And by the way, spraking of oictus, the hitherto detested and detest uble plant is soon to be utilize ! in & man- ner that will make all familiar with its virtues, It has been discovered that the fibrous pulp of the cactus plant contains all the in:redients that enter into the com- position of paper. From experiments al- ready mado it has been found that pajer superior to the finest linen or r ce can be rodu ed from the pulpy mass hid and gua ded by the outer covering of thorns and +pi ex which las made tie plant in- famous and an object to Le dreded und avoided by all after one short, first experience. A company of easiern and southern capitalists has already been formed n New York City with a ¢ pital of $250,000, who propose # 01 to engage in the manufactura of |, a- per from the cactus plant, Surely nothing that exists wascreated in vain. But to return to the railways in Texas, At the close the coniederate war Toxas had only 330 miles of railway in op- erat on, xnd fz.n that time until 1868 h d been constructed only 138 mile<additii nal S nee then the increase been marked, but only since 1877 has it 1een remar kably rapid, as in thet period have no lexss than 2,500 miles be n huilt, and of this milruge 1ot fess tha 1 1,%0 uring the presenty: ar. It is estimated that during the past twelve months £19,000 1 00 have bren expended in the sta ¢ f r railway building. When it is considered that all this vast sum has been expended diree ly in the state some idea of the wonderful prospeity prevailing there a present may be formed. The southwistern system, owned and controlled by Mr. Gould, in Texas-alone comprizes no less than 2,500 wmiles, while the entire »ystem comprises some 5,0 0 5. ‘exas railcoads are payin - inktitutiens, as is shown from the earnings of 1480, the Litest obtainable dats. when w 55 miles of read in opera officially reported earmings amounted to near y £12,000,000. Not le s thun 7,007 ads al miles of ralw.y are at present projectrd in the state und for which charters have been granted, «nd it is safe to say th .t souo 2,- 000 wiles will be built dur ng 182, These fizures soumd larg ey lnok large on japer; they are large in reality, and did we not know that Texas embraces an area f 274,356 square miles, we wou d be inclined to doubt some of them. AND NOW A FEW FACTS on this suhject of area and capability of producing. ~ The cott n crop of Texas in 1878 wns 951,000 bales, or nearly twice and a half the largest crop ever raised by slave Luhor before the war. This crop ocoupied 2,825 square miles. The wi le consumnp- tion of otton in the United States in 1878 w.is 1,508,060 bales, which ceuld have been raised in Texas on le-s than ft 00 squarey miles. Tie cotton crop of the Unit d States in 1878 was 1,073,531 bales, On good land in Texas, at one bale to the were, this would require liss than 8,000 square wiles, The world wes inall 1 mi can weight anmually which could be grown in Texas on less than 19,000 square miles. are it aof Tesas... a required for’ 12,000,000 ba cotton Area rom inlug for other products ... The above demonstrates clrarly A A why capital + ceks the southwest at present. e, AB regar 8 the saci 1 and economic con- dition of Texas, Mr. Edholin speaks sub- stantially as fllew: No otber state in theunion, no ether country on the face of the carth has given nor_can they give their y uth the riyal heritage with which "T'exas has endowed hers., There is & permanent $3,600,000.
