THE OLD HOME ON THE NEW
STREET.
DINAH MARIA CRAIK.

It used to be so quiet,
1t looked so pretty and green;
The laTks hymned high in its clear blue sky
With tnrushes' notes between.
And from its doors and windows
Life's morning songs were heard,
As pure as bluest heaven,
AS blithe as any bird.
Can those be the selfsame windows,
And that the very door?
And this full street our green lane, where feet
Once walked that will walk no more?
And that old grapevine, struggling
To put forth town bred leaves.
Did once, once gather its clusters
Beneath our happy caves!
A poor old house of my girlhood!
strange, ghost-haunted way!
Here street by street the tall mansions meet,
But the hedgeroYs, white with May,
the scents Of the August evenings,
The nightingale'S soft June song.
Gone, gonel All are dead and departed,
Like the days when we were young.
Yet by the old house linger,
And my heart grows faint and weak;
The carriages roar like a sea without shore,
And the railway engines shrek;
And I'm tired, tired tired of the noises,
With the lifelong silence below;
And almost wish had followed
The way all the rest cid go.
And would had tears, but they come not,
The smooth smiles come instead,
Oh. the careless words that cut like sworQsl
Oh, the stones that we get for breadl
So take up the old, old burden
Long carrying makes it sweet;
And silently go on my journey
To the House where all paths meet.

Wooden Underclothing.
Herald Of Health


Among the many means by which
we seek to guard ourseles from the
effects Of chill there is one which
hardly, even now, receives su fficient
attention, the use OF wooden under
clothing, except in the very hottest
weather. The majority of persons of
the male sex do, indeed, show their
appreciation of its wholesome quail
ties; but there remains considerable
moiety OF these, and q far greater
number of women and children, who
prefer an undersuit of smooth, but
relatively nleagre linen. Yet the
superior advantages of wearing wool
next the skin are easily apparent.
They do not depend merely on its
greater warmth and closeness of ap-
plication. 1t is further capable, &C.

THE TEXAS COTTON CROP
VERY BADLY DAMAGED by THE
RECENT STORM.
Average Not Much short of Last
Year, but the Value Greatly
Deprecated.

GALVESTON, TEX, October 5.-Ever
since the great storm OF August 2Oth,
which swept over South Texas and did
such extensive damage to Galveston,
San Antonio and other points, reports
have been constantly arriving telling
of the damage to the cotton plant
through that belt lying between Gal
weston and San Antonio, distance OF
$50 miles. This belt embraces the fol-
lowing impol tant cotton counties;
Beaver, Oomal, Guadaloupe, Galliwell,
Gonzales, Wilson, Keavne, Dewitt,
Lsvaca, Goliad, Victoria, Jackson,
Wharton, Colorado and Fort Bend,
Throughout this large district the
great storm beat the iipened cotton to
the ground, and thus discolored it and
damaged the fiber, reducing it from
good middIing and middliDg to good
ordinary and, ordinary, making an av-
elage difference to the planter OF over
2 cents per pound. Several thousand
bales OF this spoiled and dirty staple
have been marketed here during the
last two weeks, and is continually
coming in. 1t grades very low. Since
the great August storm that rich cot
ton strip lying Immediately north OF
the district embraced in the above
counties has received serious set back
by heavy, continuous rains during the
last week in September. Reports from
b shop, Fayette, Lee, Washington,
Waller, Milan, Robertson, Brfzo1,
Grimes, Montgomery aud Rusk coun-
ties, all speak of too much rain and
damage to the staple ready for picking
From these counties also comes news
that wet weather has propagated the
cotton worm by the millions, and late
budding bolls are Icing consumed.
Last years cotton crop in Texas ag-
eregated l,S69,20 bales, valued at
$54, 76S,000. Thirty days agn the cot
ton trade Of the South and East esti-
mated the seasons output for Texas at
100000 bales, but the leading cotton
buyers and handlers are rapidly revis-
ing and reducing this estimate. A
majority of them now place the crop
at about last years output, while
some put 1t at 100000 bales less, The
unusual amount Of low grade staple
this season will, according TO latest
estimates, make d fference OF several
million dollars in favor Of last year.
yield in point Of value. This oondi-
ton OF cotton in Texas is as unex-
pected ss it is unsatisfactory to the
trade generally.

LYNCHED BY MASKED MEN
THE LOGAN FAMILY MURDERER
HANGED BY A MOB.
Insisted to the Last That He Was
InnOcent-0ther Crimes and
Casualties.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, October Or. p.
Wallace, the murderer OF the Logan
family Of Eve perfons-father, mother
and three children-was taken from
the Jail at Steeleville last night by
mob and lynched. The guilty man
had been taken to Steeleville from
Cuba, Mo-, where the horrid crime
had been perpetrRted, for safe keep
ing, for fear that he would be summa-
rily dealt with by the enraged citizens
OF Cuba. Friday morning, October
1st, mob gained entrance to the jail,
took Wallace, dragged him from his
cell and strung him up. He was cut
down after bang allowed to hang for
short time in order that confession
might be forced from him. He refused
to own up to the crime, and before
the crowd could hang him up again
the Sheriff gained possession oil hlm
and hurried him back to his cell. Inc
crowd was prevailed upon to dispense,
and it was supposed that the law
would be allowed to take its own
course. Last night however, second
and more successful attempt was made
10 mete ont justice to the murderer.
A masked mob Of about 100
men quietly gathered around the
iail at midnight and demanded en-
trance OF the jailer. This was refused,
and the mob battered down the doors.
A delegation of their members was
rent to bring ont the prisoner, while
Others were detailed to guard the roads
leading 10 the scene. Wallace was
awakened from his s'eep, dragged out
by the infatuated mob aud asked II he
had any thing to say. He responded
by strongly protecting his innocence,
still adhering to the story that it was
the negro Vaughn who was guilty.
This angered the mob more than ever,
and with a shout they produced a
rope, one end OF which they placed
around the murderer's neck the other
end was thrown over the limb OF a
tree standing near the Jail. The pris-
oner still protested his innocence aud
plead for mercy, but without avail.
Strong hands grasped the rope and
Wallace's body swung into the air.
Another chance was not given him to
confess, and in a few minutes his
body was corpse. The mob then
dispersed and the Jail officers cut
down and took possession OF the body.
There is NO clue to the leaders or the
participants in the lynching.
