RIcHARpsoN, DALLAS Co., April IA, 1873.
To the Edit"r Of the Dallas Herald:
| am rot alone, sir, in the wish to see
discussion arise among the people, on the
subject of roads and lanes. 1t is an i'm
portaut matter, and is now deserving the
serious consideration Of the people. The
country is rapidly settling up with farm.
ers; every man that can afford means to
do it is encircling all his lands with
shanghai fences and the all-pervading
idea seoms to be to fence every foot of land
possible, to the almost total neglect of
roads and pass ways. Let this condition
of things continue much longer, and it
will be a matter of impossibiity for "a
man to pass the black waxy lands in
muddy weather In those cases where
lanes are made they are too narrow for
use in muddy times, and may as well not
be at all, as to be as they are. The trou.
BILE is there arc not lanes enough, and
what little they have, nre too narrow.
The remedy l propose is to compel tho
opening of all section lines to a reasona.
BILE and practicable width. Can this not
be done ? and many others would like
to know, and if it can, b. whom is it to be
done? Please answer these two last que
ries, and make such other remarks as you
please, as we are anxious to see the roads
opened, and safe and certain Passways
secured through the waxey lands. Moth
ing will hasten il sooner than public dis
cussion, and invite it from you and all
others friendly to the cnuse of the public.
Richardson is soon to be depot on the
II. & T. C. r. r.. near old Breckinridge, in
this county, and is situated in the centre
of the richest and most hourishing neigh
borhood in Northern Texas.
The farmers are generally indepen-
dent, good livcrs, ani are unanimously
aw-abiding and Christian people. So
ciety is Of the best character, and local
disputes and disturbances are never heard
Of. The settlers are generally from Mis-.
souri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginin,
and the Southern States.
At Richardson there will be a consid-
! cradle business done, and not long after
the depot is established, you will hear of
a aourishing little village in North Dali
las county, equal TO Lancaster in the
southern portion.
Wheat look, we'll. The ost crop is not ss
much damaged in this vicinity as report
says IL 10 in other parts. A large cotton
crop will be planted. Corn is doing we'll
now, and fair crop is anticipated.
Respectfully yours,
| RICHARDSON,

country and the population, warrants the
conclusion that the absorption Of slaves in
Egypt is enormous.
There are no open markets in Carlo,
such as the mart At Zanzibar, for tho sale
of slaves; but am informed by natives
that private cs adjustments for the pur-
pose abound inlthe native towns, where an
Egyptian can buy slaves without any diff
fceulty whatever. Such is also the case
in every town in the interior, where tho
trailir is more open. There are two
races of slaves sold in Egypt the white
and the black. The former, imported
from Turkey, arc highly priced, and are
bongh, only by til. rich. They are gem
orally made ooncubnes. OF course the
young and good. locking girls fetch high
prices, amounting in some cases to
thousands of pounds. Before being sold
they are usually taught certain accom-
plishments valued by Turkish and Egyp-
tian voluptuares, such rs singing, in
some cases music, and Invariably the gait
and behavior Off high-class lady. AS is
the case with women in these countries,
the charms Of these girls fade at an age
which in cold climates is considered
young; and they have to mako room in
he harsm for fresh victims.

Effect of AdvcrtisiMg.

An editor in Reading advertised the
other day that he "would take good dog
in payment for one years subscription"
for his paper. The next day forty three
dogs were sent to the office. The day af-
terwnrd, when the news had spread out
into tho country, four hundred farmers
had sent two dogs apiece by express,
with eight baskets full of puppies, all
marked c. o. b. In the mean time the
Offer found its way into neighboring Sta
ties, and before the end Of the week there
were eight thousand dogs, tied up with
ropes, in the editors front and back yards
The assortment included all the kinds
from bloodhounds down to poodles. A few
hundred broke loose and swarmed on the
stairways and in the entries, and stood
outside the ssnctum and howled, and had
fights, and shifted under the crack of the
door as if they were hungry for some edi-
tor. And the editor climbed out the win
dow, up the waterspout and out of the
roof, and wept. There was no issue Of the
paper for six days, and the only way the
friends of the eminent journalist could
feed him was by sending him lunch up 10
him in balloons. At last somebody bought
barrel of arsenic an three tons Of beef,
and poisoned the dogs and the edito,
came down only to ind on his desk n bill
from the mayor for eight thousand dollars,
being the municipal tax on dogs at one
dollar per head. lie is not Offering the
same inducements to subscribers now, and
he doesn't want to buy a dog.--MaG Adeler.

whilst NO DO not impugn The motives,
question the fidelity to principle, or doubt
the sincere desire to promote the interests
of the whole State, Of any Of the Demo-
cratic members of the present Legislature,
we must express our great surprise, ana
most heartfelt disappointment at the
course taken by some of the lending Dem.
ocrats upon the most important questions
which come before that honorable body.
In vain have We looked for q satisfactory
explanation of their conduct. Is il from
lack OF sound craftsmanship with legis-
lative incapacity, or has an over anxiety
to free our State and relieve our people
from the wrongs and expressions of Rad.
ical rule and 9 morbid desire for "re-
trepchuent and reform2' over. leaped thei,
better judgements2 Having heretofore
entertained SO high an opinion Of ths
ability and wisdom, and having hal the
fullest Conscience in the integrity and
sound Democratic principles Of the gen
tlemen to whom We refer, we will, iu all
charity, attribute their action to the lat
ter, though most unfortunate, cause.
Whatever mny have been the motives
which have sctuated, or the causes which
have induced their course Of conduct, We
are constrained, as out-spokes journalists,
to s.y, though with regret and humilia-
tion, that they have shown themselves un-
equal to the labors they have assumed,
aud unit to be the representatives or
standard bearers of the Democratic party,
whose high hopes in them they have
blasted.
While We have decried against, in the
most bitter terms, the extravagance, cor
ruption, bad legislation and ruinous ad.
ministration of the Radical party, aud
have labored With eur utmost zeal to rem
edy the evils they Unlisted upon us, we

The Natural Bridge.

1t is feared that the Natural
Bridge in Virginia will be destroy
cd A gentleman passing over it
recently was startled by the ap-
pearance of volumes of deep black
smoke and jets of flame rolling out
from beneath its massive arch.
There was a strong smell of sui
phur, and the ground was warm
and steaming for some distance
around. Tho people in the neigh
borhood were greatly alarmed, be-
l,cving thata volcanic eruption was
about to take place; but Prof.
Campbell, of Lee University, on
being appriscd of the facts, soon
supplied a more satisfactory expla-
nation of tho phenomenon. The
bridge, it seems, is composed of
mountain limestone containing
large assures filled with grahamite,
kind of bituminous coal or asphal
tum. At some distance above high
water mark are sulphurous depos-
its and metallic oxides in minute
quantities. The action of sulphur
on metallic oxides in the presence
of water will generate heat to a de-
gree sufficient to ignite mass as
combustible as grahamite. The
thawing of the snow in Cedar creek
supplied the water necessary for
such action as has been described,
and so the combustion is fully ac-
counted for. The Natural Bridge
is one of the most celebrated natur-
al curiosities in this country, and
it is to be hoped that the injury
ioro ID by tins singular chemical
process viii not prov, SO serious a.
60 result IN its complete destruc-
ion.-N. Y. Sun.

is it not strange that cor tractors

A warm suggestion is suggested
