McSweeney has resigned his position on the Goverfltor's staff. Very complimentary letter-? passed between him and the Governor, and there are no ill feelings as a result t f the election. Col. Jim.

Burning ' u wreckage lies in every direction in the Ini . Hectorspruit district. Any good hei police force of twenty thousand tr.en wli can effect the complete pacification |m of the country. It will be impossible for the Boors in the future to mass a force exceeding 1,7:00." Texas has just been visited with ....' another calamity.

Some of the rivers i stei are higher than ever hefnro > ? ~ j (f ip and the crops on the low lands have I . . . , .... net been utterly ruined.

Alter his pain and sickness And the tears are wiped awav; He's like the iloiver? ? _ a gatllVltM, His body will soon decay. Hat now his soul's in heaven, There is his smiling t'sce; And lie's daily watching For us to ihl our place. I often think of his dimpled cheeks, Ills golden and curly iiaii; And wonder if there ever was Another one so fair. There is his little toys And there his empty chair; Oh, brothers, handle them tendeily, As did little Philip while here. The little cradle is omp'y no.v, The little clothes ate laid away; Can that vacant place he tilled, And Philip not be there? When everj where seems daik a.id dreaiy, And h unt! looks natural enouuh; (Jo to the grave where little Philip sleeps, It will help to comfort us. Ued makes the beautiful and the best, Tie* truest is but God given; lie placed his jewels on his breast, That lie may rest in heaven. ~ Obituary.
