co ntNG CROPS.
The situation More EncO uraging
Than Was Anticipated.

imam W ~ shnutctPoteu.
Chicago, April 10 Reports from all parts
of the western wheat region show an i'm
mense amount Of damage done the crop by
the severity Of the winter, but there
is not the slightest danger of a
general failure of the harvest on
that account. In msjority of the dis
tricts the crop is backward or in an unfavors
able condition, but the reports do not init.
mate failure anywhere, and 10 the fact tn at
good prices and handsome harvest for the
two or three past years encourage the
planting of largely increased acreage in
most localities there seems to be fair Offset
for the injury suffered. In o
great many sections the hearty
SHOWS of the winter furnished Invaluable
protection against the intense cold, and the
late sprngcontinued this defense through the
critical period of alternate freezing and thsw
ing Of March. Ga the whole the situation is
more encouraging than is generally believed,
and unless disastrous late frosts or other
unfavorable conditions materially i'm.
pair the present prospect, the yield, taking
the country at large, Is likely not to be much
less than last years. Illinois and Indiana
seem to have suffered more than any states.
The fruit crop will DO total failure in many
parts of Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and the
southern states. The trees in many cases
we're killed outright. The bee keepers suf.
'sred greatly also.

Mr.. V. Il Stevenson is reported TO have

The Texas and Pacific FIJI.

To the Editor OF the HERALD;
am not a very ready or graceful writer,
but I am somewhat of an observer and
thinker, and / think l have some sensible
views of some things. There are some very
important things in the affairs of mankind
that do not receive the attention due
them, perhaps, because they escape the at
tention Of polished and popular writers.
Better have good and even great things. in a
homely gsrb than not at sll. Inelegant rs
my diction may be. beg leave to call atten.
ton TO the embankment tho Texas & Pacific
railroad company is making, under tho
trestle, or. the west side of the river. This
work, fcompleted and made permanent, will
do much damage to individuals and the city.
suppose the company would be RESPONSE
Bile, but reSoveries would DO attended with
trouble and expense. No doubt but the
company has investigated this matter and
feels satisfied that 1t will DO success
and do no harm to any one but my
familiarity Wits the overhows of the Trinity,
from thirty years close observation, forces
the imIression upon my mind that unless
the embankment is completed, in an extra.
ordinary secure manner before rise comes,
the loas to the company will be very heavy.
This embankment 10 almost square across the
current when the bottom Is overflown, and
the weight Of waters will be such, in case it
raises over II, that no carth-work will with.
stand the torrent. l think 1t would destroy
1t, and with one or two fifty feet culver,s II
would be no better.
IT, however, II Is completed and made
secure. and culverts made under it. the
Dallas bridge turnpike will DO damaged by
every rise, and the bridge itself will be in
imminent danger. An ordinary "high--
water" rise will food the Petty farm and all
those around 1t, including Ervay, Browder
aud Others, and will overflow considerable
8 c,ion of the city on Dallas branch. IL will
do more than this, 1t will fill up tho sewers
that cross Ross avenue about the foundry,
and force tie water out into Main street
about the postoflice. With that en-
bankment there any ordinary high.
water rise will be equal to the
great rise of 1866 when the water rose TO the
dspth of twenty five feet in the bottoms, and
lacked very little of crossing Main street.
where the postofIice now stands. There
may be something about this that I do not
understand, rs a reason why the people stand
by and sec this dam built, but should there
como rise in the river to anythil like
what we understand to DO ordinary high
water mark, believe the embankment will
be swept away, or great damage will be
done to property. j. nj. y.

Baldwin, he had sunk In Wall street specula-
