SHORFNEsS OF LIFE.
B, snltann sinrrnons.


Looking over the past ages Of the
world, when generation after genera
ton were swept away, the brevity of
human existence and individual infiu.
ence becomes apparent. True, there
were many whose powers and influence
were so great that their nam and ac-
tions are still quoted But there are
millions who have lived and died and
were forgotten centuries ago; their
names live only Oh their crumbling
tombstones. Life after life has passed
away and blooming cheeks have faded.
Each has performed its portion of labor,
felt its share of pain and pleasure, and
passed to that which awaits all.
While Nature smiled through un.
changed centuries, the sun shone, the
rain tell, the trees waved with grace
and beauty, and entire phalanx of men
have passed away, and have been for
gotten as easily as the vapor that is
absorbed by the influence of the glori-
Gus rays of the sun. While we live,
Nature smiles; and when we die, the
sun still shines on our graves. This
grand universe takes no note of our de
parture. The world affords the same
attractions for US that were offered to
our ancestors; and when our names
will have been forgotten, similar pleas
ures, joys and smiles will await the
coming generations.
Only short while and time with
us as with our ancestors will end
Bye and bye the throbbing heart will
be still, and the busy brain will cease
to plan, and the active hand will lie
motlonless. Only for short time oi

Time will not stop for us. The gal
death will make for short time
will be fille1, and laughter will fal
from the lips of those who hay,
loved us tenaerly. Joy will take th,
place of mourning, ard we will be for

This life thus brief, thus unimpor

mourning is never heard, where tn
perfect existence denied here is prom

Rather Funny, But True.

In this wet season it may appear
funny for anyone to write of the best
means of securing water, but as JOS
eph, in the years of plenty, prepared
for famine, SO wise men, even in the
abundance of water, consider the evils
of the drought and the best means Of
avoiding them. This is of paramount
Importance to all, but more especially
to the farmers and the ranchmen, who
are vitality interested in it, for their
crops flourish while others fail, and
their cattle thrive while others fall
famished by the way-side. OF course
to adopt this system means the outlay
of capital, but the results are most re-
munerative, and the investment pro-
duces a rich dividend. Ranchmen and
farmers should therefore not fail to
call upon the F. F. Collins Manufac-
turing company at their office and
works, on West Houston street, next
to the bridge. There they will be
courteously received, shown this sys-
tenn, and, if desired, estimate of the
expense furnished them. They can
also look around the works and will
see many things of especial value and
interest to them.

A Narrow Escape.

This morning Deputy Marshal Car
denas was awakened from his sleep
by shrill screams, and on gong to
the p lace from whence they came, he
found his adopted daughter, Mary's
dress on fire. He seized hold of
the burning dress, eXtinguished the
fire with his hands, and in SO doing,
his hands were so badly burned, that
he has them bandaged today. Mary,
in filling the stove, opened the door,
turned round to get wood, and in so
doing her skirts caught fire, and but
for Mr.. Cardenas, she would have
been badly injured.

RICH REMNANT SALE.

There is nothing like economy in
shopping, and the best bargains in
dry goods are always found at the
remnant counters of large houses,
where such goods are often all but
given away. Wolfson has had CON-
slant call for goods over his remnant
counters ever since announcing his
reductions. He has fine lot of rem
nants of wooden dress goods, silks,
dOmestics, ginghams, calicoes, etc,
which must be sold or given away. In
few days these counters must be
cleared away to make room for new
goods. Call at once and you can find
really durable goods at your own
prices. ct

AN ADDRESS.
SAN ANToNIO. Tex, Jan. %, 'S9

To the Colored Voters of San Antonio
Dear Friends and Members of the Colored
Mems Independent Club:
see by the San Antonio Times, OF
the above date, all address to the
people of San Antonio, the heading
of which is: equal Rights" fol-
lowed by the ticket, as set forth by
the Callaghan faction. What L want,
is for every colored man and voter to
read the address, and then look
at the ticket and observe its
equality. Ponder over it well and af-
ter you have done so tell me whether
or not you, the colored man, cannot
see lust where he is and where he will
be. Should this Callaghan ticket be
elected, this, in my judgment, is more
and more of It.
In the address, by way of criticism,
they or he, as the case may be, COM
mences in this way: In view of race
and other prejudices which have re-
Gently developed in this community,
it is proper to point out the spirit of a
so-called reform movement in this city
which has already placed municipal
ticket in the field. That the animous
of this movement has been proscrip-
tive in the highest degree is suscep-
tible of proof, etc., and as L
have said, I would like to
have you read the address and the
ticket and observe the absurdness
and see which has the best right to
criticize. These sayings are all we'll
enough, but with me, actions speak
louder than words. Therefore, 1 do
hope, and in Gods name, that no col
ored man or woman either, for that
matter, will allow themselves mislead
by no show of hand, or words of this
kind, that "there are those of US that
will" There can be no doubt, 1 see
them every day. 1 am just where / can
see them, just opposite the court
house. They meet here daily, and
what for, 1 am at loss to know, and
l am sorry to say that see some, and
quite often too, from what they pre-
tend to be, 1 think had ought to be
somewhere else, though it may be
that l am nojudge. will say no more
just now on this subject further than
that you may know that L see these
men, and l watch their every action.
1 may call some of them by name
before the 18th of February, and
give the cause of their action,
but L must try and get back to my
subject. have drifted so far until it
may be somewhat hard for me to do
so at this time without trespassing
upon the time and patience of the edi-
tor. 1 shall therefore say but little
more at this writing. 1 must say,
however, that l would like to see
every black man in this city against
the present administration. No, I
don't know that l can truthfully say
that, not every one, that would be in
gratitude, and make me about as bad
as the men l expose, but do say, that
in view of the fact of the ignOminOus
treatment we, as negroes, have re-
ceived at their hands, with a very
small exception, ought to be solidly
against them; and the only way for us
to do is to get ready now, and on the
18th of February 60 to the polls, every
man of US, and. vote for James H.
French and the ticket set forth by the
Colored Mems Independent club, and
Young Mems Reform club. Yours, as
ever, J. r. DAVIS.
