For a word of love from me
Cut I all unyielding
Told yon it could net be.

Texaa from 1810 to 1874-Ita Railroad
Governor i:tc
n y J. sr. Moitrms.
The annexation of Texas brought on the
Mcxicm war wherein Gov. J. P. Hender-
son and thousands of Tcxans participated
and gained great glory at Palo Alto Resaca
do In Pal ma IJuena Vista Cerro Gordo
Molina del Rcy Chrrubusco and other fa-
mous victories of Gens Scott . and Taylor
which culminated in tho capture of the city
of Mexico and were followed by the treaty
of Guadalupe-Hidalgo February 2 1818
and tho anuexntion of California as well as
Texas to the American Union. . Of the gal-
lant .men tljat tpok part were those of
Col. Jack Hays's celebrated regiment of
which Sam Walker was lieutenant colonel
Mike Chcvallie major and Tom Green Ben

pio were captains. Most all these gallant
soldiers after distinguished careers sleep
with the dead; but I will conclude this
.paragraph with tho prayer of one of them
dipt. J. B. McCown Just before the storming
of Monterey: "Oh Lord wc are about to
join battle with vastly superior numbers of
the enemy and Heavenly Father wc would
mightily like for you to be on our aide and
help us but if you can't do' it for Christ's
Bako don't go over to the Mexicans but just
lie low aud kt-cp dark and you will see one
of the d dest tights you ever saw in all
your born days." This prayer has also been
attributed to'Threc-leirged Willio.
Hal all Mexico been annexed to the
Union it would in nil probability have
given peace and development to the revolutionary-loving
children of Montezuma and
rendered entirely unnecessary the sad fate
of tho amiable Maximilian and the down-
fall of the Mexican Empire. It might also
have afforded au outlet for the cgrocs of
the South and possibly thereby prevented"
the late civil war; but Providence' decreed
otherwise.
In 1850" Texas sold to the United States
a portion of its northwestern territory in
eluding Santa Fc fnr tho sum of ten mil-
lions of dollars. With this monev the
State paid its debts erected its public build-
ings founded asylums for the deaf dumb
and blind as well as sanctuaries for poor
uniortunato lunatics wliom sorrow or mis
fortune had rendered incapable of taking
care of themselves.
Two millions of dollars were set aside as
a common school fuud and six thousand
dollars per mile wero loaned to railroad
companies in oruer to laciutatc their con
struction. "
Tho Southern Pacific Houston and Texas
Central and Gulveston Houston and lien
dcrson R tilroad Companies etc. were char
tered. lmmigntitMi and capital flowed into
the State to such sn extent that in 1SC0 its
population was t0t215.
In 1 b I sdllsli pohticiac.s party spirit
and sectional animosity (engendered by tho
ngitation of the jdavery ouestion) placed
Texas with her sisterSouthern States in the
late deplorable and unfortunate but ever
memorable civil war between Americans.
Iu Virginia Maryl and and Pennsylvania as
.well as in Arkansas Missouri and all inter
veiling States TeXans jRuivd their blood
like water and for four long years fought
Me i and tiled until bt Andrew s cross was

During ttus time all internal improve

trationa of the Sute government 6ince 15 63
h.ve been very grievotw md are justly
odious..
The cost of these administrations in-
creased from a half million of dollars per
annum to ten times that sum and to give
an idea of how. after more than four years
of despotic rule over Texas GoTcrnor Da-
vis ii estimated the following incident
w hich took place towards the end of his
rtin is very afropot. In Corpus Christ'
or some other Western town there lived a
certain mart earned Montgomery who did
all he could to elect "Davis's candidate for
the Legislature and after the election came
opto Austin when Governor Davis true to
his promise gave Lim an office.
Montgomery started home" but at Lock-
hart heating some one abusing Lis friend
Governor Davis and calling him rery hard
names he struck the abuser and after a
very severe fight whipped him.
At Victoria the same thing happened
with a similar result but a little harder
fight.
Arriving at home Montgomery was in-
stalled into his office and commenced he
duties thereof when a third time hearing
Governor Davis very severely abused lie
again essayed to whip his abuser. But this
time his opponent although rather a small
man was well skilled in the noble art of
self defense and after a long and well-
contested struggle Montgomery sung out
'Enough 1" after which feeling unable to
fight Governor Davis's abusers any further
he sent in his resignation stating; his ex-
perience and the cause of his resignation
whereupon . Davis declined ' to receive his
resignation at the san e time ordering his
appointee to stop fighting with the very
pertinent remark;
"Were I to fight every Texan who speaks
ill of me I should want many regiments at
my back."
Ilia negro police his printing bill and
martial law record will stick to him like the
shirt of Nessus.
But notwithstanding the maladministra-
tion of E. J. Davis the II. and T. C. IL Ft.
was extended through the State to Ttal
Biver and to the cities of Austin and Waco
the Texas Pacific was extended from
Marshall to Dallas and Texarkana the In-
ternational was built from Rockdale to
Longview the Great Northern from Hous-
ton to Palestine and Mineola the Gulf
Western Texas and Pacific from Indianola
to Cuero and the Point Isabel and Browns-
ville railroad now connects those towns
while the B. B. B. and W. T. II. It. has
been extended west from Columbus towards
San Antonio as far as Schulenuerg.

Date or tfa Crucifixion.
HerrKalb the German savant In a work
recently published shows that there was a
total ecli pse of the moon concomitantly ith
the earthquake that occurred when Julius
Cit-sar was assassinated on the fifteenth o!
March B. C. 44. He has also calculated
the Jewish calendar to A. D. 41 and the re-
sult of his researches fully confirms the
f ids recorded by the evangelists of the
wonderful physical events that accompanied
the crucifixion. Astronomical calculations
prove without a shadow of doubt that on
the fourteenth day of the Jewish month
Nisan (April 6) there was a total eclipse of
the sun which was accompanied in all
probability by the earthquake when "the
veil of the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom and the earth did
quake and the rocks rent" Matthew xxvii.
41 51; while St. Luke describes the
eclipse ia these words: "And it w35
ab:mt the sixth hour (12 o'clock
noon) and there was darkness over all the
land till the ninth hour (3 p. m.) and the
sun was darkened" (Luke xxii 44.) This
mode of reckoning corresponds perfectly
with the results of another calculation our
author made by reckoning backward from
t!tereat total eclipse of April 10 181S
allowing for the difference between the old
and the new styles which also gives April
6 as the date of the new moon in the jear
A. D. 31. As the vernal equinox of that
year fell on March 23 and the Jews ate
their Easter Lamb and celebrated their
Erib or Feast of the Passover on the fol-
lowing new moon it is clear that April 6
was identical with Nisan 14 of the Jewish
calendar which moreover was on Friday
the Paraskevee or the day of preparation
for the Sabbath and this agrees with the
Hebrew Talmud. Thus by the united tes-
timony of astronomy archa;ology tradi-
tion and biblical history there can be but
little doubt that the date of the Crucifixion
was April G A. D. 31.
The Bridal To nr.
.
From the Boston Courier.
Young Spriggles and his Amarantha Jane
had just been married and were going
npon their bridal tour. They didn't; know
whether upon their return they would
board with the old folks or take rooms in
a private hotel. Being only a clerk Sprig-
gles's means were limited and he could not
expect much at first in the xvay of living.
"Of course" he said to old Dodg a
wealthy member of the firm Who had granted
him a three weeks' leave of absence " we
must be in style you know sir. I s'pose
you took a rusher when you were inarrie!.
I mean you took an extensive one and
showed your wife the sights."
"Yes" said Dodge with a nod "I'll fell
youaloutit. I made long preparations for
my bridal tour and the girl that was to be
my wife helped nic. We had it all fixed
and everything laid out beforehand. I
worked hard for it and she worked too. It
was to be the grand event of our lives and
we wanted that it should be a success. We
felt that as the new life opened 60 should
it continue. I was earning $300 a year.
That wis good pay for a salesman five and
twenty years ago better than three times
that amount now as things go. We were
married in the morning at the house of my
wife's father. Then we rode two miles to
the substantial cottage I had secured as a
home. My money had made the first pay-
ment on it and Mary's money had fur-
nished three rooms in it. And we ate our
first ' meal thereafter in- our own house
and I thence went' to my work and my wife
set about her work. It was a new life and
we were determined to succeed if possible.
And in that effort was joy. And in tho suc-
cess that followed was unusual happiness.
In less than three years my house was paid
for. and my homo waa my own. Come
storm or come sunshine we had a roof to
cover us a roof from which the hand of
man" could not turn us. I doubt young
man if ever a bridal tour was happier or
more profitable than mine; and I know
that the exercise of housekeeping upon
her own account was invigorating and
healthful. But then we married for real
earnest living and loving. We believe we
should find life's purest joys in the dis-
charge of life's sacred duties.". ''I declare"
pursued the old man with a glistening
moisture in his eye "I should like those
first blessed days of my own home life to
live over again. But it may not be."
"And" ho added with a regretful shake of
the head "I fear the young men of the
present generation will not lve them for
my viewing." ;
bDncreles walked away scratching bis
head. He wasn't sure that he had really
caught the drift of the old man's remarks.
The Mohammedan population in India
numbers at least thirty million. It is esti
mated that one-third of the population of
Bengal (sixty-six million) is Mohammedan.
There is therefore a larger field of labor
among the followers of the false prophet in
India than m tne lurkish Empire itseir
where the Mohammedans number only
about 16000000 or 17000000. In India
Mohammedanism is full of life and has re
cently passed through what may be called a
revival whereby the numoer oi the follow
ers of Islam have been greatly increased
and their adherence to Mohammedan prac-
tice has become more rijrid. As an instance
of their devotion to their faith it is men
tioned that an eloquent Mourn (doctor of
divinity) who came from Mecca . raised
within a few weeks $30000 for the erection
of a grand mosque in Serampore : and that
this was the huh grand mosque besides a
score ot smaller ones he had caused to be
erected since
his returj from Mecca five
years before.
Sueep os a Farm. The New York.TfvrM
says in answer to a correspondent: " it
certainly is profitable to keep sheep or! a
farm if rightly managed --even though the
price of wool is low. They are scavengers
on. a farm death to all weeds and shrubs
that are an annoyance to the tidy farmer
Besides the spring lambs if a careful se
lection of breeds is made will be found
profitable to sell especially the tnales in
the market. Americans are eatinsr more
and more mutton yearly. The object o
the shepherd should be to adapt his sheep
husbandry to the market nearest him; to
grow the kind of wool that sells the best
if the carcass is more in demand grow
the sheep which make the most and best
meat in the shortest time always taking
into account hardiness and easiness of keep
ing.
