Considerable improvements are now
made about the poorhouse in many
directions. The hydraulic pump is started
and VIII soon be put down, which, If
completed, will add greatly to the COM
fort and convenience of the establish
ment. Beds and bed clothing are also
brought daily, in considerable supply.
These are all achievements needed
years ago, but the public spirit ofbeneyo-
lenoe seems to have been in a lull and IL
required the great annal OF 1885 to
awake 1t, as 1t has most emlnently done
IN other directions of greater import
ance, which | hope will leave the most
favorable reflections In the future history
OF our country. We might well be salts

selecting the State administration, as

Suggestive oftbe late tragedy. the kill
ing Of United States Marshal Hal l..
Gosling by two convlcts, on board the
International and Great Northern trnin,
on the night OF February 81, 1885.
But yesterday his hopes beat high,
No clouds were on his active brain,
Warm hands were clasped, and the good
bye
At Austin when he took the train.
The frey chariot sped away,
When all seemed but fairy scene;
Where nought OF mortals had a say,
Nor sorrows self could intervene.
And now we hear the waters rush,
The restless Colorado ohafes below;
Out DER the rocks Its waters gush,
And itful breezes come and go.
The evening sun now leaves the eye;
The attendant stars In troops are seen,
Like meek-eyed handmaidens waiting by
The mandates OF their lovely queen.
In town and cot, In ranch and hall,
Soft sumber reigns with Silly sway.
While fancy, free from reasons thrall,
Scars on unilagging wings away.
The voiceless woods are sleeping still,
All sounds OF living things are mute,
Save from the echo haunted hill
The owl prolongs his boding boot.
But mark the contrast within that train;
Unconscious though the victim be,
BY restless Fate decreed it's plain,
Two conviots fight for liberty.
One pang but thrild his stalwart frame,

The Temperance bill" as published in
this paper varies in a material point
from the enrolled bill on file in the Office
Of the Secretary Of State. In section
three, after the word printed" in the
seventh line the following words should
be inserted: Statement Of the applicant
as hereinafter provided, or upon the
written or printed"
The reader can take the act as pub
lished in this paper and see the import
ance Of the change.
The COPY from which the law was
printed in this paper was the "State
Printers copy" after the bill was amend
ed in the Senate and passed that body,
and corresponds with that copy. The
bill went to the House and was adopted
without q single change. The question
now arises where this Interpolation or adj
ditiOn was inserted. That It is In the en-
rolled bill is certain. And thatit was not in
the printed bill after it passed the Senate
and which passed the House without
amendment IS equally certain.
There is also a slight error in the 18th
line of the same section. The word
medical should have been "meChani-
cal" This is a typographical error.
In section 10, commencing after the
word supplemental in the fourth line are
these words as published in this paper,
tO-Wit: "and all acts or parts Of acts in
conflict with the provisions Of this &C"
which do not appear in the enrolled bill.
