SIC TRANSIT.
Glory Is Transient, Fame Is Fleeing, and
All Is Vanity.

Glory Is Transient, Fame Is Fleeing, and
All Is Vanity.
My dear boy, do not envy your
neighbor his greatness. Do not repine
because you are not President Of the
United States, standing between the
deep sea and the Mugwumps, with a
thousand wearying cares on his heart
and brain. Glory is transient and fame
doesn't last long. All is vanity, nv
son.. "Man cometh forth like a flower
and is cut down; he t1eeth also as a
shadow and continueth not" The
joke that IS new to-day, doth it not
pass into the sad and dreary tomb of
the circus, or the embalming hands of
the end man tomorrow? s'There is
hope of a tree if it be cut down that it
will sprout again, and that the tender
branch thereof will not cease" but the
song we all sang yesterday, and paid
money to hear, and applauded with
loud resounding encores, do we lift up
u hands to-day and smite the mar
who singeth ''Sw**t V**l*ts' or .sG*b-
BILE, G*bble?" But yesterday the
word of Caesar might have stood
against the world; to-day the smiling
clerk looks up from the register and
says cheerfully: Sample room, Ju-
lius?" The King and the President,
my boy, are like grass which groweth
up; in the morning it fourisheth and
groweth up; in. the evening it is cut
down and withereth. The lawn mower
of fate brings us all to the same smooth
level, prophet, priest, king and tramp,
and the lawn looks all the better and
more velvety after the lawn mower has
passed over it. Happier than the man
who gets there is the man who gets
left, for he hath all the roses of antici-
patton with none of the narrowing
thorns of realization. Happier, nv
son, the villager who goeth forth to
the post-office and asketh for a letter
than the titled villager who handcth it
put to him, for the villager who asketh
curseth the titled villager when there
is no letter, and the insulted. postmas-
ter not swear back when there is
one. "-Burdette, IN Broohlym Eagle.

TEXAS INVADED.
Mexican Troops Cross the Rio Grande
and Drive OF Herd Of Cattle.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, Dec. ia special to the
NetCs from Austin says: Adjutant Gen. King
yesterday received letter from w. III. Titus a
reliable gentleman residing in Ell Paso county,
stating that on the I'd instant about twenty
five Mexican soldiers crossed into Texas and
deliberately stole small herd OF twenty-five
cattle belonging to q. w. Gentry and Thomas
Wiley, Americans. When the soldiers put in
an appearance the cowboys asked them what
authority they had for crossing into Texas and
driving of cattle. The leader of the soldiers
told them that they had better go back to camp
Mr.. Titus asked the adjutant general for state
rangers to protect the frontier. Gen. King re-
piled, in substance, that the state had a small
force of rangers near Maria, Preside county
and that whatever aid they could render would
be freely given, but that such an invasion by
foreign soldiers was fully within the scope OF
the authority of the United States army He
also tells Mr.. Titus to bring the matter TO the
attention of the army officers commanding the
troops on the Rio Grande Immediately and
that the meager appropriation made by the
Texas legislature places 1t beyond the power of
the adjutant general to adequately protect the
border people. He therefore advises Mr. Titus
and the other cattle men TO obtain proof of this
particular robbery and forward their sworn
statements to the governor tor transmission TO
the President
