Carlyle's First Love.

This was the time Q81G 49, of C~arlyle's

not refrain from the episode of Margaret
Gordon. This girl, interesting long ago to
all inquirers into Carlyle's biography as the
nameless original CT his Blumine, has be-
come even more intere sting since tne rev.
elation of her name and the description of
her by Carlyle himself III his Reminds
cences. Even this description however,
fails far short o the impression made by
that fragment of her farewell letter to
Carly sic which Mr.. Froude. has published
in lis Nineteenth Century article on Car
lyle's early lite. Nothing finer or nobleE
than that letter has come TO light,
or ever can come to liebt In all
Carlyle's colrespondence:-"And now, my

Austin, January 25.-There is much
comment here tonight in regard to
Senator Teirelrs resolution in the
senate to-day requesting Governor
Ireland to ask the legislature to ltgls-
late the landed corporations of Texas
out of existence 1t is well known
that Judge Terrell intended and
promised 10 introduce into the senate
a bill on This extraordinary subject,
and that he even went to the extent OF
soliciting votes in support of the
measure. Monday was the day set Tor
launching this cummuuistic brand OF
the already agiIuted wave OF Texas
legislation, but owning to cir
cumstances over which the sena-
toriai Chesterfield had no control, the
bottom fell out of the pet project and
the pretty lit scheme was aban
doned. Whether those who prom sed
it their support refused TO come 10
tinIe, or whether the willy senator had
other weighty reasons for changing MS
tactics is not exactly known, out this
much at least is certain: had be intro
duced such u measure il would have
been buried beneath the votes of AN
overwhelming majority. The intro
duction of the senator's resolutions to-
day is viewed with some significance.
from the fact that last night, ac-
co, ding TO current ruinor, he made
use of the following startling
prediction: "The grass that now waves
along our prairies will not grow anoll-
er inch above the soil until the fences
from Red river 10 the Rio Grandc Will
be torn down" Whether Judge Ter
rell has better me rs ufkn0wing the
intention of the ience.cutters than the
general public. or whether he sup
posed the introduction of the inc-ndia-
nv resolution referred 10 would have
lie effect lie predicted, cannot now be
determined. AT any rate the bring
ing forward of this question in such
shape at time when the popular
mind Is so much inllamed against cor
poratinns Is regarded by many
as unstatesinanlike and unpatriotic,
while others look upon it as move to
hamper aud embarrass the governor.
That Judge Terrell, in his place IN the
senate, should sEirk the Iesponsibl ity
he Sc, ks to throw upon the executive
is spoken of AS ungrnerons and UNFAIR,
