We are in receipt of some resolutions
from Fischer's store, which we are asked to
publish, purporting to come from what is
STYLED 1.-The Citizens Organization of Hays,
Blanco and Comal" proposing the suppress
sion of thefts, etc. The preamble afirms
that ''there are numerous thefts perpetrat-
ed in our counties, and there are parties in
our counties who have no visible means OF
support who wear finer clothes and ride
better horses than those who work hard for
living" The proposed organization is
declared to be for the suppression of this
state of things, but they declare their
purpose to do so according to
law" As the paper is not 40 ;ompanied by
any name, we of course cannot properly
give it any more of our space. under well
known editorial rule. What we have given
will be sufficient to indicate the character
of the movement.

THE PUMPKIN BLOSSOM.

The lotus flowers of Egypt are famed in
song and story,
Fair France is wreathed in lilies, as EN-.
blems Of her glory,
Britannia on her regal throne sits crowned
with queenly roses,
Bold Scotia for her bouquet holds thistles
to her noses,
And weeping Erin twnes her harp with
shamrock green and fair,
But Jonathan, our Jonathan, he hath no
bOatonaiere.
In all this Western Hemisphere is there no
flower for him.
No bloom that's emblematic of Western
push and vim?
| can tell you just the posy-golden bells
amid the corn,
Like twenty.dollar pieces, they shine at
early morn
IT'S the honest pumpkin blossom--nOne can
with it compare,
For Jonathan, our Jonathan, lovely bon.
tOnniere.
The pumpkin is modest plant it seems of
little worth;
1t does not try to pierce the sky; it only
wants the earth.
The bugle calls to battle, the clarion's note
alarms,
But the music OF the pumpkin stalk our
youthful nature charms.
In the language Of the flowers. "some pump.
kins," 'twould declare
For Jonathan, our Jonathan, fitting bOu.
tonntere.
The shamrock and the thistle, the lily, lotus,
rose,
Appeal but to the eyesight, or perhaps EN-
gage the nose;
But the pumpkin-oh, the pumpkia-it
charms the ears and eyes.
IT'S the pride of all grangers and it make;
delicious pies
No fruit from all the others take prizes al
the fair
Like Jonathan, our Jonathan's, most roya
bOutOnniere.
Thou golden ball of plenty, true worth thy
beauty crowns;
What other royal blossom can fruit two hun
bred pounds?
Fade and wilt, We useless flowers, who's,
bloom no fruit returns;
All hail the honest pumpkin bloom. who's
seed is death to worms.
For show and spendor and for use nom
with thee can compare
For Jonathan, our Jonathan, famous bon
ionniere.

The Incubator System in Egypt.

Letter from Carlo, Egypt
The Egyptians are, however, far in
advance of us in the science of raising
chickens, and the incubating estab-
lishments of the country hatch out
eggs by millions every year. At a
Matching establishment near the pyra-
mids the farmers trade fresh eggs for
young chicks, and the rate is two
eggs per chick. Another artificial egg
hatchery turning ont 100000 little
chickens every season, and the oven
crop of chickens in Egypt amounts,
according to figures furnished by the
consul general, to more than twenty
millions of chickens year.
We have about two hundred mil
lion dollars worth of money invested
in the fowl industry in the United
States, an amount so large that all
the money of Jay Gould could not
equal it, and still we have to import
more than sixteen million dozens of
eggs every year. If America would
adopt the Egyptian Matching system
we could sell eggs instead of buying
them and our farmers might buy lit
tie chickens to raise at price of
twenty cents dozen. More than
twenty millions of the little chickens
are sold each year this way in Egypt
and there is regular business in
chickens just old enough to walk.
The incubatories are rude, one.story
buildings, made of undried bricks, 50
arranged that the eggs are laid upon
cut straw in racks in rooms, around
the ovens which are kept fired during
the Matching season. The outside
walls are very thick, and are built so
that they will retain the heat, and
the only thermometer used is the
blood of the boy or man who attends
to the fires. BY long practice these
men learn just how hot the ovens
ought to be kept, and they replenish
the fires as the weather demands. A
small amount of fuel is needed, and
the temperature Of the ovens is about
ninety-eight degrees above zero. The
fire is built up for eight or ten days
before the eggs are put in to thor
oughly warm the hut, and and after
this time it does not go out during the
season, which is from March until
May. The eggs are turned four times
a day while Matching. The whole
outfit of an establishment which
matches over 100000 chickens a yea1
does not, am told, cost more than
S25, and one man runs the whole ma.
chine, keeping the fires, buying and
turning the eggs and selling the
chickens. There are in this incuba.
tory twelve compartments, each sew.
enty feet long, sixty feet wide and
sixteen feet high, and each of these
compartments will hold 800 eggs at

There is a Hereafter.
REV. FATHER DAVID s. PHELoA

REV. FATHER DAVID s. PHELOA.
If there is no hereafter, then life is
one long debauch, and the highest
education is to know how to find and
how to enjoy pleasure. If there is
no hereafter, then virtue is a deceit,
and heroism is a lie. See the young
man bleeding from a hundred
wounds! He died in defense of a sis
ter's honor. If there is no hereafter,
that nOblest of deeds will go forever
unrewarded. See that young sister
in the hospital bending over the vic
tim of the plague; tomorrow she sue
cumbs-a rapid ride and a hasty sep
ulcher will reward her devotion. If
there is no hereafter, her charity met
sorry requital. See that man hold
ing an affrighted child at the win
dow of a burning building. He holds
it long enough for sturdy compan-
ion to grasp it from below and then
falls back into his fiery tomb. II
there is no hereafter, such sacrifices
is heartless and unmeaning cruelty.
See that troop of soldiers marching
by the beating of the drum. Their
country has called and they go to
defend her honor on the battlefield.
They follow that flag into the thick
est of the fight, and when the bugle
sounds the retreat, few return from
the carnage. Those brave soldiers
died with their faces to the foe, and a
smile was stamped on their features
in death. If there is not a hereafter
their heroism was suicide and their
courage "A mockery of fate. Early
life is closed in death; the grave ter
inmates all consort and association
with things of time, but waited above
their bier, the wreck, the tomb, is the
sweet voice of God saying, 81 am the
life."

Remarks.

POTATOES. -Trade is fair and general
values firm. General lines of good stock
are a shade higher.
APPLEs.-Choice No. l apples continue
firm, with the demand still rather quiet.
Dried apples are firm at quotations.
VEGETABLEs.-Onions remain in steady de-
mand. Best hard-shelled Hubbard squashes
sell fairly. St. Andrews turnips are steady.
BEANs.-The market is very dull for white
beans. Domestic marrow pea and medium
are in large supply and selling very slowly.
EGGs.-There is a steady tone to the
market and fair demand. Values are
generally maintained, but SOC represents
the extreme for eastern extras.
PoULTRY.-C turkeys continue in
light supply and in good demand. There
is also a fair call for choice large chickens,
but common lots are hard to place.
HAY AND STRAW The market continues
dull, with supplies in excess of the demand
and prices in buyers favor. Fancy hay
holds steady, but all grades below this are
weak.
FRESH MEATs.-Beef is ruling shade
tirmer, some very choice cattle bringing &c.
Mutton is quiet Lambs plenty and dull.
Veals are also dull and but few sales are
made at over DC.
CHEEsE.-Sales continue small, with no
material change to note in the situation.
New York lots are quoted at 10l to lO4c for
extras, although sales are slow at over the
inside figure. Early-made stock is dull,
BUrrER.-The market remains about as
last quoted, but fully as firm on the top
grades. Receipts are moderate and only
small proportion show really fine, fresh
flavor. All strictly extra fresh-made goods
meet with ready sale on arrival and some
of the best western creamery exceeds quo
tations.
