4 , - Tliere occurs tliis week the anniversary of
j ? j- one of the most IntorcntIti uudeyeutTill bat
' s * • ties hi American history , though one but little
| , J remembered. It is un anniversary that recalls
& ' ' the strtiirKlu at races of which the southern
'p x < Dortlon of this continent wits the scene from
lr,7 the days of Christopher Columbus down to
jjJjT' our own time. Spanish settlements were
jjpV made In Texas as early as 10'J2 ; these , how-
lJ. " " ever , were merely lrailine ; establishments.
7 % * Texas was formerly claimed by both Spain and
WfP J the United Slates , and became the subject of
' lone ; negotiation between the two govern
ments , which resulted in u relinquishment on
the part of the United States to the territory
in question. President Jackson made an at-
i , " tempt to purchase Texas from Mexico , but
t , failed. The proposition of Jackson to pur-
lite' . . chase wus opposed by many of our citizens ,
$ ' • , ' . whp viewed a further extension pf territory as
if , dangerous to the Integrity of the Union.
mjh ( Texas had rather been a curse than a blessing
; ( py * to any of its numerous cla'mauts being lirst
\jsr ( ' t H wrested from the natives by Spain and re-
&T' ' gained by the Mexicans.
i < IV In the year 1821 Stephen F. Austin , a native
hr ' of tiic state of Connecticut , appeared on the
j u. . Brazos river in Texas to fulfill and carry out a
jT.L contract of his father , who had obtained a
it , 1 r , grant for a large body of land which he was
* * " ' to colonize. Mr. Austin planted his first colo
ny ou the Brazos river , and belmr a mau of un
common fidelity and enterprise , his inter
course with the Mexican government being
marked with a rigid compliance with his cn-
tragement , for a number of years he had the
unlimited confidence of the olllcersof the gov
ernment , from whom he could receive any
favors , and In return received the unlimited
confidence of his colonists , and Texas was fast
becoming a valuable domain. The colonists ,
with the intelligence , energy , and thrift bo
I iharactcrlstic of their race , were making rapid
advances in wealth and comfort , but a crisis
arrived , aud war with all its fury and horrors
commenced.
San Antonio and Goliad were in the posses
sion tjf the Texas troops , and a large Mexican
force had been ordered to operate airaiust
thsm. On the 21st of February , 1S30 , the Mexi-
za.li Gens. Sessma , Filasola , and Cos were or-
Jcrcd to lead one division of the Mexican army
an San Antonio , Gens , fjnea and Garory a
Second division , commanded by Santa Ana in
person , was to move as circumstances might
require.
The first division of the Mexican army ap
peared before San Antonio on the 22nd of
? cbruary , and of the progress of the sieirc of
; he Alamo Col. Travers' last letter was on the
Jrd of March. He says : "I am besieged by
.housands of Mexicans , and with 140 icon I
save defended the Alamo for ten days against
t force of 3,000 , and unless I tret relief I will
Derish in its defense. " Col. Travers and his
rallant band did perish , as they fell to a man.
Their lives , lioivever , were dearly sold , and the
yletorv gained over them was little better than
i defeat.
Santa Ana. flushed with his ill-cotten stic-
? ess , believed that Texas was in his grasp ,
tnd with his remaining force advanced upon
Huston's small force on the Colorado river ,
tlusten fell back to the Brazos river , and from
hat stream retreated to the San Jacinto river.
He was unwillimr to hazard a battle so long
is hopes were entertained of gaining tiny ad-
7autage by retreating. He intended Tetreat-
ng to "Nacodoches , where he knew of Tein-
! orcements , and it was not until after loud
complaints from every quarter he decided to
stake his'reputation ami the fortunes of Texas
• ) n one decisive effort.
L Tie'was commanding a most determined
I 'et of men.who \ earned to retaliate for the
* % y , shameful butchery of their friend's at the
i ilamo and Goliad. An hour before sunset on
\ : he 2st ! of April , IS i , Huston with his 783
lien all told , attacked Santa Ana with his
1,500men , advancing with the war cry "Ke-
licmtier ibe Alamo. ' ' The Texans advanced ,
• eceivinir the Mexicans' tire , to within point-
| Dlank shot before they fired a gun. In less
l : han two hours a vanquished foe lay bleeding
[ jn the battle-plain. A few uukille.I men
. were victors over nearly double their number
3f well-skilled soldiers , who were surfeited
, vith treasure and human blood , and their
' % " oroud and hauirhty chief a prisoner , begging
• ' " or quarter ami mercy , both of which were
rk. 'foreign to his own heart and his own mode of
m i
( * - ' * * - . . , ' arfaie. Santa Ana , the captured , was a
r | ' leartless demon. The world in all its rounrt

\ % l The victory at San Jacinto is rrulv one uf
\ & \ " die most splendid of modern or ancient times ,
isf' * ' , indwell deserves to ba ranked among the
\i \ * * * lecisive battles of the world. Its results arc

He was bom in 1815 and was one of the smal
lest babies known , weighing only nine ounces.
He now weighs but sevent . v-slx | > ounds , and
is only forty-live Inches iu height. One of the
the largestinen of modern times was Samuel
Murfitt , who died In England a few weeks ago.
He was 0 feet 1 inch high , and weighed 50(1 (
pouuds. Th rt of his waist was nearly 10
feet , and It U.oti a tape-line 20 inches long to
encompass the calf of his legs. No hearse
could be found large enough to carry his bodv ,
and it took twenty men to lift the coilln
through the window to an open wagon. He
was a native of Wimblingtou , Cambridgeshire ,
and was fifty-five years old.
John Tipton , a sexagenarian resident of
Taylor County , III. , has just begun the stud-
dy of Greek. Hislife has been one of inces
sant toil on a farm , with scant opportunities
for study , but every year he put aside a small
sum of his earnings , and think * he has now-
enough to keep him in comfort the rest of his
days. He never went to school iu Ids boy
hood , and did not learn to read and write un
til well ou in life.

three wars iu Ishani White , who says he was
born iu Southern Georgia iu li < 0. He was
one of those who fought behind the cotton
bales under Gen. Jackson at New Oilcans ,
and thinks it was a bullet from his musket
that killed Gen. Packenham. the commander
of the British forces on that occasion. He
served against the Indians iu Florida iu
183(5 , and was a volunteer under Gen. Win-
field Scott in Mexico. His love for "Old
Hickory" amounts almost to reverence , and
he says that he votes for him at every Presi

' Murray's Tribute to Beech er.
Lincoln emancipated men's bodies , Beecher
emancipated tlieir minds. The one 'delivered
them from injustice ; tlie other from super
stition. The ona was buried amid the tears
of his countrymen ; the other with the ad
miring tributes of mankind. Both were the
gift of God. T he one that America might be
free. The other that Christendom might be
enlighten cd. I mourne.l over Lincoln's grave
as over t he savior of libertv dead. I mourn
over ttie goi ng of Beecher as at the depart-
urcof a seer of God.
To Beecher were given eyes that were not
born of the flesh nor limited as to { their pow
er by the capacity of the senses ; eyes that
saw through and within the circumference even
to the center of things ; that saw the long
parallels of truth without contraction aud so
ever beheld unfolding before them the wide
horizous of God and not a mere point of hu
man determining. He looke 1 and saw. lie
gazed and beheld , and what had been hidden
to others to him was revealed. For he saw-
as none ever saw , save the seers of God , the
hidden aud the sweet things of life overlast-
ing.And
And to this power of vision was added a
voice. A voice that said to the eyes lI will
tell what you see whether men bear or for
bear. " Aud it did. And for years it sane
and thundered , and nun hearing trembled
or wept , laughed or cheered the voice which
none might resist , for the power of judge
ment , of honor aud tenderest loving was
in it
I say not farewell. For thou art. not ? rone ,
only vanished. Ami our eyes shall see thee
again and our ears shall hear the songof tin-
lips , even wiser than ever , and our hearts shall
hear the beating of thine aud glow as of old ;
for thou art a teacher and prophei ot God
foiever and ever ; and we are all nieu and thv
pupils.
So 1 say not farewell , as do maiiv , but rath
er , ' 'Good speed and far going ! " Thou art liv
ing a new flight , and with wings that tire not.
Tliou art speaking and looking and learning.
Thou art seeing strange sights and wide views ,
and ever deep depths thou art. poising and be
yond these are heights thou shait reach
them ! And with tliee fly manv who are wise

Good speed ! Good speed ! Say we then.
Thou art gone but we follow. For by and by ,
toiling onward awhile and then mounting up
ward , we will come we with manv and then
thou shalt tell us of all thou liast seen and
ieach us again of meicy aud truth aud the
"Way of Life Everlasting.
Good speed ! Gooil speed ! Great soul ! Go

The Paris Cocotte Dyitiff Out.
In a countnlike France , where fathers and
mothers are too apt to hoard up.for their chil
dren , the brilliant coeotte was useful ; she
pulverized fortunes and scattered them broad
cast. The rich families were kept by her from
becoming too rich , aud trade csoved faster be
cause of her prodigality. Indeed , she was tlie
motive power which kept workshops going in
which sumtuary articles ot a iuxurious kind
were made. The Ungcret aud ihe bla ichis at-
scs de Jin flourished during herceign. I recol
lect a suit against Blanche d'Antigny ( the
original of Nana , and for a time the brightest
star of the Khedive Ismail's .theatre ) which
bears out what I now say. It was about < a
la undry bill which Blanche contended ought
to be cut down. One of the items was , 1 re
member , for the doing up an uiidcr-garincitt
which Lady Harberton , perhaps , would not
object to name , or to see worn jis an outer
garment. This vesture was the finest cam
bric and Valenciennes laee. The getting-up
of it , with a few darns in the Jace , came to
133 f. ! The judge declared pocr man ! hs
incompetence to tieciue between the claim of
the plaintiff aud the contention of .the defend
ant , although the counsel of the latter offered
to produce the gaiment in question ; so an
expertise was ordered , and the expert reported
that the laundress was really moaerate in her
charge. Fancy boot and shoemakers also
mourn for the disappearance of the-iirilliant
Lais who brought the high-heeled boot with
twenty or thirty buttons into fashion. She
never meant to walk in it , but only wanted to
display , sitting in a victoria , her foot encased
in this piquant and very troublesome kind of
ehaussure. Paris Letter to London. 1'ruth.
The Queen as it GirL
Fifty years ago we had the Queen , .a dain6y
little maiden , only 4 feet 10 iuches Iu. height ,
with a delicate figure , a flower-like face , s
slender arm and an exquisitely poised head.
The face was a little pensive , but nevertheless
mirthful , the corner * of the mouth turning up
as decidedly as they now turn dowu ; the
tendency of the upper lip was to curl , allowing
a mere suggestion of white teeth To appear.
A simple gown of soft white India muslin ,
bound round the small waist with satin rib
bon and embroidered with field daisies , string ) !
of pearls wound round the white throat and
tapering arms left modestly bare , complete the
picture of the youthful niece of George IV.
And now the enemv of womankind has stolen
a triumphant march upon Victoria. But ont
thing neither time nor flesh has deprived th
Queen of , and that is the really regal bearing ,
the erect figure , uplifted head and firm tread
which in her triumphal entry into Westminstei
Abbev fifty years ago led the beholders to de
clare that she was a tall woman. Troy Tiw.
