The Ring.
A band OF FURNISHED cold
NV fingers gently hold.

Inc hing.
A band OF FURNISHED gold
My fingers gently hold,
Ind through the magic circle OF its rim,
Before my dreaming eyes
A Thousand memories rise,
And fill my soul with lOngings, vague and dim
seem to see the gate
At which used to wait
For her who gave to me this token sweet.
l feel a tender thrill,
That calls to mind the hill
Where hours, like moments, fled on pinion:
fleet.
The form Of youthful grace,
The smiling, tender face,
Is near me still, in spirit, though the years
Have slowly come and fled,
And cherished hopes lie dead
Along my way too thickly strewn for tears.
OH little band Of gold!
A wealth of Joy untold
Your shining circle conjures to my mind,
And will-until my breath
Shall meet the kiss of death,
And all the pain of earth be, left behind.

THAT Independent move in Bos-
ton is distressing to the patriots who
are watching its rapid development
with painful interest and wondering
surprise. The power and policy Of
republicanism within its own lines is
very novel one indeed to these wor-
thies, but that it should be headed
by the proudest and best men in the
party, by the ablest and most infuen-
tial papers and that it should be gen.
eral, is both surprise and mortifica-
ton. II only teaches the mundaneness
of human calculations, and also
that corruption when it has
reached the massive proportions
which it has under republican admin
istration, will sicken the stoutest
stomachs. There is promise in this
revolt for all the cleanlier interests of
the people.
THERE are many Ireland men who
are not at all pleased at the treatment
melted out to Judge Terrell by the
friends of the governor. They regard
it as mean and spiteful, and
those are qualities the peo-
pie Of Texas cannot stand. 1t
was no position Terrell sought, in
which he could possibly get in the
governors way. 1t was doue to hui
initiate a man who-no matter who
hates or likes him-would have been
an honor to the state on the floor of
the national convention, where she
needs first class representation. We
regret for the governors own sake
that this little thing was done.

Galveston ifarbOr.

The people of Galveston have, for
ten years, been seeking deep water
through Washington methods. But,
after so long period, a deal of trou-
BILE, the expenditure of over a million
and half dollars by the government
and 100000 by Galveston herself, deep
water, according to the bar pilots, is
almost as far off as ever. 1t is true the
south wall OF the two proposed jetties,
q submarine structure of stone and
brush four miles long, has been COM
pleted, while United States Engineer
Mansfield claims therein been latter
ly an addition of two feet
on the bar. Yet in SO
far as any practical re
suits to commerce are concer ned, it
must be confessed the expectations of
the people of Galveston have not been
realized, and the promise of Col. Mans
field of eighteen feet on the bar, in a
specified time already expired, has
ended in nothing but disappointment.
To do justice to Col. Mansfield, how
ever, it might be taking snap judg-
ment on that officer as well as the
government plan," now being put
to the test on Galveston bar, to
condemn the one or repudiate
the other, until the building
of the north jetty, which would com.
plete the works as now proposed. The
works are, by government engineers
deemed rather experimental thar
otherwise. The completion of the
north jetty wall might scour out The
bar to the twenty-five feet desired
and it might not. In the meantime
Capt. Eads offers, as certainty-"nc
cure, no pay"-for the matter of a few
, millions, to double the present, depth
on the bar. It's not surprising thu
Galveston people, tired out with de
lay, jump at the proposition, and b!
throwing Mansfield overheard, stalk
all upon the Eads bill. This is proba
bly, tbs wisest coUrse tina
could have been pursued, be

Goldfish is associated with comedy
rather than with tragedy. says an edi-
torial in the New York Times. Yet
according to the figures, there is moth
ing in the list of articles for domestic
consumption which costs so much il
human life as the Goldfish. The rice
fields of the South are deadly to every.
body but the negro laborer, though the
white man is careful not to expose
himself. Coal-mining demands an an
nual sacrifice of victims quite large il
the aggregate; and the whaleries were
once very fatal to those employed IL
them. But in proportion to the mum
Der of men employed, the taking OF
the Goldfish is probably more destrnct-
i've to human life than any other pur
suit During the last twenty-five
years the aggregate yearly loss OF
Massachusetts fishermen alone has
been nearly 100 men. Since August
last the mortality has been frightfully
large, no less than 254 men having
persisted in the past nine months.
Nearly all of these men came from
Gloucester. Massachusetts,, where the
general excess of women over men in
that State must be greatly aggravated
by this mortality of the male popula-
ton. Much of this loss of life is
attributed to the carelessness OF the
fishermen in anchoring their boats so
near one another that during a gale
two or three of them win break loose
and run amuck through the feet the
collisions being usually fatal The
ocean steamers are also said to be very
careless and think as little Of running
down a fishing boat as they would OF
running over a whale"

There is nothing new in saying that
lemon juice is good for malaria; or, in
other words that it is useful to combat
intermittent fever by the victims of that
disease A French medical journal
recommends a decoction of the fresh
lemon, that is, lemon cut into slices
and boiled in new earthen pot, making
practically, lemon tea. 1t is TO be
given four hours before the fever, and is
