The Farmer's Outlook,

For 1880, in Texas, lisa good one thus
far. But Texas farmers must not be
carried away by the high price of cot
ton. An exchange very properly says
1.-THE advance in the price Of cotton is
causing other interest to be neglected
and the entire energies of the farmer
to be concentrated upon cotton. There
is every indication that the acreage
will be unusually large. 1t is equally
evident that the cost of producing the
crop of 1880, by reason of the higher
price of everything required to pro-
duce it, including meat aid mules
will be much greater than that of pro-
ducipg the crop of the past year. when
labor and all supplies could be had on
much more favorable terms. Should
the year prove a disastrous one in
production, or should the price of cot
ton, by reason of over production, rule
corresponiingly low, it will require no
prophet to foretell the result. The
year commenced with such high hope;
close with disappointment and disaster.
While we do not urge the abandon
ment of cotton, we do urge the impor-
tance Of raising such stock upon the
farm as will secure cotton at the least
cost.
Every farmer should raise sufficient
hogs to produce his own meat. The
amount Of money annually expended
for western meat, if kept at home,
would tell materially upon the gener-
al prosperity OF the country. Also
Corn. The farmer who has reached the
point Of raising his own m,at, should
20 a step farther aud prepare to raise
everything he could grow to advantage
at home. The advantages Of, our soil
aud climate are such that we can raise
in Texas nearly every article Of an az
ricultursl nature. With milder win.
tiers and cheaper lands, a horsC
or mule in Texas cln be raised more
chezplY than in Kentucky or TenDes-
see. The basis Of cheap stock Is good

ing twelve thousand dollars, under the
civil damage act from saloon keep
The following is part of the story:
"The woman brought lawsuits
against the eight saloon keepers for
the harm done her in making her
husband n drunkard, and reducing
her from affluence to poverty. Most
Of them paid her something to stop the
suits. One of them stood out, and re-
sisted her claims to the end. The end
was that the jury condemned him to pay
ten thousand dollars to reimburse the
money her husband had squandered,
and two thousand dollars to pay for
punishment. The dealer complained
of this as unjust, because he on
ly sold beer and wine. and the wife
gave him leave to do SO, and because
twelve thousand dollars was too much

The Military Railway 10 The
Rio Grondo.

Private advices from Washington 60

way is meeting with much favor. Gen.
James W. Barnes, president Of the
company, is on the ground as he
has been for nearly two years, show.
ing the Importance Of this line, not on.
ly as a military necessity, but as the
greatest ciyilizing influence that could
be made to prevail on the border. As
stated, a few days ago, this enterprise,
as it now stands. is in the hands Of
excellent citizens Of Texas, who pro.
pose to use their best endeavors to do
all in their power, now and in the fu-
ture, for this state, aud we earnestly
hope they will speedily succeed in
their undertakings. The importance
of the line from San Antonio to the
Mexican border at Laredo is incalcu.
liable, not only to Texas, but to the
entire country. This rosd would con.
meet at San Antonio. with the Pierce
road and with the International, and
also, in time, with the Missouri Kan
sas and Texas railway, and within two
years after the bill becomes a law, it
is said, this military line to Laredo
will be completed. If this bill becomes
law, and the people of Texas devout'
ly hope for such a result, there will
soon be secured that outlet which we
have in vain hoped so long for, by
which the happiest results to both this
country and Mexico would ensue. For
years companies having lines Of rail-
way pointing towards the Rio Grande
have failed to meet promises, and it
has been demonstrated that the gov,
ernmsnt aid is one of the necessary
things to- be secured in accomplishing
railroad connection between to the
two countries, Now it appears that
Gen. Barnes active interest in build.
ing railroad to the border iusures its
success, and we hope every Texan will
aid in securing the passage, at an early
day, of the bill introduced by Mr.. Up

Miss. Stafford, the Patriot.
The End Life that has been One
Long Adoratlon of Uncle sam.


Miss Sarah Smith Stafford, the pa
triot and philsnthropist, died in Tren-
ton on Tuesday of last week. at an ad'
vanced age. Her life was remarkable
for its entire devotion to the republic,
to the memory of her heroic father
and the relics of The war of Indepen-
dence. Lieutenant James Bayard
Stafford, her father, was with Captain
Paul Jones on the 23d of September
1776, and in the white heat of the
memorable battle between the Sera.
pis and the Bon Homme Richard,
leaped into the sea, seized the flag that
had been shot away and planted it once
more at the masthead. This was but
one Of the brave deeds of tie lieuten-
ant, who served in the American navy
for eight years, dying at last from the
effect Of wounds received in Battle.
From her girlhood Miss Stafford was,
so to say, clad in petticoat Of red,
white and blue, with the pride of sin.
cerity. She assailed the ears of the
earlier statesmen at Washington with
her claim for outlays made by her
mother to help along the revolution,
and she got the money too, John
Quincy Adams, afterwards President,
Sam Houston and others of the old day
finding themselves spell-bound by the
eloquence of ancestral acts. When
the great rebellion came about Miss
Stafford could not go to war because
she did not wear trousers, but she did
what was better-turned over her for.
tune Of $1,000 in gold for the defense
of the Union, Many were the trials
of the dear old lady. for a few years
ago she was robbed of about SIS ,0OO
and left SO penniless that she asked
congress to give her a pension. Both
Senate and House passed bill for her
relief with such a whirlwind of cheers
as was never before. heard in the
chambers, Miss Stafford was the GUS
todian of valuable relics of of the Reyo
luton, as we'll as the only person Of
her sex who has been honored with a
membership in the New Jersey His.
torical Society. Her chief pride and
glory was that she owned the first star,
spangled banner ever made in this
country. The flag is the same thai
her father saved for the Bon Homme
Richard, It contained twelve stars
because at the battle only twelve oi
the colonies had ratified the articles ol
confederation. Among other relics il
the sabre with which Paul Jones hewei
his way to victory on the decks of the
famous cruiser.
