A Curious and Unexplained Fact.

Persons who have watched much with
sick people at night, or who have been
often awake at midnight from any cause.
have noticed an unusual number Of
noises at that time. Those who are not
cowardly often ascribe these to the blinds,
the cat or starting nail. But Just now
in Nevada, an old kuby Hill miner,
who has had fifteen years experience
underground, says that no has observed
one peculiar fact, that between twelve
and two o'clock in the night, IL there is
loose stone or bit Of earth in the mine,
it is sure to fall. Says he, About this
time it seems that every thing begins to
stir; and Immediately after twelve, al
though the mine has been still as tomb
before, you will hear particles of rock
and earth come tumbling down, and it
there is caving piece of ground in the
mine it is sure to give way"

TRUE HEART, GOOD NIGHT.

True heart, good night the stars that shine
The moon that sails the cloud.foamed blue
Are not more radiant or divine
Than the sweet womanhood and true
That lives in you
Go to your rest-the conscious bed
Waits open-armed its happy guest,
Listens the music Of your tread,
Yearns the soft pressure Of your breast
Go to your rest
Sweet dreams and fair, peaceful as skies
OF cloudless nights in Summers prime
BE yours--pure as the chalices,
Dew filled and fragrant with the lime,
In blossom time
Pure heart, good night II prayers avail,
When you shall bow this sunny head,
May some fair thought Of me prevail,
Some tender word for me be said
Beside your bed
Gone--save dreamy faint perfume
Blown from the roses in her hair;
The light is gone-ln deepening gloom
| whisper kisses to the air,
Climbing the stair

We doubt If any other man In Texas

yet he and his fellow prohibitiouists
were Overwhelmingly defeated, and
the defeat will not end in Mcl.ennan
county. II is black eye to prohibit

damper on prohibition feeling
throughout the state.
The issue was boldly made by the
anti-prohibitionists under the leader

the question. No appeal was made
by them TO passion and prejudi &c.
Their utterances were free from vi.

of the other side. 1ho citizens came
to the support of the senator and the
newspapers and prohibition was

This is tremendous defeat. II is
regular Waterloo.

High License.

The right Of the government TO i'm.
pose Restrictions, or, rather to levy
taxes upon the business of the coun-
try, was never denied The policy OF
doing so, however. has and will be
disputed as often as the attempt is
made or the subject is mooted. AN
the good influences in tho country are
vainly searching for some means with
which to grapple the awful sum of tho
iutemperance of the day. Men are
honestly striving to ward off from the
race aud from the government the
vast evils which threaten from this
source. In their eagerness to do this,
to accomplish this work, enthusiast
tically constituted people would rush
into the arms of greater foe than in
temperance. They would attempt the
impossible, aud in doing SO forge a
chain which would tie the citizen,
helplessly shorn of all his privileges,
to the car-wheels Of the government
or whoever or whatever set of ideas
which might for the time being be In
the ascendant. We cannot afford this.
We would be paying too much for
the whistle. We would be exchang-
ing our birthright of freedom for
mess of pottage which would soon
turn to ashes on our lips. Thank
God, we have bravo men here with
foresight enough to cipher out con
clusion In these matters and bravery
enough TO make the attempt TO stay
the fanatical course which would
force the country under the load of
these men into a despotism which
could not be shaken of in u thousand
years.
But the great evil of the excessive
use OF alcoholic stimulants must be
grappled with. There are ways and
means by which it may be controlled
and kept within bounds, but none by
which II can be destroyed. So long
as the appetite calls for 1t, and so long
as the grains and fruits of the earth
contain the principle, so long will it
be manufactured and used. Then the
only thing that can be done is to
guard and restrict 1t SO that as little
evil may accrue as possible. One OF
the most potent means of control Is to
limit the number of dealers as much
as is necessary. Say in Waco here,
let the traffic be confined to live
houses. Let the men licensed to CON
duct them be men of approved char
acter for honesty, integrity aud sobri-
ETY.. Let them pay heavy penalties
for the abuses which grow out of the
business, unsvoidsbly. Let the license
for these houses be placed at a high
figure, and let public Inspector pass
ON the quality of the liquor sold, so
that as little harm be done as possible
