Texas, though it is still but little
known. / have been able TO put in an
entire week here and hereabouts and 1
wish to call attention to the advanta-
ges offered here.
In the first place the lands are very
rich and open, and very easy OF eulti-

grasses are very fine and stand thick
on the ground, la the next place
there are lots of actual settlers here
who have come to stay. [ came
here from Abilene, and all along
the road between that place aud this i
saw farms being opened and GOOD
houses going up. The lands ia Jones
county are held at reasonable figures
owing to the fact that no railroad
touches the county. But venture Ia
predict that in five years from TODAY
not an acre in the county can be puT-
chased at twice or three times the nres-
ent prices.

ment has taken place here within the
past two years, insert a statement as

A GREAT EAVY.
New York Mail. I

The day for the launch of the
first of the four steel cruisers for
the navy has arrived, and a
spectacle to hun,iliate the Ma
ton is thus presented. A craft
of $40 feet length and 1900 tons
displacement, the Dolphin, will
have a maximum speed OF only
fifteen knots an hour, and yet
u contemporary announces that
she will be "a commerce des-
troyer." How aboat going fifteen
knots an hour will ever be able
to destroy a steamship making
twenty is something the people
can understand when they see
old truck horses passing Maud
s. on the road. Besides the
Dolphin, John Roach s. Sons
are to construct the Chicago,
$500 tons, and the Boston and
the Atlantic, each 5000 tons
completing them before 1885,
and no condition as to speed is
contained in the contract for
any of the cruisers. Their ag-
gregate cost will be almost nihil.
They cannot run down the swift
machine steamers, and one shot
from a gun like the heaviest
used in the commandment of
alexandria would not leave
enough of them for distribution
as relics. a billion dollars in
vested in such cruisers would
not restore our naval power.
Congress ought to arrange with
Mr.. Roach to give the Boston
and Chicago a speed Of not less
than twenty knots an hour. Our
steel cruisers should be as fa-
nous for speed as were the
American clipper ship q quarter
ola century ago. If they are
slow they are worthless except
for presidential picnics.

forth from a woody ridge which
tringes the faithful city" and
the Second Charles fed with a
few companions to the old for
est at Brewood, to return dis
guised as a groom by that Macon
bill we can see, with Lady Jane
riding behind him.
A burst of melody comes
through the trees from the
nightiDgale's nest. We are at
once removed from the past to
the present; yet one conjures
up as many memories as the
other. With pure air, pure
water-with "half a kingdom
bathed in light" as Mary How
lit sings, lying at her teet-we
leave Jenny Lind at home, with
, every prospect of happiness in
the autum of her days. Lon
don World.
