Correspondence Of the Gazette.
Cisco, Tx, Oct. s.-The action Of the
Democratic county convention in not
nominating and putting in the field a
ticket Of any kind meets with the hearty
Endorsement of the people and OF the
Democratic party.
A fine rain commenced to fall last
night, and to-day the face of nature pre-
sents a refreshed look.
Farmers speak encouragingly OF the
future, and think the bedrock OF the
hard times has been reached. When the
those who were wise planted millet, etc,
for feed crops, and now 1t is thought that
there will be plenty of such feed raised
to carry stock through the winter and
last until another crop can be made.
Early in the season, when IL became ap-
parent that the grain crop would be a
failure, very many farmers and others
went away from here to other counties
and towns and sought employment, by
which they provided means for the sup
port Of their families, which results Of
their labor, together with their cotton,
wool, hides and cattle, Will be sufficient
to keep the wolf from the door, except In
few isolated cases, until another crop
can be made. Altogether the outlook for
the Western country is nothing likeas bad
as 1t Is painted. Droughts as bad have
occurred In Kansas and Illinois, only
Texas never took the pains 70 herald forth
the facts, as these states, for selfish pur-
poses, ihave seen 1T 10 do IN her case.
Time covers up all things, and the grass
is now growing luxnriantly over the
grave Of the late drought In Texas.
Cisco is recovering from the unpre-
cedented summer dullnese, and mer-
chants report business satisfactory every
thing considered. Cotton Is coming IN,

The Daughters of Queen Victoria.

All these ladies lead very dull and hum
drum lives They are too high to find
equals in society; they must be surrounded
with a certain degree of state and cere-
mony; they have their people in waiting;
every body courtesies or kotows to them.
But this is the extent of their grandeur.
Their incomes are not TO be compared with
the revenues OF the nobility; their jewels
and toilets are inferior to the trappings of
many of the ladies who wait on them; they
have no great estates, or mansions even,
but must put up with apartments in some
half-deserted palace; and the spectacle they
present of impoverished royalty is pitiable
rather than dignifed The nation grudges
them their allowance and threatens not to
support their children. The demand for a
dowry is fought by the Radicals at each
successive marriage, and the more obscure
they remain the better the chance OF their
portion being paid. The English, perhaps,
are still willing TO be taxed for the state OF
the sovereign and of the heir to the throne,
but not for the support of the royal rela-
tives, whose existence is a burden to the ma
tion and can never be benefit
On the whole, the fate of these ladies,
Dorn in a palace, but not to palatial fort,
unes, is far from enviable. None of them
possesses natural gifts or attractions suffi-
Gent to compensate for the lack of wealth
anu influence, or to ornament their places
or confer a personal distinction None will
Ina Ae names or careers like those of the
famous princesses of history They stand
in the light of the throne but have none Of
its lustre. They are set up on a pinnacle
without qualities or even circumstances to
attract the admiration which their position
demands, and without which royal rank,
especially for a woman, is only an exposure
and n mcckery. Conspicuous without

There seems a curious analogy between

quites and wild-rose bushes, with an under
growth of brambies, cover whole hillsides
Cactus thickets make the ravines almost i'm

have a marvellous adaptation for drawing
moisture from the arid soil; but the chief
secret of their survival is perhaps their arm

q macb-disputed claim to existence.
Near Cerritos in the ella valley, a plan
tation of Il, 900 young chestnut trees were
destroyed by enawing and browsing Sver-

IN EXILE.

Some day may retake the road
To Dreamland's sweet Oblivion,
Though now l keep my bare abode
In streets my late companions shun
To hooks below the greenwood tree
They call and call; in sweet disguise
OF bloom and song they beckon me,
And lure me in each maiden's eyes.
But nights they leave their haunts and
throng
About me. When my tasks are done
Some day-I'l put them into song,
And find my happy country won
