'? . c*,- v r" V: m f %3r ' - * - ' J> a Si8? Something made of nothing, tasting Very * sweet; A most delicious compound, with ingredients complete; But if, as on occasion, the heart and mind are sour, It has no great significance; it loses halt its power. Something made ot nothing, and never twice the same, Though *tia known in every country where love has had a name, It is certainly meant for giving, though 'tis sometimes bought and sold, And like coffee and potatoes, it is not so good when cold. It oft appeases disoords, when words have failed to please, Whether bestowed caressingly or given just to tease; For a laugh will often save one from doing something worse, And the lips that taste this sweetness are seldom heard to curse. 'Tin the strangest, oddest mixture, this some thing made of nanght. Which is never seen or handled, although 'tis often caught; Wh ieh will not spoil in keeping, whatever be the clime. For tnis something made of Nothing will stand the test of time. ?Mary K BueU. (For the Lexington LispatohJ Letter from Texas In my last letter I left the readers of the Dispatch jast as I stepped - from the train at Waco, havifcg com-ont discomfort or fatigne, thanks to the railroads which have reduced the time from six months, that the slow ox team required, to foar days. Waco is booming, and the boom has come to stay. "Pbcenix like," this little city is rising from the ashes of neglect; she is potting on a new frock, and, in my opinion* soon she will outstrip all of her sister cities in the way of enterprise and. progressiyeness. The perseverance and coarage . that seems recently to have been infased into her people, as well as all parts of central Texas, in reference to their great manufacturing advantages, will resnlt at no distant day in making Waco the metropolist of the State. The advantages of Waco for the establishment of mannfactnriog industries are so eminently great and pronounced that it reqnires no little space to demonstrate their importance. I have the time jmd yon the > space to give them in details bat to ' do po my letter wonld be too long. Besides the extensive mannfactaring advantages here, there are many other improvements going on. The water works, which are at present on-j der construction, are within them- i i selves a big thing. On an eminence in the western part of the city are two artesian wells, each being over eighteen hundred feet in depth and discharge water soffioient for the oon' 11181 lUIHUUgW IIUU Uliliiaise presented by Waoo are surpassed- by j - few other cities, if any, of eqaai pop- j lation in the Sooth. Her religions advantages as well as her educational facilities are of the very highest character. Besides numerous public sohools, which run ten months in the year, "Waoo has Hill's Commercial College, for yoQDg men, and Boler University, for both yonng men and ladies. Hill's College is a grand structure situated in the eastern part of the city. It has an able facalty. Boler University is in the saporbs of the city, and is more than grand in every reBpect. The young ladies that go there are so refined and sweet?in fact too utterly too-too for anything. A stroll over the city, in company with Dr. W. F. Corley, a former citizen of Lexington, showed us many beautiful residences and pretty homes, which seem to be homes in every sense of the term, hemes where are good mothers and happy children, and where God's name is loved and revered. Waco people are a chnrch-goicg people. She has ohurohes of every denomination. After a stay of one week at Waco, I passed down the Brozos valley for abont 100 miles toNavasota, arriving there on the 28th alt., at 8 o'clock. One hour was spent in looking over the business portion of the city. Then procuring a back I was soon on my way to Grimes county. After about ft aotffin JrivjQ brOUgfat me Io our old friends, MrjSauadataJBL. Corley, who is now living a happy life with his pretty little Texas wife, spending a pleasant night with him. The next morniDg we went to Red Top, where I met several former residents of Lexington connty. The most jolly one among them being ocr j old friend, Mr. Daniel Bookman, who I kept np an almost continual roar of I laughter by his telling his funny i jokes. It was not many days before ! I met Mr. Wade Harmao, who has | shown me all the kindness that any j one coald have done at such a busy season of the year. Many thanks to j him for the same. ftrimes connty is a prairie district j not vet traversed bv railroads though ; very thickly settled. She has a va- j ried surface. The north part of the I coanty is level, black waxy land and ! very productive. Grimes county can- j not well be excelled in farmiDg. Her j farmers farm on the latest style, nse : the B. F. Avery implements and will have no other. Chablie C. : Prairie Plains. Texas. If your cough keeps you awake and restless by night, take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and obtain immediate relief.

[Frorii Our Regular CurrtppolnieLu. ] Washington, April 25, 1880. Chief Justice Fuller has auronnced that the United States Supreme Court would cease to hear arguments on the 26th iust., and adjonru from then until the 3rd of May and then adjourn for the term. All the laws passed by the last Congress have been published in book form by the State Department, and copies may be obtained for 55 cents each. Senator Wade Hampton is still here, and be says he does not expect to leave until ex-Governor Thompson, of South Carolina, i3 appointed a member of the Civil Service Commission, an appointment which, h6 says, is bound to be made unless Harrison ignores the strongest endorsement ever given an applicant for a position. OwiDg to the fnneral of the late John P. Usher, who was Secretary of the Interior from 1863 to 1865, that Department was closed yesterday. This is a senseless and useless custom, and is besides very costly to the Government. "Cheap John" Wanarnaker is being roundly abused by 300 applicants for positions as special agents of the the Post Office Department, because he has sent all the applications to the Civil Service Commipsiooers, and nostand a civil service examination. These positions are much sought after, and the impression bad got out among the Republicans that no examination would be required. John Sherman had a candidate for Comptroller of the Carrenoy, bat be got left and the prize went to exCongressman Lacy, of Michigan. Verily these be "parlous" times for Ohio Republicans. Another fat plum has been captured by a newspaper man. The fortunate individual is Robert P. Porter, editor of the New York Press, who has been appointed Superintendent of the Census. Harrison is cer tainly making himself solid with tbe Republican editors and is doubtless' laying the wires for a re-nomination. Applications have been made to the Comptroller of the Cnrreccy for oharters for several national banks in Oklahoma, and that official is much perplexed as to what ha should do. Th8 law requires applications to be on file one year before the charter is granted, but this being a new coontry the applicants think an exception should be made in their favor. The question has beeu referred to the Attorney General for an ?pinion. Several years ago the Pest Office Department issued an order prohibiting train employees or trains other than mail trains carrying letters, tfcfil&rty fla'tiT ou UCtTB pa pints, w jtoften prevented their receiving important correspondence and also prevented them from sending out packages of papers. lu reponse to general reqaests from publishers the order has been recinded. The Pest Office Department gnilotine is now working on fourth class postmasters at the rate of 150 a day. Extra clerks have been detailed from other branohes of the Depaitment to help those in the first Assistant's office so as to increase the number of dismissals aud appointments. In the Railway mail service it is Y\r>A TKia rnmtior nf ro. aiLUUOb ?0 V?U. i.uo movals in six weeks is over 500. Secretary Noble Says every precaution has been taken by the Government to prevent lawlessness in Oklahoma and that the attempt of alarmists to scare people away from from the new Territory is absurd. . It is said that Senator Farwell stole a march on his colleagoe, Senator Callom, in gettiog J. A. Lexton appointed postmaster at Chicago. If this be trne Mr. Cullom will be more disgruntled than ever. The ex-Congressmen seem to have the call this week. Mr. Hepbnrn, of Iowa, has been appointed Solicitor of the Treasory. It is reported that Mr. Harrieon has stated that no postmaster in the presidential class will be removed, without canse, until bis commission evpires. It is also said that he has -rirnirfnrl that all Cr mtzuQaiops shall i date from the date of confirmation. Both statements should be taken with a grain of allowance. The ,(niggerM still waits for official recognition from the Administration. Bat be is getting decidedly impatient. May he continue in the same condition. After keeping the United States light hoase tender, Holly, tied np to the wbarf here for three daye, while two light-ships, which leit their mooriugs in Cheaspeake bay daring the recent storm, are floating aronnci endangering vesselp, Mr. Harrison I went aboard Monday for a pleasure j sail down the Potomac. That's the Repnbiisan idea cf protecting onr commerce. Consumption Surely Cured.

Y., April 20.?Frank Hancock, fireman at Blue Hun, Pa., was found dead this morning, having bung himself in the bed room of the shanty he occupied. In the same i room lay the bodies of his four children, two with their throats oat, the other two stabbed in the heart, The eldest child was ten ysars of age; the youngest, aged four, was still alive when the horrible discovery was made. It cannot live. A batcher knife was used in killing j the children. It was then stack in ! the floor to serve as a prop to keep the door open.

First Great Britaia took alarm, aod passed a very rigid inspection of all lard products imported into tte United Kingdom. France followed snit. Next came CaDada, and quickly treding in the wake of Canada's authorities the government of onr Southern neighbor Mexico, took up the cry against American lard adulteration in the form of ao extremely stringent enactment. Finally, it is now announced that the German government will prohibit all imports of lard not absolutely y re.

If ' all eyes were normal, that is perfectly shaped, then it would be an easy matter to get glasses, a person by stating his or her age would receive the number ot glass corresponding to that age and be suited exactly. But unfortunately there are few eyes perfectly normal, and sometimes we find a person of fifty and a child of twelve years of age wear- H ing the same number of glasses, the reason being that the childs eyes were very poor I while the older person's were very goot^ Again we often find a different strength in the ?? right and left eye of some person. Again we find persons who complain of never being jB able to get a glass to suit them perfectly. This is owing to a peculiar malformation of their eyes which ordinary glasses will not remedy. When fitting cases ot thi- kind?by M a new process?we make a careful measure of the eye and grind a glass specially to suit. {H By this system we have made persons see well, who thought that nothing could be done for their sight. If your eyes give trouble, call on us and be fitted properly. * JH The Brazillian Axis Cut Pebble Spectacles and Eye Glasses are the FINEST and H BEST on the market.
