SAN DIEGO, TEX, April 26.-We have
at last had good rain, OF which we were
greatly in need, and that, with the April
showers which we have had before, has
filed all our tanks and irrigated the
lands, aud we may consequently expect
good harvests. Cotton and corn present
very good prospect.
In Collins, our neighboring town, a
very unhappy incident took place few
DAYS ago. The two men, Jose Maria Ca
dena and Andres Martinez, who were
murdered by the unknown parties, were
had people. Nevertheless, the killing, in
the way it was done, was wrong, ana an
outrage against law and order. To steal
in on persons In irons and shoot them
like dogs, at dead of night, was das-

Women as Spankers.

AoACuo bloSsSs
One of the strongest Of feminine in
stincts is to spank. The little girl OF
spanks her doll, even while the synopa-
thetic tears roll down her cheeks. She
keeps up the practice when grown to
young ladyhood upon her little brothers
and sisters, if she be fortunate enough
to have any, and from then on her child
rem and grand children receive the ben
efits, in q natural form, of an art learned
in infancy, until she goes hence to bet
ter land, and even then, perhaps, wide
field for the exercise of her powers is be-
fore her among the little angels in
heaven.
One day last week a young man saun-
tering about the National museum saw
two very pretty girls examining a large
terracotta vase which stood in the corner
ofthe room devoted to exhibits of tina
ware. In the bowl of the vase several
unclothed urchins were presented as
playing, while one little cherub, With a
chubby and dimpled form, was leaning
over the edge, evidently attempting to
reach his companions, and innocently Of
fering DIN awful temptation to spanking
feminity. The young ladies stood be-
fore the ornament for some time in ap-
parent admiration of the excellent work
manship. When suddenly a thought
seemed to strike one of them. She
looked cautiously around to see
if she was observed, and, seeing no one,
for the writer was hid behind a pillar,
and NO one else was in sight, she smiled
happily, took the glove from her right
hand, raised that member, and admins
tered to the little clay image most
thorough spanking. If it was fair
sample Of her skill in that direction her
future children are entitled to heartfelt
pity.

Strangely Decorated Graves.

Strangely Decorated Graves.
New York Sun.
An obscure path, scarcely detected in
the rank grass, leads to one of the bury
ing grounds for colored people at Wilm-
ington, N. G. Never were gathered
stranger tokens of affection or Of super
stition in resting place for the dead.
One grave that recently attracted the at
tention of visitor was that of an old
man of 80. In the center of the mound
was partly buried the bust of huge doll.
There was little marble headstona,
from which dangled the rusted frame of
child's toy wire cradle. At the base
of the stone was pair Of toy fatirons,
while at the foot Of the grave were q
pair Of andircns and q c8st-iron kettle,
and stuck in the ground huge carving
knife.
At one side of child's grave. Set in
the middle of the mound above this was
large bowl. and few plates were scat
tered about, with here and there cup
and saucer. There was also upon this
grave sugar dish and some knives and
forks. Another grave was provided with
to large pitchers, tureen, some smaller
pieces of crockery, and a kerosene lamp,
with chimney, and shade, and wick, and
oil, in readiness for Lighting. Another
mound had soup tureen, 9 collection
of knives and forks, a small Ratchet, q
pan for frying hoecake, gridiron, two
teapots, and lamp. Another had q
still larger assortment Of plates, cups
and saucers, and two huge platters. 1t was
trimmed with clam-shells, and in lamps
it was particularly rich, having row Of
three. On the next grave set of table
castors was the most prominent object.
The grave Of Baptist minister, which
was ornamented with fine headstone,
was supplied with mustache drinking
cup. On another grave were couple
Of pals and some toy figures Of horses,
