THE Austrian State Department officials

to the non-Catholics by his incorporate

his marriage with Jewess.

A Famous Breed Of Cattle.

The opening Of the foreign mar.

and on the hoof, for the year 1876,
caused the cattle interests in this
country to assume proportions
which it never had before. The
interest was doomed" SO to speak,

into active operation on the Plains
and offering facilities for bringing
the cattle of those vast grazing re-

The Herefords have not the i'm.
posing mien, and "lordly" style Of
the shorthorns but are nearly as
heavy, a little stronger head and
horn, much shorter in the leg, aud
every way lower set. The head is
carried lower also, which detracts
from what has been called the
lordly style in speaking of the
Shorthorns, Nevertheless this
magnificent breed has points Of
practical excellence which have
repeatedly enabled it to carry of

The New Nonlh.

Heretofore there has been q deep.
ly rooted beliefthat Westward The
star of empire takes it fight" and
those who sought new fields Of en-
terprise almost invariably turned
their faces toward the setting sun.
Lately, however, the fact is begin
ming TO dawn upon those who deem
it expedient to seek new homes,
that the South offers better oppor.
tunities for profitable Investment,
and greater scope for active energy
than the West. Northern capital
has long been kept from the South,
partly from political prejudice, and
partly from Ignorance Of the natur.
al resources Of that section. The
New South Of to-day is not the old
South Of twenty five years ago.
There is no longer that exhibition
Of self-sulticisncy and arrogance
that used to be considered a char.
acteristic Of the SOuthernor, cotton
is nolOnger king, and labor is not
despiSed.
The sooner, that, not only the
capitalist, but the farmer, the min.
er and the emigrant realize these
facts, the better for them and for
the South. Young men who go
West and suffer the privations and
hardships Of frontier life, and the
demoralizidg influences Of a half
civilized society, will end in the
South, land as rich as any where
in America with superior advan.
tages Of climate, and people as hos
pitable and courteous as ever lived.
The South has within it varied re.
sources that will, in the near fu.
ture, make it the most prosperous
portion Of the United States. Be.
ing the home Of the raw material
for cotton manufacturing, it pre-.
sents peculiar advantages in that
branch Of industry. In Alabama,
Tennessee and other portions Of the
South, coal, iron ore and lime stone,
lay in such close proximity that,
even with furnaces far from being
the most improved, iron, which is
declared by competant judges to be
as good as the best Swedish can
be manufactured at from six to ten
dollars a ton cheaper than in the
great iron State Of Pennsylvania,
and pig iron can be shipped to
Pittsburg at a less cost than the
raw material sells for there. Tim.
Der in endless variety and finest
quality abounds in every Sou thern
State. Northern capital will not
be long in discovering and improv.
ing these natural advantages,
which the South is not only. will.
ing, but anxious to share by offer.
ing liberal inducements to those
who will assist in developing their
resources, and in a short time the
New South will take precedence as
a desirable place for investment
