Texas Coal.

A friend has presented us with severa

Ii is The brown or Ignite. Several scien
tifc me have been making practical tests
with it, with the following results: The
engine which drew the train Of cars from
McDade to Austin, thriy-six miles, was
fred with the coal, and, though the fur
mace was made to burn wood, the coal gen

lady in Bastrop has been using it for
some time as fuel in her cooking stove, and
she states that il is preferable TO wood, as
there is less labor and dirt attending its
use, and in consequence of the uniformity
OF the heat The baking is perfect. She is
an experienced house Keeper
As ordinary fuel il has been used and
preferred 10 wood.
For making Illuminating gas, it is all
that could be desired, as the tests have
proven.
All the tests prove Tint II viii not an
swer for FORCES or smiths work.
The best coal beds. as yet discovered,
are on the lands of Messrs. Bryce and Ly
man, but it is believed that there are other
locations where the coal is Of equal guam
liiy. it will therefore be seen that for
fuel, for g, nsrating steam and gas, we have
near us a large supply of coal, which with
railway facilities, should be delivered in
Austin at cos Of not more than % 50 to
"a per ton. The West Central, the. Inter-
national and the Galveston and San Anto-
MO railways, passing near these coal beds,
will afford facilities for supplying large
section of country with cheap fuel, less
than that of wood. We expect to see, in a
short time, the towns along these roads
lit up, aud the igines on the several roads
supplied with fuel from these mines.
BY the by, the Legislature passed bill
Incorporating railway from the lnierna-
tional, crossing the Central at point

mines, and we call the attention Of the
corporators of the road to the fact-Aus-

Cheese Making I'm Texas.

From the Corsieana Observer
l came to Erath county directly
after the war AS was born and
raised in Jefferson county New York
ono of the best dairy counties in the
United States, my mind naturally
turned to that business in this coun
try. | became satisfied that the
natural graziers were MS good and
perhaps richer than in New York,
from The fine beef and rich milk
from the con- mon Texas COW
Therefore, in the Spring of 1859,
| concluded to try cheese making. |
engaged thirty five common Texas
range cows, and made rude presses
ard other apparatus, and commence
ed on the re rular New York plan.
| made about 1000 lbs that season,
and lost about 700 lbs. of that the,
balance sold at Fort Griffin tor IS
cents per pound.
/ found that the material was in
this country to make good cheese,
and was willing to try again g On
the first of January, 1870, Col. Buck
Barry, of Bosque county, hearing of
my efforts the previous year, kindly
offered to furnish cows, pasture,
ETC., and sent North for such APP
paratus as could not be had in this
country. We entered into an agreo-
ment for the season, and our appar-
atns arrived in April 1870. We milk
ed about 40 common range cows,
and made in all about 1000 lbs. of
cheese and lost about S00ibs Some
of the cheese had on exhibition at
Corsicana at the county Fair in
1870.
/ still believe the fault was not in
the climate, COWS grass, nor any
thing else, but in knowing how to
mar age the business in this untried
climate and country Therefore, in
the Winter of 1871, i kept up CORE
spondence with the best authorities
on the subject in the north sent on
for Bavarian prepared rennet, and
commenced in the Spring again at
the same place, and had the best
success, not losing ten pounds dur
ing the season. Some of the cheese
| sold in Corsicana, October last,
at 80 cents per pound the balance
on the frontier at twenty-five cents
per pound
A Texas COW will make about 100
lbs ofcheese with good cement,
besides raising her calf, the whey
properly fed to pigs will amount to
al least forty dollars per COW. AL
most any family can attend TO
twenty FIVE cows. and not binder
their farm work but a trifc |
would here state from the same
amount Of milk to make one
pound Of batter can make three

African Civil ixatiol,

The Courier Journal contains long
article on 1.-The Unesribing of Africa,
which exhibits less isdom than we bav,
found in many of the editorials Of thai
popular newspaper The man, who wrote
II, is az subject 10 DO humbugged by Dr.
Livingstone and to become nm admirer Of
Harriet Deecher Stowe. The latter told us
in her preface to Uncle Toms Cabin, tia
the earliest vilization came from Africa
leaving ignorant people to infer hat il
come from the negroes, and not from the
Egyptians, n rnee ofpeople entirely diff
ferent and distinct. The idea, thai, from
the expedition OF Sir Samuel Baker aidsl
by the military force of the Khe live Of
Egypt, q great civilization will spring up
in the center of Africa, and that rail
road will soon be constructed from Cairo
to the Cape Of Good Hope, must be red 10
u.ous TO all who have any knowledge OF
the history Of Africa and of the negro race
The statement that the African is an
improbable race, except in state oil
slavery, is not warran,able, aud we are
surprised to see it in the Courier Journal
The experience of the ward is against
this, AMI contradicis il fatty. The negro
in Africa is the same now that he was in
the days when the Pyramids we're built
no better aud no worss, rs far as is known.
Left to himself, he will not improve, ;and
from his very nature, is incapable of adj
vancement. Africa m. y become civilized
when IL is Inhabited by differant race OF
people, not before, AMI the spcculaiions Of
the Courier Journal on this point are all
humbng. The usual editor Of this paper
mist have been sick, aud the article in
question written by Yankee preacher
II is longer and has less sense in il thsn
any we have before observed in that ia.
voriIe paper which we usually rehd with
great interest. We shall next expect TO
hear Of an expedition sent out by the Con-
rier-Journal 10 fni Livingston. This is
worse than the whisky corner
