Oar realera my see. in «another column a
piece of doggerel under the caption of UA little
Xti^ narole," written &y Scabbard, whom we
talfe to be a defumn correspondent. He takes
tli? win of fancy and flys to etherial hights,
and snatches from the balmy atmostphere of
i n lunation the romantic style of Mother
G we therefore, #ive him the cognomen of
t;,S' •(. We have not heard of the oeenrrenoe
i'th? ewnt which he so vividly describes and
thinV lie U narating one of his romantic dreams.
W( would advise him to bathe his head in cold
water, for lie will be likely to take the brain
tevér, after that desperate attempt at writing
pjetry.

BY Oa*pes.
There Is a land qf pure delight
. yay over on HoliÉpn river,
Where whipowil's sing all the night,
And lovers love forever.
It is a land where I have roamed f
With boys and girls together.
It ia the land where few do rnourn
For those whom death doih s$ver.
j i * -0..- -
It Is the land wher^,health doth dwell
And people never borrow.
Thed -a there have left for hell
And won't return'to morrow.
The girls out there all do love Í
And néver give the mitten,
For if they do their lovers move,
And seek another haven.
The boys out there are very shy,
And wear not standing collars,
But on the girls they keep an eye, .
And business things do follow.

JJHar EditorsIn looking over the San An-
toSi% ledger of yesterday 1 see published a
speech of W^ P. |ienry. Candidate for sheriil,
said to have been delivered on the Cíbolo.
Mr. Henry is my candidal* for thatotike,
not from personal preference alone, but Because
I believe him the meat competent loan in the
field or out of üf ^s acts for the last six
months as QHy Marshal, are enough tp warrant
his election, were it not for the strong opposi-
tion of the defunct railroad Solomons who can-
dor nor will not appreciate modest worth! but
goon the principal that it is better to be,
hell, than second in Heaven.
I regret that my candidate should have
into thethands of petty scribblers who have writ
ten themselvaa to tl^evii and will, if
write Mr. Henry out of jtke office
back to where^lie WloogSP^Mr.
