A flash of memory bring to u
A thought o( good old times,
And coining buck to tlio present age,
We aec our fare filled w ith lines.
Aa we glunec backward, once again,
We Bee the deur old home;
The dear old fiiee buiint us still,
For we And ourselves alone.
We come ucross a letter old,
Which tells of love so true,
And then our memory Hies again,
To the day tho writer left us too.
From angel land lie w rites to us,
In words of beuuty rure;
He tolls of God in loving words,
And waits to meet us there.
We come across a little shoe,
Oh, mother-hcart, look back once more,
And see that tiny form, ao sweet,
Silently wafted to the other whore.
In memory comes its little voice,
Now never heard no more,
It little ringlets of golden hue
"Not lost, but gone before."
In dreams again our memory steals,
To backward glance at friends of old,
And tlnd that some have proven false,
While others stood as true as good.
We sec them now, grown old and gray,
Their forms with uge are bent,
Their vision not so clear us thou,
But still with lovc-llght lent.
Once more we linger in the past,
Ouly once, or is it ten?
Yea, ten times ten our memory Hies,
To joys and sorrows of then. f
We see them every day and hour, .
Our thoughts are never free,
For memory holds within her walls,
Fast visions for us to see.
From Texas.
Bio Si'KINhh, Tex., May 12.
Prr.iml.lv no stiite in the Union Is under-
going a more rapid tninnforiuution than
Texas. Farms are being successfully cul
tivated where not more than five years ago
it was thought that nothing nut grass
would grow, and the cowmen win) former
ly were veritable lords or this part 01 crea
tion, are moving on, going farther west,
even into Old and New Mexico anywhere
to get out of the way of the new comers
and where they can find a good range and
plenty of water. If these Immigrants were
only cowmen like tlieinselves the case
would be materially different, as they
would know how to meet competition in
their own line, but when it comes to seeing
a man sit down on a small patch of a sec
tion of land, and worse than all to see bim
cultivate a few acres more or less, they are
fairly bewildered, and there is nothing in
order but to vamose the ranch and go west
or north, anywhere to get out of sight of
the detested plow.
'One of the cow men said to me last
Week: "We've had to get out of the way of
the Methodist parsons with their psalm
b xiks and diciplino now the grangers are
coming down upon us, destroying the best
grass God ever made and are going to
crowd us out. I reckon I'll cut the draw
and go to Mexico;" and yet this man had,
not a neighbor within 25 miles.
The tradltiotud Texun aud cowboy that
w'e'reall of are fast disappearing, mid are
becoming so changed as to present no
marked peculiarities or characteristics ma
terially different from our own stockmen.
They have a sort of free, easy, "devil-may-care"
style abut them that to me is rather
attractive than otherwise, and I have rare
ly met one that was not intelligent, social,
quick-witted and decidedly companions
ble. Occasionally, however, when in town
they ' get full," and then they tire "bad
medicine" sure. They will ride furiously
all over town, whoop and yell like an In
dian, pull their revolvers on the slightest
provocation, aiuf raise the devil generally.
1 have seen none of these displays myself
so far, except some samples of their riding
and have heard some of their yelling, but
am told that these free exhibitions are oc
casionally given to undellghted audiences.
lv cowbovs is meant, of course, the em-
ployeH or herders. The owners are cow
men, ami these, as well as the sheep men,
are, so far ns I have met them, uniformly
keen, shrewd, often well educated and cul
tivated gentlemen. Accustomed as they
are to owning stock by the thousand head,
to handling nnd expending large sums of
money, to consider ten thousand acres a
small pasture, to riding long distances
across wide unbroken prairies, their ideas
are naturally ou a large and liberal scale,
and of course there is nothing small or
mean about them. Ordinarily they make
tharp bargains, but if they do get left there
is no whining. Theirs Is surely a manly
occupation, divested of everything effemin
ate and though, when on the ranche or
drive, away from the amenities of six Ial
life, they may wear coarse clothing and
acquire rudeness and roughness of ejieech
when In town and especially in the pres
ence of ladies, they look and act the gen
tleman. In a former letter I wild something about
fanning out here. Since then, on the 7th
of May, 1 procured samples of w heat, rye
and oats from different fields at Marienfeld,
w hich are now on my table and measure
as follows: Oats, 10 inchea; wheat 18 to 84
Inches; rye, 38 to 42 Inches. This surely
la encouraging, and goes far towards veri
fying the opinion of Father lVere and
others that crops do not need aa inuh rain
here as in other localities as the ground is
said to retain moisture longer In this than
in other soils. Rains have been super
abundant In the eastern half of the state,
while here there has less fallen than usual
Father Peters told me he had no doubt
whatever as to their success In fanning,
and has now gone to St Louis to procure a
thresher and to make arrangements for the
erection of a flouring mill at Marienfeld
this fall. "
The weather for tho most part has been
mild and pleasant. For a few days the
thermometer has ranged from 00 to 1)0 deg.
at 2 i. M., but the nights have been cool,
and I have found a double woolen blanket
and a heavy quilt on my lied decidedly
comfortable.

Musical Cleveland.
Ci.kvki.am), O., May 19, 181.
This city will rank second only to Cin
cinnati In ioint of musical progress and
culture in this state. During last week the
attention of three-fourths ol the people of
the city, Including educated and uneduca
ted ones, has been turned in a musical
direction, for the great event here Is the
"May Festival." This is the tldrd Jiicnnial
May Festival given by the Cleveland Vocal
Society, which is under the leadership of
Prof. Alfred Arthur. The only possible
drawback to the event was the lack of a
fine music hall in the city. The festival
was held In the old Tabernacle on Ontario
street, which .holds aixntt four thousand
people, but In spite of the pains taken by
the society to bide all defects and Improve
the general appearance of the main part of
the building it had the look of a great
dingy barn. The stage, however, was pret
tily decorated In white and gilt with a pro.
fusion of choice llowers and plants. J he
chorus numbered three hundred voices
and were arranged on the upper tiers of
seats with the male singers in the center
and the altos and sopranos on each side,
In the orchestra almost every musical
instrument used by Intelligent jioople now
adays was represented. Most of the ladies
were dressed in white with flowers, and
diamonds Hashed frtun nearly every ear.
One of the finest and most diflicult pieces
rendered by the stx:icty was Mendelsohn's
famous oratorio of Elijali which was given
on the first evening of the festival with the
well known basso, Myron W. Whitney, as
Elijah, he receiving a large share of the
applause. The remainder of tho cast con.
sistcd of Mr. A. L. King, tenor; Miss Hen
rietta lleebe, soprano; Miss Agnes Hun
tington, contralto; and Miss Kate Gerlach,
with a full chorus and orchestra.
Perhaps the more pleasing features of
tills festival were the tho afternoon con
certs, which were just as well attended as
the evening entertainments.
Among the noted ones taking part in
this festival were: Firstly, the trainor of
the orchestra, Mr. S. E. Jacobsohn, who Is
the great violin prodigy of Cincinnati, and
who brought several fine professionals
with him from that city. The chief attrac
tion was supposed to be Madame Trebelll,
who Is an old celebrated singer, she having
nade her first appearance in "Trovatore" a
number of years ago. She came well deco.
rated with royal medals, a gold medallion
of the King of Sweden and one. of Den
mark being worn by her, and she also wore
an elegant diamond and Topaz pin present
ed to her by the German Emperor. At
the Wednesday nftormxm concert she was
lressed In n handsomely embroidered
lectric blue silk, while her wrists, neck i
and ears blazed with magnificent dia
monds. She made by far tho handsomest
appearance of any of the songstresses, but
her voice, although a powerful one, did
not please the Clevelanders so well as that
of the contralto, Miss Agnes Huntington,
who was the star of the festival. The lat
ter has a rich, sympathetic voice that will
make her win favor with any audience she
happens to sing for. Then she Is young,
not more than twenty-four, and has been a
professional u little less than two years.
Last, but not least, she is very pretty and
has pleasing manners. At the Wednesday
onccrt she w as dressed plainly in a garnet
velvet and white satin. After singing in
the most lovely manner possible a triple
number of German songs, she was brought
back to the stage by a perfect storm of ap
plause and delighted the audience still
more by singing the "Mocking Uird" with
trill variations. At the same concert Miss
Henrietta lleebe, who is known to some of
our Ottawa musical people, sang Mozart's
Dore song, and responded with the "t'ary
Dance," by M alloy, I think. Madame
Trebelll sang a sparkling aria from Lucre
tin Porgia, which was suited perfectly to
her voice and style, but her second selec
tion, "Kathleen Mavourneeu," was just the
rewrse of suitable, for it is one thing to
sing a brilliant aria and another to sing an
Irish love song In a touching, sympathetic
manner. The remainder of the pro
gramme for that afternoon was excellent,
Mr. Jacobsohn giving a line violin solo,
Mr. King binding Verdi's aria from
"Louisa Miller," and responding with
"Across the Far Blue Hills, Marie." Mr.
11. L. Fulkerson, who Is a Clevelander
lately returned from musical studies In
Eimle, sang, "Oh, Swallow, Swallow," by
Mrs. Moncrief. The concert closed with
Chopin's grand waltz played by the full
orchestra. There were, of course, other
singers oi more or less local reputation
who took part In this entertainment, but I
have not time to mention them. The tes
tlval as a whole, which consisted of five
entertainments was a tine success. The
Cleveland Musical Society deserves the
highest praise for its labors to improve the
musical condition of the people, and the
greatest proof of the appreciation of the
citizens waa bIiowd by the Immense crow ds
that filled the Tabernacle at both evening
and day entertainments. Akdk.

MIDLAND,
Mention has been made on several occa
sions heretofore of a joint stock enterprize
by a company of which John A. McCler
nam! of this state is President und Dr. J.
O. Harris, of Ottawa, Secretary, the nub of
the enterprize being the laying out and
building up of a city in Texas, on her big
Pacific, railroad, to be called Midland. The
location of the proposed town is in the
midst of what in Western Texas are known
as the "Staked Plains," a vast undulating
prairie, measurably destitute of timber or
running streams, but covered "with such a
growtli of native grass as to make It the
paradise of the sheep and cattle men. Or
dinarily, on any railroad, there ought to be
a town at least every tea miles, but the
nearest town to "Midland" on the east is at
Big Springs, 40 miles away, and the next
town west is still farther off. As these
"Staked Plains," with their vast cattle In
terests, need a central gatherlngand trading
point, and the lands furthermore have been
found susceptible of profitable cultivation
as wheat and corn lands, and abundance of
water Is attainable, in wells from 23 to 40
ft. deep, the Idea of building up a town
there is certainly far from extravagant.
In order to give the new town a proper
send off or "liooin" a grand "excursion"
was arranged over the Texas Pacific and
its connections, to attend the great auction
side of lots at Midland that took place on
the Hith Inst. The excursion seems to have
been a success, and several hundred people
attended the sale. Some five hundred lot
were dNpoped of, for a sum aggregating
about $30,000, when the sale was stopped.
Among the purchasers we notice the names
of I. H. Ilitt, J. I J. Frawley and others of
Chicago, N. 15. Judklnsof Springfield, and
J. O. Harris and Miss Gertrude. Harris, o
Ottawa, 111.
As to the prospects of the town, the re
porter of the Dallas lit raid, who accompa
nied the excursion and attended the sale,
bidding off several lots himself, writes:
An emigrant home is to be erected here,
a hotel of seventeen rooms has been con
tracted for, to be erected in sixty days; Mr.
E. C. Gilbert, of the Abilene Reporter, se
cured such a number of subscribers as to
jnstify him in the establishment of a news
paper at the town, and in less than two
weeks the first number of the Midland En
terprixe will spread its banner to the breeze.
Not less than fifty houses will be erected
here in the next sixty days, If lumber and
other material can be obtained. The en
terprising individual who establishes a
lumberyard in Midland will realize hand
some returns, and all kinds of building
material will be in great demand.
Should "Midland" really shoot up Into
another of those cities so common on our
great railroads through western wilds,
which, though mushrooms in the rapidity
of their growtli, are mushrooms In that
sense only, as otherwise- their growth and
stability are permanent and substantial,
one good Ottawa man, at least, Dr. J. O.
Harris, will bo so far the gainer that the
venture will very probably make him the
owner of a comfortable little fortune.

His Small Invkstmknt A Brooklyn
young married man tells tills pretty story
to the X. Y. Herald of the outcome of his
little investment with the great banking
firm of Grant fc Ward:
A member of the Ward firm of blind
pool financiers in December last met a
young man who resides in the Fourteenth
ward, and wiiom we win can dim. -jiejio;
Jim!" said lie, "why don't you put your
money with us and make something r
"Put my money with you!" exclaimed
Jim. " W'liv, how far do vou suppose it
would go" I've only got $300." "Well,
put that in," said the 'financier, "and It will
make money for you. It will all come
back." Jim did so. In March he met
tills gentleman again and 'asked him how
the investment w as going on. "Oh, I don't
remember just how you stand," said he,
"but it's all right. Come over on the first
of the mouth, when we strike our balance
sheet, and you can see just how you come
out." The young man called about the Stii
of that month and was told that there was
just $7,300 to his credit. "What!" lie ex
claimed, ".7,')00 I never had so much
money In my life, and I'll leave it with
you to make more." A few weeks later, in
April, he returned to the office mid said
that Ids wife seemed to think that she
ought to have a little house of her own,
aud sl.e had a bargain in the purchase of
just such a man who was in need of ready
moner. The contract bad been signed by
him n'nd he would draw out $7,000 from
the firm, leaving the $300 with them for
such further profitable investment as tliev
illicit see fit to make. Jim got his check
for '$7,000, walked out, paid for his bouse
and obtained the deed therefor. Now he
says he has 'lost' $500 by the failure of the
firm, it's a good story", aiu't it and it's
true, said the assessor, as he walked away.
lilieumatism Is the most subtle, and ex
cruciating disease flesh is heir to. Neu
ralgia, sharper and more erratic, Is as much
of an enigma. Science has proved very
noncommittal when asked to reveal a spe
citic for them. Hut at last she has con
sented. Atiii.oimiouos Is the touchstone
she has provided. 11. S". Chandler, of The
lull pendent. New York, says that "one
iMttle of Athlopiiouos entirely cured him
oi rheumatism, from which he had suffer
ed for a year and a half."
The latest Chicago craze is to have your
hdr "singed" Instead of cut w ith shears or
clippers. One of the finest shops in Chi
cago, situated on Monroe street, basquitea
trade worked up In the singeing; business.
To singe a person's hair, the burlier lias an
adjustable gas jet with the blaze turned
down very low. Then he runs the comb
through the customer's hair, and, holding It
there, moves the tiame around and singes
off as much as he wants.
This "singeing" is popular from the fact
that it is said to restore the hair to its orig
inal color, and was discovered bv a French
man in Paris, who had gray hair which
was bv accident bunied off and in a few
weeks came out again in a dark brown or
its fonner color.
Columbia River Cannery.
Mr. George Home, one of the largest
canners of fish, on Columbia river, Oregon,
says that he sfuffered with rheumatism for
seven years, havlug spent six months at
Arkansas Hot Springs, anil at Paso Itohlcs
Springs, t ab, four months In every year,
without benefit. Finally he tried St. Ja
cobs Oil, the great pain-cure, and In a short
time all stiffness and soreness of the joints
disappeared
Poultry Raising.
Mr. Editor: In December 182 Icon-
stria ted two very crude hatchers, designed
from some good points of several others I
had seen. I filled them with eggs and thoy
worked fairly well. I kept them going
from December 1st to July 1st, clearing In
that time $t.30 over and above everything,
and that, too, in spite of all the high price
of feed, and the fact that I sold my chick
ens at low market prices. The highest I
got for them was $(J per dozn, and the low
est $:).3.. During that time I attended to
my regular business without let or hind
rance. Helieving this to be a good return
for this amount of work, I began to look
around for a more perfect hatcher, and my
attention was directed to the C. S. incuba
tor. In July I procure J instruction from
J. W. Main, New Concord, Ohio. He is sec
retary of the N. A. Poultry association and
lie will send directions for making one of
these hatchers to any one sending him
three 3 cent stamps to prepay jMistage. I
made one that held 250 eggs, and my suc
cess with it was all that I could wish for.
I then had four more made, and have just
taken out of these five hatchers l,0:t() chick
ens out of a little less than 1,200 eggs. I
believe I am placing it modestly when I
say tliat I expect to clear if 2,500 by July
next, besides attending to my regular bus
iness. There is no business as profitable
as this is and there is ho business that re
quires so small an amount of capital to
start on. There is no necessity of men try
ing to hid'.' their, husiu"ss any more than
that of raising wheat and cattle. "The field
is the world," and the world, like Oliver
Twist, is dying out for more. Poultry is
getting higher every year. There are
thousands of young men now in the coun
try who are teachers, clerks in stores, and
various other avocations, who look forward
to the time when they can get a start in
some lucky business. The way is now open
to them all if they will only profit by It.
Then there are young women who are de
pendent on some father or brother, who In
one year could place themselves high above
any dependence, if they only would. Do
not wait until spring comes, but get your
directions and make your hatchers now.
Try them once or twice so as to become fa
miliar with them, ana then you w ill be able
to start spring trade. S. S. Johnson.
During the inclement seasons something
is needed to tone up the system. Baxter's
Mandrake Hitters will do. Lutz tfc Hriggs.

A novel use has been found for sawdust.
Some one has recently secured a patent for
substituting it for sand In plastering for
houses. 1 le claims for it that it is cheaper,
lighter, warmer, more porous, and by its
nonconducting qualities renders rooms
rHiiiible of retaining heat much longer than
ordinary plastering. If these claims, or a
majority of them, can oe substantiated, we
should judge this to be no ordinary dis
covery. A lumbering town like Muskegon
might readily supply enough of the mater
ial now w asted to plaster as many houses as
there are in Chicago. The extreme light
tirss of the niaterbd renders it possible of
shipment lonjf distances at moderate ex-
