MIRABEAU B. LAMAR.
The Author of Tha Daughter of
Mendoza" A Personal
Rocolloctioa.
Washington Post.
The exiiisilely iicautifo! line with the
nl.ovo cafition that aiiear!d in tb last Sun
day edition of Tho Post, you may not know,
were conceived and executed and riut,li-hpl
yraru ago ly a man who timied his geniu
upon the lnstiry of his country Miralx-au H.
La:rir lirft a general in the army of tha lil
eiatin forces of Texas, and afterward j.rei,i
d -lit of t hat great state, the uncle of the present
f -L Kpioiii. and talented Unites! States wnator
fi.i:i Mirvsissijipi, I j. g U. iJimar. I met witu
tl.em "nt dm ing my travels in Texas in t he
year ls.77, under a comniismoii from the Hon.
A V. lirown, iiostmaster general.
After letiirning from a visit to the Lam
pasas springs in company with Mr. Hamil
ton, who was a native of Alabama, and who
since the civil war came to the United States
senate from Texas, I met General Miralieau
ll. r.iniar at tho hotel where I stopie.l in
Austin, with his fame still fresh in the minds
of men. Governor Pease, who was a native
of tho north, was also at the some hotel,
as was also Austin, who lod the first Ameri
c an colony into Texas. At the same time I
forintsl the acquaintance of Chief Justice
Ilemphin, afterward United States senator,
who was a native of South Carolina, and of
General Green, of Virginia extraction, who
was killed during the late civil war command
ing a Texas brigade in the ill-conducted but
tle fought by General Smith against General
Steele on the banks of the Cash in Arkausas,
uh.wi tho retreat of General Steele, after his
di .-isti-ous repulse and defeat by General
Sterling Price.
ten. Lamar had retired from iolitic., yet
his chivalric genius did not rest. Not long
U-foi e he had prepared and published a vol
ume of his poems, and among them I found
"The Daughter of Meudoza." The exceeding
lieauty of these lines in conception and per
fect execution, in their musical flow and grace
scarcely ever equaled and never surpassed,
riveted them upon my memory, ana since
theu. in my conversations, I have often and
over again instanced them as being among
the rarest gems of versification and true
poetry in .he English language. Uut years
before I met Gen. Lamar at Austin, while
negotiations were going forward in
Washington for the annexation 01 lexas 10
the Union, it had fallen to my province to in
vite an !: receive him as a guest of the
pro- i l--..t .f tho United States on the occa
uio:i of ov? of the state dinners in the presi
dential rvi..jion.
C :i. i imar was a native of Georgia, and
the K.::ttor himself is also a native 01 that
state. Tho characteristics of the family are
striking. A chivalric nature, indomitable
energy, a courage unflinching, vivid intel
lectuality, a genius 1 may say inspired Dy we
imagination, has marked more than one of
its inciiiliers. At an early age Mirabeau B.
Lamar, fired by the news of the struggle in
Texas to achieve independence, and burning
with indignation at the atrocities committed
by tho Mexican butchers near Gonzales after
the surrender of Travis, and at the Alamo
where David Crockett fell, threw himself
into the field of contest, and at the battle of
San Jacinto commanded the Texan cavalry.
That he did his work well on that gory day
may be inferred from t'ae fact that on prepar
ing for the fight, as Mr. Hamilton informed
me at Austin, he dressed himself in a blood-
red waistcoat. It evidently meant that he
intended no half-way work, and when the
sun went down on that memorable
day Santa Anna's army was anni
hilated as completely as was tnat
of Rome at Cannes before Hanni
bal; he himself a prisoner, and Texas stood
forth unfettered and disenthralled, an empire
in domain, and in the eyes of mankind un
conquerable. His gallantry on that day im
pressed his name not only upon the public
annals, but upon the hearts of his associates
in arms and all other lexans, so deeply that
he was ultimately called to the chair of the
chief magistracy by acclamation. In that
chair he crowned bis administration by caus
ing tho enactment of the most magnificently
generous donation for educational purposes,
through tho reservation and appropriation of
public lands, in and for each and every
county, and for a general state university,
ever vouchsafed to any school system in tho
tvorld. How it has been applied I do not
know, nor will I stop to inquire. In itself it
is an imperishable monument to the wisdom
of his head and the humanity of his heart.
The enchanting musical flow of his poem,
"The Daughter of llendoza," enshrines for
ever his memory in its melody.
John Tyleb.
Washington, D. C.
The lines referred to by CoL Tyler, which
we take pleasure in reproducing again, have
lately found their way into the press, credited
to Geo. W. Cable, the southern novelist. It
is not at all probable that this is with the
knowledge of Mr. Cable certainly not with
his connivance and ho, as well as the general
public will no doubt bo grateful to the writer
of the above communication for having thus
done justice to the illustrious dead and res
cued from spoliation a treasure of such rare
poetic merit. Ed. Post.
THE DAUGHTER OF MENDOZA.
O, lend to me, sweet nightingale,
Your music by the fountains;
And lend to me your cadences,
O, river of the mountains.
That I may sing my gay brunette,
A diamond s;iark iu coral set,
Gem for a prince's coronet
The daughter of Meudoza.
How brilliant is the morning star,
The evening star how tender,
The light of both is in her eyes
Their softness and their splendor.
But for the lash that sliades their sight,
They were too dazzling for the light ;
And when she shuts them all is night
The daughter of Mendoza.
O, ever bright and beauteous one,
Bewildenqg and beguiling,
The lute is in thy silvery tone,
The rainbow in thy smiling.
And thine is, too, o'er hill and dell,
The bounding of the young gazelle,
Thy) arrow's flight and ocean's swell
Sweet daughter of Mendoza.
What tho', perchance, we meet no more,
w hat though too soon we sever.
Thy form will float like emerald light,
Before my vision ever.
For who can see and then forget
The glories of my gay brunette ?
Thou art too bright a star to set,
Fair daughter of Mendoza I

DAKOTA NOT A PARADISE.
A Representation from a Olaappolnt.
ed Emigrant.
Chicago Journal.
Notwithstanding that the emigration to
Dakota this spring has been so great that
Homo of the lines of railroad leading thither
havt. len absolutely blockaded, Tho Chicago
Journal has lifted its voice against the ex
pediency of tho exodus, especially from the
hhiteof'lllinois. The story of Dakota has
been in some re.'pcc-t altogether t highly
colored; the emigration bu.-iue luis been
overworked; thu excitement in alout
over, and now comes the rtlajise.
Dakota is no doubt a good place for
wheat growing l urjwises, and is just the
l.lace for tho ioor foreigner from Sweden
.. 1.1 .......
or XNorwuy. or any oumr .-m !--try
in Europe, to ettlo in, but the climate is
Mo severe for a man who lias oeen lenicu
anywhere south of the fortieth parallel of
latitude. As a matter of courtesy on the part
of the geographers, Dakota is placed in the
"temperate zone," but when wens twenty
foet deep are frozen over, and winter sets in
about the 1st of October, with a coldness that
defies the registry of Fahrenheit, and con
tinues until May, it might as welt Ixj eaiieu a
cold section of country.
From a letter written to Tho Aledo (111.)
Record by Mr. Thomas S. Shai-iie, who lias
been a resident of Hutchison county, Dakota,
for the past five yean, some facts may be
gathered that will enlighten those who are
contemplating settling in that territory. We
quote some extracts from Mr. Sharpe's letter:
"Persons east will do well to accept wiiu
caution the reports about Dakota. They ap
pear mostly written by persons who have
never raised a crop or seen one raised. North
Dakota is a wheat region. South Dakota is
not and between is debatable land. I have
lived here five years on a homestead. There
is plenty of good water, but more baa, and
some have dug several wells before they hit
palatable water. A man can raise timber
very easily; orcharding has, been tried ana de
termined. "I have not seen a crop of wheat of twenty
five bushels per acre ; have asked old settlers
and they have not. Last year the department
of agriculture made the returns for this
county at fourteen bushels. This was rather
light, but the crop was the best in five years.
Forty bushels of oats and thirty-five of corn
are good crops, and it takes five acres of
prairie to pasture a steer through summer.
Flax is our main market crop, and is fast
ruining lands devoted to it. Many who un
dertook sheep farming have given it up.
Cattle business is the most profitable business
at present, and the men who run threshing
machines grow poor at it.
"There is a heavy emigration to the ter
ritory, and much of it of a land-grabbing
nature. Six months' fictitious residence,
then prove up, mortgage or sell for $300 to
$500, then leave Dakota or repeat the game,
making a net gain of perhaps $200 for the six
months, is the programme by thousands. And
many an honest pioneer takes his claim, toils
to make a home, and in a year or two finds
himself almost isolated from neighbors and
debarred from the blessings of society.
"If grashoppers or a failure of the crop oc
curs this year, there will be a bigger stam
pede than followed Moses of old.
"Any one intending to come to Dakota
territory ought to be prepared to accept the
regular hardships of pioneer life. Don't
build your hopes on enormous crops. Every
dollar you earn here is well earned. The
busiest man in south Dakota is Shylock. His
grip is on some quarter or more of nearly
every section, and five years will see thou
sands of farms in his hands."
It seems from the above that Dakota is not
the land of promise, flowing with milk and
honey, which many people have been led to
believe, and Mr. Sharpe's representations are
abundantly corroborated by others. The
man who leaves Illinois for Dakota is going
away from home, "and don't you forget it."

"Where is MulcaheyT'
As Lord Wyvern spoke these words he
stepped lightly from the broad veranda that
encircled Briertou villa and stood beside his
daughter, Beryl McCloskoy, whose lithe',
graceful form, sharply outlined against the
rustic woodshed that dotted the landscape to
the westward, was shown to advantage by
the dress she wore a simple garment of soft,
white peignoir, caught up at the shoulders
with little knots of blue ribbon, through
which the warm flesh-tints and beautiful
curves of a snowy arm were to be seen. The
kissing winds of a perfect June evening
bright, joyous June, that wields so gracefully
her sceptre as rose-crowned queen of months
were sighing through the larches, and ertood
like sentinels around the close-trimmed lawnt
and seemed to keep over the bright patches of
flowers, whose vivid colors wore in pretty
contrast to the velvety green of the grass
around them a kindly but ceaseless vigil.
"I am not happy, papa," said the girl, turn
ing; as the words with which this chapter
opens were spoken, and laying a shapely,
dimpled hand in the broad, pie-plate palm of
her father. "I know full well that it is not
right for me to feel thus, because I have
everthing that should make my life a bright
and joyous one. With kind, loving parents,
a beautiful home, health, doughnuts and
every luxury that taste can suggest or money
purchase, I should indeed be ungrateful
nay, even wicked were I to complain; but
in spite of all this, in spite of the fact that I
try, O so hard, to be bright and gay, there
seems to be always before me some great sor
row" and bursting into a storm of sobs,
Beryl laid her hand on her father's shoulder
and wept so long and so bitterly that Lord
Wyvern began to wish that he was a sponge.
"It is your liver, my darling," he said ten
derly when the violence of the girl's grief had
in some measure abated, and only the convul
sive shudder that passed like the dying throb
of a broken pump through the lissome form
that he held in his arms told of the mighty
sorrow that was racking Beryl's heart. "You
are oil your feed."
"No, papa," replied the girl, looking up to
him with her beautiful Drown eyes from
which gleamed the soft light of a holy, ten
der affection. "I have thought of that, but
it cannot be."
Lord Wyvern turned away his head to con
ceal from his daughter the tears that suffused
his eyes as she spoke, and then, turning to
Beryl and kissing the drooping lips that were
quivering with grief, he spoke to her in low,
kindly, I-have-three-aces tones that went to
her heart:
"You must not try to deceive me, my dar
ling," he said. "Tell me truly, do you not
love Reginald Mulcaheyr"
The girl gave a quick, convulsive move
ment, like the fawn of the forest when the
crack of tho hunter's rifle breaks upon the
midday silence, or a man who sinks languidly
to rest on a tack, and then, realizing that her
secret was known, she looked at her father in
a shy, hesitating, boy-found-by-the-old-man-playing
- billiards - when - he-ought-to - have-been-sa
wing-wood fashion, and let the rosy
blushes of maiden modesty which chased
each other across ner cheeks make answer.
"But I was so afraid, papa," she said, see
ing the kindly smile that flitted across Lord
Wyvern's face, "that you would oppose our
love because Regy is not rich, and it would
break my heart to lose him now."
"Wealth is not everything, my child," he
said, "and I will help Reginald to acquire it,
so that by this time iiext week he may be in
position to place you forever beyond the
reach of want."
"Will youf" exclaimed Beryl, her face
lighting up with a glad, joyous, I-have-found-tne-hair-brush
smile.
"Yes, my darling, " answers the father.
"But how!"
"I will," replies Lord Wyvern, "buy him a
pool ticket on the first club that plays against
the White Stockings."

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LIVES.

Texan Si f tings.
Tho liver affects the intellectual parts of
man. It is tho liver, and not the heart, that
is really the neat of sentiment, of love, of
chivalry and of all good and evil emotions.
Tho condition of a timn s liver colors ami ar
focts all his acts. A man may have ever ho
warm a heart, and it may l0 in tho right
place, but let his liver lie out of or 'or an.l he
will kick the ili't harmless yellow dog he

We often hear of a man harboring malice
in his heart. This statement is not correct.
All malice resides in tho livor. All murder
ers have damaged nnd disabled livers. This
is a fact vthii-h will soon bo heralded abroad
by tho medic al profession, and then the clay
will come when, instead of the monotonous
insanity plea, the lawyer for tho defense will
claim that the deed was done w bile the pris
oner was laboring under a fit of temporary
derangement of the liver. If Solomon had
lived in these unhealthy times, instead of
8eaki))g as he did about the heart, ho would
have said: "The liver of a man is deceitful
above all things and desperately overcharged
with bile."
When the preacher draws gloomy pictures
of woe, it is his liver that is out of order.
When the philosopher predicts calamities and
disasters that are about to fall on the people,
it is the hinges of his liver that need oiling.
When our old friend "Taxpayer" writes a let
ter to his local paper, in which he blasphemes
monopolies, and demonstrates that the coun
try is misgoverned and is going to the "dem
nition bow-wows," old Taxpayer means well,
but the lappels of his liver are turned tho
wrong way. When a politician gets on his
feet in the house of representatives and de
nounces the policy of tha opposition as
"criminal and hurtful to the best interest
of the people," his liver is in need of re
pairs. When a man gets cranky and rails
at fate, or refuses to pay his dog tax, we
should not judge him harsldy, his liver may
have got jammed in among some of his other
organs. Take the case of the governor of
the great state of Texas, on the historic oc
casion when he positively and firmly declined
to take a copy of Texas Sif tings out of tho
Seguin post office, he was doubtless suffering
from a displaced liver. He has a notoriously
bilious disposition. Such men should not be
held to a strict account for their acts any
more than lunatics should.
When science shall have so far advanced
that the liver of a man will be under control,
then, and not till then, will the millenium
dawn, the sword be turned into a reaping
hook, O'Donovan Rossa lie down with tho
heir apparent to the English throne, and
peace reign o'er all the earth.
In Pantomime.
Detroit Free Press.
One of the traces of the street-car horse
broke, delaying the car for seven or eight
minutes. Afar off to the right one could see
into the back-yard of a house, and directly
the passengers on the car were gazing that
way at a pantomime. A man on the car took
it upon himself to explain what was occur
ring. He began:
"A woman and her husband appear at the
back door. She Is excited he the picture of
calmness."
It was so. The woman waved her arms
and gesticulated the man seemed to whistle.
"Now she leads him to a bedstead which
she has been scalding," continued the passen
ger. "She is probably saying that she will
smash it with an ax, and he is probably re
plying that shell have to sleep on the floor if
she does. If I had time I'd advise her to use
kerosene oil in the crevices, but I ha vent."
The woman then led the man to a carpet
hanging on the fence and waved her arms
some more.
"She's telling him to pull off his coat and
beat it," explained the passenger, "and he
replies that he'll see the old thing burned first.
No true wife will ever ask her husband to
have anything to do with a carpet.
The two suddenly disappeared into the
house, and the interpreter remarked:
"Hold on this isn't the end! She's taken
him in to show where she wants the kitchen
stove moved to. There they come, and she is
madder'n ever."
The actors reappeared and stood in the at
titude of enemies about to begin a combat.
"She's saying that she rues the day she
ever sat eyes on him!" whispered the pas
senger. "She's calling bun a loafer and a ojunkard,
and he's telling her to set the chimney afire
and let the firemen do her house-cleaning.
Whoa! there she's flying off the handle!
There! she's hit him with a bedstead slat! He
staggers, but recovers and tries to grasp her!
She whacks him again, and now he turns to
flee. He reaches the fence, but she reaches
him!"
Some of the passengers ran out upon the
platform to get a clear view, but the inter
preter climed to the foot and continued :
"She has him down on an ash-hcap! She's
telling him that he has reached the end of his
rope and has got to cut bait or fish. He strug
gles she chokes him and jams his head into
the ashes! Now he is quiet. Now she lets
him up. Now he is walking towards the car
pet with a stick. Ladies and gentlemen, the
great moral exhibition is over and virtue and
perseverance have won another glorious tri
umph!" An Improbable Candidate.
Texas Siftings.
The prominent papers all over the country
are discussing the chances of the various
prospective presidential candidates. Grant,
Conkling, Hancock, Tilden, Cleveland, Bay
ard and several others have been mentioned.
Any of these candidates may be selected, but
it creates considerable surprise when such an
utterly improbable person as Dana, of The
New York Sun, should be spoken of. It re
minds one of what happened in a little town
in Vermont. The rustic youth of the country
had congregated for a dance, and dance they
did with an unction unknown to modern
belles and beaux.
One interesting young man having imbibed
too freely early in the evening became very
much fatigued, and wisely concluded to re
tire for a short time. A door ajar near the
dining room, revealed invitingly a glimpse of
a comfortable bed, of which the exhausted
party took possession, with the prospect of a
comfortable snooze.
It happened, however, that this was the
"lalies' withdrawing room," and no sooner
had the exhausted party closed his eyes, than
a party of blooming damsels came in, and be
gan adjusting their disordered ringlets, the
dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing
the tenant of the bed,
The girls had tongues (like most of the sex),
which ran on in this wise:
"What a nice time we are having? Have
you heard anybody say anything about me,
JaneT
"La! Yes, Sally. Jim Brown said he never
saw j'ou look so handsome as you do to-night.
Have you heard anybody say anything about
meP
"About you? Why, sartainly. I heard J 00
Flint tell Sam Jones that you was the pret
tiest dressed girl in the room."
Just at this crisis our exhausted friend
raised himself up on his elbow, and in a deep
voice, mquired:
"'Ave yer heard anybody say anything
Tjout me, gurlst'
