In A Galveston letter to the Houston
Post, In answerto the question of "What
he knew about railroading," Strand
business man said: 'In view of the
building Of railroad from San Antonio
to the coast, would it not be advisable
to call the attention of the owners of
the Mexican National Narrow Gauge
railway company to the importance Of
a connection with such line, whereby
share Of the voluminous business
could be equitably handled between the
two ports, Galveston and Arkansas Pass?
As an advantage to San Antonio it would
be great, from the fact that it would give
her two coast ports to compete for the
handling Of her vast importations and
rapidly growing exports for Texas as
well as Mexican markets. The extern
sion of the Mexican National would
give to San Antonio direct connection
with the entire narrow gauge railway
system Of the United States, owing to
the early completion, which has long
been their object, of spur line from
Carankaway Shoals to Houston, there
forming a continuous outlet, through
Paul Bremond's extension, with the
neighboring States. 1t probably need
less to attempt to advise the Mexican
National railroad company of the
advantages to them by such an
extension Of their line, from the fact
that they have had the matter portrayed
to them too frequently before now.
Regarding coasr line road, he added:
ut is the honest belief OF n majority Of
the calmest thinkers in this part of the
country. that a coastwise railroad from
Galveston to the Rio Grande will sooner
or later be considered OF national i'm
portance, and nothing develops this idea
more practically than the growing in
terests of Americans in Mexico. They
need looking after very much. Ten
years from now the question will be a
much broader and vital one. The part
to be enacted by coast line railroad in
such an emergency will be incalculable,
not only to our Government as line of
defense against an invading army, but
In lieu Of a standing army at each vul-
nerable point. This road would be able
to deliver an army within short notice,
to repel any attack from an invading
foe ON land or by water. Such rail-
road would put into market the finest
agricultural lands in Texas, which, in a
lew years, would be worth hundreds OF
dollars per acre, where now they can be
bought for few cents. For the pur-
pose OF raising early vegetables, these
lands cannot be surpassed, and they
would have the largest cities in the
State Galveston, Houston and San An.
tonio) for markets, and, in prospective

leans. Besides this there would be
crops of cotton and sugar. 1t would
pass through some of the largest cattle
ranches on the globe, bringing theiI
healthy stock direct to markets awaiting
them, naturally lessening expenses q
sale. and putting the stock upon the
market In much more satisfactory CON
dition than at present"

WHEN / BEHOLD THY FACE.

When behold thy face
Thy beauty strikes me mute;
cannot sing thy praise
Nor urge my loving suit;
hold my peace and stand apart,
Lips silent, tho not SO my heart.
I fear, yea strongly fear,
Thy suitor eloquent;
His words within thine ear
Are all with music blent;
Yet thou hast eyes and wit to sec
He means not half he swears to thee.
All were his gift but mine,
I'D so applaud thee, love,
The stars should cease to shine,
The fleeting earth to move,
And heaven and hell should listen long
TO catch the burden Of my song.

REV. w. Fl. KIRTON IN CHRISTIAN
ADvoCATE.-Easley, January 9.-We
reached our new field Of labor, Pick
ems circuit, on the night Of the Oath of
December, just one week after the ad-
journment Of Conference. BY reason
OF a Disappointment, we weae several
hours behind the time thpt we were
expected, and consequently y consid-
erable company which assembled at
the parsonage to welcome us to Our
new home, was also disappointed.
We were sorry, very sorry, but we had
to accept the situation. Conpulsion is
a mighty power, of frequent manifcs-
tations, in great complicated world
like this. On our arrival, we found
that we had been sent to kind peo-
pie. A bountifully spread table, the
fine turkey, together with other luxu-
ries which greeted our eyes as we en-
tered the dining-roon, manifested
thoughtful kindness and good taste on
the part Of our new friends, and were
enjoyed and appreciated blythe preach
er and his family. We also found
flour, sugar, coffee, potatoes, and 9TH
cr neccssarics in the larder. l am
expecting a year Of hard, but agree
able and successful work We have a
good parsonage in the town OF Easley,
with church. railroad and school adj
van1ayes. Some additional furniture
has been brought in since our arrival,
and more will be provided. One Of
the official brethcn at this place has
very kindly undertaken to supervise
tn: digging Ola well for the convcn-
i,ncc OF the parsonage, and another
has been kind enough to send for Il
good cook stove. Thus it may be seen
that there are good substantial reasons
for my hope OF success. Bro. E'well,
my predecessor, leaves many friends
asa result Of four years labor. While
h, will miss the grand mountain seen
cry That shall enjoy, he will have a
pleasant field and good roads to trav-
el.
