MISSION VALLEY NURSERIES
Twelve Miles from Victoria, Tex.

These Nur. cries have claims upon the people of
western and southern Texas that cannot be urged
by any other establishment t
To give to western and southern Texas list of
fruits adapted to the climatic requirements is the
object to which the proprietor has devoted his life
He has been able to bring to his aid the advantages
OF early horticultural training, and by the expend-
iture of twenty thousand dollars in experiments
upon our own ground-Dy close observation and
study through the quarter OF a century during
which horticultural study, experiment and labor
has been his leading pursuit-he has been able to
become acquainted with the peculiar wants of our
very peculiar climate.
Taking advantage of the principle we'll established
by physical geographists, viz that all fruit trees
are improved by being carried toward their polar
limit and that they are deterorated by being car
red toward their equatorial limit-he has made his
experiments and established his nurseries farther
south than any other general nurseries in the United
States. He sells no cap northern trash to his
customers His trees and plants are therefore bet
ter suited to Texas culture an Ii ose # any other
establishment in the world.
Our nurseries and grounds embracing about Go
acres in horticulture will be freely shown to visit
ors every day but Sunday.
Orders for trees and plants received by mail or
through any of orr authorized agents.

THE recent publication of Gen. Cox:
letter to President Garfield, while the
latter was member of Congress, adds ma.
terially to the complications in the Fit2
John Porter case. Gen. Cox. a man
thoroughly conservative in character
tells the late President that after care.
full examination of the subject, with
the aid of excellent maps, he considers
the Judgment of the original court just
and sees no reason for reversing it; and
Gen. Garfield. in reply, says that ne has
endeavored ito separate himself from
the case, and to look at it intellectually,
as though it related only to the pieces
on chess-beard," and has reached the
some conclusion. Two such authorities
will prove strong support to Senator
Logan, and will go far to neutralize the
efforts of PorteT's friends for his vindi-
cation.

POETRY.
Hermes Trismegistus
BY HENRY wADswoRTH LoNeFELLow

As Seleucus nsrrates, Hermes desert
bed the principles that rank as wholes
in myriads of books; or, as We are In
formed by Manetho, he perfectly un-
folded these principles in three myriads
six thousand five hundred and twenty
e,o volumes Our
ancestors dedicated the inventions OF
the wisdom to this deity, inscribing all
their own writings with the names OF
Hermes-LAMBLICUs.
Still through Egypt's desert places
Flows the lordly Nile,
From its banks the great stone faces
Gaze with patient smile;
Still the pyramids imperious
Pierce the cloudless skies,
And the Sphinx stares with mysterious
Solemn, stony eyes.
But where are the old Egyptian
Demi-gods and kings?
Nothing left but an inscription
Craven on stones and rings.
Where are Helius and Hepheestus,
Gods of eldest cid?
Where is Herr Trismegistus,
Who their secrets held?
Where are now the many hundred
Thousand books he wrote?
By the Thaumaturgists plundered,
Lost in lands remote;
In oblivion sunk forever,
As when DER the land,
Blows a storm-wind, in the river
Sinks the scattered sand.
Something unsubstantial, ghostly,
Seems this Theurgist,
In deep meditation mostly
Wrapped, as in mist.
Vague, phantasmal and unreal,
To our thought he seems,
Walking in world ideal,
In a land of dreams.
Was he one, or many, merging
Name and fame in one,
Like stream. to which, converging
Many streamlets run?
Till, with gathered power proceeding,
Ampler sweep it takes.
Downward the sweet waters leading
From unnumoered lakes.
By the Nile 1 see him wandering,
Passing now and then,
On the mystic union pondering
Between gods and men;
Hxlf-believingawholly feeling,
With supreme delight,
How the gods, themselves concealing,
Lift men to their height.
Or in Thebes, the hundred-gated,
In the thoroughfare
Breathing, as il consecrated,
A diviner air;
And amid discordant noises,
In the jostling throng,
Hearing far, celestial voices
Of Olympian song.
Who shall call his dreams fallacious :?
Who has searched or sought
All the unexplored and spacious
Universe of thought?
Who, in his own skill confding,
Shall with rule and line
Mark the border-land dividing
Human and divine?
Trismegistusl three times greatestl
How thy name sublime
Has descended to this latest
Progeny of tinel
Happy they whose written pages
Perish with their lives,
If amid the crambling ages
Still their name surViyesl
Thine, o priest of Egypt, lately
Found in the vast,
Weed-encumbered, sombre, stately
Graveyard of the Past;
And a presence moved before me
On that gloomy shore,
As watt of wind, that DER me
Breathed, and was no more.

DRY GOODS MARKET.
BY TELEGRAPH.

New YORK, March 1O.-There has been
a more active market with agents and job
bers, and all classes of goods shared the at
tention and selection OF buyers. The reduc-
ton in bleached cottons resulted in very
much improved business, while the distrib-
uting trade of the past twolmonths has so
broken the jobbing assortments that new Sc
lections are absolutely necessary. Through
wants OF this kind all grades Of plain, colored
dyed and finished cottons have been selected
with more freedom and to the extent of a
large business. In bleached sheetings many
styles have been reduced, as annexed: Con-
gress 34-inches 74c, Extra heavy Congress &c.
inches &c. Lilly of the Valley SIC, Bellows
Falls 36-inches life, Amazon 36-inches &c,
Allentown 36-inches sc, Howe Manufacture

better selection. Dress goods fairly active.
Hosiery and underwear in steady delivery.
Kentucky jeans and cottonades quiet Elan
nels in seasonable request for regular quail
ties, but dress qualities in large request.
White goods and quilts in wide distribution.
Wool goods in order request for autumn Sc
lections, but deliveries on maturing orders
very free. Foreign goods fairly active in ali
departments, especially for silks and white
goods. Linen goods in steady request for
small assorimenls.
