REPUBLICAN MEETING AT WEST END. The
Republicans of Ward had a very interesting
and enthusiastic meeting at Harmon's Hall, on
Saturday evening, and were addressed by Hon.
j. H. Warwick of New York. George b. Buzz
zell, esq, presided. The speaker in opening,
succnctly reviewed the nature of the present
political contest, and sketched briefly the histo-
ny and patriotic achievements of the Republi-
can party since its organization, and defended
il from the three staple charges of its oppo-
nents-tyranny, extravaganza and dishonesty
of purpose. His narrative of Ku-Klux out
RACES in the South was thrilling and effective.
He discussed the claims and record of Mr.
Greeley in dignifed and gentlemanly manner,
to which the most sensitive Democrat could not
except. The meeting adjourned with cheers
for the Republican candidates and for the speak
er. The Portland Band furnished some good
music before and after the address,

JOE JEFFERSON. pleasure of Mr.. JEFF
ferson's coming to Portland will be diminished
by the unusual and excessive prices at which he
has put the tickets. We insist that they are ex-
tortionate and far beyond the worth of the per-
formance Mr.. Jefferson can easily command
patronage in larger cities at these prices, and
no doubt he will get good audience at City
Hall, but many who ought to be allowed to see
him and would gladly pay a fair price, will stay
away for this reason. The play cannot be put
on the stage in that hall in satisfactory man
ner. The idea of dwarfng Mr.. Jefferson's Rip
Van Wrinkle to the capacity of toy stage is
preposterous. With the strength of his full
company the play must become almost farce
without the machinery and appliances of le-
gitimate theatre. If Mr.. Jefferson would have
the piece popular in Portland he must make
the price of his tickets to correspond with the
diminished opportunity for proper presentation.
If he does else we think he will be disappoint-
ed when he looks over the house.

The Cattle Business OF Texas.

Among the noticeable changes made in
the cattle business, since the close OF the
late civil war, is its concentration IN fewer
hands. The smaller owners found their
stocks decreasing. and hence their profits
did not meet their expenses. They have
generally sold out. either to the larger pro-
prietors or to the tallow and hide dealers.
But few men now in the business have less
than 1000, branding about $50 calves.
The herds range as high rs 80 600, the
number of calves branded being from 20
to Is per cent Of that number. On these
large ranches are maintained from 1000
to 5000 horses, in order to supply the army
of raqweros with remounts. Large num-
bers of the cattle are killed for hides and
tallow. Some of these dealers sell to pur-
chasers on the spot, while others ship d.
rect to New Orleans or drive to Kansas.
Several leading stock raisers are mentioned
as wintering from 1000 to 5000 each On
the line of the Kansas Pacific Railroad.
The term stock cattle, in Texas, includes
cows, calves, yearlings, and tao year ODDS
A party selling 1,0a0 stock cattle would
furnish $50 of each of the above classes,
and charge uniform price for the whole.
The present price is IS per head in specie.
Three year old steers or four year Odds
generally bring from $40 to $l2 per head.
This class furnishes the staple of the Kan
sas trade. Four year olds. in good condi-
ton for shipment to New Orleans, bring
SIS per head. The term beeves is applied
only to animals four years old or upward.
In rood condition, they will net 50G pounds
of beef per head.

Opium Culture.

The San Jose Mercury notices cluster
of opium poppies growing in one OF the
gardens Of that city: The plants stand
about five feet high, and are thickly cap
ped with seed balls of. the size of an OrdI-
nary teacup Into these balls, while yet
green, transverse missions are made with
knife, from whence exudes white, milky
substance, which, upon exposure to the arr,
soon turns to dark brown color, and dry
ing, forms the pure opium Of commerce:
Frequent experiments have demonstrated
that the poppy will thrive in perfection in
our climate g Why may it not be turned to
profitable account? Opium is regarded as
one Of the most valuable of medicinal
drugs The species of poppy from which
it is usually obtained is known to botanisis
as Paparer Somni ferwm. II is cultivated
generally for the sake Of the opium in the
mountainous parts of Bengal, where the
poppy fields are described by DIR. Hooker
as resembling green lakes studded with
water-lllies. 1t is also extensively cultiva-
ted in many parts of India, in the Asiatic
provinces of Turkey in Egypt, and in Per
STA, although the chief opium district is a
large tract on the Gauges, 600 miles long
by 200 miles in width. II requires long.
dry summer, similar TO ours, to grow in per
lection. May we not class opium culture
among the probable industries of the future
of California; ' -
