Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman We would by
no means recommend any kind ofmedicine
which we did not know TO be good-partic-
ularly for infants. But of Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup we can speak from known
edge; in our own family it has proved a
blessing indeed, by giving al infant trou-
bled with collie pains, quiet sleep, and the
patents unbroken rest at night. Most pa
rents can appreciate these blessings. Here
Is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural, and
the little cherub wakes as bright as a but
ton" And during the process of teething,
its value Is incalculable. We have fire.

ATLANTA.

Correspondence of the Herald.
ATLANTA, TEXAS, June 20, 1SS2.-The COM
mencement exercises of Atlanta High
school closed last night, having lasted
three days, and having had vast audiences
comprising the best citizens of this and adj
joining counties. Our to wn presents an in
teresting appearance this week. Just here
| will explain that this school is under the
management of Professor NJ. V. Looney
and his estimable lady, who already enjoy
the reputation of being among the
most accomplished educators in the
state or elsewhere. The school build
ing has no equal in this part of
the country in size and adaptability, and
there never was a school that better united
the whole community in which 1t existed,
or where the teachers were more universal
ly popular. In short, We have the best
school in East Texas.
Hon. George T. Todd was chosen to de-
liver the address, which took place yester-
day before an immense audience. His sub
iect was Texas" and well was IL calculated
TO kindle the fires of patriotism in the
bosorls of all who have the honor to claim
Texas as their home, especially native Tex
ans, and TO elicit a feeling of pride and CON-
placency in view Of the grand future which
lies out before us.
We had several other speeches
in the afternoon, and everything
was a grand success, had il not been marred
By an unfortunate affair last night.
A drunken man, called DIR. Fears, who
recently came TO the state from Georgia,
got into n hack on the street belonging TO
the livery stable, which was already en-
gagged, aud demanded of tho driver 10 take
him home, several miles IN the country
The driver was a Mr.. Browning, son Of one
of our most respected citizens and one OF
Texas FIRST settlers. Young Browning re-
fused his unreasonable demand, and after
fixing his harness, stepped up into the hack
TO start, whereupon Fears stabbed him.

THE MOREY LETTER
I'm Mr. Dana's Possession Before 1t
Was Published.

The Truth newspaper to-day publishes
a statement that Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt
has finally been permitted by Mr.. Dana, the
editor of the Sun, to make declaration
that the Morey letter was first offered to
the Sun and declined by Mr.. Dana because
he believed it to be a forgery. This, the
Truth people think, relieves them from the
suspicion under which they have labored,
of having published the letter, knowing it
to be forged, or with having concocted it
themselves. Mr.. Hewitt has only
lately obtained Mr.. Dana's consent to make
the fact known that the letter was offered
to him.
In this connection Truth says to-day ed
itorially:
"Who offered the Morey letter to Mr..
Dana week before its publication in the
Truth?
ITO whom did he return it after his pc
rusal of it.
What were his reasons for believing it to
be forgery +?
Sooner or later the public will have to be
informed on these matters. Mr.. Dana has
it In his powcr to inform them at once.
"Mr. Dana must remember that this is
not question between individuals merely.
1t is a question of great public concern
one which has not only involved the char
acter and liberty of reputable men, but
has exercised tremendous influence in
our politics. Asa good citizen, he cannot
remain silent any longer. To him has
been traced the possession of the forgery,
by his own admission made to Mr. Hewitt.
"Where did he get it; what did he do with
it?

Mason's Hasty Removal.

The greatest indignation is expressed
oy lawyers and others on account of the
indecent haste in removing Sergeant John
Mason to the penitentiary before his coun.
sci had time to sue out his writ of habeas
corpus. The action of Gen. Ayres in this
matter, however, is only in keeping with
his past treatment of the poor, unfortunate
Sergeant. General Ayres martinez, etc, of
the United States Army, will probably
have occasion before long to regret ais
course toward Mason. 1t was he who CON-
PEELED the Sergeant 10 dwell for more than
100 days in dirty, vile, rat'infected cell
that would.have killed the average man in
less time than a month. 1t was only after
the exposure in THE CRITIC that Gen.
Ayres could be induced to repair Mason's
cell, and then it was only half done. The
General, however, lives in princely ele.
gance at the Arsenal in a house furnished
and equipped at the expense Of Uncle Sam,
and, of course, he wouldn't deign to lose
time in looking after the comfort Of a
common sergeant who has been guilty of
an offense against the laws of the Army Of
which he is an autocrat.
Gen. Sherman should send Gen. Ayres to
the far West. He would make q success
as am Indian fighter probably, but he can
hardly be called a success in these civilized
parts.

Regulating the Use of the Capitol

The bill which passed the Senate yesterday,
to regulate the use Of the Capitol grounds,

circumstances. 1t provides that public travel
in and occupancy of the Capitol grounds shall
be restricted to the roads, walks and places
prepared for the purpose by tagging, paving
or otherwise. IT is forbidden to occupy the
roads in such manner as to obstruct or hinder
their proper use, to drive violently upon

WALTER ID. PLowDEN, a colored man,
was charged in the Police Court to-day with
receiving an Illegal pension fee. The com.
plainant was colored man named Holmes,
who has been for several years living as a
pauper In this city while waiting for his PEN
sion. The evidence showed that Plowden had
interested himself In Holmes, borrowed money
for him, given him assistance of various kinds
and had also secured his pension. When
Holmes drew three hundred dollars Of pen
sion money, Mr.. Plowden suggested that he
should give him (Plowden) q sufficient amount
TO pay the money borrowed, and Holmes ina
mediately charged him with charging an IL
legal fee. The prosecuting attorney asked
that the case be dismissed, as Plowden was
evidently a benefactor instead OF an oppres-
cor, and the defendant was discharged.

saint Patrick's influence.

Written for THE EVENING CRITIC.
Tom Murphy was married to a rosy-cheeked
maid,
Great honor to the couple when married was
paid,
And presents and knick-knacks flowed in by the
The day these gallant young lovers were made
one.
"Here's pap cup for the fust bhoy " said
Sand a pair o. warum blankets is the prislnt
o. mOine,
TIL Tom asked what present his mother hal
"This, " said the old lazy, as she held up to
picture of Saint Patrick In frame bright
and new;
SITS thrue good luck for yez, she solemnly
said,
. AS long as its hung at the he'd OF yez bod"
Well, 10 curtail the story and round It on nice,
When the couple were settled as snug as two
mice,
The picture suspended over the bed on the
wall
Was placed, and never bit moved at all.
Tom Murphy was happy his life 1t was blessed;
BY none OF mans troubles was he often pressed,
TIL one day 1t behooyed him TO take the Saint
down,
And put up In Its place new picture from
town.
Many will doubt II and laugh when say,
That Murphy's luck changed for the worse
He drank and he got into debt, and all that,
And was pretty nigh thrown ON his back very
Hul.
He could not account for his miserable plight
TIL his little wife said, at their supper one
night:
"My dear you must stop IL and be a good lad ;
This change o. your luck has been frightfully
bad
We must change it-yes, change it-that too,

And again hang the picture of our blessed
Saint Pat;
Al the head OF our bed again II must go,
And a change for the better quite soon It Will
show.
Put II back, Tom, for thrue for ye ri say,
Yen ind II Will bring ye much brighter
day"
Tom did as requested; the old. Patron Saint
Was hung up again, all gilt, color and paint;
And soon IL was seen that Tom had returned
From his path of debauch like q brand that
had burned
And he fourlshed and prospered, and happy
was he.
As happy, indeed, as a man cares TO be,
And always believed In the one idea, that
II was due to The picture OF the worshiped

Proceedings.


At the afternoon session Of the National To
bacco Association, ye sterday, Mr.. T. n. Spence,
of Cincinnati, from tho committee on memo.
rial to Congress, made report, which was
adopted, The memorial protests against tho
passage Of the" leaf tobacco bill. 1t asserts
that the removal OF the tax on leaf tobacco
without corresponding relief to tobacco manu-
facturers, would amount to practical confls-
cation Of the capital Invested by the latter in
their business, and would, in addition, de-
privc thousands OF operatives of employment.
1t concludes with an earnest appeal TO Con-
grees to make no change In the law relating to
the sale OF leaf tobacco, unless IL Is roady 10
abolish the entire tax and mike the tranic In,
and sale OF, tobacco as free as are those OF
other commodities.
II was then decided to order the printing of
5,CO0 copies OF the memorial.
Mr.. Seidler, OF Jersey City, offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted;
Resofrcd, That II is the sense of this associa-
tion that the proposition now pending before
Congress to allow rum and other distilled
spirits to be Withdrawn FREQ OF taxation for
use In the manufacture OF tobacco and other
industries is n measure which meets with tho
hearty concurrence and support of this body.

pointed 10 Investigate tho subject, reported q
resolution advocating the repeal OF the export
10cent stamp law, and urging a modification
OF the prohibitions relating TO the export of

adopted.
After the transaction OF some unimportant
business the convention adjourned until to-

proposed reduction OF the tobacco tax and to

WHEN all with one accord give spon-

to merit it, and we are heartily glad of the
generosity which does not hesitate TO give
a good article its due need of praise. Mr..

paTations (among which was a remedy pre-
scribed by a physician,) all without re.
