FARM TALK.

Port Lavacaen: DR.. Mcfarland has
some samples of the celebrated Sea
Island cotton grown by Col. Gullett,
near Hynes bay on the line of Cal
houn and Victoria counties. The
staple is fully as fine as any produced
on the noted plantations of the South
Carolina coast, and bale to the acre
was grown on the new ground and
with but little cultivation.
kOsse Cyclone: Several carloads OF
corn have been received at this place
during the past few weeks, and any
number of cars of flour, bacon, lard
etc. And yet the farmers will grum-
bic at the low price of cotton and Won
der why they can't get more for 1t,
and yet be compelled to pay a good
price for the necessaries of life. The
land about here will grow corn ana
flat hogs as well as cotton, but some
how it don't do it. If you will raise
everything you need at home and a
little to spare, why should you grum--
BILE at hard times and the low price oil
cotton.

ern farmers cannot afford to fatten
hogs on CORE worth fifty cents
bushel; that only in the Northern ana
Western states, where corn is one oil
the main crops, can people raise hogs
with any profit to themselves. The
STATESMAN believes that the Herald
is mistaken. Il is better and cheaper
to raise hogs, even when they mustbe
fatteled on fifty-cent corn, than it is
to buy bacon, and when the farmer
biys both the bacon and the corn, it
does seem that he is following poor
system, to say the least of it. The
truth is corn is worth fifty cents or q
dollar merely because not one farmer
in twenty has raised enough to sup
ply his family and feed his work
horses, and he cannot afford to feed to
hogs so scarce and necessary COM
modify. But it will be easily seen
that q few more acres of corn on every
farm would make it easy for the
farmers to raise hogs, and would be
utilizing the surplus of one crop to
produce another crop for which an
enormous amount Of money goes out
of the country every year.
Besides, it has been demonstrated
in Illinois and other states where
hogs are raised that a great
variety of other products may be used
in fattening, and some of them pro-
duce better results than corn. In the
Chicago packeries the preference is
given to pork fattened on peas and
potatoes, as giving better quality of
meat. A little reflection will
show that our Texas farms may be
made to produce many varieties OF
food for the inhabitants of he pig-pen.
Potatoes and peas, peanuts and arti-
chokes, milo maize, chufa-aIl OF
these, and more, may be converted
into tle bacon and lard with which
southern smoke houses should &c
stored: and this is infinitely better
than depending on northern meat and
ay, ng import prices.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. THE
California delegation of twenty-five
members of the Woman's Christian

They have been waging crusade

prayers in behalf of the saloon keepers
at every station at which the train
stopped. They will continue their
novel campaign all the way to Boston

AFTER THITRY YEARS.
THE BODY OF A HAN KILLED DURING
THE WAR FOUND AND EXHUMED.
He Had Peen Killed by Constable and
Buried on the Open Prairie but His
Bones Were Found Beneath What
Has Been a Public Highway.
Special to the Statesman.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. Thirty
years ago, in Uvalde county, near the
town of D'Hanis, Henry Schumacher
was shot and killed by Michael Wipf,
now Il prosperous resident near Eagle
Pass. 1t was war time and the cOun-
try was disturbed. Wipf was a con-
stable and met Schumacher in the
road and Schumacher had gun
which he carried in fear of soldiers or
Indians. Wipf demanded its sur
render and in the consequent struggle
Schumacher was slain. He was buried
and little was thorght of it. He
left wife, Mary Schumacher,
and after all the lapse
of time she went west two days ago to
recover her husbands bones. So
rapidly has been this settlement of the
country that all trace of Schumacher's
burial spot was lost. Finally alloy
named Nye came to the rescue. He
heard part of theOccurrence and pros
pected for Schumacher's body. He
finally unearthed the Zones in the
middle of the public road, which has
run from D'Hanis to Uvalde for
twenty years. The traffic of the
country had been driven over the
resting place of the dead man. All
sign of the coffin was gone. His cloth
ing had disappeared, but lying on the
breast bone in regular order were
six mother of pearl buttons
which his wife had sewed
on hi , shirt the morning of his death.
There was also pair of sleeve buttons,
a collar button and a ring, which es-
tablished the identity of the bones,
and they have been brought here and
reintered in the city cemetery.
When Schumacher was killed there
was a public road within five feet of
the spot where he fell. The country
at that time was open prairie. 1t has
since grown up thickly with people,
old fences have rotted away and old
landmarks have yielded to time. The
recovery of his bones is little short of
the marvellous.

ANOTHER BANK sUCCUMBs.
The Corey National, of Pennsylvania, Closes
Its Doors.

COREY. Pa, Nov. IA sensation
was created here this morning by the
suspension of the Corey national bank
The news spread quickly and created
great surprise and excitement as it
was believed to be perfectly sound.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the
bank had been closed by order of the
bank examiners. The banks presi-
dent is II. A. Allen and cashier Clar-
ence Harem. The capital stock is
S1OO.O 600, the surplus, $4,000, and I'M
divided profits, SG,750. No statement
has yet been made of the liabilities.
The deposits are close to 100000.
The failure is due almost entirely to
the fact that the bank has been carry
inc large amount of paper for bust
ness men in this section and in the
lumber country, who have been I'm
able to meet their obligations. The
bank has branch here, which was Il
very important source of revenue. 1t
was started some time ago at the con-
sent of the comptroller. About n
month ago the comptroller decided
that the branch must close up in ac-
cordance with his policy not to allow
branch banks to do business. This
move would have deprived the main
bank of such large line of business
that it would hurt them seriously in
their present condition, and they
feared it would cause Il run which
they could not stand. The officers say
that the depositors will get every dol
lar owed them.

SOME bright young medical stu
dents in Chicago hung their lOveliest
skeleton in young girls room and
then hid in some convenient spot
where they might hear her shrieks
when she came upon it in the dark.
But the shrieks were not forthcoming.
The young lady calmly took the skel-
eton down and threw it out of the
window. There was a wierd rattle
on the stony pavement and crowd
of young medical students went down
and gazed in silent anguish on the
ruins of the skeleton they had priced
so much. They had simply scared
the wrong girl.

THE patriotic Irishmen OF New
York declined to invite Colonel In
gersoll to speak at the Parnell me-
mortal services, on the ground that
such a selection would be an insult to
the religious sentiment of Parnelli eS
and anti-Parnellites alike. When the
Americans want AN attraction for 4
fair, however, they invite Colonel
Ingersoll, and the people whose re-
lirious sentiment is insulted can stay
at home if they don't like it.

GOVERNOR HUBBARDS WORK.

The work that Governor Hubbard
has done for Texas during the past
few months should entitle him to the
lasting gratitude Of all Texans. The
route of the Texas exhibit cars has
been sown with the finest advertise
ment the state could have; series of
object lessons, by which men are
always more easily convinced
than by any amount OF
things printed or read. Added
to this, Governor Hubbard's elo-
uuence and enthusiasm have been
everywhere felt, and be has won for
the state and himself golden opinions
wherever he has gone. In his speech
before the Worlds fair commissioners
at Dallas he made resume OF the
work Texas is doing and the oppor-
tunities that lie before her now. 1t
would stir any Texans heart with
pride to read it: and it should make
every individual willing and eager to
do his part in the development Of the
state. Let Austin hasten to do what
she finds at hand. Let every man
who can, come to the front now and
give money and influence and enthu-
siasm to the upbuilding of Austin,
which means the building up of

uAnd very good and kind you have been, my dear, and we are very grate- ful, ," said Maria.

 Then the girl told me how she had put white case on the bolster she had got out for her bed, and how she had taken couple of blankets and come up stairs with them. But seeing that I had fallen into light sleep and hearing me moan, she had been afraid of waking me then, and so had placed the things ip the corner, intending to come up by and by.
 After while, when the girl had gone, I called:
