Cossack and Turk.
[Burlington Havfkeve ]
The other day a veng’eiul
Cossack, having overtaken, after
B hard chase, a pacified Turk,
thrust about five feet of lance
through him to see if he was
sound: and while meditating on
the best means of extracting the
probe-either by pushing the
rest of it on through, or pulling
back what had already gone
through -he observed certain
indications of restlessness or
discomfort on the part of bis
late antagonist. Being moved
into com Bashin, he bent over
the postrate soldier and asked:
“What appears to be the dif-
few-kilty with you!”
To which the impaled one
responded that “He didn’t know
Cossackly, but he believed it was
something like distension of the
spleen.”
Whereupon the impaler, re-
marking that in that case he
needed a little something to act
directly upon his liver and raise
it into greater activity, vigorous-
ly maimipnlated the lance a few
times after the manner of a
pump-handle: and shortly after-
ward the conversation ceased,
under the rule that no conversa-
tion can be carried on by one
person.

A Growing Nuisance.
Why has the American a
greater bibulous tendency while
witnessing a three or five-act
play than at any other time!
Or is every man of the crowd
who cut and run for the saloon
at every fall .of the curtain in
the habit every evening of his
life taking a drink once in half
or three-quarters of an hour ; or
does it involve such mental mis-
ery for the American to be shut
up in the same building with his
wife that he must brace himself
up to renewed endurance by the
use of stimulants! But these
three or five male migrations to
the saloon in a single evening is
a curious feature. Foreigners
have occasionally mistaken the
exodus for an alarm of fire. La
dit-s endure it and gnash their
teeth over fringes and silk fray-
ed threadbare by the boot and
knee which crowds past them
coming and going eight or ten
times during an evening. Ladies
also seem at theatres the strong
er sex. They do not require the
half-hourly glass. Or if they d ,
no one has been made aware of
!t. Yet if the gander requires

OF the famous '“Premium” Peters colony
lands through which it will pass, which com-
prise 3,400 tracts each of 320 acres, selected
twenty-five years ago, title perfect. These
lands are in the coal and copper belt, and of
the most choice in Young. Stephens, Throck-
morton and adjoining counties, a beautiful,
pleasant and remarkably healthy region, un-
rivaled for all kinds of stock, and thus far by
test not surpassed in production of wheat,
barley, oats, corn, cotton, etc., and exempt
from grain-weevil and stock flies which pre-
vail south of latitude 311-2 degrees.
CHARACTER OP POPULATION.
Its people are mostly from the old States, of
a sober, industrious and intelligent, class, and
alive to the importance of morals, general
imnrovement and progress and enforcement
of the laws, which are rigidly executed.
PROGRESS.
Three and a half years ago, in the whole re-
gion west of Parker and Jack counties, there
was not exceeding 100 stock-raisers and a
score of fanners, both have steadily increased
until to date (September 1877) the population
may safely he estimated at 20,000, and likely
will reach 40,006 by the end of the current
year.
YOUNG COUNTY.
Has about eight-tenths arable land ; three-
fifths prairie, two-lifths timber, rich friable,
chocolate, mahogony and gray soils. About
100 miles front on the Main, and 20 miles on
the Clear Pork of Brazos river. Superior
quarries of stone, brick and fire clays,
salines, iron and copper prevail, and coal in
great abundance. The rougher part is the
south-east portion. Population now, Sep-
tember 1877, about 6,000, and rapidly in-
creasing.
GRAHAM
The county seat, is handsomely laid out on
beautiful grounds, with, most attractive sur-
roundings on survey of Texas & Pacific Rail-
way, 85 miles from Port Worth. Though
scarcely two years old it has now, September
1877, about 600 Inhabitants, and fast increasing
with au-enterprising, thrifty and intelligent
class of people, the equal ot any town in or
out of die State. It has a cotton gin, saw
mill, flouring mill, three blacksmith shops,
one gun and machine shop, one tin shop,
eleven stores, county and telegraph offices,
one newspaper, the Graham Leader, two
schools, a Presbyterian and a Methodist
church, and likely soon will have a Baptist

—Investors in the new fourj
per cent, bonds are not enconr- j
aged by the condition of the
market for Government securi-
ties. The decline in gold was at
first paid, down to 99. This is
rough on the Syndicate, which
was thought at first to have
struck a bonanza in monopoliz-
ing the entire loan after a cer-
tain date now passed. If the
Syndicate places the four per
cents according to the time fixed
by the Government for calling
in the five-twenties for which the.
new bonds are exehangable, they
will have to walrz to the tune of
fifty millions during the next
mouth, the dates and amounts of
five-twenties to be exchanged
being as follows: October 5,
$10,000,000; October G, 10.000-
000; Ootober 10, $10,000,000;
October 27, $10,000,000; No-
vember 3, $10,000j000. Total,
$50,000,000. Let us see if the
men in • whose interests this
scheme was concocted will he as
prompt to proceed in the fulfill
inent of the contract when the
new bonds are ‘at a discount as
they were inexorable in stopping
the sale to the people when the
time for the popula sale of them
expired,—Montgomery Adverti-
