In its walls, are more like romance
than reality, but they are too well
authenticated to leave any room
to doubt. A few important points
will be noticed, and for an elabo-
rate description the reader is re-
ferrcd to n sketch written by A.
IIarman. The Wardens Of the
Tower are all old soldiers, who
have distinguished themselves in
their country's service. They all
wear from two to three medals,
which they have won for their
gallantry. ! approached one Of
them and asked him how he had
been so fortunate as to obtain
three medals. With a good deal
Of animation and pride, he told
me, (his wife meanwhile standing
by his side) rejoicing in the honors
conferred upon him. | told him
| had been a soldier myself. His
countenance beamed with delight,
and when he gave me a hearty
shake Of the hand passed on and
was met by guide who conducted
me within the inner walls. Among
the places pointed out is where
Annie Boleyn was executed; the
dungeon where Sir Walter Raleigh
was imprisoned ;the Traitors gate !;
the steps under which the bones Of
Edwards's children were found /;
the prison lodging Of Lady Jane
Gray the room in which Queen
Elizabeth was once imprisoned.
In the Tower is an immense
museum. Also, thirty thousand
stands Of arms. The crown jewels
are kept in separate room, and
make magnificent display.
Their value is four and half mil
lion pounds. | will close this
meagre description OF the Tower
with a quotation from Harman's
sketch:
"The records Of the prisoners
will close with a notice Of the spot
where the bodies Of so many Of
them are even now mouldering in
the dust. The present chapel was
erected. in I772. 1t is devoid OF
ornament, but the simple structure
contains that which awakens
thoughts Of deep and solemn in
terest. Here rests the beloved
Lady Jane, and with her many
less exealted, but perhaps, not less
worthy martyrs.
"IIere lies Thomas Crom-
well, the noble Earl OF Surry the
good Duke Of Somerset; the bril-
liant Deyereux, Earl Of Essex, the
place where once lay the body Of
Sir Thomas Moore, combine to
teach that the loftiest talents, the
most exalted virtues are no secu-
rity against the loss Of fame, Of
liberty and life. And the once
lovely Queens who also moulder
in these vaults, give the same
warning respecting woman's beau
ty and attractive grace"

Death Of Capt. ]. M, Williams,

Atelegram was received here
Sunday announcing the death
of this geetleman on Saturday
at Burdett's Wells, near Luling.
Capt. Williams had been in bad
health for some months, the
immediate cause of his death
being Bright's disease of the
kidneys. He was one of our
bert known and wealthiest citi-
zens and was a delegate from
this county to the Dallas con-
vention and always took a lively
interest in all public affairs. He
came to this county shortly af-
ter the close of the war from his
home at or near Mansfield, La,
setting near independence
where he married a very es-
temiable lady, who with four
children, two boys and two
girls, survives him. His age was
43 years. The remains of Capt.
Williams arrived here on Mon
day at noon and were taken to
Independence, near which
place he lived, for burial.

SAD AccIDENr.-Last Mon
daya Mr.. Philips, a tenant on
the. Williams plantation three
miles south of Independence,
whose wife had gone to visit a
sick neighbor, took his six
year old son out in the cotton
field to help him pick. The
little fellow tired and went back
to the house by himself. 1t
seems that he went to the cot
ton shed where there was a large
pile of seed cotton and to
amuse himself he dug a deep
hole in the yielding material,
into this hole he fell head fore
most and was unable to extrl-
cate himself. AT dinner time
Mr.. Phillips returned with a bag
of cotton for the purpose OF
emptying it in the seed house
and to his CONSERVATION dis
covered the feet of his darling
boy and only child sticking up
out of the cotton. He at once
pulled him out but life was ex-
tinct. Justice Willie held an
inquest, the jury returning a
verdict in accordance with the
facts. The grief of the stricken
mother is said to have been
heartrendering.

For the Grand Jury.

A few months ago the county
clerk furnished the county
treasurer with a list Of the
names OF the parties fined in
the county court, since and in
GLIDING the year 1876, together
with the amount Of the fines
and a statement Of those who
have paid. The list for 1876 is
the only one footed up; it shows
that $40 was collected and
| that the sum Of SI225 is yet
due and uncollected. For the
years 1880 and So-I, the
amount due is fully as large for
each year as 1876, a few, very
few OF the fines have been paid,
and some of those collected
have not yet found their way
into the hands Of the county
treasurer. AT a rough estimate
their is due the county in fines
imposed in the county and
magistrates courts between
$4,000 and $1,000. The clerk
of the district court has made
no report to the treasurer as
yet, but probably will before
the next regular meeting of the
commissioner court. The
county has been put to enor-
nous expense in the way of
jury fees and other costs which
honest tax payers have paid
while the criminals have vir-
tually escaped scot free, so far
at all events. This matter, we
think, comes within the scope
of investigation by the grand
jury and should be thoroughly
investigated by them. The ex-
penses for maintaining the
courts are more than all the 9TH
er expenses Of the county, and
the criminals should be made
pay.

Correct Figures,

County treasurer Minkwitz
on Tuesday added up the sums
on the list of fines furnished
him by the county clerk. Here
is the figures: Amount Of fines
imposed from Ausust 9Th, 1876,
to March 18th, 1881, S5,8S3.4o,
of this amount there has been
collected by various officers the
sum of S47I of which $3.50 ap-
pears as having been paid over
to the county treasurer, leaving
SII2 in the hands Of the officers
collecting the same. The total
balance due the county on fines
is S5,4I2.4o. Here we have a
showing which should open the
eyes of our tax payers. Of all
the fines imposed in the county
during a term of FIVE years only
the pitiful sum Of SAT-, or not
quite one hundred dollars per
year, has been collected. In
this connection a statement Of
the amount paid out for jury
fees would be very interesting
to the tax payers. 1t has often
been remarked that justice as
administered in many counties
is a farce. In this particular
case the wrong doors have not
suffered to any material extent
unless they have paid the Off
GERS costs. But ifthe tax pay
ers will feel their pockets they
will no doubt discover a trifiing
lightness. 1t would cost a great
deal less to run a cheap dramat-
ic entertainment for the time
the court sits trying criminal
cases. tits time a reformation
was being made. We do NOT
pretend to locate the blame in
this court business, but simply
present the figures; the public
can form its own conclusions.
