somehow he didn't get breakfast till . o.

cattle and hogs ate up rs fine n forty acre

he is now joining in the universal howl of
"hard times"
You know, Swindells, never did believe
in hard times, and though have been Ian
ded upon strange shores, thousands of miles
from home and friends, without money or
letters, and though have lived months ard
years in this same Texas, without ever see
ing dollar that could call my own, and
though have worked hard all my life
still | never experienced the "hard times
that so disgust the ear, as the word is NUT
tered and groaned and howlcd and whined !
through the whole range of the fiat and
melancholy gamut, by the good ior-nothing |
vngabonds all over this state, who are
breathing the air, wearing the clothes and !
deyouring the food that should be used TO |
nourish better men.
Hard times forsooth, with a million of |
dollars worth of horns scattered over the
prairies Of Texas to be had for the gather
ing! Hard times, and moss enough upon |
the limbs Of the post oak trees to bring in
more money than six cotton crops like that
of the present year! Hard times, and all
Texas uses starch made in New York and
New Hampshire; out of corn, wheat or pc.
tatocs Hard times, and we buy every thing
we use! Hard times in country where
toma toes, peas, beans, etc, can b, gathered
nine months in the year, and nobody has
enterprise enough to preserve them and
make an article of commerce! Hard times,
and we poison ourselves with Boston pic
kles, when we can make them better and
cheaper at home Hard times, with our
forests, our prairies and mountains, our
rivers, our valleys, all teeming with raw
material that needs but the hand of enter
prise to be turned into sources Of abundant
wealth. Hard times! yes, and well the
times may be SO, and thoy will continue 10
be SO till we get a new and mos industri-
Gus race of men among us.
n You will observe | am down on cotton
raising. | am equally down on all dcpen-
dence upon the negro for labor. Indeed to
get the darkey out Of the fields, | am almost
willing to make politicians of the whole
race and set them by the ears. They bid
fair to extermnate themselves in that way
sooner than they will staive in the natural
way If into the melee there could be
thrust the irothing- mouhed politicians of
the white persuasion, it would be all the bet
Ter.
Plague take the the niger | wish they
we're all in Africa, and these ranters all
here with thcm.--I take it back
There are some decent niggers, and am
wiling they should stay. There arc also
some ranters who are capable of better
hings, and | hope hard times will bring
hem down to brass tacks," and give them {
chance to take a new shute. May be
hey will come out into more useful pur- &
ults.
Speaking of norns, hides and cotton, | {
IN reminded to say that Texas sugar is
gain becoming heavy production. Bra
oria county this year makes 5000 hhds,
nd next year will he planted for G,000.-
Is this sugar will, to considerable ex-
ent, be consumed in Texas, this is a good
hing. At 10 cents sugar is very pro6ta-
lie crop. | have seen it sold by the crop
