IS advices state that the emigrant
N movement to Texas Is carried on in
w London by the Texas Freehold
Farm Aid Emigration Union under
species of lottery system, its sub
scription tickets selling In all parts
of Great Britain at two shillings
and sixpence monthly. The draw
ings are monthly, each ticket Sc
curing eighty acres, fenced, a
house with veranda, well of water,
team, some stock, farming tools,
and G1O worth of pro visions. with
from five to ten years to pay for
the same. The recently-arrived
English farmers came under the
III auspices of the Union. The Stand
ard says the selection of South
Texas is due to The exertions of DR..
Kingsbury, who year or two ago
was sent over by the Texas Rail
way Company to lay before the
farmers the advantage of taking up
sites along the railway. Kings,
bury is director of
the Freehold Farm and Emil
grafton Union. The Anglo Ameri-
can says: Trades Unions might
find it to their advantage to sup
port this Company and so utilize it's
organization as to make it of wide
n benefit to England's overstocked
labor markets. Many English
X manufacturers, looking about for
eligible sites. are turning their
thoughts towards America, believ-
+ ing the limit of manufacturing
III progress has been reached in Eng
4 land. Several English gentlemen
n are now visiting the Western States
n with the object of investing capital.
n The same paper says: The Nor
b mons are the only active emigra-
II ton agents connected with the
Il United States. Eighty missiona-
z ries came here last year, and in
y Europe there are now 400. The
i Mormons in England number
i 10000 and 5000 in Scandinavia. In
Switzerland there Is one Mormon
Il Conference and eight missionaries.

d smile. The line will be an impor t.
ant rival of the Panama railroad
"a and will be of immense advantage
