Texas and Arkansas,

Texas is getting ahead of us With all
our advantages we are still tagging behind
as State, intent on petty schemes of inGi-
vidual profit, while Texas is rapidly rising
in wealth and importance. Many men may
get rich in State and still the State remain
poor A State cannot prosper where the
generality of the people are depressed. and
Gnd it difficult to make living. With ev-
cry thing to make us flourish, we have been
idly drifting with the current, sometimes
humping against sawyers. ard sometimes

but she has overtaken and passed Us. VIII
we allow her to keep ahead Is her soil
better ?-is her climate better than ours
The fact is, improvidant legislation and the
sclfshness Of prominent men have been the
main causes Of our backwardEess We
have had energy, but it has been too much
the energy Of the selfish and unfaithfnl
who cared, indeed, but little for Arkansas
50 they put money in their pockets" We
have an industrious and enterprising popula
ton, but the obstacles which opposed them
have been too much for industry and enter.
prise to surmount. What other country
could bear the burdens which Arkansas ha:
borne without being even worse off than she
is? Consider the tax she has to pay fol
getting her produce to market, and if you
are astonished at her having been able tc
sustain herself at all under such burden
consider the evils of legislation, and the
withering spirit Of personal aegrandizemen,
which has too much controlled it, and you
will be overwhelmed with wonder.

Some Truth.

In endeavoring to keep pace with fete-
graphs and railroads. in other particulars
we are getting too fast for our own good
1t does not matter SO much nowadays hotc
thing is done so it is done with speed
1t took years to accomplish the great works
of antiquity, which, defying the touch of
Time, have endured to our day. Now a
great work like the Crystal Palace at New
York is built in few months. and it is al
ready contemplated to sell it and transfer
its materials to some other city. 1t former
" took longer time 20 travel between
widely separated cities. but the trip was
usually made without loss of life or broken
homes. Now a man had better make his
will before be starts on trip either by
steamboat or railroad, for fear of burSt mp
or collision. Formerly it required ma
ny years for man to acquire an education,
and what he learned was substantial, and
he never forgot it. Now it is customary for
young men to gallop through our schools
and colleges, without taking time or caring
to investigate anything thoroughly. 1t is
a dashahead age, and they have gained
what will most serve them in the rapid race
before them,-the name Of being educated
People haven't time to investigate as to
mans qualifications. They must rush
ahead. They haven't time to DO things
right, consequently they are likely to do
a great many things wrong. This is GER
tainly progressive age, hut it had better
look out or it will burst its boiler
The New-York Evening Mirror" says
on the subject The human race, the
American portion at least, are getting Oh
too much steam. If the old ages were too
slow. ours is becoming too fast The men
who built the pyramids were patient and
thoughtful, and after thirty centuries their
monuments survive; but what hastily up
heayed temple or column Of ours will stand
a thousand or hundred years. We are
too inpatient in everything we seek to ac-
compli>h. Our zeal TO get at the end-the

Reasons.

Some shreird observer, some time since,
gave in his experience as follows:
"You rarely, if ever, see politician with
smooth hair. grea. scholar with fine hair.
an artist with red hair. minister with long
hair, or an editor whose hair is carefully adj
justed."
We would suggest the following reasons
for the above. a politician seldom has
smooth hair, because the brain beneath it is
50 restless and turbid that it twists the
hair in all directions A politicians hair is
like pine thicket that whirlwind has
passed through. A great scholar seldom
has fine hair because the brain absorbs .
portion Of its nourishment, and leaves 1t
dry and coarse. An artist seldom has red
hair because artists are usually good ma
tured, and red hair generally indicates a
fiery temper. A minister never has long
hair, because the man of peace might mar
ry 4 vixen, and long hair would afford too
tempting a handle in family Jars. An
editor is seldom seen with his hair adj
justed, because those who take his paper
and advertise in his columns won't adjust
their accounts, and he is not able, for this
reason, to buy comb

Coal Mines.

We learn from the last Camden (Ouachita
county, Herald" that valuable coal mines
have been discovered near that place. The
coal beds it is said, extend for several miles
along the West bank of the Ouachta river
above Camden The secret of their exist
ence has been known for several months,
but kept, until the lands containing the
coal, which were in the reservation, were
again brought into market. Mr. EZRA
HILL and others, it is stated, then entered
several thousand acres. The editor very
justly says 1t is something strange that the
people of Arkansas should have sat down so
long in perfect apathy, complaining of their
poverty. when the very earth upon which
they tread, contains within its bosom trea-
sureslthat are invaluable. There is little
doubt but what Arkansas possesses more
valuable minerals than any other State in
the Union; and the partial discoveries
which have already been made by compara-
lively inexperienced persons, demonstrates
the necessity of appointing a State Geolo-
gist, measure that has been too long neglect
ed by the wise Soons of our State, who pre-.
fer scrambling over few petty political Of

velep the resources of the country"
