Interview with Mascot
Deputy Sheriff Rea Is bncl, from Lit
tie Rock, whore he went to Interview
the convict, Allen, or Mascot us he
was known here, IN mattcrg relating
to tho celebrated Holmes case.
Mr., Rcu's theory is that both Of the
Williams girls were murdered, and he
has come back from Little Rock more
thorouEh@ imhued with the Idea than
ever before.
He says. from hin interview with
Mascot he ls satisfied he knows all
about Holmes swlndling operations,
but little, u anything, about the muir
der eases The real name Of Mascot.
who H. now an Inmate OF the Arkansas
penitentlary IS W. r.. Caldwell, ana
MS mother resides In the city OF Lit
tie Rock
Mr. Rea says the story sent out from
Memphis that Mascot could have
known nothing or Holmes operations.
ON account Of being an inmate OF the
tennessee ponltcntiuTy at the time.
w wholly Incorrect Mascot was sent
Ia the Tennessee peniteutiary In 1874
! Tor horse theft and was pardoned
March 90, 1852, Consequently, he has

PANHANDLE CROPS.
Prosperity Ahead for
Northwest Texas.
CORN FOR THE CATTLE.
Begins 10 Look Like They viii Have
Very Prosperous Year in
That Country.
CORN FOR THE CATTLE.

The reports Of crop conditions in the
Panhandle country which have been
received at the headquarters of the
Fort Worth and Denver railroad COM
pany for the last week, indicate that
there will be the largest feed crop
ever known In that part of Texas this
year. Corn has been extensively
planted and promises a magnificent
Yield. There will also be an abundance
OF other feed crops. and altogether the
outlook Is promising for prosperous
season, followed by a general revival
OF business. Large numbers of cattle
Will be fattened and shipped direct TO
market. instead Of being sold to feed
ers. Thus II will be seen that there
is a very good prospect for better times
ahead in northwest Texas.

REV, L. w. BRIGHAM.

We regret exceedingly to announce
that this brother has resigned at Ma
comb and Table Grove, and closed his
passionate with the last Sunday in the
year 1894. We have not even the privi-
lege of announcing his continuance in
the pastoral work, and again regret
that he feels obliged to retire from the
active work of the Church and enter up
on secular life. His impaired health re-
quires rest from mental labor and for
year at least he will not accept a pas
torate.
The Macomb Eagle notices this re-
tirement as follows:
Rev. L. w. Brigham. pastor of the Universal
St church. this city, has resigned his position
here as pastor to take effect January 1, 1895.
Mr.. Brigham is loved and respected here, not
only by the entire membership of the Unver
salist church. but by the people of the whole
community. He is an able and highly educated
man, most consistent Christian and Jealous
worker in his Masters vineyard. The church
under his care has flourlshed. The church and
people generally regret to have him leave us,
at least, to enter business more conducive to
health. We understand that he has secured a
situation with the G. M. b. A. Insurance Com
pany and will make his headquarters with his
family in Chicago. Our best wishes go with Mr..
Brigham for his success.
Mr. Brigham has labored here with decided
success for several years and being of social
and genial disposition, has made many warm
friends who will never forget his kind words
and pleasing counteDance, He is a pleasant
and agreeable cOnversatiOnalist and an eloquent
devoted minister. Few men are capable of
making friends of lasting nature as is this
whole-souled, kind-hearted and self-sacrifcing
friend and minister, The Eagle records this
item with sadness as we regret his health has
made it necessary for him to leave u.s."
Bro. Brigham leaves Macomb and
Table Grove in good condition and these
parishes will settle another pastor as
soon as possible The work that has been
accomplished under their late minister
will endure and make the field more
fruitful for another worker. In the
dearth of ministers that is now upon us
the retirement OF Bro. Brigham is
great loss We must, however, bend to
the inevitable, and part with him for
season. Since his illness with the grip
two years ago, Bro. Brigham's health has
been much impaired. With rest from
pulpit and parish work for year we
may hope for his return to the ministry
in improved health, to again take up the
l. L .s.L. L L
cessful, and in which he has made an
honorable record for himself and the
Church.

connection with the rescue of fugitive
slave. but escaped trial on account of a
defect in the indictment.
Holding such views and having had
such experiences, when the war broke
out it was matter of course that he
should be found at the front fighting in
behalf of the principles for which he had
already sacrificed much. His war record
was brilliant one.
He entered the service as Captain of
the 5lst Massachusetts, Regiment. and
afterward became Colonel Of the South
Carolina Volunteers, regiment of
freed slaves. While in command at
Wilton Bluff in August. 1868, he re-
ceived a serious wound, and for this
reason was compelled, some months
afterward to resign from the army. He
returned to his native Cambridge, where
he has since resided.
Col. Higginson's public life did not,
however, close with his retirement at
Cambridge. He was member of the
Massachusetts Legislature in 1880-81,
and member of the State Board of ed
ucation in 1SS1-S3. Like his friend and
contemporary, Edward Everett Hale,
his voice and pen have always been at
the service of every worthy cause.
Col. Higginson has been very happy
in his home life. His residence is plain
looking structure, combining the Queen
Anne and the old Colonial style, but
very cosy and homelike within. He
writes all the better for his quiet and
housekeeping environment, and for the
wide circle of his social and personal re-
lations with the best men and women of
his time. His literary work is done in
the morning, and he seldom takes up
the pen after the task of the forenoon
is accomplished. His brief essays for
Harper's Bazaar are written rapidly, and
at single heat; but his other work is
done slowly and deliberately, with care
full elaboration and thorough revision.
In this manner he wrote his review of
LII. Holmes Emerson In bD6 NaIlOD,
and his essays in the same periodical fol-
lowing the deaths of Longfellow, Emer-
son, and Phillips. At present he finds
great attraction in American history,
and his principal work is being done in
that direction.
Colonel Higginson has done his best
literary work as an essayist and histo-
rian. In both of these capacities he has
served his generation usefully and we'll.
His best known works are his "Oldport
Days collection of delightful sketches
of New England life, his Life of Marga-
ret Fuller Ossili," and his History of
the United States" In addition to all
else he has been a regular contributor
for years to such journals as The Inde-
pendent and Harper's Bazaar. Nearly
every number OF the la ter journal in
recent years mas contained an article
over his initials.

IT is profitable, therefore, to serve
God. II is asonable service. 1t sat
isles the needs of our higher nature.
God created us with religious nature
which leads us to seek some higher
power to worship and serve. That power
is the greatest and best Being in the uni
verse. He has blessed us from the first
moment of our existence, and it is rea-
sonable for us to render some offering of
gratitude in return. And doing this al
ways brings to our souls peace and JOY.
Submission to God brings us into har
mony with him and his works. This
gives us the purest enjoyment and trans
ports us into that calm and serene at
mosphere which the habitual transgres-
sor of Gods laws never enjoys. Our
souls are in unison with all the sweet
and ennoblipg influences of nature as
we'll as with the providences of God and
the laws of his government, and thus we
are enabled to avoid many irritations
and disturbances which make the life of
the sinner so wretched. If God be for
us, who can be against us?' Our love
for God will make it easy for us to obey
his commands and as the legitimate re-
suit we shall be filled with 10y unspeak-
able and full of glory
