title villsges gcirg to and from
their fields morning and evening, and while
tisrs, in France, the demands Of the state
upon the peassntry are few, and they are
not tempted by the honors or the emolu-
ments of public place, aspiring to no civil
distinction and being warmed into no per,
soaal ambition. as is the case to greater or
lesser degree in our country, still in one
particular we could wisely pattern after
France. Those people owe their universal
prosperity to the tact that small farms are
the rule and not the exception. We have
too many large farms in America. 1t ia true
that with our sparse population as compared
with our area Of DOMAIN, large farms do not
iufriaSe upon the necessities of the populace;
they do not prevent anybody from
having farm who wants one.
Yet they are not so remunerative prop ortion-
ately as small farms. They are not suscep-
tible of that high and thorough cultivation
that the small farm is. They are too wieldy
aud the farmer cannot concentrate his
energy or his skill as he can upon fewer
acres. For illustration, there is not an acre
ofgrain land 10 North Texas that cannot
readily be made TO yield thirty to forty
bushels of wheat, but tho wheat grower
prefers to put in seed on one hundred acrcs
and with partial cultivation raise lfte
bushels to the acre, thsn to put in only f
acres and by giving it the same labor o.
hundred requires of him, raise thirty
bushels per acre. He does
not calculate that he saves money in seed
and in various other ways by concentrating
his energies and his skill ON fifty acres rather
than diifusing them over ono hundred acres.
With fee simple titles and judcous home.

rupt or power ty-stricken can ever know
what famine is, or suffer from financial

THE TEXAS CONFEDERATE GENERALS.

In our list Of confederate generals, copied
Yesterday, from the Houston Post, from a
list furnished by Mrs. Jane M.kell, of Charles
ton, 8. O., We pointed out several mistakee.
But after interviewing several generals
.miliar with the facts, we make the follow
ing additional corrections: l. General
Albert Sidney Johnston, the second in mill
.ary rank, on the organization of the con-
federate government, was a Texan from
1886 to hi. death, and should be credited 10
Texas in any such classification. OF briga-
dior generals, Ben McOulloch was the first
one q pointed from Texas. Gen. Horace
Rsnia oil was killed in tho battle of Jenkins
Ferry, Arkansas. Allison Nelson, who died
in northeast Arkansas, was q
brigsdier general, but died be.
fore his commission reached him. John
X, Baylor was not confederate brigadier,
but had authority to raise and command a
"a brigade. which be did not succeed in doing.
4. S. q. Il ,bertson simply held commission
to orgsnzs the militia Of his district. lie
was not, strictly, brigsdier Of militia John
Baylor (not John NJ was brigadier of mi
li.ia, but never held any command in he
field. General Richard Warehouse hiss been
dead several YEARS. No Richard Harrison
was brigadier from Texas, nor any one
bearing the name of Randolph. Gen. j. W.
Whitfield died two or three years since. We
noticed the omission of the name of Gen
Louis I. Wigfall from the list. But Others
were omitted, as generals II. NJ. Gano,
uincheA P. Mabry, and we have no doubt
a number of others, but have not time to
make the necessary research now. Mrs,
Mikel Of Charleston, has done good work
IN her collection but has been led into the
| errors mentioned.

A DAsTARDLY attempt was made by
some miserable wretch of an incendiary
to burn the National house on Tuesday
morning last. The wretch saturated
the side of the wood shed In the rear OF
the kitchen with kerosine oil and then
fired it. Very providentially this hap
pened just upon the arrival Of the 2:l2
a. m. express north. Arthur SwayZe,
of the National was at the depot walt
ing passengers. Orrin Vaughan ar
rived home from Howard City upon
the train, and looking up town discov-
cred the light. Vaughan and Swayze
ran to the hotel, and got there just In
the nick OF time. SwayZe loosened the
boards OH the wood shed with an ak
and Vaughan ripped them off. A few
pals of water finished the fire, and the
work of the iDcendiary was frustrated.
The light Of the fire also awoke Mr.. j.
M. Reed, who ran out upon the street
and yelled fire several times awaking
those in the neighborhood. Before the
alarmed neighbors arrived on the
ground however, the boys had extin-
guished the fire and all danger was
past. TIE help who sleep i'm the hotel
adjoining the woodshed became panic
stricken, and one of the girls, Miss
Fee, Jumped out of the window, one
story, and was slightly injured.
The scene of the attempted incen-
diarism was visited by every citizen as
they came down town in the morning
and heard of the attempt.
Had the hotel burned almost the en-
tire town would have been destroyed.
The building is such a large and COM
bustible structure that it would have
made an intense fire, which would
have communicated to all adjoining
buildings.
There is no clue to the attempter o.
this diabolical piece Of villainy.-Ree
