Hints to Immigrants to Texas.
For The Faxs Panss

For The Fnrs Pass.
In the first place, they must not come too
late in the fall to Texas, for our farmers
commence blowing in January to prepare
for next crop. Next, Think II advisable to
rent land the first year, it gives them
chance to look out for good situation. and
perchase also better bargain in cultivated
or uncultivated lands.
Again, they must look Of the topography
surrounding. They may put 1t down as an
invariable rule, that sections well timbered
have moro regular rain fall than extensive
prairie lands, also where they find plenty
prickly pears, mesquit trees, or only
mesquit shrubs, and plenty of rattle snakes,
that is surely section subject to droughts.
Also in Texas, when we have thunder
storms, we have real tropical rains, 1t does
not rain but pours down. Little branches
that have been dry few hours previous
may rise in o few hours from five to ten
feet, and run in the upper country ct fear
full rate.

branches, the trees or brush by trash in
drifts will show the high water mark OF such
rain falls.
Also never put up family dwelling near
standing creek, it is apt to create miasma
causing chills and fever etc. An open
sunny place is the healthiest, with house
some feet above the ground, large windows
and high rooms, will make the dwelling
healthy and comfortable.
In places where it is doubtful of obtaining
good water, OF even perhaps none ut all, It
is best to have oistern it 1t less expensive
than deep well, besides that in those deep
wells the water has often brackish or mine
raj taste.
OF course in places remote from creek
it will be necessary to build tanks for stock
water, else the cattle will suffer in dry sea-
sons or bog up in the far distant miry
creeks or ponds. C.E.
1.-THE above are all good suggestions from
sagacious old Texas pioneer, Ed.

Our school Is getting along finely. Tho
patrons think their children arc learning
rapidly under Prof. Horsly and Miss CAL

Yesterday was picnic day. We had good
music. The morning was spent browning
the May Queen. All enjoyed themselves
finely. Some Of the maids became quite
nervous before they finished their parts.
Marshal will not likely be scared any more
when no has tho ceremony said. Next came
the dinner, of which some 800 partooki
the tables were literally covered with cakes
and pies OF the best quality. Mr.. Preyham
and Alex. Smith stood In the centre when
the tables wero being deserted and called
for the hungry until no one would come.
Mrs. Dunn, who was sick, was not forgotten.
horse and buggy with lot Of good things
was soon pulling that way.
by this time the Yellow and Blue Jackets
were on the ground with ball and bat The
ground was quite wet and some turned with
wrong end down, which does not speak well
for their agility.
Not candidate on the ground. When
the Masons dedicate their hall the last of
June, we expect to SEQ several Of these 30.
ciable gentlemen present.
The creeks have not been as high but once
in thirty years az on the first Of May.

BOYS AND THIMBLES

No man can, like the writer, live
sixty years without often wishing he
had learned to use sewing thimble
well in his early boyhood, especially
if he has gone about the world much.
Buttons will come off, stitches will
break, and how handy it is for boys
at school, for men at a hotel, at
friends house, indeed, anywhere
away from home-often at home
to be able to whip on button, stop
a starting rent, and do many other
little sewinss, without calling in a
woman, or perchance sending for a
tailor, before being able to appear
at hotel table. One seldom, if
ever, learns to use thimble, if this

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.

The boys and girls of the present
are the men and women of the fu-
ture: the character of the future
meu and women is being formed by
the present training of the boys and
girls; home influence has more to do
with the formation of their character
than school instruction. Let boys
and girls grow up without proper
home restraint and discipline, and it
is not reasonable to expect them to
become good and useful members of
society. Let boys and girls be care
fully trained and wisely disciplined
at home, and they will show it in
their mature years. Judging by this
rule, what are we to expect of u
large proportion of the rising gene
ration of Honolulu? Parental care
and home restraint appear to be
sadly wanting. Late in the even
ings crowds of children, of both
sexes and all sizes, congregate to-
gether and play about the streets, in
the most disreputable parts of the
city. There they learn and practice
foul language and other bad things,
which the best schools in the coun-
try can never entirely counteract.
If parents and guardians do not feel
sufficient interest in their children to
prevent their thus running wild, the
police should interpose check.
