The following, from tie Dallas
Herald can be repeated with emphasis
to our farmer. Bad government should
not so discourage our people, nor
the entire cultivation Of cstton 40 tax
their time, as to deter them from pay
ing attention to their homes
"Our farmers are all busy With
their crops, it il true, but many Of
them have not given that attention
to improving aud repairing their
places they should. 1t is astonishing
what an effect little wh,tewash and
paint will make in tho appearance
and comfort Of tho farm house. A
farmers leisure can not be better
employed than in repairing tho fen
ces and farm buildings aud giving the
whole place . good whitewashing.
Then enough should be laid aside to
get blinds to the house and a few
books and a good newspaper. Tho
farmer y life is o hard Que, and he
needs to make his home surroundings
as pleasant aud rs attractive rs his
means will permit. Where there are
girls in tue family he should epcour-
age them to cultivate flowers in their
hours Of leisure, and encourage a
fondness for reading, which is, Of all
resources to. persons isolated FROM
society, tho most delightful.
Nothing is calculated to give stran-
gers, looking at out county, q poor
opinion Of the thrift and intelligence
Of our country than seeing the houses
weather.bsaseo and going to rack,
the fences down, the gates oil, the
weeds growing in the yard and stock
roaming about at liberty every where.
A farm house and buildings should
10 always kept neat aud in repair.
An hours work every day will do
wonders toward converting many Z
diIapidated looking old country house
into pleasant object to the eye, and
attractive place to its inmates. The
old idea that "auything is good
enough for Texas" must be abaa-
doned. The days of stulting pillows
in broken windows and pinning
quilts up to DO duty a. doors Of cur.
tains, should be numbered. The
more comfortable q farmer makes
himself tho better work he can do,
whether his means Be email or great.

THAT the effJrts OF John Mitchell in
behalf Of Ireland were not made in q
spirit Of blind folly, is apparent from the
passage, a few days ago in the British
house OF commons, of the amendments
to the peace reservation act. The pro-
visions authorizing the summary seizure
and confiscation of newspapers were ra-
pealed, the restriction on the use of arms,
however, was maintained, as also the
provision which empowers the police to
arrest absconding witnesses, and which
authorizes the government to employ
extra police, and to charge the extra
police on the disturbed districts. The
life and property act confined to West
meath and its neighborhood-is also TO
be continued for two years, though only
fourteen persons have been arrested un-
der 1t, and none since last June-fifty

MEXICAN MARAUDERS.
Corpus Christi. Texas, Surrounded by
Mexican Bandfts A Fearful
Story Of OutFages.

GALVESTON, March "a dispatch
from Corpus Christi, Texas, to-day, says
that a band Of MeXicans came within
seven miles of that town and robbed
several storehouses and took a large
number of Americans prisoners, among
them Judge Gilpin, formerly member
of the legislature, and two women.
They compelled the prisoners TO
walk in front of them till they
were exhausted, and then mounted
them on bareback horses and hurried
them off, robbed and burned the post
Office at Nueces, and robbed black pris-
oner and one mail.rider. Texans have
gone in pursuit. A fight is reported at
or near Banquette. One Mexican and
two Americans were killed. All except
four persons escaped. Nothing has been
heard Of them. Business is suspended
and the citizens are under arms guard
ing the town. Information received
from Los AlmRs, Neuees county, says
that throughout the entire re-
gion between here and the Rio
Grande lawless bands from Mex
leo are continually rsiding through
the country, robbing, numbering
and driving stock across the river.
They have become so daring of late that
nearly all travel on the highways has
ceased. Even stock mel are deferred
from huRting their cattle and horses,
through fear Of falling in the hands of
these ruffiaus. Atpresent there seems
to be concerted movement on the part
OF these villains to clean up the white
men within striking distance OF
the Rio Grande fifty or seventy-five
miles, and even further where ingress
and egress can be safely effected. To
this end they have been crossing the
river in small bodies for the past week,
and il is estimated that there are now
on Texss soil at least three hundred
armed bandits. Rumor hath it that
several Americans near the river have
been murdered by them. Rumor comes
in that the Americans have cleared up
3 company or two OF negro soldiers
at San Luis, on the Rio Grande, about
forty miles below Rio Grapde City. A
Humber Of armed men were seen hover
ing near this place. A number of Mex
leans reside here, but cannot be depend
ed on for assistance in 3 contest in which
their countrymen are engaged. Nearly
the whole Rio Grapde frontier Of Texas,
embracing q belt Of from fifty TO one
hundred miles in width, is inhabited
mostly by Mexicans, many of whom,
though taking no active part in the 70.

and give them secret aid and comfort.

FROM THE MODERN PAUL.
HIS Latest TOHr through tho Inundated
Region Of Middle and East Ten
Resssee-ArkaHsas and the
Little HtUcAA Railroad.

EDITORS APPEAL-I have just arrived
in your city from months travel along
the line OF the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railway, preaching and
delivering free lectures on the people Of
India, China and Japan, and have had
fine audiences generally. The towns
are building up rapidly from Hickman
on the M'Kenzie, owing, no doubt, to
the numerous railroad crossings in that
section. But from M'Kenzie on to Nash
vile things appear to be at stand still;
and indeed it is said there is actual suf-
fering for the neces saries Of life in some
Of the poorer counties OF that region.
Huntington is place Of great activity,
and they are putting up fine new
brick church under the leadership of
Elder Hall, of the Christian church.
Waverly is the next place of import
ance, and is very beautiful town, but
seems to be literally sleeping on the
banks of one of the most beautiful blue
creeks I ever saw. From Nashville on
to the Cumberland mountains, through
MurfreesbOro, TullahOma, ETC., the
country is simply charming. At COwan,
just this side OF the tunnel, under Cum
berland mountain, took the Tennessee
coal and railroad cOmp9ny's train, and
went up to their mines on top of Cum
berland mountain. Scenery here mag.
nificent; mountains, valleys, mineral
springs, and icicles ten feet long hang
ing from the Water-tank ten days ago.
Working people up there; new towns
springing up like magic on the noun
tain top; and the high officers Of that
high railroad and coal company are not
afraid Of work either. Saw a director
actually directing his affairs and not
afraid of hard work, and the vice-pres-
ident, who had just finished a hard
journey On the "outside Of a
mule" as he expressed it.
A great Episcopal university up there,
too, with several hundred students from
nineteen States, gave me fine audience.
