the Harbor Bar. This should be carefully
examined. 1t is better known as the
Whsrfage Monopoly, a corporation con.
trolling the haroor docks and privileges,
thereby placing q tribute on ell commerce,
import and export. No money from the
Uaited States or from the several states
Interested should be spent for the con-
struction OF haroor to beaef:a wharf
corporation. The wharf privileges
should be the property Of tbe state Of
Texas.
The next point for all interested is to
carefully note the gulf stream. This
current runs along the east coast OF
South America ard strikes the coast OF
Texas between the Rio Grande and
Arkansas Pass, sId there changing its
course TO Key West or Cape Florida b.
referring TO the map Of the Gulf OF Mex.
leo you will see the cause for the sand
bars along the east coast of Texas and
Louisiana.
There is still another subject for
careful consideration, and that is the
distance by ship or by railway
A harbor st Arkansas PISS or Padre Island
will shorten the distance 200 miles by
rail to Western Texas, New Mexico and
Colorado. This in vast commerce is CT

Deep Water for Texas,

WICHITA FALLS, TEN, June u, 1855.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
The deep water discussion, conducted
through your columns l have read with
much interest, as this is subject Of
great importance to all the states and
territories lying between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains with un-
told billions of product to be exported
and imported. The rapid settlement Of
this vast doTuain with its untold wealth
to be developed in the very nesr future,
demands deep water on the gulf coast Of
Texas and e port to accommodate the
export and import. The call for the con-
yention st Fort Worth, July 10. 1883, will
meet the hearty approval Of all. TIE
representatives, from al the states inter-
ested can meet the Texas delegates in
terested, and the subject csn be
fully discussed, for there is
great importance in 6 full and
thorough knowledge of the points
which will be brought before this conven-
tion. First, Galveston will present the
report Of the engineers, which was made
to Colonel Sesly, q wealthy citizen of
Galveston. This report will show hun
dreds Of sores of deep water in Galveston
bay, but the report fails to show oy what
means the ships are TO resch deep water.
The report should show three snd one
fourth miles Of sandbar extending into
the Gull OF Mexico, where double break
water is to be constructed on euicssapd
and the current OF the tide is to wash out
the sand, and the problem Of the depth OF
the channel is to be settled afser many
millions Of dollars have been spent on this

of terror and happiness, such as hope
never to experience again.

mounds caused by the snow drifting

Huddled together under the ground,
with fifteen feet of snow over us, we
had not suffered badly; and the lunch
basket filled by mother for Frank and
me on our journey had sufficed to keep
us from actually suffering from hunger.

Philadelphia is at last beginning to
talk sense about its 81, 900, 900 City
Hall, remarks the New York Press. 1t
is proposed to buy up and vacatc real
estate all around it, so as to afford an
unobstructed view of what is a remark
ably largo and fine public building. At
present the Philadelphia City Hall can
be appreciated only by gong up in a
balloon, as it cannot be seen to advan.
tage from any point in the narrow and
closely built streets that intersect Broad
and Market streets near it, nor from those
streets themselves, as it is much broader
than they are. 1t would cost $1,000
600 to make the expenditure proposed,
but then it would be worth much more
than that in its ultimate effect on tax
able property. So splendid a down.
town park would make central Phila-
delphia real estate boom as it never
doomed before.

welded IN A BLIZZARD

When father took up his claim in
Douglass county, Oak, the county was
new and thinly settled. Father and my
three brothers took up a section and
built their four houses on adjoining
corners So, as two brothers were mar
ried, We formed little settlement by
ourselves. This was well, as our nearest
neighbor lived eleven miles away. 7
was then a merry, romping lass of Is. all
the wilder for being just from city life.
The first year a very destructive cy-
clone visited that part of the country.
Lying as 1t does between the Missouri
and James rivers, it was feared such
visitations might be frequent, so father
and the boys dug cave mid way be-
tween the houses. Twice we sought
refuge there and heard the demon of
destruction at work among the fruits of
our industry: We escaped without in
jury; but father, who was returning
from the town, twenty miles away.
where we got our mail and supplies, was
badly bruised by the overturning of his
wagon. As soon as he recovered he and
the boys dug cave about midway on
the route to the town. The location
was marked by four tall, upright posts,
which could be seen for long distance.
Years passed with no occasion for its
use, but father was always dreading
such time, and kept it in repair.
Four happy years passed, and then a
party of visitors from the east came.
Among them was Frank Healy. We
had been great friends in the past, and
became something more during that
long summer.

Since the death of Katkoff, the st.
Petersburg journalist. the man who is
supposed to have the most influence
with the car of Russia is his former
tutor, Possett, with whom he has al
ways been intimate. This gentleman,
who was formerly professor in the
university, is now the procurator of
the holy synod and member of the
privy synod. Another man who exer-
cises profound influence over the
car is Ivan of Cronstadt, a hermit
priest, who is said to perform miracles
and whom the car frequently visits
IN his monastic cell.
