SOME OTHER DAY.

Though all your dreams have been
shattered,
Your idols been overthrown,
Though all your hopes have been scat
tered
Like leaves by the tempest blown,
Grieye not rs if broken hearted ~
ger pleasures that come no more,
For the sunshine with which you
parted
Some other day will restore.
Though the path that your foot now
traces
Has wandered away, 10 doubt,
From the smooth aud flowery places
Where early you started out;
Though the vessel that bears your
treasure
Makes grievously long delay,
Let patience fill up her measure,
And wait-till some other day.
Some other day will be brighter
Than this that is full of gloom;
The clouds in the sky be lighter,
The roses in perfect bloom;
And the trials that now perplex you
The thorns that beset your way,
Will have no power to move you,
Perchance, on some other day.
Though now you are passing under
The rod that is harsh, yet kind,
Some other day you will wonder
How you could have been SO bllnd
As not to have seen the token
That off to the eastward lay,
The sign of the promise spoken
At tie darkest hour of the day.
For Grief and Joy have their season
They flourish and then depart;
Bind for all these trials the reason
VIII appear to each aching heart
Some day. So, l pray YOU, remembe
When grieving DER lost delight,
TIE year is not all December,
Some other day will be bright.

EDITOR CRY ITEM
Your kind favor of seventh inst.,
making Inquiries relative to "the
capabilities of our soil and climate
for cheaply producing jute," wss re
ceived in due time.
My attention is also called to the
Especial to the Times Democrat of
March 6, from Washington, D. c."
concerning statement made to Mr..
West W gentleman who claimed
TO be we'll acquainted with the cul-
tore OF jute, that fifteen pounds OF
American jute only produced about
three pounds of fibre. This propo.
sition is not very clear to me. il
the idea to be conveyed is that fif
teen pounds of jute stalks will only
yield three pounds of fibre, the cal.
culation is no doubt correct; but il
only the envelope or cover of the
stalk which contains the fibre is un-
derstood, then the statement is err
roneous. ..
In the accounts I have read of jute
in Asia, it is put down as attaining
the height Of ten TO twelve feet, the
stalks being the size of little fin,
ger. In our section, when sown
broadcast, the jute will grow from
twelve to fourteen feet high, and the
stalks are generally somewhat larger
than that grown in India. Wher
sown in drills, | have grown stalks
that wonld measure Two and a hal
inches in diameter, and over sixteer
feet in height. I have obtained frou
one stalk alone four ounces of clear
fibre, equal to Russian hemp. Tn,
aame year, 1881, l sold four bales o
clean fibre in New York at Al @
cents per pound.
1t must strike the casual observe
that if jute will grow taller and lar
ger in the aIluvial lands Of Louisi
ana than it does in Asia, that ouI
section is as we'll adapted to its cul
ture, both as regards climate aut
soil, as Asia and probably more SO
That we grow better quality o
cotton in this country than they Dc
in India, cannot be disputed. Why

Scarcely man, old or young, ever hears

either want OF opportunity or absence OF
thought in that particular direction,
and the latter is by far the
more frequent than the former. A
genius-or whatis precisely the same thing,
successful man makes his own oppOrtu-
mites, He gives his mind TO this special
idea, cultiyates IL, peritcts IL and finds II
place for il at once. II isprecsely thus with
regard TO the improvement Ofour live stock
Let us take the shorihorns as representing
the beef cattle 0hd the Jerseys as the tyr
of dairy stock. These breeds have
both been made. At one time they were
the common faces Of their locality scrubs
just as we call our common stock. But
men conceived the idea oiimproving them.
Bates and his neighbors in the north OF
England bred the shorthorns, and few
farmers in the island of Jersey
cultivated their race. And now
these two breeds are the most
noted and valued of cattle. Ii will not do
to despise popularity. There is something
always back of success in everything, and
il is wholly wrong to think the men who
have paid thousands of dollars for short.
horns and Jerseys were fools, with whom
their money was soon parted. And every
farmer may learn lesson from the facts
and suggestions which we have offered We
have really excellent native" race of
cattle, which we in our carelessness, not to
say ignorance, are content to call Scrubs
But, like the modest retiring farmer who is
rarely seen or heard of, but his work keeps
the world a-going these scrub COWS are
doing q vast work. They produce
every year a thousand million
pounds of butter and four
hundred million pounds OF cheese. And
yet no one has ever taken them-"by the
hand, " we were about to say-with an in
tention Of elevating and bettering their DO
sition in life. But noble blood flows In
their veins; the best of 1t, for out of it have
come all the noted breeds. And il is
quite az ameuable Us theirs TO improve

every year until he doubles the product Of
his cows This is not difficult to do il the
right way is taken. The way we have
been pursuing has been the wrong
one, No matter what animal is
used when calf is wanted, the

despised scrubs that in spite OF such treat

the system OF water-works Is not ''msg.
nihcent one." now. whatever It may be In
the near future, and II must be that the
FIRE department is entitled TO the credit for
the establishment OF such insurance rates
as we have The members Of the depart
ment cannot therefore, in justice to them
selves or the city, the coming week undo
or mar the good work done, and reputation
made by them heretofore.
We do not know who are the prominent
or most popular candidates before the
department this year for the responsible
and executive positions, and care not who
may be selected, further than that they be
experienced, capable men. Neither tie
department nor the city, or citizens, could
afford TO have this efficient protector OF the
properly interests Of Dallas turned over to
incompetent or inexperienced hands. Ju,t
as in every other important trdst, business
and common sense demand that those men
be kept or be placed in control who best
understand the things TO be done and the
manner OF doing them. A certain degree
of experience, or what may be termed
technical knowledge, is demanded in th c
extensive offices Of fire depart
ment. Any man cannot be isrked up
and placed in control with the as =
surance or promise of successful and tfli-
cient discharge of the duties OF such posi-
tons simply because he may BIO popular
or good fellow. We want honest, capable,
lnthlul, quick and experienced men in
charge Of the fire and police departments
Of city government, and If such are not
selected, somebody must suffer. II is Tor
this reason, therefore, that we call special
attention to this pending election, and
trust that the members of the companies
may feel properly the importance of the
question before them. 1t is an election and
an occasion of all others where iavoritism
popularity and preiudices should be ignored
entirely. and the results be reached by
calm calculation OF the personal
experience and fitness of each
OF the officials TO be selec.
ted. For some little time to come, in al
probability, this city may feel sadly the
want OF an adequate water supply and
must in consequence depend more abso'
lutely than ever upon the fidelity, dispatch
and efficiency Of our fire department. We
have so far escaped anything like wide
spread or unusually disastrous condagra'
ton, that accompaniment of so many new
towns expansion and dash, and II is sin
cerely to be hoped that we may continue to
enjoy such immunity from the attacks
of the "dey9uring ilames," but we
can only hope to do 30 by the
continued excellence OF our liremen
and their officers. Everything appears to
be working admirably 80 far and as before
suggested, let nothing be done to clog tn e
wheel or impair tine efficiency, strength
and skin OF the department. The matter
Is one of the utmost significance and lIyest
interest to the city, and is of no nature to
admit Of experiment, iealousies rivalrIes
Jr Indifference. When the department acts
let II give us good, faithful, experienced,
honest and capable officials, either the old
li1cumbcnts, or new ones equally ns goo a.,
or even better.
