REZAN RHETORIC.
A LEGISLATORS SPEECH AGAINST THE
INDIANS.

Col j. 8. Ford IN the Texas Legislature.
An incident forces itsslf upon my mem
ory. Thirty years ago Doc Sullivan, Alph
Neal and myself, accompanied by Major r,
N. Neighbors, Indian agent, went on an
exploring exploring expedition to the then
quite unknowa region of Ell Paso. We
spent several months in the Comanche
camp and with the people Of that tribe.
We were encamped on Brady's creek, about
one hundred and twenty miles above, and
west of Austin. The bands of Shanaco
and Yellow Wolf were united warriors.
women and children numbered about
5000. saw a woman mounted on a horse
and recognized her as an American. She
had fair complexion, blue eyes and au-
burn hair. Captain Jim Shaw, Delaware
Indian, the United States interpreter, gave
timely warning not TO speak to her-that
the penalty was death. gazed upon her
in mute Indignation and pity. The whole
figure was an apt and forcible personiaca-
tion of despair. Anguish was depicted in
every lineament of her face-the eye seemed
an index Of heart bereft Of hope and aban-
doned to sorrow and sense of utter DESC
lation. To her the past was lost, the pres
ent an abject misery, the future a dark
page to be filed with letters of grief and
incidents of pain, privation and torturing
pangs of recollection. Those eyes had
looked upon home rich in endearments,
that heart had throbbed with love, and
those lips had expressed the joyous feeling,
but alas alas! an evil hour, all was
changed-the loved one was snatched from
all the heart held to become the coerced
bride of savage warrior, the unwilling
mother of young barbarians, the servant
destined to perform menial service to a
Comanche, to be punished BY the Lash,
dragged by the lasso and sold as beast OF
burden. It may be reprehensible in me to
say it'll have done some tolerably rough
Indian fighting, but never led headlong
charge without having the figure of that
woman before my minds eye just as she
appeared on Brady's creek, and my con-
science does not accuse me of failure to
ayenge her sad fate. I wish to God she
could be permitted to stand before this Sem
ate and appeal to It's members with the
mute eloquencs Of grief 60 protect the ex-
posed families which constitute the advance
guard of. progress and civilization, and to
allow human blood and human suffering to
be placed in one scale and money in the
other. and then to be instrumental in oaus-
ing the sordid metal TO weigh down that
which is toe sacred 70 be valued in dollars
and cents, which is above all price.

rent down to the English Bend, six mile
below the city, carrying into captivity wo
children and babies, over 1000 of the hand
kerchief army. The drama on the leves
concluded by remanding the Confederatei
to their city prison, from whence they wert
| quietly packed off to their destination by ar
early boat next morning.
Their departure from the levee was the
signal for cessation of hostilities, one
party pocketing their handkerchiefs and
going home to tea, the other sheathing their
bayonets and returning to camp. The ex-
cursionists on the Laurel Hill did not get
off SO easily. They were detained at the
English Bend all night, and, the boat being
| quite unprovided for such an emergency,
they got nothing for supper but a very linn
tied supply of "hard-taek," and on being
brought back to the city next morning had
to take the " Federal oath" for breakfast, a
ceremony exacted of each fair captive as the
price of liberty. e-' ---
We don't know which party claimed the
victory in this affair, but, as might be ex-
pected, some champion of the ladies "fung
the last brick in the shape of a mock heroic
poem, entitled lie Bataille des Mouch-
oirs," somewhat in the humor of Francis
Hopkinson's Battle of the Kegs" As a
deliberately concocted political demonstra.
ton, the commanding General was much
vexed at this absurd business, but very
wisely took no further notice of it. Colo
mel Clarke always insisted that the ovation
was pleasant and harmless piece Of devil
ment which, if it had been judiciously let
alone. would have caused neither trouble
nor modification to any one. But the story
of the "Battle Of the Hand
kerchlefs " has a moral as we'll as polite
al significance. Woman is constitationally
antocratic, and not democratic. She rules
BY the power of single will, not by ma
jorities. To realize the full measure of her
influence size must act individually, not in
combinations. AS unit she has melted
armies to victory and directed the policy of
States; she has led conquerers by the nose,
stultified the wisdom of sages and shaved
the heads of heroes. She is the poetry of
history. But woman "en masse" loses
all her peculiar influence. Female mobs,
conventions and town meetings are but ag-
gregations of feebleness, futi'ity and fancy
millinery. ....-..

HAPPINESS. No person ever lived who
at all times bad everything be desired; but
it is generally said that the nearer person
is supplied with all he desires the happier
be is. Perfect happiness. according to this
standard, would therefore b. waen per-
son has everything he desires. And to at
tain TO this perfection it would, of would, be
the same whether be would contract his
wants within the supply. or expand the
supply to cover his wants. But, unfortu-
nately, the wants Of man generally increase
with the supply, always keeping far In atl-
vance OF It. Hence happiness il, like the
" Will-o'-the-wisp, y always ahead Of Us.

LEND A HELPING HAND.

Lift littlel Lift Little!
Neighbors, lend a helping hand
To that heavy-laden brother,
Who for weakness scarce csn stand.
Whst to thee, with thy strong muscle,
Seems light and easy load,
Is to him ponderous burden,
Cumbering his pilgrim road.
Lift littlei Lift little!
Effort gives one added strength;
That which staggers him at rising
Thou canst hold at arms full length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,
Not thy praise that thou art strong;
1t is God makes lives to differ
Some from wailing, some from song.
Lift little! Lift little! ...
Many they that need thv and:
Many lying on the roadside,
Meath misfortune's dreary shade.
Pass not, like the Priest and Leyite,
Needless of thy fellow man,
But, with heart and arm extended,
Be the good Samaritan.

LIFE.

And what 10 life7 Naught but debt,
That all are doomed to pay:
A narrow path with thorns beset.
A dark and winding way;
Only field to labor in,
Where work is never through,
Where every task accomplished makes
A double task to do.
1t is dark and dreary day,
And clouds of sorrow rise;
While pleasures evanescent ray
Scarce flicker in the skies.
1t 10 strangely-minded scene
OF tumult, toll and strife;
And yet poor human nature clings
Tenaciously to life.
