LONDON. December b. No progress has
been made in the attempts to save O'Don-

Is reported that his solicitors have now
seen all the twelve members OF the jury
that convicted him, but the efforts TO in
duce them to join in memorial to the
Crown for respite have thus far proved
unavailing.
The Daily Nel1S will say tomorrow

with the execution Of O'DOnnell. In re-

her MajeSty's Government has carefully
considered the whole matter, and j. con-

been assigned to warrant a stay OF the exc

The scail0ld upon which O'Donnell will
be executed is being erected. Iiangman
Binns is inside Newgatc prison and will
remain there until the execution has taken
place. O'Donnel sleeps well and takes his
meals regularly. He does not occupy the
cell to which condemned persons are
usually assigned, but is placed in a larger
one. Two wardenS watch him constantly.
Usually only one man is detailed for this

wOMAN's LOVE.

"Oh, this is wOman's love, its joy, its pain"
To gaze ON him, the loved one, and to trace
His image (which no time can e'er efface)
ON thy hearts tablets; then, when he is gone
Memry OF him may cheer thee when alone;
To see him smile, to watch his speaking eye
Gazing on thine, as II II asked reply;
To know his voice amid hundred round,
And feel thy beating heart respond the sound
To lean eonfiding on his arm, and know,
IL danger threatens, twill avert the blow;
10 listen for his footsteps, and TO hear
Thy own heart beat with love and doubt anC
fear;
TO hear at last his s. ep, and rise to greet
The one thy heart yearns fOndly thus tC
To think of him when absent, and to pray
For grace TO guide him on his perilOus way.
To hear him praised for deeds of goodnes:
To see him envied, and to know thou'st won
His pure, fond love, and that whate'er betide
In veal or woe. thy place is by his side;
Than in his youthful prime, his day of power
To feel, though fortune frown, though friends
fOrsake,
Though sorrows overwhelm, thou for his sake
Canst smile at fate and cheer and bless his
lot
1.-THE world forgetting, by the world forgot. >
Though sickness bows the form, and dims the
eve
Whose glance controlled the youthful destiny
Though pain may chafe thy spirit cen to vent
On thee murmur of discomfort,
Yet Ger his couch wilt thou unwearied bend,
And soothe and bless, though pangs thy bosom
rend;
TO see him suffer, and to feel and know
That cen thy love cannot avert the blow.
To watch the ivelOng night, and weep and
pray
For him, the loved one, till the dawn of day;
TO see the wasted form, the sunken eve
Still gazing on thee, though imploringly;
To press thy lips upon the pallid brow,
And try to smile, lest grief thy fears avow;
To catch from lips so loved the last faint
breath,
Then, shrinking, own the bitterness of death!

The Murder OF Land.

From rumors and general talk
about the Land murder, near Hub
bard, Monday night, it seems that the
young lady, one of Mrs. Lands daugh-
tiers, had been approached by Varnell,
the murderer, in the house with indie
cent proposals. which she had re-
pulsed. Finding it necessary, late in
the evening, to leave the house, she
was accompanied by one of the Young
ladies' present. When outside the
house, and but short distance away.
they were approached by Varnell,
VINO SAID he had something to say to
Miss Land, seized her by the arm and
led her off, telling the young lady to
wait. At a short distance from
where he left the other young
lady he, with pistol presented, told
Miss Land he intended to ac
complish her ruin; that he had
come there for that purpose. He
told her he would kill her if she
raised an cutlery, and would kill any
one who came near them. Dismayed
and frightened, the girl knew not
what to do, and at the muZZle of a
pistol was forced to yield herself a
victim to the dastardly villain. The
other young lady, fearful at Miss
Lands prolonged absence, approached
and discovered what had been done.
She ran to the house and told Mr..
Land, who fastened at once to the
place indicated, and upon his approach
was shot and killed by Varnell. Up
to last night nothing could be learned
OF the direction taken by Varnell, and
the officers are at a loss to know
which way he Travelled. That he will
ultimately be caught no one doubts,
and his punishment will be sure and
certain.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NEAL, Bur-
rows and Young are spoken of in con-
nection with the position made va
cant by the resignation of Mr.. Gilfl-
Ian, United States treasurer. When
Mr.. Gilfillan leaves his office Secretary
Folger will appoint commission of
experts to verify the balance on hand
at the close of business, March 81.
This commission will be required to
count about seventy or seventy-five
million dollars in cash and about
three hundred and seventy-five mil
lions in bonds. 1t will probably take
month to make the count. No
count was made of the amount on
hand when Mr.. Gillian assumed
charge of the office.

Dairy Items.

A Vermont farmer saws: "Cows
giving milk and growing stock re-
quire some variation in the quality of
the food. Contrary to the belief of
some, roots should not be fed with
straw or poor hay, as they are too
much alike in composition. Feed the
roots with clover or good hay, and
give the more concentrated food with
straw. 1t requires more skill to be
successful in feeding poor than rich
kinds of food. Corn fodder NAV be
made more palatable for stock by be-
ing preserved in silo, but nothing is
added to the nutritive qualities.
Sheep require greater proportion of
food according to weight than cattle,
as also will the smaller animals,
as there is the greatest loss of heat
in the last. Corn meal and wheat
bran mixed for the production of milk
will be better than either alone.
Horses weighing 1000 pounds require
twenty-five pounds of good hay per
day. Too much of hay and too little
of concentrated food is given to
horses. Would advise feeding clover
hay to sheep, good hay to cows, and
hay and grain to horses. Good corn
stalks, well cured, are about equal to
hay for mich cows. If grain is
needed, would feed cotton-seed meal
or bran, or both mixed. Would not
advise feeding much grain to cows
when dry. Properly fed, apples make
a good food for cows, say about one
half bushel each day, at first"

Wanted IT Killed.
fort Worth Gazette

lfOTI MOrLu GtiZcIlt.l
The railroad commission bill has
come to halt in the house on the
section embodying the tariff schedule
The Gazette is not particular about
the causes that lead to the defeat of
this measure, so that its defeat is Sc
cured. Texas is on the high road to
prosperity, with all conditions favor
able, and nothing can check the tide
but suicide. If the representatives of
the people determine to sever the
arteries that supply the body polite
with its life-blood, we may as
well prepare for the funeral
obsequies of the enterprise that
is willing to make Texas
the grandest state of the union.
Every means known to parliamentary
tactics should be to resorted to strangle
this bill and prevent its passage. 1t
should be done openly and boldly.
The people will applaud the action of
the true representatives of Texas en-
terprise who interpose distractions
to the passage of this death-giving,
capital-crushing monster = which
would, if enacted into a law, retard
the progress of the state full quar-
ter of a century, if, indeed, it did not
give it check from which it might
never recover. Kill it.

THE MeXia Ledger, in reply to Mr..
Forster's statement in the house, that
he was elected in spite of the opposi-
ton of the Ledger, says that the
paper supported him and its editors
voted for him. The Ledger expresses
surprise at Mr.. Fosters lack of gener-
osity. The Ledger is unsophisticated,
certainly, for it ought to have learned
long since that the first duty devolv-
ing upon politician is to disregard
the service of newspapers and of
newspaper men. They court the
editors and pay civilities to them while
seeking Office. but once obtained they
repudiate the very agencies which
make them.

Due D'AumaIe.

The Due d'Aumale is the fourth
son of King Louis Philippe, and is
the ableSt of the Orleans princes. He
is now 81 years of age, his profession
is that of a soldier, and before the
revolution of 1913 he had rendered
valuable assistance in the conquest of
Algeria. The events which drove his
father into exile also caused him to
take up his residence in England
wherehe resided from 1848 to 1871.
After the overthrow of the second
empire the Due d'Aumale returned to
France, was elected a member of the
national assembly and resumed his pc
sition as general of the French army
In this capacity he acted as president OF
the courtmartial which condemned
Marshal Bazaine to death for his al.
legged treachery in the surrender OF
Metz. Up to the year 1879 the Due
d'Aumale commanded the seventh
corps d'armee. His present position
is that of inspector general. He Is a
man of great wealth, an accomplished
scholar, a member of the French acad-
envy and an author. AT the present
time there seems to be a doubt
whether the house of deputies will
succeed in their desire to effect the
exile of all the Orleans princess, the
Due dAumale among the number
The heir to the throne in the Orleans
family is the Comte de Paris, son OF
the duke of Orleans, eldest son of
King Louis Philippe.

Rutabaga Philosophy.

SG.I
Gentlemen have had it. proved to
them beyond doubt that, in spite of
all efforts to mitigate the same, cruel
tY, suffering and an unprecedented
mortality prevail as current adjuncts
to the lessee System-and yet they de-
liberately vote for the submission of
the wretched convicts to an expert
ence of this kind not for five years, but
for fifteeni In fact, his highness of
Rutabaga would have it for 100 years;
the plan was such a good one to save
trouble, make money, punish rOgues
and snub sentimental philanthropists
The majority seemed to agree with
this unshorn disciple of Draco, for it
refused to amend by cutting down
the period granted by the lease. Very
well, make it fifteen years; but let
gentlemen remember that they only
increase the resemblance of the
lessee contract to the old slaver's voy-
age from the Guinea coast to Brazil
or Cuba. But few victims will sur
vive the protracted and terrible period,
but much money will be made in the
end! Yes, money against human life
and the pitiful league of human mercy
and human justice. Let them labor,
like beasts, in heat and cold, in wet
and dry-anywhere, everywhere
them suffer-let them die-they are
but cohvicts, rogues, thieves, rascals,
that deserve to suffer and labor unto
death! Oh, sublime humanity of the
Rutabaga philanthropy! But let it
be never forgotten that man cannot
do base wrong to man, either person
ally or by association, without ex-
and of God.

Caught by Its Own Device.


1t is now palpable that the Republi-
can congress is caught by the device
instituted to entrap the Democracy.
In order to evade tariff reform the
Republicans transferred the task to a
high joint commission. This body
went about its task at once and re-
turned the product of its labors to
congress. The house considered and
amended, without reforming the code
of cofessed robbery and wrong.
The senate entered upon the
same task, and to some
extent, through the interposition
of Senators Beck, Coke, Vest, Pugh,
George, Vance, and others, effected
material reductions of unseemly pop
ular burdens. To enact the house
bill, unless some revolutionary meas
ure be practiced, is impossible, while
the Democrats of the house assent
to without approving the adoption of
the less evil embodied in the senate
bill. The house is thus entrapped and
the lobby Disguised, and it will be
many days before the Republicans
will again delegate delegated powers,
in order to gain time and prevent re-
forms, to a grand commission.

The Austin STATESMAN is entitled
to much credit for its determined
opposition to the acceptance by the
legislature of the proposed penitenti-
airy lease. The proposition and appli-
ances used in its favor smack strongly
OF corruption.-Free Press.
The STATESMAN has given an in
sight into current matters at the seat
of government, but it has not charged
corruption against anybody. Ugly
reports are constantly arrayed before
it, and, were we so disposed, columns
might be filed in reference to them
1t is notifying to see the influences
exerted in a hundred different ways
and when state officials lend encour-
agement to these designs, the rehec-
ton is staggering, even to average
sensibility. The conclusion of the
Free Press is not to be wondered at

ONE of the last acts of the senate
was to pass the house bill, modifying
the postal money-order offices so as
to permit the issue of postal notes.
1t authorizes the issue of money
orders, without corresponding ad-
vices, of S. and less, to be on engraved
paper, and known as postal notes,
payable to bearer, such notes to be
invalid after three months, but the
holder can after that time get the
par value of the note by applying to
the postoffice department at Wash
ington. For issuing postal note a
fee of 3 cents shall be charged. This
bill authorizes the issue of money
orders in denominations of 800 or
less, but none for more than 500 can
be- issued. The following fees are
fixed to be charged for money orders:
For orders not exceeding $40, cents;
from $40 to SIS, 10 cents; SIS to $50
10 cents; $50 to $40, 20 cents; $40 to
$50, 20 cents; $50 to $50, 80 cents; $50
to $40. 30 cents; $40 to $50, 40 cents;
$50 to 800, 40 cents.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Augusta
Georgia, Chronicle says the style OF
southern architecture has changed
materially in the last five or ten years.
fright after the war we had an inun-
dation Of northern architects, who
planned houses suited to cold north
ern climates and wholly untitled for
our warm atmosphere. They made
close houses. with small rooms. mar
row stairways, without halls, and
with only scraps of veranda and
porch. The little cuddies OF rooms
and labyrinthine arrangement of inte-
rior were the very elimination of dis
comfort for our hot climate. The
philosophy Of true southern dwell
ing is roominess and chance for a
breeze. We need wide halls, ample
porches and large rooms"

were found in two other edifces and
at the lateral walls of the northwest
ern gate. 1t was also discovered that
the great wall of the ancient Acropo-
lis had been built in stu. According
TO DR.. Schilemann, a similar process
of baking entire walls has never yet
been discovered, and the ante in the
Hellenic temples are nothing else
than "reminiscences of the wooden
ante OF the old, which were of i'm
