States Army, has just returned to depart.
ment headquarters from an extended trip
Throughout southwest Texas as far west
as Fl. Davis, in Presidio county. He pass.
ed through the center OF the great sheep
grazing section OF Texas, and reports that
terrible drouth prevails In Presldio, Pecos
and Crockett counties. These counties
embrace an area somewhat exceeding the
acreage OF the State OF Maine. Until a
fortnight ago the larger part Of this Coun.
try had not been visited by a heavy rain
for eighteen months, and the recent rain
proves TO have done but little good, as
the earth was 80 parched that the water
instead Of filling the small streams and
reservoirs, was soaked up by the burning
pTairies.
Major Bash says that for many miles, a.
far as the eye can reach, the country II
bare'of vegetation, not even weeds grow
ing. Hundreds Of small streams are en-
tirely dried up, and water, even for living
purposes, is sparlngly dealt out at the
ranches. He relates several instances
that came under his observation, showing
the terrible effect OF drought on sheep aud
cattle. On the Meyer Half ranch, out Of
5000 cattle, 5000 have died within the
past month, and the prairie is literally
strewn with carcasses, surrounded By
myriads Of hugh buzzardB. On another
ranch 5000 sheep have died, while on one
OF the largest the IloCkmaster was COMPEL
ed to kill 5000 lambs, and q neighboring
herder killed 5000 lambs because theil
mothers were too weak from starvation Il
afford them nouriShment.

John Drlsht on sunday soIlool,.

LONDON, May lO.-Mr. John Bright,
speaking at a mission bnzaar tonight said
that the Sunday Schools constitute much
toward the development OF the modern
feeling, and that the work performed by
them wNs Of more Importance at present
than 1t had been at any previous period
in English history. The powers oil mon.
RrChy were lessening, and the influence Of
the aristoorats was fading away. The on.
ly power that was growing-a power that
would never henCeiorth be limited-was
the power Of the people. He claims,
therefore, that the most pressing need at
the present time was political education
by which these could be cultivated In the
minds OF the people, q sense OF their
moral responsibility. They should be
taught that labor would have its Just re-
ward, and that the wealthy should be per-
mitted to enjoy their riches in security.
