Incidents i'm the History Of Tex


The French explorer, LaSalle, landed
in Texas in $780,
LaSalle was murdered by one of his
followers, March 20, 1857, near the
Neches river.
The first attempt at Spanish settle
ment in Texas was made under DeLeon
who was sent in 1859 to hunt out the
French. On the 23d of April he ar
rived at Fort st. Louis, previously erected
by the French, near the mouth of the
LaYaca river. Here he subsequently
established the Spanish mission of San
Francisco.
In 1851 Spain appointed governor
and sent soldiers to enforce his author
ity. fLGa jg
Prior to the Texas revolution in 1885
and 1886, Coahuila and Texas consti.
tuted Mexican State, with the capital
at Saltillo, in Coahuila.
San Antonio, in Bexar county, is the
oldest city in the State--it was founded
in 1898. ,5 .i
Goliad and Nacogdoches were founded
in III. Other small settlements were
soon after established on the Brazos,
Colorado and Guadalupe; they were
known as the Presidios Of San Saba,
San Juan, San Marcos and Trinidad"
But they all perished through the over
powering hostilities of the savage.
The Declaration of Texas Indepen-
dence was adopted March 2, 1886 The
Constitution Of the Republic of Texas
was Represented In the persons of David
G. Bnrnet, President; Lorenzo De-
Zavalla, Vice President; Samuel p Car
son. Secretary of State; B. Hardeman,
Secretary of the Treasuryi Thomas j.
Rusk, Secretary Of War; David Thomas,
Attorney General.
General Sam Houston was first Com
mander.in- Chief of the Texan army, and
achieved the complete overthrow of the
Mexican forces sent to subjugate Texas,
at the memorable battle Of San Jaeinto,
fought on the river of the same name,
April 2l, 1886. To him General Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna, the Mexican
Commander-in-Chief and President Of
the Republic of Mexico, surrendered
himself and his entire army.
Texas was annexed to the United
States in ls45,
The population Of Texas in 1885 was
estimated at $4,000; in lS45 at 100000
In 1850, by the United States census re-
turns, at 2l2, ,502; in 1869, by census, at
69l ,039; and by the census OF 1870,
S50,600. Now it is belived TO be above
one million.

Experiments have recently been
made to determine the velocity OF
the nepounder sAot when fIred with
various charges Of powder. From the
nine-pounder gun Of eight hundred
weight, with three and one-half pounds
Of rife, large grain powder, avelocity Of
about fifteen hundred feet per second
was registered. In order to obtain these
results on service stronger carriage Is
required, aud will probably shortly be
made. The carriage on which Sir s..
Whitworths new gun was fired on the
sands at Southport has endured the
strain Of the heavy charges exceedingly
well.

The proportion of caah means on hand is
larger than usual, and, in Gct, lager than is
profitable OF desirable for q corporation doing
an exclusively savings business. There will
doubtless be good opportunities for investing
during the winter.
The system Of doing business and Of making
Investments ia based upon the experience OF
Savings Institutions that have been in opera
ton moro than half d century, standing firmly
amidst all the vicissitudes Of WAITS, comHagra-
tions, peati1ence, financial crises, and depres-
sions. During the eleven years of business
experience which this institution has had, it
has passed through Hke experiences,
and it is believed that its course has
been satisfactory to dopositors, whose
number hos never increased SO rapidly as it
has since the great fire Of last year.

The prevalence Of the horse dtstemper early
in November, which for time caused a total
suspension Of traffic upon the streets and al
most complete suspension Of business,
threw many depoaitors out Of employment
and threw them upon tho reserves held for
them by the Savings Bank, Notwithstanding
all Of which more money was deposited than
drawn during every month OF 1871, except
ing the month Of March, when the drafts
exceeded deposits by about 81, 600. The fol-

In view OF the fact that 1879 has been, in
many respects, q remarkable year in the his
tory Of Chicago and of its institutions, the
Directors Of the Merchants, Farnera', and
Mechanics Savings Bank again print the An
nua Report Of tho Manager. The winter Of
187l-1872 was long and severe; the heaviest
snow storm was on the 7th Of March, naviga-
tfon opened late and sailors were consequent
" unemployed longer than usual, and were
obliged to draw considerably upon thoir accu-
mulated funds: The fro of Oct. 8 and ren-
dored many depositors homeless, and all Of
this clnss who had funds in the Savings Bank
found ample use for the Same in restoring
their dwellings. The Savings Bank was en-
ab1ed to assist many such with loans, as will
appear from the following analysis Of the real
estate loans now held:

The season Of 1879 was very active ono in
all departments, especially in the building
trades; 1,2l4 permits for the erection Of SUBJ
stantial buildings wore issued by the Board
Of Public Works, and the buildings are most
~ completed. It has been estimated that the
labor done amounted to the average
construction Of one stone Or brick edihce per
day, not to speak OF tho many less substantial
and smaller buildings. Though there wore
somo disagreemeuts between employers and
employees, resulting in <* strikes" moro or less
serious, on the whole the men were fully en-
ployed and received rcuaunerative wages.
