10 the Editor of The Dallas Herald:

In the last Sundays HERALD read
with great deal of interest the edito-
rial upon Austin college, and upon the
value of such institutions to the COM
munities in which they are established.
II but confirms the universal expert
ence that the very best Investment into
which II city can enter Is the estab.
lishment of good schools.
No business enterprise that is likely
to seek a footing in Dallas can confer
SO solid prosperity as would Il iirst-claSs
college. The hundrcdpupils that Aus
tin college now has will spend here
/ annually $4,000, at low estimate,
and who doubts that once established
here in this center of trade and travel,
the number will be at least doubled?
The fact that Dallas has such IN in
stltution, manned by an efficient corps
or teachers, will be most effective
advertisement of our city, and will
attract hundreds of families who
otherwise would seek home elsewhere.
Another city, the capitol of the State,
has made tempting offers, and if Dallas
would secure the prize she must offer
lands and money also.
We are convinced. that our public
spirited and sagacious citizens will not
let slip this opportunity for a most
profitable Investment, but will at once
and freely respond to the call.
flour prosperous merchants, our large
landholders and real estate owners are
not altogether blind to their own
worldly interests in this matter. we
we shall look for speedy transfer of
this college from the present location
atHuntsville, to one of thcmany beau
tiful sites near our city, where noble
ediiice shall stand, a monument to the
far-seeing wisdom of our citizens.

Operations i'm Otto of Rose.

This world-renowned perfume, for
which such fabulous prices are paid,
even in these modern times, as to fur
nish grounds for belief in the extent of
the disbursements of Oriental poten-
tates for similar Injuries in times long
ago, is of no small Importance to the
peasantry of Turkey, and as regards
prices especially, when there is falling
off Ill the crop of roses. Such is ex-
pected to be the case this season, when
the whole distillation, it is thought, will
not exceed l. 00pounds where last year,
z, 700 pounds We're produced. There has

this falling off in the crop, and also, it
is stated, to an advance both in Paris

within Il short time. Nearly 800 ounces
have been purchased here within Il few
days, and tie tendency of the market,
owing to the Influence of this and the
advices from the other side, seems to be
toward higher prices. There are eight
provinces III turkey, WHICH III lOEtl
yield 5000 pounds ordinarily, the
largest giving about 1000 pounds; but
sometimes the aggregate reaches $500
pounds, as it was in 1866, while again it
may fall off to LOO pounds, as was the
case III 1872. This will show how varia-
bic the yield is. The business is entirely
in the hands of peasants and farmers,
who have their stiles and condensation
tubs busily at work during the season.
The cultivation requires the greatest
care, and a considerable quantity of
roses are required to produce a respect
able yield of oil. The crop is variable,
but we are told that it requires an
average of 5000 pounds of roses to pro
duce one pound of otto Of rose. -Ne,c

COTTON.

The cotton crop is indicated by the
following state averages deducted from
the October returns of the Department
of Agriculture: The crop of Virginia
is too small to influence perceptibly the
general result. North Carolina So PER
cent, decline of per cent, during
September; South Carolina 80, de
cline of 1 per cent. Georgia so, an i'm
provement of per cent; Florida 81,
an improvement of 4 per cent. Alabama

Texas 10, an increase of 5 per cent. Ar

Tennessee 90, an increase of per cent.
The above averages refer only to the
condition of the crop on the first day of
October including the state of develop
ment, vitality and healthfu'ness. This
is but one element in the calculation OF
the yield in quantity, which has not yet
been completed.

Alaska as New Iceland.

The Icelanders have recently cele-
brated the one-thOuSandth anniversary
of the settlement of their remote ances-
tors III their bleak northern home, a
region OF dreary wastes, volcanic noun
tains and vast fields of lava. In the in
terror are extensive regions embracing
thousands of square miles where moth
ing is to be seen but the vestiges of vol
canic destruction. Since the first settle
mentthe climate and physical geography
Of the country have undergone re
markable change, SO that the country is
now scarcely habitable. For a long
period the mean annual temperature has
been steadily decreasing. Varieties of
grain and vegetables formerly raised in
comparative abundance Will no longer
grow there. The ancient forests have
almost entirely disappeared. The raw
ages Of famine and pestilence have re
duced the population to some 10000
These facts have warned the Icelanders
that the time is at hand when their
native land will cease to be habitable by
man, and they began some years ago to
look abroad III search of some region
to which they might emigrate. A few
hundred of them undertook to establish
a settlement III the highlands of Brazil,
but they found the climate uncongenial,
and the colony went to Canada, but
were not satisfied in their new home.
Others tried some Of our Western
States, with no better result More
recently some OF their leading men have
conceived the idea that of all the terri
tory of the United States Alaska will
suit them best. In this belief thew
have petitioned the President to furnish
facilities to a committee of Icelanders
to visit Alaska for the purpose of ascer-
tanning its suitableness as home for
their countrymen. The President and
his Cabinet viewed the proposition with
favor, and the sloop-of- war Portsmouth,
at Mare Island, was detailed to take the
committee on their expedition. On the
18th Of the present month the committee
arrived in San Francisco, and on Thurs
day of last week they sailed for Sitka
on the Portsmouth. Should they find
that Alaska is all that it has been rep
resented, they will issue a report, the
effect of which will undoubtedly be- to
produce steady and increasing tide Of
emigration from the old Iceland to the
new, and the United States will receive
the benefit of a large body of hardy in
dustrious and intelligent settlers.
