his listeners by his performances on the
violin and piano. An account says of
him: sHe is Just seven years old, and,
owing to his long curls, which he will

When he was four years old his father
found him reproducing on the piano the
airs he had heard some one play. and
from that time until little violin was

Senator Stanford's Affection.
JFrom the Washington Post. I


News comes from Europe that Senator
Stanford, who has been there for some
time, is the victim of an extraordinary
disease. He cannot sleep when he
wants to and he cannot keep awake
when he wants to. He can hardly ever
be said to be awake and hardly ever
asleep, but perpetually oscillating be-
tween the two conditions. He does not
sleep more than a minute or two at a
time Gf we may call it sleep for want
OF better word, somnambulism might
be more nearly corrcct) and his eyes
don't remain open or his senses active
for more than the same length of time
mt stretch.
He is never allowed to walk alone,
for if he tried it he would be sure to
fall, the somnolence coming upon him
without notice. Sticking pins in him
is of no use, as he dozes off.
If he starts to talk with you he may
get through with a few sentences and
then be cut off in the midst of an un-
finished word, but when he awakens to
consciousness again he has the knack of
taking up the talk precisely where he
left off
To use a printers phrase, his Sleep
ing, his walking, his talking, and his
thinking are all done in very s'short
takes" He has no pain.

III commenced the last struggle of the
gaA,son. Travis received shot and
fell yhile cheering on his men. When
he dropped n Mexican officer rushed for
ward to despatch him. Summoning all
his powers for final effort, Travis met
his assailant with thrust Of his sword
and both expired together. The brave
defenders of the fort, overborne by null
titudes and unable in the throng to load
their arms, continued the conflict with
the butts of their rifles until only seven
men were left, and these were refused
quarter. OF all the persons in the fort
but two were spared-a Mrs. Dickinson
and colored servant belonging to Col.
Travis. Major Evans was shot while in
the act OF firing train to explode the
magazine, by order of Travis. Bowie,
who had been confined to his room for
several days by sickness, was butchered
III his bed and his remains savagely mu-
tilated. The rudest form of sepulture
was denied the dead. Their bodies were
stripped, thrown into heap and burn
ed. Masses of the enemy lay strewn
around the form of the bold, eccentric
Crockett. The force hurled against the
weak foit and feeble garrison was not
less than 1000 men, composed of the
flower of Mexican soldiery. Their num-
Der of killed was estimated at 800.
After the defeat of the Mexicans at
San Jacinto, the bones of the slain were
gathered together in San Antonio and
buried. Some years after monument
was erected to their memory OF Austin.
1t was composed of limestone from the
Alamo, and stood on the porch of the old
State Capitol, being almost entirely de-
stroyed when that building was burned,
several years since. The portion of the
monument which has been preserved is
the base, broken into two pieces, and in
his letter to Commissioner Foster, Judge
White expresses the opinion that this is
all that remains Of the original monu-
ment. The relics will be accorded fit
ting place in the new State Capitol.

The Two Lives.


Among the lonely hills they played;
No other BARNS they ever knew;
A little lad, little maid,
In sweet companionship they grew.
They played among the ferns and rocks
A childish comedy Of life
Kept house and MIXED the crimson docks
q And called each other man and wife.
They went to school; they used to 60
With arms about each other laid;
Their fiaxen heads, in rain or snow,
Were sheltered by single plaid
And so-and SO 1t came to pass
They loved each other ere they know;
His heart was like blade O. grass,
And hers was like its drop O dew.
The years went by; the changeful years
Brought larger life, and toll for life;
They parted in the dusk with tears
They called each other man and wife
They married-she another man,
And he, in time, another maid;
The story ends as it began
Among the lonely hills-they playedi

DEFENSE OF THE ALAMO.
The Massacre Where Travis, Bowie
and Crockett Fell.

Galveston Special to st. Louis Republican,
The recent presentation at Austin by
John Z. White. one of the Judges of
the Court of Appeals, to l.. l.. Foster,
Commissioners of the State Bureau of
Statistics and History, of portion of
the monument erected to commemorate
the memory of TIE defenders of the
Alamo, recalls celebrated link in the
cha II of Texas history.
The Alamo was located in the plaza
of San Antonio, and after the capture
of that city by the Texans in 1886 was
garrisoned by II force under command
of Col. U. Barrett Travis until it was
formally invested by the Mexican army
commanded in person by Santa Ana.
President-General of that Republic.
When first besieged Travis had about
140 men, among whom were Col. James
Bowie, Dtvy Crockett and Col. John Il.
Bonham, a gallant young South Caro-
linian. On the LIST OF March, 1886.
Capt. |. w. Smith, of Gonzales, and
thirty-two men made their way through
the enemy's lines in spite of the strict
investment, and reinforced the garrison.
The MeXicans We're well appraised of the
Couuitlou VI ttit ltAdS loTctS, ana an
unconditional surrender was demanded
by Santa Ann, which was refused. Real
and feigned attacks, heavy lombard
ment and the necessity of procuring
wood and water outside the fort wore
down the physical energies of the gar
rison, but could not subdue its spirit
Soon after midnight on the 9th of
March. 1886, being the eleventh day of
the assault, the Mexican army, com
manded by Santa Ana i'll person, sur

Danish Dairy Farming.

Denmark appears to be the great dairy
farming country, the number of COWS on
Danish soil being, according to the sta
tistics about 900, 900, or not much short
of one COW for every two heads of popu-
lation. That the number is still rapidly
increasing may be inferred from the fact
that, whereas in the five years ending in
1882 the annual export of butter aver
aged only 100000 pounds it reached
last year 100000 pounds. Most of
the dairios are stated to be furnished
with cream separators and organized on
the new system; but the most striking
feature of the case is the great extension
of the cooperative system in Denmark,
to this particular industry. There are
now in this little country 200 co-opera-
tive dairIes, they have been established
by the aid of loans, for which the mem.
bers one and all are responsible in pro-
portion to the number of cows they sign
for. Arrangements are made under
which these loans are repaid in II years,
after which each deliverer of milk will
possess share. A system introduced
only two years ago, under which paying
for the milk is regulated by the quaint
ty of cream contained in it, is said to
have been found in practice to be an ex-
cellent means of awakening interest in
the quality and thus making the farm
ers careful. Even in this country of
diaries, however, there is often practi-
cal difficulty in getting first rate hands.
Many of the younger hands, we learn,
endeavor to improve themselves by at
attending the five months course of in
struction at Ladalund Farm, where they
are taught writing, bookkeeping, me-
chanics, physics, chemistry, and anato-
my of domestic animals together with
the practical testing of milk. London
