~ From the crop reports
from Northern Mississippi,
Northern Arkansas and West
Tennessee, it appears that the
cotton crop in those sections
has decreased IA per cent as
compared with last year. The
weather generally has been less
favorable, and besides planters
have suffered much from the
oyerflows. A noticeable fact is
that while the number Of labor
ers have decreased 10 per cent.
the morals Of those now at VOL k
is considerably improved
There is a gratifying increase in
the amount Of corn planted,
and the general condition of
the crops is good. The wheat
crop has suffered considerably
from rust. Hogs are reported
as nearly doubled in number
and in good condition, very
few signs of cholera being no
ticed.

Crop PROSPECTS.

The Paris IlsteLtigencer, pub
lished in West Tennessee, says:
From reports obtained from a
large number of our farmers
from every part Of the county
the present week, we conclude
that the crop prospects are de-
cidedly good. The promise Of
corn was never better at this
season. More tobacco plants
have escaped the ravages of in
sects than was supposed two
weeks ago. The very early
wheat on good land is fully up
to an average, while that on
thin land or late, or badly put
in, will fall below an average.
Less cotton has been planted
this year than has been any year
since the war and this is one of
the hopeful signs of the times.
A greater diversity of crops,
and an increase Of tobacco,
wheat and corn, and a better
system of tilIage is now the
policy of the great majority of
our farmers. With fair sea-
sons, and an ordinary yield, the
money value of the present
crop will be greater than any
for the last five years. Hogs
are abundant, and more atten-
ton is being bestowed upon
them, and much more liberal
provision Of pasturage than
formerly. If we escape the
hog cholera this season there
will be large surplus Of pork
next winter. We are disposed
to look on the bright side Of
things, and really hope for a
great improvement in our gen
eral condition. With good
crops, and a Democratic Presi-
dent elected this fall, this may
be hailed as the year of jubilee.

| In looking over some of our Southern ex-
| changes we were struck by the facts detailed
| In letter addressed 80 a neighbor by G sorgia
gentleman, now travelling in Texas, concerning
| the resources, condition and progress of that
great State. Since its annexation to the United
States, Texas has grown enormously in wealth
and population. In 1S45 it was0stimated to at
there were las 900 souls within its borders in
1850 these had increased to 212 600; in 1860 to
| 604 600; and at the last census, in 1870, to
| S20 000 Its population at the present time is
estimated at somewhat in the neighborhood of
600 600. and the value of taxable property at
$3.50. 900, 900. The vast influx of immigrants
from surrounding States and from abroad,
amounting. it is asserted, to 250, 600 annually,
contributes enormously to the actual wealth
| and to the rapid development of resources and
enterprise. A stranger on entering Texas is
struck by the air of confidence in the great
future which every one wears. None of the
doubts as to the uncertainty Of values of real
estate which discourage investment OF as to
the possibility of success, which discourage the
Immigrant, seem to have home here !; every
one is hopeful and confident The immigrants,
as general rule, take to the country and de-
veloP the agricultural resources of the State.
which are said to be enormous. Everything
tends to encourage the immigrant. Statesmen
have occupied themselves in moulding the SET
Element laws 80 as to give every inducement to
the settler to " locate" theue. Railways have
beeu built through the richest part of the State
to facilitate the transport alton of produce to
market centres. Schools libraries and hospi-
tails have been founded, and every means that
wise and liberal government could devise for
the welfare of hs people has been adopted.
There, as elsewhere, the Catholic Church keeps
pace with the surrounding growth The diocese
OF Galveston, established in 1S47, has since
been twice subdivded-tbe see of San Antonio, |
erected September Sd, 1874, and the vicariate
apostolic of Brownsville, created December 9Th
of the same year, be ing all within ito borders.
In these three Jurisdictions there are over one |
hundred priests, one hundred and thirty
churches and chapeis, besides innumerable
stations. In point of value OF church property
the Catholics stand first, owning over one-fifth
ut the entire church property owned in the
State. Numerous parochiai aid conventschoos
have been erected, and college, under the
direction of the Oblate Fathers, has been
established at Bro wpsville. What the future
of this great country will be, should it Con
tinue to progress for the next dozen years AS it
has done during tie past five, it taxes the mind
TO conceive. We proud to know that in
Texas there fine Catholic families as are
TO tie found in the Church.-N. Y. Catholic Re

Il NEW PETER THE HERMIT:

Tee London Morning Post recently
printed tue following story in leading ar
ticle. If true land it is told with much
particularity), it is not only very curious
but very important:
new Peter the Hermit" has appeared,
1t is announced, in Russia, and is employed
under the highes uspices in infaming the
populace to the requisite pitch of fury
which the R1ssian government may care to
cultivate in support of the official policy
in tie Eastern question. He is the ex-
captain of guards, Alexander PTohostchi
kuH, one of the wealthiest inhabitants of
Moscow, who, from long acting on the
Slavic committee has come to conceive, or
to pretend that he has received a special
mission from heaven to rouse the Russian
people for crusade against the Turks, de-
clarlng that he has been inspired by the
Holy Spirit to lead RussA to the redemp-
tion OF the Slavs. He came before the
people of Moscow and preached the holy
war. From Moscow he went in company
with excited multitudes to neighboring
towns, and everywhere was hailed as q hea-
ven sent prophet. The governors and Off
clals were conspicuous IN their attentions
to the new saint. When the enthusiasm
had been nursed to u sufficient pitch to
allow of a further development, the pro
phet departed in state for Livada to an |
nOunce the will of the Most High to the |

kOff appeared as devOut a believer as the
humblest MouJik. The Gear gave. the fan
attic or impostor a heightened interview,
and ever since the prophet decarea that he
is authorized to announce that the father
of his people will not fail the cause of God
at the coming crisis. His return to Moscow
was q triumphaI march. In all the cities
the magistrates, municipal councils, and
went out to meet him, and
conducted him to HE residence amid pro-
cession of the Inhabitants. At Moscow the
town council granted ten millions of rOubles
at his demand, towards che expenses Of the

found it SO, and in all that have written do
not recall an instance when l was tempted to
nse foreign word, but that on searching,
found better one in my own language.
Be simple, unaffected; be honest in your
speaking aud writing. Never use long word
when q short one will do. Call a spade not A

honest expression of your meaning and in the
estimation of all men Who are competent to

The only true way 10 chine even ia this false

TIE Russians are the best coachmen in the
world In order to acquire the great skill in
training early-in fact, when quite children.
1t wonderful to see the boy coachman driving
carriage. and four over rough and dangerous
roads, at full gallop, for ten or twelve miles at
a stretch. Russia, as all know, is a country of
vast extent, being 1000 miles at its greatest
length, with an average width of 1900 miles,
and containing, some estimate, 900 600
of square miles. The ordinary carriage roads
are nearly the only means of communication !;
bot these are of very inferior construction.
tercept the travellers progress frsil bridges
of wood, without any battlements or outside
protection whatever, stretch across wide and
rapid rivers; and over the dangerous rosds
and the still more dangerous bridges, the Ros
sian coachman dashes at the fastest gallop. 1t
seems a miracle that travellers do not, as q
rule, lose their lives and break their limbs and
coaches every journey. The latter often takes
place; the coach being stopped for repairs
sometimes balf-a-dozen times on the road.

THE COST OF VANDERBILTS PRO

At fret, believing that death would speedily

bled on the sidewalk and stoops across Tho
motley party it was. The occu pants of the
elegant mansions in the neighborhood COM
planned that the locality bad assumed q new
and not pleasant character since the reporters
had made 1t rendezvous. Instead of being
arlstocratically quiet and echoless il resounded
with merriment and the ciatter of the feet of
ca6-horses bringing messen gers aud orders to
and fro upon nights when the great railroad
magpate seemed more than usually i'll. The
police often came To order the young men TO
move on" but as often they Iemained to
laugh at the diversions put on foot TO stave off
monotony and drive away fatigue.
Grad ually, as it became more and more evil
dent that the Com modore suffered from q siow
lingering malady, the reporters representing
the smaller dailles were withdrawn, and with
them were taken the extra men sent by the
more prosperous jousn ais to assist the men in
charge. A little band of four 1--WE young men
remained. They engaged g room in building
near by, and in 1T whiled away the long nights
in various games. There is no growing Cs-
berus from the kitchen to frighten reporters
from the Commodore's door. The wise and
kindly old New Yorker at the first gave orders
that the reporters should be courteously
treated. For weeks they were received in the
parlors of the psstial residence; but latte,ly, |
in order to facilitate matters, the reporters |
have met at the house in q body each night at |
10 O'Clock, IL O'Clock, and 2 o'clock, and one or
the other Of the Commodore's rich gray b aired |
medicine men has come down to the front door |
and announced in few words the news from the
'lck-room upstairs. Had a different plan been
adopted, by which it would have been diff cult
or disagreesble to obtain news of the Commo-
iores condition, dozen announcements of his
1eath instead of one, would have been sent out
10 deceive the papers and the people. Bat,
'asy as it is to get this information, the one
me in the paper every day, "Cotnmodore
Vanderbilt is easier" cost each of the morning
,nrnals between $50 and $50 per week, and
his expenditure, with augmentations now and

been maintained since Maya period of more
han half year. Yet he may recover, as
Jharles OConor did.
