BROWNSVILLE.

Amid the shadows of the gloom
Flowers continue to bloom
And sunshine penetrates the cell
OF prisoners bound in river 5 dell.
The hooking bird IS singing still
In simple, sweet, peculiar thrill
That gladdens hearts surrounded by
The dismal waters from the sky.
Fair Brownsville Laws in quiet state
Beside the waters which of late
Have threatened her from every side
And quenched awhile her growing pride.
But bravelv vet She holds the reins,
Endures the losses, hopes for gains,
And quietly awaits to feel
The pulse of her commercial veal.
Her people are as firmly set
In firm beliefs as ever yet,
And prophesv that she will win
The battle of the waves again.
Her fields of waving grain and rice,
Submerged III water once or twice,
Have sprung refreshed III samples fine
From out beneath the waters line.
Already now the threshing mill
Is running DAYS and nights until
The harvest of the second crop
Has reached the market at the top.
Her gardens are a lovely sight,
Enriching owners day and night,
AS moistened by the recent rains
They turn the losses into gains.
The flowing waters gently glide
Through their canals along the side
OF vegetation paradise
Unchecked in growth by winters ice.
And laughing still the Brownsville lass
Is throwing kisses that will pass
To waters of the Rio Grande
Bemuddled with the banks of sand;
And she defies the flood to seal
Her happy thoughts and laughing peal
As gently still the breezes twirl
The tresses of this southern girl.
The Brownsville lad with hook and line
Has ne'er the time in which to pine
For that excitement grand and new,
Because there's work for him to do.
The trout and bass and reddish all
Are watching for the tasty ball
OF bait that bangles from his hook
In bulky form or pended crook.
No sooner does he throw it in
Than down it goes and up again
To feel the weight of bulky mass
OF shining catfish, trout or bass.
The hunter finds the duck and quail
In numbers that will never fail
And turkeys wild and fleeting deer
Continue still his heart to cheer.
He looks upon the river risen
Not as the bars of ghastly prison,
But smiles because the water brings
Ten thousand ducks and all such things
So now YOU see we thankful are
Because we live beneath the star
OF hope that never fails to give
The blessings sweet for which we live
CAUGHT ON THE STREET.

THE EASTERN SI1 U4TTON

THE EASTERN ST U.4TION.
Gen. Joe Wheeler thinks the Japs
made a mistake in landing their
army at the wrong place and there
by allowing the enemy to hold Port
Arthur
At the beginning of the war 1t
appeared to the interested observer
that Port Arthur was the objective
point of the Japanese army and
that the first effort would be en-
ployed in that direction. For a
time there was an appearance OF
concentration of effort both by land
and sea upon the fortress as the
first essential i'll driving the Rus
sian Bear from Manchurian terri
tory.
Months ago the fall of Port Ar
thur was regarded as imminent, as
outer posts were taken and the adj
ancing columns closed in upon
the almost impregnable fortress.
But meanwhile the main Amy had
ong begun to march northward,
after having cut off communication
bv rail and isolated Port Arthur,
and interest centered in the pursuit
of Gen. Kuropatkin's army to and
beyond Lao Yang where the fight
ing became desperate and the cas-
uaIties severe. There was an I'M
preston that the fall Of Port Ar
thur and the surrender OF Lao
Yang would be simultaneous, but
as the army moved OH toward
Mukden and reports indicated that
Kuropatkin was in desperate straits
Port Arthur was for time almost
forgotten. Then came the an
nouncement that Kuropatkin had
assumed the offensive and had
started southwark with Port Ar
thur as his objective point and re-
fef of the garrison there as his Ill
innate purpose.
Whether the stress of weather
which converted the highways and
camping grounds into pools of mud
and water rendered army move
ments extremely difficult or wheth-
er the troops were so completely
worn out after ten days hard fight
ING that rest was absolutely neces-
sarv there is all apparent lull, but
not a cessation of the fighting near
Sahke river, with both armies rest
ing on their arms but not sleeping
Or what is going on around Port
Arthur there is little report. buI
the sinking of Russian battleshlT
in the barber from the shore bat
teries indicates that Gen. Nozi
who has about SIS, 900 troops un'
der his command, IS not idle.
II will be three months or more
before the Baltic sea feet, now er
route to the East, can reach Por
Arthur under the most favorinG
circumstances and by that time th'
fortress should be in the hands o
the Japanese if they are ever t.
succeed in accomplishing its sur
render. By that time if Marsha
Ovama IS successful III drlv1n.
Kuropatkin further northward b,
a complete rout at Mukden, tn
laps will have isolated Nladivostol
and the Russian fleet from the Bal
tic NAV be met in the open sea o
denied a place of refuge by reasol
of the Japs controlling al the ports
But if Port Arthur still holds on
and Oyama be held i'll check wher
he is for three months the aspec
NAV be changed when the reinforce
ments have strengthened the Rus
sian position both on land and sea

Suit Against c. & D. Canal.

Judge Bradford, of the United
States Circuit Court at Wilmington
has handed down an opinion in the
case of Charles Gring VS.. Chesa-
peake s. Delaware Canal. Gring
asked that temporary injunction
be issued against the canal com
pany to restrain it from charging
him extra tolls and interfering with
his business, the claim being made
that he had already been damaged
to the extent of $4,000.
Judge Bradford held that the
charges made were so grave and
the affidavits filed SO conflicting
that the case ought to be heard and
testimony taken. He therefore
dismissed the application for a tenn
porary injunction and the case will
probably be heard on its merits.

Messrs. Balderston, Rawlings and
Cherry each related their ex-

opinion was that they proved a
benefit to the soil, sooner or later,
besides the excellent cattle food
they afforded.
The annual discussion on clover
occupied the attention Of the men,
bers for some time, each one seem
ing to have a different experience
to relate. What had proven a sue.
cess in one instance was a complete
failure in another and vice versa.
Mr.. Wilson thought climatic con-
ditions had more to do with,a good
catch Of clover than the prepare
tion of the soil.
Harry Maxwell had tried using
some dissolved bone which made
itself manifest from the first, but
ground on which it had not been
used showed equally good results
later.
Mr.. Wilson said timothy will
not exist long without it is sown
with clover.
George Balderston said red clover
would grow well for two years, but
that perennial could not be made
out of a biennial.
Messrs. Rawlings, Thompson and
Cherry were appointed a committee

As before noted the increase in the
