Profits of Texas Cattle Raising.

The profits arising from the invest
ment of money in pasturing stock IN this
region are enormous. Mr.. Alfred Smith,
q prominent citizen of Austin, Texas,
whom met in the Indian Nation on his
way home from trip to New York, IN
formed me that at the close OF the war
he invested So, 800 in horses. By judi
cious sales from the large number OF
horses this amount purchased, and by
the shrewd Investment OF the money
thus realized in the purchase OF other
horses, and by the natural increase OF his
stock, he is now the owner OF four thous-
and head. How much beside he made
in cattle, sheep and land he did not IN
form me, but when in Austin / was in
formed by prominent banker that " Old
Smith" had realized half a million by his
faith in the stock pasturage of Western
Texas. Sheep raising is said to be a
source of surer profit than either horses
or cattle. The sheep ranges OF Western
Texas are unsurpassed. 1t is almost
impossible for any person who goes into
the sheep business in Western Texas
with little capital to keep from getting
rich. A great many of the capitalists OF
Eastern Texas buy few thousand sheep
on the frontier when mesquit grass can
be had, and then give them in charge to
some party, who personally attends to
them, who pays all the expenses and
takes half the gross profits for his pay.
Mr.. William Kelleher, of Austin, a
prominent sheep-raiser, informed me
that he made an annual profit of from
80 to 40 per centum on the amount in
vested. To understand the enormous
profits made in sheep-raising in this Sec
tion it is only necessary to state thatone
man can take care of and properly at
tend 1000 sheep. Taking into consid-
GRAFTON accidents, disease, etc., the
sheep double themselves every three
years. No feed is required during the
winter except the mesquit grass so plen-
tifulIy afforded, and the genial and mild
climate precludes the necessity of hous-
ing during the same period. But while
this country is marvellously adapted for
grazing, it is also a Gne agricultural
country.-Houston (Ieros) Letter to
lIilaUaukee Sentinel.

PenInanShiD.

The man or woman who can handle
the pen in a mastery manner possesses
an accomplishment which can scarcely
be over-rated. 1t is not, indeed, impor-
tant to be able to frame our letters with
the exactness and beauty which would
become professor of the art, unless we
ourselves propose to teach it; but it is
desirable to acquire a neat and perfectly
legible hand. This will be found the
best for practical purposes. Ornament
and flourish occasion confusion to the
eye, by the apparent, it not real, inter-
mixture of letters. It is encouraging to
know that all, or nearly all, can learn to
write sufficiently well, by beginning
early, and taking due pains. 1t is well
to begin very early. We should not give
child's mind exercise disproportioned
to the bodily development. It is not
well to crowd the memory, or tax any
faculty severely. For all such coercion
nature will be revenged at last. There
fore, would set child early to writing,
because this will amuse, and not greatly
fatigue him. Many adults never learn
to write well; they have not had time, is
their excuse. II they began early, the
accomplishment would have been insensi-
bly, acquired. Yet they need not de-
spair, but even late in life can acquire
the art. This attainment is clearly of
considerable Importance in our inter
course with strangers; for men form an
opinion of PERSONS education, cast OF
mind, and habits, from his handwriting.
First impressions are often permanent;
how desirable that they should be just.
Some excellent men, however, write de.
plorably. Among our friends we may
be rated according to our well-known
character. But how shall strangers
Judge thus2 A written communication,
too, may be our only introduction. Good
penmanship, too, seems to imply de-
gree of mental refinement. There must
be III the mind some conception and ap-
probation of fitness and beauty, in order
to write gracefully and well. Then,
again, to write good hand adds much
to the comfort of our correspondents;
and no one has right to disregard the
convenience OF others.

The BaDtists.

The Baptists of the United States have
certainly no reason to be ashamed Of
what has been accomp lished by their
denomination during the past one hun
dred years. At the beginning of the
century now just ended, there were
about 20, 900 members of that church in
the thirteen colonies; now there are
about 2, 900, 900, making the denomina-
ton next to the largest in the United
States 1t outnumbers the Congrega-
tional and Episcopal denominations two
fold. There are 5000, 900 members and
attendants of the Baptist churches in
this country, nearly one-seyenth of the
whole population. It is proposed to
raise an educational fund of 100000
this year by one-dollar contributions.

Ihe European war cloud, which but
few weeks ago was no bigger than
mans hand, is fast spreading over the
whole Eastern sky. The dispatches from
Vienna, Belgrade, Paris, Constantinople,
and Berlin agree in the general infor-
nation that the Porte having rejected
Servia's ultimatum, var between Servia
and Turkey is inevitable. The Prince
Milan, the reigning Prince of Servia,
yielding to the popular pressure, has
taken the head of the army, and the
whole of Servia is under military law.
The Sefvlan army for some time past
has been on the Turkish frontier, facing
the Turkish army, which is commanded
by Abdul Kerim Pasha. The war move
ments are not confined to Servia. That
province cannot go into war without
dragging all the others in also Monte
negro has taken the first step by sum-
monlng all Montenegrins to arms De-
tween the ages of II and 60 years. The
Herzegovinians have appointed time
to meet the Montenegrin chiefs and agree
upon a mutual plan of operations when
Servia strikes. Roumania, although
neutral at present, only awaits the sig
nal from Russia to join the attack. Bull
garia is in revolt, and the recent horrible
cruelties of the Bashi- Bazeuks (Turkish
irregular troops) will spur her on to
summary revenge. On the south the
Greeks are all ready for the contest, and
will take the Turks on the flank. We
have already given the war resources of
Servia, and need not repeat them. If
the Great Powers keep their hands off,
Servia alone is a match for the Porte.
With the aid of Montenegro, Herze-
govina, and Bosnia on the west, Rou-
mania and Bulgaria on the east, and the
Greeks south of the Balkans, Turkeys
doom is sealed.
The forthcoming war is the mostimpor-
tant social movement of the present CEN
tury and the whole civilized world will
watch it's progress with intense interest.
To drive the Turks out of Europe and
restore the country to its old native pop
ulation, to get rid of that Asiatic night
mare which has afflicted the Sclavic
Christians so long and exposed them for
centuries to barbarity, cruelty, supersti-
ton and fanaticism, to release twelve
millions of Christians and drive back
| their Moslem oppresstrs is a movement
more important than the unifcation of
Germany, the emancipation of the serfs,
or the unification of Italy more impor-
tant even than the abolitlon of American
slavery. We only liberated 100000 of
slaves. This war of religion and races
promises to release 1000, coo of Chris
tians of the old Greek Empire and to
expel 100000 of the worst population
Of Europe, the deadly enemies of pro
gress, of liberty, and of human thought.
1t will not only restore these Christians
to their civil and religious rights, but
will be of value to the whole world. II
will prove blessing to commerce !; will
open up country rich in wine, oil, cat
tie, and wheat; will afford an outlet fol
the manufacturing nations of Europe,
and develop railroad building and gen
eral improvements. 1t will be war III
the interest of civilization and human
progress. Chicago Tribune.

THE NEXT CENTURY.

Where, where will be the birds that sing
a hundred years to come ?
The flowers that now in beauty spring,
A hundred years to come?
The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The hearts that beat so gayly now?
On, where will be loves beaming eye,
Joys pleasant smiles. and sorrows sigh,
hundred years to come?
Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years to come?
VINO tread yon church with willing feet,
Ahundred years to come?
Pale, trembling age, and fiery youth.
And childhood with its brow Of truth
The rich. the poor, on land and sea,
A hundred years to come?
we all within our graves shall sleep,
A hundred years to come;
No living soul for us will weep,
hundred years to come
But other men our lands will till.
and other men our streets will fill,
While other birds will sing as gay,
As bright the sunshine IS to-day,
hundred years to come!

Probable Separation of Egypt and Tur-
kew

It is beginning to be rumored in the
higher diplomatic circles Of Europe, that
one of the first effects of the revolution
will be tie complete separation of Egypt
from the turkish Empire. The Khediye,
who was already at his wits end with
his creditors in Europe and his enemies y?
in Africa, has been exasperated, so 1t Is
said. by the demands on his financial
and military resources of the new Sultan
and has given the Ministers of the Sub
lime Porte to understand that if he is
pressed too hard he will throw off his
allegiance altogether. 1t is believed
that .Englandis encouraging him to take
this step, and as England just now is all
powerful at Constantinople, and France
can hardly afford to quarrel with her IN
the presence of the allied imperial pow
ers, the Khedive could hardly find
more propitious moment for taking
step which it is quite certain must be
taken sooner or later.-New York World

Cincinnati Enquirer.i

The Cincinnati Commercial does at
see how sine negroes can dismiss poll
tics. because under Democratic rule they
would be relieved of their political and
civil rights and privileges, and practi-
cally reduced TO the condition of serf5.
How is that, when the Democracy are
IN power in nearly all che Southern
states, and they have made no EFFORT "a
the direction designated2 How can il
be, when by she fifteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution all the
States are prohibited from making
political distinctions in regard to
suffrage, based upon color, race or pre-
-yiOus condition OF servitade?" The
ablest men in the National Negro Com
vention at Nashville advised new POI
litical departure. In this they were
right. They were little In advance OF
their age, but they will be eventually
sustained The average negro IL now
blind to his situation. He imag1nes that
he is indebted for his freedom and bis
political privileges to the action OF the
Republican party. In fact, they We're
forced upon that party by the progress
Of events. To it the negroes owe nc
thanks. But since the war nothing since
all parties have acqniesced in the situa-

ill-advised than the unanimous sup
