Sweeping our eyes around to see if
we had been dreaming of the heat
and sand, and stunted shrubs, we
found them still there, reeling away,
away, away, miles and miles upon
miles to the distant mountain barred
horizon; and there, down there was
Tadmere in the wilderness, the Dia-

her life-boat, sprang in, with neither
hat on her head nor shoes on her
feet, reached the wreck just in time
to save the two soldiers as they were,
about losing their hold from exhaus-

ished, and rowed them to the light-
house. Miss Lewis should be among
the first to receive the new decora
tion to be bestowed by Congress for
heroic deeds in saving life.

of a huge mortar, and scattered what

Bryan is a better market in every
. respect than Huntsville. Cotton sold
here will bring from $2 50 to $5 more
on the bale than Huntsville. Goods
can be bought in Bryan cheaper than
in Huntsville. There is a difference
of one cent in favor of Bryan on
fourth-class freight from Houston or
Galveston against Huntsville. Nearly
all the freight' brought to Bryan is
fourth-class. There is a difference in
car load rates of $7 in favor of Bryan
and againt Huntsville.
There are more .cotton buyers in
Bryan than in any other interior
town in Texas.
Bryan has better banking facilities
than any other interior sown in the
State.
These are facts cannot be dis-
proved.

. Mr. J. H. Barbee, a Salado mer-
chant, was in the city yesterday, and
spoke encouragingly of the. cotton
prospect in Bell county. He says
the crop is larger this year than
last, and that it will come to Austin
for shipment in place of going to
Rockdale. The distance to Austin
is five miles greater than that to
Rockdale, but it is a much better
road, while the freight to Galveston
from each point arc the same.
Col. Wm. Poston, of Caldwell
county, has about one acre in Afri-
can cotton. It is exactly like wool.
In fact, when the seeds are extracted
it is impossible to distinguish it from
the finest wool. It grows on a stalk
six or eight feet high, very much
like a. sassafras shrub. He has only
one acre of it, but it grows redund-
antly, and he will supply the country
with seed.

At Seguin we,halted for break-
fast—the loveliest village I have seen
in the State: white, clean, cool, a
perfect oasis, suggestive of wells and
palms. The landlady told me that,
they had had no rain since the 8th of
April and no dews, and yet to within
the last three weeks their gardens
lad not suffered and the crops had
not been affected at all. Is not this
country cut generis^ a land of para-
doxes? From Seguin I lived in the
East, and principally with Shadrach,
Meshack and Abednego. No one
has ever driven or walked in a hotter
thing than our stage coach since their
day. It was marvellous. The sun
seemed to have gathered into his
quiver all the heat of all the summer,
and hurled his fiery arrows through
the tremulous atmosphere, rolling up
the scant foliage of the mesquite, be-
l falling again slowly at Fulton, .but is

eight .inches from the last rise, which

The Waco Reporter says that the
; financial afairsof Waco are day by
‘ day getting in a more prosperous .con-
dition, and it is the intention of the
present administration to keep them
so. His Honor, Mayor West, informs
us that the amount of scrip now in
existence is only about one third, as
much as the collectable taxes of the
city which are due and yet unpaid.
It is in the intention of the city gov-
ernment to never have more scrip in
existence than one-half the collecta-
ble taxes of the city, thus making
those taxes a solvent bond and guar-
antee for the redemption of the city
money.
