TEXAS AND ARKANSAS emigration
to these States from the older slave States
is remarkably large, and seems constantly
on the increase A recent number of the
Memphis Bulletin says:
eve have never before observed so large
a number of emigrants going westward as
are crossing the river at this point daily,
the two ferry boats sometimes three) going
crowded from early morn until the boots
cease, making their trips at night. 1t is no
uncommon sight to see from twenty to forty
wagons encamped on the bluff for the night,
notwithstanding there has been steady
stream going across the river all day !; and
yet the cry is still they come. The emigra-
ton is from the older States, mostly Virgi-
MIA, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi. and this State, all
going to settle in Arkansas and Texas
Jud ging from these indications, the influx
of population into these States will be larg-
er this season than ever, and of good sub
stantial citizens"

A GREAT CoUNTRY-From the subjoin-
ed paragraphs, which we clip from recent
number of 1.-The Crockett Printer" paper
published at Crockett, Texas, we are more
than ever convinced that Texas is ''some" in
the agricultural line:
Peaches After several severe white
frosts there are still good ripe peaches in
Houston county; Mr.. Louis Goodman hand
ed us two fine ones last week, just plucked
from the tree; they were not quite so juicy
as before the frost, but they were good and
of rosy red, sound and firm. These are
called November peaches; and Mr.. G. in
forms us that the orchard from whence these
were obtained has furnished peaches ever
since the month of June. Peaches six
months in the year is pretty good for Texas.

co stalk measuring 9 feet 8 inches in height

PROTEST OF CENTRAL AMERICA AGAINST


PROTEST OF CENTRAL AMERICA AGAINST
WALKER.-Special conversations are report
ed to have been had by the representatives
of Costa RIGA, San Salvador, New Granada
and Honduras, with the Secretary of State
in reference to the contest between their re-
spective States and Nicaragua. The repre-
sentatives are understood to have protested
against the countenance given here to the
Walker administration. This they are I'M
derstood to have declared to be adverse to
the independence of their own government,
indirectly an attitude of hostility, and state
of affairs which, persevered in, must for a
long period prevent the reign of political
peace within the republics of Central Amer
lea, and so indefinitely postpone the social
and commercial progress of those interest
ing portions Of the American continent
The governments of Central America, there
fore urge upon the government of the Uni
ted States the propriety of interdicting an
invasive policy which, continued, would in
effect neutralize the efforts of the govern
ments of Central America to build up polit-
ical superstructures in all respects advan-
tageous to the general prosperity and inter-
ests of nations.

HORSE SAusAGE-Dog at a Discount.-A
great breeze has been kicked up in Detroit,
in consequence of the discovery Of horse
beef sausages, made by German in that
city. According to the French authority,
horse-beef is as good as any and in Paris,
at the present time, sorrel steaks, iron-gray
chops and roam sausages are eaten with
great relish. Dog sausage, brought in COM
petion, is always at discount. We prefer
the old Connecticut article, made of chopped
turnip and red flannel, to either the equine
or canine kindly. Y. Post.

A SAD EvENr.-The New York Mirror
of Saturday relates the following pathetic
account of the death of a young lady:
Miss Anna M. Lachaise, daughter of
James NJ. Lachaise, of this city, died on
board the Arago on the Sd instant, after a
short illness from brain fever, aged 10
years. This young lady was engaged to be
married to gentleman of this city, immedi-
ately on her arrival, and the bridal wreath
was bespoken. To-day, the flowers that
were to have adorned her nuptials are strewn
upon the bridal bed of death She was bu-
ried in her wedding robes this morning.
The delay in the arrival of the steamer
caused some anxiety among those who had
friends on board and there was one who
watched at the wharf until midnight on Fri
day and when the good news was telegraph
ed-':the Arago is below"-he went home
to his friends inexpressibly happy. The
next morning, on going early to the ship to
welcome the bride of his heart he found that
'sthe soul of his SOULS idoI' had just depar-
ted. The cold casket was there, but the
beautiful jewel was gone. It is a sad thing,
at best, to fix ones affections on these love-
~, yet perishable beings, whose brittle hold
on life
--sIs like the spiders thread,

A Coop SIGN.-Resolution have been
introduced into the South Carolina Legisla-
ture against the continual agitation of abb
stract theories relating to the slave trade and
other kindred matters as dividing and dis
tracing the State, and alternating from her
the support and sympathies Of the other
States. This is an indication that South
Carolina is growing tired of the rule of poll
ticians, who have kept her alienated, as it
we're, from the rest of the Union.

THE CROP OF INDIAN CoRN.-It is stated
that recent investigations show that the In
dian corn crop of the United States is of
more value than any other agricultural pro-
production, not even excepting cotton. The
culture Of corn has wonderfully increased of
late years-its ratio of increase being far
greater than any other product. From 1889
to 1S49, as per census returns, the increase
was ffty-eight per cent. Wool is the next
highest, its increase being fifty per cent;
cotton twenty-four; oats twenty, and wheat
sixteen. The cotton crop of 1851 was 927,
000,0 pounds, valued at $112, 900, 900,
while the corn crop of 1850 was 500, OOO.-
900 of bushels, which, at the lowest posi-
BILE price at which it can be estimated, is of
far greater value than the cotton crop.

wearing furs is at hand, few words on the
subject will be useful to many persons.
Muas. capes, 1euffss and. other articles Of
fur should be beaten smartly with switch,
then brushed with a stiff brush and careful
ly examined. If there are any moth-eaten
parts in them they shonld be cut out, and
their places supplied with other pieces of
fur which match them in color, neatly sew
ed in. The lining and stuffng will have to
be removed for this purpose. White should
be rubbed over smartly with stick of pipe
clay. then switched, and afterwards careful
" brushed. This operation will make them
look clean.
To remove grease from fars they require
70 be treated thoroughly by person engag-
I'd in the business; still, any person may
remove some of the grease from a muff
or cape by placing the article on a table,
covering the spot with layer of soapstone
dust about an inch deep. laying sheet of
blotting paper upon it, and on the top of
that warm fat iron-not too hot The
heat of the iron softens the grease in the fur,
and the soapstone dust then absorbs it
Warm soapstone dust rubbed among furs,
then switched out and brushed off improves
their appearance. Soapstone dust can thus
be employed for all kinds of fur, and of
every color Scientific american.

THE NEW CENT PIEcEs.-The idea enter
tanned by some that no new cent pieces have
been manufactured is mistake. Congress
passed law authorizing their coinage, but
neglected to provide for their issue. The
consequence is, that heap of them are
now at the Philadel phia mint awaiting the
order of Congress to circulate. They are
about the size of the half-cent circulated ff-
teen or sixteen years ago, and are composed
of copper, nickel and zinc.

hear that Patrol Companies are forming in

intention of the Captains of these Patrols to
