There came TO port last Sunday night
The oueerest little craft,
without an inch Of rigging on;
nooked, and looked, and laughed;
IT seeued so curious that she
Should cross the unknown water,
And moor herself within my room
Mydaughter, o, my daughter!
Yet, by these presents, witness all,
She's welcome fifty times,
And comes consigned to Hope and Love,
And common metre rhymes.
She has no manifest but this;
No flag floats o'er the water;
She's rather new for British Lloyds-
My daughter, o, my daughter!
Ring out, wild bells-and tame ones, too;
Ring ont the lovers moon;
Ring in the little worsted socks;
Ring in the bib and spoon.
Ring out the muse; ring in the nurse;
Ring in the milk and water;
Away with paper, pens and ink

CROP PROSPECTS,

The National Crop Reporter, of the
25th instant, contains the following
abstract of crop reports: "The area
planted in Irish potatoes last year in
the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, was,
in round numbers, $4,000 acres, the
average per centage of increase upon
which is estimated at nearly five per
cent, or about 5000 acres. Correspon-
dents in Minnesota, Iowa and Wiscon.
sin estimate the probable increase in
area of barley, to be at 6-lO per cent,
as compared with last year. The aver
age condition of swine in April in the
eight states named above shows u very
low rate as compared with the COLI
dition at the same time last year, rep
resenting the latter by 100, the average
for the eight states is fraction less
than 81. None of the eight states
named report over 80, and Missouri re-
turns rs low as t,7. The average prices
of leading articles April lst, were as
follows: Wheat, 81 II; corn, 55c; oats,
42c; hay, 50 q; swine, 81 66; potatoes,

Hon. J. G. GIDDINGs, representative
in congress from Texas, has entitled
himself to the good will of the whole
state in getting through the lower
house bill appropriating money to
establish military telegraph from
Red river to the Rio Grande, connect
ing the forts and posts along our
whole frontier. 1t is believed that it
, will also pass the senate and become a
law. If so, great good must result in
securing protection 10 our people on
: the borders and encouraging settle
ment in the home region. Anything
that will afford protection against the
Indians and justify families locating
ON the virgin lands. of the frontier,
will be great benefit to Texas in many
respects. Railroads would be entirely
efficacious, but their progress must be
slow, and in the meantime, soldiers in
telegraphic communication, covering
the exposed line, constitute the only
means of security. Mr.. Giddings, SO
far as his house is concerned, has ac-
complished what has been desired for
years, and tempts us to forgive the only
mistake in his congressional career, in
voting for the salary bill. away 81

HOOD COUNTY,

Lying across, but chiefly on the west
side of the Brazos, is prospering, per-
haps, more than any other 80 near the
frontier 1t il, In the main, a fine
country, aside from the Brazos valley,
which Is wide, fertile and bountiful.
Our former townsman, Mjaor j. q.
Jordan, owns fine mill property, with
superior water facilities, and is largely
adding to the works. Near by isa sui
phur spring--the scenery is beautiful
health unsurpassed--and it will, doubt
less, when improved as the proprietor
contemplates, become a popular sum-
mer resort. The county is settled by
an excellent class of people, who take
a warm interest in educational matters.
We can scarcely realize that where we
roamed in the frontier service not more
than fifteen years ago, so great an ad
vance, so far from railways, has been
made, and it is with pleasure we men-
ton the facts.

GOOD lands can be purchased within
twelve to twenty miles of Dallas at
from four to seven dollars per acre
land rs good as any in the country
yet comparatively small demand
exists. Why it is so, we cannot say.
Assurelly the price cannot be COM
planned of. In the southeast part of the
county most of the land is a sandy soil,
covered with forests of oak, hickory,
etc. 1t can generally he had at four to
five dollars, some at less and some mt
higher figures. Whenever railway
shall run from Dallas southeast, the
timber on these lands will be worth
two or three times the present price.
But that section populates slowly. In
the south part, west Of the river and
near the Central railroad, choice prai-
rie lands, convenient to the timber of
the river bottom, are very cheap. So
in the northeast portion of the county,
as good lands as any in the state can
be had at four to six dollars, with the
best of prairie and good timb in close
proximity. In some other parts the
figures are higher, but the county, as a
whole, omitting the immediate vicinity
of Dallas, and considering the prOduc-
tiveness of the soil, healthfulness of
the country and convenience to mar
ket, offers the most favorable induce
ments to new comers. We are often
surprised that more purchases are not
made.
The unexampled growth of Dallas
has inflated prices in the immediate
neighborhood, and doubtless here, as
elsewhere under similar transitions,
prices may often be too high. Still,
very choice lands can be boughtwithin
three miles of the court house at twen-
ty-five dollars, perhaps less in numer-
GUS cases. Lands, however, regarded
as suburban, say within two miles of
the business center, are held at much
higher rates for few acres. Half or
more of the lands referred to are not
adapted to the purposes named, and
hence cannot he sold at fancy prices.
Much of is bottom land or situated
otherwise unfavorably. 1t is we'll for
holders to draw these distinctions and
grade prices to suit locality and charac-
acter, remembering that actual near
ness to town does not increase all val
ues alike.
We speak, of course, altogether of
unimproved land.

MR.. STAMPS STAMPS.
How They Got Away From Him.

Mr. Stamps stamped into this city,
yesterday, as sort of relay between
his point of departure and the point he
was after getting to, which was Hen
derson, frisky young village in
Rusk county. Stamps had the hole in
his pantaloons full Of capital, and in
logging it around the city, brought it
out once or twice, and it caught the
eye of a rascal, and finding out which
way Mr.. Stamps was going, he went
out of the city ahead of him, and as he
was riding along the road, steps out
from the side of the highway, takes
Mr.. Stamps horses bride and says
"Stop ~ Stamps checks up and awaits
results. He is then told that he is just
the man wanted, and at the moment
he was SO infused, another kind
stranger steps out on the other side of
the road and then the two blindfold
Mr.. Stamps with his hat, by tying it
down over his face, and pinning his
legs take him Off from the highway
about a half mile and then whistle
up another confederate and they all go
through him. After getting all the
money, three hundred and fifty dol
lars, gold, silver and greenbacks, they
did not take time to take off his man
acles and the obscuring hat, but tell
him he ought to be thankful that he is
left his horse and life, they made their
escape. After considerable exertion,
Mr.. Stamps gets loose and comes to the
city and tells this episode to Messrs.
Schneider & Davis. Efforts have been
made by the proper authorities to REIN
state Mr.. Stamps with his stamps.

RAID ON noRss Thieves.

1t is reported that the outlaw and
horse thief lately killed in Hill county,
gave the names of over forty Of his
gang, in different parts of the country,
many of whom were speedily arrested.
Some of them had been long suspected.
One, it is said, in trying to escape on a
stolen horse, was riddled with balls,
somewhere toward dyohEson county. If
this report is true, and itcomes through
a respectable channel, we shall expect
to hear of the death Of numerous noto-
rious characters. The people are be-
coming so deeply incensed at thieves
and robbers, that lynch law is apt to
come into play. We greatly deplore
such a condition of things, and can
never lend sanction to citizens execut-
ing men who can be brought to the bar
of justice and tried according to law.
1t is true that very extraordinary cases
arise, where it seems the safety and
even the lives of a community may de
mand summary vengeance ON out
laws But such eases are exceptional

by the company in Chicago that con-
siderable town was already in exist

ments of any kind. The town site be-
longs to a Chicago company, having as
agent in Texas, Mr.. ]. w. Lawrence,

ter forbids the idea of intentional de-
ception. We trust there is some mis-
take. The enterprise is in its infancy,

such we felt solicitous for its success.

pulsory the redemption of the circulat'
ing notes of banks in coin or United
States notes, themselves redeemnble
and made equivalent to coin. AS a
measure preparatory to free banking,
or for placing the government in con-

coin that it can be converted into.

there still remains four millions of
authorized bank note circulation as
signed to states having less than their
quota of bank circulation, and have
the option of twenty-five millions
more to be taken from those states

When this is all taken up, or when

be the time to consider the question of
more currency. L. S. GRANT.
