n NEW PARABLE,

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
ikened to grain Of tobacco seed, which,
though exceedingly small, being cast into
the ground, grew, and became a great
plant, and spread its leaves rank and
broad, SO that huge and vile worms found
q habitation thereon. And it came to
pass in the course of time that the sons
of men looked upon it, and thought it
beautiful to look upon, and much to be
desired to make the lads look big and
manly. So they put forth their hands
and did chew thereof. And some it made
sick and others to vomit most filthy.
And it farther came to pass that those
who chewed it became weak and unmanly
and said we are enslaved aud can't cease
from chewing it. And the mouths Of all
those that were enslaved became foul, and
they were ceased with violent splitting !;
and they did spit, even in ladies' parlors,
and in the house Of the Lord OF Hosts.
And the saints Of the Most High was
greatly plagued thereby. And in the
course Of time it came to pass also that
others snuffed it: and they were taken
suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze
with great sneeze, insomuch that their
eyes were filled with: tears, and they did
look exceedingly silly. And yet others
cunningly wrought the leaves thereof and
did suck most vehemently at the other
end thereof and did look very grave and
calf like';: and the smoke Of their tor
ment ascendeth up forever, aud ever.
And the. cultivation thereof became a
great and mighty business in the earth !;
and the merchant men waxed rich by the
commerce thereof. And it came to pass
that the saints of the Most High defiled
themselves Herewith; eve6 the poor who
could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor
books for their little ones, spent their
money for it. And the Lord was greatly
displeased Herewith, and said, wherefore
this waste; ard why do these little ones
lack bread, and shoes and books! Turn
now your fields into corn and wheat, and
put this evil thing far from you: and be
seperate, and defile not yourselves any
more. and I will bless you, and cause my
face to shine upon you.
But with one accord they all exclaimed:
we cannot cease from chewing, snuffing
nd putting; We are slaves.

A late Tribune editorial on book
agents, it appears to me, bears Bromley s
ear-marks. If so, no one could speak
more feeliugly on this subject than Brom-
ley, for he was once book-agent him
self. Bromley had just left college, and
was hesitating as to what to do, when the
enterprising publisher of "The History Of
the World" persuaded him to make a
trip to New Brunswick to introduce the
work. After some hesitation, Bromley
acceded and started on his journey. The
day after his arrival he sailed forth from
his hotel to commence his canvass, but
for . long while hesitated as to where to
begin. By and by he espied clerical.
looking person of very neat appearance
and dignified demeanor, sitting on front
step. Approaching him, Bromley intro
duced himself as Introducing ''The His.
tory of the World.''
"Pleased to meet you. Take q seat, !"
said the stranger. "What have you to
say about the book :"
Much encouraged at this kindly recep-
ton, Bromley began his story, in which
he had been very carefully instructed on
leaving home, to the effect that the book
was ''the history ofsthe world from the
creation down to the present year, 49,;
embracing full and complete descriptions

70 the Editor of the Dallas Herald +,

10 the Editor of the Dallas Herald
have just read your editorial touch
ing the question of manufactures us
connected with the true Interest of
Dallas. The article should be pondered
carefully, and If you can by persistency
and earnestness get men who have
large interests involved in the growth
of Dallas to consider the arguments
advanced you will accomplish great
work; for reflection will produce con-
viction, and then practical results. The
writer only differs with you on one
point and that is the necessity for the
multiplication of mills. Perhaps you
are not aware of the fact that the de
mand for Texas flour has been, up to
this time, so limited that the mills Of
the city and county Of Dallas have not
been up to more than half their capac-
ity; and that after having had drum
mers securing the whole country. This
fact renders ii apparent that the pres
ent pressing desderatum is to get up
demand for Texas flour, Galveston
and Houston, Jefferson and Shreveport
are all prejudlced against Texas flour,
and even put obstacles in the way OF
its use. You are decidedly right when
you say that South America and the
West Indies should be supplied with
Texas flour. But Galveston lacks the
enterprise and capital to furnish facili-
ties for this trade, aud hence we look
with interest to railroad communica-
ton with New Orleans. One Of the
first great needs of Dallas il to supply
herself with grain elevators. These
will attract the grain Of the country
and open the way for capital to handle
it, and make room for more mills.

expectation where in former times
we had nothing. Thanks 10 n lib
eral government policy, to the
fathers of Texas and to the fathers
of the Democratic party in this
State, all this has been accomplish
ed BY this policy, millions OF
capital has been induced to enter
the field of railroad enterprise in
Texas, and by no other policy could
the same great good have been
brought about. In all new lands,
however rich in natural resources,
to induce foreign capital TO leave
it's home and come to an nntrled
region, some bonus, some extraor-
binary inducement, must always be
extended otherwise, its provcrbal
timidity will brighten it away from
the now experiment, 1t will not
como unless il is coaXed, and we
think it is the duty Of Legislators,
in State peculiarly agricultural,
to do that coaxing by Offering every
proper inducemont, when it can be
done without positive injury to the
State or gross injustice to the gen
oral interests. What has been done
blythe Legislature in building up our
great railroad system, can be accom-
plshed by tho same power in thclinc
of manufactures, and by n liberal, ju-
dicious and just legislation, n sys-
tom of manufactures can be crea.
ted in the State which will reflect in
the end as much honor on our states
men ms the wise and generous poll
cy which has brought about our
splendid network Of internal inn
provements.
Not that manufactures should be
encouraged by the appropriation Of
money from the public treasury,
nor, indeed, by the appropriation of
any portion Of our public domain,
although the lands might be, and
have been given TO u much worse
pnrposo), but by judicious aud
well directed plan Of tax exemption
for II limited period. The field for
the sale of manufactured articles in
Texas is daily growing wider and
wider ms our rich lands are taken
up by immigration, aud If the cheap
bonus OF tax exemption for lin.
tied time were offered, thousands OF
capital would, in all probability,
seek investment in all parts Of our
State from abroad. And il, in con.
nection with such exemption from
taxes, we had also usury law, II
large portion of the capital now
used in the State belonging to our
homo monicd mon, instead of being
loaned to oilers on mortgaged
homcsteads at ruinous rates of in.
terest, would be safely invested in
| good paying manufacturing stock
and instead of boing n curse to the
occupants OF the mortgaged home
stead, would be making glad the
homes Of scores Of operatives and
their industrious families. BY the
establishment of manufactures all
over the land, in the way they are
seen throughout all tho Northern
States, the greatest blessings will be
conferred on tho farmer, by cheap.
oning to him the articles he must
necessarily buy for domestic use;
and as our population is nearly all
farmers, we deem it as much the
duty Of our law-givors to legislatc
to that end, as it has been their
duty-so well performed in tho past
in what only appears to bo the
weightier matter--the great subject
of railroad transportation.

The Story of a ThOusand-DOl-
lar Bank Note.

The death of Josiah Cobbre calls a
singular incident of his life, About
1929 a colored woman named Sarah
Ridgely called at Mr. Cobb's grocery
and purchased a small amount of
groceries, giving him thousand-dol-
lar bank-note in payment. thinking
that it was a one dollar note. Sup
posing that it was stolen he detained
the bill and advertised for an owner
repeatedly; but no one claiming it
he invested it in city stock. Several
false claimants appeared for the note,
and it was the subject OIL several law
suits, which terminated in Mr.. Cobb
retaining custody. The history of
one of these claimants is as follows
Mr.. Cobb one day was conversing
about the money with man who
made so many particular inquiries
that Mr.. Cobb mistrusted his mo-
tives, and told him the woman was
dark and had large wen on the
side Of her neck when. in fact, she
was a mulatto and had no such wen.
Soon afLerward a very dark woman
with a large wen on her neck ap
peared from the Baltimore Aims
house and professed to be the Sarah
Ridgely, but the fraud was easily ex
posed, and up to this time the wo-
man who left the bank note has not
been heard from. Mr. Cobb allow
ed the money to remain with accu-
INFLATED interest until 1866, when it
amounted to $3,740, and he then
presented it to the Union Orphan
Asylum. Baltimore Gazette.
