Congressman Lanham's District,

Congressman Lanham, of Texas, has
Congressional district covering as
much territory as that represented by
six other members Of the house. It in
cludes one hundred and twenty Thousand
square miles, and is as large as Ohio,
Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Delaware, and Maryland combined. It
has two hundred thousand population,
and through some parts of it one can
ride all day without seeing house. Mr..
Lanham tells me that the rapid devel-
opment of Texas is unparalleled. "Tex-
as is" says he, *tthe great oosmopolite
state of the Union, and there is not a
place in the habitable globe 80
good to live in. Our population comes
from every state Of the Union, and our
citizens represent every nation of Eu-
rope. There is no sectonalism in Tex
as, and the northerner is as welcome as
him of the south. Our climate is de-
Gghtful, and we can raise crops of all
kinds. Real estate is rapidly increasing
in value, and there is little good agri-
cultural land now to be bought for less
than 81 per acre. The people are
building better houses since railroads
have permeated the state, and the
day Of the adobe has gone BY. Lum-
Der is cheap. When j came to Texas,
just after the war, i paid ten dollars d
hundred for common building pine.

The disjo;nted productions that pass
for letters in these degenerate modern

reason why girls who can speak French
and German should not be able to write
English. Many young ladies who have
had smattering Of reconcile science,
and who have dipped into the gram
mars of one or more of the ancient and
half a dozen Of the modern languages
are still unable to write letter IN their

In 1873 we are reminded by the Bos-
ton Transcript, everybody was busy,
mills and factories were running at
their full capacity, quick salesand large
profits was the general rule, wages were
high, money was in active demand, and
bankers and merchants exchanged con
fding smiles. Never was there a
bluer sky nor fairer sea. So when
the Ohio Life and Trust Company shut
up shop, in 1857, or when the author Of
the maxim, IA national debt is the ma
tional blessing" showed, in 1878, that
his debts were q private curse for his
creditors, everybody was stunned, and
few recovered breath in time to take in
sail before the storm was upon them.

off without thanking the man, and
they won't speak to the man when
they meet him. He couldn't account
for it till he went to take the board
