THE DYING CONVOY.


THE DYING COWBOY.
This is 9 fearful hard
Death 70 die, boys.
Away from home and
Friends and Joys
Ofmy youth What would
Ny poor mother say
II she saw the couch
Wheroon her son lay
Simply waiting for
The delirium Of fever
To carry him away
Say. boys. II ever
A man had q good
Fond mother. l had.
Twas INDUCED and coaxed,
But would be bak.
1 didn't listen TO her
Words then, but how
They do crowd fast
Upon my poor brow.
I'm sorry I'm such trouble
To you. dear pard.
You've been faithful
And labored hard
To kill hat fever.
It's rough on us all
That a doctor is no neal
Enough to call.
The nearest one's just
Two hundred miles OF,
And the III that wants him
Is worse'n a cough
Oh, do give me another
Drink OF that pail
or spring water. Thank you.
II / didn't all
I'd not trouble you. boys,
You can bet on that.
oh. terrori my headi
1t feels as II 'twould burst,
And she - boys,
I'd go II l burst.
I'd go straight back
To the Keystone State
And see her. But
No; it's too late.
Deaths got good grip
On me this time.
And III surely die
In Wyoming's cline.
Well, I wouldn't care. boys,
II only She
But, say boys. won't you
Send this for mes
Tell her-It's her picture.
You see-I'd not part
18th 1t now for it's
Been nigh my heart
For three years past.
But you'll send IL
Won't you. Say to her
My dying prayers attend II.
Her promise-Well.
My.death will relieve
Her OF that.
Tell her to receive
II with the same love
As when twas given,
For the giver now

My mother. sisters
I've no father now
He died with weight
or sorrow on his brow,
For his Maynard SON
That's me. you see
But no matter.
He's long since gone
The road to death,
And I'm following on.
Say tony mother. boys,
That ! died good.
1t will comfort her
70 know l could
AT the eleventh hour
Pray for grace,
Which makes IL easier
To leave this place
For a ranch above.
Unconscious grew the patient,
And In the glowing suns set red,
The soul ofthe dying cowboy,
From Its clayey mansion fed.

Trichin@ In Hoboken.
N. Y. Express. I

N. Y. Express.
Adolph Bornholz, whose wife died in
Hoboken from the effects of trichinosis, is
in fair way to recover. DIR. Kudlich, who
attended both parties, says that the mans
strong and excellent Constitution is in his
favor. If person attacked by the disease
has strength enough to withstand its
weakening effects for some days, the proba-
bilities of recovery are good, as each minute
worm, when in living human tissue, speed
lily becomes incased in a hard shell and dies.
1t is only in the tissues of the hog that the
trichinse increase and multiply, and they
reproduce their millions in pork, whether
the animal be dead or alive. The prostra-
ton consequent upon the shock caused by
the death of his wife has made BornholZ's
condition more precarious than it would
otherwise have been. The people of Hobo
ken are greatly excited over the case. The
Germans emphatically denounce the state
ment that Mrs. Bornholz's death was caused
by eating imported Bologna sausage. They
aver that the impaired sausage is so
thoroughly smoked and cured that all par
asitIc life, If any exists in it, must be effect
ualiy destroyed. They claim that Mrs.
Bornholz died from the effects of eating
raw ham which her husband had bought at
q neighboring grocery store. There Is
among the Americans and other citizens
who are not Germans general swearing OF
from pork

AT the Spring opening Of fashion
able French millinery establishment in
New York last week, the following we're
among the novelties in ladies' bonnets
and hats:
One of these is the flower bonnet,
which is very popular in Paris and New
York, and is coming into the favor even
Of quiet Boston tastes. A flower bon
net shown was composed entirely of
roses, with an edge of mignonette :
steel lace bordered the hat, and long
wide ties Of Acier lace completed it.
Another was composed Of lilacs with
chenille lace strings and border.
An exquisite dress hat was Of white
iridescent beads over lace the crown
Of Italian Surah ivory shaded pompons,
and strings of ivory satin. A hat of
iet-embroidered lace over white lace.
with long white lace strings and white
marrabout plume. made a dainty opera
hat.
4 large leghorn braid was shown,
edged with wide old-gold Spanish lace
turned over the brim delicate lace
plated on the inner brim; and hand Of
old gold satin passing round, and three
magnificent ostrlch plumes, shading
from cream to old gold, formed the de-
eoration.
4 large leghorn hat, with steel-lace
garniture and Tlleue collored strings Of
Italian Surah, was noted. A knot Of
daisies and rosebuds loopel the strings
at the back.
v 4 bonnet that is known in New York
as the ''Boston bonnet" On account Of
its soft crown and quiet tones, was
shown in steel and cream color, with
shaded plume and ties to match,
A novelty, and one destined to be
very popular, i the hat whose strings
are composed Of flowers. A Tuscan
braid was decorated with wreath Of
shaded roses that diminished into buds
for the strings, forming trailing loop
at the back.
A hghorn poke. trimmed with ex-
quisite straw flowers, and oats linked
hy steel, was one of the most poetic and
picturesque hats Of the season.
Another was noted of gilt netting
crown, a wreath of chrysantheums,
steel pompon, and fancy plaid Surah for
strings.
There is a charming individuality in
these hats. no two being in the least
alike; yet all equally harmonious and
effective in style.

German Emigration.

Berlin Dispatch to the London Times.
The German stream of emigration now
so actively going on is visible at Havre as
we'll as at Bremen and Hamburg, where the
competition of two companies has led to
considerably reduced fares, eighty marks
per head,) but many emigrants take the
Hull or Liverpool route, possibly to lull the
vigilance of German officials bent on
preventing the escape of young men nearly
ripe for the CONSUMPTION From Posen the
departures are numerous, mostly Poles,
but partly German peasants. In Schleswig
the movement has been going on all the
winter, and is not slackening. Whole vii
lagos are described by local papers as mi
grating from Posen, Prussia Proper, and
Schleswig. Illinois and Nebraka are the
favorite destination; but German Social
list colony is being founded in Texas, to be
reinforced by Germans from St. Louis,
Chicago and New York. The exodus is
quite spontaneous, being largely attributa-
bic to the failure of the rye crop and the
heavy duties on the importation of Russian
rye. American States would fain compete
with each other in bidding for the prefer
ence, but their agents scarcely venture to
operate on German SOIL the American
legation at Berlin warning them that it
could not help them if they got into trouble
with the authorities. 1t appears, however,
that the precautions against the exodus of
young men have relaxed in stringency in
South Germany, though both there and
elsewhere the distractions to the diposal of
property to the best advantage give emf
grafton to America the attraction of for
hidden fruit. The failure Of the Brazilian
scheme, countenanced, if not subsidized, by
the German government, has been complete,
and the government is evidently fighting
against the stream in attempting either to
restrain emigration or to divert it from the
United States.

A WARNING TO GIRLS WHO INDULGE Toe
MUCH IN THAT VIOLENT PAsTIME.
"D.ed from congestion of the brain
caused by jumping the rope" was the
cause of death certified by DIR. Felix horde
mann, of 242 East Twelfth street, in the
case of Rachel Ducewyds aged five and a
half years, of 81 Bayard street, who was
buried yesterday. The parents are in COM
Portable circumstances. The faher keeps a
fancy goods store in the Bowery. Little
Rachel was one of seven healthy children.
She was a bright, pretty child, and great
favorite with her companions. She was
very fond of jumping the rope. \ little
girl who played much with her said yester-
day Rachel would always jump as long
as she could. Sometimes she would jump
as many as hundred, and then she would
have to sit down, she would be so tired
She always wanted to "come in" as often as
any of US were jumping. We used to try
and get her to sit down and look at US, but
she would not rest al long as she could
jump"
Another of RachePs little companions
said ''She used to be very fond OF jump.

Appeal for the Protestant Orphan Asylu
at NatcheZ.
GRAND sEcRETARY's OFFICE

GRAND SEcRETARY's OFFICE, /
JACKSON, Miss, April 18th, 1881.
To the WorshiPtd Masters Of Lodges:
beg leave to call your attention to the
following resolution adopted by the Grand
Lodge, at its recent Annual Communica.
ton
Resol0ed, I'd, That in-order to supplement
this amount with sum sufficient to insure
the relief needed, the Worshipful Masters OF
Subordinate Lodges in this Grand Jurisdic-
tion, be urgently requested to ask contri-
buttons from the members of their respec-
tive Lodges; and when collected forward
same to the Grand Secretary, who shall
transmit the amounts as received to the
proper officers of the Natchez Protestant
Orphan Asylum.
And to suggest that you bring the matter
before your Lodge at its next meeting.
A detailed statement of the management
and expenses of the Asylum will be found
in the reports of it's Secretary and Treasu-
rer, on pages IS and 50 of proceedings, and
in the able report of the special committee,
on pages 81 and SO. The Asylum has been
in existence since 1876; is now caring for
about forty orphans, several of whom are
known to be the children of Masons. The
Lady Managers have expressed to the Grand
X
edgements. in which they state that but for
the timely intervention Of the Masons of
Mississippi "this home of the orphans of the
State would numbered among the things
of the past, inasmuch as their treasury was
exhausted, and all other resources having
failed them
The expenses of the Asylum for 1880,
amounted to q, 546 13, a little more than
$500 90 per month. Towards its support
in 1881, the Grand Lodge appropriated
$500 90, and the Masonic Bodies in Natchez
will give their usual contribution. Other
contributions will be made as the Father of
the fatherless may move the hearts and
pockets of the generous and charitable. It
would be an honor to Masonry, and would
be recorded to lis credit on High, if we
would guarantee these orphans support for
a certain number of years. Perhaps your
Lodge would be willing to subscribe s. 90
to $25 90 year, for five years, payable semi
annually, or otherwise, as might be most
convenient. Perhaps there are Individual
members, or citizens of your community, not
Masons, who might be willing so to do. But
Ia any shape, or for any period, the help OF
the brethren is most earnestly asked, and will
be promptly acknowledged. All contribu-
tions should be sent to the undersigned, in
order that detailed report of same may be
made to the next Grand Communication,
and they will be acknowledged by me, and
also by Mrs Fleming, Treasurer of the
Asylum.
Fraternally yours,
j. L. POWER,
Grand Secretary.
