T. n. Osborne, who is one of the MANY
claimants for the honor of having projected
the Atlantic telegraph, which now sleeps be-
meath the sea, is in Boston, urging upon CAPT
talists a scheme for telegraph from Boston to
Halifax, and thence TO London. He proposes
to lay submarine cable from Cape Ann to
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, 200 miles, and an
other 200 miles from Yarmouth to Halifax,
making the distance from the latter point to
Boston 400 miles, or only a little more than
half the length of the land lines to Halifax.
Mr.. Osborne is confident that no second cable
will be sunk between Ireland and Newfound-
land, and he states that Blanc SabIon, in the
Straits Of Belleisle, is nearer to Ireland than
is Trinity Bay.
The fact that distinct words have recentl,
passed over the Atlantic cable from Newfound
land to Ireland, by the use of more powerful
battery, with the same imperfect telegraph in
struments that were first placed OH the line, in
duces the inquiry, why not the Hughes in
struments tried in connection with the powerful
batteries? And why are not the Balm instru-
ments tried? They are not even mentioned
IN connection with the cable, while it is evident
that they are the simplest and most likely t.
work over an imperfect line. 1t is astonishing

good novels in this respect-that, while its reli-

Webster and Haynes Celebrated Speeches in the Uni
ted States Senate. Philadelphia: 4. b. Peterson 4
Brothers.
These celebrated speeches are got up in
pamphlet form; we suppose, for extensive circu-
latiOn. AS they have often been published, and
have no special pertinence to the times, we do
not see why they are issued now, except to give
an opportunity to the public again to peruse
webster's 7th of March speech on the Slavery
Compromise, which is reprinted with them.
They can hardly raise such weight as that
the tail is too heavy for the kite.

early Texas Reaninesene os.

Col. Saml. NJ. Williams, of Galveston,
whose death was recently announced, was
private Secretary to Col. Austin, who was
the first colonist under grant from Mexico.
Austin and Williams were the first Ameri-
can settlers in the Province of Texas For
many years they endured the severest hard
ships in the wilderness even at one time
clothing themselves with the skins of wild
beasts. In the last years of his life Col.
Williams amused his friends with stories of
the early settlement OF the State. He said
at one time he sent Col John Austin from
San Felipe to Natchtoches, La, on mule
for ream OF paper upon which the first
titles of Austin's Colony were issued, there
being no paper in Texas, that he wrote these
titles on the top of a whisky barrel. Also,
that the first coat made in the colony was
made for him under live oak tree in 1926,
by John (Waco) Brown, just after his
escape from the Waco Indians. The cloth
was brought from Baltimore in 1921, and
Brown was the first man he could find in
the colony who could make coat

African Cotton.

The English manufacturers have been
searching the Temperate Zones of the earth
for region ths: would supply them with
cotton, and relieve them from their depend
ance ON the United States for the staple
which constitutes the basis of the power and
wealth of the English empire. They fatter
themselves that they have found it at last
ON the Western coast of Africa, where cot
ton is found growing spontaneously in great
luxuriance. If the report of Commodore
Wise, Commander of the British naval force
on the Western African coast, be reliable
cotton may become the great agent of the
civilization and regeneration of Africa The
London Telegraph says:
The Commodore, in his report, states that
cotton grows wild and uncultivated in great
profusion, and with vast rapidity, along the
whole coast of Guinea; in the neighborhood
of Sierra Leone and to the northward es-
pecially up the rivers inland, in all the
Byonga country; in the Republic of Liberia,
extending from Shebar to the river Pedro,
and for sixty miles inland throughout the
Blight of Benin, in the district inland of the
Blight of Brafra, from the mouths of the
Bonny, Niger, Old Calabar and CAMERON
rivers, aud in the whole province of Angola,
especially near the rivers Ouonsa, Bengo,
and Daude. In short, Gotten grows abund-
antly and is indigenous everywhere in the
whole western part Of Africa. Moreover,
the seasons are so well marked that proper
care need only to be paid to the period of
planting to prevent any loss being sustained
from wet during the opening of the pod,
| and, on the other hand, there is little preba-
bility of the cultivation suffering from
drought. From the nature OF the soil and
! the regularity of the seasons, the cultivation
of cotton can thus be prosecuted with the
greatest success in western Africa After
the plant has been fully established, the
| yield per acre will, doubtless, be equal in
! quantity and quality to that obtained in
Georgia Without there being any necessity
of resorting, as in the isles of Carolina, to
the aid of costly and exhausting manures,
| the finest kind of cotton-that known as
| the sea-island-can be obtained in all places
bordering on the ocean, such as the gold
ceast, to which our observations for the pres
ent are more particularly confined, where
the two great requisites for its produce ex-
ist-sea, air aud periodical inundation by
| rain.
