some place to invest their money.
San Saba county should be up and
doing, and ready to offer induce

There is plenty of fine land in our
county, but not many people out of

Poor Italy.

After all her numbering and
fussy noise about war, ships, and
guns she has about settled down
in the even tenor Of her way, and
will no doubt profit by the lesson
she has learned. At any rate she
has found that Uncle Sam had his
own notions about things, and
would not act in hurry. He is
now ready, however, to deal with
her, SO soon as she cools down
enough to know that Uucle Sam
acts through politeness and not
through fear. Uncle Sam is very
polite and will in all probability
Tip his hat when they meet in the
national parlor for the purpose of
smoothing down the little mole
hill thai Italy tried to magnify
into q mountain. by q process OF
investigation conducted by the au-
thorities at New Orleans, it has
been ascertained beyond q reason
able doubt, that eight of the Ital-
inns killed at New Orleans we're
full fedged American citizens, an
other had petitioned to become q
citizen and renowned allegiance
to Italy. That leaves Italy only
two, and one of them is an escap-
ed convict. Uncle Sam will talk

be cheaper for Italy to send over

Il informed them that the grass

the children brought me and to-

which were exhibited, wonders
and excellences surprising all adj

and noticed that out of the same
elements were the utmost diversi-
ty of results, thousand species of
trees and plants springing from
the same soil, watered by the same
showers, surrounded by the same
atmosphere, and warmed by the
same sun and yet how different in
their qualities.
These reflections occurred where
ever L beheld tree or plant
growing that God was there par
ticullary and and silently at work,
that he was present with flower
that sprang from the soil, and
gave to it with his own hand ev-
cry leaf that adorned to its grace
full form, and every tint that con-
tributed to the beauty of its color
ing, that He presides over it from
the first impulse of termination to
the last moments of its fading ex-
istence. Then if He so cares for
wayside flowers, how much more
will He care for me, a human be-
ing, battling along in life with no
one to look to for protection but

is perhaps the most influential
man in the democratic party. The
only thing in the way of his nomi-
