ture is the body guilty Of this act,
but it is reduced to acertainty that
there can not be found a Gov.
ernor, so indifferent to the pro.
lection of his hair, as to induce
him to veto the bill. It's urged
as an excuse for this peculiar
piece of insanity on the part of
the members Of the Legislature Of
this far away territory that there
is q horrible scarcity of females
in that locality. This IS the bait
which they have thrown out to at
tract female immigration. From
our knowledge Of the females in.

great boon Of suffrage, we are in
clined to think that the bill will
not be apt TO add much to the
population Of that distant land.

ton of the present resident pop.

pottery is Of several kinds. Large

as much as twenty gallons, are
most common. They contained

A lady and gentleman arc now living
in Philadelphia who were engaged to
be married over 80 years ago, and who
are still anxiously waiting the day when
they shall be made one. In 1910 they
had been engaged for some time but

dependent upon them for support
The two mothers refused to live to-
gether, and their children would moi
leave them, but decided to postpone
their marriage until one or the Other
should die. Both mothers ale still liv

Address from the Agent of the
Cubans.

SuDbhSs
New YORK, April 12.-Senor Vail
enta. agent of the Cuban revolutionists
has issued an address to the American
people. After reciting the grievances
long endured by the Cubans under the
civil and military tyranny of Spain, and
their previous disastrous attempts to
throw of the yoke he says: The revo-
luton has steadily grown promising to
realize all the hopes Of the patriots.
The Cuban lberating army is steadily
increasing, aud now comprise, $4,000
men. Their lines run in westerly di-
reetion to Sangua Ia Grande, without
reaching the sea-board either north or
south. or the necessary armament to
hold it, but the territory pointed out
is nearly two-thirds of Cuba, in which
slavery has been abolished. In the
of the Island no uprising
has occurred for want of arms. The
address concludes: Scuba has fairly
started on her way to national indie
pendence, Her sons fighting for it
these six months, without violation TO
your neutrality laws, are entitled to
the earnest sympathy Of your people,
and the more so as their struggle in
wolves the American principle that no
European power shall control any

in May. We hope the people Of the
county will take due interest in this
matter. They are earnestly requested
to meet at the Courthouse on that day
and re-organize. The timcis not long
now for making the necessary prepara-
tions for the usual fall exhibition.
Grounds must be procured, and appro-
pirate buildings erected, ETC., which
will require the expenditure of some
money; and, with liberal minded farm
ers and mechanics, this will not prevent
aprompt attendance. 1t is their insti-
tution, and to them the enterprise must
look fol its support. We would be
much mortified to witness q meagre
attendance on the occasion, or q stinted
subscription to cause so repunera-
tive to them. Let every farmer attend

OF the planting interests, the Calves
ton News of April 10, says:

we have had a backward spring, the
prospect is fatterng for good crops,
throughout the State of cotton corn
and wheat.
The Corpus Christi Advertiser has
been shown one of the coins lately
picked up on the beach of Padre
Island by Mr.. Curry. On the LIST of
March, Mr.. G. picked up about fifty
Spanish silver coins--two and three
bit pieces strewn along Padre beach
for three miles. Sheet lead also, was
found in considerable quantity, which
gives rise to an opinion that the money
had been in boxes lined with sheet
lead. The coins were issued in the
reign of Carolus ", between the years
l7SS and 1908. They are quite worn
and blackened.
The same paper is told by one who
is perfectly familiar with the route,
thatt is thirty-Hve or forty-fve miles
nearer to Fort Clark from Corpus
Christi, than from Indianola. The route
is up the Nueces, to old Casa Blanco :
thence across to Howland's Wells =;
thence to Callaghans Rancho Ries ;
thence TO Ricos; thence to Garlic ;
Chacon. and to Fort Clark. The road
is high, water and grass abundant all
along the route.

this wheel applied to our small water
