The special enumerators having in charge
the collection Of the industrial and manu-

Of interest, because as general thing our

A BRI0HT FUTURE.


Observant citizens declare that Peters
burg has bright future before lt-a tu-
ture OF solid and substantial prosperity.
It's steady growth in manufactures and
the almost certain prospect OF large and
important additions in this line give
promise of a brighter condition of affairs,
and encourage our people to believe that
the old burg has fairly started on the road
to solid business prosperity and growth.
POLITICAL NOTES.
The census enumerators are being paid
for their work in June. Many Of them
were made happy during the week by the
reception of checks in full for their SER
vices.
Whatever else may happen Langston
will not run for Congress in this district as
the regular Republican candidate: RE
will not get that nomination, and Will
therefore DO the candidate solely OF the
negroes.
Major Mann Page, president of the
State Alliance, was in the city to-day. The
duties of his position keep him very busy.

TEXAS CATTLE,

Something About their Probable Origin
and Their Value to the Farmer.
= In reply to an inquirer we would say
that Texas cattle are of Spanish origin,
descending from the Spanish stock that
was introduced into Mexico in the six
teenth century. Undoubtedly they
were originally the cattle kept by the
Moors and Castilians. for hundreds of
years. They never have been possessed
of any marked merit. 1t is probable
that the Texan is not as good, however,
as its ancestry, for it has run wild
while the originals received better,
though probably very Indifferent care.
They are tall, lank, coarseheaded and
bony, with immense horns. They have
long, coarse legs, considerable dewlap
and not much brisket; their sides are
fiat, back swayed, high in flank, narrow
in quarters and hips, and their meat is
an inferior quality of beef. AS they
are bred and kept it costs little to pro-
duce the beef, and there beinga an inad-
equacy Of supply Of beef of the best
quality, they find Already sale and re-.
turn profit. But the time, m ust come
when the Texan will be poor invest
ment.
In fact the time will come when
nothing but the very best beef pro-
ducer will be regularly bred and fed.
In color they are dun, red, yellow, byin.
die, black. and blue roam, mixed with
more or less white. "A distinguished
writer dismisses them with the follow
ing very accurate estimate of their rcal
value: ''As to their value for any eco
nomical purpose, beyond their Hides,
what little tallow they have, their horns
and bones for manufacturing or fertiliz-
ing purposes, we consider them of little.
consequence within the bounds of mod
ern civilization or intelligent agricult-
ure." And yet in the present condition
of things, with: not enough beef pro-
duced outside of these cattle to supply
the demand for the poorer grades Of
beef, their products seem to be /. real
necessity. But then it is possible that
if they were out of the W. Y better
class of beef in larger quantities would
be produced, and thus both consumer
and prod would be benefited. Vest

good allowance of time with the usual
appliances for each carcass. Remove
the leaf fat first, then make the cuts as
indicated by the dotted lines ON the

shape for economical usc. A gool rule
for cutting he hams is to start at a
point six inches from tho root of the

This. makes very handsome-shaped
