to have occurred at Corsicana Nevarro county.
For some time q number of Cumberland

of miracles and visions had returned. These
people have been styled Sanc.ifcationists,
and are led by Rsvs. Graves GardnigLt and
Ri. Haynes. Graves, some months ago
either had or pretended to have a long series
Of visions. Two ladies attended the prayer
meetings Of these men regularly, and helped
the exercises BY singing. One of them .
young unmarried lady the other day is said
to have given birth to an infant, whose pa.
terni,y she laid to the Holy Spirit asserting
after its birth that she was still and had
been Swallowed BY, the Holy Spirit. He,
story seems to be believed by the new sec,
but Rev. Haynes, Notwithstanding is report
ed to have married her after the usual form
Of mortals and laws of Texas. 1t is stated
he eaid however that the mother ofthe child
was as pure as the driven snow in his opin
ion.

Sunday Freight Traits.

TIE Florence 1imrs favors the
passage Of the Act to prevent fre light
trains running OH Sunday. 1t says
''Thcrc arc many reasons Why the Act
should be passed, prominent among
which are, that men need rest as well
as hrntes-rest of body anti OF mind
and that it is violation of physical
laws not 10 rest one day in seven.
Statistics ahundanly prove that men
who habitually work on the Sabbath
soon wear out. There are highar req
sons why the Sabbath should he re-
spected by railroad corporations.
Moral responsibility must rest some
where, shirk it rs they may. If il is
getting to be a belief tlat railroad
men can violate the Sabbath upon the
ground Of eXpedicncy, it is high time
for the fullacy TO be exploded"

Judge Mclver's DecIina.ion.

The letter, announcing the fact that
Judge McIver declines the position
of Chief Justice Of the State Supreme
Court to which he had been so recent
ly elected, was unexpected and the
news created no little speculation in
Legislative circles as we'll as through.
out the State. Mr.. McIver's promi-
nence in public affairs and the known
integrity of his private life, gave just
cause to the state to congratulate
herself upon his election aud upon Sc
curing the advantages of his legal
skill in deciding the important ques-
tions to be brought before the court
during the next few years. 1t was
universally hoped that the Legislative
committee, which decided upon the
vacancy, had canvasscd the entire
ground, and that when July comes,
Judge McIver, without trouble. might
enter upon the duties of his office.
His refusal therefore to accept the
Office has disappointed every calcula.
ton and thrown the whole matter in
worse confusion than ever before.
We believe, however, that Judge Nc
Ivcr's decision Is the result of maluIc
deliberatiOn and not made save by
the advice of others as true to the
state as himself, whose opinions are
entitled to the higest respect from
our citizens. His motive is higher
than mere personal advancement,
and based upon sincere desire to
take no step which might leopard any
interest Of the state in the slightest
degree. If in the course Of events It
be decided that there was no vacan-
cy md therefore the Legislature had
no occasion or right to fill vacancy
that did not exist, discrganization
Of the highest judicial tribunal known
TO the state would be the inevitable
result. Such n decision would not
only impair the legality of its com
position but would leave on the
bench only two Judges. Willard and
MCGOWAN, which would certainly
imperll the welfare Of the state.
However desirious it may be to Sc.
cure full bench Of our best jurists,
we believe Judge McIvcr acted dclib.
erately and wisely.

love TO her offspring. From The ice

| Ihinh that the smallest chimney OF

lile Is when age and experience re-
veal tho fact that Santa Claus is moth
ing but q myth, and is only counter
acted by a sacred sense OF gratitude
10 tho parent who practiced the dc.
ccption. There are few persons who
do not enjoy tho fun Of geeing the
little ones tumble out Of bed pell

great anxiety to acc the stockings /;
and when tue fact, that they are full,
is known with what delight they re
turn to wake up papa and mamma to
share with them the joys of the eX-
plorations. With hair all rnmpled,
checks aglow and eyes bcaning with
joy, they begin the work as chill
dren only can begin il. Every treas
ure Withdrawn is Aeralled with a
wloop Of delight until the very bot
tom Of mammals longest stocking is
reached. Never miner seized II
nugget from the deepest recess Of his
excavation with more avitiity than
children do the precious gifts Of old
Santa Claus from the stocking. There
was custom also in the oldan times,
after the stockings were explored, :ol
the family, children and all, to as
semble ut the family altar and sing
that beautiful hymn, "While shcp-
herds watched their tlocks ny night"
and in earnest prayer to return
thanks TO the Giver Of every good
and perfect gift for this season Of
great joy. This was a beautiful GUS
tom but has been lost sight Of in these
muttcr-of, fact and business times. Ii
strikes us that no music could be
swecter and no occasion more appro-
pirate for it, than the beautiful blend
in5 of the children, the mother and
the fathers voices in solemn chorus
that this ancient custom afforded.
Would that it. were so now, then
might we realize something Of the
joyous feeling that actuated the Ju-
dean shepherds when they heard the

Ireland.

This country, rendered historic as
much for its misfortunes rs anything
else, has for the last year presented
the appearance Of pcnt up volcano
making every effort TO burst forth in
terrible eruption. This condition
of Irish affairs is due to long series
oftrouhlcs finding their origin in gov
ernmental oppression and politica!
exclusion by the English. The eli
max has been reached in the present
year by the close competition OF
American products and the terrible
suffering consequent upon bad sea-
son and general failure OF crops
throughout the country. Tenants
have failed to meet their rents and
landowners are pushing them for pay
ment. In the midst Of this state of
things, Irish leaders at home have
advised them 10 pay as far as posi-
bic and to resist by force all demands
beyond their ability 10 pay. Some
measure Of relief, 10y way of conccs-
sion, must be made by the govern
ment or the trouble is not yet ended
