The rrnds Of Texas with ohihuahUo.


The enterprising citizens OF western lexas'
ho,b At Rro,ynsyille and San Antonio, are rapidly
ostahI;,b;no friendly relations with the Mexican
prnvipoes. The large and lucrative trade of Chi
brsbu.. which has been for so many years mono
nolized by ST. Louis, will soon be turned to the
South. The route by the Passes on the Rio Grande
shortens the distance more than one half. Beside
the route lies SO much further South that the grass
is fit for consumption several weeks earlier and
later than in the Santa Fe and st. Louis route
In 1899, a company Of Mexican traders WIN
100000 in silver ingos, struck Fort Towsoll, Oh
Red River, and thus reached New Orleans ihey

taken, Mr.. Benton passed some debenture law 70
the benefit of the Chihuahua trade. The cores

Gov. Butler, of South Carolina, who was kiIle
at Churubusco, had plantation in the neighbo
hood of Shreveport, and in lS4l studied the subjst
carefully, and made strenuous effort to organic

Death OF John moponogh.

- DIED-In Algiers Opposite this city, on 0atur-
day, John McDonogh, aged IT, lie was the
wealthiest man in the State. He invested his pro-
perty chiefly il wild lands, and probably was the
largest landed proprietor in the United States
Unfortunately he did not improve his possessions
In the Parish of Plaquemines alone, he owned LAND
enough fronting on the river to make score oil
respectable sugar plantations. He came to NE"
Orleans in 1900, before the change in the Govern
ment He was tall thin man, with long white
hair and brilliant blue eyes. He walked with great
rapidly, and it troubled younger men to keep up
with him. His dress on the street for years has
been full suit OF blue, made in the fashion of
period beyond the memory Of the oldest inhabitant
As man of business he was rigid in the enforce
ment of his contracts. He lived alone--he was
never marred-and his relatives he entirely neg
lected. For years he has been deeply interested
in the cause of African colonization and it is ex-
pected by many that his will contains disposition
of his immense estate to the Colonization Society.
II is to be opened this morning, and public curiosity
will be gratiied. Some years since he enamel
pated large number of slaves, and sent them to
Liberia. He had made bargain with them years
before, by which they were to work stated mum.
Der of hours for him. the rest of the time was thei
OWuy ioE WHICH ne gave Ineh circuit. n tlllle dC
count was opened with each. In this manner they
gained first day, and finally the week, and ther
their time was their own. They continued to worl
for him another year, and thus had the means 0
paying their passage and obtaining an outfit TO
their new homes. If he did not altogether give
them freedom he gave them those habits Of indus
try and forethought, without which freedom is !
curse. Whatever may have been the harshness o

be allowed that he was a kind master. 1t is trut
that he exacted the last dollar which belonged t
him-that he would not clear lands, nor erect ex
pensive buildings-that he would neither sell, no
improve-that he seldom gave when appealed t
for the many objects of charity. No wonder tina
he leaves friends to grieve at his death. Blu
those alone should scof at his fraties and denounc
his conduct who can point to the performance o
some act, proportoned to their means, which com
pares with his emancipation and education of those
slaves.

The NewYorls Sun has full files of Jamaica
papers to the 18th inst. They contain very little
news of interest. In the Kingston Journal of the
9th we find report of the breaking out of Cholera
at Port Royal, on the Island and several deaths by
it Considerable alarm prevails in Kingston on the
subject.
A most terrific thunder storm visited Kingston
on the 9th inst. The electric fluid struck several
houses Several accidents occurred, but fortu-
nately no loss life is recorded.
A discussion is going in the Island on the
subject Of education proposition to establish an
exclusive Episcopal College by subscriptions from
the ministers of that body, has been put forward,
but is regarded by the Standard, and by the more
liberal minded ministers of the Episcopal Church
as a scheme uncongenial to the liberalism of the
times, and inefficient to supply the educationa
wants of the youth of the Island. Thus we find
sectaran and exclusive education calling forth con
domination from quarter where, few years since
! Episcopacy was supreme.
Business and Agricultural matters present NJ
! features Of great interest.
Stocks, especially of Flour, Meal, and Goldfish
are ample, and exceed the demand. The rainl
season has set in very early this year, and muc
rain is falling throughout the island.
