The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1882-03-02

THE bureau of statistics of the
treasury develops the fact that there
are twenty-five ports of entry in the
United States where not a dollar of
customs duties was collected last
year, and thirty-two districts in
which the expenses exceed the re-
ceipts. And yet all these mock
ports have collectors and clerks on
salary with fine offices, luxurious
furniture, and enjoy the possession
of many expensive comforts deemed
necessary to the life of the average
United States official. 1t is this life
of ease and luxury and dependence
that is so much coveted by the fel.
lows who tried to get up the con-
vention at Fort Worth.
MANY may be surprised to learn
that good many Texas horses are
now finding their way to European
markets. They are very much like
the Arab horses in endurance, and
the French soldiers find them the
best for light cavalry purposes.
French agents are now in this
country buying, and at st. Louis
and other places they pick up all the
best Texans for forwarding across
the Atlantic. The horses
are to be shipped to
Havre in patches of two hundred
and fifty at time. These American
horses, as shipper says, are just the
thing to carry a Frenchman into or
out of fight, as they are hardy and
spirited. Three years ago two thon-
sand American horses were shipped
to London, to the Metropolitan
tramway company, and a letter is
quoted from Mr.. G. A. Smith, chair
man of the company, to the effect
that "the American horses are the
toughest and most hardy. &C any
that we can get. would give two
French horses for one American
one, any day" Of course these
horses are only partially pro-
cured from Texas, but were
they offered just now at the great
horse marts of the country In large
numbers, they would command
ready purchase. The English breed
ers are not pleased at this trade in
American horses, for it adds another
reminder of the superiority of the
American horse. Americans have
beaten the English on the turf,
and now American horses are adj
ding greater efficiency to continen-
tai armies, thing not pleasant to
contemplate on the western side OF
the Channel.

COMPARATIVE ATTENDANCE.

Wheeling is emphatically a manufactur.
ing community. Nothing makes this fact
more evident than the showing Of the per-
centage Of the youth enumerated which
attend school. Among the lower classes
family necessities compel parents to put
their children to work while still at
school age. In these wards peopled most
largely by the industrial masses the per-
centage is smaller. as will be seen. The
enumeration shows the youth between the
ages Of six and twenty-one, and, consider
ing the type Of the city youth, large per.
ccntsge attend school. The showing Is as
follnws.

There have been about three hundred pu.

teachers are appointed as follows: One for
Madison and Washington, each receiving .
