Poor English Nob,smen.

Lord Chelmsford is probably the
poorest peer of the realm. His privste
means certainly do not exceed SO, 200
a year, aud he has no expectations.
His second brother is cavalry officer,
married, and with children. The next
is a j Idge with a salary of $25, 900 and
childless, the only sffluent member of
the family. The fourth son is one nf
the L ord Chsncellor's secretaries. The
late Lord Chelmsford had for over
twenty years an income of $50, 600 to
$75, 900 from his practice at the bar,
then became Lord Chancellor, with q
salary of $50, 600 and pension of $25,
600 on reti.lng. Yet though he lived
to eighty-six, he left but $3.50 0f0. He
was domestic man, deYoid OF vices ;
but he had a wife who wss resolved to
vie in the fashionable world of l. )ndon
with persons having hereditary iuccmes
of $3.50, 900 and upward. OF three
daughters, Two married men with few
hundred year, and the third is single.
The sons have nos married women of
fortune. -Four thousand dollars year
Is all that Lord Chelmsford can proba-
bly, now look forward to. Probably
tie next poorest peer to Lord Chelms-
ford may also be found in Zlluland in
the person OF Lord Gift ,rd, grandson
of another law lord, gallant young
fellow who won the Victory Cross in
Ashantee. The British army contains
very few wealthy men past forty.
Numbers of rich youths enter the
guards or crack csvaly regiments, but
retire on their fathers death. Yelling
ton and Marlborough were younger
sons.

DAIRY MAxiMs "A Q, RESP oadent OF
C0uAtry Gentleman avs down The fol-
loving primary rules which should
never be lost sight of By farmers who
expect to profit fIom their cows: 'SThe
butter-pro iucer should keep COWS
specially adapted to butter making.
He should feed generously. have his
cows come in early, and milk until as
near calving as possible. M unruly or
vicious COWS should be kept. Dogs or
brutal men should not be allowed ne 7
the stock. He should eudeavor to pro-
iuce the largest possible yield of but
ter per COW. He should adopt a stsnd-
ard aud keep no cows that fail to come
up u that mark. He shUu'd raise
heIfers only from his best C, W.. Ana
they etcu!d be proI ely fed while
growing, ter il they are s,unted it mat
tiers little of what breed they are. The
butter should be of a quality to fiud a
ready sale and at the h'ghess price. L
the butter buyer fiads fault with the
quality and declines 10 give the highest
price, then there Is failure somewhere
it must be looked after"

less cattle every year, hogs being found

x. Y. T., In the STATESMAN of the
sixteenth instant, not being satisfied
with the answers given to his first in
terrogatores by ''your fair correspon-
dent" again asks if it can be shown by
Christ's own words,
81. That he died to satisfy the de-
mands of the broken law or to suffer
the penalty of our sins, or that the
shedding of his blood would wash
away the guilt of human transgression.
"2. That was Christ's mission as
stated by himself"
As X. Y. q seems to be earnestly in
search of the truth, will give the fol-
lowing as some of ChIist's own words,
and hope they may be the means of
opening his understanding to true
knowledge of the beauty and sublim
ity of the Christian faith:
John ill.,, IA, Is, 16.-Aud as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the son of man be lifted
up. That whosoever believeth IN him
should not perish, but have eternal
life. For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son that
whatsoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
John IL, So am the resurrection
and the life. He that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live.
Mark Z, 45.-For even the SON of
man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister and to give his life 9
ransom for many.
Matt. XVI. 2S.-For this is my
blood of the New Testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of
sins.
A part of Christ's mission on earth,
as stated by himself, was to fulfill the
(Mosalc) law and the prophecies and to
call sinners to repentance. See Matt.

HumOrs of the Day.

Man can subdue the elephant, the
lion and the rhinoceros, but the tiger
generally gets the best of him.
Another horse thief was found en-
tangled in a tree out West the other
day, and the coroner's jury said it was
a neck-cident.
The man who waslks "a thousand
miles in q thousand hours" is more gen.
orally admired than he who walks up
rightly through three score years and
ten.
The firm way in which Mrs. Langtry
has met her culumnistors convinces the
New York Herald that she must be pos
sessed of a good deal of the true belle
metal.
The Zulu lady wears her wedding
ring in her nose. A double purpose Is
thus served. It discourages promiscu-
Gus kissing, and she is in little danger
of losing her ring. She always nose
where it is.
Queen Victoria's annual income from
all sources is SO, $50, 900. Aud yet, out
of this pittapce, it is understood that
all the children have been provided
with copper-toed shoes for the winter,
and the royal wood-pile was never in
better shape than at present. This
shows what woman can do in the way
of caring for her fstherless children.
They finger by the brookside no Ion
ger. No longer by the sunsets ruddy
glow do they, hand in hand, stray
down the leafy path contemplating the
beauties of nature and the loveliness of
each other. By the gaslight's feeble
flicker, with the genial warmth of the
parlor register pervadIng, they sit and
sigh the hours away. IT is love. It is
lovely. IT is lovelier far than it will
be when in future years the cold chill
of indifference takes p ,ssession of their
hearts, and they have first-slsss ''jaw"
every morning as to who shall be first
to step foot upon the frigid oilcloth.

COLEMAN, November -, lNFa-
The town of Coleman, The county
seat of Coleman county, was located IN
July, 1876, and the first house built IN
Se ptember or that yesr. a. that time
the population of the county did net
exceed .hIee hundred, composed al
most exclusively of cattle men. There
was but one store and one postr ftiee.
A carefully prepared and accursieiy
taken census of the town, recently
taken. shows its present population TO
be 493. -Four hundred and eighty five
white persons and eight negroes; sixty
eight dwelling aud tbirty-three BUSH
ness houses and offices. II has five houses
of general merchandise, two family
groceries, one drug store. one furni-
rants, two livery stables, three saloons,
two boot and shoe shops, one saddle
shop, two blacksmith shops, one wagon
and carriage shop, one milliner shop,
one barber shop, two meat markets, six
physicians and dentists, eight lawyers,
three land agent firms, one watch
maker and jeweler, one newspaper aDd
iue prospects OF good one being pub
lished soon, one telegraph and sigral
Office. It has a daily stage mail from
Fort Worth and Fort Yuma, New
Mexico. q weekly mail from Brady
CITY, Trickam, San Saba and Camp
Colorado. Il has three churches, a
Masonic and Odd Fellows lodge,
md a Temperance Council of nearly
100 members. The mel cantile trade of
the town within the last twelve months
amounted to $3.50, 900. In addition
to this the business men of the town
have shipped 55 600 pounds of wool
and driven to market 1900 beef cattle.
The first sheep were brought to the
county about three y.ars ago. The
wool crop of this and the uuoTganiz=d
county of RunneIs, which joins this
county and trades at this place, for the
present year amounts TO $50, 900
pounds. Within the last two yesrs
many farms have been put in cultivs-
ZION, and the yield of corn, wheat,
oats, rye, barley, sorghum and vegeta'
bits has beer highly encouraging. A
very large portion of the county is
adapted to agricultural purposes. A
Dumber of coal beds have been dIscov-
ertd in different parts of the count y
from which the blacksmith shops OF
the county are supplied. Biologists
agree that it xists In vast quantities,
and is Of superior quality. Salt is
J manufactured in the county on small
scale, aud there are indications of eli
yer and other minerals. The deposits
of IRON are said to be quite extensive.
The business of Coleman demands a
good banking house. To show
that such an enterprise would
be profitable it is sufficient
to refer to present and prospective
business, of the town and country, and
the fact that during the next year
there will be at least $3.50, 600 worth
of beef cattle sold in this, and the
counties west trading at this point, be-
sides all the wool, mutton and general
mercantile business of the country,
land sales, etc. Its mails and tele-
graphic facilities give it superior bank
ing advantages over ether frontier
towns. To all who are seeking loca-
ton, we say come and look at ouI
country. j. o. r.
