A SUDDEN SHOWER,

Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under sheltering sheds;
And schoolgirl faces, pale and sweet,
Clean from the shawls about their heads.
Doors bang; and mothers voices call
From alien homes: and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above It all
The thunder grim reverberates-
And then abrupt. the rair the rsinf
The earth lies gasping: and the eyes
Behind the streaming window-panes
Smile at the trouble of the skies.
The highway smokes sharp echoes ring;
The cattle bawl and cow-bells clank;
And into town comes galloping
The farmers horse, with steaming flank,
The swallow dips beneath the caves.
And firts his plumes and folds his wings;
And under the cataba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The bumble-bee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
Aud sullenly In spattered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk,
Within, the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and vague;
Without, beneath the rose bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

from the high pinnacle of fame
and power to position where he
is only man among men, and if
those who are inclined to criticise
the ex-chief's action, could now
see him as he languidly drags
himself across the streets of San
Saba, perfectly oblivious to his
surroundings, with pride wounded,
feelings lacerated beyond descrip-
ton, colors torn and mutilated,
trailing in the dust. and thus see
him all crestfallen, their criticisms
would melt into expressions of the
tenderest sympathy. My advice
TO the friends OF Judge Ray is for
them to watch over and guard him,
restrain him in his mad moments
until he becomes acquainted with
his new position, and then should
he not be able to control himself
and make his conduct plain, we
will in the near future apply the
screws to him properly and eradi-
cate the disease, with which he is
so badly afflicted, entirely from his
system.
This article is not written in vim
dication of myself, or in defense
of my Brother Commissioner, but
simply reply to the frantic effu-
sion of mad and deposed chief;
an American Ludwig who honest
ly thinks he has been cruelty rob

1 think when then the intelli-
gent and unterrifed citizens of this
county are again discussing the
merits of men who are to fill the

Subscription Laws.

DR.. Tuckerrnan, editor Of The
Workman, Cleveland, has taken
some pains to collect and compile
the decision Of the United States
court on this subject, and gives tc
the Washington Post, as the result
of his Investigations, the follow
ing:
Subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions.
Second-If subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals
the publisher may continue to send
them until all the arrearages are
paid.
ghird-If subscribers neglect or
refuse to take their periodicals
from the post Office to which they
are directed, they are responsible
until they have settled their bills
and ordered them discontinued.
Fourth subscribers move to
other places without informing the
publisher and the papers are sent
to the former address, they are
held responsible.
Fifth-The court have decided
that refusing 10 take periodicals
from the Office or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is a pri-
ma facie evidence of intentional
fraud.
Sixth-If subscribers paid in
advance they are bound to give no.
tice at the end of the time if they
do not wish to continue taking it
the publisher is author
lied to send it and the subscriber
viii be responsible until express
notice with payment of all arrear-
ages is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest any one for fraud who takes o
paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under this law the man who allows
his subscription to run along for
some time unpaid and then orders
It discontinued or orders the post
master to mark it refused and
have a postal card sent notifying
he publisher, leaves himself la
de to arrest and fine the same as
or theft. ~ II

The railroad commissioners are
not chuckle heads by any means;
although they may not know how
to run an engine, nor manipulate
the wires, etc, they know what
is just and right for all parties
At the request of the roads them
selves, the rates on bagging and
ties have been reduced from Gal
weston. The railroad men stated
that there was not a road in the
State paying dividend, not even
paying the interest on its bonds.
And alse state that if the commits
sioners were disposed to treat the
roads fairly, they would raise the
rates insteads of lowering them.
1t is also stated that the roads
could not stand reduction and
live. Neither could the people stand
the rates to be raised and live. We
have never yet fully understood the
object Of the railroad commission.
We suppose, however, it was estab-
lished for one Of two purposes, viz,
for the good Of the people, or to in
terfere with the railroad men. If
the latter we think the government
has enough to do to look after
those affairs which come directly
under its immediate jurisdiction.
If the former Is intended, much
good can be accomplished, because
the people need to get things as
cheap as possible. The govern
ment might go little futher, and
limit the per cert, of profits to be
allowed the manufacturers or pro-
ducers then hold the railroads or
shipping medium down to certain
limited price, and by all means fix
the profits to be allowed the mer-
chants. We see no reason for lin
ting the one without the others.
like railroads could
handle goods at less profits but
then they would not make so much.
And the banks might be brought
into the limited ring, bacause they
could loan money at less percent,
and if the government is going to
.egislate against one medium
ior the good of the people why not
against all. We have
to say against the commits
5ioner. They are three as good, |
and trusty gentlemen
lsscould have beens elected to fill !

hat the railroad freights cost more
