In is a disgrace to our home industry, a
serious reflection upon the boosted energy
and enterprise OF the American people, that
we Should be weekly importing from Great
Britain and Germany from two hundred to
three hundred tons of potatoes, besides
oabbages, sauer-kraut, celery, turnips and
carrots. America is the native place of the
Irish potato, and it ought to be like taking
Goals to Newcastle to bring potatoes to this
country, AS to cabbases, there is scarcely
an acre of land in Texas that will not pro-
ducc 10000 large, solid heads of cabbage
each year, and if it will pay to import cab
bagcs from Europe, why will it not pay to
raise enough at home for home consump-

Going 10 Blind,

The police found Il blind girl wandering
dimlessly about the oil works in East Dallas
yesterday morning. She said that the
night previous man, who gave his name
as Watson, had inveigled her away from
her boarding house on Elm street and
deserted her there. She stated that she was
from Baird Station on the Texas & Pacific
road and she will either be sent back there
or to the poor farm as pauper.

The English people, after making up
their minds to dig tunnel under Dover
Straits to France, now hesitate on the sug-
gestion that if their country and France
should ever go to war, and if France should
get possession of the English end of the tun-
mel, she could pour French army into
England. That is about like Mrs Toode's
door-knocker, and the reasoning and "ils''
are quite rs tenable and logical as that good
woman's. Why don't they put the propo.
sition the other way, and suppose that in
case of war England would get possession OF
the French end of the tunnel and pour an
English army into France" Such twaddc
is disgusting. A brigade of men and few
heavy guns could hold the mouth of a tun.
mel at will against any sized army that
could be marched into it from the opposite
end

Add about twenty drops of Darbys
lrophylactic Fluid to quart of water, in
bathing 1t will give the skin soft, pleas
ant and refreshing feeling and dispel the
odor that fever and perspiration leaves on

sprinkled over anything, place or vessel
where there is putrescence destroys at once
the germ of all animal or vegetable poison.

TnE Memphis Appeal of the 10Th inst.
has long editorial on "The Mad W!.irl OF
Speculation" 1t is well written, is tersc,
is logical, is fortified by strong arguments
and embellished with rhetorical flashes here
and there, but cui bono, we cannot help cx-
claiming. We may preach against specula.
ton until the crack of doom and not one
whit will 1t stop speculation. We may even
90 so far as to invoke the aid of Legislative
enactment, and still "the mad whirl" will
whirl on like Norways mWlstrom with O
ceaseless roar aud n remorscless cngulfinp
of all that comes within reach of its cur
rents. 1t seems rs though man needs must
have the excitement OF risk and hazard in
some form, whether it be the fcverish unccr
tainty of futures, the tempting ignis fatuus
Of stocks, or the damnins, soul-dcstroyinl
fascination OF cards and dice. We inveal
against it with might and main through
the press, from the pulpit and in cabnc
and council, but It is like gnawing file.

CheerIens Valley.

The valley Of the Owens river, Inv,
county, California, is said to be tn,
most forbidden and useless portion O
the American continent, yet it i
prophesied that it will be made fruitful
and that the gloomy OWenslake ints
which the river empties will become /
famous watering place. The valley il
Of volcanic origin, lying on the cas-
side Of the lofty range Of the Sierra
Nevadas. It's whole area is rough
rocky, barren and devoid of water save
in the channel of the river which i.
fed from the mountains. NOTHING
grows except sage brush.
There is not even a fringe of green
along the rivers edge. Rain hardly
ever falls, the moisture from the coast
breezes being condensed on the west
. de OF the intervening mountains. Yet
the soil OF this alkaline desert is capa-
Bile Of supporting abundant crops If
only water can be brought upon it.
This is claimed can be done for a con
siderable area all along the valley for
100 miles. The slope of the river bed is
so even and the natural conformation
OF its banks such that its waters readily
can be distributed over the fields
This has been done in numerous cases
and already there are neighborhoods
where groups OF farms are cultivated

A Typical Sporting Man.

When James Fisk, it,, was alive, he
was the hero of the rapid fraternity,
and when young Ned Stokes muir
dered him there was a cry of vengeance
from that set. But time changes
things. Fisk is dead and forgotten.
The fast men of his time have gone to
ruin. Stokes is alive and a free man.
The cowardice of the murder is for
gotten, aud the fact that he had the
nerve to face the gallows and didn't
break down when sentence Of death
was passed on him, makes him appear
a hero in the eyes Of the new set OF
gilded youths, and he is to-day
one Of the most prominent figures in
New York. He is thus described by
a correspondent Of the Hartford
Times: He is almost always to be seer
around the corridors or Office of his
hotel, seldom in the bar.room.
don't know how true it is, but it is
often said hal the owner Of the finest
bar-room in the world never takes a
drink across his own bar, and is never
known to drink liquor. Some say
that he made an oath if he escaped
hanging or imprisonment for life after
killing Fisk that he would never drinl
another drop Of liquor. He is tn,
typical sporting man, although b,
never drinks or CANDLES. TIL,
sporting men model themselves
after ed" Stokes. They assumI
his imperturbable, fold ex
preston, never showing surprise o
enthusiasm at anything. They imita'I
his richsbut quiet dress, and If theyar
so happy as to have i~ron-gray hair, ]
is an inestimable distinction, for ed
Stokes has iron-gray hair. Sine

say that Stokes bar has done the mos
profitable business in the country
