Editor Of The Laredo lines.
Sir; have the honor to
cali your attention to the fol-
lowing errors in your report in
yesterdays paper of the de-
sertion of Priyates Martin, Bell
and Siansbury.
Your report states that a
squad was detailed to go in
pursuit of these men. and that
the boundary line between this
country and Mexico. did not
stop them. and that they cross
ed the river with side arms
displayed You are in error
in stating that the squad was
detailed to go in their pursuit.
for It was unknown at the
times.the various squads were
sent out whas direction the
iugitives haditaken. You are
in error when you state that
they crossed the river with
their side arms prominently
displayed. Neither OF the sol
diers who crossed the river
were armed. but left their
arms at the bridge. Nor was
an arrest made in Mexico, but
the men were not put under
arrest until they reached the.
post.
do not know who thei in
formant of the Times is in re
gard to this matter, but here
after in treating of matters that
concern two nations it would
be well to zfnd out the facts
before talking so confidential
ly on questions that recon n
other people more than him
self. However the prisoners
were captured, and now are
safe, andion their way to trial
at San Antonio. Texas. Very
respectfully, C.M.CUREToN.
Post Sergeant Major.
In connection with the above
the Times will say that it is
very easy to make errors
when misinformed by source
thoroughly reliable. However.
the error which is considered
materially important, is in re-
gard to the. detail wearing
sidearms to Nuevo Laredo,
and it was natural for our in
formant to have made this
error, for the squad marched
down the hill and TO the bridge
with sidearms prominently dis
played, as stated in our articlei
yesterday, but we learn since
that the men deposited their
sidearms with the toll keeper
of the bridge.-Laredo Times.

Observing high days. holidays and
birthdays is something Of which great
many people are very fond. Ithas been
said that we need more holidays.
Granting this, but there are many per-
sous who never observe any, whatever
they may be.
There Is one day that Is full OF sug-
gestions-a day so linked with the his
tory of our country ,nut patriotic senti-
ments come to our hearts at its mere
mention. Washington's birthday
ought to have a special programme of
its own. 1t would be an excellent idea
&c make it history day, Stars and
Stripes day, to hold meetings and festi-
walls in COMMUNICATION of the great and
glorious struggle that gave us our lib
crty.
Every public school in the land ought
TO mark the event by suitable exercises.
As the schools close for this day, why
not make the afternoon previous gala
season, when the events of Washing
toms career may be reviewed, patriotic
addresses listened to, suitable music
rendered and entertainments, such as
charades or plays appropriate to the
time, be given by the pupils? Make it
day to be looked forward to; day of
delight; a day on which the young
and unfolding mind may grasp the idea
that such patriotism as the Father OF
His Country possessed is sufficient to
rake name immortal.
Teach them that love of country is
ono of the greatest of virtues, and that
only by loyalty and fidelity to the flag
and the great principles it represents
can the men and women of the future
hope to maintain that high position
which the United States holds among
the nations of the earth.
And for the young people themselves,
who are out of school and just Begin

be old-folks' concerts and entertain

Heaven that such man as Washing

ode for washington's birthday.

Welcome to the day returning,
Bearer still as ages now,
While the torch of Faith is burning
Long as Freedoms affairs glow
See the hero that it gave US,
Slumbering on a mothers breast'
For the arm he stretched to save us
Be it's morn forever blest!
Hear the tale Of youthful glory.
while of Britain's rescued band,
Friend and foe repeat the story,
Spread his fame Ger sea and land'
Where the red cross, proudly streamins'
flaps above the frigate's deck,
Where the golden lilies, cleaning,
Star the watchtowers OF quebec
Look, the shadow on the dial
Marks the hem of deadlier strife;
Days of terror, years OF trial
Scourge a nation into life.
10. the youth became the leader!
All her baffied tyrants yielJ;
Through his arm the Lord has freed her;
Crown him on the tented held.
Vain Is empires mad temptation;
Not for him an earthly crown!
He whose sword hath freed nation
Strikes the offered scepter down.
Gee the throneless conqueror seated
Ruler by peoples choice;
See the patriot's task completed.
Hear the fathers dying voice.
By the name that you inherit,
BY the sufferings you recall
Cherish the fraternal spirit;
Love your country first OF all!
Listen not to idle questions,
If it's bands may be united;
Doubt the patriot whose suggestions
Whisper that its props may slide
Father. we whose ears have tingled
With the words of doubt and shame,
We. whose sires their blood have mingie'
In the battles thunder-flame.
Gathering, while this holy morning
Lights the land from sea to sea.
Hear thy counsel, heed thy warming:
Trust us, while we honor thee!

In explanation of his efforts to induce

In explanation of his efforts to induce
immigration to Louisiana, Mr.. J. f.
Wellington says: Il am seeking to
bring here what may be called the over
flow of the Western and Eastern States,
not men of large capital but of means
ranging from about 5000 or upward,
indeed less in cases where it is apparent
that the prospective citizen is of the
kind to carve out success for himself
if afforded fair advantages. The pop
ulation in the sections in question is
gradually growing too large. The
chances in life of acquiring ones own
home are growing smaller. There is an
increasing army of those who are seek
ing this advantage, and in spite of the
fact that they have saved up enough to
buy farm where land is at moderate
figure, yet cannot afford to pay for it
at the tune of 500 per acre. This is a
most exemplary and desirable class of
citizenship, and Louisiana wants them,
and we are trying to get them and are
getting them"

At home stations the private soldiers'

a small sum is deducted from the private s

ton off, or else hanging by a thread. He
had spoken to her on the subject and she
had promised to see to 1t, but still the but
ton was not on properly.
He got out of patience one Sunday when
the missing button had made him late for
parade, and exclaimed:
Bother the woman I'll see if I can't
give her hint this time, anyhow"
He then took the lid Of tin backing box,
about three inches in diameter. drilled two
holes in it with fork and sewed it on to the
neck of the shirt that was next to be
washed. When. his washing came back he
found that she bad taken the hint; she had
