Brn. Ali. Sneezer, late one afternoon
Met Sheik Bak- Ganmon on old Horeb's mount
And thus he in the language OF the East,
His niultifarious hariships did recount:
. sheik, bow me in the dust and mourn,
For 10! while brow sing Oh the fertile plain,
Two OF my choicest heifers fair and fat
Were caught in limbo and were rudely slain
BY that Internal pest of recent birth,
The half past eight accommodation trainr
Then quoth the Shcik " One OF my whltest lambs
Which did soon propose to drive to town,
Whit. frisking DER the distant howery lea
Was nv that selfsnne fatal train run down.
Now. Ben-Ai! by the Prophets beard,
What ruined shepherd folk to dor
Suppose We take our troubles into court,
You swear for me. and will swear for you;
And SO. by mutual ontha it's possible
We may most hap'ly pull each other through"
Ben Ali Sneexer some months after met
The Sheik BAk- Cannon. and inclined to sport
Tile two sat down upon q cedar stump
To talk Of their experiences In court.
B.nAli quoth: " Them cows was thin as rails
Now that they re gone it's mighty glad ami"
BACKGAMMON said: Now that the Judgments paid
don't mind telling You that slaughtered lamb,
So far from being what you swors nj court,

lLMELY ADMONTTION.

Catholics throughout the United
States VIII read with interest the pasto-
raj letter of the Cincinnati Provincial
Council, a comprehensive synopsis of
which is given IN our kilograms this
morning. The spirit of the document,
as regards the power Of those in au-
thority, rulers and priests, is not new
doctrine III the Catholic church. She
has held and taught il for centuries,
and Its repetition now is doubtless with
d view Of stimulating the true Catholic
TO proper appreciation Of the obliga-
hons he has assumed In an age Of
revolutionary tendencies the admo-
milton Is not inappropriate. At
all events it is d matter between
the laymen and the priesthood,
and those outside the Catholic pale can
well afford to folbear criticism. The
passages touching labor Disturbances
and organizations are as significant as
they are practical. The authority OF
the church is interposed as a barrier
between wild, unbridled license and
the material interests OF society. The
teachings are on the side Of sociala
Industrial order and if they shall per
chance sink deep INTO the hearts OF the
Millions Of Catholics in this country the
Ultimate result wall be healthy and bene
ielal to society, The document merits
ne attention Of men of all beliefs.

TO THE TExAs CoNGREssMEN.

/ TO THE TEXAS CONGRESSMEN.
In behalf oi the general public, but
more especially the business portion
/ thereof, the ExANGyER desires TO call
the attention of the Texas delegation in
congress, and through them the post
Office department, to the continued inef-
ticiency Of the railway mail service in
Texas. To be more specific, we may
state that the chief grounds for COM
plant are the delays and Irregularities
IN the transmission of mails, resulting in
annoyance and very often detriment to
those who have occasion to use the
mails regularly This state of affairs is
not OF recent date. 1t was plainly
noticeable Is long ago as last October,
and mas gradually been growing worse
There were times when one could find
excuse for an imperfect iservice. 70
heavy rains Of the winter occasionally
iutegfered with the movement of trains,
and as d consequence the transmission
OF mails was affected. But when better
weather and regular trains was the
rule there has been no corresponding
improvement in the mail servio- Nor
are these complaints co,& one or
two sections Of the 3 IT two
railroad routes. They on all

people are perfectly willing to make
allowances for occasional seasons OF
bad weather, bnt the seasons of defect
i've mail service are too numerous-they
merge one into the ether and continue
indefinitely. We know there is certainly
a remedy for this state of affairs; We
know there must be responsibility some
where. Despairing of relief through
any other means-for complaints to
subordinate officials have not accom-
plished anythiug-we trust some mem
Der or members OF the delegation at
Washington viii bring the matter to the
attention Of the postofiice department
aud request an early and thorough inves-
tigation, by competent and reliable
agents, OF the condition and workings of
railway mail service in Texas We feel
sure that the necessity for and justice of
this request viii be conceded by the
press of the state as well as the general
public. The present management is
simply intolerable.
