D0NTLET MOTHER DO 1T.

Daughter, don't let mother do it
Do not let her slave and toll
While you sit, useless idler,
Fearing your soft bands. to soil.
Don't YOU see the heavy brrthcns,
Daily she is won't TO bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hair
Daughter. don't let mother DO it
Do not let her rake and brQi
Through the long, bright Skinner hours
Share with her the heavy toll.
See, her eve has lost its brightness,
Faded from the cheek the glow,
8pd the epthat once was buoyant
Now Is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughter. don't let mother do it,
She has cared for you so long,
Isit right the weak and feeble
q Should be telling for tlis st-ong2
Naken FROM your listlss langor,
Seek her side 70 cheer and bless.
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let rcthcf do it
You will never, reyen know
What were home without n mother
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daisies,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home so sad without her,
Never TO return again.

Texas. Curtis had been rudely showed by
Burgess, and hot words ensuing the latter
attempted to shoot the former, but Curtis
was too quick for him. Burgess killed
Donnclly at the same place last November,
and when shot by Curtis fell dead two feet
only from the spot on which Donnelly died.
1t is said Burgess intended to kill Curtis at
The time of the shooting Of Donnelly.

TO NEZ-PIQUE.


Nez-Pique, why art thou ever flowing
TO the deep and sluggish Menteau?
Tt you did not give thy waters
1t would never find the gulf
But would rest from year to year
In its deep and winding channel!
'Tis thus feed the scaly carYp
The splendid perch, the games0me trout,
These with all the finny race
Are children of thy rippling waters;
This is why give my flowing
To the deep and sluggish Menteau.
Why not rest beneath the cypress,
And the green and shining pines.
Listening to your forest songsters
AS they warble sweetest music
IT rested in my channel
All my joys of life would perish,
And the murmuring of my waters
Would be hushed for evermore, II
Then the music of my songsters
And the sighings of my forest
Would fall in dullness ON your ear,
This is why give my waters
To the deep and sluggish Monteau.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE HOMICIDE.
MANSFIELD, La, June 16.-Rev. Ben.
jenkins, Jr., this morning killed Rev.
j. Lane Borden, president of the Mans
field Female College. Rev. Mr.. Bor-
den had seduced a young lady who was
q friend of Mr.. Ben. jenkins. The
difficulty occurred in front of Mr.. B. f..
.yenkins,s store. Mr.. Jenkins used re-
volver and fred five or six shots. One
shot took effectin Mr.. Borden's leg, anoth
yer pierced his heart, and another struck
him in the forehead just between the
ewes. He lived about two hours, but
never spoke after the shooting.
The greatest excitement prevails, but
Mr.. jenkins has the sympathy OF the
entire community.
Mr. Jenkins and his brother, G. 3.
Jenkins, who was present, surrendered
to fiie sheriff. A preliminary examina-
ton will probably be held on Monday
Mr. jenkins is a young man about
25 wears of age, and was ordained as q
minister at the last annual session OF,
the conference Of the Methodist Episco-.
nal Church South. He is the son OF
Hon. B. f. jenkins, Of this place, and
mas been preaching at Robeline Sta
lion, on the New Orleans Pacific Rail

trustees of the college.

renee at the st. Clair, Mrs. thompson"
Il most certainly do, and I know who it
was, but dare not reveal the name"
Mrs. Thompson spoke in the kindest
terms of Phil Thompson, ST., and his wife,
whom she said had ever treated her kindly
and always SAID they didn't believe her
guilty. Jessie Buckner and John Thomp-
son, she declared, were the authors of all
the trouble. 81 feel sorry for Phil. 1
didn't want him punished, but I desired
that my fair name should not be sullied
and an innocent man held guilty of a
heinous crime" The unfortunate lady
spoke in touching terms of her children,
and particularly her daughter Matte, in
school at Washington City. She showed
the reporter letter from Matte, dated
May 81, in which she told her mamma to
write often, as she loved her so dearly and
was so anxious to hear from her.
''My daughter knows why 1 went to
Washington to see her father, and she still
stands by her mother"
SHE SPEAKS KINDLY OF HER HUSBAND.
She would say nothing against her hus-
band, whom she has spoken of in the
kindest manner, and thought he was
prompted to kill Walter Davis by bad
advisers.
During the conversation Mrs. Davis sat
with her face buried in her hands, but
would occasionally make some remark or
offer word in defense of her departed
husband. The newspaper man at last took
mis- departure, and the ladies were left to
carry on the omnipresent topic of CONVEX
sation among them.
The fair sex in Harrodsburg, almost
without exception, side with Mrs. Thomp-
son, and not one of them can ever be con-
WINGED that she was guilty of adultery with
Walter Davis. Public interest in the great
tragedy, although more than two weeks
have elapsed since the end of the trial,
which resulted in Phil. Thompson's &C.
quittal, has not ceased. If the proposed
suit for damages is brought against the
Thompson's the excitement will be greater
than before. The Davis faction assert
that they don't want the money of the
slayer of their friend and relative, but de-
sire only to vindicate his innocence and
show that he died to protect the honor of
Phil. Thompson's wife.

THE HOUSE.

1t was petition and bill day in the house.
Proceedings were opened by the expected
avalanche of petitions for the submission
of a constitutional amendment to the
electors prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors
in the state. The petitions
were from nearly every senatorial district
in the state, and we're of two classes upon
uniform headings, one signed by non
voters and the other by voters. AS a rule
the non-voters outnumbered the voters by
few upon each petition, the two aggre-
eating several thousand. Another petit
ton, largely signed, was introduced by
Representative Cook, of Blue Earth, pray
ing for state control in the matter of grain
grading. The petition is given elsewhere.
In all fourteen new bills were introduced,
the purpose of which will be seen upon
reference to the
