The Lone Star State.

Published BY Request.
Read before the press convention at Hou
ton, May, 1890, by Mary Hunt McCaleb Odun
Beneath the softly falling lights
That simmer on the western void,
And drape across the sunset sky,
Their crimson banners barred with gold
Where nature, like gorgeous queen,
Sits throned In beauty, pride and power
The Lone Star State stands forth to-day
Our country's grandest, fairest flower.
Let others boast OF battles won
When brother fought bis brother foe
Their vauntod glory paIss before
Our blood-stelned shrine OF Alamo
What page in history can record
Deeds more sublime-more grandly sad
OF martyrs TO holy cause
Than those of Mier and Gollads
What victory In all the world,
Against such odds was ever wop,
AS our own Houston gained beneath
The light OF San Jacinto's sun
There Santa Annals pride went down;
There Texas triumphed DER her foes;
The Lone Star, beautiful and bright,
Up from that bloody field arose.
And In the galaxy of light
That glitters on our country's shield,
The Star Of Texas shines to-day
The brightest In the azure field,
Our state in lofty grandeur stands
Amid her sisters, tall and fair
Her brow with living beauty crowned,
Her breath the flower laden air.
The tide OF commerce sweeps across
Her bosom to the rolling main,
Her cities dot like sparkling gems
The emerald beauty of the plain.
Her capitol is like some dream
10 rarest marble, grandly wrought
Beneath the pure inspiring light
From ancient Roman splendor caught.
Industry like some mighty king
Grasps firmly every passing hour,
The pulsIng arteries OF trade
Throb through her heart with giant power.
Rich veins OF mineral wealth lie hid
buA hkhAig fchCu troia uutihi nlkuk
Within her bosom that breath
Or careless touch viii bring 10 light.
When In our country's council halls
In ringing eloquence Is heard
The voice OF Texas through her sons,
The world makes pause to catch each word
Her daughters patient, sweet, yet strong;
What Is there good or pure or true
Where love commands, or duty calls,
A Texas woman fails to dor
Divide this giant, mighty realm
Forbid II, all ye good and great
AS sosn cleave through mothers heart
AS cut In twain our proud old state
The shades OF those who gave their lives
To win her freedom years ago,
Would cry out from their sepulchres
A fierce and agonizing No
Her past Is sacred, for the blood
OF heroes on It's altars fell;
Six sceptres have In turn been swayed
Above the land we love so well;
Five ensigns, with their silken folds,
Have furled their brightness one by one;
To day our Lone Star banner waves
Triumphant, beautiful alone

Do Fishes Feel Pain ?

A writer in Forest aud Stream saws:
have read many articles on the sub
ject of whether fish, when caught on
the hook, feel any pain, or whether
their struggles are merely the result
Of finding themselves fast. | have
studied the matter carefully and have
made up my mind that fish are not SEN
sitive 10 pain.
Last October, while fishing in Wyo-
ming county, Pa, in company with a
companion, We caught a pickerel, and
as it came to the top saw about twelve
feet Of brown line hanging to it. Upon
inspecting it more closely, l found that
the fish had in its side coarse hook.
to which the piece of line was attached.
The wound was bleeding freely and
looked very fresh, and if the fish could
feel pain il would certainly have deter
red it from taking our hook so soon
after such an injury.
Another instance: / was fishing
with a skipping bait" and had with
me friend who was not up to the trick
Of catching fish that way. He got i'm
patient, and finally, when he had good
strike, he jerked so hard as to break
his line. and away went the fish, and
he at once proposed to 60 home, but /
told him in joke If he would wait five
minutes | would catch that fish and
get back his hook. / soon conmenced
TO cast my hook near where he lost his
fish. / had a strike, and to our mu-
tual surprise out came the fish with the
hook well fastened in its mouth. Now,
| don't think the fish would have taken
the bait so soon again had it been in
any pain from the hook.

The Gulf Coast Country.

Maurice Thompson, of Indiana, writ
ing to the Independent, says of the
Mississippi gulf coast:
@First, as to the price of land. Very
good farming, fruit and truck lands
are offered everywhere at from 81 10
Si5 the acre. To be sure, this Is not
rich soil like that of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, but it is very productive
under skillful tilling and is more than
twice as easy to work as the land of
the west or that of New England.
Moreover, two and often three crops
of vegetables are raised from the same
area in one year, so even and mild is
the climate. For instance, ate straw
berries in January and again in April,
from the same garden. Two crops of
potatoes are common, and the ordi-
nary garden vegetables grow the year
round.
@Grapo culture will prove as rsmu-
nerative here as in California. The
vines grow naturally and bear wonder
fnl quantities of perfect fruit, aud the
wine made from these grapes finds a
ready market.
''Pears thrive to perfection. Peaches
do not do so well, though with care
they are grown successfully and yield
a handsome proftFigs flourish, the
trees requiring scarcely any attention,
and the crop is something almost in
credible. Oranges were profitable be-
fore the severe frost some years ago
destroyed most of the old orchards.
The young groves were again consid-
ably injured this spring, but are not
killed they bid fair to survive aud
will be bearing two years hence. Pc
cans OF the very bcst variety are
grown, the trees bearing from the
eighth or tenth year; and those groves
that are fifteen or twenty years old
often bear to each tree from two to
four barrels of nuts, worth from $40
10 $50 the barrel.
OF small fruits the yield Is very
great with the minimum of labor in
cultivation) especially Of blackbcrrics,
iewberrics and strawberries. Many
tropical and semi-tropical species of
small fruit yield abundantly.

IN robust health aud have good farms
IN the north to go TO this gulf-coast

There is a little girl up at North
Stonington, Conn, who possesses rare
presence of mind. She is Susie Brom-
ley, aged 8 years. A few days ago,
while in her fathers barn, she put her
hand in the hay-cutter, gave the crank
a turn, and out dropped three Of her
tiny fingers, nicely sliced off. With
out stopping to cry little Susie calmly
picked up the fingers and took them to
the house. Her mother Immediately
hitched up team and drove her child
to the family doctor, who neatly attach
ed the severed fingers to the stumps.
Though he took some chances of failure
in the operation, it is now reported
that the fingers are growing on again
beautifully, and the doctor says that
they will be just as good as ever

want to sec you niggers and poor
white folks saved. You have a bad
enough time in this world, and it's too
bad for you to 60 to hell.
Politics and whiskey are your ruin.
Your best friends are your white neigh
bors. You say: "Pm a republican. I"
Did the republicans ever give you any
thixg to eat or wear? Pm not talking
for the democrats, but who's postmaster

man"
Here the preacher told about the old
negro's dream about Mahone's riding
to heaven, and said that all the politi-
clans cared for the negroes was to ride
them to the Office and hitch tkem on
the outside.
Politics was not made for poor folks
nohow. The best thing for you to do is
to look to God and your neighbors for
help. I'd rather give up some of nv
white neighbors than some of my color
ed neighbors, for when any of my folks
get sick they viii come and wait on
them and work for me. You are good

sick, ain'tyou? Voices, "yes.") You

up and then leave 'em to die. You
ought to stand up for one another more.
Talk about social equality. You
niggers don't want it. Niggers and
whites viii mix, but they mix at the
bottom. It's the lowest down of both
races. You let politics and social equal
ity alone and 90 to work, you old fools.
Turning to some of the preachers, he
said: no wonder you are sweating
Don't try to initiate the white folks In
their big balls. Quit trying to under
mine your own folks by talking about
them. BE honest, Industrious, sober,
and strive TO do right and serve God.
You stick to your churches, to God,
and TO one another. Quit your stealing,
whiskey-drinking. gambling, and living,
and do right, and after awhile you'll
get home to heaven; and your old black

In another column of this paper
will be found an advertisement of
a medicine know as Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrh0ea Rem
edy, for sale by druggist HARRING-
TON of this place. In almost every
neighborhood throughout the west,
there are some one or more per-
sons, whose lives have been saved
by this remedy. 1t is natural for
such persons to take especial pleas
ure In recommending the remedy to
others. The praise, that follows it's
introduction and use, makes it i'm
mensely popular. While it is in
tended especially for collie, cholera
morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea,
it is also claimed to cure chronic
diarrhoea. If such be the case ii
