A Song Of the Unsttainabls.

For the few-snd- far between,
For the yery->eidom-~een,
For the n-cstch-hold-uponsble l Sigh!
The unclutcbable I'D clutch,
The untouchable I'd touch.
For the uDgrabbed and ungrabbahle diel
Oh, burn and sigh and gasp
For the ju>t-beyOndthe-grasp,
For the farunoyeriakable ,earn;
And the vulgar here-and-now
ignore and dsavOw.
And the good-enough-for-Others, how l spurn

For the just ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The Visit Of the Frost Z ng.

Mid the gliitering ice OF the frozen zone.
Where hu.hed is even the wind-harp's tone.
Where the white bear creep. with steslthy
tread
And The WARY seal makes his ley bed,
where the glaciers slow move in stately rhyme
A. echoing the Alpine glaciers chime,
while over all CLEANS a strange weird light,
Though the sun comes not to dispel the night.
There The Frost King sat on his throne - ure.
Where thousand wears he had reigned or
more;
And laughed, as he counted each coming hour
Thst should bring to him an increase OF pow
er.
But snon on the far horizon. hrim
The sun rppesred though his rays were dim
Yet a. be came nearer. day by day,
The silence rolled like mist sway;
For tho chorus Of life from a far of strand
Awoke The echoes ot mo Man. Land"
A, the Fro-i in- listened he sagely thought
He would zee what mischief Summer had
wrought;
But when he hsd gazed in her ewes OF blue,
Heard her rippling laugh aud brd-ke coo,
He hied him away 10 hi- darkest towers
But memory haunted the cidin: hours,
And voiccle.s longing that was almost pain
lmuelled him TO seek the sweet face again.
He sought her amid her southern bowers.
But hi cold Ai>s biighted her choicest flowers.
The sweet blue ewes grew gray with pain,
And the hroohlcts laugh would not sound

He brought rare Jewels snd a robe Of white
But he ~ept tll they vanished away from

ROCKDALE.
II Fort Worth Wants Conventions She Must
Have Hotel Accommodations.

II Fort Worth Wants Conventions She Must
Have Hotel Accommodations.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
RoCKDALE, Tex, May 1.-THE late
Improvement in the weather has set all
of the plows and hoes in the country
round going, and our streets are deserted
by the farmers. The outlook for crops is
good, though the season will probably be
later than those for several y ears past.
The city council has passed the neoes-
sarY ordinance granting certain fran :
chises to and contracting with the Rock
dale waterworks company, and work
on this enterprise will soon be COM
menced.
Mr.. R. II. Hicks, one of Rockdale 8
most substantial merchants, accompa-
MED by his estimable wife, visited Fort
Worth the latter part of last week with
view of seeing the Spring Palace and at
tending the Baptist convention. They
were unable to secure suitable quarters
anywhere in the city, after making the
round in carriage, and in consequence
had to curtail their visit. Fort Worth
will need more hotel accommodations If
she wants conventions.
The sub-treasury scheme formulated
by the Farmers Alliance is much talked
about here. The Alliance seems to be
very determined upon this subject, and
neither the speeches of Oates of Ala
bama, Reagan of Texas or the unfavor-
able report of the congressional commit
tee will be apt to have much eff
feet. Efforts have been made
to elicit some expression from
Hon. X. Q. Mills of this district in
this subject, and it is perhaps not too
much to say that his reply will determine
his future standing with the farmers of
Milan county. Town people, as rule,
oppose the sub-treasury idea, but quite
number of them have thoughtlessly
signed petitions asking congress to pass
the bills bearing upon the subject now
pending. The Democracy of Milan
county will not split upon this or any
other subject, but will, as in its past
history, submit to majority rule and
abide results.
Indications are that this county will
support Hogg for governor solidly. When
united the farmers weld all political
power, and they are almost unit for
railroad commission.
Mr.. 1. n. Barber, present district
clerk at Cameron, this (Milam) county,
and leading Alliance man, is prom
inently spoken of for the legislature.

Why the Flood Sufferers Got Nothing.

DALLAS, TEX, May 10, 1880.
To the Gazette.
wish to make statement through
your columns concerning the "Zither
concert,' given at the Dallas opera
house last week for the benefit of the
local food sufferers. There were several
hundred families rendered homeless by
the recent heavy rise in the Trinity at
this point, many of whom were nearly
or quite destitute. 1t was for the relief of
these that L arranged the concert re-
ferred to, the entire proceeds of which
lover and above actual expenses) were
to have been devoted to that purpose.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. H.
r. Rodgers, Will A. Watkin, Maj. W.
J. Caven, and other prominent oiti-
zens, was appointed to take charge of
the funds; but owing to the negligence
and Indifference of the News manage
ment in making the necessary announce
ments, etc. the entertainment was but
poorly attended, and the committee had
nothing to distribute. The News was paid
in advance, at regular rates, for the ad-
vertising and might very well have afford
ed few kindly puffs on its own account
in furtheranee of such worthy object.
Not only was this encouragement denied
us, (save one small personal squib) but
even the advertising was bungled. The
natural result was a very small audience.
/ experienced considerable difficulty in
getting up this concert; owing to some
unsooountable prejudice, was unable to
obtain the assistance of any really good
vocal talent; and, while the instrument
al performers were among the best in
the city, there can be no doubt that the
names OF two or three of our most popu-
lar singers would have done much to-
ward drawing a better house. People
should think well before refusing their
aid under such circumstances. Our tai
ents are given us for something better
than mere pleasure or money-maklng.

what everyone knows to have been most

kind help of q number of friends did sue
coed in getting up q really enjoy
able entertainment. Had the News
done even its paid duty in the matter
there would probably have been con-
siderable surplus for relieving the dis
tress of the homeless. Trusting that you

Go to Kerrvlle, the Famed Health Resort
of Southwest Texas.

Professor F. H. Albert Of Houston, an
eminent educator of that city, was IN
Kerrville last July during the summer
vacation. The professor has been a great
traveller in his time, and has seen the
greater part of the old world, including
Switzerland, Spain and other countries
famed for the grandeur and beauty of
their natural scenery. He was asked
how he liked Kerrville and her surround
ings.
Luke it? l am charmed with it!
And this is what all the guests in this
hotel, visitors like myself, say, when
ever you put the question 10 them. This
morning about O. clock when l looked
at the thermometer l found it registered
only seventY-e eight degrees, and at the
hottest time in the afternoon ninety de-
Srees, which is the highest point reached
since have been here. The fresh noun
tain air braces you up and gives you an
appetite you never had before. This
morning took drive up the mountain
ridge that enciroles the town. After we
crossed the Guadalupe river and came to
the highest elevations we got sight of
scenery that reminded me of Switzer-
land. We could see as far as, twenty
miles at least, and though It
was near noontlde we scarcsly noticed
the heat of the sun, 1t is very strange,
sir, that the peoRSesof Houston, Calves
ton and other Texaa cities, will go and
spend their mony in ne North and East
when they can get Sachz sights, such
bracing air as 1 find heras|A, theirs own
state. / am positive if peSfiA knew, or
had only an idea of what KeffxiliF and
its surroundings offer them, tifsg could
come here by the hundreds. IFiif sad
this, thRt there is no mRIaffbs here !
Several guests of this hc<eI whoScame
here for their health told me that after
being here only few deSssthey felt the
beneficial effeots of your 7srfs pd Aealth-
inspiring naeRRtain air. -
Mr.. Harry Harry swhe had joined the
professor while he talkeds unmarked that
he endorsed every word the Professor bad

Texas, but hadsn idea there was such
delightful spot IL existence as Kerrville.
/ came here to get my family settled for
the hot season., intending 20 return TO
my business the next morning; but am
so enchanted by What l have seen and
felt here that l shall prolong my stay. "
J. w. Link of Palestine, ex-county
judge and a prominent lawyer Of that
city, said:
81 like Kerrville.t have been among
the mountains of Virginia, yet I think
the scenery here is finer. Yesterday,
in company with Messrs. Morgan
Baker and A. R. Carter, / took

day. While the sun was shining brightly,
yet the air was so pure, and having q

to cost SIC, 900, is projected, to which
enterprise our honored ex-mayor, Jos.
A. Tivy has donated city property of
value equal to the cost of the structure,
including site of twenty acres within
the city limits.
Why has Kerr county remained SO long
q terra incognita? asked an enthusiastic
health seeker. The reason is manifest.
Kerr county is comparatively unknown
because her people have been in way
too busy; and in a way too careless to
advertise. The modern real estate agent;
