LONDON, April 17.-The acquittal OF
Luke Emerson. the Missouri horse dealer
who shot and killed one man and
wounded another in Oxford street some
time ago, is applauded by great many
men who only few days ago expressed
their conviction Of his guilt OF the trilna
of murder. The only witnesses to the
shooting were associates of or s9mpa-
thizers with the man who was killed,
and it was feared by Enerson's friends
that the hard swearing of those vicious
characters would more than offset the
prisoners contention that he had been
robbed and fired the shots in defense Of
his life.

NUMBER 42,
Honest John Barns.

London, Sept. l6.--In the struggle
between capital and labor in this city,
which in q measure excited the whole
world, the characteristics and virtues
Of comparatively unknown men we're
brought forcibly to the 'front.' During
the long struggle John Burns and
Ben Tillett, who are both total alb
stainers, never wearied Of impreesing
upon the men the virtue Of temper
ance and clean living, and il is on re-
cord that no fewer than 1900 Of the
strikers have taken the total absti-
nence pledge. One Of the most pa
thetic features Of the struggle was
Burns' constant appeals TO bis rough
followers to quit WIFE beating and be
kind to the children, and in this re-
spect, also, IL is creditably asserted
that there is already palpable i'm
povement. Hencefosth the laborers
will be an organized body, and
autonomy will induce self-reliance.
They will have better and more cer-
tain wages, and less Of it will 60 to

Colored Female College At Crockett.


The local editor OF the Palestine
Advocate in the course Of recent
trip ascertained the following facts,
which he publishes IN his last weeks
paper:
Viewing Crockett, attention is di-
rected to q handsome four story, with
basement, brick building on an ele-
waited enclosnre near that place, called
the Mary Allen (colored) female col
lege. The building is Of brick, ele-
CANT architecture. Finding the origi-
nal structure insufficient to accommo-
date pupils and boardera, an addition.
al L is being built. The school is
founded to educate colored girls, and
Mrs. Allen, then resident 10 Indiana,
dying before plans were perfected,
gave by bequest means for purchasing
and completing the institution, sub
ject to teachings Of the Presbyterian
faith. Land and improvements will
cost 100000. There are twelve
teachers engaged. Last term closed
with 200 boarders and pupils and
this session begins with 250. DR..
Smith is superintendent Sixty acres
Of land are connected with the school,
Students are taught industrially, to
sew, cook and work, at the same time
pursuing studies. A large place is
devoted to fruit and vegetables,
yielding well and assisting to sustain
the school. This information is re-
ceived while travelling ON the cars,
and the writer confesses to no little
surprise at the success Of this CON-
mendable effort.

Rest.

My feet are wearied and my hands are tired,
My soul oppressed,
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest.
Tis hard to toll, when toll is almost vain,
In barren ways;
Tis hard to SOW. and never garner grain
In harvest days
The burden of my days is hard to bear
But God knows best;
And have prayed, but vain has been my
For rest-sweet rest. [praysr,
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard TO till, and when It's titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And SO cry, weak and human cry
So heart oppressed;
And so I sigh--a weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert yearr,
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowing Of hot tears
/ pine for rest.
Twas always SO; when still child laid
On mothers breast
Ny wearied little head, cen then / prayed
As now--for rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be DER,
For down the West
Life's sun is setting, and see the shore

State TomfooIery.

Under o law passed by the last

In the meantime the location has been
put up at auction and ambitious

This is all wrong and it is not emil

Of ordinary intelligence that the state

erosity or dignity.
The idea Of q great and wealthy
state like Texas engaging to build o
charitable institution going out upon
the highways and byways, asking the
people how much they will give to Sc
cure it's location among theml
Texas is the only state where the
auction business OF locating public
buildings is in vogue, and past expert
ence shows that it has been costly TO
her taxpayers.
Is an asylum or other institution
erected by Texas merely to benefit
some local interest or politician, or is
it to benefit the whole peoplei
II it is the people, then il should be
placed where it can be cheaply
maintained; where it will be easy OF
access and where it will do the great

il should be located without any DOM

There is but one place, from prac-

An important matter for the atten-
ton of the next Legislature is the
reform or repeal of our present es-
tray law. It is a cause of rascality
and Wholesale stealing in the name
of law. It is very general practice
under the present law to steal whole
herds of animals. It is the easiest
thing in the world to drive o bunch
Of fine improved goats, or sheep, or
mules, or other animals o few miles
from their owners range and then
estray them, and this is daily done.

A weeping peach tree Is one Of the

stated that "a number Of superstitious
persons believe that spirits operate upon
It," It is easy to account for the trees
emotion without referring It to the
spirits. 1t would not be strange II sem
sitive peach tree should be moved to

way in which some fruit dealers basket
peaches for the market-the big ripe
ones on top, the little hard ones below.
