the progress of your grand expert
menf in The cause of science and hu-
manity. After correcting the too
common error that Texas is filed
with naught but low and thieving
specimens of the human race, we
would suggest that here are the most
refined and civilized people in the
United States. They are filed with
enterprise and adventure to the larg-
est extent of which Anglo-Sax-
on blood is capable. They rem

worthy and remarkable in ma

and usefulness, not the least ofwhich
is the remarkable beauty of person
attached to its ladies. We are one
of these ladies, and we this day

only for the reason of the refnarka-
BILE experiment and consequent rep
utation, but for the economy of a
husband whose self-sacrificing dis
position will always insure peace
and plenty at home.

The publication of the Hancock
letter TO Gen. Sherman has excited
a desire to see the Sherman letter to
Hancock that provoked it. When
the Republicans heard that Sherman
had written letter to Hancock in
1876 and received reply, they in
stantly jumped to the conclusion that
this reply was fat with treason, and
they demanded that it be made pub
lie. 1t was made public, and the Re-
publicans were disappointed, for it
proved to be patriotic, wise and
statesmanlike paper, creditable to
the heart and head of the man who
wrote it. But it seems that there
was pretty general correspondence
carried on about that time. Gen.
Sherman wrote to all the leading Of
ficers of the army commanding de-
partments, and must have received
replies from them all. Why not have
the entire correspondence? Han
cock was not ashamed of his reply
and the other major-generals ought
not to be ashamed of theirs. The
public have a natural curiosity to
know why Gen. Sherman began this
important correspondence and what
his object was-what scheme he
medltated that would be affected by
the cooperation or opposition of the
department commanders. This Gu
riosity ought to be gratified; the
whole correspondence ought to be
given to the public.
