novelist, Anthony Trollopo, uJ Louis llUnc

was dovotcd to field sports. Ho was at that time
living the life of an active country gentleman.
He Itej.t his stablo of hunters, and loved to fill
his Louse with guests in English country fash
ion. Though twice invited, I was, to my ro
gret, on each occasion unable to put aside
the primping work which tied ,tne to tho
deak. Like a true Londoner, he cared little for
country visiting. I anked him once if Le had
pleasant neighbors. '1 hardly know,' Le re
plied. 'We aro independent of the people of
the place. Wo have our eld friends down in

me that hunting or no hunting, visitors or no

his codes. 'And so,' he said, '1 am in my chair

work is dona I- hereupon demurred that he
must pay tho penalty of going to bed very
early; to which ho replied that whether at
home or in society he invariably said good
night at V o'clock. His habits would feem to
have changed during these last years, and I
have read with surprise in some of the soci
ety notices that he had returned to London

but be was the ami dn maison of my nearest
and dearest friends. I can not realize the little
man with snow-white hair described the other
day by the Paris correspondent of The Times.
His hair, when I knew him. was raven black.
and his clean-shaved chin and jaw were al
most blua Add to these a rich brown south
ern complexion, a ruddy cheek, lustrons black

splendid head and brow, and you have in
words the portrait of a remarkably hand
some man. Finally, you must set that
spirited bead upon a tiny but admira
bly proportioned hgnre just five feet Ligh, and
fancy you are looking at a colossus through
tho wrong end of a telescope. Such, when I
knew hiin, was Louis Blanc. As regarded
dress, he had a stvle of Lis own. A black silk
cravat, a black dress coat with a velvet collar
and brass buttons. Mtrhtly buttoned: black
trowsers, white kid gloves, and a folding hat
under bis arm, was ids invariable costume at
eveumg parties. Tho brass buttons, being un
usual, led to occasional complications.

in the pretty house in Bolton Iiow,
one of the euosts. mistaking the little rrench-
miin for the 'boy in buttons,' inadvertently
banded him an empty ice-glass. The insulted
tiatriot drew himself to the uttermost of bis

episode, and did not envy the perpetrator of
the mistake. 1 nave omttieu to menxion xna

"When this Cruel War la Over."
New York Sun.
In your edition of to-day there appears an
article signed by "Jerome Hopkins," in wbich,
referring to the authorship of certain popular
eonga, he asserts or infers thit the song,
When this Cruel War ia Over," and others,
were written by Henry Tucker, but are ac
credited to a "C. C Sawyer, of Brooklyn."
As ance before a similar assertion was made
in relation to the same song, I most respect
fully beg to pronounce it a base fabrication,
and if this Honkins is the same man who,
about twenty years ago, was somowhat popu
lar in music circles in Brooklyn, he must I
fully awaro of the following facts: -
The sonir "Weepinx Sad and Lonely, or
"When this Cruel War is Over," was written
and composed by Charlos Carroll Sawyer, the
C C. Sawver" referred to bv Mr. Hopkins.-
Henrv Tu:!-' liuted the words to an old
song which ...imod as his own composition,
written in 1 . , nd entitled "Darling Meet Me
in the Groeuwood." After having a few en
graved copies printed,' Mr. Sawyer, not liking
the melodv. withdrew it and entirely recon
structed it: and vet. not wishing to detract
snv from Mr. Tucker's credit, left the title
page as originally written, viz. : "Words by
Charles Carroll Sawyer, Musto by Henry
Tucker.
This is the onlv song ever published in
Brooklyn in which Mr. Tucker's name ever ap
peared, or to which he made any claim what
ever. Chari.es Cabroix Sawykb.

Courted Her Like SOOO.
There was a man named Watkins in a Con
federate regiment during the war, who waa
well on toward middle life; but whon his wife
came to camp one day she seemed to make him
young by comparison. There seemed to be a
century's difference between them; and the
man, who was as ugly aa a Georgia cracker
usually is, waa handsome beside bis wife.
"How did you ever come to marry such an old
witch as that?" asked one of hi superior of
ficers, taking him aside. "Well, you see," said
tho man, rather sheepishly, "her mother kept
a little grocery store down on the corner of the
street - where- I - lived, . and. 1 used to go in
there to get what I wanted to eat One day I
found the old woman s ngly daughter all alono
in the store. Just as I came in I - heard the
clink of silver through the loose rafters over
head, and the old woman counting: 'One.
two, three, and so on. I sat down and made
love to the girl and the old woman np-etans
kept tn counting. By-and-by she was away
up in the hundreds four hundred, four huu-
dred and fifty, five hnndred, I courted that
girl harder and harder as the old woman trot
higher. - Finally she stopped at nine hundred.
Oreat Scott!' I said to mvself. 'Nine hnndred
dollars!' 'Beloved Snkey, will you bo mine'
She said she would, and we were married that
same day. "well, is that all?" "No; there
were only thirty of those silver dollars; the
old woman counted them over thirty times. "

Hell and a favored Land.
Cbrrvapoudouco Now York Tribune.
From tho moment of crossing Red river,
passing from tho Indian territory Into the state
of Texas, evidences of wealth and jiroprity
greet tho eye. Deuison, containing about
I'.OOO inhabitants, U a. distributing point for
northwestern Texas, and doe a good jobbing
trade. The country about it is rapidly filling
up with a good class of farmers from the older
states, who turn their attention principally to
growing cereals and raising . tine stock.
The acreage of winter wheat, oats
and barley baa been increased one
third since last year, and of cotton land about
one -fourth. Going south from Denison, nu
merous small but proaporona towns are passed,
The country is well settled, and the farms pre
sent a thrifty, well-to-do air. Winter wheat,
oats, and barley look finely. Teach trees are
in blottfoni, and nearly every farm house is
surrou:ul"d by an orchard. Ninety-six miles
south of DenirtOii is Port Worth, a city of 1.,T50
inhabitants and an important railroad junction.
Six yers ago I'ort Worth contained 1,H(X) iu
habit;n'H,unl was an outpost of civilization.
Now it has railroads, street-earn, gus works,
water-works, cotton ' compress, flouring,
pork packing, and planing mills,
a foundry, and other buHiuuMs en
terprises, which mark it as one of tho fore-mo.-1
towns in Texan. 1 can host convey an
idea of tho hi.iuctis of tb place by statiug' that
the diOerunt r.ilroads have tw ei.ty-eevcn miles
of side tracks in their yards here, and the
tracks are brv oil with cars containing mer
chandise of every discriptiou. Livestock men
from all iiuartors hold their conventions here
and transact their business, and monev chantr
ing bauds for stock alone auiounts to iln.ooo,
000 annually. Thoro is a groat deal of cotton
in tho tributary regions, and it is being re
ceived anu Hhrppod daily.
One is struck by the enormous increase in
farms and population. Towns have leen built
up and are becoming populous, thriving places,
where twelve months ago there was not a house
in sight from Fort Worth to Wichita Falls.
Homo, Decatur, Alvord, Bowie, Henrietta and
Witchita Falls have sprung into existence; only
two of these, Decatur and Henrietta, had been
located before the Fort Worth A Denver City
railroad was built Decatur bids fair to be a
place of some note, as coal has been discovered
a short distance from there and the Wise County
Coal company are developing a thirty-inch
vein. This coal will supply a lone felt want
of Northwestern Texas. The hind throughout
this section of country is very fertllo, fairly
wooded, and well watered. What are known
as the upper cross-timbers, belts of woodland.
traverse this part or Texas rrom nortneast to
southwest The soil is a chocolate colored
loam, and the finest staple of cotton Texas
produces is grown throughout this section.
Wild land is worth from fL.50 to $10 per acre,
prices varying with the quality and situation.
A very fine body of land can be got from four
or five miles from a railroad station for Q"i
per acre, and there is a good market for all
kinds of farm produce.
Thore are four towns tributary to I'-owie,
four to Henrietta, and Wichita Falls commands
tho entire trado of the Pan Handle of Texas
and the adjacent portion of the Indian terri
tory. The last named place has only been in
existence thres or four months and it already
contains about 2,500 inhabitants, two wholesalo
grocery stores, two banks and a weekly paper.
The Herald. In Fort Worth two daily and
weekly papers aro publ slied, one weekly at
Aurora, two at Decatur, ono at Bowie, one' at
Alvord. one at Henrietta, and one at the Falls.
There is great unauimity in politics, as tlies i
papers are all Conservative .Democratic, but
strangers are welcomed from all sections of
tho country without regard to politics or re
ligion. These towns all possess good educa
tional advantages, tho school fund of Texas
being large and every county 111 lexas having
been allotted a portion of the public domain
set apart and known as sc-nooi lunds.
The entire country is being rapidly fenced
up for either stock or agricultural purposes;
so much so. in fact, that stock men are finding
it impossible to drive cattle, as has been the
custom in years psst wnen uiey were changing
ranges, and are now making contracts with
railroads to transport their young eattle from
the breeding grounds of the southwest to the
grazing grounds of southern C!orado, north
ern Texas and New Mexico, a distance of from
500 to 700 miles. The cattle are hold on these
grazing lands until they attain their growth
and aro ready for market, the theory held by
stock men being that cattle breed better and
are safer and more prolific, in the warm
climate of southern Texas, and fatten quicker
and grow largrr in the northern grazing lands.
It is estimated that botweon 'JO0.000 and 300.-
000 head of these young cattle will be moved
this year.
Tho number and wealth of the stock
men in Toxes aro something wonderful, Some
nve or six years ago "Old uan Waggoner
made a sale of bis ranch and brand of cattle
'for 825,000 to a man who afterward backed out
of his bargain. "Old Dan" was abont to sue to
compel him to keep it, but was dissuaded
therefrom, and to-day he bas good reason to
congratulate himself that the sale was not ef
ected, as be is now offered for the same ranch
and brand Sl.5O0.0iK).
The counties of Grayson. Tarrant. Denton.
Wise, Montague, Cooke and those counties
immediately adjoining are known as the Dela
ware of Texas. Apples, peaches, pears and
plums are grown .successfully and remunera
tively. There are numbers of small tracts of
land devotod entirely to fruit, which pay their
owners handsomely ; one fruit-grower in the
neighborhood of Uenison clearing ?1i,iJ
proht on eighty acres or land planted princi
pally in apples and peaches. The climate and
soil seem to be finely adapted to fruit and
grape culture.

I shall never forget my first trip away from

never been as far aa Washington before, and
of course I wanted to see what was there to be
seen. I went into the senate gallery and took
my seat . I could easily pick out the promin
