HOME, SWEET HOME.

why the late W. We COfCOEan sent UV6l
the Sea for Its Authors Remains.
George w. Melville, who was recent
ly nominated by the President to a
place in the Navy Department that will
give him the rank of Commodore, is
known to fame principally as one o1
the survivors of the ill.fated Jeanette
Polar expedition. His return to Amer
lea from that terrible voyage was one
of the inspiring causes that led the
rich Washington banker, w. w. Cor
coran, to have brought back to Amer
lea the remains of the sweet song
writer, John Howard Payne. 1t hap
pened this way:
When Lieutenant Melville and his
companions reached Washington after
their rescue they were given a recep-
ton by the principal citizens of the
capital. An escort met them at the
depot on their arrival, and, headed by
the famous Marine band that furnishes
the music at the White House, the pro-
cession started up Pennsylvania avenue.
1t was a bright, sunny day, and the
wide street was crowded. When the
band moved along the avenue it played
the heart-touching tune of "Home,
Sweet Home," and it filled the air with
the old-time music that has found an
echo in every heart for so many years.
In the first carriage rode Lieutenant
Melville, and with him the rich banker.
Mr.. Corcoran had known and befriend-
ed John Howard Payne in the strug-
Cling days of the song-maker, and the
tune awoke old memories in the rich
mans heart and suffuscd his eyes with
tears. He thought Of the man whose
tender lines and sweet music had
brought joy to 50 many breasts, and
remembered that his bones lay molder-
ing in foreign land, homeless even in
death.
Then and there he resolved that all
that was mortal of John Howard Payne
should find an abiding place here at
homes That night he wrote to Secre-
tary Frelinghuysen about the matter.
and the Government lent its aid
through the United States Cob pl at
TunissaRear which place the Sjnlost
forgotten graysnWas loe-..ed. eyae de-
tails were soon perfected. md one
bright june day in SO the rTnains Of
the dead poet arrival in country
and were given resting place in the
land he loved SO well. 2
Mr.. Corcoran bore all the expense
attached to the transfer, and it was the
old familiar tune ringing out along the
| avenue on that pleasant day when Mel
vile came home that first awakened il
his heart the resolve to give lasting
/ burial place to the poets remains.

Treatment of Horses.

A horse should be treated just as;
you would man or boy. My carriage
horses Jared better at the hands Of an
old Englishman who knew nothing
about a horse than any other driver l
ever had When this man asked me
how he should treat them he was told
to treat them just as he did himself
only little better: He was methodleal
in his ways. and he always fed the
horses before he fed himself. In warm
weather he wateped them whenever he
got the. chance, and in winter three
times day. Inasmuch as the. hotses
could not scratch themselves, ne gave
them a good brushing every morning.
ana it is nv rule in driving horse
that whenever | feel that L want a
drink myself also feel that the horse
may be suffering in the same, direction.

The Daily Eight.
SATURDAY, JULY. Il, 1888

GALVESTON has not forgiven San
Antonio for her defeat at Fort Worth.
The Barney Gibbs amendment still
rankles in the bosoms of the sand bar
boosters, hence such screeds as the
following:
"The report of the board of health of
the city of San Antonio for the month
of June, shows that the annual death
rate for the month was 21.S9 per 900.
This was on a suppositious population
of As, 500. AS the Mexicans and dogs
have to be counted to bring the pOpu-
lation of the Alamo City to that figure,
Evening Tribune protests that the
canine mortality should be included
in the report. But even admitting the
report to be correct it shows that the
annual death rate is much higher
than in Galveston. There was not one
day during the month when the maxi
mum temperature was not above so
degrees, and yet San Antonio claims
to be pleasant health resort! Sheol
and Panama remain to be heard
FROM"
An "annual" death rate for the
"monthr is good specimen of the
lingo that passes for press literature
down on the bar. San Antonio has
recently published her mortality
statistics for the year. If Galveston
wants to give facts the statistics are
before it as we'll as the partial state
ment cooked up to form food for ig-
norance in the above paragraph. San
Antonio with her $3.50 population
according to accurate census re-
turns of 1888, is the healthiest city of
her size in the south. Galveston
knows this just as well as she knows
that Arkansas Pass holds over the Gal
weston inlet by mighty big majority
as the coming port of Texas. Know
ing these things, makes the old os-
trich hide her head in her native
sands and try to kick dust into the
eyes of all who come within distance.
