DALLAS ANn WICHITA RAILROAD,

We We're much pleased to meet Colo
mel Welch, of Denton, ON yesterday,
and hear his views in regard to the
great advantages that will cnsue both
to Dallas and Denton from the compile
ton of the above-named road to the
latter place. Colonel Welch is thor
oughly informed us to the necessities
of the section of country in which he
lives, and also Us to the feeling of the
people of Denton county in reference
to railroad connection with Dallas.
That feeling is earnest and unanimous
in favor of etlecting the connection by
building the Dallas and Wichita road
at as an early day rs possible, and if
Dallas will carry the road to the county
line, Denton will take it up promptly
and carry it ON. The people of Denton
look in this direction us their natural
outlet, and though they are promiseda
railroad by the Texas and Pacific road
passing through the county en- route
from Sherman to Fort Worth, still,
they attach comparatively little i'm
portance to that rs compared with di-
rect connection with this city. This
feeling ought TO be encouraged and CO.
operated with by the people of both
the city and county of Dallas; for,
whatever the advantages of the road
may be to Denton, they will undoubt-
eddy be tenfold greater to this city.
The completion of this rood would Sc
cure to the city of Dallas, beyond per-
adventure, the business and trade of
that rich tier Of counties lying west of
Grayson and Collin counties and north
Of the Brazos river. The profits from
this trade in five years would more
than pay the entire cost of the rood.
In Denton and other counties along
the projected line of the Dallas and
Wichita road are immense tracts of
prairie lands that are rich as any lands
the sun ever shone on, but which are
valueless now for agricultural pur-
poses on account of the remoteness of
TIMBER and the impracticability of
hauling lumber to so great distance
for fencing purposes. Complete this
road, and it will be then practicable to
get fencing lumber there at cost that
would warrant farmers in reducing
these lands to cultivation. And, at
the same time, IL would give an almost
inconceivable impetus to the lumber
trade of Dallas. We cite this as only
one of the hundred reciprocal benefits
that would flow to Dallas, Denton and
other points along the line from the
construction of the road.
Impressed as we. are with the vital
Importance of this enterprise to the
permanent prosperity of Dallas, we
cannot refrain from thinkingthat there
Is an undue apathy, in regard to its
success on the part of many of the
business men of the city.
IL must be clear to any rejecting
man that as the Texas and Pacific rail-

The New Ri6e-ImprOved Artillery.
From the Journal de Paris.
| Orders are said to have been given to
proceed Immediately with the manufac.
ture of the new musket, model 1874
(system Grass. Those weapons will
only be constructed in the workshops OF
the State; private firms will not be cal
led upon to assist. The calculation is
that in about year million of them
will be made Then only will the new
arm be placed in the hands of the sol
diers of the active army, and the men
of the reserve and the territorial army
will be drilled in the management Of this
musket. The chassepots will be with.
drawn, and they will be altered to the
new pattern. France has at present l.
500, 900 of them. One year will be nee
essary for that transformation; so that
by adding 100000 new ones to be con
structed in the interval the Minister OF
War counts upon possessing, at the end
of 1876, 100000 muskets (model Gras)
with store of $50 metal cartridges per
weapon. The manufacture will after
ward be continued on normal scale
and in proportion to the resources of the
ordinary budget ofwar
The news concerning the artillery is
no less satisfactory. France will have,
at the end of the year 1875, 494 batteries
of six cannon each, OF caliores and 7,
with iron carriages, the pieces in bronze,
breech-loading, on the Reffye system,
The results of them are excellent and
events may be awaited without appre-
hension. But from the beginning of
next year the construction Of bronze
cannon will be abandoned, and those in
steel on the Lahltolle system will be
adopted. That metal is obtained at lie
Greasot, and the composition and make
of it leave nothing to be desired.

of Johannisberg. | wish | could give
you the slightest idea of its beauties, not
so much of its exterior, with which every
one is familiar because Of the picture
printed on the bottles, but the Princess
has had the talent and taste to make out
of four square walls a most exquisite
chateau. l went from Sommerberg on
the II o clock train and found the Prince
waiting for me with landau and postil-
ions. We drove up the long hill into the
large court yard, where we found the
princess and her guests waiting to re-
ceive us. She kissed me and presented
me to the ladies, several of whom /
knew. Before doing anything else the
Princess showed me the house. The
large hall, supported by pillars, is all
furnished in mating, and the wood work
is painted brick red. Trees, rugs, Ian
tern. screens, divans, ivy everywhere;
baldaauins over the window a grand
piano on one side, large table covered
with books in the center. Opening from
this on both sides we're rooms, each one
more beautiful than the other; one is en-
broidered; other in perse given by the
Shah himself; the dining room is lined
entirely with old porcelainsi the beauti'
full view of the Rhine from every window.

notions, turning to accout of every nook
and corner. The gentlemen we're busy
making kite, which didn't fly. We
plaved croquet, and then had some
music. The Prince has composed some
very pretty songs. At 6:30 we dined.
We drank Johannisberg, but we're told
that 7..sit was TO be paid later to the
cellar. Everything, even to the carrots
and bread comes from Paris. The ter
race is a perfect carpet of flowers, all
colors blending most artisticslly. We
took coffee on the terrace, and walked
about there till the time came to 60 the
cellar The attendant, a handsome
young gentleman, was presented 70 me.
None of the persons staying there had
vet been down. Wilkomm was written

quite sufocating when we went in, but
We got accustomed to it in little while

there are four rows Of casks After we
had walked through the vaults we sat at

glass seemed better than the other, but

we tasted and passed it on TO each other
The table where we sat was prettily ar

us. There we're speeches made, and,

again to the fresh air. Then began the
