LULING, Tex, March 2l.-The
death Of Ex-Governor Ireland has
cast a gloom over this entire section
Of the state. Texas has not had
many men like John Ireland.
A populist club was organized in
Belmont lately with twenty-nine
members, and this is only the be-
ginning, so those say who are now
enrolled.
Corn in this county was about all
in the ground before that splendid
rain OF Sunday came. Where 1t

done real good.
Farmers in town this week re-
port that they are putting in con-
dition their cotton lands, and that
when the ground dries little it
will be in splendid condition.
Alderman Walker has resigned

mayor, and this is case Of the

uses. To the other comes the
destruction and dsmnation and
degradation of its worst and foul
est.
So Ii is not in the night but in
the uses thereof that men are dam
ned or saved. Not in the quietness
of the outer scene, but in the quiet.
ness OF the inner spirit that the
great change is to be sought. Not
in the season but in the selfhood,
that elects in its divineness or
its devilishness TO consecrate the
night to holiness and cleanness
and beauty, or to unholiness, and
uncleanness and deformity. To
all who read this sermonI sthis
morning the words OF the admoni-
ton come. It is not in the night
that YOU are more saved or
damned than in the day, sbut
that as in the night all influences
are deepened and quickenedSand
intensified, as sounds are intensi-
fled in silence, so in the night it
is necessary that a double watch
be set over the tendencies OF life,
lest that which should be- to you
a means Of greater life become
instead a ministry Of greater
death.

DALLAS LETTER.

Special Correspondence.
DALLAS, Tex, March l9.-The
slush under foot is past describing.
The dirt on the bois dare pavement
after a rain, is slush indeed. In
many instances there are no cross
ings. There are very few places in
the city where the sidewalks are
not in sn intolerable condition.
This is kept up by the property
owners and If the city would only
see to it that crossings are placed
on the improved streets, and that
the improved streets are kept clean
at the main crossings there would
be fewer signs for boomers among
the working girls and women.
When the rain beats down hard
enough to wash away the accumu-
lated dirt, it is not near so bad on
those who have to walk.
The largest gathering ever as
sembled in any church here, was
present in the Central Christian
church upon the occasion Of Miss
Frances E. Wizards visit.
A revival meeting has just
closed at the Central Christian
church. There were twenty-five
additions to the church. Com.
mencing next Sunday there will be
protracted meeting in the First
Presbyterian church.
Rev. j. d. Rodnet, the new pas
tor of the Washington Avenue Bap-
fist church, has arrived.
The candidates for the office of
city tax collector are so multifar-
ious that it seems hard to decide
who to vote for. The two latest to
announce are S. S. Kirk, the hard
ware man and real estate agent,
and III. B. Strange, the former
cashier of the Fourth National
bank. Mr.. Tom Scott, the present
Incumbent, makes an efficient man
and everybody likes him. 1t lie
needless to say he will succeed
himself.
Mrs. Florence May Machiter,
who came to Dallas from the In
dian Territory some ten days ago
died at her boarding house. The
poor woman had been i'll for some
some time. She left a boy, nine
years old and a baby girl, three
months old. Friends OF deceased
telegraphed to have her remains
shipped to Eastland, Texas. Rela-
tives will take the children.
A second Schlatter has cast his
tents in Dallas. DIR. Flemming
will heal and cure, free Of charge,
all who come to him. He is a
regular graduate Of the two schools
of medicine, allopath and homeo-
path, and has his diplomas.
The retail clerks are becoming q
power in themselves. They have
at last been successful in getting
the majority OF the houses to close
at $3.50. They implore the public
not to patronize those failing to
close at that hour.

SEALED BY A SHOT.
A SINGULAR INCIDENT OF THE BAT.
 TILE AROUND ANTlETAM.

Union Soldiers Almost Famfshed For Lack
 of Water Discover & Spring-A ConGed-
 Sparkling Liquid.
 From the first peep of dawn Hooker, on the extreme right, having crossed Antietam creek the previous evening, had been pounding the Confederates and getting as good in return, and Mansfield in the center had been seconding Fight ing Joe's endeavors with varying suc- cess, so that it was fully high noon be- fore Burnside on the left received any intimation that his wing of the army was to have any greater share in the controversy than that of interested audi tors. Though there had been some brisk skirmishing in front of the left, all eyes in that quarter were turned toward the center of the stage, and when it was learned that the gallant Mansfield had gone down in the conflict there was many a pang of grief, for Mansfield was hero.
 While the troops lay massed by bri- gade in the open fields and broiling sun between the creek and the low bluff to the east of the bridge, they sought to pre- pare themselves for whatever might come by keeping their canteens filled with water. The creek, so near and yet so far, proved to be a danger line for the occupants of both banks of the stream, for it was almost certain death for either Federals or Confederates to ap- proach the stream, so that Burnside's s men spent their time by reliefs in pro- curing the coveted liquid wheresoever it could be found in the rear.
 Directly eastward from the famous stone bridge, and immediately to the rear of one of the massed brigades, and scarcely 200 yards distant from the creek, was found by some of the eager searchers diadem in the shape of a stream of cool, pure water pouring from the face of a slaty em bankment of scarce ly more than ten feet in height.
 During all the past time that this diminutive stream had been making it's egress from the bosom of the earth it had been permitted to spread itself out over the adjoining meadow land or find it's way to the creek through the shallow morass that formed at the base of the insignificant knoll from which it seeped.
 Never, perhaps, since the creation did such small trickle of water jump so suddenly into importance and usefulness as did the one in question, for the prac- ticed eyes of the water famished Yan- kees, who had learned by their experi- ence on the peninsula to smell water afar, followed up the moistened water course to it's source, and, having found the head thereof, it was but matter of few minutes till they had a solid stream of the sparkling gem of about one-haf inch in diameter pouring through a trough which had been im- provised from the bark of nearby sap ling.
 This improved condition of the little stream, becoming known to all the troops lying near by, proved to be the signal for general riot, for the strug- gle for the privilege of holding the can- teen under the spout became so bolster
