Erigrating to Texas

1t is estimated that Texas will receive
SOC, 600 emigrants this year, and before
the next census Is taken she IS destined
to rank in population aud importance
with States that were full grown when
she was in her swaddling clothes. Tex
as alone could feed aud clothe the peO-
ple Of tae United States. Last year
she raised go. 900 bales Of cotton, and
she has a capacity which, if fully work
ed, would yield her the enormous
amount of 100000 bales. The one
thing the Lone Star State seems to
stand most in need of is adequate pro-
tection against train robbers, who pur-
sue their avocations in that magnificent
section with as much regularity as those
who work at honest occupations. But
perhaps the wild stories located at regu-
lar intervals in Texas become such from
the long distance they must travel be-
FIRE reaching Eastern eyes.

History Of Fishing.

mueh the same in6nituie of indivilutls
in some Of these species And, as a
savage population must be always sparse.
and in any locll few in number, their

If the fopest and of 'he open plains were

he fresh and Of the salt water were to
the riverine AMI the maritime tribes -
Between these early days and the first
beginnings Of agriculture vast periods Of
time must have elapsed First, because
in these. and more or less in all ATTITUDES
nature offered to man no plant that in
its unimproved state was worth caltivat-
ipc The sui able form had to be evolv-
ed by long processes Of observation. -
This is why we know nothing Of the pa
rentagc Of wheat, barley, oats, rye,
beans or maize, and why the tropical
dread fruit plantain, banana and sugar
cane have lost the power Of producing
seed, and so Of reproducing themselves
This must have been a result Of long
ages of human selection Nothing of
the kind had to be done fnr fish There
it was as fit for human food on the first
day that man stood on the river bank or
the scashore as it is at this day Agri-
culture also required implements to clear
and stir the ground, and to gather in
the crops with, and these implements
We know were the result Of long series
Of discoveries, Improvements and advan-
ces. Primeva man, therefore, as We
now read his history, could not have
lived by or known anything Of agr'cul-
ture. Nor could he have lived by wild
fruits, for they are not continuous
throughout the year They have their
season, and that a brief one. He must
then have lived by hunting and fishing.
an of the two, fishing would be the
most cou.insous and unfaiIing through
out the changing seasons, the most val
liable Of all qualities for those ill-suppIi-
ed times 1t would not be more diff
cult to hook, and spear, anu net, and
rap fish, and to gather mollusks from
he rocks and sand banks, than to trap
or pierce with arrows wild game Our
comparison, however, is with
agriculture; and we may be sure that
not in it were the foundations of society
aid, but in hunting aud fishing, and
hat of these two, as the great caruivors
At FIRST, had possession of the forest and
plain against intruding man, fishing
was the main primeyal occupation and
means of subsistence.
