that within twelve months, at least $4,000
bales of cotton will be conveyed from
the interior Of Texas over the road to Swan

continue to increase with every mile OF the
road that is constructed; and, as soon as
It is built one or two hundred miles, the road
will have as much traffic as it can possibly

"a Fool FOR LUcK"-In the list of

whose name appears among the missing
is William Newman. 1t SO happens that
Newman failed to get off, and is still, we
believe, in San Francisco. He resided
about Nevada for some years, and was
generally regarded as halfwitted fellow.
He has relatives in the Eastern States who
are we'll off, and some of our citizens
induced Mr.. Stinchfeld to pay his passage
ana take charge of him home, by prom
ising to refund the passage money, pro-
vided Newman's friends refused to pay it..
Mr.. Stinchfeld purchased ticket for
Newman, which he kept in his pocket
and they went on the steamer together
They got separated, however, before the
vessel started, and when the ticket man
came around Newman not having his
ticket and not being able to find Stinch-
field at the time, was put ashore. Had
he been man of ordinary sense he would
undoubtedly have been among the unfor-
tunate passengers of the Central America.
