Washington Gazette

Washington Gazette.
Colonel Money, OF the Third Mis-
sissippi district, retains many
laughable "reminiscences OF the car
pet.bag regime in his State from
1867 to 1874. Among others, du-
ring the session of the Legislature
in 1874, "a body, composed OF
about so per cent. OF ignorant ne
groes and villainous adventurers,
he describes the following scene:
a great, thick.lipped corn fielder,
IA member OF the house, offered a
resolution enacting that ''from and
after dat date,n every member OF
that august body should, eX-oihclo,
be admitted to practice in all the
courts of the State, as If each liad
received regular professional H.
cense. The assembled ignorance
of the State, il WAS feared 10y tue
shrewder carpet-basgers, would
pass the bill with a whoop, to the
infinite discredit of sthe party"
Whereupon one OF them rose, with
the utmost suavity, and mildly, yet
firmly, protested that while he had
no misgivings as to the very extraor-
binary natural capacities of the eX'
controllers present, and OF the
mover of the bill, in particular, still
it had been always, and yet WAS
an ancient custom, eve if an I'M
reasonable prejudice, that the prac-
titioner at the bar should be at
least learned in the ordinary rudi-
ments of the English-such as
readin' and writin', if not 'ritame,
tic, and hence he must protest
against this wholesale manufacture
of lie .! lights.
In response, the mover of the
resolution argued that If he were
as talented as his colleague had
suggested--and no doubt he was!
it was high time that himself
and others of the stop rails !"
should cast about for an easier and
more honorable means OF liveli.

Shall We Meet Again.

The following is II of the most
brilliant articles written by the la.
mented George ID. Prentice:
''The fiat of nature is memorable.
There is no appeal for relief from
the great law which doOms us to
dust. We flourish and fade as the
leaves of the forest, and the flowers
that bloom and wither in IA day
have no Trailer hold upon life than
the mightiest monarch who ever
shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations OF men will appear and
disappear as the grass, aud the
multitude that thrOng the world to
day, will disappear as the footsteps
on the shore. Men seldom think of
the great event of death until the
shadow falls across their own path
way, hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living
smile was the sunlight of their ex-
istence. Death is the antagonistic
of lite, and the thought of the tomb
is the skeleton of the feasts. We
do not want to go through the dark
valley, although its dark passage
may lead to paradise; we do not
want to lie down in the damp grave,
even with princes for bed fellows.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the
hope of Immortality, so e%loquently
uttered by thedeath- devoted Greek,
fluids deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to
yield his young existence as IA sac
rifice TO tate, his Clemanthe asks if
they should meet again, to which
he replies: 81 have asked that
dreadful question of the hills that
look eternal-ot the clear streams
that flow forever-Ot the stars
among whose fields of azure my
raised spirits have walked in glory.
All We're dumb, but as | gaze upon
thy living face, | feel that there is
something in the love that mantles
through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemanthe.'

What in Gods name are they fight

of loading the public with the bur
den OF p%auperlsm, of crowding our
prlsOn-honses with felons, of de-
tracing from the productive indus
try OF the country, of running
fortunes and breaking hope, of
breeding disease and wretchedness
of destroying both body and
soul. There is no question before
the American people to-day that
begins to match i'll Importance, the
temperance question.
The question of American slavery
was never anything but "a baby by
the side OF this; aud we propheSy
that within ten years, it not within
five, the whole country is awaken
ed to it, and divided upon it..
Temperance laws are being passed
by the various legislatures, which
they must sustain or so over, soul
and body, TO the liquor interest and
influence. Steps are being taken
on behalf Of the public health,
morals and prosperity, which they
must approve by voice or act, ~
they must consent to be left ont.
There can be nc concession, and no
compromise on the part of temper
ance mel aud no quarter to the foe
The great curse of Il country and
OF our race must be destroyed.

Family.
4 r is COMING HOME !

Five little noses against the pane,
Five pnirs of eyes peoring down the lane
to see thro' the mist and rain,
If papa is coming home.
The clock on the mantel has just struck
four,
Which tells they've to wait one half hour
Before the train with its rattle and roar,
viii bring their papa home.
Five little faces clean and sweet,
Dimpled fingers aud dancing feet,
Well-brushed jacket and aprons neat,
For papa is coming home.
Over the track with its light so bright,
The long tram glides in its rapid Hight
And the little children are happy tonight,
For papa is coming home.
The whistle sounds, the gates aswing,
Footsteps chatter and voices ring,
Red lips kiss and white arms cling,
For papa has come home.

Never let a lie go to seed in your
souls. lfyou should happen to be
temped into telling a falsehood, let
it be plucked out by a proper con
fession of your fault AS quickly as
possible. Pluck it out and east it
from you, for | do assure you that
of all the noxiOus weeds that find
root in the garden of the soul, none
go to seed more quickly, or multi
ply more rapidly, than does false

The fossilized remains of a gigantic
prehistoric man have been discovered
200 feet beneath the earth's surface, in
a cave recently opened in the Kit Car
son mine, near Eureka. The lower
limbs. head and neck were as natural as
those of the Cardiff giant, O., and in
some respects the traces of the
human features plainly marked. That
they have found the remains of
some prehistoric being is beyond
question. One Of the lower extremities
was broken of. and Is now ON exhibition

examined by numerous people recently.

The new town of Williamsburg, in
Throckmorton county, about 100 miles
west of Fort Worth, is attracting con-
siderable attention. The town is loca-
ted in the most beautiful section of
country in the state, bordering on n
beautiful stream and convenient to coal
beds. Forty acres of ground have been
set aside for park, and forty for fair
grounds, and the streets and alleys are
wide. Capt. Cole was the founder Of
the town, and has accomplished much
in bringing out immigrants from Penn

There is little town in Baylor
county called Oregon City, a part Of
whose inhabitants live in caves; not
particularly because they are savages or
know nothing of the comforts of civil
lied life, but merely on account OF
scarcity of lumber and the distance
from market Uncomfortable as this
may sound, those who inhabited caves
were in the most comfortable quarters
in the place, and actually suffered from
heat in their dwellings during the re-
cent cold spell. These caves are not
natural formations, but are dug out of
side hill, and are about the size of a
moderately large room, and at the side
farthest from the entrance have fire
place and a hue running up to the sur
face of the ground, and further up the
hill than the entrance good ventilation
is secured This little town Oregon
City, was begun last fall by colony
from Oregon, containing some nine
families. There are now some dozen
buildings in the place. 1t will be the
county seat of Baylor county when or

Ari-Olld.

A wonderful place is Tinajas, about
thirty miles southeast of Mission Camp.
The mountains have one face of hard,
smooth granite. All the water falling
upon this basin has to flow through nine
tanks, one above the other. The lower
tanks are of easy access, and are often
drained of their contents by men and
animals travelling between Yuma and
Sonora. The upper tanks are approach
ed only by circuitous and difficult climb
ing over rocks. TO one standing below
they afford no indication Of their exist
ence, nor does climbing the smooth,
steep mountain side seem possible to
one unacquainted with the way to do it.
In the upper tanks water has never been
known to fail. To this water comes
game of all kinds in great numbers
from the great waterless country around
Tinajas. Antelope, mountain sheep
and deer of several kinds, come in
herds. Rabbits and hares ore as plenty
as anywhere, and are prey for many
cayotes and beautiful little rock foxes.
One would think that all this game
would be thinned out by the Papago
Indians who inhabit the country. But
these Indians are srperstitious, and
avoid Tinajas with abject terror. With
in two miles of this water are certainly
one hundred and fifty graves, and prob
ably more, each marked by rows OF
stones laid in form of cross. Scores
of men, famished for water, have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
Tinajas, only to find the lower tanks
dry, and, ignorant of the upper ones,
have lain down in despair to die. The
remains have been buried by later trav-
elers and their graves marked, Mexican
fashion, by cross of stones. During
the rush to the gold fields of California
cholera attacked the Adventures on the
road from Mexico, as it did American
immigrants along the Platte pestilence
combined with thirst to gather corpses
at Tinajas. Recollection of bleaching
bones and grinning skulls protects the
game from Papago arrows and flint
locks. After passing through its usual
fermentation the water becomes clear
and pure as any in the world; it comes
from the clouds only, and, flowing into
the tanks over insoluble granite, it car
ries no mineral matter. Every heavy
rain pours a whirling torrent through
the tanks, washing them out to the very
bottom--no organic matter stays be-
hind. The number and variety of birds
here are marvellous, many of them ap-
pearing to be of new and undescribed
species. At morning and evening the
din of their song, confined by sides of
the mountain, is almost deafening. All
around Tinajas is the remarkable vege-
tation of the desert; near its tanks are
many and curious plants nourished by
their moiSture-.HeSiNG Sentinel.

after. 1t is probable that for the present no
general regulations will be laid down. but that
the arrival of each consignment will be closely
watched, and each case dealt with on its own
merits. Those who are engaged in the trade
contend that an unnecessary amount OF alarm
has been created out of the Ortario's case, and
even dispute the statement that the animals
condemned have suffered from pleuro-pneu-
monia. For protection of their own interests
they have retained the service Of veterinary
surgeons of high repute, to act As check upon
