A MINISTER'S OPINION.
What Rsyersned MIR. jenkins Says b ont
California.

-" hab GSfNCEGheu MI OoDAlE0 5H1 D q ID Out
California.
From Fridays (Feb. 10y Daily.
Rev. NJ. G. Jenkins of the Methodist
church, who hiss just returned from
California, was met by GAZETTE re-
porter Yesterday, to whom that gentle
man said: clam glad Imet you. have
wanted some means whereby 1 Nigh,
give to the public an account OF my ex.
perience on the Pacific slope, in the hope
that might be able to deter some others
from venturiDg In country SO cheerIess,
c0mfortless and utterly desolate as
found California. It is Christian duty
l feel bound to perform to warn all can
from going there. 1t is not right 10 In
duce people to go there. 1t is
sinful. Last fall was trans
fer ed by the Observation-Disclosures
of the Methodist church from North
Texas to Bakersfield, small Mace in the
San Joaquin valley, about 160 miles north
of Los Angeles. / went there expecting
to fad country rich IN all that goes to
make life pleasant, but found he whole
country bleak, barren ana desolate,
in fact q great desert, resembling that
arid waste stretchiug from New M xlco
TO Yuma; In fact believe it to be the
same desert, iutersected only by the
Sierra Madre mountains. 1t Is the most
God-forsaken country Cf 9 minister
may use such an eIpressior) I ever saw.
The ministers have no support there,
all those Of Protestant denominations
being supported by missionary appropri-
etiops from the east. The people as a
rule take more Interest in their rabbit
drives than In the preaching Of the
gospel. The only man in the whole
country who wanted me to stay when l
hsd made up my mind in utter disgust to
leave, was agsmbler who said he would
contribute to my expenses II I would
stay, but would not attend my services
"This is no place for a msu OF what
ever occupation TO 60. It is expensive to
live and there is no work to do. In the
villsge of Bakszsstsld they had town lots
surveyed of out 10 the desert, which
they hold at $500 and $500 per acre, but
there were few people foolish enough to
buy at such figures"

FORT woR-H, TEX. Feb. Is. 1873.
The rain has to q gre :. exten. inter-
fered with retail trade, but, considering
everything, business all over the city has
been quite active.
JobolGg trade retains its activity.
Produce of all kinds Is quite plentiful.
Eggs are worth but bit dozen.
THE STATE OF TRADE.
Special kilograms in Bradstreet's indI-
cate that some improvement has taken
place in the condition of general trade.
Where noticeable it has been relatively
less important at Cincinnati and St.
Joseph. There have been gains at S..
Louis in spite OF bad weather, and at Kan
ses City traffic mas grown TO large proper
tons. This is true also at St. Paul and
Minneapolis. At Chicago, while sales Of
general merchandise have increased, the
movement OF goods has been checked
some by the low temperature and the
freight-rales war. At Kansas City and at
other fir-Western points the freight
rates cuts have resulted In iobhers
placing increased orders at the east. New
orders received at Philadelphia, however,
have not been heavy, though shipments
on old orders have been considerable. A.
New Dreams trade has been quiet. Toe
bad condition Of the country roads stops
the shipment of goods and Of produce,
and the rains throughout Louisians have
delayed planting. Our correspondent at
New Orleans wires that the sugar trust
has already sent agents south to ouy
sugar direct from the planters. The
action of the trust at New York this week
cut prices OF raw down &c per pound.
The weather has improved in Southern
Texas. Our San Antonio correspondent
sends word that the thorough soaking
which the state has received this winter
promises large agricultural returns next
season. General business throughout
Central Texas has not been active of lac.

TARRANTs SCHOOL LANDS.
What is BuIng Done to Derive a Fan,
from The M.

What Is BuIng Done to Derive Fand
from Them.
W. E Brothers, agent Of Tsrrsnt coun-
ty for the sale OF her school lands, was
IN Fort Worth Tuesday. He re-
ports three sales made recently
and three more trades about concluded
the Tarrant county school land originally
amounted to 1880 acres situated very
the near geographical center of Wichita
county. The Fort Worth and Denver
passes through the tract and has estab-
Iished esIation named after Captain E NJ.
Daggett, the father OF Fort Worth, which
bids fair to be an important point. The
county has put these lands on the market
1t prices ranging from 81 to SIS 80 SD
Hcre. The time for payment is twenty
years with interest at per cent. with
none of the principal TO be paid
until the expiration OF the twenty years
unless the purchaser wishes 10 pay for
the lana sooner. Mr.. Brothers ssys s
portion Of the 1rscs is as file agricultural
land as csn be found. These Iknds will
be sold in few years, whea the county
school fund will be shout Sae0, 900.

auctions Of your section Of the state. bu.

ductions OF your section Of the state, bat
1t would make my letter too long.
Let us now come to the Pecos Valley,
the coming FL Dorado Of Americs. and
will tell you what she can do. Remember
1t Is all By irrigation, no farming can be
done without 1t. Mr.. Dan Murphy of
this county last Yesr raised On 800 acres,
sixty bushels OF oats to the acre without
one drop of rain. Augustine HerDsudez,
Mexican on Toysh creek, raisedas sweet
potato weighing s25 pounds. Cabbage
vas raised in this VALLEY weighing al the
wsy from ten to sixty-nine pounds per
head. One mans crop eversged thirty:
pounds 20 the head. Bsets, turnips and
al kinds Of garden products grow in the
same proportion.
Two men in the Pecos Valley
raised last season $1,000
pounds Of Irish potatoes to the acre,
some OF the potatoes weighing six pounds
apiece. 1t Imsy be well for me to state
here that the Irish potato is Indigenous
to this section, having been found grow
ing wild by the earliest pioneers.
Seven tons of slfalfs per acre car be
raised here. Pumpkins and melons of ali
kinds grow to enormous proportions.
The Pecos valley, If ell put into cultivA-
ton, would rsise more than two such
states IS Illinois. Fruits grow here
equally as we'll as in California, especially
the FL Paso grape.
Texas has rails the fastest race horse
In the world, running q mile IN one min
ute. thirty-iVe seconds, with an average
stride OF twenty-seven feet. This horse
WAS Rebel.
Texas has raised the largest grass steer
ever raised in Americs, weighing in Dali
las $500 pounds, never fed one grain OF
corn. Williamson county can boast OF q
Merino buck that sheared forty-s Y pouuds
of wool at ore cllp-would msse
half dozen suits Of clothes
for Chicago maui Let him
remember that we have no A. below zero
ciimsle, no mixed schools, no equality OF
races, but an atmosphere so pure, brac-
ing and delightful that 1t makes a man
tell the truth whether he will or not. Let
Texas merchants remember that Chicago
has hundreds Of drummers seeking the
Texas trade, but let them give their
money to our frlends-St. L3ujs, Calves
tons New Orleans, and not patronizs q
peap'e,sver ready to SANDER u.s..
Now, In conclusion, would say, II any
Qhicsgo rooster wants to know kpything
Ybre about Texas, let him cali on me,
f9r 1--we told only the half n all l know.

THAT NIGHT.

You and I, that night, with its perfume
and glory
The scent Of the locusts, the light of the
moon;
And the violets weaving the waltzer story,
Enmeshing their feet in the weft of the
tune
Till their shadow uncertain,
Relied round on the curtain,
While under the trellis We drank in the
June.
Soaked through with the midnight the
cedars were sleeping,
Their shadowy tresses outlined in the
bright
Crystal, moon smitten mist, where the
fountains heart, leaping
Forever,
Forever, forever burst, full with delight;
And its lisp on my spirit,
Fell faint g that near it,
Whose love like a lily Moomed out in
the night.
oh, your glove was an odosous sachet of
blisses!
The breath of your fan was the breeze of
Cathay!
And the rose at your throat was nest of
spilled kisses!
And the music-in fancy, hear it day.
As sit here, confessing
Our secret, and blessing
My rival, who found us and waltzed you
away.
