AFTER CHRISTMAS.

Sleepy eyes are softly closing with this fading
Christmas day;
Little dimplcd hands are folded-little forms
are tucked away;
Little feet, all day so busy, now 80 exquisitey
Curled-
Mama thinks the group before her Just the
prcttiest in the world!
Bertie lying like a picture in his dainty little
bed,
With his pretty Christmas playthings" close
beside his curly head;
Books and pictures tops and marbles, whis-
ties, rocking-horse and drums -
Baby with her tiny stockings filled with
choicest sugar plums;-
While sweet Mamie precious darling! with
her tumbled, sunny curls
Falling DER her pretty dolly" robcd in satin,
lace and pearls
Each is equally the sweetest, and we love
them all so we'll
Which of them we hold the dearest it would
puzzle us to tell.
From our darling fair-haired Berthe, the dear
firstling of our flock,
To the precious, helpless baby, hardly old
enough to talk,
Oft the mothers heart will question Were
we called upon to choose
Which of all the precious number ,ie could
best afford to lose ?
Though hold lifes richest treasures, mother
love can ne'er lose sight
Of the thousand sorrowing mothers who are
left alone tonight.
All, how many hearts are bleeding! and what
burning tear-drops flow
For the loved that blessed their fireside only
one short year ago!
Howmy heart goes out in pity for the mother
hearts bereft =
Some have given one sweet darling, others
have no baby left !
And my present joy is shaded with the sorrow
that must be,
When our first sweet lamb is taken--one from
out our precious three!
And with all tender mothers love and
earnestness pray:
''God in mercy spare our babies till another

FORT SMITH, ARK, July 11.-Three
United States prisoners were executed
here to-day for murders committed in
the Indian Territory: Thos. l.. Thomp-
son, white man; John Davis, a full
blooded Choctaw Indian, and Jack. a
woman killer, alias Galcatcher, a full
blood Cherokee.
The trap fell at IL o'clock. All
died without struggle. Thompson
was executed for the murder of his
partner, James O'Halloran in Chick
asaw Nation last September: Davis,
for the murder of William Bullock, a
white man, travelling through Choc-
taw Nation, May Is, 1884. The MUIR
derer waylaid Bullock in the woods,
shot und robbed him.
The Woman Killer, while drunk,
found an old white man asleep in the
woods, murdered, without provoca-
tion, then robbed him. All three adj
mitted the killings and the indians
gave no reasons for their crimes, but
| Thompson claimed to have killed his
partner in self defence. He made
| that statement on the witness stand
and in the last confession to the min
lister, but strong circumstantial EVIL
dence against him caused his convic
ton on the grounds that he murdered
his partner for his interest in theil
property.
Three other prisoners were to hav,
been executed to-day, but the presi
dent pardoned and committed sentenc'

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 1.-THE
Times Owens6oro, KY, special says:
At 80 o'clock this morning, an armei
mob attacked the county Jail, killing
| the TAILOR, w. j. Lu' as, breaking in
the doors of cell and taxing Richard
May, a negro, out and hanging him to
a tree in the jail yard. Sixty or
seventy men surround d the jail, de-
handing the prisoner. who had at
tempted to outrage the daughter of
Sid Kelly, prominent iarmer living
in the country, few days before.
The jailor called to his wife
to haye the pistols in readiness,
and refused to open the doors of
the Jail. The mob then began firing,
and the fire was returned by the Tailor
and his son Thomas, aged 10. They
fired thirteen shots, the mob firing as
many as 100 shots. Tailor Lucas fired
from the porch and the son from the
front windows. Two of the mob are
reported as killed. Eye-witnesseS say
that they saw one man fall shot by
Tom Lucas, and he was placed on a
horse and quickly carried off
After firing six shots from
the porch, the jailor was shot, the ball
entering his right side near the
nipple. He was carried to a room,
still refusing to give up the keys.
His wife took pistol and tried to
repel the mob, but they crowded up
the stairs and forced her to give up
the cell keys.
The outer door was battered down
with sledge hammers. They then
took MAY from his cell and hung him
to the only available limb in the court
house yard. 1t is stated that they
also had the Iopes prepared for
two other victims in the Jail. The
rope was a new one, and the knot a
regular hangman's knot. The jail
premises are badly riddled with bull
lets. The jailer carried lantern in
his hand and afforded a good target
for the mob. After hanging their vic
tim the mob departed, leaving a num-
Der of marks about the jail premises.
1t is stated that among them were a
of negroes, and that a por--
ton of them came from Indiana, OPP
posite Greensboro, where the girls
father lived. May was the third negro
hung in the court house yard by a
mob, and the fourth victim of the
gallows in the country The outrage
of last night is universally condemn
ed. There is great Indignation against
the citizens of Owensboro, and the
end is not yet at hand. Jailor Lucas
was given prompt attention, but died
at z o'clock, p. M, this evening.

Now that the great conven-

Mexican Veterans.

ST. Louis Mo-, July 11.-At a meet
ing of Mexican veterans here last
night it was decided to hold an inter-
national convention of Mexican veter-
ans in this city early in October next.
The project meets the hearty approval
of the president elect, Gen. Diaz, of
Mexico, and other prominent Mexican
government officials and they have
promised to send fifty prominent
veterans of the Mexican war to the
convention. A committe was ap-
pointed to take charge of the matter,
issue invitations and make all neces-
sary preparations for the convention.
1t is expected this meeting will have a
marked effect in allaying whatever
bad feeling Mexico may have for
Americans, and do much towards es-
tablishing cordial good will between
the two republics.
