From a High rairie Farmer.

Ma. EpiToH-Being Il farmer, I would beg TO
add my ideas TO those already expressed rs to
what farmers should do. All must certainly see
the folly OF raising corn, when il is too cheap to
pay for gathering. 10 say nothing about market
ing. II is attended with more hard labor than
any other crop that is raised in the West. If
farmers will turn their attention to grass, wheat
and hay. they will derive n greater return for
their labor. besides improving their land. BY
sub-oiling our land On Empire and High Praf-
ries. we can produce as fine clover and timothy
as can be raised in the Middle or southern States.
But We in Missouri are taking everything by the
wrong end We should waken 10 n sense of our
duty as iill-rs of the soil. and cultivate such crops
Rs pay. Hog and hominy are very cheap pro-
ducc, and hard To raise. Cattle and wheat arr
easily raised. and very pleasant To the taste ms
compared with the former. People have sc-in-
tnSly b-cume so hahitua,cd Ia hard living that
ftry scarcely know that there Is anything better
IN store for them. but We live In an age Of pro.
srrrs. am in favor OF reform, bur | don't wish

(to-wit: coats and drawers), travel

"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

Some time since VIC called atten-
ton TO the dangerous condition Of d
bridge at the corporation line of the

article, much annoyance has been oc-
casioncd to travellers going that way,
and at the last sitting of the Council
4 bill for damages was filed by a gen.

DALLAS, TEXAS WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2e 1873
Horace Greeley.

We do not know where we have read q
sadder story than that Of the last few
weeks Of MIR. Greeleys life. Less than d
year ago, he was controlling editor Of tn,
leading paper of the country. The Trib.
une created and moulded public opinion
Thousands of its readers did not know
what they thought until the Tribune
spoke, and the Tribune was Horace Gree
ley, Ills name was more familiar to the
American people than that Of any other
living man. He had everywhere warm
friends, and bitter enemies; but by his
friends and enemies, he was alike respec.
ted. His nomination for the Presidency
was received throughout the country, as
the harbnger fbetter times. What more
enviabla position was ever occupied by a
mani
In few weeks, all was changed. His
old friends, personal and political, desert.
cd him. The great party which he had
built up, cast him out. His character
was bitterly assailed. lie was lampooned
in caracitures. His overwhelming defeat
became apparent long before the election
Personal Affections assailed him. lie
passed anxious days and nights by the
bedside OF his dying wife, to whom he was
most tenderly attached. The strain was
too great, his sensitive organization gave
way his great intellect was paralyzed,
and he became as impotent, as the strong
man when smitien by the hand oil God
Carried TO private mad.house for treat
ment, he keenly felt his separation from
loving friends, whose tender care would
have sooihed his last hours.
1t is no reproach to Horace Greeley, II
casts no shadow upon his great name, thai
disease settled upon his brain but it is
painful to those who loved, who admired,
who respected him, that sickening details
of his great calamity have been brought
out in a judicial Investigation, and been
made the subject Of newspaper comment.
Over such things, the hand Of affection
seeks to draw the veil Of forgetfulness.
No one cares to parade before strangers,
the personal defects or Affections of those
with whom he sympathizes
Misfortune seems to have followed Mr..
Greeley to his grave. A few weeks be-
fore his death, he had executed his will !;
giving his property to his two daughters
by will executed some years ago, he had
made beqnest to some charitaL lie. i'm
sti.ution, which was omitted in his last
will. The probate of the will OF later
date, was resisted on the ground Of his in.
sanity. BY whom, or in what interest,
opposition to the probate of the will was
made, has not TRANSFERRED; but it seems TO
have originated in ZONE malignant mo-
tive. His daughters withdrew the last
will, content TO take diminished legacy
under the first wiki rather than that tssir
fathers memory should DO darkened by
these painful disclosures. But too much
had already been told enough to tea III us
that, with the purest gold is ming led the
base alloy that there is nothing perfect
and that.in every life is mingled much of
good and evil.--Brenham Bau.sr.

Speaker Blame.

Although young man and making no
pretentlons TO the God and morality school,
or Of the "unco good and rigidly righte-
ous' class, like ssnctimonious Pomeroy
and Oolfax, the damaging testimony Of
the Credit Mobilier investigation holds
him up in an honorable manner snd justly
vindicates his integrity.
During the late campaign when Q candi-
date for reelection for Congress, from h is
district in Maine, tho McComb- Ames
memorandum was sprung on Thin by his
opponents, aud there WAS silence in the
political armament for several days, for
others high in the Republican ranks were
implicated.
Speaker Blame, however, soon broke the
silence by his prompt and emphatic do.
NAL, and although others attempted to fol-
low him in this line Of defence, unfortu.
nately for their regulations they signal
" failed in establishing their record, and
were consequently humiliated by an expose
they could not prevent, while he alone,
Of all the throng, stood forth vindioated
and justified IA
Although Numerically opposed to Speak
or Blaine in politics, yet We are always
willing to give the Devil his dues--the
more 80 in this instance, since we have
understood that he was willing To do justice
to our section in his rulings from the
chair.
From those who knew Blaine in anti
bellum times, we have good report Of
his versatile talents, scholarly attainmonts
and genuine social qualities, while from
those who have met him since we learn
that he Is true friend to the West aud
South.
So then, il we are to have Republican
Speaker, for the coming session Of Con-
gress, we say, by all means, let II again
be Speaker Blaine.
