8~From California there comes q general
warning to young men not to go West-at least to
the Pacific ooast-for every Industrial avenue is
filled to overaowing aud times are as hard there
as they are in the Eastern States. There is one
State in the Union that invites emigrants, with a
promise Of profitable employment and good homo
steads for monetary triAes Texas can aeeOmmo-
date and give remunerative labor to half mil
lion of farmers and artisans, and all who settle
there and york hard can accumulate fortunes.
The soil is rich, the climate salubrious, aud with
out ice and snoy, or, indeed, winter, we have it
in the Middle States. Wool growing is the most
profitable industry, and any one can carry it on
while tilling tho land and producing, with but lit
tie labor, enough to support a large family. Be-
yond, and soon to be opened up, are the rich nil
ming regions Of New Mexico, and to these the
moro adventurous might go, but for the multitude
the Lone Star State is now the ulost inviting in the
Union.

Gs~In tho funeral sermon upon Commodore
Vanderbilt, the Rev. DR.. Deems (vho got legacy
of $2O,O00) said that he believed the Copmodore
had singularly child ike faith In the Lord Jesus
Christ as Saviour, and that having yielded him
such faith and trust during all his life he is num-
bered now with the saints in glory everlasting. II
This strikes the New York papers as u now view
of the life and character Of Conmodoro Wander
bilt, aud one of them expresses the opinion that it
is little doubtful whether be cosld have aecumu-
lated sixty eighty millions if he had maintained
singularly child-l;kc faith in Christ so that be

Canada than with U.s. In 1875, one in every 80

A HORSEBACK JAUNT OF Four THOUSAND MILES.
--Capt. Willard Glazier, who rode out of Boston
on the 9th Of May last, intendingto make horse
back ride across the continent has returned to the
Hub. He accomplished the undertaking, but
judging from his story, must be heartily glad it is
over. The entire time occupied by the journey
was 200 days, the captain reaching the Golden
number of days in the saddle was IA, which gives
an averaged twenty eight miles and seven-tonths
per day. During this journey of more than 1000
miles Captain Glazer delivered forty four lectures
for tho Grand Army fund and also for the Custer
fund.- and visited Gas cities, villages and stations.
he tested the merits Of 1873 hotels, farm houses
and ranches and made special visits to 100 pub
lie institutions and places of resort. He killed
three buffalocs, eight antelopes and twenty-five
prairie woLes, was captured by the Sioux, killed
two of them, escaped and came East by railroad,
fully approaching the value of steam as q motive
power and the comfort Of living in civilized com
munity.--Boeton Globe.

Indians have been conquered, and that the lead
