In an article on th
g'neering and Mining Journal of New
Yon, says:
The praiseworthy efforts of the Mexi-
c in G ivernment to make a fitting pre
s ntation of the the natural resources of
the country, and the progrees made in
manufacture, at the forthcoming exposi-
tion in Puis, should result in an exhibit
which will astonish many visitors The
only detail that we have received is from
the Ministry of Fomento, and relates to
the collection of mineral specimens
from evt ry mining district in the Kepnb
he. The number of those is about 12,000.
and as a collection of silver bearing ores
is likely to be unrivaled by anythiug
that has hitherto been brought together
from any one country in the world. It
will be. however, a ereat mistake for
people, dazzled by this magnificent dis-
play of mineral riches, to suppose that
in them alone lie the res wrces of the
country, for just as the agricu'tnral
wealth of California has far tuttstripped
its gold production, so will the products
of the soil and the forests of Mexico be
come a larger source of wealth to her
soon than her mines, The development
of the country has now ct mmenced in
earuesr, thanks to the establishment of
Security for the industrious' and of the
means of communication with both home
and foreign mirkets. The foreign capi-
tal that is being invested in tbecountiy is
giving an immense impetus to th's de-
velopment, and the increase of banking
facilities which are being now for the
first time extended to all the principal
cities will aid materially in the
work,"
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Baltimore ?un, after discussing
the bad condition of the railroads of the
west and showing how its farmers ar-
crimped financially by Jselling theit
crops in a low market and by high tar II
goods, draws this comparison: "In tli
South the situation is better, the crops
being of a kind for wbich there is h
Well-sustained demand at all times, ami
there are other well kuown caus-s fm
the growing prosperity of tUe people an.i
railroads of that section. Bat in th
extreme west there is said to be littl
pr spect of decided improvement, evee
If the next crop should be good. Rnl>
ro id rates are sure to be low. Mortgagee
«n farms are ottengood investments, bu1
there are said to be large nreas not worth
for-cosing the mortgages on. *CJ-

"Young men, come to Texas!"
TEXAS IN THE LEAD.
C. P. T eat, «a well-known rai'road
contractor after milking an extended trip
over the Nicirtgua ('anal route wi'h a
view of constructing a considerable pari
of the canal is reported to have said:
"There are no serious engineering diffi-
culties. If the work was to be ione in the
Uuitfd t-tates, tlie cor, could 1 e
estimated as easily as that of a railroad.
As located, every part of the work can
be carried on without delay. The surface
of the lake is 10? feet above the «"a The
level will extend to within fifteen mihs
of the harbor of Greytown an the Atlantic
side, and to within three miles of the
barber of Brito on the Pacific. Lytig
between tb.se distances will be an unin-
terrupted waterway of 152 miles. The
terminus of the canal on the Pacific is at
the mouth of the Rio Grande, where there
is a good anchorage. About three miles
of the canal from the Pacific toward the
lake will be iu the valley of this stream.
The remainder of the distance will be
nostly dry excavation. Th*. Heaviest
piece of work on the line is the greiit
divide cut across the ^an Francisco range
Tire cut is to be through roek three mil s
long, with an average depth of laO feet.
There is no record of ishy rock cut as
large.
"Ttie company will s^on receive bids
It s pretty well satisfied as to the cost of
work, and if the bids are una itisfactory
the company will do the work. The
cl m ite is better than on the isthmus. In
Nicaragua northeast trade-winds bow
eight or nine moths in the year, and tlm»
drive away malaria and keep tlie temper-
ature down. The engineers of the com"
patty have been there a year and a h ilt
under the most trying circumstances, and
not one was ser:<>u*ly ill during that time
An expedition will btart from the United
States May 10, and upon its arrival at
Ureytown active work will be begun."—

Thomas Cunningham, of this place,
who is a corresponding member of the
Numismatic and Arebteological society,
of New York, possesses, among his many
other "curioa." a complete file of Plan-
ney's Almanac from 1808 to 1887, inclu-
sive, the publication of which was stopped
in 1887. In looking over them one is
struck by the variety of dates on which
Caster Sunday occurs, every day in the
month of April being represented except
the last live. Throughout the file it oc-
curs live times on theJ'Jthand five times
on the 16th of April; four times oireach
the 1st, Sd, 11th and 13th of April, and
four times on the'81st of March: three
times on the 4th, Gtb. 0th, 7th, 8tl». 10th.
1.1th, 14th and 22d of April and the 27th
and 28th of March; April 25, 1883, being
the latest and March 22,1818, the earliest
dates on which it occurs. Fight dates in

RvRtemalic planting on a national
scale must wait, and will lie sure to wait
until the little remnant of our forests
shall lie administered economically, and
at such a profit on costs of exportation
as will justify the outlay required to
cover costs of replanting, but meantime
millions of acres of denuded forest land
may lie preserved from the destruction
of its soil by lire, or its erosion by water,
for the trilling cost of collecting and
scattering the seed over their surface
