AsHINeToN LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 5, 'S3.
Another decision by the Secretary
of the interior in favor of land
grant railroad recalls the words Of
Mr.. Henry George some years ago,
that "the government must own the
railroads OF the railroads will own
the government" The people are
going to find out one Of these days
that this is true. The case just deci-
ded by Secretary Teller is upon the
application of the Central Pacific
railway for patents to certain lands
belonging to the original grant, but
forfeited by the failure ofthe compa-
ny to complete its line within the
time specified. In similar case the
Supreme court decided that the pro-
visions for the completion of the road
within a certain time was condi-
ton subsequent; that although the
time for building the road had ex'
pired, the grant remained unim'
paired, and the land did not and
could not revert without the inter
vention oflegislative or judicial ac'
ton, and without such action no eff
feet whatever could be given to thu
forfeiture clause. The Secretar.
says that, in view of this decision
which was made more than cigh
years ago, and has often been reaf
firmed, and to the further fact tina
although the attention of Congress
has been repeatedly called TO tn
effect of the decision and no actor
has been taken by that body, il mus
be presumed that Congress intend
that the land grant companies shal
have the benefit of the decision; tina
at all events his action as an execu
tive officer must be controlled by tn

DIED.

DIR. SAKE II. Fuqua, at Plano, Col
lin county Texas, aged 3S, on the 22d
of May, 1883.
All that is mortal of this Christian
gentleman was placed on the follow
ing day in the cemetery of Plano,
alongside those he knew not, and
with only a few of whom he had
shared the joys and sorrows of life.
The funeral was largely attended,
and the pastor of the Baptist church,
his warm personal friend, spoke
beautifully of his moral worth and
manly character. In that large au-
dience there were missing all of his
brothers and sisters. who were living
in distant States, of all that were
near and dear to him, only wife
and child were present to bear the
brunt of so grave and heavy an afilic-
ton. We are charged to speak moth
ing but good Of the dead, and l
doubt the merit of the maxim. But
If the maxim is wise the life and
character of DIR. Fuqua were such
that we would not invoke the
shield which an observance of the
maxim might afford. This man, so
recently borne to the grave, was hon
est, simple of habit, and to the last
loving his fellow man, and sowing
the seeds of his humanity he was a
manly man, and neither in his public
nor private life did he do or sanction
that which tended to blur the line
that marks the boundary between
right and wrong. He was fearless
champion of the former. He never
compromised with the latter.
Those who knew him will uncover
to do honor and reverence for the
man who devoted his life to the SER
vices of his fellow man. Dying in
full possession of his faculties he
gave every evidence of his conf
dence and trust in the atonement Of
Christ. To him he committed his
spirit, and passed over into the Be
yond. w. NJ. +.

Mrs. Walter 4. Davis.

The following letter from Mrs Da-
yis appeared in the Lexington Trans
cript of Sunday:
"Feeling that a generous public,
who have really heard but one side
of the story of the late tragedy in
Harrodsburg, may yet retain enough
interest in the whole matter to desire
the whole truth, and urged by an
uncomfortable desire to place before
the public such evidence as will re-
lievc my late husband of the stigma
now resting on his name, l have
prepared the following statement,
with the accompanying letters, which
the partiality of the court, organized
for the purpose of acquitting Phil. B.
Thompson, jr., at the late trial, pre-
vented the use of at that time. The
lips of my husband are sealed by the
fatal bullet; those of the innocent
wife could not be heard during the
excitement and clamor preceding tho
acquittal. Without father, brother
or powerful friends to aid me in tn,
terrible crisis that came so unex
pectcdly, crushed to the very eartl

blow that widowed me ana orphaned

A few nights ago the editors at
work on the top floor of the tallest
newspaper Office in New York heard
the fire engines gathering at its base
about midnight. Stepping to the tel
ephone, one of the editors called to
the police headquarters mile away (;
"Is our office on fire." "No," came
the prompt reply. It's little building
round the corner" 1t took less time
to ask the question of man mile
off, who knew all about it from rout-
inc reports, than to go down stairs
and see for themselves.

the beauties of her own life on grow

sake let's don't limit her work to a

Don't let her influence be felt by

Yes; there were the sunny waves
Of golden hair, the blue eyes, and

between then and now! She was at
tired in simple, flowing robes of white
that fell around her graceful form like
mist. Her form was as perfect as the
imagination of the artist could con-
ceive, and there was still something
dreamy--inexpressible--s
ethereal about her, which would have
puzzled the most casual observer.

both her hands, and bending over her
said:
Aggie, have you forgotten me? Do
you not remember the playmate of

A flush came upon her cheek,
wondering light stole into her eyes
and happy, joyous smile wreathed
her lips.
Robbie, is ii you? she cried.
Yes, | answered, Aggie, it is the
same Robert Desmond you parted
from SO long ago.
How can l describe the joy felt at
the moment fraught with hope and
bliss to me. We talked of the years
that had flown; told each other our
respective histories, dating from the
parting under the willows so long
ago.
l never forgot you Robbie, she said
nor the happy hours we spent togeth-

here is the old ring you placed on my
finger the day we parted. And she
held up her hand and showed me
the old ring, now worn almost to a
thread.
You have made a good name for
yourself, Robbie, she continued you

She ended with flushed cheeks and
downcast eyes.

A correspondent Of one Of our great

This is a fair and impartial statement
of the case, and It now remains to be
seen what response will be made to
tho eloquent appeal Of the vice-regent.

that the theatrical now under advise
