sheep Raising In Texas.

We always take pleasure in publishing any re-
liable information which we can obtain calculated
in our State, and more especially SO in this parti
cuar section. We have from time to time laid be-
fore our readers some highly instructive and valu
able information from the pen Of our particular
friend, Colonel George Wilkins Kendall, who is
certainly the prince of sheep raisers in Texas.
Hisvewsare always practical and coupled withlong
experience and a splendid success. There is no
country in the " wide, wide world, better adapted
to the growth of wool and mutton than in Western
Texas; and there is no business, ii well followed,
that will pay more in proportion to the means in
vested aud the attention bestowed. Besides, this
branch Of industry bids fair to increase in value
its present high figures.
With the increase Of the population of the
country there Is correspondingly increased
should prove that with free labor it costs more to
produce pound Of cotton than it does q pound
of wool, who can imagine to what extent the lat
and will BE- usea to supply Sl the gs
will certainly command high figures for many
years to come, and we never expect to see Texas
wool quoted in the future as low as, it has been
in the past. As wool advances, SO will the price
of sheep advance. Texas sheep and Texas wool
are annually becoming of finer grade and more
sought after. Texas will yet contain more sheep
and more produce, more mutton and more wool
than any other State In the American Union,
while the quality of both will equal the best in the
| market. ,,
While speaking upon this subject, We may men
ton that we recently received call from friend
who resides in Bee county, Mr.. John Mckenzie,
who gave us some glowing accounts OF his success
in the sheep husbandry down in Bee. He is en-
gagged principally in raising fine blooded sheep, on
account of the enhanced value Of their wool He
recently paid visit to the ranch Of one Of our
mountain wool growers, Mr.. VIM. D. Parrish, and
purchased from Mr.. P. Spanish merino buck,
raised on Mr.. P.s ranch, for which Mr.. Mckenzie
paid the snug little sum of four hundred and fifty
dollars. The original stock were imported from
| Vermont by Mr. Parrish.
| Sheep can be successfully raised in any portion
of Texas. But at the same time there is no doubt
that the mountain ranges are superior. Sheep1ove

in. They had not proceeded far however, before
Mr.. K. discovered, to his surprise, that the pre-
tended female had long boots on, which she unfor-
tunately disclosed to his view. At this BE- grew
very suspicious Of his passenger, and Intentionally
droppedhis whip to the ground, and. asked the.
lady to get ont and pick II mp for him, rsmsrking
at the same time, that his horses were very spir-
tied, and would not stand: nhe lady politely got M
out Of the wagon. but before she got back with
the whip, Mr.. Kelly gave the reins to big horses
and was safely ont Of reach minus only the wnie.

In this respect that famous association would
have left monument in even our country of what
combined effort, Joined to persevering genius, is
capable of effecting, as has been proven by the
wonderful organization not only of labor system,
but whole socalistic order movements, inaugu-
rated and successfully carried out by their devoted
priests in the South American States and provinces
Popular or monarchical prejudices being ever
directed against this celebrated society, people
would not make the distinction between what was
really beneficial to society, and what was so neces
sary in the new countries of America, to wit: Or-
ganization of Indian labor and negro civilization
and what might have been a fragrant abuse Of
monarchical power or influence in the effete,
worn.out monarchies Of old Europe. Had
proper distinction been made, America and
other foreign parts of the world would have
revolted, or earned the beneficial results of the
persevering labor and yer-fagging ardor OF the
Jesuit association. At this present day, no doubt
these efforts can and will, in great measure be re-
placed by other combinations, both of capital and
intelligence; and that to this effect our country
should regain more than ever before, the united
forces of modern society, will appear plain to the
simplest comprehension, when we reflect That no
such social revolution can be cited in all the
worlds history as the one which our country now
is undergoing. Indeed, we stand aghast when we
reflect upon the social transformation the gigantic
domestic upheaval, which we are witnessing at
this present moment in our very midst, and which
will leave undoubted traces of social revolution
behind, of which ous~chidren's children will only
be able properly to appreciate the mighty, all
pervading consequences.

Good Friday.

Good Friday, the Friday of Passion Week,
next before Easter Day, as to-day is, our
readers know to be commemorative Of the
Cruci6xion as Easter Sunday is of the Resurrec-
ton. 1t is one of the most solemn fasts of the
Christian Church-Protestant, Roman, Greek,
Abyssinian or other. 1t has different names in
different countries. In Holland and Germany it is
called "Mournful Friday )" in Sweden, Norway
and Denmark it is called Long Friday" in Bo-
hernia and Poland, "Great Friday;'' in Italy,
Spain, France and Portugal, Holy Friday" In
England it is one of two days, Christmas being the
other, on which all business is suspended. In this
country it is observed with not quite SO much
solemnity and in some parts with great deal
less. In New Orleans the churches will be more
crowded than they have even during the preced-
ing days, and the greater proportion of business
places will be closed, or at least, only nomnally
opened.
The ceremonies which have attended the cele
bration of the day have been very various, and in
many cases of impressive pomp. They are SC
still in Roman Catholic countries, such as Italy
Spain, Mexico, and the Spanish and Portuguese
American republics. Their great feature was the
| representation of the Passion, and of the body o
the Saviour, and the alteration of the latter. Gift

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE New PARTY IN
AMERICA.-!The London Times, after some obser
vations on the progress and result of the war pro-
ceeds to say:
The triumph of the North became the triumph
OF abolition. 1t has needed all the irmness and
good sense of Mr.. johnson to mitigate the conse-
quences of this triumph, and his attitude on the
negro suffrage question has, of course, increased
his unpopularty with the advanced Republicans.
This party, led in Congress by Mr.. Stevens, has
already come to an open breach with him, and the
President is carrying on the great work of restora
ton in the face of determined and unscrupulous
opposition. TIL result is the gradual development
OF new Administration party" pledged to stand
by the moderate policy Of Mr.. Johnson-a policy
which, carried out with great moral courage and
honesty of purpose, has won for him the respect
and sympathy Of this country. We have had little
experience Of civil war, and it is possible we may
mot have made allowance enough for its exigences
but we know something Of political, social, and
financial difficulties, and can appreciate that pro
cess of reconstruction which involves them oil or
the grandest scale and in the most complicated
| form. ada. ,.r
