AUSTIN, TExAs.--A letter from Austin Tex
ns, in the Norfolk Beacon, under tho date of
une /, says:
Our town, and in fact the bus sness of the whole
country, is very dull, from the continued depre-
ciated state of our currency. Itis setting worse
and worse, and is now comparatively worth no.
thing. | am getting heartily tired of drawIing
out my existence where no prospect is to be seen
OF q better state of affairs. ! have lust returned
from very pleasant trip to Bexar, Of two weeks
duration, in company with volunteer corps of
this city. We were ordered over to suppress n
mutiny in the regular army, which was easilv ac-
complisbed. Although | have been in Texas
nearly four years, this was my first visit to that
city, which since its first foundation, in tho early
pnrt of the seventeenth century, | think, has
been one continued scene of blood md SLAUGHTER.
and which is sacred as the resting place of Mil
nm, Travis, Bowie, and Crockett. # is an old
Spanish town, situated on the Rio San Antonio,
two miles from its heal. The houses are of a
soft kind of stone, one story hIgh all of which are
III bad state of repairs; the streets run at right
angles, four of which load into the public square
in tho centre Of tho town. An old church, of the
same material as the surrounding houses, stands
in the square. This square was the position oc.
cuped by Cos in 1885, when the town was taken
by Milan by storm. 1t was defended by piece
of cannon placed at the entrance Of each of the
streets, whils the church and neighboring houses
were covered with the enemy. The Amoric ans
gained possession of the houses contiguous TO the
square by means Of bitches dug across the streets,
from which for three days continual fight was
kept up, but the advantage of position and num-
bars on the side oftho Moxicans, was no barrier
to the indomitabe spirit of Milan and his men,
who compelled them to surrender. The Alamo
is famous as the place where n handful ofAmer-
leans successfully bnfled al large force for a
length of time, under the command of fSanta An
ma, and when it did fall, fell as the strong man,
and the bones of the flower of the army lay before
its walls.

STUDY AND SLEEP.-Mr. Combe says
that nature has allotted the darkness of
the night for repose, and the restoration
by sleep, Of the exhausted energies of the
body and mind. If study or composition
be ardently engaged in, toward that peri
cd Of the day, the increased action in the
brain which always accompanies activity
Of mind, requires long time to subside /;
and if the individual be of irritable habit
he will be sleepless for hours, or tormon-
ted with unpleasant dreams. If, neverthe-
less, the practice be continued, the want of
refreshing repose will ultimately produce a
etate ofirritability of the nervous system
approaching insanity. 1t is therefore of
great advantage to engage in severe stu
dies early in the day, and devote two or
three hours preceding bed time TO light
reading, music, or amusing conversation.
