Mr.. F. A. Ware gave us another
call this week, and desired us to
modify his statement in regard to
Texas, also that of his wife. He
says 'he did not mean to endorse
the entire statement of Z. D. NJ,
But only to say that the letter con
tanned "more truth than poetry
We still emphatically deny ever
endorsing the letter. Texas, we
believe, will compare favorably
with all new countries, and its
many disadvantagesw will doubtless
be more than couhterbalanced by
its advantages of cheap lands, rich
soil, etc. We will here state, that
we now have a brother in Texas,
prospecting, with a view to loca-
ting, and that his letters home
show he has high appreciation of
Texas and her people, where and
with whom he designs casting his
lot.

We are permitted to make the
following extract from a private
letter, from one of the most intel
ligent, patriotic, and useful citi-
zens of this State-the able agri-
cultural editor of the New Orleans
Picayune, Col. Daniel bennett, of
Brookhaven:
II am delighted with your in
dustrial college programme. 1t
gives me great hopes of Missis-
sippi. The boys are going straight
to ruin all over these States
And can we blame them? What
have parents and lawmakers done
to save them? How can they save
themselves? Give them plenty of
Starkyille farm schools; not third
heaven universities, and silk
stocking agricultural theories
alone, and then we may blame the
boys if they take to the corners,
and gambling and liquor shops
Train up the boys in the way they
should go. How can we do it
without the proper schools and
teachers The land is flooded
with colleges and universities, and
law and medical schools, and full
of lawyers and learning that will
not support a family or pay a store
account. We are paying the pen
atty of trying to dodge the injunc-
ton to make bread by the sweat
Of our brows. Shade trees, and
city life, and offices, and politics,
are not what we want. We have
too much of this already. Labor,
action, enterprise, sound knowl-
edge, arc our chief wants. May
God prosper the A. & M. College"

work by the failure of the Grange. That
organization failed everywhere from the
same causes. 1t had naught to do with
the methods OF agriculture It separa-
ted one great interest from all others
and was in spirit militant. 1t made war
on those engaged in trade and transpor-
tation, and in the attempt to break down

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE FEVER.

It was officially announced last night by
Dr. Austin, acting president Of the Board 81
Health, that there had not been new case
pf yellow fever in the city OF New Orleans
since July 2a-ten days ago. The doctor
said this augured we'll for the continued gooc
health of the city, and all fears ct an epidemic,
II, view Of the fact stated and the excellent
sanitary condition, were groundless. Where
upon the board passed a resolution, setting
forth that New Orleans was now entirely
free III yellow fever, and expressing the opin-
ion that all persons might safely remain In
The city. This authoritative statement Will
nut at rest the Thousand and one idle rumors
that have been oct aHoat by ambitious "spe-
saals," and will quiet the apprehensions OF
our country friends, who have not only hes
itated to enter the city, but have established
rigid guarantees against US. These, II may
DE- assumed, will now be raised, and business
with the interior will be allowed to proceed
without further interruption.

PUBLIC BATHS AGAIN.

The New York papers relate that during
the week ending ON Saturday last, no less
than 270, 600 persons bathed In the free baths
Of that city, and on that day alone 40, 900 men
and boys awaited themselves Of the privileges
Of these establishments or course u good
proportion of these figures is due to the fact
that the same persons used the baths more
than once; still the number OF individuals
benefited must be very great, and the conse-
quent good resulting to the general health
and comfort OF the poorer classes almost in
calculable
Cannot some humanitarians take hold Of
this project In New Orleans and keep the
question agitated until our humber classes,
men, women and children are supplied with
the same privileges in this respect enjoyed by
those Of New York? The man who shall
achieve this good work will need no monu-
ment to keep his memory green in the hearts
of the people. With our unusual facilities,
the immense river front we have. and the
comparatively small cost ut which floating
baths could be constructed, there Is no reason
why any human being in all our city should
not be able to enjoy a plunge in cold, clear
water any day during the long, depicting
summer. From o sanitary point of view
there can be no question Of the immense ben
efits to be derived from such privileges yet
II they only did no harm, the pleasure to be
derived theretrom would be ample argument,
even In these utilitarian days, for the estab-
lshment Of these baths.
We have already suggested that the Auxili-
airy Sanitary Association take charge of the
matter and push it to success. Perhaps that
body would not regard it as such sanitary
measure as came properly within the pur-
poses OF its organization, or upon which it
would feel at liberty to expead any of the
funds already subscribed for other specific
objects. Still the Association might solicit
special subscription for the purpose, and ask
an appropriation from the city, and thus
make the project success. They could not
render the poor people q more signal service
or do anything that would go further to pro-
mote the public health.

The sudden warlike tendency manifested
by China IS exciting some apprehensions In
England. The complete subiugation of Kash-
gar by the army under Gen. Tso and the adj
vance upon the Russian provinces of Kuldja
shows military spirit which the Chinese
were thought incapable of a few years ago
China is also said to be looking with longing
eyes upon Burmah and Nepaul AS the
Chinese make good soldiers when properly
officered and armed, their recent disposition
to foreign conquests may well be looked upon
with concern. They can bring an overwhem-
ing force in the field, and the Turk himself
does not display greater contempt for death.
