trinity Cemetery,
Our reporter took an excursion over
the Belt street railroad yesterday and
leaving the cars where the road turns
out of the Mckinney road, walked ont
to Trinity cemetery. This silent city of
the dead is truly beautiful location
and although it is small Tor SO large Il
city as Dallas, il can be made as beauti-
full cemetary as can DO iound in all the
land. Young forest trees and cedars
abound, which if trimmed up properly
and with nice shelled walks and drives
winding among them would make ii "a
lovely spot for the repose of the dead.
About three-iifths OF the ground is
already taken up. Many OF the
lots are nicely improved, some in one
way ana some in another, Many i'm
posing monuments and tOmpStoneS are
To 9 seen, mementnes of affection tor
the loved and lost aud on all sides the
hand OF woman, mother, wife, sister or
daughter, is to be seen in the lovely
iloWerS and trailing vines that bloom
uuu EruW above the resting places OF
those who We're so loved in life. There
IS no higher mark of civilization, no
stronger proof of rchuement and of an
elevated morality Of the people, than is
the attention paid to their cemeteries.
We may moralize upon death and PHI
iosophsa KS we may. Reason may tell
us that death is the common lot Of all
aud that we should not grieVe, but when
the time comes that We are called upon
TO shut the cotlin lid upon the lace and
20 heap the clods of the valley upon the
bosom OF one we love, philosophy and
reason are but as the Idle winds When We
see the tired eyelids pressed down on
tired eyes That brighten no moro ut our
coming; see that one we have ever sn
iondiy and tenderly loved, still and cold
IN death, logic and argumeut-t thought
itself is rs nothing. All that is left us is
"a memory, a memory twiucd about with
the cypress OF sadness, enshrouded in
the pail Of grief. All we can do for our
dead is TO Oeautify the place where we
have put them away, and what is more
appropriate Tor this than trees and vines
and flowers and liuhens and musses.
AS they will live again, so will the
flowers and grasses that grow and bloom
about them every spring time after the
autumn OF their fading.
trinity cemetery belongs to private
company If we arc not mistaken, and
IL is certainly not amiss to suggest
that they improve the grounds-not
the burial lots, but improve the
grounds by making walks and drives,
by cutting out the underground, by
trimming up the trees and by setting
ont evergreons and shr ibbery along the
walks and drives. 1t is not amiss, eth
er, to suggest that street railroad to
the cemetery would pay. Hundreds of
peonle who have friends buried there
would patroni2e it every lew DAYS who
now, on account of the distance, are de-
barred the pleasure OF frequent visits,
and il is a pleasure, sad and solemn
though 1t he, to visit the graves of our
dead.

Remarkable stories are told Of the AZ
fiction shown by certain animals to-
wards others Of a different species. The
Union Medicale cites an instance of a
decidedly contrary character-on show
ing "tho cold aud practical instability
of affection in animals" A cat caught a
sparrow, and, after breaking one of its
wing, commenced playing preparatory

treated. The two then became close
friends. They ate, drank and slep to-
gether; the bird rode around the house
on the cats back, and the latter would
not even touch its food until the SPAR
row had satisfied its appetite. One
morning the bird found tho window
open, and, feeling strong of wing, took
unceremonious leave. The cat neither
died nor lost its appetite, circumst ance
