he had left home when but a lad,
With maternal intuition she recogniz-
led him. When brought to his cell,
Sterling, without qulver of mus

am not your son." She impIored
bum to recognize her, but be refused,
and she returned home half coDvinc>

counsel Sterling said: "She is my
mother, hnt | could not break her
heart by telling aer that her son
would be hung. Keep it secret till
she dies" Her death the past week

Wit and Satire in Wills.
From the New York Ledger.

From the New York Ledger.
One might suppose that will-mak-
ing was anything but a merry occu-
patton. and yet the drollery of the
wills that some eccentric old fellows
have LETT behind them could hardly
be surpassed. Dean Swift could not
have concocted a more bitter joke
than that of the ~testator, who, after
citing the obligations he was under to
a particular friend, bequeathed to
him, at the bottom of the first page OF
his will, ten Observation-Disclosures, of
course, thought the delighted legatee;
but, Oh turning the leaf, the bequest
was discovered to be ten thousand
thanks. What a wet blanket for
''great expectations!"
Just as odd was the codicil of the
death-rtricken humorist who left to
certain of his dear relatives las many
acres of land as shall be found equal
to the area inclosed by the track of
the center of the oscillation Of the
earth in a revolution around the sun,
supposing the mean distance of the
sun to be q 800 semi-diameters of the
earth from it," This was a century
ago; and as the problem could not be
satisfactorily worked out, the legatees
were kept a mean distance from the
property all their lives.
a very neat reproach was conveyed
in the will of an uncle who bequeath-
ed eleven silver spoons to his nephew,
with the remark: "If 1 have not left
him the dozen he knows the reason;"
the young scapegrace having stolen
the twelfth spoon some time before.

The Mexican Voters.
From the Weekly White Republican

From the Weekly White Republican.
The cotton fields are full of Mexican
cotton pickerS, most of whom are recent
importationS from the land of God and
liberty" Some of them have not yet ex-
changed their sandals for shoes, and they
wear the lofty SOmbrero which is all the
fashion in the republic over the river.
The cotton picking season will end by
election day and these men will flock into
our city to become voters. 1t is the patri-
otto duty of our Mexican Americans to
organize a plan to have these aliens
excluded from the ballot box: they have
no idea of the right of franchise or the
dangers attending illegal voting, and
should be warned to keep away. More
than this, Il Mexican citizens who are
citizens and voters suffer in reputation
from this indiScriminate voting of MeXi-
can trampS, who are open for purchase to
the highest bidder. II is with our own
citizens TO put an end to this thing, other
wise a remedy will be sought that will
put an end TO it. Our Mexican residents
are proud of their liberty and rights as
Americans and it is TO them we look to
have this pollution of the ballot box
stopped"

pendent, ito know that Lord Arthur
Cecil, a half brother of Lord Sails

IN connection with himself. Lord
Arthur, though a short man, is OF
giant physique and enormous
strength. He was one day walking
through a field on his farm at Inner.
iehmen, when a young bull rushed at
him. Instead of turning tail, Lord
Arthur coolly seized the animal by
his horns and pushed him back inch
by inch, till he had got him into his
stall, where he left him covering and
trembling all over.
"This," continues our esp pond
ent, sis not a cock-and-buI story. II
was Lord Arthur who, on n occa.

new man servant get the tickets,
which the man did, procuring two
f~irst-class tickets and seating himself
in the same carriage with his master
Lord Arthur said nothing at the
moment, but the next time he bought
the ticket himself, one fi~rst-class, one
third, and, giving the man the first
class ticket, he travelled third him
self. Our cores 9ondent seems t
