The President of Texas.

General Sam Houston, United States Senator from Texas, was physically a magnificent specimen of manhood. His dress was extravagantly oabtre, sugges- tive of both the frontiers-man and the Indian. He possessed great mind and a great heart, and his many peculiari- ties were harmless and endearing rather than repulsive. His courtesy to women was remarkable, and he never addressed one otherwise than as lady. Coed morning, lady," was his invariable salu- tation to any fair friend whom he met at the breakfast table or elsewhere dur ing the earlier hours of the day. He re- sided at Willard's when in Washing ton, and although his room was replete with the appliances of civilized life, he discarded, or, pretended to discard, the use of many of them. Buffalo robes were spread upon the carpet, and upon these he slept in preference to using the bed. He had printed poster upon the wall bearing the words, "My houl for retiring is nine o'clock" This was silent monition to visitors to with. draw when that hour arrived. But il was the popular belief that the restless old warrior was in the habit almost nightly of pacing the floor until the small hours of the morning before he sought repose upon his extemporized couch of skins.

All About Cranberries.

The Philadelphia Enquirer says : Shipping cranberries from the New Jersey swamps has commenced. The history of the rise of what is now a productive industry, is somewhat curi- ous. Some years ago New Jersey pos sessed fifteen thousand acres of worth less swamp lands, situated in Ocean, Atlantic, and Burlington Counties. The first person who attempted to grow the cranberry on these swamps and peat bogs met with great difficulties, but finally overcame them and made his fortune. Since then, this formerly worthless land has become among the most valuable in the State. The berries are picked from the 20th of September to the 1st of October, when they com mence to reach the market. To the stranger the sight of one of these great cranberry beds, as they appear on the surface, is of little interest, as only a few berries show on the top, and no idea can be formed of the wealth beneath. Stepping on one of the beds, however, and treading as carefully as we may, is like walking on torpedoes, as the berries snap at every step. Once on the beds, let the visitor kneel and part the matted vines with his hands, and the astonishing yield of one of these well-ordered plantations may then be seen it cannot be estimated, so prolific does it appear, and so wonder f11
