Rates Of Advertising |;
Bound to Bring Them.

Out Of about thirty business firms, of
one kind and another, in Cleveland, only
three of them feel that they are able to
advertise. Of course this commendable
liberality proves that ours is commercial
town of considerable importance. 1t will
be an easy matter to locate Universities,
Railroads, and othcrl public enterprises,
at such point. A town whose business
can afford to pay its 'o,al newspapers, all
combined, the enormous sum Of two hun
dred dollars per annum, for advertising,
is bound, at no distant day, to be great
inland cNy--in horn. We are msking
a living without this patronage-can get
as much advertising as we want from
abroad, which pays equally as well-and
we don't have to take the pay in store
goods--but still we dislike to print pa,
per and send it abroad with only two or
three local advertisements in tit speaks
bad of our business men--shows that they
are long way behind the spirit Of the age,
and that as far as business is concerned,
there Is no life about it. This may be the
way to attract the attention Of men of
means to a place, but for the life Of us we
cannot see it in that light through these
specks. If you want the outside world to
know that Cleveland is a real live town
let your lights shine through the columns
of your local papers.-If you don't want
to advertise in the BANNER, you have two
others printed in town, 60 and advertise
in chem. We have fine circulation, and
of course we would give our neighbors
the advantage Of it in preference to stran:
gers. If they refuse it it is no fault of
ours if the town is placed among one horse
towns.-We are easy as far as we are con-
cerned-we can live without it.-Ctve-

Comal county, and numbers about $500
inhabitants, three>tourths of whom are
Germans, which gives it quite a foreign
appearance, both in style of architecture
and in language. Yet The town presents
handsome appea rance, and the Germans
and Americans seem to get along in the
greatest peace and harmony. The Comal
river heads short distance above the
town and comes rushing down in perfect
torrent, predicting water power for
which the owner has refused Fifty thous-
and dollars. 1t is we'll watered and a very
healthy town. The surrounding scenery
is beautiful. A chain Of mountains Dor.
ders the place on the north, and stretch
away for miles cast and west. Never
failing springs burst out from these noun
tains, forming branches and creeks that
flow down and water the valleys at its
base. To the south, as far as the eye can
reach, is seen the undulating prairie, dot,
ted over with peaceful herds" quietly
grazing. We leave this evening for San

AFTER LONG YEARS.
BY ALPHA,


once more my weary wayward feet,
Have pressed the unpsved village streets,
Where years ago they swiftly fell,
Ere time had tollod,my childhoods knelll
Once more,they slowly wandered DER,
The ground which they but touch'd before
And llngeredat each well-known spot,
No", half remembered, half forgotl
Around the school-house grey and old,
Where in summer heat or winter cold,
My childish footsteps found their way,
Nor dared In wood or field TO stray
But brought me swiftly, gladly here,
Or, sometimes trembled slow in fear,
Because, how strange the memory seems!
My lesson had been lost in dreams!
And then, 1 sadder, slower, strayed,
O'er ground tome that hallowed made,
BY three lone graves! unmatched, un.
known,
But yet which must claim, my own!
As then tried the fast-locEed gate,
That oped to me, by sad-eyed Fate.
Three times alone--oh, awful three!
When Death was carried in with me.
| tried the gate, but tried in vain,
lneH sauly sought ana round again,
The steps, where could climb the wall
Ihat threatened then as now to fall!
| found the graves, by patient care,
A mothers, brothers., sistcr's--.hree!
And read the names with binding tears,
To see them thus; after long years!
But IL obscured by rust and moss,
Ihe names OF those loved, the loss,
Is stillas sadly, mournfully, clear,
AS when a child l laid them here!
And so leave tlrem-suken graves,
Where no bright flower or willow waves!
Content-because what slumbers here,
Is not what my heart held so dear!
Because the moss decay and rust,
But covers only lifeless dustl
GOD has their souls! which brighter grow
In this great loves, eternal glow! Q
they brighten cen my darkened life,
Tighten its burdens. calm its strife!
so that with not all bitter tears,
Hove them for perhaps "Long Yearsr'

EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
On the 10th inst, we left Austin in
company with friend for a jaunt over tc
San Antonio, taking in our route San
Marcos and this place. Thinking il
would interest some of your readers
who have become discontented with their
native hills in Fast Tennessee and have
an eye to emiyratiug to Texas, we have
deemed it a duty to note and report thro'
your valuable columns, the prospects OF
this portion Of the State.
1t is q fact generally known through.
out the country that Texas suffcred'great
ly BY the frosts carly this spring, and
more recently by the grasshoppors. The
first aud second planting of corn and cot.
ton was entirely, or almost entirely, de.
stroyed by the frost, and the wheat was
materially damaged. The third plant.
ing of the crops have been considerably
damaged by the grasshoppers; but we
are glad to say that they are fast disap,
pearing. Everything is again looking
thrifty, and the prospects along the road
from Austin to this point give promise OIL
at least moderately good harvest, IL
fact it is almost unreasonable to expect
failures from this section of the country
as the soil is so prolific that the crops will
recover from nearly any back sets, save
that of drouth.
San Marcos is thriving little town o
some fifteen hundred inhabitants. 1t i.
the county site of Hays county, beside,
several handsome mercantile establish
ments, it has fine court house, and Q
commodious and elegant Institute fol
young ladies. The town is located on The
west bank Of the San Marcos river, a bold
rapid stream. as clear as crystal, tina,
heads only one mile above the place, there
are two mills on the river at this place.
With its railroad prospects, its good
society, its public spirited business men
and the vast agricultural resources which
surrounds it, we predict for it bright
future, ranking at least as very impor
portant inland town.
From San Marcos to this point we were
pleased at the continued prospects O
good crops, on every hand our eyes gazed
on promising, though slightly retarded
vegetation. The distance rs miles, from
San Marcos to this place is thickly settled

A LONDON PUFF FOR OUR CENTENNIAL.
President Grant announces that an interna-
tional exhibition will be held at Philadelphia
in the year 1876. The resolve TO dis inguish
his second term of office by an invitation to
the whole world to the city OF Brothery Love
is one which will give general satisfaction in
the United States. The Quaker metropolis
is peculiarly fitted by its historical and geo.
graphical position, for such gathering. and
we believe that the presidents invitation
will meet with very laige response. Both
exhibitors and visitors will probably show
their willingness to contribute to the sue
cess of the exhibition. That success must,
of course, depend in great degree on the
largenesS and the liberality of the plan;
and we may trust to the energy of the
American people TO make it a quite worthy
successor of the splendid show by which vi
emma is at this moment equaing if not sur
passing, all previous exhibitions. As a COM
p4ete representation of the industrial activity
of the New World, there will be enough to
distinguish it from former exhibitions, in
which OF course, Europe has held the first
place, anG to give it marked individuality,
1t is probable that, ii the scheme is success
fully carried out, a large number of Euro
Eeans may make it the occasion of a visit to
the wonderful continent on the other side Of
lhe Atlantic, Thus, apart from the influence
it may have on trade, it will at least give an
impetus TO transatlantic travel; and make,
not Amerieans, but America and its institu.
tions. better known on this side the sea. We
cordially hope that the exhibition may prove
to be one OF the greatest successes OF the
Presidents stration.-LOpdOn Neus.

Mr.. STEWARDS EUROPEAN VOYAGE
The New York Sun, in speaking Of the de-
parture for Europe of Mr. and Mrs. A. T.
Stewart, last week, gives the following hints
at his intentions; Mr.. Stewards latest pre-
vious trip to Europe was made in 1867. His
present departure is made to torecuperate his
health and enlarge his business abroad. In
the interval of his absence, he will visit the
principal European capitals, in most of which
he has branch establishments of his New
York dry goods palaces. 1t has long been his
ambition 10 make some of his transatlantic
houses equal in magnitude to those here.
While in Paris, he will re-arrange his store
there, which was recently left vithou: man
agtr, by the death of FIR ,ncis Worden, who
was his resident millionaire partner in the
French capital. His longest stay will be
mad in Vienna. Mrs. Stewart will stop at
an English watering-place the most of the
time her husband is travelling on the continent.
In addition to extending his business, Mr..
Stewart will also order the latest fabrics and
novelties that are manufactured in Europe
for his Broadway stores. The sea VOYAGE
and tour which he has undertaken are some
what remarkable, considering that he is in
his 10th wear and has but just recovered from
severe illness.
