THE Bastrop Advertiser Of the 26th
inst, referring to the San Antonio
Fair, says:
A prize of 81, 900 is offered by the
managers of the San Antonio Fair for
the best county exhibit. Ii some one
would only take the matter in hand,
how easily old Bastrop could win 1t.
To this end was the Advertiser
born, and for this cause came it into
the world, to take that matter in hand
and urge, until successful, upon the
people of Bastrop county, their duty
in this matter. To secure that 81 900
county exhibit premium would be
worth $4,000 in cold cash to old Bas-
trop. Now, go in and do your duty,
Bro. Cain.

INTO THE FOREVER.


What may we take unto the vast Forever
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long endeavor,
No faun- wreathed crown We wore,
No garnered lore.
What can we bear beyond the unknown por-
tai?
No gold, no gains
OF all our toiling; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
Nor guilt, nor stains.
Naked from out the far abyss behind US
We entered here;
No word came with our coming TO remind us
What wondrous world was near
No hope, 50 fear.
Into the silent, starless night before US,
Naked we glide.
No hand has mapped the constellation DER
no chart, no guide,
No comrade at our side.
Yet fearless toward that midnight black and
hollow
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of Fathers hand we follow
His love alone is there;
No curse no care.

A Freak OF Fashion.

4 freak of fashion that attracted much
attention a year or so ago was the red,
blue and yellow barred shirt of the
heavy swell. One of the peculierities of
this STYLE was 10 wear white linen
collar. Thus the poor dude at first re-
celved the sympathies of his astonishcd
and initiated friends, who imagined that
he could not positively find in the wide,
wide world, a collar TO match the out
landish style of shirt he had chosen to
put on his back. This shirt was made
more impressive by being worn with a
low cut vest, thus giving the grid-iron
bosom full opportunity to loom up after
the style of Sing Sing prison bars.-De-

Stephen turned his face away, and lay
quietly as she bid him do. But there
were warm tears trickling down upon his
pillow where she could not see. This
was the woman he had thought beneath
him. and deserted for a senseless doll of
fashion!
Well, his retribution had overtaken
him, and it was sufficiently bitter.
And we'll deserved, say youl
Perhaps it was. No doubt it was.
But the heart OF loving woman can for
give and forget much.
Stephen was now alone and lonely.
Jeanette had always been both. So
when he was we'll again, and able to be
about the house, when he asked her to
forgive an forget the unhappy past, and
talk about the last and later love which
would never wander from her more, she
did not say him nay.
Stephen had a small remnant of
money left, but he had no other home to
go to. So Jeanette would not let him
60 at all. There was a quiet wedding
in the little church, and then they went
back to the cottage, which was now
home for both of them.
Of course gossip commented, and
many said he only married her for a
home, and called her a fool. But he
really appreciated and loved her at last,
and though, no doubt he got better than
he deserved, Jeanette never was sorry
that she had given it to him.-Family

REMINDERS DOOM SEALED,
The Supreme Court Decides That
ElectrOcutiOn is Constitutional

The Supreme Court of the United States
has denied the application for writ Of
error in the case of Kemmler, under SEN
tence of death by electricity at the Auburn
. N Y Penltentiary. The opinion was by
Chief Justice Fuller.
Reminders last chance. so far as any legal
question is concerned, has thus been ex-
hausted. The opinion follows very closely
that of the New Y DIRK Court of Appeals
AS to Lawyer Sherman's claim that GER
tain rights guaranteed to citizens by the fifth
and fourteenth amendments had been abro-
gated in Reminders case, the court saws:
As due process of law in the amendment
refers to that law OF the land which derives
its authority from the legislative powers
conferred upon Congress by the Constitution
of the United States, so, in the fourteenth
amendment, the same words refer to that
law of the land in each State which de-
rlves its authority from the inherent
and reserved powers of the State.
exerted within the limits of these funda-
mental principles of liberty and justice. I'm
dOubteoIy the amendment forbids any ar
bitrary deprivation of life, liberty or prop
erty. and in the administration of criminal
Justice requires that no different or
higher punishment shall be imposed upon
one than such as is prescribed for all
for like offenseS, but it was not designed to
interfere with the power of the State TO pro-
tect the lives, liberties and property of its
citizens. The enactment of this statute was
in itself within the legitimate sphere Of the
legislative power of the State
In an interview at Auburn, n Y,
Warden Durston said that he believed that
Kemmler would be electrocuted some time
in August. Whether he or the Sheriff of
Erie County would electrocute him would
undoubtedly be determined next month
Besides Kemmler there were four other
convicted murderers in New York State
whose fate depended upon the Court of Ap-
peais decision. They are.
Jugigo, who killed fellow-Japanese in
boarding house In New York city.
McIlvane. who stabbed Grocer Luca to
death in Brooklyn.
Slocum, who killed his wife in New York
with baseball club
Wood, colored man, who killed a fellow
laborer named Charles Rufin on the Croton
aqueduct last year.

TIE TURN OF FATE.
How General Lee Might HaYe Command.
ed the Union Army.

Washington Post; But for his de-
votion to the State which to-day
honors him General Robert Il. Lee
might have been the commander-ic-
chief Of the Union forces. All his
biographers are agreed upon this
point and quite q number of officers
on the Northern side have corrobo-
rated the fact, which does not, how
ever, appear to be generally known.
Lee, who was in Texas when the
war-cloud first threatened, had been
summoned to Washington. Between
him and General Scott, then com
mander-in-chief of the army, there
existed the warmest personal friend
ship, while the admiration OF the
elder officer for the abilities OF his
younger colleague was extreme.
General Scott used every argument
to keep Lee from resigning his com
mission in the regular army. To
retain him in the service he had been
appointed upon his arrival in Wash
ington to full colonel, and soon
afterward his name was sent IN, with
others, by Scott as proper person
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Brigadier General Jessup.
To those practical evidences of regard
General Scott added his personal
and almost irresistible appeals.
When 1t is remembered that Lee
was at this time regarded as the
ablest officer in the army; that he
had rendered valuable and intelligent
service in the Mexican and Indian
wars, and that he was of famous
lineage, wealthy, and of unsulliod
character, it is not n matter of sur
prise that President Lincoln also
desired to retain his services. That
overtures were made to Lee to take
command of the army seems es-
tablished beyond a doubt, although
still denied in some quarters. Mrs.
Lee, writing to friend, stated that
her husband had been told by Gen
ernl Scott that when the latter re-
signed Lee would get the position.

Montgomery Blair, then in Lincoln's

Corresponding Secretary: Dear Sir,

panied by a copy Of the declaration
OF principles Of the Farmers Alliance
sec nothing in this declaration that

who loves his country, who believes
tho object Of his government should

that Justice and fairness to all arc
necessary conditions to it's useful ad
ADMINISTRATION.
1t has always seemed to me that
the farmers of tho country were
especially interested in an equitable
adjustment of our tariff system.
The Indifference they have shown to
flat question and the ease with which
they have been led away from sober
consideration OF their needs and their
rights as related to this subject, have
excited my surprise,
Struggle as they may, our farmers
must continue to be purchasers and
consumers of Lumberless things en-
HANGED in cost by tariff regulation.
Surely they have a right to insist
that this cost shall not be increased
for the purpose Of collecting unneces-
sary revenue or to give undue nd
vantage to domestic manufacturers.
Tho plea that infant industries need
the protection which impoverlshos
the farmer and consumer il, in view
of our national advantages and the
skill and density of our people, n
hollow pretext.
Struggle as thoy may, our farmers
cannot escape the conditions which
fix the price Of that product and
according TO the rates which prevail
in foreign markets, flooded with the
competition Of countries enjoying
freer exchange of trade than we.
The plausible presentations Of the
blessings OF o home market should
not deceive our oppressed and i'm
poverished agTiculturists. There is
no market for them which does not
tako its instructions from the sea
board; and the scaboRrd transmits the
word OF the foreign markets
Because my conviction that there
