The Dear old Mother.

Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snow flakes on her
brow. plowed deep burrows on her
checks, but is she not sweet aud beau
tifnl now? The lips are thin and
shrunken, but those are the lips which
have kissed many a hot tear from the
childish cheeks, and they are the
sweetest lips in the world. The eye is
dim, yet it CLOVIS with as soft radi =
auce of holy love which can never
fade. All yes, she is a dear old
mother. The sands of life are nearly
run out but feeble as she is she will
90 further and reach down lower fol-
you then any other on earth. You
cannot walk into a midnight where
she cannot see you; you cannot enter
a prison whose bars can keep her out;
you cannot mount scaffold too high
fer Der to reach that she may kiss and
bless you in her deathless love. When
the world shall dcspise and forsake
you, when it leaves you by toe way.
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms, and carry you home and tell
you of al your virtues until you
almost forget that your soul IS dis
figured by vices, Love her tenderly,
and cheer her declining years with
holy devotion.

First, as to the opposition OF

are saying: ave are all right, but
we do not care if you are; we will
vote to defeat the subsidy, because
we shall have to saddle ourselves

The Wall Robbers, Confession.

Ozark, Arkansas, March 2I.-
The Johnson brothers, two of the
Little Rock and Fort Smith train
robbers now in Jail, confessed
their crimes. George Johnson
said the party was organized at
Mrs. Herndos's, but the plan was
not entirely completed then. but
il was the understanding that the
train ON the Little Rock and Fort
Smith road was to be captured
and robbed, and adjourned to meet
Mulberry, where the plan of ope-
rations was formed in the woods
near the town. Their plan was not
to kill any one except in self-de-
feuse, and to avoid bloOdshed un-
less absolutely necessary. The
shooting was done under excite
ment, and was entirely unneces
sary. Jim Herndon, who was cap.
tured near Huntsville, Madison
county, this morning, fired the
shot that killed Conductor Cain.
The original plan was to capture
Cain and rob the train. George
Johnson is an ex.Federal soldier,
now drawing a pension.

The postal notes will no doubt
be found more convenient in one
respect than the fractional paper
currency was, since they can be
obtained for any number of cents
under 50. There will also be less
liability to loss by theft than there
was where fractional notes were
used for transmission through the
mails, especially if the department
uses judgment in prescribing the
size and form of the notes, and in
selecting the paper on which they
are to be printed. On the other
hand they will be less convenient,
in that they can only be obtained
at money order Offices at a consid.
cradle sacrifice of time, especially
in large cities. 1t will be observed
that after the LIST of October the
cost of sending any sum under s.
postal note will be ) cents cents

Postoffice Department at Wash
