, An epidemic of Killing seems to
be raging everywhere. The daily
press is full of accounts of all kinds
of tragedies, from every part of
the world.

The man who goes through the

not only violating the laws of God,

and of right ought to be, shunned
accordingly. Let grumblers form

FRETTJNG AND GRUMBLING.
By w. D. Cowley.
Many very excellent persons
whose lives are honorable and
whose characters are noble, pass
numberless hours of sadness and
weariness of heart. The fault is
not with their circumstances, nor
yet with their general characters,
but with themselves that they are
miserable. They have failed to
adopt the true philosophy of life.
They wait for happiness to come
instead of going to work and mak
ing it, and while they wait they
torment themselves with borrowed
troubles and fears, forebodings,
morbid fancies and moody spirits,
-tili they are all -unfitted for hap
piness under any circumstances.
In the domestic circle they fret
their lives away. Everything goes
wrong with them because they
jmake it so. Even the common
movements of Providence are all
wrong with them. The weather is
never as it should be. The seasons
roll on badly. The sun is never
properly tempered. The climate is
always charged with a multitude
of vices- The winds are everlast
ingly perverse, either too high or
too low, blowing dust in . every
body's face, or not fanning them
.as.Jney should. The earth is ever
out of humor, too dry or too wet,
too' muddy or dusty. Something is

which resulted , some time since m
the death of William , Dunovant.

The story of today's tragedy
gathered from the passengers on;
the train: Eldridge boarded the
Sap train at San Antonio and oc
cupied a berth in the sleeper dur
ing the night. He was awake
when the train reached Eagle .Lake
this morning and at that point
Calhoun boarded the train en route
to Houston, on a matter of business
It is not positively known that
Eldridere knew that Calhoun
boarded the train at that point.
Eldridge proceeded with' his dress
ing in the sleeping car, while
Calhoun walked into the chair car,
ignorant that Eldridge was on the
train. He went into the smoking
compartment of the chair car, a
narrow chamber having two seats
running across the car, and seated
himself next the door. There were
other gentlemen in the compart
ment at the time, but. A. W.
Turner is the only one whose
name is known.
