TEXAS CLIMATg-Mr. Kendall, writing to
the New Orleans Picayune from his farm in
Texas, on the 18th of February. gives the fol-
lowing picture of the genial Spring that was
opening around him, while We were ice bound
here, and freezing by the side Of coal fire
New grass has started in all directions-could
we have warm rain and continuation of
such weather, the entire face Of the country
would at once put on dress Of richest green.
Peach trees are IN bloom, many wild flowers
are already seen upon the prairies, and as I
now write feel perfectly comfortable with
out coat or fire, and with doors and windows
wide open. Every paper from the old States
comes filled with dreary accounts of snow
storms and of suffering. Here we have had

CITIZENsHIP.-In the debate on the Mime
sofa Bill in the Senate it was argued that suf-
frage should ever remain an incident Of citi-.
xenshp, and that there was something anom-
alous in the proposition that Congress should
be empowered by the Constitution to enact q
uniform rule" for naturalization, and yet in
ceed to vest in ether than citizens, % one of p tn.
theory Of those who defended alien suffrage
was also held to involve the additional anom-
ly Of granting to those who owed no allegi-
ance to the General Government the privilege
OF controlling ana shaping one of its compo-
nent members; cohferring, in q word, the
highest rights of citizens upon those who
might join public enemy of the country
without incurring the penalty Of treason.

An EXCELLENT PRoPosITIoN.-The United
States Government holds large amount Of
trust for the Indians, and various objects, on
which it pays interest, while the money il
locked, MP, idle in the sub-treasuries. A bill
was offered the other day, proposing that
SS,O00.000. the estimated amount OF The trust,
should he invested in the stocks of prompt in
terest paying States, and the interest on the
stocks be appropriated to pay the interest on
the trust funds, by which the United States
would save nearly half million per annum.
The purchase of SO much State stock by the
government would relieve the stock market,
and enhance the value of all State stocks. But
the proposition was voted down la the House
by majority Of three. 1t will be brought
up at the next session.

SATURDAY MORNING:::::::::MARCH il

SINGULAR CAsE.-The Cincinnati Commsr-
cial says that on Friday last a young lady
named Williams, whose family resides on sew
enth street. near Cutter, in that city, died sud-
denly of disease Of the heart. The body was
dressed in the habiliments Of the grave, and
every necessary arrangement was made for
the funeral ceremonies, which were to have
taken place on Sunday last. The solution Of
the affair is as follows: 'on approaching tho
body for the purpose Of taking a last farewell
of the departed, relative noticed a percepti-
ble flush come over the countenance of the
dead. and on placing his hand over the region
of the heart, he was surprised to find it quite
warm, Notwithstanding the factor supposed
fact-that death had occurred three days pre-
yious. number,o medical men were at
once summoned, who, after consultation, ad-
vised postponement of the funeral, and the
hearSs and carriages were dismissed. Since
that time the body has not at all changed it's
apr earance. The countenance continues
flushed, and there is considerable warmth per-
ceptible in the region Of the heart. Mean
time the family and friends are in the greatest
doubt and perplexity, amid conflicting opin-
ions as to the nature Of the case. Some who
have visited the body, are confident that death
has actually taken place, while others main
tain tha, the young lady lies in trance. Hun
dreds Of people have visited the house daily,
attracted there by the sinsularity of the case.
