Robert Josselyn:

The late Capt Robert Josselyn,
whose death we recently recorded,
calls for something more than a pass
ing notice. He was native of Mas,
sachusetts; came to Virginia at the
age of 10, went to Mississippi in 1886,
where he became a member of the
Legislature, volunteered in jeff. Davis
regiment in the Mexican war, and
subsequently held many official posi-
tions. On the opening of the civil
war he was appointed private secretary
to Davis. After the war practiced
law ut Shreveport, La, for about a
year, then came to Austin, Texas, and
edited the old State Gazette, then ed
tied the Dallas Herald about a year,
and afterwards the Statesman at Aus
tin. At the time of his death he was
executive clerk to Governor Ireland
He would have been 70 in December
Capt Josselyn was man OF varied
and brilliant gifts, but unassuming in
disposition and taste, he never
reached that position before the
world to which his talents entitled
him. He will probably be longest
remembered for his literary labors,
and especially some of his poetic ef-
forts He ublished volume OF po-
ems at Boston in 1848, a satire on
the times at st. Louis, and the Go
quette," a drama, at Austin, both
since the war. Besides these various
short poems for the press, North and
South, many of which have been set
to music, "The Faded Flower" "The
Last Tear I Shed,' "The Young
Widow" and 'My Girl with the Cali
co Dress" have kept their place in the
newspapers ever since their publica-
ton, thirty or forty years ago.

"Take care of my Civil Rights
Bill" says the Evansville journal,
"woro the dying words Of Charles
Sumner" and adds; "Ihey would
make an excellent rallying cry for the
Republicans. The Journal probably
falls into the common error OF sup
posing that it was Summers bill upon
which the Supreme Court recently
passed The bill drafted by him new
or found its way out of the commit
tee.room, and the law which was
declared unconstitutional was really
the work of Gen. Butler, at whom
the Republicans are just now direct
ing sundry hard words. Remember
ing how Sumner was abused by the
just before his death, it
would be interesting to hear them
using his dying words, on any sub
iect, as rallying cry.

That "Gauzy" Scare.

Squire Coke, who started the re-
port of the negro rising at Cause,
has thereby obtained a most unenvia-
BILE reputation. A correspondent
writing from Milano Junction thus
gives one of the results of his foolish,
not to say criminal performance:
One of the results from the recent
reports of the negro uprising has de-
veloped itself with the most sorrow.
full results. A Mrs. Morris, widow
lady. and niece of DR.. Wooten, of
Cameron, living five or six miles
north of Cameron, early Monday
morning, with her little child, was
walking in the yard near her home,
and observing several white men with
guns passing by, grabbed her child
and fled to the woods. Her brother
when calling at her house, discovered
her absence a short time afterwards,
and being unable to learn OF her
whereabouts, came to Cameron and
secured large force of men, who
secured the country for miles, and at
last, falling upon her, trail, found her
at late hour Tuesday night about
eight miles from home, and after one
night and two days exposure, she was
brought to Cameron almost a raving
maniac, continually crying for help
from the negroes, who she claims
are surrounding her in large num-
bers.
The excitement has entirely subsid-
ed in this vicinity, and great indigna-
ton is felt toward the perpetrator of
such false and groundless report as
WAS telegraphed all over the state
from the neighboring town of Cause.

How to Bald a Stone or Brick Hvuse
In San Marcos.

IN Gan hhrcONs
EpIroR FREE Pass: The cracking
of the solid buildings In town, is
caused mainly, when in dry seasons,
the rod clay underlying the black
soil. contracts and consequently
cracks to the depth of from 20 to 40 IT.
Solid walls standing over those cracks,
open according as those cracks in the
ground widen. The hog wallows OF
Texas are caused by those ground
cracks, and by the deepness of the
hog -wallows, the depth of the red
clay can be determined. In a sue
cession of extreme dry years, the hog
wallow lands, which are now made
level by many years cultivation, may
resolve into hog-wallows again. Ac-
cording to width Of those cracks, be-
tween extreme wet and extreme dry
seasons, the height of the surface OF
hog wallow lands, varies about five
inches. The sudden decline of the
San Marcos River in different places
last summer. and old Mexican records
that the Sun Marcos dried up entire,
some distance below here, can only
be accounted for by assuming that
some of these dry-weather cracks
tapped the river.
The difficulty Of the cracking OF
solid houses in town, may be avoided
by digging the foundation to the
common depth, placing solid cedar
slabs in the bottom, building on them
and keeping clear of the red clay
wall. By placing heavy boulders in
to or against the red clay, as is done
at the courthouse, the pressure OF the
clay against the boulders, causes the
wall to slip and burst above the &C.
dar, and in such case, the cedar is
more injury than benefit to the build
ing. The defective houses in town,
can be protected from further dam
age, when in extreme dry seasons the
ground around their foundations is
flooded with a copious supply of wa
ter. G.. VoaELsANa.

The Old Ticket.
lFio the Cincinnati Enquirer.]


The political tide is in favor of the
Democracy, and the development OF
many presidential qualities within the
party is one of the promising signs OF
a much-needed change in control OF
the government. Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and New York abound
in craftsmanship fit for the consider.
alton of the next Democratic national
convention, and other states, less con-
spicuous in recent political encoun-
tiers, have material which will be
ready on short notice.
It doesn't require moment OF re-
Election to name a dozen Democrats
pre-eminent in the thoughts of the
people-men who have been tried,
and any one of whom would command
the united support of the Democracy
of the Union, with the possible ex-
ception of the metropolis which has
so frequently given trouble. Thur
man, Mcdonald, Randall, Cleveland,
Hoadley, Hendricks, Hancock, Payne,
Jewett, &c, is q list imposing and in
viting; but it is a fact, ilnpressively
illustrating the demand of the Amer
lean people for fair play, that no tick
ct has been suggested which appeals
more earnestly to the Democratic
sense of justice, and which meets with
greater enthusiasm, than the old tick
ct of 1876, Tilden and Hendricks.
The "old ticket" has spontaneous
strength which is almost marvellous
and the time is past for treating it
lightly or putting it down with sneers.
No organization in It's behalf is visi
BILE, but still it has power with the
people. With the brilliant prospect
of Democratic victory next year
comes a renewal of the disposition to
vlndicate the men who were elected
in 1876, but were cheated out OF
their office. While the question OF
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency is, of course, still an open
one, the movement toward the sage
of Greystone and the favorite son OF
Indiana has acquired snch strength
that the knowing politicians have
quit shaking their heads and saying
that 1850 was the time for indicating
Tilden and Hendricks, and, that the
time having passed, they can hope
for nothing.
The fraud still rankles in the
breasts of the people. The
failure to elect the Democratic can
didates in 1880, by narrow margin
did not help to soften the Democrat
ic heart 10 the national rascality OF
four years before. The "old ticket
appears 10 be stronger now than n
was seven months before the Demo
cratic national convention of 1850
