TOUCH OF TEXAS LIFE

SAN ANTONIO, Texas sc. +
There is no use in disputing the mat
ter. Texas is a great State. We mean
tie soil, the bouudless plains. the beauti-
fdl oak forests. the luxurious grass. and
Just at this time its soft. balmy breezes,
ard its beautiful nights. Don't under
stsnd us that we admire everything in
T, xas. Not by considerable. tsnasty
little rivers. its bugs and snakes, and var
m'nts Of all kinds, including a slight
sprinkling of the natives, we do beg leave
m 'st respectfully to despise. We have
ju~treturned from trip up among the
T,manches and the Sogers on the Clear
Fnrk. OF the Brazos river, and if we are
n. almost scared out of our senses, we
dent know ourself. The warm weather
foe the last month has made everything
lo,k like midsummer, and all sorts OF
creeping and singing things have emerg
ed from their winter lodgings in such
quantities that fear shall never gel
home safe. 1t was only a few nights
since, that pitched my tent on the banks
OF the Colorado. I Thought ] had select.
