The remarkable capacities of the
southeastern counties Of this State for
what may be called garden farming, or
the raising of early fruits and vegeta-
bles, deserve to attract attention. The
small and careful farmers of the States
east of US are better acquainted with
this business than our own farmers are.
The vocation is a profitable one, and is
growing more 80 every year as the de-
mand for early fruits and vegetables in
large cities increases, and additional
railroad connections with these cities
are provided. The Iron Mountain
railroad with its branches, one to Ar
kansas the other to Belmont on the
Mississippi, opposite Columbus in
Kentucky, traverses Jefferson, Wash
ington, st. Francois, Madison, Boiling
er, Scott, Mississippi, Iron, Wayne and
Butler counties, placing them in easy
communication with the city of st.
Louis: and the daily packets on the
Mississippi river below the city
place the counties of Jefferson, Wash
ington, Ste. Genevieve, Perry, Cape
Girardeau and Scott in tn same easy
reach. These counties are varied in
their topography; they possess upland
and bottom land, ranges of hills inc!os-
ing narrow valleys, each generally
with q stream of water running
through it, and wider open and level
areas along the rivers. The soil is un-
usually deep and fertile, and the eli
mate mild. The staple crops are corn
and the smaller grains, the yield of
corn in the valley lands being go to so
bushels, and Of wheat 25 to 40 bushels
per acre. The whole region is adapted
to general farming, but its advantages
for fruit and vegetable cultureare wor-
thy Of special attention. One Of these
advantages is the early season with
which it is favored; and this will be
understood when we state that in sew
eral Of the counties peach trees were in
bloom ten days ago, the oats crop is
sowed and farmers have been blowing
for corn for q week.-Mrs. while the up
per half of Illinois is yet covered with
snow and the rivers in that section are
bridged with ice eighteen inches thick.
Many of the counties of Southeast Mis-
souri, abound In rich valleys inclosed
by ranges of mineral hills, which shell
ter them in the winter and protect the
fruit buds in the severest weather
The fact that, while in the northern
part of Missouri and throughout the
West peaches. cherries and other fruits
We're killed by the excessive cold of the
late winter, peach trees are now in full
bloom in Southeast Missouri, shows
the adoption of that region to fruit Gull
ture. Some of the finest peaches and
melons brought to the st. Louis mar
ket come from the southeastern coun-
ties; but the business has been over
looked, because the farmers are main
~ occupied with staple farming. AT
no distant day the Iron Mountain rail-
road will be lined with flourishing fruit
and vegetable farms, whose products
will reach the st. Louis market two or
three weeks in advance of the products
Of orchards and gardens Immediately
around the city. and the lands that
now sell at S. to $l5 per acre will he
worth i've times these piices.-Reptb-
licun.

Dividing Up Texas.

There is talk of dividing Texas
into four or five States. II arises
out of n provision agreed upon ut
the time Texas was admitted into the
Union, that no more than five States
should ever be made out OF the terri
tory but we do not believe the State
will ever be divided. People like to
belong to big State, and no one
wishes to lessen the power of the
political organization of which he is
member. They may talk of cutting
up the State, but they will finally pre-
fer to keep it all together, and make
it the biggest, most populous, and
important commonwealth Of the I'm,

We think that Ingersoll himself
must acknowledge the truthfulness
of the following from tho New York
Graphic: "When great griefs come,
materialism has nothing to offer for
consolation. 1t Is II naked sign post,
pointing the way only to hope
lessness and desolation. 1t believes
in nothing but what it sees, and it
sees very little. It is weakness itself
in the face of its misery. 1t resorts
to the gratification-ef>tho lower appe-
tites to drown it's SORROWS, and by so
doing blries itself deeper and deeper
in tho slough of despond. AS it
scouts at prayer, it destroys the only
step by which the soul may lift itself
up to those high planes Of thought
and feeling whereby being becomes
no longer the slave of earthly pleas
ure, and wherein tho world, tho flesh
and the devil are put under foot.
Without this state attained, perma-
nent happiness is impossible"
