u The newspapers Of Texas
say it is becoming difficult to
decide whether beef or cotton
hold supremacy in Texas. That
great State raises large quanti-
ties of both, and having been
been but little affected by the
war, continued to grow in pros
perity, while the rest of the
Southern States retrogaded.
Stock raising and expectation
of cotton make fortunes i'm q
short time for many Texans,
and it is said that the transpor-
tation of cattle is now one of
the most lucrative branches of
Southern trade. Northern YES
sells, unable to earn remunera-

a good paying business to carry
cattle from Texas to other por-

PAssIoN.-The torrent and
the blast can mar the loveliest
scenes in nature. War, with
his ruthless hand, may rival the
elements in their work of de-
struction; but it is passion
alone that can lay waste the
human heart. The whirIwind
and the flood have duration in
their existence, and have
bounds for their fury; the earth.
RECEIVERS from the devastation
of the conflict, with a fetility
that seems enriched by the
blood of its victims |; but there
are feelings that no human
agency can limit, and mental
wounds which are beyond the
art of man to heal.
