anxious expectation of what might result
from the defiant attitude Of the Coolies
and about 2 o'clock, pm, forces were de-
spatched to guard the three avenues by
which the Town could be approached, viz:
The Les Efforts entrance, the North Napa-
rima Royal Road, and at Vesta Belle
Road. In the meantime, the princi-
pal places of business in the lower part
of the Town were closed and everything
presented signs Of expectancy and de.
ISOLATION. Early in the afternoon, news
spread that the Coolies had been fred
into at the junction of the Les Efforts en-
trance with the South Naparima Royal
Road, which increased the anxiety which
was then almost general. The Report was
but too painfully true; the procession Of
Coolies up to the Road intimated to adj
vance towards the Town, despite the
presence of the armed Soldiery and Police,
and the continued entreaties of those who
undertook the duties of recoEcillng the
people to their position. They advanced
to within 90 yards when, as we are inform
ed, one volley of 20 shots of musketry.
charged with buck-shOtS, were fired into
the crowd, and 13 independent shots,
causing several deaths, and wOunding II
good many others. In all we are credibly
informed that at this point d rounds had
been discharged, the excess being indie
pendent shots. This news was immediate
ly conveyed to the squad protecting the
North Naparima Road. Certain V0un-
teerS there present undertook to inform the
Coolies coming down that road that some
of their comrades had been shot at the
Les Efforts boundary, among these Volun-
teers were Captain tombstone of the Fire
Brigade, Mr.. James brennan, j. p, and
several other persons. This they did, urg-
ing on the Coolies the prOpriety OF deslSt-
ing, lest they met with a similar fate. The
Coolies from CorinM were uncomfortable,
and up about 20 yards from the Police
force in waiting, they clamOured against
RamDin, respectable and well-tO-dO Coo
lies, independently of the gentlemen above
mentioned and other respectable persons,
whose best endeavours were used to pre-
vent them attempting to march towards
the Town. Seeing the turn which matters
were about to take, Captain tombstone of
the Brigade, and Mr.. James brennan, who
had volunteered to 60 out to them, found
it necessary that the Riot Act be read,
which was accordingly on the Road at
Cocoyer Village, done, and at their reach
ing the point already indicated the COM
mand of 'Fire" was given by Captain
Baker, which was confined to ten men OF
the Police on their knees, which resulted
in killing 5 and wounding Al. The Police

sounds of whose drums i'll different parts
of the Country indicated the intention OF
carving out their festival III the usual way,
but gentlemen we'll known in the COmmunl-
ty were entrusted with the mission Of GO
ing among the Coolies and of reConCiling
them to obedience to the regulations, by
which the range of their professions was
cirtailed. These measures were repeated
day and night during Monday, Tuesday,
and "Wednesday, and to prevent surprise,
reliable scouts were entrusted with the
duty Of travelling the Country, and report
ing on any occurrence which might lead to
the belief that the Coolies were bent on
carrying out their intention, or otherwise.
AS q further p%recautlOn, the T~elegraphlc
Offices were kept open night and day, and
the members of the Fire Brigade held
watch in the tower of the Police Buildings,
by means of which the appearance OF a
disturbance would be quickly communica-
ted to the authorities. It had been all
along asserted by many of the Coolies, and
those acquainted with their views, that
they would, despite all efforts to the con-
trary come into San Fernando in process.
sion but III view of the ample provision
made to cOunteract such a design, it was
confidently expected by the majority OF
our thinking people that the Coolies would
have been brought to see the futility OF
such determination. On Wednesday night
however, the Coolies of Philippine and
Union Hall Estates came in the usual way
down to the Cipero Royal Road, and, in that
single act, were i'll direct c~ontraventiOn

which may be imagined as we'll as APPROX

Brigade, and other gentlemen, rode about
the Country to advise a contrary course
The night passed off without any further
event; but the assurance that the Coolies
would enter the Town on Thursday be-
came more and more manifested by their
unrestricted action.

places of business here were closed, in the

1i,slt A CATTLEQUEEN OF TEXAS.
Mrs. Rogers. who Is worth a Million
d3naud who Can Ride Like a Cow Boy.

There is a genuine cattle queen in the per-
son of Mrs. Rogers, who lives between the
King ranch and Corpus Christi, ebout fif-
teen miles from the latter place. Her first
husband was a cow-man named Rabb.
Right here should explain that a decided
distinction and difference exists between a
seow -boy'' and 1t 'cow-man. p" The former
is a hired man who rides after the herd !;
the latter is his employer who owns the
cattle Well after RABBI from small be-
ginning and by good management and
thrift, had accumulated herd of 10000
cattle, he died, and left all to his better
half, who had been a help-meet i'll every
sense of the word, and not only understood
the cattle, business, but had managed it
successfully during her husbands long ILL
ness. ~, ....,.....,. 49,.
Widow Rabb was not only thrifty, but
she was pious and belonged to the Method
list persuasion. A young preacher by the
name of Rogers came along, under whose
ministrations she grew in grace, and the re-
suit was matrimonial one, although the
odds in We're in favor of the parson by some
thing like twenty-threer years She had no
children and he had seven, but she took the
motherless BARNS under her wings, and the
alliance has turned out in every way success
fully. Rogers had not long been married
to the. widow and her cattle when he ac--
qnired a bad case of bronchitis, and was
compelled to give up preaching. Such
cases are frequent But the widow gave
him notice that she was competent to run
the ranch and has kept the cattle in her
own name, Rogers knowing no more about
them than any Of the neighbors. He took
to politics when lie found his services were
not needed at the ranch, and is now the
Democratic member Of the Legislature from
Nueces county. t..l.,.
Mrs. Rogers, although worth round
million, lives in quite an humble home, and
appears to have, no ambition further than
to carry on the business her husband left
her, and accumulate money and cattle.
She goes to Corpus Christi every week or
so to sell xstock sors purchases supplies. but
has no taste for dress. or society. She is
fifty years old but rides horse like cow
boy and does not even own carriage.
She never entertains anyone except the
few people who visit her place ON business,
and lives in the plainest possible manner

DRAGGED DOWN BY OPIUM.
-
The Fall of a Noted Belle of the Eastern
Shore.

shore. , - -
There is now pending in court Of equity
in Baltimore, Nd, divorce suit which has
brought to light particulars illustrating the
blighting effects of the opium habit. lOw-
i%s The high social standing of the par
ties involved, the greatest secrecy has been
observed and the .namesare withheld from
publication 1t is known, however, that
the unfortunate victim of the deadly drug
was until her marriage, in 1869, q noted
society belle, living on the Eastern Shore,
Md. She graduated with high honors,
and upon entering society was recognized
as the belle of the county, which boosted
many beautiful women. She had scores of
admirers, but gave her hand to gentle
man living in the same county, Of equal
social rank and wealth. For several years
the married life of the couple was one of
great happiness. Three children blessed
the .union.S Soon after the birth of the last
child it was observed that the lady became
subject to fits of melancholy, at times talk
ing no interest in anything around her and
again buoyant and cheerful. An old and
trusted servant finally discovered that the
wife was confirmed opium eater. Every
effort was made by the distracted husband
to break her of the habit, but without sue
cess. Two years ago she disappeared
still young and pretty --and though 0detec-
tives were employed, no trace of her could
befouhd. Recently a policeman of BaHi-
ore'observed among the names of persons
sent to the house of Correction that of the
missing woman, whom he had known in
youth. Upon her discharge he traced her
to one of the dens in Baltimore, kept by a
colored woman. The officer notified the
husband, and a few days ago they went
together to tile place and the husband
found his wife in the company of coarse
negro. Theiwretched man sprang forward
to destroy her but was restrained by the
policeman. All traces of the woman's for
mer beauty had disappeared and she was
almost unacceptable even to her husband.
Evidence for the divorce suit was obtained
and the opium victim left to her fate.

THE WORLD Is YOUNG.

Who will say the world is dying?
Who will say our prime is past?
Sparks from Heaven with In us lying
Flash, and will flash to the last
Fools who fancy Christ mistaken,
Man tool to buy and sell,
Earth Il failure, God -forsaken,
Ante-room of hell
Still the race of hero spirits
Pass the lamp from hand to hand;
Age from age the world inherits-
Wife and child and fatherland.
Still the youthful hunter gathers
Fiery joy from work and wood;
He will dare as dared his fathers,
Give him cause as good,
While slave bewails his letters,
While an orphant pleads in vain;
While an infant lisps his letters,
t Heirs of all the ages gain;
While a lip grows ripe for kissing,
While a moan from man is wrung,
Know by every want and blessing,
That the world is young.
