at the rate Of $40 per month, inclusive Of

intention to limit as strictly as possible the

the number Of single men Who in the steamer

A Story of the War.

"Gath," in letter to the New York
Tribune, gives an interesting account OF
a meeting between two heroes, each
Of whom supposed the other to be
dead. He says:
''The ex-General Gordon told me an
interesting story about two interviews
he held with General Barlow. At
Sharpsburg Barlow was apparently
mortally wounded and Iell into Cor
don's hands. / Gordon took liking to
him and asked if he could do some
thing for Barlow.
II think not, general" said the
young man. 81 shall be buried here,
no doubt. I do. not expect to live.
But you can do one thing for me.
Here is package Of letters from my
wife, which wish you to destroy be-
fore my eyes"
Gordon, who was young man also,
took the letters and was about to de-
stroy them when Barlow, with bub-
BILE at his throat, murmured: "Would
you take the trouble to read me one
of them first? Any one will do.'
Gordon opened one Of the letters and
read it to the dying man-his last friendly
words, perhaps, from home. Then the
letters we're destroyed. But the Incl.
dent touched Gordon SO that he made a
special exertion to have Barlow. sent
through the lines or to have his wife ad-
mitted to him. This being done the two
armies fell apart and these men saw each
other no more. Gordon considered
Barlow to be dead. Barlow had also
seen that General Gordon had been
killed somewhere. They met again ut a
friendly table in Washington, but did
not know each other, through the
changes of time.
After some lapse Gordon said: Genera
Barlow, are you relative of that Bar
low who was killed at Antietam?" mo-
said the General, 81 am the same man
"Are you any relative, /" inquired Barlow
in turn, "of that General Gordon who
was recently killed on the Confederate
ide?" "That was my cousin; am
John B. Gordon" Then at the re
quest of the persons who overheard
Barlow told the tale. amid tears anc
emotion on every side.

LAWYERS AS DEMOCRATS.

One of the professional qualities of a Texas
lawyer seems to be his political adherence to
the Democratic party. AS fast as young law
yers are ground out they appear in the cities
and towns and at the Crossroads as full
fled ed Democratic statesmen. In fact Dem
ocratic politics seem to be a necessary quali6-
cation of Texas lawyer. The lawyers come
to the front on all occasions, and it does not
require standing at the bar to place the
limb of the law upon the highest pinnacle in
the civil service of the State. He becomes
the maker Of the laws in our Legislature, no
matter how brieiess he may be at his place of
residence, and upon his ability to talk de-
ponds the very life of the Democratic party
The lawyer must accustom himself to look
upon both sides of question; ne defends the
thief and the murderer or prosecutcs, as the
case may be, with zeal that carries the con-
viction that he is earnest in his belief in the
Justice Of his cause. We can't but think that
in choosing the ID emocratic party as a client
the Democratic bar are divided in actual con-
victions, and that there are hundreds Of the
fraternity that look upon the cause as they do
their clients in the dock.
Times are changing A hundred thousand
men in Texas recorded their protest at the
last election against the Democratic party.
| They represent over half a million souls.
The field of politics is widening to the pro-
fession, and we may expect new workers re-
cruted from the ranks of the profession in the
opposition.
Even our large corporations, who have
studied their interests heretofore in the choice
OF attorneys by selecting prominent Dem :
cratic lawyers, will begin to find out that jur S
are becoming color blind as to the politics OF
the attorney who blows hot and cold in their
presence.
We have great hopes in the future for the
bar. Time, circumstances, new population,
the death OF political prejudice will induce
many men who seek the bar for fame and
fortune TO cast their lot with our growing
minority.
