fXE 7^1 BILL for t h e
relief of Rol ert
Sterling and his
men." 1 was
leaning over the
Indies' gallery
of the Texas
senate chamber
wli/en 1 heard
these words,
and saw tlie
-hange they instantly produced over a
tome what indifferent and uninterested
aouse. Ennui kindled into entiuisl-
ism, and debate merged into euloRium,
to that the bill was finally passed al-
jiost by acclamation.
1 heard enough to make me intensely
nirious, and it was, therefore, no small
pleasure to lenrn that a party of sum-
mer tourists, in whUJh 1 was included,
were to be the first bearers of the news
o the old man<
JI is cottage stood on the outskirts of
i large cedar brake. It was in the
usual Texas order of architecture—two
large rooms, with a wide passage be-
tween them. The logs had never been
painted or dressed, but a luxuriant
white jasmine covered it with an al-
most supernatural loveliness.
Calm and peaceful it looked without,
and yet within the greatest of all
struggles jvas going on—the struggle
of the eternal out of time. That it had
been a hard one, in- Robert Stirling's
jase, was (jute evident. "Many and
*vil days" was his own history of life,
and I read the confirmation in a scarred-
and sorrowful face full of gray old
agree. Uut with Agnes Sill -
ing 1 remained unsatisfied, simply be
cause she did not know herself.
"1 was not born here," she told me.
♦*My first memories are of crowds of
faces that were not kind t*> me, of
water that seemed to have no cud. and
of a small vessel in which we nearly
perished."
" 'We?'" I repeated, interrogatively.
"That is, my mother and I and ray
eldest brother, lie was a little baby
then, wailing night and day in her
arras, lie lived to be a noble boy, and
to die in her defense."
"Hut where was Capt Stirling at
that time?"
She detected a suspicion of something
she did not upprove in my voice, and
she answered in a tone that was almost
That was
where the misery began and ended.
When we got to him we were very
lmppy. __
"Do \ it remember that?"
"Itis impossible that I ever should for-
get it After we had b -en a long time
on tho water, one morning, just at sun-
rise, we were put into a little l>ont anil
rowed toward the land. A man stood
waiting for us— a man whom I had
never consciously seen, but whom
1 knew at sight On all that bar of
lonely sand he was the only living
thing And he looked so handsome
und so happy, as he stretched out his
arms and shouted to us. I
think he will stand just so
to welcome me when 1 see him
next. When our feet touched the land
he could not speak for joy, and I re-
member well that his first action was
to kneel down ami kiss my mother's
hands. 1 don't understand even now
why he did it, but I am sure it was
well done. An ox wagon, driven by
that old negro you see smoking before
the quarters, brought us here. I have
no idea how long it took us. I was a
silent child, and never asked many
questions; and when I saw the green,
cool woods, and the strange beauty
and wealth of the flowers, 1 think 1 be-
lieved we were in Heaven. One day I
found courage to ask I'rince, as he was
yoking the oxen, if it were so. lie
looked at me with a kind of reverence.
Many a man, wise in his own eyes,
would have laughed at my ignorance;
but I'rince answered solemnly: 'De lit-
tle children. Miss Agnes, are alius pret-
ty nigh to the Kingdom ob Heaven.' I
never forgot the look and the words,
and 1 understand them now, though 1
did not then."
Piece by piece I patched out the
years of her childhood, and it made a
story startlingly dramatic, and almost
incredible to those who have never
learned that adversity sees miracles.
But, with all its romance, it was still
the old story of woman hourly crucify-
ing every selfish thought, and filling
her space with lovely deeds and faith-
ful prayers, instead of lingering years.
When Agnes was seventeen years of
age. the tragedy occurred which
clouded all her future life. She had
then three brothers: Robert, nearly
sixteen; Alick, twelve, and llarry,
seven. Although fifteen years had
passed since its occurrence, she was
greatly agitated in its recital.
"It is very hard to speak of it," she
said, "but I want you to know all.
Otherwise tnueh that you may hear of
ray father will seem so savagely crucL
It if., indeed, the only key to that por-
tion of ll'S life with which the public
have to ui).
"It was on the 24th of October, in the
year 1843. There had beeu slight
frosts, and as father was going to the
mill, which lay in the river bottom,
seven miles off, mother proposed that
I should go with him, and, while the
corn was being ground, help to gather
some of the winter grapes and pecans
which abound in tlie valley, and to
which the frosts had now added the
last delicate fiavor. I was a little as-
tonished at the proposal, for llobert
but suffer, noue but Ood knows. But
in half a yeur he was in the saddle
again, at the head of some of the most
reckless men in the country. For
nearly three years all search was un-
availing, but nothing daunted or dis-
couraged him. Only, every time he

The moat important bureau attached 1with complete mul.-r-
to the department of the Interior is the
ension bureau which expends nearly

came home, he came a sterner and a snd for three years has been the cause
yt vexation to the administration and
discredit to the people. Its importance
justified the expectation that in his an-
nual report the secretary of the interior
would discuss its affairs with great
frankness ami thoroughness. The re-
port disappoints that expectation, for
out of a volume of 170 pages barely
ten are devoted to tho pension depart-
ment and these are so colorless that
conclusions from them can be extracted
only by the aid of other reports.
The one simple fact, however, that
stands out above all others, is the state-
ment that $145,000,000 will be required
to pay pensions during the next fiscal
year,"and that thereafter an annual ap-
propriation of SldO,000,000 will be re-
quired for several years, until death
shall reduce these drafts on the treas-
ury. The secretary's report is the full-
est confirmation of the fears expressed
| by the democratic newspapers and
lemocratic congressmen that the pau-
per pension bill, as the republican Buf-
falo Express aptly termed it would iu-
j volve the "country in an outlay of
i £150,000,000 for pensions annually. The
| secretary of the ititeiior is evidently
afraid of the consequences of his own
confession, for we notice that in the
neat and convenient summary he has
i caused to be prepared for the press this
most important fact in theeutire report
lias been omitted. Of course, it cannot
be suppressed.
The unchecked growth of pension
appropriations cannot much longer be
I tolerated unless the people are pre-
harder man. St on the wildest stories
of his cunning aud cruelty and reck-
less bravery were in every mouth. I
do not believe anyone blamed him
much, and I—I loved him better than
ever. And, oh! after Alick was recov-
ered, crippled and dying, and I knew
how little Harry had been almost tor-
tured into the grave, there were hours
in which 1 not only pitied but excused
him."
"Then you saw one of your brothers
again."
"Yes; father found him with a party
of Comanche horse thieves, in tho
fourth year of his captivity. Tlicy say
he took fearful vengeanc > for the boy's
sufferings. I cannot blame him. Alick
lingered many months, and became
so dear to me in all those hours of suf-

cowardly."
"You think so?"
"Yes, 1 think so. Who would have
taken my place the last year? And
then what a joj' 1 should have missed!"
"A joy?''
"Certainly. I have been loved again.
All my years of patient waiting and
silent prayer acknowledged and an-
swered. I have had many happy days
the last seven years, and for more than
that time every family in the country
has rested in safety under the shadow of
my father's name. For a long time he
has been a just, as well as a brave, man,
and I am glad because he lived to know
the state acknowledged his services
and provided for his child and friends."
"And what will you do now?"
"Wait There is always duty. When
everything else is gone duty

and the old men who have made this
cabin for years a shelter in sickness
and lad weather."
"Is that all you will have?"
"That—and C od. My solitude is not
empty, and J shall find sjine good to

I looked at tho calm, strong face,
and read in it a sermon not mud<

A SCANDALOUS ACT.
Tho Appointment of u lt«put>llrttn Fire
bonier to th* Cabinet.
Mr. Harrison's nomination of Steve
Ml kins for secretary of war is a public
scandal, and if there had been sense
of decency enough in the republican
party to control the senate the nomi-
nation would have been rejected. Ifc
is oft.mi argn ■ I that a president is en
titled to select his cabinet members
regardless of their character, as they
arc his "confidential advisers" and
really his private secretaries. But
they are also heads of departments,
an I they should not be exempt from
tests of fitness which apply to others
in tho department service. The noto-
rious unfitness of a cabinet oilier
nominated by the president ought to
insure the rejection of the nomination,
regardless of the ulterior and private
purposes the president may have had in
the premises. When a scandalous nom-
ination is made to the senate it is the
senate's duty to reject it
No one in the senate can conscien-
tiously deny that the nomination of
Klkins is scandalous. He is one of
the most desperate adventurers In
the country. No other man in the
country combines so thoroughly
the attributes of the political and
financial freebooter. His connec-
tion with the land rings and land
grabs of New Mexico is notorious.
He has operated in politics as a means
of promoting the most doubtful enter-

There is a unanimity of opinion
among republicans that the best in-
terest of the country will be better
subserved if the tariff is suffered to re-
main as it is. After a long and bitter
campaign in Ohio Maj. McICinley
arrived at this conclusion. Others
prominent in republican party councils
took up the cry of "Let the tariff alone,"
and passed it along the line. In his
message President Harrison advised a
democratic congress to steer clear of the
tariff, as the people were tired of the
question and the country was enjoying
like a demand on the | an era of prosperity which should not

"The truth was, 1 had a little trouble |
of my own at the time—a love affair ;
which my father, wisely, 1 have «io
doubt, interdicted. For some days I
had felt hard toward him in conse-
quence, and my mother's good, wise
heart foresaw that a few hours to-
gether would put all right. So she
brought me a clean dross and my white
sun-bonnet, and looked into my face
with such an understanding sympathy,
that I could not resist the impulse to
twice turn buck and kiss her. Oh! 1
thank (Jod for this memory. Father
was pleased at my attention, and
smiled kindly at me as I took my
place beside him. When we got
to the bottom of the hill I pushed my
bonnet back and looked round. She
stood watching us and shading her
face with her hands. Father turned
at tlie same moment, and she waved us
a last adieu.
"A very last one, as it miserably
proved. In less than an hour after-
ward she was slain by the Cornanches,
after seeing her eldest boy almost
cut to pieces in her defense. Alick
and Harry, in the very beginning of
the attack, had been bound with raw-
hides and given up to the care of two
inferior savages.
"And yet that day father was in
such wild, gleeful spirits as I .had
never before seen. Evidently he had
no presentiment of any trouble until
we reached the bottom of the hill on
our return. The absence of all signs
of mother or the boys silenced him.
In another moment he had noticed a
tliln smoke coming from the open
door. With a cry and a bound like
nothing human he sprang to the
ground. A few minutes told us all our
misery. The bodies had been set on
fire, but enough remained to identify
mother and Robert, and my father
guessed only too well the fate of the
younger boys.
"The earthen floor and heavy logs
had saved the house, but I am sure
neither of us at that moment thought
of it as a mercy. The negro, s were
still in the brake, and our only horse i
with them. Hut by nightfall the wli ;
country was roused and following a

and the most plausible view is that a

at the effective moment to give Harri-
