United at Last.

Among the Oalifornians who at
tended the Republican convention
was Frank r.. Goodwin. On the
way East, members OF the party
exchanged personal "reminiscences
and Goodwin told his story. The
last time he had been in Chicago
was when he was ~ years old. His
family had lived in Baraboo, Wis,
and when his father died he had
started with his mother to New
York. In the crowded railroad sta
tion in Chicago he had become sep
arated from his mother. BY mis-
take he got into an excursion train
for Niagara Falls and was carried
to Buffalo. There a benevolent
man in the station helped him to
New York, where he hoped to find
his mother. He did not find her
nor any of his relatives, but got
work as errand boy in store and
supported himself for six years.
Then he went West to look for his
mother, caught the California fever
and turned up in a miners camp
on the coast. He struck "pay dirt,
invested his earnings in San Fran
cisco and made money rapidly. lie
had written often to people in Chi
cago and elsewhere to ask about
his mother, and now he was coming
East to look for her.
Goodwin was in the convention
the day Harrison was nominated.
Just as he was coming out a patrol
wagon went By with an old woman
In II. The police we're taxing her
to the poorhouse. Goodwin look
ed at her, stopped the wagon and
found his mother. Sunday he start
ed for San Francisco with her.

THE WAY TO WIN.

If on the field of love you fall,
With smiles conceal your pain;
Be not to love too sure a thrall,
But lightly wear his chain.
Don't kiss the hem Of Beauty's gown,
Or tremble at her tear,
And when caprices weigh you down,
A word within your ear;
Another lass, another lass,
With laughing eyes and bright
Make love to her,
And trust me, SIT,
Twill set your wrongs Alright.
Whene'er a sweetheart proves unkind
And greets you with frown,
Or laughs your passion to the wind,
The talk of all the town,
Plead not your cause on bended knee
And murmured sghs prolong,
But gather from my minstrelsy
The burden Of my song
Another lass, another Lass
There's always beauty by
Make love to her,
And trust me, sir,
Twill clear the clouded sky.

LAMpAsAs, March 31.-This morning
your correspondent called on John T.
Witt in his camp at Hancock Spring, en-
gIneer in charge of the corps which has
been surveying line from Llano to this
place, and learned from him the following
concerning the work done by him:
Beginning at Llano he run line
nine miles to a gap in the mountains in
the directions of Fredericksburg, in order
to connect with the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass. He then came back to
Llano and run line from there to the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe depot in
Lampasas, and found practicable route
On which the earth work will be light. At
the Colorado river, he found fine bridge
site, with a natural granite pier on this
side of the river. Mr.. Witt said he thought
road would bs built from here to
Llano at an early day. In speaking Of
the prospects for Lampasas, he said that
he heard of Lampasas Syringe, but
thought it like some of the numerous
wells which are being so industriously ad-
vertised. But after seeing them, he is
fully convinced that the place cannot be
kept down. He disbanded his corps this
morning and left for Dallas. The Hanna
springs are being greatly improved at a
cost of about $4,000.

DALLAS, March 31.-Dallas hes secured
two new players for her professional nine,
and is now ready to meet all corners.
These are Cleary Cross, of the Metropol-
itans, who will guard third base, and Dug
Crothers, of St. Louis, who will tndeavor
to strike the batter out. To NOR
row at the park in Oak Cliff,
Dallas will meet the amateurs
of Denison. OF course it is expected that
the White Stockings will wipe up the
earth with the Denison boys; yet, there
are some who predict that the Dallas pa
pers will not have glaring headlines in to-
morrow's issue about the game.
The meeting of the press entertain
ment committee did not take place this
morning. There was no one to meet.
The county immigration meeting went
by default to-day. immigration and
such matters rarely present themselves to
the Dallas mind. 1t is lunOre6 on the
streets that the Dallas brewery is consid-
ering the feasibility of removing to Fort
WORTH. 1t is said that much correspond =
ence has passed on the subject between
the brewery and Fort Worth parties.

GATEsvILLE Tex, March 3l.-The sad
vertising party" given by the ladies of
Gainesville, for the benefit of the Presby
terrain church, was the grandest social
event of the season. The receipts of the
occasion were $19330.
The work ON the reformatory well has
been for several days delayed on account
of the sand caving in 50 badly. They are
now waiting until the casing arrives from
ST. Louis before they can proceed.
1t is confidently believed that petroleum
oil will be found in paying quantities few
feet deeper. The we'll is now $50 feet
deep, and the water is within fifteen feet
of flowing out. The reformatory is COM
pleted above the second story. Con-
tractor j. B. Smith, Notwithstanding the
cold, raihy weather, has made rapid head
way with the work. There are thirty-fve
hands employed on the buildings.
In Justice Bain's court this week, among
other things, the examining trial of j. l..
Price, j. D. Long and Blank Huff, charged
with cutting the wire fence of Mr.. F. M.
Robinson, was completed, and said parties
were bound over in the sum of $3.50 each
to await the action of the grand jury.
There seems to be two factions in the
community in which the above parties
live. While one side condemns, the other
sympathizes. No little excitement pre-
walls among them.
