PORT WORTH. TEXAS. OCTOBER 27.
France it appears will vie with
England in doing honors to General
Grant, a grand reception was pre-
pared for him in Paris.
General Grant arrived in Paris
on the 24th, and called on President
McMahon on the 25th. Grant can
explain how military rule can be
successfully used in a republican go-
vernment, without causing a revo-
lution. That is the information
McMahon desires. The meeting of
these great military chieftains will
produce a sensation in political cir-
cles.
A winter campaign either in Eu-
rope or Asia appears impracticable,
favor of this portion of the stat^F!il^J^^P"^g*
These are self-evident facts to all |
who are familiar with the state and
its products. The northern people
who have settled in this part of the
state, will concur in the views we
have presented. We have not in-
dulged in exaggeration nor in dis-
paragement, but stated facts.

the roads being; impassable and foi
age for stock being exhausted,
liars is well supplied with provi-
sions for a seige of two months. The
Russians are burning the town with
shells, and it may be carried by as-
sault at any time. Plevna is being
more closely beseiged and provi
sions are becoming very scarce. We
hear nothing from Suleiman Pasha,
upon whom the hopes of the Turkish
cause now depends.
The adulteration of beer in order
to cheapen its cost, is attracting the
attention of scientific men. Mot
only is glycerine us.ed to save malt,
but aloes is used to save hops. We
could stand these ingredients if
cocnlus indicus and strychnine were
not also resorted to to make the beer
bear transportation. In Germany
experts are employed by the gov-
ernment to analyze the beer and to
confiscate it and pour it into the
gutters. In the absence of these
safe-guards it would be advisable
for the lovers of the beverage to
drink less beer and more water.
A dispatch from St. John, Mew
Brunswick, gives a most thrilling
account of a fire which destroyed
230 wooden houses in Portland,
Maine, on the morning of the 20th.
Over 1,000 were burned out, loss es-
timated at $200,000. The founda-
tion of a safe gave way, burying a
half dozen men and boys; one man
was killed, another fatally injured,
and the others seriously hurt. It
states that sick women were carried
from the burning buildings, while
others were running frantically
through the streets looking for their
missing children, and could with dif-
ficulty be prevented from rushing
into the flames. This report was
not sent in full to the press south,
therefore, we refer to it now.
During the suspension of work
in the coal mines, near Scranton,
fire damp accumulated in large
quantities. After using great ef-
forts to remove it, the Jennyn shaft
was pronounced safe. An explo-
sion took place from a miners lamp
applied to a drill hole which filled
the chamber with lurid flame. The
miner escaped and the gas flame
died out, not, however, before some
rubbish coal had become ignited.
In spite of every effort the
fire had extended. The fire engines
of Scranton were brought into re-
quisition to no purpose. A dispatch
to th e Me w York S u n, fro m w h i e h
we have obtained this information,
says that an acre of the mine was on
fire, and that it would be necessary
to flood it before it could be extin-
guished. It is so intensely hot in
the mines that it requires relays of
men to remove the rubbish to pre-
vent the fire from spreading.
IMMIGRATION.
The Houston Telegram of the
25th, has an interesting statement
from Gen. J. B. Robertson, general
immigration agent for the Texas
Central railroad. He says that the
immigration in September was fifteen
per cent, greater than it was last
year. He estimates the immigra-
tion the last twelve months at300,000,
from the best data obtainable, and
that it will reach the enormous fig-
ures of 350,000 this year. The tide
is now from the northwest, but it is
flowing in from all quarters,
not excepting California and Colo-
rado, which he puts down for 5000
cattle raisers. He made this sig-
nificant remark: That greater in-
ducements were offered to settlers on
the line running east and west
through Washington county,- and
that a majority of the people now
coming would settle in that section.
He said that every county could
get all the immigration it wanted
by selling lands upon reasonable
terms, giving from three to five
years in which to make the pay-
ments.
Let the land holders of Tarrant
county use proper exertions to se-
cure these immigrants, most of
whom have some means and are
generally practical farmers. Those
who are pecuniarily interested in the
future growth of Fort Worth should
see to it that our fertile prairies,
the best wheat land in ..Texas,
should be brought into cultivation
as rapidly as possible, and thus have
a population which can support a
flourishing city independent of dis-
tant counties.
Gen. Robertson also spoke of two
expert miners, who had explored
the counties in Morth-west Texas
where there are deposits of coal, and
thinks they made discoveries. These
experts would not divulge to the
public what they had found, but
“would propose to the Central rail-
way to extend its line to a certain
point, offering it largo shipments
of coal.”
We have not given proper credits
in every instance by quotation
marks, having referred so frequently
to the article in giving the main
points elicited by the interview with
General Robertson.

Taylor had been previously tried
