The prospectus of the Springfield Re
publican appears in our columns to-day.
Those who expected to see the Repub-
Ican's usefulness cease with the death
of the senior Mr.. Bowles, are disap-
pointed-either happily or otherwise;
for the paper never seemed so useful or
fourishing as at the present time. If it
has lost some of the forecast for which
Mr.. Bowles was remarkable, it has also
lost some of the bitterness. Those of
our readers who want newspaper that
gives all the news, and who can bear to
see their party and favOrites sharply
criticised, to such we can heartily rec
ommend the Republican.
The CONGREGATIONALIST ad-
vertisement of this valuable religious
newspaper-the leading paper of this
denomination in the East-appears in
another column. To those who desire
an able religious journal, sound in the
faith, without isms, or schemes, other
than the incubation of sound doctrine,
morality and religion, we most cheer
fully recommend the COngregatiOnalist.

fluence, and excellent in every way
See its prospectus, and also how cheap
it can be obtained in club with the Cal

The Scientific american is the leading
paper of this country for inventors

cyclopedia of itself, and an educator
worthy of place in every family OF

appears in this number of our paper.

The Woes of a Texas Emigrant.

With the bad times of course has
come the restless desire for change of
residence aud occupation by labOrers
and mechanics to better their condition.
Often, doubtless, the improvement is
attained, but not always. Agriculture
has drawn many of this class from the
towns and cities-either into the neigh
ing country or to the new states west
of the Mississippi. These men risk all
by such move and sometimes the re-
(Ct.) workingman who owned little
home there but sold out to try his for
tune as farmer in Texas, comes back
after losing all with lugubrious story.
1t is perhaps drawn in somewhat black
er colors because of personal failure and
disappointment than the facts will war
rant, but there is reality in the expe-
rience which has no doubt been dupli-
Gated by other similar unfortunates.
Gin the first place." he says, "Texas is
completely alive with red ants. You
cannot pillow the land unless there has
been heavy rains to soften it; when it
is dry you cannot pillow it more than
you could stone quarry. My two
sons in my presence last March under
took to break up one acre of new land.
They worked with a double mule team
three days and only broke up half an
acre and then gave up as there had not
not been rain enough to soften the
ground. When you are blowing you
will be obliged to carry small shovel
or something to clean the plow at each
end of the fuIrow as the dirt sticks to
the pillow like wax. You may open a
furrow and let it lay few hours to the
sun, then put the seed into it and cover
it up, and that seed never will come up
as the sun draws all the moistness out
of the ground. The only successful
way is to plant almost instantly after
the furrow is turned. When corn is
planted after it gets up so you can
weed it you will be obliged to pull out
every stalk but one in hill. This is
on account of the drouth which is q
regular yearly occurrence. If you leave
more than one stalk in a hill and d
drouth comes you will have nothing but
nubbins. have just received letter
from Texas and it says from 20 acres OF
cotton they will only get six bales
That would be $50 pounds per acre
The changes in the weather are sudden
and great. In the damp spells you
may hang up your clothes perfectly dry
when you go to bed and in the morning
you will almost declare that they have
been wet. When you go to bed you
will not want much clothing on you but
about midnight it will be so cold that
you will require blankets. If there are
any persons going to Texas would say
| to them do not believe one word of the
documents that the railroad ticket
agents will give you as there is not one
word of truth in them"

UNITED STATES NEUTRALITY.
LONDON, May 4.--The Times, commenting Oh
the appearance in United States waters of the
steamship Cambria with Russian officers and
men On board says: '"There are good reasons
why we should regard proceedings of this kind
without alarm. The chief one is that the Unit
ed States government, which has always prided
itself on fulfilling its neutral duties, has been
placed under special obligations in this respect
by the Washington treaty. By virtue Of its
rules We were condemned to pay fine Of three
million pounds for depredations committed by
the Alabama and her conaorts, and the United
States by accepting that fine have further
pledged themselves to observe on their cwn
part the new rules of the treaty. 1t was an un-
welcome penalty to us at the time but we have
the advantage of the additional protection now.
We may in fact be confident that the United
States will act honorably up to its obligations
in this respect and the Russians will conse-
quently find it difficult to execute the enter
prises they appear to have planned.
