KltlTOIt A llVhllTIShU :
We have had several nice season-
aide rains, and the soil is inline cou-
diliou.
To take a philosophic view of the
seasons this spring, we can see that j
Providence is ruling, and for|a great |
and good purpose. Iu looking hacit, !
we must not consider self, bul take j
a wide-spread view, religious and
political, of circumstances, as also,
the private schemes thai private com-
bines are planing to overthrow Liber-
ty. If we would only lay aside our
isms and superstitions, we then might
see more clearly. Hut, to lay aside
our old notion, that we have been
hearing all our lives, is almost asking
too much. I know that 1 aiu con-
sidered ajcrank. Well, what of it?
Do not cranks often find out some
new things? 1 have said this much
to call attention to something that
will come to pass later on. We
should alw ays keep a good watchman
oil the look out.
Corn crop looks well out in this
locality ; cotton all not planted, and
gardens backward. Hut, the pro-
ducer has no say so iu the price he
gets for what he produces.
Our legislature, it seems, do but
little, save to increase the taxes and
make larger appropriations for their
frieuds.
Candidates for ollice, promise a
great deal, but 'lie ollice once se-
cured, they generally act to please
t henisclves.

At San Antonio, on the night of

Met ice w as opened and the body
robbed of the jewelry with which it
had been laid away. The Kxpress
says that iuvcsligaliou showed that
the hand of the corpse had been
moved and that the ear rings had
been taken out of the ears. One of
these had been dropped by the rob-
bers in the grave and the other pro-
bably carried off. There were two

rings on the hand, but these were
left untouched. It is supposed Ihe
robbers had made a mistake iu the
grave opened, and were either
frightened away from their work, or,
oil discovering their mistake, hail re-
tired from the scent.'. It is probable
they intended to rob the grave of
Miss Katie Met ice, sister of Miss
Mamie, who died in November of
las' year, and was laid to rest with
all of the jewelry she had worn in
lift!. The crime aroused the greatest
indignation throughout the city of
Sail Antonio. I'lic young ladies were
daughters of Mr. Tom MHlce, who.
it is thought here, is the son of Mr.
Frank McfJcc, a former resident of
this county, but later til San Marcos.
