Arthur hung up his stocking, and

cold it was! for the door had been shut

so he kicked off his shoes. not parting
with very much else, for it was too
cold to undresS, and jumped into bed
and in a few minutes was fast asleep,
dreaming, perhaps, of Christmas feast

Arthur had not been dreaming long
when Il low knock startled Mrs. Hill.
What could it mean? And she trem-
bled little as she walked TO the door
and opened it.
a kind-faced man with merry blue
eyes was standing there; he had very
fat pockets, and sled in one hand and
a parcel in the other; and Mrs. Hill

LAREDO, Tex, Dee. IA band of
Garza revolutionists, numbering about
$40 men, and headed by CATERING Gar
za's lieutenant, Emtigo Ramon, crossed
from the Texas side of the river into
Mexico three miles above Inguacia Ia
pata, and were marching under
arms when encountered by two COM
panies of Mexican cavalry. The Next
can troopers fairly rushed to the attack,
but the bandits stood firm. The fight
ing, which was hand to hand, was fast
and furious. The troopers gained no
advantage, but on the contrary lost
ground from the start 1t IS probable
that the revolutionists had planned a
surprise, as they were heading toward
the barracks when the cavalry opened
fire and charged upon them.
The cavalry was at first repulsed,
then routed, and retreated pellmell,
and in the most disorderly confusion
The revolutionists pursued for a dis
tance keeping up a hot fire until the
last of the vanquished foe disappeared.
The victors had by this time come up
to the barracks, where the cavalrymen
had but short time before left warm
beds to repel an attack. Torches were
quickly brought into requisition and
the buildings were soon in ashes. All
of the parsphernalia which fell into
their hands that could not be appropri-
ated and carried away was destroyed.
The revolutionists, in full possession
of all they surveyed, retreated in good
order, and recrossed the river into

Who Saved The Union /?

The war cry Of men like Phillips and
Greedy was LET the erring sisters de.
part in peace.' The abolitionists OF
the North cared nothing tor the Union ;
they declared it to be covenant with
Satan. Because, az he believed, the
Constitution was a pro slavery Consti-
tuition, Wendell Phillips refused to take
an oath to support it, notwithstanding
bis desire to hold office.
But even the Chicago tribune, whose
ignorance Of the early history Of our
country is proverbial, should know
enough of its recent history to know
that neither Missouri nor Kentucky ev
er eeceded from the Union. Not hay.
ing seeded, they could not be Con
auered back"
For one hundred years Kentucky has
without interruption maintained its
honored place IN the Union. 1t was
Kentucky blood and valor that con-
quered Illinois from the savage 1t was
Kentucky craftsmanship that saved H.
l,nols from British Dominion after the
Revolutionary war and pushed the
boundary lines West to the Mississippi
1t was Kentucky determination that
forced the Federal Government to keep
the Mississippi open to the commerce
of the West.
kentucky furnished its full quota of
troops to the Union army. and the loss.
es among those troops showed that they
fought valiantly. In every battle in
the West from Belmont to Nashville,
were Union troops from Missouri and
Kentucky. Had thess troops ben
transferred to the Southern side. every
conflict would have been victory for
the Confederates. Had the Kentucky
and Missouri troops at Shiloh fought
against the Union. Grants army would
have been destroyed and Chicago would
have fallen. Had the Kentucky troops
at Perryville fought under Bragg in
stead of under Crittenden and McCook,
Cincinnati would have become Confed-
crate headquarters, and the seat Of war
would have been north Of the Ohio
river. In one sentence, if the state.
ment of the Tribune were true, if Ken
lucky and Missouri had seeded, no
State could have been conquered back
into the Union. The loyalty Of the
Middle States saved the Union. -Cour-

WASHINGTON. D. G, March 2sst, 1892
Silver is more talked about at the
Capitol than the probability Of a war
with England, Notwithstanding the gen
orally recognized danger Of the latter
The silver men do not hesitate to charge
that the opponents of free coinage Oh,
tanned votes enough to make last week i
fight draw by methods that are dark,
and they fear that the same tactics may
defeat them upon the renewal OF the
fight this week they also charge that
some Of those who are openly voting
with them are secretly working against
them and that when the time comes to
vote upou the passage of the bill these
men will find some way to dodge vote,
not daring, for fear Of the wrath of
their constituents, to vote against the
bill.
The committee on Rules this morning
took up Mr.. Bland's proposition for the
reporting of another special rule, bring
ing the bill before the House again and
providing for the calling of the previous
question Immediately after its adoption
by the House, aud the shutting out of
all fillibustering motions. This rule
Will be reported, and then the tight will
be renewed and fought to finish. 1t
is the general belief that many Of the
republicans who upon the hnal vote will
vote against the bill will vote for the
adoption of this rule, but on the other
hand It is claimed that some democl ats
who are pledged to vote for the bill will
vote against the adoption Of the rule,
hoping thus to postpone the question
until the next sesVion. 1t is gong to
be very bitter contest, although it will
probably be short, ana. owing to the
surprising result Of last weeks battle
neither side is inclined to d. any boast,
ing. The republican leaders a:re count
ed upon by tie anti silver men to aid
in defeating the bill.
