In Uit library of Mr. D P. Hopkiua of
thlt plaoej vrs Intoly "cams acroen" a rare
and tuterooting volnmo "The FoeU of Con-
nocticut" editod by Ker. 0. W. Evoroat
and published in 1847. It gives biographi-
cal aketohea with extract from their writ-
ings of forty.four poetical writers of that
little Btate down to that time. The liat
comprises several names that are new to ua
along with others which are familiar. Even
the latter however afford a striking com-
mentary upon the evanescent character of
literary fame. Some of them who were
once stippCBed to have won a lasting fame
are already well nigh forgotten. Among the
best recollected if not permanently famed
names on the list we find the following i
Joel Barlow Rev. John Fierpont; Mrs.
Signourney S. O. Goodrich FitxGroene
Halleck J. G. Porcival J. G. 0. Brainard
Prosper M. Wetmore Geo. D. Prentice
Hugh Peters J. 0. Rockwell Jesse E. Dow
Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens Win. H. Barlelghand
Laura M. Thurston.
We propose by favor of Mr. Hopkins
treating our readers from timo to time to
some of the choice productions contained in
this volume. For the present we give
them a Bpirited poem on the battle of San
Jacinto which we have never seen in any
Texas publication and which we think will
be read with interest Tho author was Goo.
HilL ono of tliQ names comprised in this
volume. He was a friend of the poet Hal-
leek and although now so little known was
a noted scholar and publio man in his day.
We like the pooin and espoc lally the allusion
to Crockett contained In the last two lines:
Ed. Fiiee Fbess.
toe battle of san jacinto.
'Tis done! the sword is once more sheathed
So nobly drawn iu valor's cause;
And Texas sees her soil bequeathed
To freeboru men aud equal laws;
Bequeathed by those who whether they
Ab victors or as vanquished fell
Have left a deathless memory
A spirit that no might may quell.
The monuments of freedom are
Tho nameB of such; the neroll decays;
Nor less will time the mnrblo spare .
Where fame records their deeds and praise;
The names of those whose swords have won
Redeemed the green sod where they lie
Transmitted still from sire to son
From heart to heart can never die.
And by their graves in years to come
Whore firm they stood or rushed to greet
With shouts the foeman's trump and drum
He never more Bhall wind or beat
Shall dwell a race untaught to bow
To tyrant power a race whose hands
Shall bear the flag whose free folds now
In triumph float to other lands.
And there the sire as the plough turns
Some warlike relic from the sod
Whoso mould the battle-ranks inums
That few but fearless "blood-shod strode"
Shall from it shako the dust and to
Tho stripling turn and proudly say
"Here firm we stood there fell the foe
On Texas' independence day."
Shout for the yet surviving brave!
Weep for the brave who bled or fell
Where Texas' green savannas wave
Her hills and forests proudly swoll;
For Houston and his gallant band
The men whose blood was freely shed
And him whose cry as from his hand
The death-blade dropped was "Go ahead! "
The lluda la Wlaier.

WASHIXOTOS LETTER.
f Hrgular wrraspondo oca l lb a Paaa Paaaa.l
Washinoton D. a Deo 22 '80.
After all the recess does not com-
mence soon enough. An earlier be-
ginning by two ilnys woultl bavo
saved the infamous personal altorca-
tion of yesterday between representa-
tive Weaver and representative Sparks.
Happily or unhappily I don't know
which no blood was Bhed but such
words as liar coward villian scound
roL etc. wore froely used and blows
wore prevented only by the interpo-
sition of membors who managed to
keep thoir heads. One excited gen-
tleman rushed around tho place
where Weaver and Sparks were dis-
gracing themselves pulled off his
coat and shouted "If this is a free
fight I want to bo in it" No doubt
Mr Weaver was much more blame-
worthy than Mr. Sparks but they
both acted and talked like denizens
of the Five Points. The House
ought to refuse the apology both
the gontlemen will probably make to-
day aud cenmire them.
Mr. Wood was unable to got action
on hie funding bill when ho called it
up yesterday. More opposition was
developed than he expected though
there is undoubledly a majority in
favor of the bill. Ho hoped to got a
vote to-day prior to the adjourament
but will not be able to do so.
Messrs. Wills and Weaver opposed
the bill yostosday.
The army bill being t'ae fif ih
propriation bill was reported on
Monday in the house. It provides
for 25000 men. Amendments will
be offered increasing the number.
The amount of money mentioned in
the bill is 29000000.
' The Penr.ion bill for next year al-
ready pasaod by tho House appropri-
ates $50000000. The appropriation
for the present year which was
about 30000000 is nearly exhausd
and the commissioner asks for about
18000000 more. I have some know-
ledge of this subject and do not be-
lieve the 50000009 just appropriat-
ed will cover the expenditures of the
next year by twelve or fifteen millions.
Anunexpestedamountof opposit'on
ko the Confirmation of Jadgo Woods
nominated to tho Snproine Bonch
has beeri developed. The vote on
CQlifii'mation showed that eight Sena-
tors apposed but a motion was made
to reconsider and the subject will ro
main open until several absent mem-
bers return.
The course Mr Hayes has tnkon
in relation to army matters promot-
ing personal or political friends with
out regard to regularity or precodent
and retiring - or ommitting to retire
officers for the same insuffie'ent rea
son is sure to have a doraorahzhi
effect upon the force.
Some feo ing is manifested in fa-
vor of Lhe Oklahoma seltlers Payim's
band. There agent is here an 4 will
see Mr. H tyes and the Secretary of
War. He has talked with ma.iy
members of Congress. Personally
ho is not tho m:tn to m :ke many con-
verts or to secure executive favor
but the case of the settlers now fclandj
better than ever before with all class
es of officials because several trusted
army ofli jew who have know'euge of
tiie subject have recency declared
their beiief in the rignUjousness of
what ihe settlers demand. Colonel
Djilge just appointed in the staff of
Gen. Sherman is one of these officers.

I'haaea of Humaa Life.
It is not true tlutt the peoplo are
growing worsoj yet many are ltd to
tltink so after reading the papers
much of whose space is filled with all
sorts of criuiesi but the sUteinont ap-
pears ot firat glanvo to contain a large
perceutage of truth) however the ap-
pearance exists only iu namo not in
fact We are so accustomed to the
highly sensational and thowoakerand
vicious phases of society thut wo take
no notice of tho thousands whoso doily
walk in upright and are known as quiet
industrious and law-abiding citizens.
Are we not too apt to condemu indis
criminatoly a whole class of poisons
for tho shortcomings of ono oulyT Is
there not also a side of human life that
is raroly seen in the public prints! Lei
but a single person either man or
woman take one fiuse stop mid it
becomes known soon it passes from
lip to lip only to be flashed to all parts
of the country as a choice pioco of nowa.
While perhaps in the very saino lo
cality tho hundreds who walked in the
path of right are entirely overlooked
their names unknown except to a
small circle of personal awniaintances
and were it not thoy are numbered in
the census record their names would
never appoar in public. Of thoir happy
healthy social life the outside world
knows next to nothing.
This phase of life and conduct we
are prone to neglect in making an esti
mate of human conduct. If one pub-
lio official proves recreant to the trust
committed to his care it as soon as
found out ib heralded to tho world as
another proof of general infidolity lo
publio faith. Bat of the thousanda
who perform their duty faithfully and
as much as is ever said to them is "Ac-
counts balanced aud found correct!"
A brief sentence is sufficient to toll
the whole history of offisial intes'-ity.
Tho gigantic contests from the pu
gilist up ta tho railroad king are dn'y
chronicled but tho mon of peaco are
quiet in thoir security from outside
tongues. Gaunt pedestrians-all nerve
boneandmuscle tramp tramp upon the
track to the utmost limit of human en-
duranoe yet the millions of men who
fo'low tho plow and are most worthily
engaged work day in and day out
without ever attracting the attentign
of the gay tho thoughtless and the
giddy. Thoir tread is as the tramp of
the millions because it is in the inter-
est of humanity; and tho men who
stand through storm and sunshine
heat and cold tj protect life and prop-
erty more powerful than governors in
preserving order how little is said of
their faithfulness' not because we do
not appreciate it only we are used to
it
Health is called a state of conscious-
ness and of this we aro told next to
nolli;ng. Only the blotches and pim-
ples and putrid sores and tho lurid
criaro of tho vilest nassion aro brought
to the surface they ure not and can
not be the indices of social life and
health. They do not represent the
better side of man's nature. This

On Sunday the Cth of April 1802
Johnston aud his eager army began
his fateful fight Ha handled hip
ardent army with brilliant skill and
impetuosity. Whenever there was a
pause in the onward movement ha
led the charge in person. To those
who saw him tlutt day aa tha writer
ditl in all the glorious fever of that de-
lirious suocetts mounted on a magnif-
icent steed his massive figure scorn-
ing to enlarge to gigantic- aire with
tho ardor ot battle hia faoa aflame
with hia indomitable spirit of fight
he waa tho idea eiubodimont of the
fiery essence of war.
He threw himself with recklesa in
difference into danger. And the lost
oiwrge that broke the federal posi-
tion Was led by him in person under
a perfect bluxe of flame and hail hia
horse shot in four places bis clothes
pierced hia foot sole cut by a minie
but his person untouohed. It waa
in this supreme moment of notorious
onset a decisive triumph seemingly
and surely in his eager grasp that a
fatal bullet struck him a email wound
under the knee severing the popliteal
artery. ;.
Governor Harris of Tonnessee who
was on hia stuff rode up to him see
ing him reel in hia saddle and hold
ing him steady asked him I "Gener
al are you wounded t" He replied
deliberately and with emphasis I
"Yes and I foor seriously i He was
lifted to the ground. . Hia boot was
f ull of blood and the life current
nonrini? out beyond recall. He nev-
l o If
er spoke agiun. Goneral Preston
knelt by him and asked him passion -
ately: "General Johnston do you
know mol" Gon. Johnston smiled
faintly. Lving in arravino out of the
way of the merciless bulleta he was
dead in a twinkling.
Could General Johnston have had
immediate medical attention he would
have survived. His staff surgoon
was Dr. David W. Yandoll of Ken-
tucky and ho was away from him un-
der circumstances that constitute
the most toucliing and beautiful fea-
ture of this romantio death. The fed-
orals in retreating left of course
their wounded behind. In riding
forward Gon. JohnBton came across
a squad of wounded federal officers
and soldiors. ' Stopping ho kindly
addreused them and asked if any
were badly wounded. Then turning
to his staff he remarked s ''It nearly
breaks my henrt to see men in that
uniform suffering. Doctor" address-
ing raudoll "do stop and see if you
can do something for these poor fel-
lows." 1 .
Dr. Yandoll stopped on this hu-
mane mission and General Johnston
owed his death to the absence of
skill and instruments and thia ab-
sence was duo to his tender humanity
to the wounded foe a humanity all
tho more striking because it was ex-
hibited in uli the excitement of bat-
tle. It is a pleasure to reflect that this
distinguished citizen of Texas died
while galluntly leading Ids men in
battle and that ono of his last acta
was to extend tho courtesies of kind-
ness and humanity to the wounded
and sullemig of the Tedend army.

Many if not a majority of the names . .
of 800 or 900 girla from the public
aohoola examined for admission to the
normal college give us theiinpresriion
that tber belong to mere household
peta ratner than to young women who
ore approaching maturity and who
ore engaged in aerioua work. These
girla apparently prefer the nicknamea
by which they are known in the ftunily
circle and to intimate friends and '
therefore take pains to adopt them uv
thoir signatured.
In ao doing the publio achool girla '
are not exceptional among our young -women
for it ia quite the taahionnow-
a-daya for them to grow ao enamoured
of their nursery appelationa that they
cling to them aa their fixed and proper
nam oa. They may even be offended
when they are addreMed by their cor-
rect names which they imagine leaa ;
pretty than these pet diminutivedj and
aome grave grown-up women wiu pu '
Hattie or Quasi e liiamie or Sallie on
their cards as if they were in pinafores
still. . .
The fashion is American but our
patriotism can not make us grow fond
of it The nicknames which appoar in '
ao large a share of these publio achool
girl's aignatures would do very wall

signature and surely do not befit tho .'
dignify of womanhood. 1 '
We find for instance among these '
800 names scores of Minnies 'or Mamies i
and only here and there a Mary a muoh
more euphonious and dignified name. .
Jane is transformed usuaTly into Jenny
Caroline into Carrie Ellen to Ella
Elizabeth into Lizzie and Bessie Kath
erine into Katie Martha into Mattie
Margaret into Maggie Anne and Anna -into
Annio and Harriet into Hattie.
Such absurd names as these appear quit
frequently: ChattieLiUie Millie Til-
he Kittie Rosie Nettie Bibbie Aggie
and Maggie. i -
The great aim seems to beto manu :
facture a name which ends in ie and
in accomplishing it the finest appela-
tions for women who have names re-
nowned in poetry and history and of :
a sweet and molodious sound are chop-
nod nn into childish - diminutives.
They convey an idea of pettiness and
do not belong to girls of dignity and
character fnrls like those who are .

And yet these girls think it is pretty
to be known by such pet names and
so discard as ugly and old-fashioned
the names by which they are christen-
ed. ' What would they tliinkto see a
college register which give th'e young
men's names aa Jimmie Billie Bobbie '
Tommie Charlie Sarnie and Dickie.
This fashion is extending among
women and girls are even named with
nicknames only as if they were always
to be nothing more than nursery pets..
And yet this is a period when women '
ure contending for higher considera-
tion as rational beingp and when the '
range of their occupations outside of
the domestic circle is constantly wid-
ening and growing in importance.
