AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
This department is in receipt of a
specimen of flax raised in Texas, the
conditions surrounding it being ex-
planned by the following letter:
Hon. b. F. Phillips. House of Representatives,
TWenty-second Legislature,
DEAR SIR:-Permit me to return
you my sincere thanks for the beauti-
ful specimen of flax, in three stages of
preparation, viz, crude, rotted and
scratched, the latter being thirty-six
inches (measured) in length, raised by
Mr.. John O'Byrne, of Upshur county,
in the Southern part, upon rocky
knoll. This specimen shows that
Texas can raise flax equal to that Of
Ireland, according to the testimony of
Mr.. O'Byrne who is native of that
country and well acquainted with the
production of the Emerald Isle.
According to HE estimate two tons
can be raised to the acre, worth $40.
AS the seed has only to be sown, like
wheat or oats, the cost of production
is very little. The preparation of the
HaX for the loom is not greater than
that of cotton, and it is therefore evil
dent that its production would be
worth more. AS the price of cotton is
so low the time is propitious for plant.
ing flax as substitute.
The specimen will be placed upon
exhibition, and will no doubt attract
much attention and examination.
Mr.. O'Byrne deserves great credit
for this timely contribution to the
agricultural exhibits of the state, and
will receive the compliments of all
who desire to see Texas fully de-
veloped. Respectfully,
JOHN e. HoLLINGswoRTH.

The FIRST we'll authenticated case where
a Delaware woman has taken advantage
OF this Leap Year Of our Lord, A. b.
1892, to propose to one Of the many at
traetive young Wilmington men has been
made public.
She was young and attractive girl
from Chrlstlana hundred. She had
lived along the banks Of the romantic
Brandywine so long that she had become
romantic.
She walked into one OF the we'll known
dry goods stores OF this city with a girl
companion. They were on q shopping
expedition. Her companion WAS much
more eager to shoD than she was.
AS soon as the Christiana hundred
maiden entered the store her eyes fell
upon fine looking young salesman.
She watched him closely and like Cole
ridges ancient Mariner" a spring Of
love gushed from her heart, and she
blessed him unaware.
AT length her infatuatton overcsme

said.
