AUsT1N-TuE HEROES OF THE ALAMo.-Aus :
tin the capital of the State OF Texas, is III Ira
Wis county, where the drought has cut short the
crops for the last two years, and outside OF the
usual appendages of "the seat of government,
presents very few attractions. The State House
is huge pile of yellow limestone, with no pre-
tensions to architectural beauty or taste. The
Governors residence is duplicate of the man
sion of W.R. Hunt, on Shelby Street. This,
with the new land office, is the only edihce OF
public buildings marked by any distinguishing
pecuarities The only object of especial in
terest saw at the capital, was the monument
in the vestibule of the State House, erected to
the memory OF the heroes Of the Alamo. As
Won enter, the name OF Crockett stands out upon
it in bold relief; upon either side, the names OF
Bonhstn, Travis and Bowie, and under these
those of their companions who so dearly sold
their lives on that memorable occasion.
Upon the monument are the following IN
scriptions: :.
$40 the God of the fearless and free is dedi-
Gated this altar, made from the ruins of Alamo,
March 6, 1886, A. D."

as pack ANIMALS, and the experiment proved be-
You'd all question the great superiority OF the
camel, both as regards rate of speed and amount
of burden. He prefers them for all purposes
that he has employed them, to three times the
number of horses and mules. They can, be-
sides, be as easily bred as mules. .-.
