Tin- Texas Frontier.
All news from tho Texas frontier
show that the Mexicans have desisted
from troubling that State. They have
drawn off their forces in the interest!
of peace, and It is probable they will
adhere to it. If this news bo strictly!
true,and we hope it is. Grant 's chance
of rid(ng in|o the third form on Mex- j
Sean war clouds, looks even more
hopeless than it did as long as he was
surrounded by Landaulot Williams
and Beast Butler, if Mexico wants n
President, Grant will beat liberty to
accept after the next election.
Buffalo linnlx.
Every puper wo see from the lower
portion of Alabama, Florida ami Tex
as, contains accounts of the serious
damage resulting to cattle by the vis
its of the insect known ns the Buffalo
gnat. The gnat is a small insect, not
half the size of the common house fly,
which suddenly uppeurs iu the air by
millions. It settles upon all four
footed animals, and, in some in- i
stances, attacks chickens, anil annoy i
men. They arc very destructive. A |
horse oreow during the night will !>o- 1
conic covered with them, and in the
moruitm.be found dead, and swelled
to nil enormous sfzc. Their bite is
very iioisonous. Those who have
been most troubled witli them advise
putting on each animal a coating of
tar, or herding the cattle in a lot,
keeping tires burning through the
night, tile smoke driving them off. It
seems thatjtheeo insects are making
their course up the country, in which
even| they tiro likuly to give this sec
tion a Call.

Why Urlnnii wns A.t.rit <o Kr-Uixn.
The charges upon which the de
mand for Secretary Delano’s resigna
tion was based, ave being made pub
lic. All of them have not yet come
to liglit. Among the more serious
stand some little transactions or this
kiud: The rival claimants of title to
a valuable Mexican grant to Califor
nia wore directed by this Secretary
Delano tf> consult with his son, John,
about the matter; and the result of
that consultation wns that one of tho
claimants handed John $5,000 in cash
and two thousand shared in a quick
silver mine fouud on tho disputed
land. The supposition is that John
is a dutiful son, and will therefore
“tote” fair witli the old man.
We have not heard whether John
did so or not, but the old man
is counting oil some of the stock.
Another grave charge was that cer
tain Washington parties found great
difficulty in getting a decision from
the Secretary in a matter involving
the issue of patents to a large amount
of land. This- latter inconvenience
ws likewise referred to the Inevita
ble John, and soon the whole matter
weeeettlod, and John,was the happy
(Bssessoji olxsl* truSto of the same
laud. Truly John Is agreet boy, and
ids affectionate Pu is a greater ras
cal. Is it not a great pity that in the
whole expanse of Radicalism, that
Grant won’t pick out moro of the
honest men of his persuasion and
put them In office, and then let the
country’ have u short cessation from
talcs of stealing and debauchery ?
editorial CurrrH|Miiidrm-r.
Atlanta, Ga., Muy 5, 1875.
Thinking that some of the readers
of tho Times would relish a crop let
ter, I write you a few hurried lines on
that subject. The severe woather,
which lias extended winter far into
spring, does wot seem to have kept
back the energy of the farmers on tho
line of tho railroad from Columbus to
West Point and! Atlanta. But vege
tation is decidedly backward. We do
not wonder that immigrants are not
attracted to lower Georgia, and pre
fer the upper portions of the State
when they settle here. Excessive,
and we can almost sav exclusive at
tention to cotton, has made tho land
scape bare, impoverished and unin
viting. Very few fields of small grain
gem the landscape with its fresh j
green. An isolated wheat field seemed
like an oasis in this desert of cotton.
Cotton is the best plant in tho world
to enrich a people or a country if
moderation in Its culture is observed;
but If in England, where agriculture
has reached its highest perfection, it
is found more profitable to keep two
thirds of the entire country sowed
in small grain and gruss, and
only cultivate one-third in clean
culture—keeping the same fields
three years out and one year in clean
culture—how much more imperative
ly necessary does it seem to adopt
this policy in our country, where the
light sandy soil is so readily washed
away! Cotton culture lias well nigh
destroyed the linmnx in our soil, by
keeping the surface bare by clean
culture and allowing the rays of tho
hot sun to complete the damage done
by constant ploughing. At least two
thirds of our lands ought, to be kept
in small grain and grass if the latter
can be profitably grown, which can [
only be determined by experiment
and only one-third cultivated in cot
ton and corn. Let anyplanter calcu
late how much his cash outlay would
be thus reduced, and he will be sur
prised at the result. We pay out too
much money, and yet wages are as
low as the laborer can live tit. This
state of things could not exist if we
practiced a rational system of hus
bandry. Take Europe as your guide;
or, turn to the States in this country,
whore agriculture with free labor has
prospered, and you will find that it
invariably approximates the stand
ard which we have given above. |
Take, for example, farming in Cali
fornia, and it will be found to apply
even to that wonderful eountry:
“Rancho Chico was loeated by Gen.
John Bidwell in 1843, and a grant for
the same was obtained from the Mex
ican There now re
mains in the possession of General
Bidwell almost thirty-three square
miles of the original grant- 21, 080
acres. ()f this, 9,000 acres are under
cultivation. This year there are 5,390
| acres in wheat, barley and oats; also,
i 300 acres in com.”
One planter on the lino of tlie At
! lanta Si West Point Railroad has
| adopted a plan that we have never
j seen before. His wheat is sowed in
drills, about two or three feet apurt,
! so that it is susceptible of cultivation
1 with a ‘‘sweep.” This wheat looks so
■ much bettor than the wheat and oats
| generally, which we saw, that wo are
i confident it was sowed early last fall
I -perhaps, between the rows of cot
ton. This enterprising farmer de
j serves success. We could not help
wishing, however, that he would pur
chase a good grain drill,which will dis
tribute uny small grain at the desired
intervals, with fertilizers and clover
or grasses—all at the same t ime. Or,
if that was thought too expensive, it
is a pity that he does not possess a
Thomas smoothing-harrow, which
harrows from seven to ten feet at a
time, and will do as effectual work as
the “sweep,” without making it nec
essary to plough between each fur
row. Until small grain gets “in the
boot,” cultivation Ls as benefleiul to
it as to cotton. Indeed, cotton cul
ture is a great boon in itself, for we
get tho laud thoroughly clean from
grass and weeds, and thus prepare it
for the wheat and oat crops. In Eng
land. whoro they mnkeiorty bushels
of wheat per acre, they cultivate tho
laud intended for wheat a season
without planting anything in it. This
is called a clean ftulow. Wo can do
the same thing nud get a cotton crop
ill addition. F. F.
Louisiana Sugar.— With all her po
litical troubles, losses from overflows,
and financial derangements, Louis
iana sugar planters are at length be
coming prosperous, emerging from
heavy debts through economy nnd
I good management; and it Is esti
; mated the sugar crop of the State for
next fall will be more than double
that of any other year since the war.
Tlie colored population prefer to live
in the most southerly part of the
State, and they are paid higher wages
in the cane than in the cotton fields.
Besides, the advanced tariff on su
gars stimulates thoTdanters to put in
huger crops.— San Francisco Call.
Tho sugar planters iu Louisiana
have the same inducement to increase
production of sugar on account of the
war in Cuba, that impelled India,
Egypt, Brazil and other countries to
increase their production of cotton
during the war betweon the States.
Mr. J. B. Motley writes to the
Washington JSepublican that the lute
Father DeSmet mysteriously hinted
to him some time ago that he know
where he could find an everlasting
quantity of gold nuggets on “oue of
the Indian reservations.” Father
DeSmet told the same story to Thur
low Weed, •naming the Black Hills,
however, as the locality. He also
stated to Mr. Motley that he advised
the Indians never to exhibit their
nuggets to the whites, or they would
have their lands. As the saving is,
“the jig is up now.”
Since the year 1800 and before 1872,
tho Church of England had built 3,204
churches and rebuilt 025, making
i 4J29 in all. Restorations and cu
| largemfijts wore still more numerous,
so as to make the whole number
i built, rebuilt or restored within the
century over 9,000, at u cost of at
least £18,000,000. All this was done
by voluntary subscription, except 11
? rant of £1,000,000 by tho Parliament.
n 1831 thenumborof benefices was
110,000; now they are as nearly as pos
sible 13,200, at a cost of £1,053,440
from private benefactions alone up
jto October 31, 1873. Forty years ago
j there were- 5,900 parsonages; now
! there aro 11,000. In 1801 there were
: 10,307 Clergy, in 1871 there were 20,694.
From 1839 to 1872 three and a half
million of pounds were spent in
school buildings for parish schools.
Tho number of curates now is over (
5,800, and the average salury lias been ;
raised from £B2 in 1813 to £129 in 1873.
Tile latest sensation in sporting
circles is the challenge of Mr. J. B. j
Johnson, the champion swimmer, at
present performing in New York, who
wishes to swim a match with any
man in the United .States, more espe
cially with Hurry Gurr, for any sum
up to *5,000 a side, placing forfeit
money in the hands of Mr. Queen, of
the New York Clipper. Mr. Johnson
came to tills country one year ago,
and his record as a swimmer is re
markable. His claim to the champ
ionship of the world has never been
contested except at Long Brunei! last
summer, where lie won an easy vic
tory over Andrew Trnut.

April seems to have been selected
as a month for the occurrence of nu
merous notable events in American
history. On the 9th Lee surrendered
to Grant; on the 11th the openiug
shot in the late civil war was tired on
Huinter; on the 14th the United States
flag was raised over the ruins of the
samefort; on the 21st Texas was born
into the galaxy of States, and on the
19th the minute men of Lexington
fired the shot “that was heard around
the world.” Sac. Xcwx.
A Chicago tailor has secured a pa
tent for what he calls “the married
man’s precautionary coat-collar.”
The collar is made of some glazed
substance to which a hair cannot ad

inspection of the wife of his bosom.

New Revised Edition.
Entirely r. written by th* ablefit writer* on every
I subject. Prluted from new type, end ilius
! treted wit* Huvoral Thou*nd Kntfntviug*
and Map*.
The work originally published under the title |
of The New Amicujuan Ctclopaciua was com
pl©tc-l In IMC3, aluce which time tho wide ctrrula- !
tion which it lias attained iu all partn of the .
United State*, and the signal development* which
have taken place in every branch of science, lit- i
erature and art, have induced the editor* and
publisher* to submit it to an exact and thorough
revision, and to Uaue anew edition entitled The
Am MUD AS CTCLOFJtDU.
Within the last ten year* the prog re* of dl*-
covery in every department of knowledge ha*
made anew work of reference an imperative j
want.
The movement of political affaire baa kept pace .
with tha discoveries of science, and their fruitful j
application to the industrial and useful art* and
tne convenience and refinement of social life. j
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
cur red, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of onr own country,
which wan at it* height when the last volume 01,
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial j
activity has been commenced.
large accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been mad* by the indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the laßt de
cade, with the natural n-anlt of the lapse of time,
have brought Into public view a multitude of new j
men, whose, names aro iu every one's mouth, and j
of whose lives every one is curious to know the j
particulars. Great battles have been fought and i
Important sieges maintained, of which the de
tail* aro as yet preserved only in the newspaper*
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent and authentic history.
Iu preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble date*, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production In literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical ©vents.
The work has been begun alter long and car*-- j
fill preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype {dates have j
been used, but every page has been printed on |
new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, i
and with such improvements iu its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and ;
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time iu the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give |
greater lucidity and lore© to the explanations iu ■
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable feature* of scenery,
architecture and art, sh well an the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for Instruction rather than
embelishraent, no pains have been spared to iu
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the (’yclopjedia, and worthy of it*
high character.

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOB 1875.
I The. approach of the Presidential election gives
j unusual importance to the events and develop !
| incuts of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe '
them hjlly. faithfully and fearlessly.
( THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a clrcula- j
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers '
are found in every State and Territory, and its
quality i* well known to the public. We shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve ami add to its variety
j and power.
| THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be u thor
j ongh newspaper. All the news of the day will be

j trust, treatd iu a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to moke the Weekly Hun the best
family newspaper iu the world. It will be full of
entertaining and appropriate reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the must
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always

mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
The Agricultural Department i* a prominent
feature in the Weekly Hun, and its articles Will
j always be found fresh and useful to the farmer.
! The number of meu independent iu politics is
| increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper
j especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
j dictation, contending for principle, and ior the
! election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces tho country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has uo
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their
supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price *f the WEEKLY SUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays tho expenses sif paper
aud printing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for on* 1 year.
