THE PALACE MARKET,
J.
great admiration for the man aud so
many of the lessons he taught, for
his generosities, his tenderness as
husband, father and friend, for his
brilliancy ami for his pure personal
life. While in Feora and other cities
his friends are taking action for a
monument, etc., his followers in
Dallas tire contemplating and are
determined on full co-operation with
any general movement in commemor-
ation of the distinguished dead.
The two most noted of Col. Inger-
soll's orations are those nominating
Mr. Blaine for the presidency and at
his brother's grave:
The funeral of Hon. Kbou C. In-
gersoll, brother of Col. Robert < L Iu
gersoll, took place at bis resilience in
Washington, D. C., June 'J, 1871L
I'he ceremonies were extremely sim-
ple, consisting merely of viewing the
remains by relatives and friends, and
u funeral oration by Colonel logcr-
soil. A large number of distinguish-
ed gentlemen were present. Soon
after Mr. Ingersoll began to read his
eloquent characterization of the dead,
his eyes filled with tears. He tried
to hide them behind his eye-glasses,
but he could not do it, aud finally be
bowed his head upon the dead man's
coffin in uncontrollable grief. It was
after some delay and the greatest
efforts at self-mastery, that Colonel
Ingersoll was able to finish reading
his address, which was as follows:
"My friends, I am going to do
'hat which the dead often promised
he would do for uie. The loved and
loving brother, husband, fattier,
friend, died where manhood s morn-
ing almost touches noon, and while
the shadows still were falling toward
the west, lie had not passed on life's
highway the stone that tnarkes the
highest point, but being weary for a
moment, he laid down by the way-
side, and, using his dreamless sleep
that kisses down his eyelids still.
While yet in love with life and
raptured with the world, he passed
to silence aud pathetic dust.
"Yet, after all, it may be best,
just in the happiest, sunniest hour of
all the voyage, while eager winds art1
kissing every sail, to dash against the
unseen rock, aud in an instant hear
the billows roar a sunken ship. For, j
whether in mid*sea or among the
breakers oi the farther shore, a wreck t
must mark at last the end ol each
and all.
"And every life, no matter if its
every hour is rich with love and
every movement jeweled with j
a joy, will, at its close, become a
tragedy, as sad, and deep,
and dark as can be woven of tic;
wrap and woof of mystery and death.
This brave and tender man in every
a wing.
"He who sleeps here, when dying,
mistaking the approach of death for
the return of health, whispered with
his last breath, '1 am better now.'
Let us believe, iu spile of doubts aud
dogmas and tears and fears that these
dear are true of all the countless
dead. And now, to you who have
been chosen from among the many
men he loved to do the last sad office
for the dead, we give his sacred dust.
Speech cannot contain our love.
There was- -there is—no gentler,
stronger, manlier man."

There is not a few of those citizens
who contributed so liberally to the
right-of-way fund for the (inudalupc
Valley Railroad, that occasion-
ally wonder what has become of
their money. They have a good
sized kick coining, because tliey w ere,
as wo remember, promised a train at
a certain date which liss long sinced
passed, and still no train, not even a
sign of a high pciued ollicial who
seems to be a necessary evil hi eUe
maintenance of a well regulated rail-
road. As the matter stands at pre-
sent we know nothing of how matters
stand, where is that gentleman that
went to New ^ ork to make "necess-
ary arrangements," in fact they only
know that they gave up their money
ami have received the blessed pri
vilege of wiiiting for 'further develop-
ments," which are in no hurry about
coming to light. If the (?. V., ever
becomes i real thing It will have to,
and doubtless will, lie built by either
the M. K. & T., or some other com-
pany other than the present one.—

The editor of this paper planted
some June corn about the first of
June, as an experiment, and lie
would now be glad to have the peo-
ple see what this corn will do. It bus
had but one tain since planting, is
now about six feet tall, and as pretty
and green as any we ever saw. The
land on which it was planted had
previously grown Irish potatoes. We
believe the June corn is a success.—

A Cincinnati man advertised to -ell
a valuable secret for fifty cents. He
stated that he would tell how he was
cured of drinking, smoking, swear-
ing, staying out at night, uoiug to
the races, gambling, a.id how he
gained twenty pounds in weight in
two years. Several persons sent him
.")() cents each, and here is the secret
tli**f received: "Just cured of all
bad habits namni by an enforced
residence for two years in the Ohio
state prison."
It is saui that Jim Davidron, one
of the negroes confined in the Travis
county jail, charged with the murder
of Mr. and Mrs. Kngleburg, near
Manor, lias made a fuli confession to
his father, Kdmond Davidson. His
supposed partner iu the crime, Sam
Watraus, is also in the Travis county
jail. There is no foundation for the
report that the people of Manor con-
templated lynching the pair. The
people will let the law take its course,

Adjutant (leneral Corbin. He was
responsible for more of the scandals
of the war than Alger himself, whom
he easily and continually influenced.
Corbin's latest brilliant play is the
remark that the correspondents who
signed the 'round robin' ought to be
"jourtinartialed and shot." Corbin
is the fellow who sent secret orders
to Shafter to pay no attention to
Miles, his superior, and also hurry
orders to Charleston to the Yale so
to get General Miles left. I'he
>hia Times says that the man
who would send treasonable orders
in time of war might well urge (His
to shoot offending newspaper men
in Manila! Corbin is one of the
barnacles that ought, to be scraned

The Terrell Index evidences the
fact that "great minds run in the

writer it remarks: "If a man'cheats

wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than this

unheeded will die; fires unfed will
burn out, and quarrels neglected be-
come as dull as the all but extinct

'The new cotton weighers' law has
been signed by the governor, and it
is a sweeping measure. Under the
new lew there can be no more private
weighing, and a penalty of £."> is im-
posed for each and every article
weighed by anyone who is not a
legally authorized public weigher.
There will be a public weigher ap-
pointed in every justice precinct.
The standard weights must be used
and there will be government inspec-
tion of scales and weights. The law-
will take effect in ninety days after
the legislature's adjournment.—•
