Miss Hoyson is deseryedly great fayorite,
She is not only remarkably pretty wo-

voice, andsis a musician of excellent cult

best known to the stage.
Mr. Drayton and Mrs. Seguin are also
very good, Mrs Seguin in particular; but

worse singer. Mr. Bowler does very fairly
in concert, but is out Of his element on the

tinue on indefinitely.

The Houston Union says
The present corn crop of Texas will be
the largest ever known in the State. A
GOOD crop would have been made without
the recent and general heavy rain; but this
slater rain" coming, as it did, at the mo,
ment when the young roasting ears were
filling up, will make the corn crop Of the
present year simply immense. This will be
a great blessing to the State. 1t will simply
be an advertisement throughout the world
that all immigrants will find cheap food in
Texas during the coming fall, winter and
spring. This will cause an immense immi-
grafton to the State between now and next
spring. Not only will the immigrants find
cheap food, but the influx of immigration
will give the farmers and laborers of the
State remuneratiye home market for all
that their labor has produced. Thus, both
the present producing lab0rers and the
immigrant labOrers will be vastly benefited
by the large food crops with which PrOvi-
dence has blessed the State.
The large corn crop always produces
large hog crop, 50 that meat will be plentiful
and cheap, as well as bread, especially when
we remember that our beet is abundant,
fat and juicy, without the expense of feed
ing with corn or other prOvender. The
whole result will be that the wealth of
Texas will be vastly increased by this
years food crop, to say nothing of the large
amounts of money brought into the State
annually by our cotton, our wool and our
hides But the highest consolation of all
this matter, to generous and philanthrOpic
minds, is the fact that our State furnishes
large reward to the toll and sweat of the
labOring masses-which is one of the ulti-
mate objects of Christian civilization.

The Worst Case Yet.
This special dispatch is from the St. Loui

This special dispatch is from the St. Louis
Republican:
WASHINGTON, D. c., June l2.-An eN
tremely bad case of Presidential nepotism
has broken out in Kansas, and from the
circumstances alleged, it is one of the worst
that has been developed since the Grant
family put on the robes of royalty. Some
time ago Charles II. Hayden was indicted
at Topeka, Kansas, for rObbing the mails,
The evidence against the criminal is said to
have been ample, and the case was to have
come ON in the winter term of the United
States court; but the tie of consanguinity
was established to the Presidents satistac-
ton, when the latter ordered Attorney
General Alderman to direct the District At
torney at Topeka to discontinue the case
upon restitution of the amount stolen by the
criminal. The following correspondence
will further explain the character of this
transaction:
DEPARTMENT OF JUsTICE,
Washington, D. c., December Is 1871.
Albert Fl. Horton, United States Attorney AtchI
son, Kansas:
SIR-In pursuance of the request of the
Postmaster General, copy of whose letter
is herewith transmitted, and of the direc
tiOn of the President therein expressed,
you will consent to the release of Charles
H. Hayden, indicted in your district for

of the conditions expressed in said letter

Changing the burden of his song, he

"could open their purblind eyes and see
into the future, they would cease to lament
and groan over their imaginary wrongs,

The st. Louis Republican closes an edi.
torial article about Louisiana in this man
ner:
The plain duty of the Democrats of Lou
isiana is a hard one, we must admit, but
it is, after all, only similar to the one which
the Democracy of the whole country are
preparing to perform-overthrow the Radi-
cal party by the election of Republican
to the Presidency. 1t is not as easy to vote
for Warmoth as it is to vote for Horace
Greeley, we admit but it may be the true
and only solution of the problem in Louis
lana, and to vote for both of them. We
trust that the Democrats of that State will
not separate from their brethren in the
other States by making themselves allies of
the man whom their brethren III the other
States are making every effort and sacrifice
defeat. We hope they will not do an act
that will secure the vote of their State to
Grant OF one thing they may be sure
the election of Greeley and Warmoth will
be immeasurably better for them than the
election of Grant, a Democratic Governor
and negro legislature.

with politics, and politics,
The eity's in pretty tx
The men they wrangle, puff and pant,
The streets they tramp, the elubs they haun
They scarcely sleep, they hardly eat
They roar, they rant, they toast, they treat
Till we, poor women, wish, provoked,
That Grant and Greeley both were choked.
'Tis "tarifr here, convention" there,
and not one single word we hear
But all such silly Trash as that
In love with Greeley's old white hat.
Or with that other fellow, Grant;
No ether name they'll toast or chant
In vain we Girt, or smile. or bow,
'Tis Grant or Greeley rules them now.
Our very beaux they cease to smile
Except upon--a Greeley tile;
And Dolly Varden's out Of tune
Beside the "Greeley pantaloon."

That Greeley would a scare-crow scare
That we poor women fret and frown-
That all the town il upside down
That all the men are lunatics--

the disease broke out Mr.. Garrett. the oyer
