and his address to the people of the
State. 1t IL complete and exhaustive
statement of his acts during his brief
with full statistical in
formation of the finances OF the state,
and Indian murders and r0bberics on
our frontier, and Is one of the most
valuable little books for the people of
Texas that we have seen in many n day.
The address to the people which IL en-
braccd in the appendix, is a plain
statement of facts, touching the re-
moval of the Governor, his corrcspon-
dence with the Military Department
at Washington on Texas affairs, and Is
n full and complete refutaton of the
charge made by General Sheridan in
his order of removal, that the Governor
was ian impeachment to the reconstruc-
tionn of the State "undcr the law"
This address was published in THE
HERALD at that time, and we wish
every citizen of Texas could read it,.

wrArilnnronp, Texas, Jul,

Through the kindness of our young
friend, Charlie Morriss, we had scat
in one of Captain Works best buggies
rendered US on Sunday morning, and
bright and early began our journey to
Richardson, a station on the northern
boundary line of Dallas county. We
found the roads excellent, and the
crops promising an abundant yield.
The wheat crop is oil garnered, and in
spite of the long wet spell which it en-
countered at the very time when it
needed sunshine, we were gratified
to learn that the yield was large, and
that no fears of starvation can be en-
tertained this year. We found large
and interesting protracted meeting 60
ing on under the supervision Of Rev.
DIR, Collier, President of Mansfield
College, on which o large number of
the citizens are in daily and nightly
attendance, and which promises to
yield Ina due season profitable and desi-
rable fruits TO Him who doeth all
things well.
We can not conclude without return
ing our thanks tn Captain Frank and
our old friend, Joel Lively, for kind
nesses extended to us.

MASONIC INSTITUTE ATLANCAST

We learn that Lancaster Lodge, No.
100, A. +. and A. NJ, at Lancaster, in
this county, propose establishing in
that place, Il Masonic Institute. The
plan proposed is to raise sufficient
means to erect the necessary buildings
by joint stock association; shares to
be $40 each. As soon az 81, 500 is sub
scribed Isl 200 of which is already
raiscd) the buildingwill be commenced.
A Board of Trustees, consisting of five
members, is to he selected by the lodge,
who will control and regulate the finan-
cial and other business matters of the
school. The object is to build up the
educational interests of the country,
and to that end the very best teachers
that can he procured will be employed.
The orphans of deceased Masons will
be taught free of charge, so far us the
capabilities of the institution will per-
nit, and the school will be entirely
nOn-scctarian.
We trust the enterprise will meet
that success which it deserves. Lam

Approved May 3, 1873:


Out on the plains, about two hun
dred miles from Denver, is vertical
bluff seventy-five feet high. A party
of hunters recently stampeded herd
of buffaloes right to the brink of the
precipice. The foremost brutes, APP
preciating their critical situation, at
tempted to avert the calamity, but the
frightened hundreds behind crowded
forward with characteristic persistency.
The front rank, with legs stretched to-
wards each cardinal point of the com
pass, beloved in concert and descend
ed, to their fate. Before the pressure
from behind could lie stopped, the next
rank and the next rank followed, imi-
tating the gesture and the believing of
the first. For thirty seconds II rained
buffaloes, and the white sand at the
foot of that bluff was incarnadine with
the life-blood of wild meat, and not un-
ill the tails of fifty or seventy-five of
that herd had waved adieu to this
wicked world did the movement cease.

scientific men. Well, the effect has been materially
TO increase the yielding and sustaining powers of that
land in summer. In fact, the effect of drains is to
deepen The soil and who will doubt that a deep soil
contains more moisture than a shallow one placed
upon an impervious clay ? Now surely [ may appeal
to every one who has seen a heavy rain fall on our
lands, that their subsoils are imperviOus, since the
surface is so soon saturated and tfooded-the cane
holes are filed with water, to be rapidly evapOrated,
instead of being laid up in the subsOil as a store for
the roots of the plants.
But some will say that these may be arguments for
deep tiIlage and subsoiling, but that I should do away
with the good proposed if make drains which should
let our water as fast as it descends from the clouds,
[ deny that drains would do any such thing, and l
think | can prove it to you thus ANY matter will
only hold a definite quantity of moisture according TO
the state in which it happens to be at the time. For
instance, ifa sponge is compressed it will only take
up a small quantity of water, but if it be allowed to
swell, in other words to become porous, it will take
up a great deal. To vary the illustratiOn,-fIl a linen
bag very tightly with sponge, then put it into a deep
tray or basin, pour water over it, and observe how
much water the sponge will take up. Ofcourse, aE
ter it is filled, the water that you continue to pour
over it will run away to waste. Now release the
sponge from It's confinement in the bag, and make
holes IN the bottom OF your tray then pour water
over the sponge again, and now you will find that it
will take up much more water, and retain 1T too,
though the Superfu0uS water will now run out through
the holes in the tray instead of filling the tray and
running over the top. The case IS Just the same
WITH the soil and the drains the latter carry off
through the former the water which it could not re-
tain, whilst there are these immense advantages in
addition-the soil is washed from delete rious matters,
and the. air Is admitted along with the water in wet
weather, 6yitsey in dry seasons in either case acting

IS always lower than it is near the surface the differ
ence amounting in some cases to $40 as between 86o
"!i6)o' Now, 1t IS APP jArent, that If by drainage and
j lFerIZatiOn, we render soil perVlOuS to air TO the
depth OF tonr feet, the warm air from the surface,
which will circulate through it, viii carry with it a
large amount Of moisture, which will be deposited
on the sides of the pores in the form Of dew, even
during the day, and the drer and the hotter the day
or season, the more certainly will this refreshing pro
cess be carried on IN the depths Of the soil, and the
more moisture will the roots be able to extract.
Another great advantage remains to be noticed, as
following the pulVerizltion of the soil, viz. the dimi-
process which must of course greatly injure the plants
and exposing others to the s~corching air.
The subject is of such incalculable importance, that
l cannot omit to adduce here the testimony of one Of
the best and most experienced of English agriculture
lists, and that the more readily, because | know how
apt we are to set lightly by the opinions of mere theo-
rlsls. Now, Mr.. Morton, from whose valuable work
on soils | am about 10 quote a few passages, is no
closet philosopher he is and has long been in prac-
tce as an griculturist-scientii indeed, yet practi-
cal, Indeed, [ may say that his writings are far more
valuable when they are purely practical than they are
when they are scientific of such we have abundance
on all sides. | cannot too strongly recommend all
who could be good planters to read his work, though
they must be prepared to fad that a large proportion
OF 1t IS not In any way applicable to our agriculture.
What is so-vIz. the general principles, and especially
those which relate to drainage and tillage-they will
find Invaluable. | might almost quote at random
from these parts; indeed, it is hard to make a selec-
ton where one sentence is hardly less valuable than
another. | shall begin with the sentence which is the
last I have marked -" Complete or perfect drainage

which the priests and bishops are the or
gans and interpreters, not the masters or
mediators. The Pope is sometimes useful
as a pivot, but never necessary. He de-
monstrated the inconsistency Of a Roman
theocracy, a theocracy being the govern
ment of God, not that of a man. He con-
cluded by a reference to Palm Sunday and
the meek royalty of Jesus. Rome and the
Pope, he said, must be converted in order
to become once more Catholics.-Ibid

to the body, has now dredged up a new
cIustacea, in which the body has cut itself
clear of the eyes altogether, and the animal
is totally blind. 1t has no eyes, or even
the trace of an eye. To make up for its
deficiency, nature has supplied it with the
most beautifully developed, delicate lady
like claws, if one may use the term, it is
possible to conceive. Nearer the West
Indies, in a depth Of only half a mile, some
similar creatures were broaght up, and here
the claws, longer than the body, are armed
throughout with a multitude Of spike-like
teeth, looking more like a crocodiIe's Jaw
than anything else. A few blind animals
have been found before in the dark caves
Kentucky and elsewhere, but these are to-
tally new. At a short distance from Ten
erif5, in a depth Of a mile and a half, a
rich and extremely interesting haul Of
sponges and coral was obtained, but the
latter was unfortunately dead. It is a
white species, as large and heavy as the
pink coral of the MEDITERRANEAN. There
are great hopes of obtaining a specimen
