hands were grasping mallets and
knocking balls. AS the grounds
we're so rear the church, the music
| referred to was the church organ,
touched by practical fingers, calling
forth strains of divine music, ac-
companied by smooth sweet voices,
mixed with deeper tones, causing
a concord of delightful sounds. All,

The San Elizario Fight.

HoUsToN, Tex, JAN 3.
The official report of Lieut.. Tavs.
commanding the Rangers at the FL
Paso massacre, is Just in. He gives a
! graphic account. Letters from other
! parties at FL Paso are also received.
The following is the substance of the
accounts of the San Elizario siege:
The rangers occupied a one-storv
adobe house, with the windows and
doors barricaded, and portfolios cut in
the walls. The Mexican besiegers oc-
cupied the neighboring houses, fortifv-
ing the windows, and dug a trench
around the Rangers building, which
| they also mined. On the first day. saws
Lieut.. Tays, the MeXicans charged up
on the building, but they were rppulsed.
On the last day of the fighting he put
up a flag, in order to let the Sheriff of
Pecos County go out. The besierers
let him go without mOlestation, and
sent word to Tays that they wanted to
talk with him. He went out, and
truce was agreed upon till next morn
ing, the MeXicans agreeing not to fire
during the night, and they kept their
word. During the night, however, they
continued to fortify and dig rife-pits.
Tays met them in the morning, and
the MeXicans told him unless he sur
rendered Judge Howard they would
blow up the Rangers building, as they
already had gunpowder under it. They
promised that if Howard would come
down to the mob and relinquish all
claims to the salt lakes, the original
cause of the whole difficulty, they would
not hurt him. Tays told this to How
ard, who replied: g l will 90, as it is
the only chance to save your lives; but
they will kill me-" Tays went down
with Howard, after telling him publicly
he did not want him to do so. and that if
he would remain with the Rangers he
would protect him. Judge Howard an
swered; "It is useless to attempt to
hold them off any longer. This is our
only chance of escape
Howard then bade the Rangers good
by, gave his valuables to his friend
Mcbride, and walked out with Tavs to
the mob. John Atkinson was taken
along as interpreter To save his own
life Atkinson, by agreement with the
MeXicans, returned to the Rangers and
falsely told them Tays had ordered them
to surrender. The Rangers did so and

meeting and determined on the death
OF Howard, Atkinson and Mcbride.
The majority of the mob were for kill
ing all the Rangers, but were dissuaded
by one of their leaders, Chico Barrillo.
The mob yelled tierceiy, and the three
doomed men were led out 100 yards,
and shot standing at the heads of their
own graves. Howard acted with great
GOODNESS, and after the first fire was
quite dead. He stood with his hands
in his pockets. The shooting was done
by MeXicans from Mexico, and it was
with difficulty the Texas Mexicans pre-
vented those from the other side of the
river from slaughterin9 the entire
American population of FL Paso. Two
leaders from Mexico appealed to the
mob to massacre not only the Rangers
but all the Americans in that county.

An Irish Romance.

Alexander Sullivan relates, in his
sketches of "New Ireland, an inter
esting romance connected with the
marriage of Kelvin ODoherty, one of
the prominent members of the repeal
party called E" Young Ireland O'Do-
herty was at the time of the outbreak
of 1S4S young medical student in
Dublin. He was an attractive cOntribu-
tor to the Nation, the organ of the re-
pealers, in which the principles of the
party were most openly and earnestly
promulgated. Among the women who
furnished rebel verses for the seditious
press was a Miss Eva Kelly, the young
daughter of a County Galway gentle
man. O'Doherty was first attracted by
the verses of the young poetess, and after
ward was attracted by herself. The love
of the two sped smoothly until O'Doherty
was arrested, among others, as a con
spirator against the British Government.
When his case was brought to trial the
Jury twice disagreed, and before the
third arraignment he was offered a
virtual pardOn-a merely nominal SEN
tence--if he would plead guilty. The
young lover sent for his sweetheart to
visit him in his prison, and informed
her of the proposition. "It may seem
as If | did not feel the certainty of los
ing you, perhaps forever" said he,
" but l don't like this idea of pleading
guilty. What shall l doP' "Dov'
answered the noble-hearted girl; "why,
be man, and face the worst. I'll wait
for you, however long the sentence
may be-" Next day." writes Mr.
Sullivan, fortune deserted Kevin,
The jury found him guilty, The Judge
assigned him ten years transportation
Eva was allowed to see him once more
in the cell to say adieu. She whispered
in his ear; BE faithful, rH wait. AnC
she did. Years fled by, and the young
exile was at length allowed once more
TO tread ON Irish soil. Two days aftel
he landed at Kingstown, Eva was hi
bride.n O'Doherty is to-day distin
guished member of the Queensland
Legislature.
