How dar'st thou try this stormy path,
Thou frail and struggling bark
Old England's shores are shut from sight
Amid the gathering dark.
The friends, who waved their sad adieu,
Have homeward gone to waep,
And thou art left lonely waif,
Upon the boundlcss deep.
Night closes round thy little group
OF aching, hOmesick hearts,
That strive to hide the thoughts which rise,
And quench the tear that starts;
But hard it is. on wings of faith,
To mount DER present fears
And see the glory that may break
Around the distant years.
Yet sail thou on, thou shalt not fail
To reach yon waiting shores;
Thou earliest trea sures, costlicr far,
Than Dphir's golden stores;
II CTSat $ bark must needs be safe
Amid the aurry waves,
The men thou Dearest cannot sink
In oceans gloomy caves
sail gladly on, the world behind
Is rent with hate and strife;
The cankcr Of thousand wears
Is feeding on its lite;
ca, welcome, as thy truest friend,
This broad dividing sea-
Its stormy .ramparts are thy shield,
The world beyond is free.
The little seed, by Pilgrim hands,
In fear and weakness sown,
May what through long and weary years
Before to iullness grown,

And ty throyygh pi' tba -, rirsin~ raii', oges stretch
Its irul iul branches wide.

Correspondence Of The Leader.
SHERMAN, April 25.-At about 8
o clock yesterday morning our quiet town
was thrown into great excitement. On
the 23d, a large, fine looking man about
FIVE feet eleven inches in height, with black
hair and a full beard, apparently between
t~hirty-tive and forty years of age, came
into the village. He was evidently a pro-
fessional tramp and from his actions and
conversation was not altogether of sound
mind. He went into Mrs. Browns hotel
and asked for something to eat, which
was given him. He inquired of some of
the section hands if he would be allowed
to sleep in the water tank. On being in
formed there would be no objection he
went to the tank. The next morning he
came into Mrs. Browns hotel about !
o'clock, was given a lunch and started
east. When Just opposite Mr., {, X. Coun-
tryman's store he fell in a fit. Mr.. Coun-
tryman and some other gentlemen carried
him into Mr. Countryman's ball room,
placed him on II mattrass and about Has
in the morning he expired. His strug'
giles were fearful. He had a succession Of
fits with scarcely any intermissi0n from
the time Of his attack until he expired.

No money or any papers that would lead

son. From the evidence adduced, he had
a conversation with several section hands
on the evening Of the ODD. He told them
he was on his way to Denver, and that he
had a brother in Colorado who ran a
steam pump. He also said the cause OF
his being West was that he had been un,
successful in farming; that he owned two
farms in Arkansas. and on account Of
bad crops had been forced to leave. and
concluded he could do better West. lie
had been as far West as Laramie, anG
not finding work had concluded to return.
The jury, after hearing all the evidence,

A lTTI.E QUEEN.
A Plain T.Nas MmIonairess and a
Big Ranch.

There Is a rnuine cattle queen in the
person Of MIR Rogers, who lives between
the King ranch and Corpus Christi, Tex
as, about IL miles from the latter place.
Her first husband was Il cowman named
Rabb. After Rabb, from Il small begin
ing and by good management and thrift,
had accumulated a herd of $40, 900 cattle,
he died and left all to his better half
Mr.. Rabb was not only thrifty but she
was pious and belonged to the Methodist
persuasion. \ young preacher by the
name of Rogers came along, under whose
ministrations She grew in grace, and the
result was a matrimonial one, although
the odds in are were in favor of the par
sou by som thing like twenty-three
years. Rogers had not long been
married to the widow and her cattle when
he acquired n 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, an | has kept the cattle in her

them than any of the neighbors. He
took to polite when he found his services
were not necGad at the ranch, and is now
the Democratic member of the I~egisla-
ture from Nueces County. Mrs. Rogers,
although worth Il round million, lives in
an humble home, and appears TO have no
ambition further than to carry ON the
business her husband left her and accu-
mulate money and cattle. She goes to
Corpus Christi every week or so to sell
stock or purchase supplies, but has no
taste for dress or society. She is 80 years
old, but rides a horse like n cowboy, and
does not even own her ewn carriage. She
never entertains anyone, except n few
people who visit her place on business,
and lives in the p%lainest possible manner.
One of the largest cattle ranches in the
world is hat of Miller d Lux, in the San
Joaquin Valley, Cal, which consists of
6O0, 900 acres of fenced pasture. The
Matador Cattle company have 100000
acres under fence, but it is in several sep

purchased by them for 81, $50, 600. Their
principal range lies in the Panhandle, in

CHICAGO, April 25.-The statement
telegraphed from New York to the effect
that the tripartite pool had dissolved is
without any foundation. The roads in
alliance remain on amicable terms, and
the statement is made authoritatively that
no differences have yet arisen which in
any way threatens the pool. The differ
ence between the Union Pacific and the
Burlington roads, it has since been learned
came very near resulting in an open decla-
ration of war. After the general confer
ence yesterday, it was left to these two
roads to decide upon a decision of local
competitive business in Nebraska, pend
ing the signing of the general contract
between the Burlington and all roads in
the Western Trunk Line association. At
the Boston conference the Union Pacific
agreed to discontinue certain special rates
in Nebraska business that had been made
on west bound business but discontinued
it being unable to carry ON the agreement
without the concurrence of its allies east
of Omaha. For its apparent lack of faith
the Burlington officials quit the confer
ence and negotiations appeared at an end.
The Western Trunk lines held IL meeting
at II O'Clock this morning and agreed to
abolish the special rates in question and
take care of all the outstanding contracts.
Upon this announcement the Burlington
road renewed its negotiations with the
Union Pacific and to-day the officials of
the latter road left for home in expectation
that the negotiations will now he pursued
to an amictble ending.
