When the people of Fort Worth hold public
meeting to make up purse to buy new rail-
way, locate a mandatory or start a Spring
Palace. the Dallas newspapers speak OF the
meeting as mite sociables.'' The Post would
like to see few of this kind of Unite sociables''

If the Post can only arouse its people
to the Importance of Unite sociables, -
that paper will perform a work whose
effects will be seen in the progress of its
city.
Twelve years ago Dallas was a city with
telegraph lines, wholesale houses, street
railroads, banks, daily newspapers. COM
presses, elevators, and was the second
most important railroad center of the
state; twelve years ago Fort Worth was
q hamlet without connection with the
outside world save by the ox-cart.
Dallas papers and people talked then
as they do now of the Unite sociab.e''
which Fort Worth instituted to secure its
first railroad.
Twelve years ago Dallas was ten times
greater than Fort Worth ia all that con-
stitutes municipal existence; in popula-
ton, trade, wealth, prospects.
But the Unite sociable' idea has
fastened itself onto the Fort Worth mind
and behold.
Fort Worth is the grand railroad center
not only of North Texas, not only. of
Texas, but of the entire Southwest.
Fort Worth has been made the head
quarters Of n railway postal division that
includes New Orleans, Little Rock, Gal
weston and Dallas; Fort Worth has been

one-tenth the population of Dallas to
five-sixths of the population of Dallas;
Fort Worth wholesalers have order
books which hold the names of merchants

Rev William Cleveland, brother of
President Cleveland, was recently pro-
posed as pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Southampton, L. 1. When a
vote was taken, however, after Mr..
Cleveland had occupied the pulpit for
several Sundays, he was rejected by q
vote of eighty TO thirty. It is asserted
that the cause of Mr.. Cleveland's rejec-
ton was the fact that he has a pretty
wife, whose fine soprano voice in the con-
gregetion robbed the choir Of all its at
fractions.

NEWS AND NOTES.

The maple sugar harvest has begun in
California. The sugar is declared TO be
nearly as delicious as the New England
article.
An orange grove of so 900 trees is to
be planted in Pomona Valley, Cal. by a

1t will be the largest in the world.
Australia has no wheat for export, but

Half century ago it was considered
disgraceful for Turkish woman to know
how to read. Now the sultan himself
has established two schools for girls in
Constantinople.
The growth of the Grant monument
fund is now SO slow as scarcely to be a
growth at all. Fitful contributions of a
few dollars are received now and then i,
but practically the collection of funds for
this purpose mas ceased.
The newest thing in crests or mono
grams is to put them down at the bottom
of the note paper instead of at the top as
heretofore, the chosen corner being the
right hand one. The effect is strange
and rather suggests the writer having
made a mistake and begun his letter
topsy-turvy.
A "cat reception is the latest form of
entertainment among the young girls Of
New York. 1t resembles the ordinary 3
o'clock tea, only each one brings her cat
along newly washed and decorated with
her favorite colored ribbon. The girl
having the prettiest pet receives prize,
and the merits of the various animals are
critically discussed.
The ballet girls of New York intend to
form mutual protection association to
guard against the wiles of impecunious
managers who start out upon the road
with companies and abandon the mem
bers at distance from home. There is
no doubt that the terpsichorean artistD
can work any kind of a combination of
that sort successfully. Ballet girls are
certainly great kiekers.
The ingenious plan proposed by Ber-
lin inventor of simple and inexpensive
elevator for private dwellings in place of
the ordinary staircase has attracted some
attention as long-feIt deslderatum. 1t
is on the principle of the inclined rail-
way, and the motive power is furnished
by the city water, which is applied in the
cellar, eaen night mas It's separate chalf,
so that, for example, one person can
ascend from the first to the second story
while another is on his way from the
second to the third, or still another is
descending from the fifth to the fourth.
The chair, being only of the width of the
human body, requires but little space,
and still leaves free passage for any
who wish to walk up or down, instead of
riding. 1t is set in motion by a simple
pressure upon one of its arms, while
after it has been used it slides back to
the bottom step, its descent being regu-
lated in such manner that the carrying
of passenger is matter of entire
safety. The motive power is, of course,
more or less expensive, according to the
cost of water, this being, it is stated, in
Berlin at the rate of a little more than
one-tenth of cent only for each trip.

THE STORY OF GRUmBLE TONE.

There was boy named Grumbie Tone, who ran
away to sea;
''I1n sick of things land,' he said, ''as sick
as can be!
A life upon the bounding wave will suit lad
like nIeI''
The seething ocean billows failed to stimulate
his mirth,
For he did not like the vessel, the dizzy roll
ing berth.
And he thought the sea was almost as unpleasant
as the earth.
He wandered into foreign lands, ne saw each
wLndrous sight,
But nothing that he heard or saw seemed Just
exactly right;
And so he iouTneyed on and on, still seeking for
delight.
he talked with kings and ladies fair, he dined in
courts, they say,
But always found the people dull, and longed to
get away
To search for that mysterious land where he
should like to stay.
He wandered over all the world, his hair grew
white as snow;
He reached that final bourne at last, where all of
must go;
But never found the land he sought. The reason
would you knowf
The reason was that, north or south, where er
his steps were bent,
On land or sea, in court or hall, he found but
discomfort;
For he took his disposition with him everywhere
heWent.

Murder in the second Degree.

Special to the Gazette.
GREENyILLE, Tex, Feb. % The
trial Of Thomas Brumley, charged with
the murder of Isaac McAdams in this
county, in September, 1884. has occupied
nearly three DAYS of the Hunt district
court, and resulted to-day in a verdict OF
murder in the second degree, and Bru:n-
ley's punishment was assessed at ten
years in the penitentiary. The killing
grew out of a feud between the families
aud friends Of the two parties. The de-
PENDANT was convicted heretofore and
given twenty wears, but the Judgment
was reversed by the court of appeals, and
he was admitted to bail on $4,000 bond. A
new trial was to-day refused.

TIE TEXAS G. A. 3.

The state encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, which has been in
session in this city during the last tive
days, was an occasion of more than local
or passing interest. The avowed pur-
poses and methods of this organization
are benevolent and commendable. They
look TO the preservation of friendships
formed ia times that tried men s souls,
and to the aid of Federal veterans or
their families, whom misfortune has rem
dered helpless. From the organization
or reunion of the soldiers on either side
of the civil struggle, no danger is to be
unprecedented. No bitter memories are
revived by starting up the camp fires;
with the men who did the fighting on the
field, the war ended at Appomattox.
The 200 representatives who composed
the state encampment of the Grand Army
OF the Republic are with perhaps very
few exceptions men Of high standing in
the communities in which they live
They are, in the main, business men

perity of the state. 1t is believed that
among them is not one who has been a
detFaetor of the state, or an agitator of
sectional issues. This is said because it is
true and because it is desired to show the
outside world that in Texas, among re-
putable citizens, no trace of sectional
discord exists.
The eneampment did a graceful and
a proper act by resolving to withhold its
Endorsement, as an organization, or as
individuals, while in session in Fort
Worth of applicants for Federal office.
1t thus vindieated it's claim to non-po-
litical organization, and set an example
that deserves to be followed everywhere.

One Nan Killed and Another Badly Wounded
By the Robbers.
DELANo, CAL. Feb. 23.-As train No.
II left Pixley last evening five men
boarded it. They went on the engine
and two of them covered the engineer and
fireman with revolvers, aud when about
two miles from the station the train was
brought TO stop. The other three men
then went to the express ear and ordered
the messenger to open his box, covering
him at the same time with Tevolvers.
Dynamite bombs were exploded under
the car, and during the excitement sew
eral passengers ran toward the front.
Two of them were shot, E. s. Bently Of
Modesto probably fatally wounded and
Charles Gabert of Roso killed instantly.
The train ran back to Pixley, where the
news was left. The passenger coaches
were not molested.
Another account states that but two
men were concerned in the robbery, and
that while one remained on the engine
the other made his way to the express
car, and by exploding bombs under the
car so frightened the messengers that
they speedily opened the door. Bently
vino is probably fatally wounded, is

cured by the robbers is unknown. a

A PARApHRAsE OF SENECA.

Happy the man that, when his day is done,
Lies down 70 sleep with nothing to regret
The battle he has fought may not be won
The fame he sought be Just as feeting yet;
Folding at last his hands upon his breast,
Happy.is he if, hoary and forspent,
BE sinks into the last. eternal rest,
Breathing these only words, ''I am content. ,
But happier he, that while his blood is warm,
Sees hopes and friendships dead about hin
lie
Bears his bear breast to envy's bitter storm
Nor shuns the poison barbs of calumny;
And mid IL all stands sturdy and elate.
Girt only in the armor God hath meant
For him who meath the baffetings of fate
Can say to God and man. Il am content.''

Woman Shot to Death and Her Throat After
wards Cut in the Presence of Her Daughter.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Feb. 2S.-News
was received here Thursday night of the
brutal murder of white woman in Ale
ghany county. The husband of Mrs.
Rachael Emery, who was a very indus
trious farmer, died four months ago leav-
ing with her two children, one young
man and the other little girl about pine
years old. Tuesday night while young
Emery was away from the house Mrs.
Emery awoke to find two masked men in
her chamber She sprang from her bed,
jerked a large revolver from a bureau
drawer, but was disarmed and shot
through the brains. Then while she lay
upon the floor dying the men fired two
other loads into her heart. Apparently
not satisfied the wretehes stamped upon
her face with their feet, and with bowie
knives cut her throat from ear to ear.
When the first pistol shot was fired it
awakened the child who was commanded
TO lie quiet under penalty of death. They
then consulted about the life of the little
girl and decided to do her no harm. The
child tells the story as related. The rob-
bers made a complete search of the house
and carried of $500. No arrests made.

THE New York Herald pays just trib-
gray in its reference to the encourage
ment given to the cause of the Confeder-
ate home by the veterans of the North:
Ever since the war the people of the South
have been proud and sensitive regarding tie
broken veterans. The soldiers of the lost cause
crippled, pauperized and prematurely aged
have borne their sufferings in silence. Want has
gnawed at their vitals, and yet no word of COM
plant could be wrung from their lips. But now
they turn with a regenerated confidence to the
people of the North. They are not beggars, they
are brothers. And the first 10 answer the call
from Texas are the late soldiers of the North.
There is no mawkishness on either side, but a
manly tenderness and patriotism that reflect
honor upon the American nationality.
