BrOwnsville's Poet.

Bob HigdOn went to meeting,
Last Sunday | believe,
Went and had his feet washed
His brethren to deceive.
Tom Morrison was a preacher
But his heart was filled with sin,
And when he preached his sermon
He made Bob HlgdOn grin
Bob Higdon went a-hunting
And Morrison he went to,
They went to Little Sequachee cove
And rambled it all through.
When going back they saw hog,
Bob said: 81 have no meat,
And as Pm hungry now
| will take him home to eat.
Bob and Eek Dixon started
The hog thieves to find
And swOre that If they found them
They'd treat them quite unkind.
At last they found them;
They started on the run,
But Bob stopped their progress
AS he stood with loaded gun.
Can you guess then what happened
So funny and so queer
The cunning preacher faced them
With his hands up in the air.
He looked at them and shouted:
81 am an honest man,
And if you will not shoot me,
Prove it fully can"
But now they have departed,
With fiddle and with bow,
May those hogs spirits haunt tn EN-
Wherever they may go,

MENICo AND THE RIO GRANDE.

American enterprise is disturbing our
neighbors across the Rio Grande, and if
the Mexicans have their way it will cost
the United States Government n round
sum. Secretary Olney and Minister
Romero are busly engaged in discussing
IL claim of the Mexican government for
indemnity for the diversion of the waters
United States for irrigation purposes.
Minister Pomero states in n long official
letter that the city of Ell Paso del Norte
has existed for more than three hundred
years, and during almost all OF that time
until about ten years ago it's people have
enjoyed the use of the waters of the Rio
Grande for the irrigation of their lands.
Since then IL great many trenches have
been dug in Colorado and New Mexico.
through which the upper Rio Grande and
its ailluents flow, so greatly diminishing
the water in the river ut FL Paso that,
except when rains happen to he abun"
dant, there is II scarcity OF water from the
middle of June until March. He con-
bitches come within the prohibitions of
the old Gundalupe-lIida treaty against
any work which interrupts navigation.
Attorney General Harmon, however. is
positive that irriguting bitches wholly

the matter stands for the present 1t
seems hard that the greedy Americans
and their lands should drink all thc water
up before it reaches the Mexican settle
ment, but if the provisions of the treaty

be generous concessions on the part of
the United States.

TERRITORY IN VIRGINIA.
Senate Resolution Inquiries Into the
Validity of Rctroceding It,

The Washington Post says: The Senate
yesterday agreed to Il resolution CT inquiry
about the acquisition o: the teri itory in
Virginia, which was once n part of the
District of Columbia. This territory was
ceded back to Virginia, and the project is
to have it brought again within the juris-
diction OF the District. The subject has
often been discussed in the District, and
eminent lawyers have thought that the
territory could never be acquired again
except by the consent of the people of
Virginia. But there has always been n
difference o! opinion. which will proba-
bly, lead to further agitation of the mat
ter in and out of Congress. The resolu-
ton was introduced by Senator McAiil-
Ian, and is as follows:
Whereas, The United States has ac-
duired large holdings of land on and
near the south bank OF the Potomac
river, in that portion of the State of Nir-
ginia originally comprised within the
District of Columbia; and
Whereas, 1t is proposed to build II
memorial bridge across said river to CON
meet the city OF Washington with Airing,
ton Cemctery and
"Nhcreas, The United States main
tains the roads leading from the Aquc-
duct Bridge to the said cemetery there

to the Senate first, what proportion the
present holdings of the United states in
the State of Virginia, and within the
/ former limits of the District Of Colum
hia, bear to the whole territory originally
coded by that State to the United States
secondly by virtue OF what legislation
the Virginia portion Of the original Dis
trict was retroceded to the said State;
thirdly, whether the consttutionality of
such acts of retrogrcssion has been judi
cially determncd fourthly, what legs-
lation is necessary again TO secure TO the
Government exclusive jurisdiction over
either the whole or II part of such terri
tory originally included in the District OF

CHAPTER XXXIY.

We reached Alicante the 9th March,
after long, tedious voyage. During
this time ] had ample opportunity for
observing Mol, but with little relief 10
my gloomy approximations, She rarely
quilted her fathers side, being now Ms
sympathetic aud considerate of him in
his sufferings as before she had been
tloughtless and indifferent She had
ever gentle word of announcement
for him; she was ever kind and patient
Only once her spirit seemed 10 weary.
That was when we had been beating
about in the bay Of Cadiz four days for
favorable gale to take ms through the
straits. We We're on deck, sho and !, the
sails Tapping the masts idly above our
heads
"Oh, says she, laying her hand on
my shoulder and her wasted cheek
against my arm, "oh, that IL were all
ended"
She was sweeter with me than ever
she had been before; ii seemed ms II
the love bred in her heart by marriage
must expend itself upon some one. But
though this tenderness endeared her
more to me 10 saddened mo- and would
have had her Mt her tricks once more,
making months at my expense, For |
began to see that our happiness comes
from within and not from without, and
so fell despairing that ever this poor
stricken heart Of hers would be healed,
which set me n-repenting more sincere
ly than ever the mischief / had helped
to do her.
Az no such entertainments were TO be
had, this being the season OF Lent,
which is observed very strictly In these
parts, Dawson contented himself with
taking Mol ont 10 visit tho shops, and
here he speedily purchased pair of
olappers for her, tambour for himself
and q guitar for me, though we were
difficult 10 please, for no clappers pleased
Mol as those sho had first bought, and
It did seem 10 me that ] could strike no
notes out Of any instrument but they
had a sad, mournful tone,
Then nothing would satisfy him but
20 go from one Diapers 10 another seek
ing short skirt, a waistcloth aud a
round hat 10 Molls taste, which ended
10 his disappointment, for she could find
none like tho old
why, don't you like thisy" he would
say, holding up gown, "To my eyes
It's tho very image Of tother, only
fresher,"

morrow, dear, tomorrow, with plain
tive entreaty for delay in her wistfnl
eyes
Disheartened, but not yet ut tho end
Of his resources, her father nj last pro
posed that she should take u turn
through the town alone and choose foI
herself, "For, says he, - believe We
do rather hinder than help you with ON
advice IN such matters,
After moments reflection Mol
agreed 10 this, and, saying she would
meet M at tho posada for supper, left
rs, and walked briskly back tho way We
had come,
When she was gone, Dawson had nov
er.a word 10 say, nor ! either, for dolce
zion yet, had been questioned, ooul(
