The Danubian Floating Mills.

Cor. New York Tnbune.l
The floating grain mills on
the Danube are perhaps its most
curious feature. Fancy two
canal boats moored parallel to
each other, in mid-river, about
fifteen or twenty feet apart, and
supporting between them the
crank of a gigantic mill-wheel,
turned by the current of the
stream. Fancy, moreover, the
sides of one of these boats car
ried up one-story higher than
those of the other, then rooted
over, a la Noah's Ark, with doors
and windows as needed and
you have a fair idea of these
Danube grain mills, some four
or FIVE thousand of which, in
groups of ten or a dozen to-
gether, and scattered along this
watery highway, all the way
down from Vienna to Belgrade.
Each mill is inscribed with its
owners maine, and found time
in passing. to copy one or two,
such as, "Juhas Istvany ces
Landos" and "Jonasvitch Ma
kopoponi," as being curious
samples of Magyar peasant
nomenclature. As the steamer
goes shooting by these mills,
so close that the slow "clack,
clack" of the mill wheel is dis
tinctly audible, it is amusing to
note the inmates looking for all
the world like Humpty Dumpty
in the play, rushing to their
doors or windows to wave a sa-
lutte and have a look at the pas
Sengers.

A Board Of Agriculture.

An Austin correspondent of
the Galveston News. in a lengthy
and well written letter, urges
the formation of a state board
of agriculture, and also gives
the draft of bill for that pur-
pose. The letter is clear, log
ical, and convincing. The OBJ
ject sought to be accomplished
is to induce immigrants to come
to the state; the board OF agri-
culture is to take the place of
an immigration bureau. A great
many people will, no doubt,
favor the establishment of the
board or something of a similar
nature, while the advocates of
ox-wagon transportation will
oppose it. Texas has too much
arabic land and too few farms.
immigration is the only remedy
for the evil. When the now
idle land is put into cultivation
and made productive the own
ers of it will cease to be land
poor. When our population
becomes more dense the neces-
sity for manufactures will be-
come apparent, and they will
be builtin numberless localities.
Let US have a board Of agricul.
ture or something that will ac-
complish the same end, say we.
1t makes no particular differ
ence what name is given, so
that the object in view is at
tanned.

SORGHUM SUGAR.

The New Orleans Times esti-
mates the consumption Of SUI
gar in the United States at
about two thousand million
pounds per anum. Of this
Louisiana produces only about
fifteen per cent. 1t says that
at the convention of sorghum
growers lately held at Spring.
field, Ill, sixty samples of SUI
gar made from the juice Of am
Der cane were exhibited. The
sugar was of good quality, and
compared well with sugar made
from sugar cane. The expert
mentors have met with marked
success. Several difficulties,
one of them cryStalizing the
juice, have been overcome.
The advantages of amber cane
are the large yield of sugar
and syrup and small cost Of cul-
tivation. 1t is estimated that
sugar can be produced at a cost
Of from three to four per cents
per pound. The Times thinks
that the production of sugar
from amber cane is destined to
become an important industry,
and in addition there is no dam
ger of over-stocking the market.
There is little doubt that there
will be a demand for all that
can be manufactured.
In this county the amber
cane was successfully raised
by several farmers last year and
all those who cultivated it re-
ported good yields of syrup
and the quality of it was also
good. In this section the am
Der cane possesses great advan-
tages; two crops or cuttings can
be made in season, one in the
summer and the fall and both
crops are said to yield about
equally as well. By the coop
Grafton of a neighborhood a su-
gar mill could be put in opera
ton by a limited investment Of
capital by each one. We pre-
sumo that the amber cane ex-
periments will be continued this
year and we will be happy to
publish results, if figures are
US.

PROSPERITY or

New Orleans Times.
The more census statistics
published the more shocks the
Republicans receive. When
the first figures came out and it
was shown that the South was
moving forward much more
rapidly in population than the
North, a howl went up from the
entire Republican press. which
cried out against a stuffed CEN
sus, as they called it. and de-
clared that as soon as Congress
met an investigation ofthe cen
sus frauds in the South would
be made. But this investigation
exploded this bubble and the
improvement and prosperity of
the South were established by
rows of figures so indisputable
that even the Cincinnati Gazette
gave up the fight.
The latest figures published
relative to the percentage of
increase OF the whites and ne
groes kill another Republican
issue, since they prove that the
negro has been doing unexcep-
tionally well in the past decade
that he has increased and pros
pered under Democratic rule
even more rapidly than the
white race, and that no country
on the globe can show a popu-
lation increasing as rapidly as
the negroes of the Southern
States. Figures on this point
are available from only fourteen
States, six Southern and eight
Northern ones. These statis-
tics show that the negroes have
increased SO per cent, and the
whites only 70 per cent. 1t is
impossible that the colored
people can have been ill-treated
prosecuted or driven from their
homes in the South, as the Re-
publican papers pretend. and
bred and increased as they
have done. They must have
been cared for, and we'll cared
for, too, for no race can double
its numbers in seventeen years
unless it is in a prosperous con-
dItion.
The heaviest increase Of the
negroes, 20 IL per cent, is in
South Carolina. from pAzch
State we had the widest stories
of the raids and outrages of the
"Red Shirt" clubs. The six
Southern States given show an
increase in blacks of 80 per cent,
while their increase in the eight
Northern States is only 20 per
cent. In Connecticut, Rhode
Island and in Massachusetts the
increase is far less than South
Carolina, North Carolina and
Maryland, evidencing the fact
that the negro thrives best on
this side OF the Potomac, and
is best cared for here, and that
emigration to Northern chimes
is injurious to him.
Should the increase of the
negro population be as high
throughout the Union as in these
fourteen States whose statistics
are at hand, the colored popula-
ton ofthe United States amount
at present to 6,743,ooo, having
nearly doubled since the war,
despite "the kukluxing and bull
doing" to which, according to
the Republican papers, it has
been subjected. The United
States census report will have
all the effect of a Democratic
campaign document. 1t will
show that the South is prosper
ing. and the negro is improving
with it.

credit Elliston for drink. He
stepped out and was shot by
Elliston, who a day or two af-
forwards surrendered and claims
that it was purely accidental.

= Thomas Ray, an old cit
izen Of Waller county, was

stenped up to to the elder Ray
aud shot him in the head with
pistol. The murderer escaped
as the difficulty occurred after

: Greedy No. 2, writes to
the San Antonio Express that
castor beans can be raised to
perfection in western Texas,
but until oil mills are establish
ed ne thinks it no use to raise
them Washington Co., stands
in the same relation to the wheat
crop. 1t is no use to raise
wheat as there are no mills to
grind 1t, and there is no use to
build mill because there IS no
wheat to grind. So long as
this feeling exists there will be
a dead lock in the cultivtion of
wheat and castor beans.

New Style in Dress Coats.

From London Letter
A rumor reaches me which l
hasten to communicate. The
word has gone forth that gem
tlemen's evening coats must
have baggy sleeves. The as
pect of ia certain portion ofthe
audience on the first night of
"The Mighty Dollar seriously
impressed me that, although
Turkish trousers might be all
very well in their proper places,
they are certainly not becoming
on the arms of gentlemen in full
dress. Still, as a young man
con6des to me. at shows that
a fellow is able to afford a dress
coat every season, which the
walters cannot. The back of
the coat, too, used to be cut
low; the collar turned down to
show collar and scarf behind.
Reaction has set in, and now
the collar is high, mounting up
to the very back OF the head,
until enduring nature can bear
no more. Here, also, is a mod
ern revival, reminding US of the
cut that was in vogue when our
grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers had their likeness taken in
silhouette.

considerable prejudice existing
in the laws in this state against
public graded schools, they
were looked upon with suspi-
cion, and great difficulty was
experienced in getting them in
successful operation. Brennan
was one of the first towns III
the state to adopt the system,
having established graded
schools in 1875: since that year
they have been in continuous
operation, having had a full
ten months session every year.
During all this time they have
been growing in popularity,
and each year the attendance
has been larger. The progress
made by the pupils has in the
main been satisfactory, and SO
popular haye these schools be-
come, that many families have
sought homes in BRENNAN for
no other reason than the facili-
ties offered by the schools for
educating their children. The
fame Of the free schools of this
city is co-extensive with the
state.
During the past year the
graded system of schools has
been adopted in Navasota and
in Bryan, both prosperous towns
on the Central railroad. A
few days ago we published an
excerpt from the Navasota
Tablet speaking in the highest
terms OF the schools of that
town and stating that they were
giving almost universal satisfac-
ton. At Bryan the schools
have not been in operation very
long, yet sufficient has been
seen regarding their operation
to justify the Pilot in saying;
1.-THE public graded school is
growing in favor daily, and is
looked upon with just pride, as
an institution whose develop
ment and growth will do much
towards building up Bryan
Similar commentators come
from every place where the gra-
ded schools have been managed
with any degree of ability.
Graded schools having prov
ed so effective in the towns the
question arises can they be IN
troduced in the country. In
the graded schools the pupils
are graded into classes from
the primary department up to
the highest grade, each class
uses the same text books and
studies the same lesson, by this
means there is competition
among the pupils of the class
and each Individual strives to
excel. By this means pupils
learn much more rapidly than
when the classes arc smaller and
a number of different text books
are used. Trustees of school
communities in populous neigh
borhoods would probably do
well to make a thorough inves-
tigation into the merits of the
system, with a view to introduc-
ing it where there is a sufficien-
cy of pupils to form classes. As
managed at present the schools
in the country districts are said
to be far from satisfactory.

Thomas Power O'Connor,
member Of Parliament for Gal
way, has returned from a long
lecturing tour in Ireland. He
thinks that the situation is
grave, especially in the western
district, where the people are
armed. He says that Fenian
agents are on the ground, but
they are comparatively power
less, as the Land League is
winning everywhere.
