THE sQUEAKING R0cxryc ctr,,p

At evening, when nights shadows blend
With fast-departing day:
When little heads grow weary
And playthings laid away:
Comes floating from the nursery,
Just opposite the stair,
The noiseful oscillation
Of the squealking rocking chair.
1t tells a journey Just begun
To the quiet land of sleep.
Where JOY and sorrow are both forgot
While angels vigil keep;
And not until its precious freight
IS safely carried there
VIII stop the measured motion
OF the squeaking rocking chair.
Little blue eyes that are tightly closed,
Little hands, that lie
Soft and still. tell plainly
The land of sleep is nigh.
A snowy bed and a sweet little boy,
Lying snugly and quietly there.
Bring an end to the harsh vibration
Or the squeaking rocking chair.
William II. West, in Inter ocean.

altogether a very extraordinary amount

seems to be that Mrs Irving is NOT a

felt an aversion for the stage. She

Col: Rip Ford Tells About the
Grand Possibilities of This
Country.

I 'N''N as hA''S ~ ShAOAi thill
liarly called Col. "Rip"-atiests
the great esourcrs of the lower r a
Grande valley in the following con,
munication, which Appeared in last
Sundays San Antonio Express
One of your correspondents in
wiring of tbs region adjacent to
the mouth OF the Rio Grande ob
serves.
dManyy years ago the Rio Graude
river from its mouth to Brownsville
distance of 100 miles, was =
stream. navigable for large steam
ers. It couihienced to close up
a5oat thirty years sg", aid now
there are many PAGES where there
is not over three feet of water. The
closing of the river mouth forced
the freight steamers 20 the passage
at the north end of Brazos Island,
and the river traffic was thing OF
the past. Lighter boats took the
freight from the end OF the island
across the lagoon to Point Isabel
and slow-tioving bull trans carried
it to Brownsville"
The mouth OF the Rio Grande is
thirty two miles, by land, from
Brownsville.
The mouth Of the Rio Grande
has never been closed. If the
mouth Of th.t stream Was unnaviga
HE how could steamer pass from
Brownsville 10 Brazos Santiago? It
is now navigaled, or has been with
in the last few years.
In years past large amount of
goods were landed each year at
B.azos SAnlisgo, The port Of entry.
The custom house Was then at the
old town of Point Isabel. Those
articles we've transported by the
steamboats, of King & Kennedy, and
some were carried on wagons and
carts, aud most Of them were land
ed at Matamoros, NJ, K. and Browns
vile. The civil war put an end to
that trade for the time being. AT
ter the conclusion of peace the
trade was never fully resumed.
The opening of roads, the building
of railroads, and other improve
ments caused other lines of trans
portation to be adopted.
The correspondent recommends
line of railroad from Brownsville to
Brszos Santiago. During the civil
war railroad WAS built. Il passed
IF Br"zns Island, crossed to BOca
Chica, which Is the southern bonnd
AIRY of the Island, aud was finished
to a ranch several miles above th,
mouth of the Rio Grande. The
current of the B ca Chica is ex
tiemeIy strong during the prevail
ence OF certain winds. The Island
OF Brezns Santiago is rather low. It
has been overlooked by waters from
the Gulf Of Mexico. If The general
government would erect works Ia
close the Boca Chica at he poirt
where it leaves the Laguna M4dre
aud also where it enters the Gulf
of Mexico, your correspondents pro
position might become practicable.
Th.re is no other impeachment from
Brownsville to Bocs Chics.
The section lying north of the
lower RIO Grsnde contains larg'
bodies of fertile lands. The "Sauds"
are about sky miles in width and
over 100 miles in length. They

END THE WAR.
The United States Offers to
Act as Mediator Between
Japan and China.
NO ANSWER YET GIVEN,
But the Prospect Is That 1t
Will Finally, Be Accepted
by Both Powers.

TOXIC, Japan, Nov. 12.-United
States Minister Dun has communicated
to the ministry the substance of an i'm
portant cipher cable proposition re-
ceived from Secretary Gresham at
Washington. 1T suggests that if Japan
will join China in requesting the presi-
dent of the United States to act as me.
diator in settling the war he will exer-
else his good offices in that capacity.
A similar proposition has been sent to
China. The cable was received by
Minister Dun on Friday and was pre-
sented to special meeting of the min
istry. An answer has not yet been
SENT The proposition presents grave
question to the ministry. They are
urged on one hand by the popular senti-
ment to continue the war and crush
China. On the other hand European
powers are threatening to intervene.
AS between these conflicting influences
the ministry find great difficulty in
reaching decision on the American
proposition, but the prospect is that it
will be accepted.
1t is learned that four days ago
France made proposition to the United
States to intervene.
