EAinasvilla Hesnerian


On yesterday at o'clock, p. M, our tai
ented representative in congress from this
district addressed large audience in oul
court house. His speech was received with
the greatest applause, and gave universal
satisfaction, so much so that our precinc,
meeting, which Immediately followed, by d
resolution endorsed his career in congress
unanimously, as will be perceived in their
proceedings. Colonel Wellborn's speech
was happily received and handsomely deliv'
cred, His compliments to Hancock and
English elected rounds of applause, and met
the hearty Enforcement of nearly every one
present, He also referred to the Greenback
movement, and showed the absolute absurdi-
ty Of the organization, and the impractical
bility of its efforts in most convincing terms.
His visit to our county was most opportune,
and he made many new friends and admirers
amongst our citizens.
The following is the resolution referred to
in the above;
Resolved, That tho course of Hon. DIN
Wellborn, as our representative in congress
together with the laws originated and caused
to be enacted by him, meet with our hearty
approval. therefore we endorse him rs our
candidate for re-elecrion, and instruct our
delegates to support him in the county con-
yention Of Cooke county, which convenes
August 2, 1880. Adjourned.

Large Land Purchase.

MIR. Ell. Gage, Of the we'll known firm Of
Powell Il Gage land dealers, has returned
from San Antonio. While there he entered
or fled on record thirty-ave thousand acres
Of the best land in Crockett county. The
body the firm has secured is very fine,
adapted both to grazing and agricultural pur-
poses, though 1t Is generally best suited fer
grazing. 1t Is splendidly watered by the San
Pedro river and Its tributaries, which furnish
an abundant supply of water the year
around. These gentlemen are fortunate in
securing such fine body of land.

OBITUARY..


Mrs. Susan e. A. Long was born in Balti-
more, Md, July 2sth, 1850, and died in Dallas
Texas, July 2and, 1850. Her maiden name was
Wilkinson She was married to Mr.. Edward
Long October 18th, 1879.
1t was but yesterday when her feeble but
sweet voice could be heard by her weeping ia.
Their and loving husband, but this morning,
ere the sun had risen, her spirit had taken its
flight to the mansions in heaven.
She had suffered for several months, and
bore all her pains and sutierlngs with true
christian fortitude. As a daughter, she was
the eldest OF o large and interesting family,
kind and devoted. She was meek, patient,
industrious, intelligent and sffsctionate. To
her kind husband (who seldom left her bed
eide during her illness) she was all consola-
ton, all love, and the bright star of hope that
shons on his future happiness.
To her friends she was kind associate and
companion. She possessed the love and ad-
miration Of them all, and they long lived In
hopes that she would yet be spared to again
mingle with them.
But she is gone. God in His affecting dis
pensation has bersft her relatives and friends
OF one Of their purest and most precious as
sociates, and while 1t is too true that she has
left sorrow-stricken father and mother, a
sad and disconsolate husband and host OF
friends to grieve her loss, yet why should we
mourn when we know that her many noble
qualities in this life will cause her TO shine as
one of the brightest stars in the galaxy OF glo-
rifled spirits.
May God heal the broken heart OF her
sad father mother and sisters, and may lie
cheer and comfort the lonely and disconso.
late husband is the prayer of FRIEND.

GARFIELD OONDEMNED BY THE SUPREME

When the De Golyer ring was endeavoring
to flch money from the government under
pretext Of paving the streets Of Washington,
they brought into their service one Chitten'
don, shrewd lobbyist and cunning rascal
and promised to give him one-fourth of all
he succeeded in getting congress to
appropriate to the ring. Chittenden
quickly proved he was the right man for this
crowd by purchasing as his first step General
j. A. Garfield, paying. him $4,000 for his ser.
vices Garfield was chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, and the man
above all others the ring stood in most need
OF. Garfield drew up bill appropriate
ing 100000 for the pavements; got it ap-
proved by the committee, but II failed in the
house. He made some verbal alterations,
then brought it forward, when It was again
defeated. In the last hours of the session the
bill was once more sprung sud
denly upon the house, and = passed.
The. president approved it, the Dis
trict of Columbia committee, or Boss Shep-
pard gang, turned the money over to De Col
yer & Co., they put down cheap pavement
and pocketed two-thirds of the whole amount
drawn from the government. Garfield was
promptly paid his share of the steal, $1,000.
Bat according to the agreement made
with one another by these rogues, Chttenden
was entitled to 100000. one.quarter of the
100000. He demanded It and was fatty re-
fused. whereupon he brought suit

The defendants, DeGolyer, Mcclellan ct al,
denied that they owed him anything, al.
though at the same time admitting that
such bargain was made. They plead that
the whole transsction they had engaged in
was . swindle and q steal, and being such
Chittenden could not recover from them.
The judge decided the point we'll taken, and
aaid thst..sitting in Judgment between the
rights of thieves was not part Of It's func-

The Pigeons of Venice.

Everybody has heard of the pigeons
which flock daily to the famous Square
of St. Marks, in Venice, to be fed, and
many Americans have no doubt seen
them resting upon the shoulders and
arms of the woman who dispenses their
daily bread to them. Many are the
stories told of their origin; how their an
cestors served the Republic by bringing
back news from its fleets, and so on; but
none Of them are very well established,
except that the birds have always been
regarded as town property, and have
been fed out Of fund set apart for that
purpose, which is now said to have been
donation from the Countess Poliorasto.
Until lately ii would have been thought
little less than sacrilege to touch feath-
er Of them, but recently Venetian boy
was discovered carrying off a pigeon, evi-
IDENTIFY with view to pie. The case was
carried into court, where it was decided
that the pigeons had never been legally
conveyed to the town, consequently they
were nobody's property, but, 50 to speasS,
wild fowl, and that boy was only follow
ing his natural instincts in catching
them, and must be acquitted.

ARothscnild AuIograph.

A sale of autographs at Frankfort-on-
the-Main recently brought to light a
letter from A. N. Rothschild, the 5oele-
brated founder Of the house of the same
name. The letter is addressed to q
Hessian minister and dated 1904. The
chirography has nothing remarkable in
it, but the sentiments expressed by the
great banker are worth quoting. They
are as follows, fully explaining them
selves: $50 his grand-ducal-highness is
not preparing for the paymentf 1t seems
that he believes that prince ia not
obliged to be exact in paying up; if that
were SO, 1 confess that, although l am
we'll satisfied in my humble
position, l should like to be prince
Tor one single day-the set
tlement day of the third week Of the
fair (the banker alludes either TO the
Leipzig or Frankfort fair of his time y
in order not to be obliged to pay. But
that is not the way that things are ar
ranged. Ihave to make my payments
exactly, even if it costs me everything
that I possess in the world. I hope,
therefore, that prince will be obliged to
do the same. II prince enjoyed such
immense privileges no one would be able
to exist. I assure you that the money
preserves my honor, and my honor is my
life. He who does not pay me back my
money takes away my honor" History
doubtless records the fact that the prince
paid up after this admonition. But the
autograph is dumb Oh the subject.

Test of Indian Courage.

An Indian intertribal fair was held,
not long ago, in Indian Territory, in or
der to show some of the results Of civil
izing the savages. A number of tribes
attended, and displayed articles Of home
manufacture, such as needlework, en-
broidery, lace work, and blankets. Many
of the Indians had their photographs
taken, and showed a childish delight in
looking at their faces. OTHERS, how
ever, could not be persuaded to go near
the camera. Yellow Bear, of the Ara
phoes, was the first to pass through the
ordeal of sitting. He suffered himself
to be properly seated, and the camera to
be brought to bear upon him.
But when the prepared plate was
placed in the box, and the cloth lifted,
he leaped to his feet with a bound, and
attempted to leave the tent. All at
tempts to reason with him failed. At
last a photograph Of a Cheyenne, taken
some years ago, was shown him. He
looked at it moment, then went quietly
back to his chair and sat there like a
statue while his negative was taken. He
explained that no Cheyenne warrior was
a greater brave than he. The gigantic
Osages, on the other hand, would not
approach the tent. They said the
camera robs them of their good spirits.
The Kickapoos gave the same reason,
and a photographer was peremptorily
ordered out Of their country on that
account. The Indian is profound be-
lever in the power of spirits for good or
evil, and takes care never to offend them.
