Why should any democrat desire thai
senators should be elected by the peo.
pie? The state rights theory is that the
representation in congress is of dua
character. that the house may directly
represent the people. and the senate the
states. The two bodies often act as q
check on each other. in such a manue,
as they would not do were they elected
IN the same way. Beside, the people can
know their congressman in the small
districts, but it would be much more
difficult to become thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the candidates Tor the senate
The calcium light of contest before a
legislature often brings out matters tina,
the people would never learn until too
late. In addition to this, large cities
would have an influence in the election
OF senators which they have not now and
which, from past experience, one would
judge they should never have. Better
let we'll enough alone.

WHERE OUR FORESTS ARE GOING.
From the Fishkill Standard. I


To make shoe pegs enough for Amer
ican use consumes annually 10000
cords OF timber, and to make our luci-
fer matches. 100000 cubic feet of the
best pine are required every year. Lasts
and boot-trees take 100000 cords of
the best birch, beech and maple, and
the handles OF tools 500 900 more. The
baking of our bricks consumes 1000, 900
cords of wood. or what would cover
with forest about $4,000 of land. Tele.
graph poles already up represent $780,
600 trees, and their annual repair con.
sumes about 800. 900 more. The ties of
our railroads consume annually thirty.
years growth of $4,000 acres, and to
fence all our railroads would cost $45,.
600 600. with yearly expenditure of
Sl5, 100000 tor repairs. These are
some OF the ways IN which American
forests are going. There are others;
our packing boxes. for instance. cost, in
1874, Sl2. 100000, while the timber used

8 A LETTER FROM TEXAS.
BAsTRoP COUNTY, TEXAS, !
January 10. 1881. (

January 10, 1881.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER 81 have
been in Texas eight years, and yesterday
and to. day reminds me more of old Mis-
souri, than any days l have seen since
have been here. Yesterday morning 1t
began to rain, then to sleet, and from
that to a snow which continued until the
snow was four inches deep. 1t was the
deepest snow which has fallen in this
part OF Texas for number OF years. In
fact. we have had the coolest weather
III the last two weeks that has been
known here for many years. There has
been ice three inches thick on the creeks
for fifteen days, which is something al
most unknown here before. The sun
came out bright this morning, and the
snow is disappearing very fast; one
more day and it will all be gone. Many
have asked me to-day if this was not as
bad as. Missouri. l could only tell them
that If the snow was eight or ten inches
deeper they might call it q snow. Ow-
ing toithe bad fall and winter. people are
behind with their work, many OF them
having cotton to pick. .s..ea, ,-..,
This is moving time, and every renter,
who is going to move must be out by.
the 10th OF January, or the owner can
then put him out. 1t has been very hard
on great many people to move this
bad weather.
Grass is as fine as can be, and stock of
every kind is doing we'll. Some cattle
are fat enough tor beet. Three-year-
old steers are worth $l5 per head cows
with young calves. $2O; two -year-olds,
$s TO $40; yeariings, S5. Pork is worth
SIX cents per pound, net, and there is
nothing like enough for home consump-
tion. -.sa ..-5
Our legislature meets tomorrow, and
our county has the honor of being repre-.
.sented by colored gentleman, who was
elected by the grecnbackers and repub.
licans.
just at this time this county is in need
OF Industrious and enterprIsing immi-
grants. A good blacksmith and good
physician could both do well here; but
what we need most are farmers-men
who are not afraid to work. The freed.
men here are buying land-land which
has heretofore been looked upon as
worthless for farming purposcs-and
leaving the large river farms to be
worked by some one else. Consequent
iy there IS great deal of land not vet
rented out. Land owners are offering
better terms this year than ever before.
There never was as great demand
for labor here as in the last six months.
Railroad men could not get hands to
build their roads as last as they wanted
to. Farmers had to pay ST. per hundred
for picking cotton. and many OF them
could not get hands enough at that
price to save their crop as 1t ought to
have been saved.

What makes my heart SO wildly thrsb I
I'm glad. not sorry-yet sob.
What ails me that I cannot rest?
He told me what partly guessed.
Why will the tears o'erflow my syesf ?
1t must have been the glad SUI prise;
Surprise to find 1 rightly guessed,
Delight to hear he loved me best.
A sudden jov affects like grief,
But with joys tuMult comes relief
To feel all fears are set ut rest,
AS when he drew me to his breast.
Oft on the slippery pave
This winter time has found me,
No ashes strewn TO save,
And cOal-hole lids around me.
The jokes, the jeers
That reach my ears,
- That ragged urchins mutter,
As standing there
tack and veer,
And then slide in the gutter,
When remember we'll
The times that Ihave stumbled,
Mid gtggle. laugh and yell,
As o'cr the walk l stumbled,
feel as though
Id like to 60,
With shotgun or with billy,
And beat or shoot
The mean galoot
Who keeps his walk 50 lily.
Thus Oh the slippery pave
This winter time has found me,
No ashes strewn to save,
And cOal-hole lids around me.
