IT IS STATED that the Texas Leg
islature has just adopted a school
system in which compulsory educa-
ton is a prominent feature. A
term of schooling not less than
four months in each year is requir-
ed of call the scholastic popula-
ton" The school directors of the
several districts may separate the
blacks and whites, if in their judg-
ment ''the peace and success of the
school and the good of the whole
may require" or they may require
the attendance of blacks and whites
in the same school The expert
ment of compulsory education and
mixed schools will, therefore, be in
augurated in Texas.

1t is quite manifest, says the n.
7. Herald, that the prospect is good
for rafting summer trade. The
war in Europe has created wants
which Europe cannot supply. The
unsettled state of things in France
is certain to multiply largely the
number of French immigrants
The reports of the late peace de
monstrations in. New York have so
filed the German mind with the
New World across the seas, where
all their cousins are rich, that the
German immigration this year will
almost to a certainty be larger than
ever. Swedish immigration also
promises to be large. All things
considered, the coming summer is
fun of business promise.

WE clip the following from the
San Antonio (Texas) Daily Herald
of the 18th ult:-
We had the pleasure of a call yes
terday from DR.. j. F. GRANT. of
Nashville, General Agent of the
Nashville Life Insurance Company,
of Tennessee, one of the staunchest
and most reliable Companies in the
United States, and DR.. GRANT
comes to US endorsed as a worthy
representative of so eminent an in
stitution. In company with the
Doctor was Capt. DEWITT c.. BEN
NETT, General Agent for Western
Texas of the same excellent Com
pany. We take great pleasure in
commencing these gentlemen and
the Company they represent to the
favorable consideration of our citi-
zens.
Life insurance is a "big thing, 7"
and though our city is reasonably
supplied with facilities in that line,
there is no danger of too much
competition in that noble work
Under the light breaking in upon
the great subject of Life Insurance,
the day is by no means distant
when it will be difficult to find a
man who has not a policy of insur-
ance on his life, which in case of
death will be the means Of keeping
his otherwise helpless wife and dear
ones from suffering or hardship.

The young King of Spain is not
having very pleasant time of it,
1t is true that his soldiers who draw
their pay regularly cheer him coca
sionally in public, but the grandeos,
those stern and infiexible aristo-
Gratis of Spain, are not disposed to
bend their stiff figures before a sci
on of the house of Savoy and con
sequently refuse to show themselves
at Court. The King is, therefore,
forced to exhibit his royalty to his
generals and the foreign embassa-
doris.

The most wonderful case Of con

days since. A chap Of the Anony-

picked up q roll Of tobacco in the
street, of which he made six cigars,
and believes the Government is en-

The Situation at Bonnet CaPPe-An
Entire Village Destroyed.

The situation at Bonnet Care
Crevasse near New Orleans remains
unchanged. The width of the ere
vase is now variously estimated at
from ! 200 to 1900 feet, through
which the water is passing in angry
torrents, covering some of the most
valuable sugar plantations to the
depth OF ten or twelve feet In
some cases it reaches to the second
stories of houses, and completely
suhmergcs the cabins. The roar of
the water as it lashes against the
trees can be heard for miles. All
hopes of closing this vast break
have for the present been abandon
ed and the object now is to prevent
further destruction of property and
confine the waters to their present
limits. Houses have been deserted,
plantations abandoned, and, in one
instance, an entire village has been
desolated by the rapid spread Of
water, which extends back into the
country for ten miles. Dispatches
from above report the side streams
rising from the recent rains, which
causes. great CONSERVATION. Fears
arc entertained that several weak
points in the levee below the mouth
of the Red River will break. I'M
mediate steps to strengthen them
WILDE taken, Well informed plan

sugar crop will exceed 10000 hogs

MKsSpens Evenings.

The boys who spend an hour of each
evening lounging idly on a street corner,
waists, in the course of single year, 365
precious hours, which, if applied to study
would familiarize him with the rudiment,
at least, Of almost any of the familiar sci
ences. IF in addition to wasting an hour
each evening, he spends five cents for a
cigar, which is usually the case, the
amount thus more than wasted would pay
for four of the leading magazins of the
country. Boys, think of these things
Think how much precious time and good
money you are wasting, and for what
The qualification afforded by the lounge
on the corner, or by the cigar, is not only
temporary, but positively turtful. You
cannot indulge In these practices without
seriously injuring yourself. You acquire
idle and wasteful habits, which will cling
to you through life, and grow upon you
each succeeding year. You may in after
life shake them off, but the probabilities
are that the hab''s thus formed in early
life will remain With you till your dying
day. Be warned then in time, and re-
solve that as the hour spent In idleness is
gone, you will improve each passing one,
and thereby fit yourselves for usefulness
and happiness.

How to Keep a situation.
Lay it down as a foundation rule. Il

Lay it down as foundation rule, that
you will be faithful in that which is least.
Pick up the loose nails, bits of Irvine,
clean wrapping paper, and put them in
their places. Be ready to throw in an
odd half hour or hour time, when it will
be an accommodation, and don't seem to
make merit of it. Do it heartily.
Though not word be said, be sure your
employer will make note of it. Make
yourself indispensable to him, and he will
lose mang of the opposite kind before he
will part with you.
Those young men who watch the time
to see the very second their working hour
is up-who leave, no matter what state
the work may be in, at precisely the In
stant-who calculate the extra amount

Live for Something.

Thousands of men breath, move and
live; pass off the stage of life and are
heard of no more. Why ? They did not
particle of good in the world; and none
were blest by them, none could point to
them as the instrument of their redemp-
ton; not a line they wrote, not a word
they spoke, that could be recalled and so
they perished-their light went out in
darkness, and they were not remembered
more than the insects of yesterday. Will
you thus live and die, 0 man immortal +?
Live for something. Do good, and leave
behind you monument of virtue that
the storms of time can never destoy.
Write your name, by kindness, love and
mercy, on the hearts of the thousands
you come in contact with year by year.
And you will never be forgotten. No, our
name, your deeds, will be as legible on
the hearts you leave behind, as the stars
on the brow of evening. Good deeds will
shine as bright on the earth as the stars
of heaven.

A Touching Incident.

A recent sketch of the loves Of the
great lawyers contains the touching Incl
dent in the life of William Writ: In his
younger days he was the victim to that
passion for Intoxicating drings which has
been the bane Of so many distinguished
in the legal profession. .Affianced to a
beautiful and accomplished young woman
he had made and broken repeated pied
ges of amendment, and she, after patient
ly and kindly enduring his disgraceful
habit, had at length dismissed him, dee
ming him incorrigible. Their next meet
ing after his dismassal, was in public
street in Richmond. Writ lay drunk and
asleep on the sidewalk, on a hot summer
day, the rays of the sun pouring dawn on
his uncovered head, and the flies crawl
ing over his swollen features. AS the
young lady approached in her walk, her
attention was attracted by the spectacle
strange to her eyes, but, alas! so common
to others who knew the victim, as to at
tract little remark. She did not at first
recognize the sleeper, and was about to
hasten ON, when she was led by one of
those impulses which form the turning
points in human lives, to scrutinize his
features. What was her emotion when
she recognized in him her discarded lover
She drew forth her handkerchief and care
fully spread it over his face, and hurried
away. When Writ came to himself, he
found the handkerchief, and in one corner
the initials of the beloved name With
a heart almost breaking with grief and
He kept that vow, and he married the
owner of that handkerchief.
