THE Ireland BOON.

The boom which few weeks ago seemed
about to envelop the entire state and place
John Ireland in the gubernatorial chair, seems
to have about collapsed, and a retroprade
movement is in progress. The Office of gov
ernor OF Texas seems to be going a begging,
and the fact that among the numerous worthy
and talented politicians in the state, only one
of them aspires to be governor, is an anomal-
Gus condition Of political affairs. Many men
who threw up their hats and shouted for Ire
land in the early summer have lost most of
their enthusiasm, and when questioned upon
the matter. answer in bated breath that Gre
land seems to have the pole" but express no
qualification with the situation. The fact that
he seems opposed to the policy of Governor
Roberts has had the effect Of antagonizinp the
friends Of the governor. who still exert a no
inconsiderable influence in the politics of the
state. Were his own supporters enthusiastic,
it would overcome this influence, but such is
not the case. If Ireland becomes governor, il
will be by default. Such nomination could
not expect to arouse any enthusiasm on the
part Of the democracy of Texas = fort Worth

A Man falls and Breaks his Neck

A man named Mike Twohig painter by
trade, at work on the two story building being
erected by Albert Maverick on Houston street,
about noon to-day fell from tree on the pre-
misses and was instantly killed. 1t seems that
he climbed the tree to take down a rope swim
and rotten limb broke under him and he fell
head first striking fence; he died in ten min
utes; DR.. Hadra upon casual examination,
declared his neck broken. The man was 90,
had recently married young wife, and claimed
to be nephew of banker Twohigg. Justice

The GREAT drama that opened with the
overthrow ofroyalty in France near a century
ago, embracing the rise, wonderful career and
fall of the most extraordinary man the world
has known in ancient or modern times; and the
final extinction of his race a year ago by
band OF Zulu savages, was finally closed by
the French deputies on Wednesday. The
chamber passed bill by vote of Gas to 90
to sell the crown jewels and apply the proceeds
to the fund for disabled artizans. The 90, we
suppose, represented the speckled band OF
Bourbons, Napoleonists, and other effete fac
tons, the only remains in France of the enc
mics of free government. This act ends the
eventful history; and, in France, the curtain
falls forever on those transparent shams that
have kept the world lin bloody and cruel
bondage through SO many fearful centuries.
Now, if it could be relieved of some other
equally transparent and cruel but less bloody
shams. it might put on its morning cap and
consider the night gone.

A MEMORY OF OLD TIMES NORTH.

Just 50 years ago the Utica and Syracuse
railroad was the only one in New York, and,
beyond Utica, to get to the capital of Madison
county required 90 miles of stage travel, which
was done at 10 miles an hour. In 1894 the
Chenango canal was in process of excavation.
But Improvements of every kind were wholly
unknown, and the ring of the woodlands axe
in the primeval forests of that section was as
familiar as the croak Of the bull frog in its
ponds.
In our boy days we strolled thither to make
out summer, and at the village of Johnson
vile, so-called from John Egerton who kept a
store, and had first settled in the forest that
had covered all that vicinity for many miles,
we found country tavern, where the cream
of good living would bring blush to the
brazen cheeks Of hotel magnates in our great
cities. Three months of rural delights are now
venerable memory, in which we exult stead
NY since we are grown old and crotchety. We
had occupied the tavern from June, and in
September the chill airs of autumn began
blowing into our thought the idea of de-
Parture. And in that interest we gathered
our traps together and prepared for fight.
Well, three months seemed long life of Sc
clusion to youngster, and with all the money
we had brought, which had lain untouched in
an apartment of our old-fashioned trunk, we
prepared to pay up charges in city fashion.
During the three months, recreation had been
enjoyed without oyer, or mention, of money of
any sort, or denomination. So to our host.
the identical Bonface, we indicated our wish
to pay and depart. In about "a hours a bill
was furnished of the impressive amount of
SI4. Goodness Gracious!" we exclaimed
accustomed only to city charges, you do not
mean this for the bill for three mouths boards'
We were told yes, and that it was full payment
and enough, too. More was refused, and the
utmost we were permitted to do was to dis.
charge that demand. In the exuberance of
youth we had chartered horse from Uncle
John' and appropriated mornings and after
moons throughout the three months to delight
in the saddle. He was fine creature, one of
several in Mr.. Egerton's stable. One he fed
and groomed himself. Well, Uncle John
would receive but SIS for the three months
equestrianism. Protest was again fruitless, so
we tipped the ready while being assured with
much sincerity that it was "all the critter was
WORTH" Since that day half century of rush
has, no doubt spoiled everything in the vi
clnity OF Johnsonville. Perhaps it has a
grander name. And, unquestionably, railroad
termini converge and diverge in and around
the little village, and every thing is on the fast
plan ofgreat places where all is blaze, and de-
light is only memory.

A CROWS CONCERT.-On a tract of tim
ber on AllOway's Creek Neck, few miles
from Salem, Nj, belonging to Thos Shands,
is a crows roOst. which is the wonder OF the
neigborhood. \ small crow TOOst was found
several winters ago in the tract, and it kept
growing, until it now comprises family OF
several thousand. The music by the crows
is not only superior TO any ever heard from
the throats of crows by Od-time residents,
but bv some sort of understanding among
the musicians, there is no cessation OF the
music The rOost seems to be divided into
two companies. one Of which MARBLES during
the DAYTIME and the other at night-while
one half are asleep the other half keep up
the concert. Then they alternate. For three
weeks have these crows kept up their orderly
method of warhling, and the noise has not
ceased for moment. Yet it is lot disagree
able and the ol0 women say that they coulc
not 90 to sleep without the sound of the
crows in their eals. a certain number of the
crows go on fora ging expedition every day,
