THE subject of the work and sup port of 6 home paper is touched up Tn a very sensible style by the Rio Grande Republican as follows:
 The home paper of any commu- nity, city. or camp is silent and powerful worker In the interests of every private or public enterprise and we might as truly have said It's worth is seldom recognized and ade- quately supported by those most benefited by the painstaking and never teasing labor bestowed upon it to render it valuable as an attract~ i've and beneficial sheet to the com munity in which it is published and bled by "thank you" jobs which re- quire time and talent to give zest to the subject treated of. A publisher of a newspaper is too often regarded as a goose from which every one feels at liberty to pluck feather, without saying "by your leave, sir, ," or without reference to hIs bank ac . count, or showing the color of his money as 8 consideration for the privilege. A newspaper is the ful- crum that raises a community into public notice, and makes known and directs attention to it's latent re
 sources, attracts immigration, labor, and wealth. It should be well sup ported, and not allowed to exist, like Lazarus, by suferance, It is a severe commentary on any community to say hat t fails 10 support it's local

HON. THOS. P. OCHILTlREE.
Prososer Of the Famous Lasker
 EeSalutiOn.

There is probably no other Repre-
 sentative In the Fortyeeiglith Con-
 gress whose rame is more frequent
 ly mentioned throughout the United
 States, and eYen in foreign coun~ 1 tries, than is that of the above Con-
 gressman from Texas. This sud
 den notoricty has been gaIned by l Mir. Ochiltree's Inti oductiOn q few
 weeks ago, in the House of Repre-
 sentaiives, of the now famous Lasker resolutions, which Prince
 Bismarck has thrust back upon our Congress with the i:timation tn
 our country shoali atte to ifs own
 affairs This insult stirs the Amer
 ican heart to resent il, and brings
 Mir. Ochiltree into national prom
 thence in connection with ihe affair
 which will perpetuate his name in
 our civil history.
 Mir. OchiiiTee is a resident of Galveston, Texas, and the first Da- tive Texan ever elected to oar Con gress. He represents twentys' ven | counties, which compose til e seventh district. and comprise over 37 000 ] square miles of territory, reaching I from Galveston, on the Gulf, to Eagle Pass, on the upper Rio Grande. He was elected to Congress as an Independent by majority exceed ing 3,GO0 votes over Findlay, the Democratic candidate.
 After receiving limited educa- ton at the public schools of hi, State, at the age of r he became prIv.te in the Texas Rangers, and was engaged in the campaign against the Apache and Comanc he Indians in 1851 55 When the war broke out Mir. Ochiltree went in with the Confectionery, and his war -ecord on the staff5 of Generals <; Green, Taylor and S1bley is replete { with incid nts of bravery that ould . lave been more prol able in bet CT cause. But when the victorious lrmles of the North had suppressed he rebellion, Colonel Ochiltree ac- epled the new order Of things in ,ood iiIsh, and in time was ap- lsf pointed United Sta.es Narahal of Texas by President Grant, and hereafter was appointed United ,iates Commissioner of Emigration 0 Europe, in which capacity he | veral times visited foreign coun- ries, and when iE Berlin had nu- t- lerous audi nces with Bismarck ca affIlrs. |.

Where the Muse Dwells.

As the staunch leaves upon some secular
tree
Confront keen Autumn, green as in their
prime,
And, weathering each seasons varied
cline,
Still to their branches cling right sturdily;
So this old house has ever manfully
Withsiood the winds and buffetings OF
Time,
Constant in loyalty, in faith sublime,
All through our country's turbulent history.
Stern Winter cometh. All the darkening
wood
Stands songless, while the cleaners home
ward bear
From the gaunt fields the last of yellow
sheaVes.
Pause we and think, will the parable hold
goodH
Is there no cause for signing. as we hear
The ominous rustic OF the falling leaves?
