1t is now claimed that Capt. PAYNE is
in the employ Of the ST. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, and that this com.
pany is furnishing him the money nee.
essary for him to carry out his exploits.
In getting it's lin" through the territory
it is of vital importance to the st. Louis
and San Francisco to have the western
portion which does not belong to the
Indians opened for white settlers, and it
can we'll afford to keep Capt. Payne in
it's employ at round sum to keep no
the agitation and create public feeling
in the wish for the opening of that part
Of the territory. But aside from this
the st. Louis and San Francisco has q
still greater object in view, and this 10
nothing more or less than to capture for
this line the bulk of the heavy Texas
cattle trade and prevent the cattle being
driven through the territory to points
on the Atchisor, Topeka and Santa Fe
and other Kansas roads. Since Gould
obtained control Of the st. Louis and
San Francisco the emissaries of this
road have been hard at work in congress
and among the Indians to secure the
right of way. Capt. Payne has again
taken up his work in agitating tor the
opening of the territory and he will no
doubt be furnished with all the funds
necessary to make his raids as effective
as possible, and to create public feelings
in favor Of the scheme, and to create the
impression that the creation Of Okla
homa territory is . public necessity,
while in fact it is nothing but scheme
on the part Of Jay Gould to gobble up
the Texas cattle business.

The RazOr-Back Hog.

From the Planters Herald
To the traveller through Texas one
OF the strangest and most peculiar
features of Landscape is the razor
back hog. He is Of the Swiss cot
tage style OF architecture. His phys
ical outline is angular to degree I'M
known outside Of text book on the
science of geometry. His ears, or the
few rags and tatters OF them that the
dogs have lett, are curled back with
a knowing vagabondish air. His tail
has no curl in it--but it hangs att,
limp as wet dish rag hung out OF a
back window to dry. The highest
peak of his corrugated back is SIX
inches above the level with the root
of his tail. He does not walk with
the slow and stately step OF the pas
trician Berkshire, but usually goes
in lively trot. He leaves the inn
preston that he was late in starting
in the morning and is making up tor
lost time, or that be is in doubt about

The Resurrection Plant.
From Gardner'S Monthly.

From Gardner'S Monthly.
A very old plant was recently
given to me that is a native OF West
ern Texas. The roots and leaves
seemed perfectly withered and dead.
l placed it in a goblet of water, and
liz a few hours observed that the
plant was absorbing the water and
returning to life. The leaves when
whithered had the appearance of a
loose half-head OF cabbage. AS the
plant revived the leaves untolded,
and, finally. when entirely resurrect-
ed, it lay perfectly fiat; the color
rich deep green, and the leaves firm
in texture and arborvita-like IN ap-
pearance. The plant seems to be
neither moss nor fern, apd yet is like
both. After the resurrection l planted
it in earth, and unless water is kept
in the saucer, the leaves begin to curl
up. These plants can be kept dried,
they say, for five years, and then
when planted will revive and grow.
l think they will prove admirable
plants for ferneries and aquariums.
The plant referred to is no doubt

nella, and which is often brought to

Postal InfelicIty.

There were some mad men in a

into the letter box addressed to "Rev

an ordinary card, aud the postmaster
was an vordinarY postmaster. He
took it up, glanced at the address,
turned it leisurely over and read :

shelf, and the few worms lett on the
dried leaves can then be removed by
hand, and the first tray cleansed OF
its dried leaves, &C., and be ready
for the next feeding. Healthy worms
will commence to spin in about 30 TO
So days, and show by their move
ments when they are prepared to
spin, by a restless motion of the head
and the emission of fine silk thread
from their mouths. AS soon as they
show signs of this, they must be re-
moved at once TO the spinning box
or cells. AS regards the spinning
boxes, have used very simple ar
rangement, which consists OF small
boxes with pasteboard divisions about
24x24 inches; into these | put the
worms as soon as they show signs OF
spinning, and cover them over with
strips of pasteboard or heavy paper.
The cocoon is complete in about six
days, ard you can then destroy the
moth by exposure to the sun Tor tour
or FIVE hours, or by baking in an oven.
These are the marketable cocoons !

cut out the value of the cocoon is cut
down about 80 TO IS per cent. | find
that alter the worms have reached
the age of ten days it is best to give
them the tull twigs or small branches,
as this secures better ventilation and
keeps the leaves fresher for long
er time. Always give leaves as fresh
as possible-wiltcd or stale leaves

paid this matter as much attention
as my limited time and means would
allow, and from practical experience

peculiarly adapted to our State, from
the fact that the Morus Multlcaulis,

which are acknowledged the best
silk producing trees, grow readily in
all parts of our State, and all very
hardy plants.

raise several crops OF cocoons during
the season here, which is a long one.
