The foregoing letter was handed us
yesterday by the Sheriff, with the re-
quest that we answer it.. We have de-
cided to do so, scriatim, and in man
mer which we trust will be entirely
Ineligible to our friend in the land of
flowers. The geographical history OF
Texas is II big one. II is bounded by
the Rio Grnndc river on one side, Red
river on another, and the Gulf of
Mexico on another, and by reference
to school atlas it will he seen to
occupy big green space in the south
east corner of the diagram. The
country is healthy, water good and
land excellent, but we can't say how
much corn twill produeopcf "AciiER.'
We don't measure land that way In
Texas. We suspect that u good'many
aches, in the small of the back, are
experienced in the course of year by
those who make extra good crops.
Timber Is plenty III some places; III
Others wtaint thar" For sheep, cattle
and horses the range Is magnificent,
as any school book on the subject of
Texas will certify. We don't know
what landca be bought forper "acher"
don't sell it by that measure either.
We have railroads-indced we have,
for instance, q road from here to Gal
weston, another to st. Louis, another
to Brooklyn, and one commenced TO
Fort Worth, and one commenced to
Wichita, andanother to be commenced
to Laredo, and one ditto 10 Springfield,
and another ditto to New Orleans, and
on the map about three hundred and
sIxty-Hve lines representing intended
lines, all centering at Dallas.
Az for steamboats,, we have not done
a very big business in that line lately,
but the Trinity river is here and Is
bank full, waiting and ready for the
Great Eastern. The most public place
lin this city is Fendley & Millers, just
under the court room, andin that place

"GEonGE FISHER, Greek Consul nj san
Francisco, IL dcnd.'
The above telegram has gone the
rounds of the Texas press, in the last
two weeks, without u word Of comment
40 far az we have seen. The time was,
in days long past, that the death OF
George Fisher, in Texas, would have
been considered n public loss
George Fisher was II Greek who
Anglaclscd his name after leaving his
native country. He was an accom-
pllshed English and Spanish scholar,
He came to Texas anterior to the rcvo-
luton Of 1888, and, having lived in
Mexico, he became n valuable acWisl-
ton to our cause. His name runs
through the records of the struggle OF
1856. He was honorably identified
with very important events, and rem
derod valuable service,
On the organization OF the porma-
ncnt government of the Republic, he
made the only official translation ofthc
laws of Coahuila and Texas into Eng
fish that hascvcr been made, lie long
lived in Houston lllied valious offices,
wrote some useful essays, and in divers
ways maintained an honorable posi-
ton in the public mind.
Early in the excitement he went TO
California, and the announcemgnt of
his death Is the first we have heard of
him for anllmber of years,

PETRIfIED STUMPs.

believe that a petrified stump, or piece
OF petrified stump, is to be found in every
house or cabin within forty miles of Pixies
Peak. Some citizens own several hundred
pounds of these curiOsities. They take great
pride IN exhibiting them to tourists, and
they are always ready to sell them at a bar
gain or to give them away. These stumn.
come from valley in the Rocky noun

Peak Last week your correspondent WIS.,

Within square of half mile there were
thirteen of these petrifactions All but one
had been ruined by curiosity seekers. That
one had evidently been a tree of gigantic
SIZE. 1t stood at the foot of picturesque
ledge of rocks. The stump arose from the
soil to the height of three feet, and il was at
least ten feet in diameter Though presery

From the Vatican side of the Tiber had
left Rome. The Pope received in audience
some eight or nine students Of the American
College. who had just been consecrated for
their clerical duties. They were introduced
to his holiness by the excellent rector, DR..
Chatard. who very kindly gave me some
account OF the reception. They foun.: the
Pope in good spirits. He conversed with
the students quite while, and told them
OF incidents tha. had occurred as far back
as the year 1913.
DR.. Chatard. who had not seen his holi-
ness for three months. found that the veneer
able pontitf is looking paler than when he
saw. him last, but his face is of very
healthy color. His recent illness ihas GER
tainly weakened him. but he has. to all ap-
pearances, still some years of life. He SAYS
mass every morning and performs all the
functions of that sOlempity with ease. A
week before this he had been unable, on
repeating the certain words, to 'nrn his
face to the people on account of tn. pain
ne experienced; bu. he now can turr com
pie.ely around without difficulty.
Ttoush he doctors are unwilling ria. ne

receives many distinguished individuals,
gives audience to all the persons OF his
court, receives the foreign ambassadors to
the Holy See, besides attending to all the
duties connected with his high office. In
fine weather he goes into the Vatican gar.
Gen, where he takes exercise, while in IN
favorable weather his promenades are con-
fined to the galleries of the Vatican. In
short, he is declared to be recovered. "In
fact" said an American lazy to whom the
Vatican 10 always open, "the recent attack
has made the holy Father young again."
