a good yield ct tton more especially.

Mu. J. J Walker returned Fri-
day from Gillespie and Simon coun-
ties. He reports crops in Mason in
excellent crndritn corn and cotton
doing welL They hive been blessed
witb good rains and everything looks
fresh while in Gillespie the adjoining
county the rains have been very light
and corn and cotton are suffering very
much from oVo';-;'it and the farmers
are much dir..u.--.i;ed. The grain crop
has been harvested and the yield was
very poor from eight to twelve bush-
els per acre. Should the rain we are
now having reach them it ia not too
late to be of benefit both to corn and
cotton.
Depctt Sheriff Kirk arrested in
this city Taesdy Dr. Lycurgui Erwin
of Bryan charged with land crooked-
ness on a warrant issued by Governor
Roberts based on a requisition from
Governor Shelley M. Cullum of Illi
nois. Dr. Erwin claims that he pur
chased a league of land ia tbis Bute
from Dr. Tullis in 1874 and bis agent
id Illinois traded said land to a Mrs.
Ella P. Webber of that State. He says
that it was acknowledged before a no-
tary public of tbis city. Deputy Sher-
iff Kirk will leave this morning via the
Internal iunal having in charge Dr.
Erwin for Chicago.
Still's political prospects are for-
ever ruined. He has recently patented
a saddle tree of the pattern commonly
known as muley" having in place of
a horn a bump like unto a camel's
back. The tree ia quite popular in
this city but one of them was recently
taken by an Austin boy among tbe
faithful G. B's. up in the mountains.
It was quite acurio8ity to the denizens
of that qqarter and provoxed many
facetious renrarks from both men and
women. The latter called it a "to-
mnti'4 rights saddle" and asked tbe
young man how bis sister managed to
ride it to meetin'. It will never do
for a family saddle in the c uatry. and
all the Pumonas tnd Ccreses are donn
on Still.
Mr. C. G. LIcbbabd shipped from this
city yesterday suuie 40000 pounds of
wool which with h'slornier shipments
make some oOo.OOO pounds of choice
wool that he baa shipped from
this depaitnent alone tiiis season.
Great credt is due Mr. II. in establishing
a wool mtrket n Au itin equal to any in
tbe State. We congratulate tbe wool
glowers in having disposed of their
wool at full value compared with New
York and Biston prices and receiving
their money at once thereby sating all
losses from tbe gret t failures of wool
merchants and manufacturers of the
East. We are pleased to see such
buyers in our market and extend to
Mr. IL a cordial invitation and hope
to see him among us next year. Mr.
Ilubbxrd leaves us in a few days foi

A gentleman from Wilson county
and Western Texas reports that not
withstanding tbe long and .protracted
drought there will be good crops
raised in some sections and at least a
half crop through most of the country
where be has traveled. Stockmen it
seems sr3 the principal sufl rers. Many
are moving tbeir cattle to where there
is water which any many cases is
considerable distance. He reports an
old farmer who has lived in Texas since
1830 who has juat planted bis corn
the second time and says that be has
several times replanted his corn once
as late as the Fouith of July and with
a good season made a good average
crop and hope in addition to tbe light
yield of bis crop already made and
ga'hered to raise corn sufficient to
last him by replanting.
Mb. IJik. Leer returned Friday
from L alville baviog In chtrgetwo
prisoners fugitives from justice. They
escaped some three or four yesrs
ago and 11 -id to Leadville think-
ing to evade arrest; but net
so. Tie officers of tbe law are eysr
on the aleit and will sooner or later
bring outlaws to justice. Tbe reporter
was unable to get tbeir names. Mr.
Lusy states that the Leadville excite-
ment keeps up and the tide of em-
igration is still turned that way. He
gives glowing accounts and says tbp.t
the town of Leadville has now twenty-
five or thirty thousand inhabitants.
Prospecting and building is still beins
pushed on. A Urge number of smelt-
ers and furnaces are constantly run-
ning and people are seen ia every di-
rection bard at work with tbe pick ax.
Tbe mountains are still covered with
snow but that does not impede the
work. There are many .who are
unable to get work' and those that
are able. to get away are returning to
their homes.
Thr increase in internal revenue re
ceipts of this district for the year end
ing Juna 30. 1879. over that of tbe year
previous is $5240.23. Tbe total
amount collected was $30652.53.
There has been a heavy decrease in
the U til of sales of beer stamps1 ac
counted for in tbe fact that beer of St.:
Louis Cincinnati and Milwaukee
manufactures is sold here at such low
figures as to overcome the competion
of our loesi brewers and to drive them
almost entirely out of tbe business.
Cigar manufscturers seem to succeed
beit3r(as there is quit j an increase in
the Bale of cigar stamps. Distillers do
not appear to have done very well the.
sale of tsx-pald spirit stamps having
fallen off though one large distillery
has operated quite successfully. There
is in the warenoase of tbis one distil-
lery much more spirits than there were
ever in the whole district in any previ
ous year. A large increase of revenue
baa accrued from special taxpayers
dealers in tooaoco malt liquors and
spirits. Tbis latter fact is accounted
for by increase of population and tbe
revival of commercial activity.
TnK Fourth was ce ebrated in the
House Friday. ;Col. Bob Taylor
and tbe other loyals had been trying
to adjourn in honor of the day and
failing he possessed himself. of an ar
tificial spider and went to work to cre-
ate confusion. He bobbed it be o
the faces of several members and tbe
boys and the lobby kept up a perpetnsl
Utter at his freaks and the antics of
those he surprised. Col. Bob went
bobbing his spider here and there and
finally took Col. Ashbel 8mith for a
green one. He approached him cau-
tiously and down went the spider be-
fore Col. Smith's face and up went the
Colonel. He reached out for Col. Bob
in earnest bpt the latter bobbed
down and avoided the indignant
blow of the dignified . member
from Harris. Col. S. was in earn st
and in tho twinkling of an eye it was
all over. CvL Bob did avoid tbe fist
of CoL S but immediately after-
wards be felt the forcible effect of shoe
leather and an examination might
prove that he is already growing black
ta at least the nethermost portion of his
body. Tbe House was convulsed with
laughter and an innocent member ask-
ing what was the mutter CoL Smith
replied it waa "only an illustration of
the plan of paying as yon go."

The Brooklyn Deaf-MuU leader of
June 9 contains a three-column
editorial in explanation of i's former
attacks upon Gen. Henry E. McCul-
locb in which it is acknowledged that
these publications have been through
ignorance made in injustice. It says:
"We publish the Utters that passed
between Ger. McCulloch and Prof.
Dobyns so our readers may see how
ungentleman'y Prof. Dobyns bandied
the superintended and also show hew
be got summarily bounced.'"
A fain tbe Deaf-Mute IjcaJer says :
"After the dismissal of Mr. Scott
Dr. J. L. Carter of Missouri was ap-
pointed to fill tbe vacant seat. But
this doctor soon allowed himself to be
made tbe puppet of outside influence
particalarly tbe agent of Dobyns.
Things grew hot for Dr. Carter and
he resigned to avoid tbe results tbat
befell Mr. Scott. Prof. J. R. Dobyns
wss then made principal. Not satis-
fied with tiia Mr. Dobyns bad false
charges made and signed by perjurers.
Among the earnest agents of Prof.
Dobyns we find our class-mate Alfred
Kearney who we know as a man of
little sense with a pair of spider-legs
and capable of serving more than one
master. The false charges were sent
to tbe Legislature instead of the board
of trustees."
This is enough to show the nature of
tbe trouble handled by the paper re-
ferred to. The communications pub-
lished which are now reproduced in
the Statesman the ed tir says were not
sent to him for publication but were
nevertheless used because the public
it says hss a right to "know how tbe
mixed sta'e ot affairs at that institu-
tion stand " . For this reason as it
concerns this community more directly
than ary other' tbe letters are Inserted

Mr. J. B. Dobyns:
Sir I have given you ample t'me for
reflection and have no withdrawal of
the offensive - language used in Jour
note of the eleventh im tint. I
1 1 do nit propose to couple this with
my official action as you have cowardly
intended to force me to do in order to
evade the personal issue made in the
note referred to ; nor do I propose to
be forced into a wrong position by tak-
ing satisfaction for the personal insult
until I have first put myself right by
declaring that every position taken by
you in tbe note is false or untenable.
At one time during our connected
history I indorsed your "integrity
.faithfulness and efficiency" and after-
wards from sad experience found that I
wss mistaken .in all of fhem and as
-early as the fifth of last month took
occasion to make a formal withdrawal
of every indorsement I bad ever made
of you where I thougtt they would
affect any public interest and since
then while I have not msde it my
business to abuse you voluntarily I
have whenever asked aboat ourrels
tions stated candidly that I had no
confidence in you whatever.
Since then you have been continued
in the service of this institution and I
have treated yon with tbe respect due
your position and nothing more.
When yon Bay that I violated any
contract that I ever made with you
you know that you lie.
Our contract wss to pay yon one
hundred dollars per month ia state-
ments and give you the use of the
premises you occupied herer. Tkit
waa all. ' ' ' i
At my suggestion the trustees author-
ized me to give yon your firewood and
ttceiity-four dollars per month in "tu
ple groceries" and charge yon rour dot;
lars per month for feeding your horse
all of ' which was done until they re-
voked t te authority. 1 1
The milk yon gtt twice every day
waa an act of my own with the consent
of the trustees and you got as much as
we could spare you up to tbe day you
left here. . j
: The last point yon perfidiously make
is mean and cowardly as well as hotel
jalM. . 1
. if true as yon stated it and you had
one spark of manhood or sense of bono
in your whole composition yon would
have defended your wife immediately
and if reported t you and you had
any doubt of my intention you should
have acted tbe more by demanding a
personal explanation and have not
tried by your cowardice and perfidy
forced me to admit tbat I had inten-
tionally acted nngentlemanly toward
your wife which would have been the
case if I had accepted your resignation
as tendered. l
After all your other villainous efforts
t have cm removed so thai yoa might
get my place had failed... yon have
aougbt these lying pretexts to resign as
the but reH to effect this object and
in it yoa hare been guilty of tbe batmt
act tbat has marked your coarse to-
wards me. t
- I enclose yon herewith your dismia-
sal upon official grounds tbat are strict-
ly true and could add much more if I
was willing to speak of your personal
conduct as connected with your duties
here aa a teacher and which I do not
hesitate us this commnaicaUoa to de-
clare treasonable towards a ansa who
bad been your friend unfaithful to the
State that paid yoa for your eeryiefs
and extremely demorab'xiag aadcoc-
rnpting to tbe morals of tbe pupils. . .

The probability of tbe early building

Ia fact every railroad con tern pli ted

quadruple prices of lands anywbeie

in value. It will be the same shortly

Newspapers and. tbeir correspondents
report that the rush of immigrants to
Texas is over." This is true. There is
but little disposition on the part of pur
people to encourage .the very mixed
class which for the past year or two'
has been pouring into our State. Tbe
railroad companies have found tbat
tbeir permanent and stable interests
are not benefited by these people who
yre led to believe by immigration agents
and other interested parties that once
landed within our border a fortune
awaits them. On the contrary it is
now tbe policy of our railroads more
especially tbe International to furnish
faits and figures and statistical infor-
mation of a reliable character which

Havana Jnly 7. The English
steamer from Vera Cruz brings advices
from the City of Mexico to the thirti

of the crew of tbe Mexican war steam-

Oruz mutinied and seized the steamer
while tbe commander was on shore.
Simultaneously some of the officers of
the Vera Crnz garrison attempted to
raise a revolt at tbe instigation of
some discontented persons. Nine of
the rebels were killed. The steamer
Libertad went to sea. The war steam
er Independencia and other steamers
had gone In pursuit and sae will prob-
ably be overtaken. i.

are very conflicting. 1 he government
has apparently mastered the situation
but since the revolt of the garrison a
reign ef terrot has prevailed there.
All tbe Vera Ciuz merchants are hos-
tile to the government in consequence
of the passage of the law against con-
traband trade and they have ever
since been in a state of quiet revolt.

voltvs who were killed were assassin-
ated in the guard house on the pretext
tbat they had attempted to escape.

Misrepresentations of tbe condition of
Texas society a St. Liuie Republican's
correspondent asys bsve beeu produc
tive of great injury. 1 bey bave brought
into tbe State an army of thieves and
desperadoes. These lawless characters
bad only to read such papers ss tbe
Q lobe-Democrat to believe that there
was no accountability here. . Even such
a respectable paper as the New York
Herald that ought to be better inform
ed denominates Texas in a recent num-
ber a "paradise" for such characters.
Strange tint none of these respectable
journals deign to notice tbe fsct that
three-fourths of tbess desperadoes and
depraved characters sre importations
brought here by the easy means afford
ed by railroad communication; and
what is iqislly remarkable none of
tbem seem to be informed as to what
has been done by the State snd people
to dispose of tbetn. There was tbe

"para Use." Of these within the last

QFor nearly six months Ujt. Shep-
herd (tbe Boas) has been negotiating
with ton owners for wbst is know a as
the Buopilas sniae located ia tbe 8 ata
of Caibsabaa aboat 300 miles from
M-"''"j aa the coast and Toes n
the principal tow a ta Axiagaa. Two
weeks ago the aoadltioaal papers were
aicaed and tne . adveataroea
"Uoe4M accompanied by Gov. MoCook
of Colorado kx. Etwees both of
them interested la the ran tare air.
rvnA-'p an tmineat New York taia
in expert sad aa experienced M xi-
awe! aae star tea to c limine ta j
property. From Itazatlan the party
will make iu way eastward to the
Sierra Madre mountains st the fact
of which is tbe wonderful mine of -topilaa.
Up to 1S20 the Marquis of
Bustamcnte a name that has probably
been considered aa fabulous aa that of
the explorer Gulliver or the veracious
chronicler Eli Perkins owned and
worked the Batopilas mines and when
tbe lucky old man was gathered to his
fathers he had extracted therefrom not
Ires than $30000000. One day the
King of Spaic heard of him and his
mine and straightway ordered it to be
escheated to the State bat the crafty
Bostamente reckoned that a part waa
better than the whole and loaded np
a ship with a million dollars' worth of
silver bars whi'h he sailed with to the
palace door and obtained a reversal or .
the orders in council. Ia 1863 the
well-known firm of Wells. Ferro fc
Co. obtained possession of tbe Bssta-
mente property snd csve since owneu
snd worked it. Tbe yield bas been
not near so lsree but it has been
steady. A great tunnel was projected
and bas been pushed nearly a halt mile
into tbe mountain crossing eighteen
yeins oat of one of which $2000000
were tabea ia six months' time. But
Wells Fargo dt Co. bave grown old.
and. couatinfi? their wealth by the tens
of millions as they do bave agreed
finally on a price at wbicb they win sen
tbeir famous mines to Gov. Shepherd
snd his associates and hence tbe de-
parture chronicled above.
A raw days ago it was repotted tbat
only $5000 waa wanting to completo
the subscription for the railroad from"
Manor to Bound Reck to connect with
tbe Georgetown road. These enter-
prises undertaken add quietly carried
out by towns in the neighborhood of
Austin are slowly bat surely sapping
lbs future importance and prosperity
of our city. The counties north and
west of Travis are settling np rspidly
by a thrifty energetic and enterprising
people without a market snd cheap
transportation for farm products. Tho
aurplua crop of grain etc cannot be . .
sold to advantage. The expense of
transporting corn wheat and cotton
forty or fifty miles would be if saved
a very fair profit on an average crop
and farmers who have these hesyy ex
penses to bear soon find tbey cannot
compete with those living contiguous
to large cities or public highways.
There is but a small margin of protit
at the best for in agriculture as wi ll
a manufactures cotnpoti ion is close
with thefe heavy exposes of t ranspor-
tation. The intelligent farmer Boon
flod.-i be must either chauge Ins
location to a point where he can put
his products cheap y on the market or
assist in opening up a highway to his
lands. These little crop road? such
a fiat from Georgetown to Hound
It ck and from thence to Manor are
but veins leading ti the main artrnca
which by river or sail lead to the
great commercial centres. It is evi-
dett that if Austin ever becomes of
any importance it must be as a menu- '
factoring town. Capitalists are not in
great bar te to venture into unknown
fields nor are they likely to thrust
themselves on a people who sre un-
friendly. Like farmers manufactur
ers must bave a ready and cheap out
let for their surplus else tbey cannot
compete with others tn foreign mar
kets. Hence in this age of active com-
petition in all industrial pursuits com-
mercial and manufacturing countries
must in order to pros perT" command
cheap abundant egress and ingress. .
If tbe people of Austin more especial-
ly the property holders continue to
enjoy this Rip Yan Winkle sleep per-
mitting small towns and villages con-
tguous in self-defense to divert trade
and capita) tbey will wake up some
fine morning and find it too late to
grasp ths advantage offered sad los t
forever.

Preserving Egos. A French phar-
macist offers tbe following discovery
for preserving eggs ; namely to aae a
solution of silicate of soda which be-
log of a very glutinous or adhesive
character is kept in a l:quid state by'
adding a little tepid water. Simply
dip the fresh eggs in this snd then dry
them. When thoroughly dried snd
completely covered with ths silicate
solution which any druggist can furn
ish tbe eggs can tben be put away.
and will keep it is stated for more
than a year without injury.
It ia aaid of the stinging scorpion of

tbat tbs female carries ber young in a
batket-Bhaped receptacle on her back -where
they at -once attach themselves
and commence sucking ber bloody' Of
course the mother soon succumbs to
tbis unfilial treatment andbegins to
droop. Tbe young ars-'by this timo
sufficiently nourished to demand more
substantial food snd they kill their
mother snd deyour her. Should one
of tbe young ones become detached
from the living nest it is st once killed
and feattxl upon by the mother. Thus '
it seems tbat while tbe female willing-
ly sacrifices ber life to ber offspring
yet she does not hesitate to kill tbem
should tbey be so devoid of instinct as
to refuse to remain where sbe plsces
tbem after birth. While tbis ia going
