Why DONE You 60 to Texas.

A gentlemsn was in the city the other day,
posting up maps representing Texas as the Par-
disc in this universe for emigrants. To help him
in his work, We will cory what writer says about
the place:
"a pleasant SPOT for a nervous man is certain
place IN Texas. which is thus described by an anna
teur of natural scenery and natural products:
he small brown wolf is quite common and
you occasionally get glimpse of his large black
brother. But Texas is the paradise Of reptiles
and creeping things. Rattle and moccasin snakes
are too numerous to shake a stick at The bite
of the former can be cured by drinking raw whis-
key to absolute repeton, but for the latter there
is no cue.
The tarantuls is pleasant institution to get in
to quarrel with. He is a spider, with a body
about the size of hens egg, and legs five or six
inches long. and covered with long, coarse, black
hair. lie lies in the cattle tracks and if you see
HIM, move out OF his PATH as his bite is absolute
~ certain death, and he never gets out Of the way
for any one. Then there is the centipede, fur
nished with an unlimited number of legs, each leg
armed with claw, and each claw inticting q sep.
arste wound. If he walks over you at night, you
VIII have cause to remember him for many month.
TO come, as the wound is of particularly poison
Gus nature, and is very difficult to heal. The
singing lizard is a lesser evil the sensation of its
wound being hkened to the application of q red
bot iron to the person. But one is too happy to
escape with life TO consider these lesser evils any
annoyance. But the insects, flying, creeping.
jumping buzzIDg, stinging-they everywhere.
