The Emigrants' Wagon.

Iue EnnlSrauCS WaSohs
| niiDH ~, 80 I;.s: -.
With a red, hazy simmer the
Texas prairie seethed and quivered
in the heat Of the summer sun.
Tired birds with dusty wings pan
ted beside the sandy beds of dead
rivers, thirst-crazed cattle paved
weakly at the roots of dying cotton
woods-and the brazen sun glared
over the desert.
A covered wagon drawn by two
oxen slowly clanked along the
road. A fery-eyed man with
sunken cheeks and bony fingers
sat at the front driving. An
emaciated woman, wan and ghastly
lay within, her eyes resting upon
him, her hands feebly caressing
a babe. Behind her, their bare,
bony limbs crossed in the last
death struggle, lay two other child
ren-a girl of perhaps fifteen and
and a boMa year younger. 3 the
wagon crushed across a; sandbed in
the run of a winter stream, a board
nailed to a cottonwood on the
bank caught the woman's gaze,
but her dim, glazed eyes could not
decipher the words it bore. She
glanced toward her husband:
"Thirteen miles," he groaned.
ITO night?" she whispered.
eyes, Lucy" he said, and, bend
ing tenderly kissed her.
For even these dying outcasts Of
the desert could kiss each other.
Grim death rode with them, his
yellow-fever hue rested upon their
parched skins, but love was also
there-stronger even than death.
And slowly the plague-craft
trundled onward toward the near
est town, where the man and wo-
man hoped to obtain water and
medical assistance-she, for the
baby; he, for her.
1t was dark when they came
within sight of the town, and he,
knowing the way, drove directly
for the public we'll.
"Halt," cried a voice. care you
from Brownsville?"
But the hollow-eyed, spsctre-like
driver needed not.
"This is quarantine" said the
voice, and a gunlock clicked,
ominously in the soft, hot night
air. "Halt, or I'll fire." 80 III !.
, Butthel hollow-eyed, spectre-like
driver needed not. ~ !.
i Two fierce flashes pierced the
darkness,l and the weary oxen
Fstarted Forward as the .succ ding
reports doomed heavily across the
plains. !. 81 aid .JI a,idi !,
The scent of water was in their
nostrils, and soon they were quaf-
find deeply from the trough be-
side the public we'll. The gaunt
driver neither moved nor spoke.
The woman was silent. ~ :
The weary oxen trudged on be-
yond tho town, and sunrise found
them plodding onward ..l5
All day the Western prairie
seethed and quivered in the red,
hazy glare of the summer sun, and
the plague-wagon with its load of
dead crept onward. Great, dron-
ing flies crawled about the, silent
faces of the voyagers,a and dusty
winged vultures dhoyered above.
One gaunt, red-beaked old fellow
for q time rode on the seat beside
the spectre.driver,t then, growing
bolder, plungedinto thei depths Of

For Wee President.

Congressman Cable, who is delegate
st-lsrge to the Chicago convention, thinks
the right candidate for vice president can
be found in the person of Representative
Gesry of California. In discussing the
situation Mr.. Gable said the other day:
Il have heard considerable talk about
the availability of Mr.. Gesry for second
place on the ticket during the last few
days, and confess the more I think of
1t the more there seems to be in it. The
idea of taking man from the extreme
west for the second place is novel one,
but when it is remembered that Cslifor-
mia. Nevada, Oregon and Washington,
have 30 electoral votes which might be
taken out of the republican column and
placed in the doubtful column by such q
q move there is added to the novelty of
the question very interesting practical
consideration.
that Geary can come to Chicago with
a delegation for him, but that his nomi-
nation would mean the carrying of the
state for the democracy, and that proof
of his ability to do so will be submitted
Something more is required. The
other three states would nave to send
delegations for him. And if that is done
/ frankly admit his chances are worth
fighting for. In that event / should re-
gard him as strong man for the nomi-
nation and one whose selection would
personally favor.

and delegates to the convention who need
only the assurance that the coast would
be carried to 60 into the convention and
do all in their power for him. He is. as
you know, one of the most popular mem
bers of the house.
you understand that all this is de-
pendent on Geary coming to Chicago
with al enthusiastic fighting delegation
for him and good assurance given that he
can carry the coast. If that is done there
is q good chance Of the second place be

al acquaintance with the electors of Illi>
nois. The Undertaking is large one,
but the judge seems wisely to have con
cluded that he cannot better discharge
the duties of his candidacy between now
and the form il opening of the canvass,
when he will have to go upon the stump,
than by giving some days of
the week to excursions of this
character. The Judge is tireless worker.
An earnest, he Is an unostentatious man,
affable without friyolitY, frank and manly
in bearing, sagscious counselor, and an
inspiring canvasser. He is not calamity
shrieker like his adversary, Gov. Flfer,
but an every day man, who. while he
knows that
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary,
inclines rather to the cheerful view.
Where he thinks conditions might be inn
proved by repeal of vicious legislation he
says so and gives reasons for his opinion.
dogmatism being no part of his character.
He is modest, but clear and forceful in
his expression of views.
These little unherslded jaunts of the
democratic candidate for the governor
ship OF Illinois are calculated to disturb
the repose of the republican brethren, who,
feeling sort of ownership OF the state,
have long abandoned this personal inter-
course with electors. 1t will not be long
before Coy. Fifer will be making simi-
lar canvass, forced to do so by the &C
tivity and capacity of Judge Altgeld.
The governor will travel about the state
on railroad passes. Judge Altgeld will
pay his own way. Gov. Fifer will be
accompanied by his official staff. The
democratic candidate has none.
As the canvass will not formally open
until September next, the judge will have
the summer months or so much OF them
as he can give TO the work OF a canvass
which is conducted on the wisest OF
lines.

Perhaps the first real cyclone that
has ever passed over Petersburg was
that which visited that section about
one o'clock yesterday morning. 1t
came from southwesterly direction,
and with a force so strong as to shake
dwelling houses and awaken their
sleeping occupants. The wind was ac-
companicd by deluge of rain. which
flooded The streets, while thunder and
lightning played n conspicuous part in
the storm. The damage done will
amount TO several thousand dollars.
Several hu.ydings were unroofed, in
Guiding the large factory ofthe Venable
Tobacco Company and the Center
.Iarket-house. This latter building
was mol only unr0ofed, but portion OF
il was blown down, and the loss TO the
city will be about s.. 900.
4 special meeting OF the City Coun-
Gil has been called for Friday night 10
take action looking to having the dam
ages repaired. Everywhere about the
city are huge shade trees which were
torn up by the roots ard blown across
the streets. On & side track near the
wharf was 4 train Of freight cars, all OF
which were unroofed, and one
of which. weighing 20,S00 pounds,
had been actually lifted off the track
by the force of the wind. A piece Of
timber thirty feet long, fourteen inches
wide and three inches thick, was taken
by the wind from pile of lumber on
the river front, carried through the ar
for distance of several yards and
hurled through the cabin of the barge
Excelsior from Philadelphia, moored
at the wharf The schooner Thomas
J. Seward, from Baltimore, anchored at
the wharf, was badly damaged by the
wind forcing the schooner Kate Oar
Iington into her. Other serious dam
age was done TO shipping.
The storm was also very severe in
Chesterfield county, where it demoiish-
ed barns and other outhouses. On the
farm of Reuben Ragland, just outside
of the corporate limits, granaries, barns
and stables were wrecked, and no two
planlls of the building could be found
on the premises nailed together. The
residence on the place was also demo!-
ished. The manager Of the farm, who
occupied the dwelling, hearing the
noise OF the storm, opened one Of the
doors when a gust of wind entered,
overturning the bed on which his wife
was asleep and taking oil a portion Of
the roof Of The house. MIR. Ragland's
crop of corn was ruined.
