The H"oiHtbu Telegram calls

were a thousand fruit and veg

times would be materially bet

state tlio amonnt of bujinps
that is done in this line from
the neighboihood of Norfolk,

The great need in many parts
of Southern Texas, that are con
tigions to the -railroads, is
smaller rm, a greater diversi
fy of crops, a larger cultivation
of fruits, berries and vegetables;
inijiroveU breeds of swine, cattle
and sheep,. aiifitfheapcr .express
and railroad freights. .-In the.
vicinity ot Brciihain there is
but one man who makes a
specialty ot market gardening,
and he has a dairy in connec
tion with his farm. There are
a nnniber of persons who raise
a few early garden vegetables at
a time when everybody has
them, and they are compara
tively a drug on -the market.
Such of onr farmers as have
orchards and onr nursery men
realize handsoire profits on their
peach crop. This season qnite
a number of fanners' have plant
ed extensively of early peas,
beans, etc., for the northern
markets; and, should the ven
ture prove profitable, we may
confidently look for a revolution
iu the system of tanning that
has been in vogue in this sec
tion of country so long that the
memory of man inoweth not to
the contrary. There are other
things besides cotton nnd corn
-that-can be raised and sold for
ready money.

Tue. following arc the partic
ulars ot the express robbery as
'detailed to a Galveston JVeic
reporter, at Houston, by the
ronto agent on the train: As
the train gulled np at Hutchins
he was standing nt the car door
ready to throw 'out the mail
bag, a man ran tip and pre
sented a pistol. He jumped
back, and said to tho express
messenger, "'Eobbers are on the
platform." The route agent
put out his lamp, and concealed
his registered letter-bag The
expressman closed his car-door,
but tho robbers broke it down
with axes. They got S384 of
express money 113 ont ot some
mail packages. Just then firing
began npon the gang outside,
and the one inside jnmpcd
on1-, taking with him the un
opened packages, A general
shooting match then ensued
between the passengers and
robbers, the 'latter steadily re
treating. The expressman re
ceived two buckshot wounds
irom a gqn in the hands ot the
rear car brakesman. No one
on the train was hurt. 2so
passenger was robbed. The
expressman was not eriensly
injured. From the description
of tho robbers and their cou
dnct there appears to be no
doubt that the- are same men
who engaged in the Allen
Station affair a month ago.
The agony in the Returning
Board cases is over. Chief Jus
tice Manning, of the Supreme
court, lias rendered a decision
setting aside the verdict o
guilty in the Anderson case,
thus virtnally disposing of the
other cases. Tho decision is
based purely upon legal techni
calities. There is no doubt in
the pnblic mind that it tiiejqcm
bers of tho Iteturuing Board had
a tithe of iu3ticc meted out to
them, fifteen or twenty years
each iu tho penitentiary would
barely suffice to expiate their
crimes.
The intracies of the internal
revenue laws frequetly get care

himsell liable as the least pen
alty to thirty days in jail, A
tobacconist took a quarter of a
pound of dried np chewing to
bacco out of a stamped package
and put it in a glass jar. He
also had twenty broken and
worthless cigars which he took
ont of a stamped cignr tox
and chucked into a drawer,

agent.

A Prospect for Mjrc Moinj.
Tho House committee on
Iwnkinand currency has agreed,
by a vote of six to three, to the
bill authorizing the issue of cer
tificates for tlio value of silver
bullion deposited at the tniut
and assay unices ot the United
States. The depositor will re
ceive a certificate for the full
silver dollar value of the bul
lion, les tln cost of mint and
transportation chcrses about
one-half f one per cent.; sovritcr and a staunch friend to
that, if he deposits S1000 worth
of bullion, lie will receive about
S9J5 in cert ificn tee Tor it. Thtee
certificates nre to be redeema
ble at the treasuries in San
FraucibC" and New York, cither
in silver bullion or silver dol
lars. "And said coin certifi
cates bhall .bo receivable with
out limit fur all dues to the
United States.') It makes the
certificates money, and they will
be an addition to the money
volume ot the country. They
arc to be of the denominations
of 10 and multiples thereof np
to $1000, and thoy will pass
from hand to hand like green
backs. Tho St. Lonis Jiejniblican
says the effect of the bill will be
tp utilize all the silver iu the
country and all that may
be brought into the country,
without waiting for it to be
coined. Under the silver bill
the coinage is limited to $ 4,000,
000 per month, but under this
bill id', silver bullion in the
country may be turned irto
certificates and the certificates
put into circulation. There is
good reasons for hoping that the
bill will pass.
