tor. Major Dorm says that the Texas
bonds now to be put upon tie market
by Comptroller Darden, $500, 900 in
amount, will readily sell, he thinks,
for $105. These bonds have thirty
years to run, bear six per cent. GOLD

way Wall street people use them.
Il is pity, too, to suffer strangers to
draw all this gold out of Texas.
Major Dorm, we are persuaded, almost
cries when he thinks about the
good things our people suffer to slip
from between their fingers. These
new bonds will be printed as required
by the rules of the Gold and Bond
Board of Wall street. They will be
sold in accordance with the regulations
of the street, and will therefore be
quoted every day as Texas securities
have never been. Then we will always
know precisely what they are worth
IN the market. Major Dorm says that
Texas grows more and more potent in

The Old World.

The journal des DeJats says: ''The
history OF the River Pruth is full Of in
structIon for those whe would run the
risk of crossing it, and the Russian
army would have done well to consult
the chronicles of the last and present
century before attempting the passage.
In I'LL, Peter the Great was surprised
on its banks, near Faltchi, by 100, 600
Turks, who suddenly surrounded him,
and the great Gar only escaped from
this critical plight by treaty which
was negotiated for him by his wife, by
which be was compelled entirely 10
give up his new establishments upon
the Sea Of Azof and the Black Sea.
This nvcr has been crossed by the Rus
SLAMS every time they have attacked the
Turkish Empire, and its pass 20 was in
1854 the signal that the Crmcsn war
had really broken out, and every one
knows what came Of that as regards
Russia. The Pruth is the modern
Rubicon."

The itJ of Houston enjoys the rep
utatiOn of having the shrewdest and
most successful financiers in the State,
and some of these advance the opinion
that we of Texas have lot yet struck
bedrock in the way of hard or striD-
gent times. They assert that depres
sion must go on here until we get
where the people of the East are now,
and until our money lenders become
content, perhaps eager, to realize five
to seven per cent, instead of ten to
twenty. Rents, they say, must come
down in like proportion, and every
branch of industry and the mode of
living become revolutionized and
changed to more careful and economic
basis. Judging by what we have all
observed in the past three years
and the apparent scarcity of mon
ey and. stress of business now, as
compared to last season, the words OF
those gentlemen are entitled to )nsid
Grafton, even by those who take q more
hopeful and entirely different view of
the business situation. That Texas is
in the best condition, with her bounti-
full crops, genial climate and the tide
of immigration pouring in, of any
State in the Union, is not an extrava-
giant proposition; but this is no argu-
ment that we have passed the worst,
and that soon lively and better times
will dawn upon us. That, with proper
industry and reasonable management,
all in Texas can make living, and
perhaps have little left besides, is al
together likely, for the cost of living
for the next twelve months will be but
a trifle; but certainly big rewards on
labor or heavy profits on traffic cannot
safely be counted on. If people gen
orally will accept the situation
as it is they will find that the hard
times so much complained about are
more myth than a reality. People
must learn without delay only to buy
what they are able to pay for at the
time, and to live within their income
by good margin. Poor people must
not strive to live like those who are
worth ten to twenty thousand, and
the latter class must not be ambitious
to "pile on style" and put on erich
folks airs" Really the stringent
times, in our opinion, will prove a
great blessing in the South. The
scarcity of money and the difficulty of
getting livelihoods in cities and towns
will stimulate and compel industry on
the part of those who have never been
self-sustaining, and who, perhaps, have
been taught to frown upon those who
labored for a living. How many young
ladies arc there in Austin who have
often rebuffed the attentions of young
men with calloused hands and sun
burnt faces, and swcetly smiled upon
others with whittier shirts, more brass
and far less merit and genuine worth?
Will not the ''hard times" set
them and their parents to thinking,
and cause change for the better!
Will not some of the young ladies
themselves be benefited if the ''hard
times" cause the dismissal of cooks
and other servants, and they are neces-
STATED to practice Industry Ole may
as we'll wear out at work as to rust out
in id)eness. A deal of good can be
picked out of these ''hard times"if the
question but be looked at philosophi-
eally, and none can profit more BY it
than the ladies.
