SEDEIGORE,

soNo-BY t. y. WILSON.
She smiled on me in days Of yore,
But now she smiles on Sednigore.
In the sweet days of Aud Lang Syne
fondly dreamed I'd with her shine,
But now, from what Mrs. Walker says,
She loves the man who has oranges.
She smiled on me in days of yore,
But now she smiles on Sednigore.
In former days my songs I'd sing,
And they'd my Beauty please,
But now they fall coldly on her ear,
For she goes for the man with goobor peas,
She smiled on me in days of yore,
But now she smiles on Sednigore.
would not think he'd have the luck
To win my sweet and pretty duck;
His looks, think, are commonplace
Compared to her sweet, pretty face.
She smiled on me in days of yore
But now she smiles on Sednigore.
1 would not think that she
Would give him any show;
For that he is too thin
oue Very wen may huoW.
She smiled on me in days of yore,
But now she smiles on Sednigore.
Sweet song, go forth on wings of love,
On thy sweet mission grand
And save my beauty from his clutch
Who keeps the peanut stand.
And like the shamrock grand on the Emer-
aid Isle,
May my Beauty sweetly on me smile.
Cease to smile on Sednigore,
And smile on me forevermore!
As truthful reporter, we regret to have
to mar the romance of the above by an anec-
dote which was told us, which indicates
that the writer, like some other more emil
nent bards, treated love as more of senti-
ment than reality. 1t seems minister
once CHANGED to be in the Office of the insti-
tuition, and the poet was told that now was
the accepted time for him to be welded to
his lady love, and was assured that all
things were ready. Would it be believed?
He forthwith became terribly frightened,
and incontinently ''made himself scarce!"
This might be held to indicate that he was
not. after all, very deeply in earnestsn his
amatory effusion. Or perchance it merely
showed n realization of the responsibility,
which others, outside of insane asylums,
might do well to cultivate.

From Bell County.
CoPPERAs Cow, May 81, 1886,

COfffitAh 1--we, -hhl ga ANSN'
Ed, FRKE PRRss-Haying so re-
Gently arrived in this vicinity, l will
give you a description Of our village
instead OF news
Copperas Cove is situated on the
Gull, Colorado & Santa Fe railroad,
thirty miles west OF Bolton, near tho
line OF Bell and Coryell counties,
This section is well stocked with
cattle cattle and sheep, and is we'll
adapted TO stock raising, the country
being somewhat broken, furnishing
clear, running "branches" and plenty
of coarse grass.
There are farms, in size from fifty
10 two hundred acres, on which an
abundance of corn and small grain is
raised; tho farmers, however, depend
chiefly upon cotton for their supplies.
This village contains six business
houses, including two drugstores.
Two resident physicians sustain
themselves, but how l do not know,
this being one OF the Lealthiest sec
tons in Texas.
The Grange and Masonic fraterni-
ties meet stately in their respective
halls.
We have a good school building.
A private school is in progress,
under the management of lady
teacher.
The morality Of this village is un-
surpassed.
No saloon is allowed.
Very respectfully,

IIy,, pIyures on A Dark Ground.

A lunAtie asylum cannot well be deemed
a sportiye scene, yet even there may be
found some CLEANS OF sunshine, some views
Of tho lighter and brighter side OF human
ity. In proof. take the following remihiS-
eenee of our late visit to the Asylum near
Austin.
A viii be seen by the following lines,
tho ''tender passion" Is not unknown with
in these gloomy precincts, There Is little
history connected with the verses which
needs to DO related in order to proper I'M
dsrstanding Of the same. The author Is an
inmate of DIR. Denton's boarding house.

something Of an artist.

of winning her preference. But as not I'M
usually happens, he is afflicted with tho
pangs OF jealousy. There is-he is made
to beliove-a rival in the city. where the
girl sometimes goes on errands, in tho
guise of the keeper of peanut and fruit
stand, yclept "sednigore," who, 1t is whis-
pered to the bard, seeks to lure her afIec-
tons from him by presents of the commo-
dities in which he deals. Such is the trouble
which inspires the following eifusion, which
really possesses considerable poetic merit.
1t appears to DO quite serious, and yet it
will be noticed there is vein of humor
running through it:

Capt. Ferg. Kyle for U. s. Marshall.

We understand that our old friend
and fellow.citizen, Capt Ferg. Kyle,
is an applicant for the Office of United
States Marshall, made vacant by the
lamented death of Col. Jackman.
Without intending any disparage-
ment to any other applicant, we are
impressed with the conviction that
Capt. Kyle's appointment to said po-
sition is one eminently fit to be made.
He is gentleman of large experience
in public affairs, good judge ofmen
and how to deal with them, combin-
ing ready tact with undoubted
nerve and courage. We think, there
fore, his appointment would be cred,
table alike to the administration and
himself, and, OF course, beneficial to
the public service.

Let His Duties DE Defined.

Considerable sharp criticisms has

Sheriff Donovan, of Storey, who re-
fused to allow press reporters to in
teryiew Sol Fraakel who was in
Donavan charge under arrest
Very few Sheriffs set IN this ar
bitrary manner, but at the same
time there is no law bearing on the
case and it is still an open question
whether the Sheriff was legally
right or wrong.
The public are anxious to know
all about Sol Frankel, and further
more they are entitled to know.
The swindled creditors OF the con-
Germ will resent the action of the
Sheriff in closing the doors on the
press. A bill defining the exact
rights of public officers under such
circumstances ought t. be passed

a few grown up men may remain at

By no means, for if the above
bills are passed the State will in
crease so much IN proportion that
we will need all the members We
now have.
Such paragraphs as the one from

A WashOe Office seeker.

ED. APPEAL:-While in Reno
last Sunday | learned that VIM
Chamberlain, who used to run the
Depot Hotel is candidate for As
sistant Sergeant alarms of the AS
sembly. This surprised me very
much, but what astoDished me
more yet, was that he relied upon
the support of the Ormsby county
delegation for success.
No friend Of any part Of Ne
vada outside of Washoe county can
afford to vote for Mr.. Chamberlain
for anything. He is a regular lob
best for Washos county, and swells
up and gets red in the face like a
turkey gobbler whenever anything
for the benefit of Ormsby county is
proposed He is one OF Powning's
pets, and if elected to any position
would add one more log roller to
the Washoe county lobby.
My idea is that if Washoe wants
lobby in Carson let her paw the
expenses of the lobbiests and not
saddle the expense on the State
Ormsby, least Of any county, should
not be asked to help her.
