Texas, with an area of more than
$4,000 square miles, has a great varie-
ty of soils, but until recently but little
has been known of the country between
the Brazos and Rio Grande and north
of the thirty-frst parallel Of latitude.
Formerly 1t embraced the hunting
grounds Of the Apaches and Conan
ches. The wild horse, the buffalo, an
telope, bear, deer and turkey feasted
and fattened upon the rich grasses, and
were found In vast numbers. When
the Fort Yuma stage line was started,
and forts were located and occupied, adj
venturous stock men established ranch
es. Then the superiority of this vast
area was manifest as grass-producing
and cattls-grazing district. When in
1873 it became known that the Pacific
Railway Company were arranging to
push their road to speedy completion,
enterprising grangers began their en-
croachments upon the stock ranches.
All kinds Of grain, cotton, and vegeta-
bles yielded far better crops than had
been anticipated, and in 1879. when
drought had caused the grain and cot
ton fields in other portions of the State
to withsr and dwindlo away, they, with
poor tillage, raised fair crops, and this
years crop far exceeds that of 1879.

It appears to he probable that the
Russians have experienced check in
their operations against the Tekke Tur-
comas, who, as Lomakin learned to his
cost In 1879, are formidable antago-
nists. SkObelof has large force with
him-some $4,000 men-but the very
strength of the expedition is in one
sense its weakness. I'm June last, re-
solved not to repeat Lazareff's error of
delaying his movements till the deadly
summer heats had set in the desert,
Skobeloff advanced to Bami, and there
established his main depot. He also
made reconnaissance to Artchman,
two marches in front, but found that
region deserted. In July he pushed
on with q light column and conducted
. brilliant series OF operations, pene-
trating as far as Geek Tepe, where he
found fully 10000 Tekkes assembled,
full Of fight; but this nine days expe-
detion was barren Of important results.
An attempted coup de main In the ear
~ autumn when the crops were yet
standing failed, and now the Russians
have had tn turn back from Geek Tepe
once more, their movement against it
having been made partly for purposes
Of accommodating and partly to effect a
diversion from repeated attacks on their
communications. The news of the
junction of the two Tekke forces is
more serious. as it was confidently ex-
pected that the movements of other
though not strictly cooperating Russian
columns would prevent IL. While It IL
not likely that any grave disaster can
overtake Russian force so large and
under the command OF 50 accomplished
. general. its always brave and enter
prising foes will be encouraged and
strengthened and 1882 may come before
Skobeloff reaches his goal.

The new census suggest many inter
esting comparisons. The fifty millions
and more of people in the country last
July must by this time have increased
to ffty-one millions. New York State
alone has about one-tenth of this num-
Der; and central area Of six contiguous
States, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohi,. Indiana, and Illinois,
will comprise nearly nineteen million
people. New York, Pennsylvania, and
Ohio contain tweiv and u half millions.
Rhode Island has more people than
Florida. Illinois contains over three
million people, and IL now only 100, 900
behind Ohio, which it will probably
surpass in 1890, thus becoming the third
State in the Union. II Missouri be
counted henceforth among Western
rather than s ,uthern States, the most
populDus OF the latter will be Ken
lucky; but Just behind are four close
rivals, Texas, Tennessee. Georgia, and
Virginia, having esch over fifteen hun
dred thousand and less than sixteen
hundred thousand people. Texas has
raised her relative position on the sche-
dule Of States more than any other in
the past ten years. Iowa is one of the
rapidly growing States Of the North
west; she is far ahead Of Wisconsin.
Two States widely separated in geo.
graphical position were neck-and-neck
last July in population, and both had
grown surprisingly in ten years Kan
sas, with 995. 1886 people, and South
Carolina, with 995, FOG. By this time each
has more than million TO her credit,
30 making the States containing mil
lion or more people already twenty-one
in number.-Sun.

The closing exercises of the public
school were held yesterday afternoon by
Superintendent Scanland. The occasion
served to draw a moderate attendance Of
parents and visitors to the school-house,
who were highly pleased with the exhibit
ton, consisting Of Rotations, dialogues,
pianoforte pieces and songs. All the de-
partments Of the school were present, and
from the infant class up to the members OF
the Grammar Department., the numbers
that were given showed evidences Of care
full study and training, which is highly
creditable to both scholars and teachers.
According to the public school regime a
four months vacation ensues; but three OF
the teachers Mesdames Atwood and Mars
den and Miss H~obart-who have been
kindly granted the use of the s~chool-house
by the Trustees free OF charge, will open
private classes and m operations
on Monday, June 5. In view OF the long
vacation, parents should encourage and
maintain these private departments until
the regular system comes into vogue again.

The second representation Of this must
cal comedy last evening confirmed OF
opinion Of the first performance, that it
was a very agreeable and amusing enter
tainment, full Of those pleasing things
which make IN audience laugh. not only
by their absurdity, but because they are
rendered in an artistic way and are given
with an ease and naturalness that mark
professional talent. With only one or two
exceptions, the company is composed Of
specialists, who are worthy to rank with
the very best Of their class. The ladies
are handsome. have pleasant voices, to a
degree, and are withal fully up to the COM
edy business. They show a keen appre-
citation OF the humor which surrounds
them, and have filled their dresses to the
glove-ftting point through thegood nature
that beams from every glance. The gen.
tlemen merit distinction in their profess
sion. Mr.. Dunbar Is q splendid singer,
and a better, clearer and stronger voice
thar he possesses has not been listened to
on our boards. Mr.. Waldron is gifted with
dramatic power and force, and it is really
q pity to see such talent thrown
away on burlesque. Mr.. COPYRIGHT is a
yeritable star in minstrelsy, and is an EN-.
tire show by himself, but we submit that
an artist who has such q fund of good
things in his repertoire should not confne
himself to the pigsty. Calico, Hughes and
Tannehill are all excellent in their way.
OF Mr.. Sheridan. who heads the list Of
this constellation, we have already spoken.
We expected to see more changes in the
specialties last evening, but we suppose
they were reserved for tonight. Those
that were given were exoellently rendered,
particularly the scene from the opera Of
a. Faust" Those Of our readers who have
not seen the company have missed q rich
entertainment, but an opportunity will be
afforded them this afternoon and evening.

Our Reasons.

In fact. we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to know how we sell Goods 30
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
versants with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, and therefore
know the texture of any piece Of Goods. and
market all the time know when they see q
piece Of new goods, and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed of
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
90 we buy our goods for cash we get . certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some Of the reasons why we
sell 80 cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lessening our expenses. If we
had to keep . set Of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.

PACIFIC COAST ADVICES.
Suicide Of Captain Fritz-A Meeting
In Regard to h Employment Of
Chinese, for che Purpose of Driv.
Ing Them Out Of the County.

Especial to the s~EsTINEL.l
SAN Francisco, May IA. j. Fritz, a
prominent local Democratic politician and
Captain of Gatlin Battery, N. G. G., sui
cided at his residence last night by hanging
himself to the bedpost. The cause is sup
posed to be temporary pecuniary embar-
rass ment.
SAN Francisco, May ~. When the
body of Capt. Fritz was found hanging to
the b~ed-post, and the fact that handouts
were on one wrist and shackles lay on the
bed, which had evidently recently been on
his ankles, excited great curiosity, which
was partly satisfied by the explanation that
they had been put ON by his wife at his re-
quest, as a serio-humorous device to keep
him from going down town. 1t has since
t%ranspired that Mrs. Fritz had so confined
him on account Of mental arrangement,
owing to financial troubles and excessive
use Of liquor, and that during her tempo
rary absence he hung himself with q small
chain which had been used to bind him.
BoDIE (Cal.), May ga second meet
ing in regard to the employment Of Chin
ese was held on Wednesday evening, and a
resolution was adopted to organize at once
to drive the Objectionable people out Of the
county. About forty men, armed, left at
an early hour this morning for the Chinese
camp, about thirty miles distant. In the
meantime the railroad people sent acourier
to the camp, and had the whole outfit,
with their supplies, transferred to the
island in the center Of Mono Lake, by
means Of the only steamer on this body Of
water. When the armed force reached the
lake they had no provisions, or very little,
and nothing but alkali water to drink; their
situation was very disagreeable. delega-
ton returned to town on Thursday night.

which to obtain provisions for the besieg-
ers, but are meeting with very slim sue
cess. The crowd is made up mostly Of ir-
responsible characters, and have not the
sympathy Of the people. They are not Of
the Miners Union, who repudiate any con-
nection with them.
VIRGINIA, May S-The east section of

A Tuscarora Man Goes Twelve Days
without Food.

About three weeks ago Bob Clark, an old
street cleaner of Tuscarora. wandered on into
the hills in Q state Of intsxication and was
given up for dead. He has since been found.
The ZINES Review says: "a few days ago
Dick Dorsey, o. r. Rogers and q number of
other stock men from Elko came up on
Susie Greek to hold q rodeo. On arriving at q
cabin which is used as q camp during the rodeo
season, the party ound 1t occupied by old Bob.
who was nearly dead from exposure and hun.
ger. He was barefooted and hatless, and
Clothed in nothing but q pair Of tattered panta.
looms and q ragged shirt. He was so weak that
he could scarcely stand, and could not possibly
have lived many hours longer without relief.
He was given q small quantity OF light nour-
ishment at intervals. until his stomach was
able to bear stronger food, but 1t was several
DAYS before his digestive organs could be edu-
Gated up TO the standxrd of q square meal. He
says that he had nothing whatever to eat from
the evening before he left the camp on the
Elko road until he was found by the rodeo
party, which was nearly twelve days.
