Special to the Gazette.


AUSTIN. TEX, April 13.-The final pas
sage by the senate to-day of the bill reclas-
styling and providing for the sale of public
free school and university lands in West
Texas was exceedingly gratifying, not only
TO the people in that section of the state,
and others as well, but to the author of the
bill, Representative Baker of Tom Green,
who felt great interest in it, and had begun
to despair of its passage. The provisions of
the bill have been frequently mentioned in
these dispatches, and the public is doubtless
quite familiar with them.

FORCETS HIS POCKET.
One OF the Experiences Which Como to
West Pointers.

One of the graduates at West Point
Il am now trying to relearn the use
of pockets. For five years have been
without that pleasant domestic feature
in my trousers, and am glad to find
that they are still in vogue. Very few
people are familiar with the binding
nature of the routine at the Govern
ment school. In my course there
have been away from the Point once
on a two or three DAYS leave. Yet l
have not found the restraint irksome.
The work is hard but pleasant, aud one
must be hard to please who can not
find a congenial set of friends there.
Before taking my leave of absence,
granted for six weeks after graduation,
/ select q certain number of posts of
those submitted to me-and run my
chances on getting the one of the three
/ most care for.
The Government always sends the
new men West. but does not summa-
rily dismiss them to some wilderness
without consulting their preferences
in the matter. For instance. out of
the available posts submitted to me
choose one on the coast, one in Colo
RADIO and one in Kansas. According to
the vacancies which may exist, l am
sent to the one of those three. Natur-
ally, the posts with the best reputation
for life are pitched on by the vast
majority. There may be but a vacau-
CIV or two to fill. A mans standing at
the completion of his course has a
great deal to do with his getting the
best. In the meantime, l shall have
six weeks of untinctured bliss. 1t is
glorious TO get back into the uncon-
straint of civilian attire after years Of
uninterrupted STRENGTHENING in the
cadet garb.

THE LAeoReR VERSUS THE LoAFeR.
RIain Statement OF the characteristics
That Distinguish the Two.

Man has been defined as an intelli-
gence served by organs. 1t would be
more exact to say that he Is n person.
ality served by intelligence and using
organs. The will the power of self
direction. that which individualizes a
person who can say "I' and "my"-
this is his essential characteristic, and
this makes him n laborer. The in
dolent self-surrender of the person to
the impulse or caprice of the moment,
the lack of intelligent object in life,
the slow fading away of strength at
the heart of his being, and his conse-
quent disposition to drift with the
stream of things rather than to guide
their course-this is what dehumanizes
a man and makes him loafer. 1t is
only hard to be laborer because it is
hard to be man. Effort, in
ward energy. power of will, being
thus the distinguishing attribute of
manhood. or. rather, selfhood, the
fatigue which comes from overwork is
not so intolerable to bear as the list
lessness which torments the wretch
who is sunk in the sleepy drench" of
laziness; and, in our present style, the
practical fall of man is his fall from
a worker into an idler. However
much our desire may be for ease. our
real happiness is in activity; yet the
difficulty of urging body and mind in
to effort is so great that the ideal of
many working people is still inactive
enjoyment-an ideal which their very
nature makes impossible of realization.
How many men there are, farmers,
mechanics. merchants, lawyers, who
labor vigorously looking forward
hopefully to the time when the results
of their labor will enable them to be
loafers! The thought indeed is car
ried beyond the present life. Miss
Marsh, in one of her novels, tells us of
British ''navvy" saying to his mate:
II wonder, Bill, whether it be true
what they say of heaven being so
happy-whether it can be happier
than sitting here in the public over a
jug of ale with the fiddle going?
don't know pleasure as comes up to
that" And by how many persons
higher in the mental and moral scale
than this navy is paradise conceived
of as a state in which there is an ever
lasting continuance of pious laziness--
as if the worst impiety in heaven, as
on earth. was not slothful inanition!-

A Brooklyn Mothers Device.

A handsomely dressed woman and a
curly-headed boy of summers were
among the passengers on New York
bridge train. They attracted the at
tention of all the other passengers on
account of new and novel arrange
ment, evidently the invention of the
mother, to prevent Jimmie from get
ting lost in the crowd.
Around the boys chest and shoulders
was neat-itting harness of red mo-
rocco leather, ornamented with tiny
brass bells. Two reins, also of red
leather, were attached to the harness
at the shoulders. The mother held
the reins firmly in her left hand, while
with her right she held a book in which
she seemed deeply interested. When
the boy wanted to go out on the plat
form or cross over to window there
was no sharp command of Come
back, Jimmie, don't go there"
Jimmie would walk the length of
the 'reins and then he stopped. The
mother would not even look up from
her book, but her grip on the reins
never relaxed. So long us she held
them firmly there was no chance for
Jimmie to get lost in the crowd or fall
off the platform.
The harness was similar to that
worn by pug dogs in fashionable So
ciety, but two reins were used for the
boy instead of one for the dog. jim
mic is probably more difficult to guide
along a crowded thoroughfare than
well-trained and obedient pug.

PERlLs OF CALIFORNIA EMICRANTs.
From "AcrOss the Plains In the DOnuer
Party" In The Century.


We were now encamped in valley
called Twenty Wells" The water in
these wells was pure and cold welcome
enough after the alkaline pools from
which we had been forced to drink.
| We prepared for the long drive across
the desert and laid in, as we supposed
an ample supply of water and grass.
| This desert had been represented to US
as only forty miles wide but we found
it nearer eighty. 1t was dreary.
desOlate. alkali waste; not living
| thing could be seen; it seemed as
though the hand of death had been laid
upon the country.
We started in the evening, travelled,
all that night and the following day
and might've nights and one day of
suffering from thirst and heat by day
and piercing cold by night. When the
third night fell and we saw the barren
waste stretching away apparently MS
boundless as when we started, my
father determined to 90 ahead in
search of water. Before starting he
instructed the drivers. if the cattle
showed signs of giving out to take
them from tie wagons and follow him.
He had not been gone long before the
oxen began to fall to the ground from
thirst and exhaustion. They were un-
hitched at once and driven ahead. My
father coming back met the drivers
with the cattle within ten miles of
water and instructed them to return
as soon as the animals had satisfied
their thirst. He reached us about day
light. We waited all that day in the
desert looking for the return of our
drivers, the other wagons going on
out of sight. Towards night the situa-
ton became desperate and we had
only a few drops of water left; another
night there meant death. We must set
out on foot and try to reach some of
the wagons
Can ever forget that night in the
desert, when we walked mile and mile
in the darkness every step seeming to
be the very last we could take! Sud-
denly all fatigue was banished by fear;
through the night came swift rush
ing sound of one of the young steers
crazed by thirst and apparently bent
upon our destruction. My father. hold
ing his youngest child in his arms and
keeping us all close behind him, drew
his pistol. but finally the maddened
beast turned and dashed off into the
darkness. Dragging ourselves along
about ten miles. we reached the wagon
of Jacob Bonner. The family were
all asleep, so we children lay down on
the ground. A bitter wind swept over
the desert. chilling us through and
through. We crept closer together,
and, when we complained of the cold,
papa placed all five of our dogs around
us, and only for the warmth of these
faithful creatures we should doubtless
have persisted.

The largest and most wonderful
spring of fresh water in the world is
on the gulf coast of Florida. in Her.

a stream large enough to float small

spouted from this gigantic natural
well. which is 80 feet in diameter and
about 20 or so feet deep. The water
is said to be remarkably pure.

Then troy BILE came IN the form Of SICK

were laid il. the grave, and Lottle had the
fall which resulted IN her lameness, and the
little mothe : was glad to turn her faculty
for fine ironing to advantage in helping
along, for lIr. Ford, though the kindest and
most willing of men, was no longer young
and strong.
"Dou't fret, Lottie," she said, as she fitted

DOUBTLESS she has too many interests in
her new life to think of poor Lottie very
often, though sighed the daughter.
At that very moment Mrs Stanford's own
elegant carriage was at the front of the
shabby tenement house, and Isabel, her face
aslow with the delight of meeting her
friend again, ran up thes stairs, and, as the
door was ajar. she stepped in without knock
inc, and before Lottie could quite compre-
head who or what it was, she had her arms
around the poor, pale little figure, crying
joyfully: "Lottie, you darling, precious lit

below, "nothing could oe more opportune

"Mrs. Ford" and Isabel looked affection

more than my own selfish pleasure; rest

and myself, to do this for Lottie,' and she
waved her hand with smile at the pale
little woman as the carriage drove away.

been blessing to all Of them in turn, and
now that she was going away they were
anxious to add mite from their scanty
stores to aid in her preparations.
One brought in collar, another piece OF
bright ribbon, and when Mrs. Mccarthy
came bringing white apron ironed to the
last degree of nicely and her only article OF
luxury, Lottie could not refrainfrom tears.
Some were only able to offer assistance;
and busy hands helped to put the slender
wardrobe in perfect order and pack the lit
tie trunk, and when Mrs. Stanford's car
riage again drove to the door Lottle was
helped down the stairs by strong, willing
hands, eager to help, and hearty good wishes
followed her from the humble home.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that We never
sing,
And names that are never spoken,
There are treasures guarded with jealous
care
And kept as secret token,
There are faded flowers and letters dim
With the tears that have ralued above
them,
For the fckle words and faithleSs hearts
That taught US how to love them.
There are sighs that come in our joyous
hours
To chasten our dreams of gladneSs,
And tears that spring to our aching eyes
In hours of thoughtful sadness.
For, the blithest birds that sing in spring
VIII fit the waning summer,
And lips that we kissed in fondeSt love
Will smile on the first new conner.
Over the breast where the lilies rest
Inwhite hands still forever,
The roses of June will nod and blow.
Unheeding the hearts that sever.
And lips that quiver in silent grief,
All words of hope refusing,
VIII Tightly turn to the fieeting joys
That perish with the using.
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS,
Love aud its sweet elysian,
Hope, like siren dim and fair,
Quickening our fainting vision;
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories hover,
Eyelids touched with the seal Of death,
And the ftful dream is over.
