TALKING about emigration to
Texas, the Nashville Banner says
the great bulk of the people who
leave that section come back again
with all spent except the payment
Of railroad ticket. Speaking to the
same point, the Chattanooga Dis
patch says that during the month of
December last it was estimated at
Little Rock that four hundred immi-
grants from Texas passed through
that city daily, and they came back
in a most destitute condition some
by rail, some in wagons and on foot,
carrying what little household goods
they have along. Most of them look
as if they had gone through hard
ships, hunger ard cold. They gen
orally told the same story, and ad
vised their friends who talk of going
to Texas to stay where they are. -
They say that they found Texas
the best place in the world for
hard work, and no place for poor
people.

Fortunes CHANGES "A remark.
able change of fortune, both good and
bad, is reported from Cologne, Ger
many. In 1852 two young Com
munists, Becker and Burgers, after
a trial, in which all Germany was
interested, were sentenced to six
years imprisonment, and served out
their time. The chief witnesses
against them were police inspector,
a constable and lieutenant in the
army. The lieutenant afterwards
abused trust, ran away, and finally
shot himself; the police inspector
also committed suicide; and the con
stable, though still living, is broken
down in health and poor. Of the
two~criminals, Becker is Mayor OF
Cologne and member of the Prus-
sian House Of Peers, and Burgers is
member of the Lower House and
is highly esteemed.

that mayor ELY had hnaily disposed OF the charges
