Nothing so astonishes the world as
the ease with which the French Gov-
ernment raises immense amounts of
monev wherewith to pay the German
indemnity. A credit which surviv-.
ed Sedan and the Commune must be
based upon enormous wealth, and
Napbleon in his exile, no doubt,
builds the future hope of his dynas-
ty's restoration upon the picture of
enormous wealth and prosperity
France now presents as the result of
his years of Empire. Whatever his
short comings as a man, however he
may have failed as a rider, none citn
deny him an unprecedented success
in enriching his country.

Abbived.—We were somewhat sur-
prised a few áays sincé, to see an extraor
dicarv looking structure going up on the
S uth side of the square. Upon inquiry
ve found that it was Mr. N. G. Fowler's
nammoth portable picture emporium. Mr.
Fowler is a member of the National Pho-
tographic Association of the United States
and is well known in the Northern and
central portion of Texas, as an artist of
vet y superior attainments. See what the
McKianey Enquirer say :

them upon securing so able and efficient an

changes are made on the original

This is the boldest move yet, this

of Mr. George Warner, an experi-

Trouble at Bastrop.—A special

datad,the 15th inst., says :
Late in the evening of yesterday a
difficulty cccurred between the son of
Mr. F. i'oast and a freedman, in
A Tezan.
Ex-Governor Throckmorton, trae
to his record and his instincts" as
Texan, is falsifying the predictions
of Radical and the fears of many
honest men, and like a patriot and a
loyál son of the ^State, is sounding
that voice which in better days could
always rouse the people and r^lly
•them, in behalf of ;the party which
is the body and soul of all that is
Texan, truly Republican, and wor-
thy the trust and support of honest
men amongst ua.
The Ex-Gov. has - spokon like a
man and a true Democrat in Kr.
'Conner's favor, and in his speccb at
Pilot Point, towered as far above old
Bob Taylor aud Proscription Bryant
in the debate, as was possible. All
honor to this faithful and loyal son of
Texas, who doesn't know how to bo
false to his people, but now, as ever
of old, is leal and staunch, and ready
and true, and tried.
The State is awakened. Over
prairie and headland, from PeJ River

the officers take their families and
laundresses. They travel eight or
ten miles a day, lay over half the
tiste; shoot Buffalo and have a good
time generally. I had a letter yes-
terday from one of the companies
now out on a thirty day's 'scout, and,
the writer said the trip was quite":
