A Baby Gone to sleep.

Last afternoon, from the home of its
parents, Genevieve Carr, the infant
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe
Miller, was carried out to her long rest
in the arms of the great and tender
mother. The funeral services were
conducted by Doctor Garrett, of the
First Baptist church. The pail bearers
were Messrs. E. S. Morris, Dave Harrell,
George McCarty and Henry Harrison
The weather was very inclement, but
a number of friends joined the family
in the sad rites. Heavens benediction
of rain last night fell upon the new
made mound, but the spirit of the
little one basked in the endless sun
shine of heaven she is numbered with
the angels.

| ever intended to, as, your correspondent
was fully aware.
No man will say that the title of Texas
homestead, held in good faith perhaps for
| generation, should be clouded or teohni-
cally imperfect because the surveyor who
originally surveyed the same forty years
ago, more or less, was mistaken as TO the
location of county or district line or hon
estly misapprehend,d the extent of his
jurisdiction. Until recently the law re-
quired surveyor of a newly organized
county or district should procure co II
plete transcript of field notes, maps, etc.,
of his district, before he was qualified to
make legal survey. There is no means
now of telling whether this requirement
was complied with or no., in almost any
district that could be mentioned That a
title should depend on ssuch contingencies,
Is wrong Inherently; there is no sense in
permitting uncertainty in title to arise
from such causes, and general law, such
as this is, relieving all titles in the state of
any such technical imperfections is to my
mind so proper and beneticient that can
not comprehend how any one should raise
an objection. As to whether this section
benefited any corporation, or secured to it
an acre of land | am unable TO say nor has
it up TO this time ever occurred to me to in
quire or investigate.
AS to the statements made by me in this
communication, they can be verified from
the records ofmy department, all of which
are open to the public. My official acts are
now part of said record, and thereto the
closest scrutiny Is invited. This method
would be fairer to me and more enlighten-
ing to the public than hint, slur, inuendo
or insinuating query.
The official acts of the commissioner OF
the general land Office are as enduring as
important in their effects; they are liable to
Judicial review and the sharpest legal test.
The limit of my ambition is to guard we'll
the trust committed to me by the people,
and my hope is to stand Justified before
that tribunal. Now, all ask of you is to
give them an opportunity to read what l
have written, which is all have to say,
however uncandid or ungenerous your fut-
ure attentions and criticisms may be. II
feel within me peace above all earthly
dignities, still and quiet conscience"
Respectfully, RIM. HALL,
Commissioner of the General Land Office.

An Enrlish Medical Authority

Affirms that the best regimen for pre-
serving health may be summed up in
the maxim, "keep the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels active"
There is world of wisdom in the OBJ
servation. Obstinate constipation, or
costiveness, is an exciting cause OF
other diseases; and, with many per
sons of sedentary habits or occupa-
tions, this inaction Of the bowels is a
source of constant annoyance, pro-
ducing piles, prolapse of the rectum,
fistula, and various dyspeptic symp-
toms. All these are warded off, and
health is maintained, by the use of

force and is constantly begging his
