SABINE
PASS
is located in Jefferson
county, and is in the

PASS county, and Is in the
extreme southeast corner of Texas upon
Sabine Pass and harbor. from which it
now takes its name. The "Old Town." as
it is now called, was laid out many years
ago, and was a trading and shipping point
for light draught coasting vessels engaged
in lumber trade; for farmers in the vicin-
ity. oystermen. shippers of game, ETC.. for
a long time prior to the building of the
jetties and the deepening Of the channel
over the bar.
The town has a population Of several
hundred people. 1t has wharves for lum-
Der and general shipping; general mer-
chandise stores, groceries, butcher shops,
office of deputy United States collector,
British vice consul's Office. churches. no.

extending along the water front between
the limits of the two sites-about two
miles-and extending back as far as may be
desired.
The town. at its nearest point. is two
and a half miles from the Gulf coast line:
about four miles from a fine sand and shell
beach. which will soon be a splendid re-
sort, and four and a half miles from the
outer end of the jetties. 1t lies directly in
front of the finest harbor on the Gulf
coast, where the waters are deep enough
to float the largest ocean vessels and ex-
tensive enough to accommodate the COM
merce of a great city.

STORY OF THE LOST SILVER.
Il have taken rather fancy to one
fellow here. He is an elderly chap
that is, he seems elderly to me-but rs
he was only seventeen years old when
he fought in the Confederate Army he
cannot be what you call aged. lie told
us ii good story the other night while
we were all chattering like a lot Oh
women or birds or anything that Is
sweet He said that while the men OF
his family were all away and 1t was
announced that the women must leave
their home and come into the city they
tried to hide their family silver. vi
this they had Il great quantity. Some
of it had been given to the brides III
the Carey family (his name is Charley
Carey before the revolution by some
of the Lees and Careys on the other
side of the water, while many came
from friends i'll the colonies. The Wo-
men had nobody to help them. and ne
could not dig Il very deep hole. Ihey
were in Il hurry to get away and dld
the best they could do in the way of
hiding their treasures. When peace was
declared. they came back and looked for
the silver: but. alas and alack, it had
disappeared! \ few years after Nine.
Carey was sitting on the veranda one
afternoon when up drove an express wa
gOn in which was a big box.
The eXpressman asked. DO you be
long to the Carey family that lived in
this house on the Jackson road during
the war; She said she did; that she
was Mrs. Carey. He handed her not
only his book to sign, but receipt that
demanded her signature so that well
known jewcler might know it had reach
ed its destination. 1t took three men
to carry that box into the house, and
when it was opened there stood mag
nificent chest in which was every piece
of the lost silver FURNISHED and made
to look as if it were perfectly now. With
il was letter which said that this sill
yer had been taken by Il young man
in the Union army who at the time re
garded it as the spoilS of war. II never
entered his head that somebody of
finer feeling would think that this taking
was something little stronger until
he met II maiden fair. laid his heart
at her feet, and she condesccndcd to
pick il up Her great fad was old sill

dear, | have il present for YOU that / am

yer. indeed such silver as you never
saw ] must tell You how | got it, and
tomorrow YOU can go to the store with
me- look at it and decide whether the
old initials shall be taken off ana the
new ones put on.
After she heard the story her lady
ship displayed Il temper that her sweet
heart had never dreamed she possessed,
and there and then she called him Il
thief. and then and there she announced
that until that silver was returned to
the people to whom il belonged she would
never marry him. The consequence was
that he begged the lady would write her
a note, announcing the arrival of the sill
