Admiral Conrad reports that battalion of in
fantry and detachment Of artillery are ex-
pected from Sfax to replace the marines who
had occupied Capital island and Dyerbor ISL
and. This is south Of 6fax and much nearer
the Tripoli frontier. Admiral Conrad thinks
the appearance of the squadron before Ear
zfsh will be necessary in order to form cor.
rect opinion of the state of affairs in this part
of the .seaboard, the inhabitants of which
seem very hostile. This will bring the French
still nearer Tripoli.

City Railroad company's land department has
concluded lerge transaction, heretofore men.
toned in the GLOBE, which will lead TO the
early occupation and cultivation of about all
the wild lands left in Osceola county, Iowa.
Osceola county lis on the line of the st. Paul
& Omaha railroad. adjoining Minnesota, and
the second county from the Dakota border.
st. Paulis its best market, and Its improve
ment is therefore matter of Importance to the
city. The transaction referred to is the sale for
cash and transfer, by the st. Paul & Sioux City
land department to the; Iowa Land company,
limited, of sixty three sections or &c, $40 acres
of railroad lands. The land department of the
Milwaukee s. st. Paul company, which had an
undetermined claim upon the lands, or part
of them, is Joined amicably in the transfer,
and the purchaser receives clear title. The
up capital of .E500, 600, and with its stock
listed on the London stock exchange, is COM
posed of English capitalists, and is an out
come of the visit to this country, few
months ago, of the Duke of Sutherland. The
plans of the land company include the bring
ing out next season of about 100 families Of
English farmers, for whom as many houses,
four to a section, will be provided. The
company will also break fifty acres
Of land for each family, its intention
being to first break 200 acres at the
center of each section aud to locate four
houses accordingly. About eight Thousand
acres will be broken next spring, and this
work will be carried forward until the whole
purchase is under cultivation. Furthermore,
the company proposes to bring over from
England large lot of thoroughbred stock
horses, cattle and sheep. The scheme, as it
stands, will tend to add greatly to the pro-
duction and wealth of the northwest counties,
while the chief danger to be apprehended
from large owners is lessoned in this instance
by the fact that this company will give the
right of purchase to each of its tenants.
Close Bros. & Co., the famous colonists, of
LeMars, will be local managers of the prop;
erty for the company, and the affairs for the
oolony to be sent out by the members of the
company resident in England.

A FEMALE CAs.ABIANCA.

The girl stewed on the burning deck.
For Rockaway she fed:
The sun, which blazed down on her neck.
Turned all her tresses red.
Yet innocent by pa she sat.
While chances shy and warm
Shot from beneath her saucy hat
At every manlke form.
Pa left to see friend. he told
And then her smile was sweet
On Mr.. Jones, who growing bold,
Took by her side a seat.
The boat rolled on--Jones would not go
Without her fathers word,
That father at the bar below,
Her laugh no longer heard.
She called not loud: " Stay, father, STAY,
Until thy task is DONE"
She knew too well the old mans way
Uaeon scous OF her fun.
The wind had freshened to gale,
The boat tossed on the sea;
"Oh Miss" cried Jones, why art thou pale :
Why talkst thou not to mel
Speak, maiden once again" he cried;
. Art ailing Tell me quick.
And but the dropping maid replied,
"0h, IL feel so sick"
Upon her brow there came his breath;
He smoothed her frizyiei hair
She looked for all the world like death
He looked like grim despair
She murmured but 6nce more aloud;
oh Jones, a basn-quick!
Not one was LETT, for in that crowd
Each female too was sick.
Oh, where was gallant like to Jones;
Or rather one SO fat
With one heroic smile he groans:
Here, darling, is my hat
There came burst of lightning sound;
The girl-ohi where was shel
spelling Jones's hat, which crowned
His cup of misery.
Oh knights of old and heroes rare,
Oh! lovers think Of that;
The noblest thing which persisted there
Was Joness new silk hat.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-03-24

SIMON CAMERON, the stalwart Re-
publican, thinks that in many sec
tions of the South the negroes are
being over-educated, and he fore
sees great danger to the whole
country in this. The negro youth,
he says, were getting enough educa-
tion to unfit them for work and de-
velop their vicious qualities, and
this is converting them from what
they should be-laborers-into
sharpers. He thought this should
be prevented, if possible, and ad-
vised the North to do as much as it
could to prevent this over-educa-
ton, and particularly he counseled
it not to be too generous in its do
nation of assistance to negro
school and college schemes. All the
plans and ideas for preventing the
progress of the negroes seem to
come, just at presnt, from the Re
publican side of the house. 1t was
a Republican paper which proposed,
some time ago, to dimish the power
of the South by DISTINGUISHING the
negroes; it is Republican leader
who proposes to take from them
the educational advantages the
Southern states offer; and it is
Democratic Legislators and state of
ficials that have discovered that the
best thing which can be done for
the negro, is to collect taxes and
convert the money into education
for a coming generation of great
men, that must overshadow the
race that Edward Atkinson placed
so low in the scale of humanity.

THE DECISION AGAINST THE Ma
flE... TIONAL BANKS.

The action of the cabinet as to the
proposed withdrawal of legal tender
deposits for the retirement of circu-
lation is well known. The banks
proposed to defeat the refunding
bill by the plan they adopted, and
when it was defeated they We're
anxious enough to get back their de-
posits. Secretary Window replied
to a New York bank president as
follows:
"It seems that since the 10Th ulti-
mo about $19.OO0,0OO of legal ten
ders have been deposited by banks
for purpose like that mentioned by
you. Of this amount about one
million was returned by the Treas
urer, request therefor having been
received before any redemption of
notes had been made or the security
bonds delivered. In such cases, the
transaction being incomplete, the
department had clearly right to
return the notes, as has been done.
OF the remaining amount-about
$13,OOO000 the security bonds
therefor have either been surrend-
cred or redemptions against the
amounts deposited have already
been made, and the transactions
have been SO far completed that it
has been decided that the prece-
dents of the department in similar
cases should be adhered to. and no
return of the legal tenders be made.
In this connection it should be stat
ed that no apprehensions of unfav-
orable results need be entertained
in this matter. Since the 25th ulti-
mo the department has paid out for
bonds purchased about $5,550,OOO,
and is to-day paying out on like ac-
count an additional amount of So
100000. In addition to these pay
ments there has been advanced from
the treasury since the 1st instant, to
meet the payments of arrearages of
pensions, the amount of $7,583,844-
S3, and on the 1st proximo there will
fall due of interest more than seven
million dollars, and there are
on hand of incomplete national bank
notes, which can be issued at once
to banks, the amount of 100000,
which in the aggregate, IL will be
observed, will take an amount from
the treasury largely in excess of the
amount of legal-tender notes which
has been deposited by the banks
since the nineteenth ultimo, and
which it is now desired should be
returned. Letters have also been
received asking if the identical
United States bonds, held as securi-
ty for circulating notes, which were
recently withdrawn by the national
banks, can be redeposited.without
transfer. This request will be grant
ed if the bond bears no assignment
except that of the Treasurer of the
United States to the bank returning

NOT THE TIME.

THE Mexican National Railway
Company, the charter for which has
just been issued, absorbs the Corpus
Christi, San Diego & Rio Grande
railway. This road is to be a part
of the narrow gauge system, which
has been inaugurated in Mexico by
the Palmer & Sullivan party. From
the Nueces river it will go eastward
to Victoria and to Wharton, to
Richmond and thence to Houston,
connecting there with the narrow
gauge system towards st. Louis,
The line is also to have branch into
Brazoria county, and it is probable
the systemmay draw its supplies, re-
ceived by ocean, through the Brazos
river. This system will embrace
also what is known as the Texas 6
st. Louis railway, which will form a
division line from Northeastern
Texas through Central Texas and
towards the Rio Grande, traversing
an almost unexplored country in
Western Texas between the Colora-
do river and the lower Pecos.
Thence this line must proceed to-
ward a junction with the lines in
Mexico. Truly it is not the time
just now to interfere with the grand
railway projects, destined to de-
velop Texas, in the next ten years,
into a state with 100000 people.
