LIFE II TEXAS.

Kuklux arc Doing.

\ gentleman in this city has received a
letter from a friend in Texas. enclosing the
following account, published in the Jetter-
son (TeXas) Radical, last month, which
shows what it costs to favor the education
OF negroes in that State:
- have just returned from bad voy-
age with teams to Titus county, where 1
had been for lumber for a schOol-house for
the colored people of my section. While
at TempletOn's Mill, in Titus county, 1
slept in a vacant house some distance from
my team, and i'll the midnight as ava
kened by the yells of a mob, who called
ioP me to come out or be killed. Thinking
that nothing but instant flight would save
me, L fled without my boots, and raveled
in the rain all that night and the ext day
barefoo.ed and thinly clad
Now that l am 1t home, my legs are
swollen up terribly, but am in hopes will
soon get well. You have no idea how l
have suffered.
II was born i'll East Tennessee; my
father was an old Revolutionary soldier.
I have ever tried to make a good citizen
wherever | have lived, and as peaceable
and law abiding man have ever supported
the flag of my fathers and then to receive
such treatment as this because / am Ra-
dical, is bad case.
II hope Republican friends in Eastern
Texas will avoid this mill where men are
IN danger of being murdered for their
principles and that oil men favorable TO
law and order will aid me in furnishing
The guilty before the courts.

EMIGRATION BETWEEN BARBA-
DOS AND DEMERARA.

The WeSt Indian calculates that an emf
grafton from Barbados to Domerara is 60
ing on at the rate of 1000 per month. The
calculation is, perhaps, rather a high one,
but there is no doubt that the hard times
in Barbados, in other words, the scarcity
of money aud the difficulty of obtaining
such common necessaries of life as wood
and water, are causing large numbers of
our labourers to leave their native isle in
the hope of finding an easier livelihood in
the neighbouring colony of Demerara, and
elsewhere. AS regards the actual number
leaving the country we have no means OF
ascertaining it exactly, but even if it were
as high as estimated by our contemporary,
there would be no reason for giving it q
moments consideration, were it not that
there is good ground for believing that a
very large proportion ofthe emigrants leave
behind them those whom they are morally
bound to support. Instances occur in
which even married men run Oft to Deme-
rara and Surinam and leave their wives;
but these are comparatively rare, the great
evil of the emigration being the abandon

JAMAICA.

On the 10th instant, shortly after the
"Elbe' left this port for st. Thomas and
Plymouth, the weather appeared threaten
ing to the Southeast, and there was every
appearance of rain but towards afternoon,
we received information from st. Thomas
and the Windward Islands that there had
been q heavy blowing there on the 9th,
and even on the 10th it had not subsidized,
but there were strong Indications of an APP
preaching hurricane. Later kilograms from
Martinique and Dominica informed us Of
the severity of the storm, and of the loss
of q number of vessels which had been
either driven ashore or dashed against the
wharves or shipping by the wind-fortu-
nately jamaica was spared and our sister
colonies did not sustain more injury than
was reported.
These periodical blowings in the West
Indies have induced the United States Gov
eminent to establish storm stations, and
one is to be located at Myrtle Bank in this
city, for the purpose Of recording and trans
hitting meteorological observations three
times a day to Washington, where the
weather influences will be calculated and
reported for general information, under the
control of the U. States War Department.
The several Agents of the New York AS
ISOLATED Press have been entrusted with
the local superintendence Of the stations.
The Government in furtherance of the
Rio Cobre Canal Works which are to irri-

which is to be q guaranteed investment at
this rate for at least fifteen years. On this
work Mr.. Hutchings, an eminent Indian
engineer, is employed.
The Kingston Water Commissioners are
prosecuting vigorously their work under
Mr., Farrar, who hopes to supply Kingston
with an abundance of water, not only for
domestic and sanitary purposes but sufi-
oient for the suppression of city fires. Mr..
Stephens has arrived from England in the
packet to superintend the laying of the
commissioners pipes in the several streets
through which the water supply is to pass,
he having accepted a contract with the
Government for the efficient performance
of this part of the service.
The prosperity of CooIie Immigrants
who manifest provident habits during their
term of indenture has been demonstrated
by two or three of them having together
collected six hundred pounds and purchased

Hanover, which they are about to put in
cultivation.

BARBADOS.
The island, which has been suffering ex-

has at last been visited with heavy showers.
Such a protracted drought has not been ex
perienced in Barbados for over rs years.
On the 9th, 10th, and 18th inst. a severe
gale blew with telling effect upon the ship
ping. Two American vessels, the cana

4th September. They took with the in
gold which they had saved over 10000

THE BAHAMAS.
A correspondent Of the "NeWtOn Jour
nal" says Jamaica is the best locality in the
Western Hemisphere for invalid tourists in
the winter months. Those, Che says) who
have nearly died of ennui at Nassau or Ber-
muda, or been frightened to death IN Cuba,
or bitten by mosquitoes and frozen in Flo

none of these fatalities await the trusting
tourist. We are certain (he cnntinues) if
we come once, to be haunted ever after by

500 coIonists have left Nassau within the

Southern States Of America.
Half a million tins Of preserved pine APP

been named Military Commander in Chief
of the two departments Eastern and Cen
traD. He left St. Jago in a Spanish vessel
of war for an inspection at Guantanamo,
Gibara, and Nuevitas, &c. The selection
of this General is considered an excellent
move in consequence Of his great rectitude.
He is active and a good discipIinarian and
commands confidence and respect wher-
ever he goes. A better choice could not
have been made General Adolfo Morales
remains acting Governor in the absence Of
General Rpguelone.
PORTO CABELLO.
The American steamer " Virginius" ran
out ofPorco CobtlIo harbour on the 9TH
inst. while two spanish vessels of war were
watching her. The President Of Venezne-
la ordered $50 soldiers into the port and
sent a message to the Spanish Comman-
ders that if either of the Spanish vessels
fired on the " VirginiuS " while she car
ried American colours in Venezuelan wa
tiers he would fire into them. The " Vir-
glnlns" then ran out with her whistle
blowing defiance to her %jailors. Her des-
tlnatlon is not known and the SpanIards
could not oyertake her.

The storm on the 10th did an enormous
amount of mischief. The schooner " Rein
deer" was dashed to pieces, with several
other small craft, and there was a conside-
rabIe loss Of life. The waves, mountain
high, overleaped the wharves, while the
shrieking sailors grouped along the shore,
anxious but helpless in afording assistance
to the distressed.

Then seeing the eyes of Fred fixed
on her. in undisguised admiration,
she blushed.
Mrs, Stainely came in, and Fred
formally introduced himself. The
three were at home together from
that moment. They talked of the

of music. Fred begged for the

WHY.-Why are some things of
one color and some of another As
every ray of light is composed of all
the colors of the rainbow, some things
reflect one of these colors and some
another
Why do some things reflect. one
color and some another? Because the
surface is differently constructed. both
physically and chemically, and there
fore some things reflect one raw. some
two rays and some none.
Why is the rose red? Because the
surface of the rose absorbs the blue
and yellow rays of light, and reflects
only the red ones.
Why is the violet blue? Because
the surface of the violet absorbs the
red and yellow rays of the sun and re-
fleets the blue only.
Why are some things blacks Be
eause they absorb all the RAYS of the
light and reflect none.
Why are some things white? Be
cause they absorb none of the rays of
light, but reflect all.
What is the cause of wind? The
sun heats the earth, the earth heats
the air resting upon it; as the warm
air ascends the void is filed up with
a rush of cold air TO the place, and
tins rush of air we call wind.
