FouND.-Mr. Charles franklin, a young
man recently from BurlesOn county, and
who is now working on the Jail foundation,
had the luck the other day to find $11O in
currency, and the honesty to deliver the
same to the owner, whom he heard inquir-
ing for it, and who rewarded Mr.. Frsnklin
with n ten dollar bin.

THANKs GIVING DAY.-It is we'll for us to
follow the old Jewish custom of holding a
festival of thanksgiving after the crops of
the year are all harvested. This was the
"Feast of Tabernacles," when for seven
days the people lived in booths, and was
the merriest of all the year. God com
mandcd the people to keep it not only in
thankfulness for the years harvest, but as a
memorial of the forty years when the
Israelites dweh in tents during their sojou2n
in the wilderness. Gods commands and
the peoples joy were not incompatible, and
thus it ever is if men will only view things
Alright. Everywhere through the Scriptures
God commands thankfulness for mercies re-
ceived, and though we cannot do up our
thankfulness on one day of the year. yet it is
proper that such day is appointed, and our
Governor has done we'll to call attention to
the occasions we have for gratitude and to
recommend the observance of the twenty
sixth for the public recognition of Gods
blessings and returning thanks for the same.
1t is to be hoped that the day will be gener-
ally observed, and while there is good cheer
at the homes, the public rendering of thanks
to the great Giver of every good will not
be forgotten.

THE STREET RAILwAY.-Agreeably to
notice, Major Dewey began work yesterday
on the Austin Street Railway, commencing
on Pecan stgest. The track, we learn from
Colonel Anderson, who was the surveyor,
will be on level with the, sidewalks, and
the streets rounded up to it from the gut
tiers on either side. So the ties laid upon
the streets, as they now are, will bring the
track to about the proper level. The di-
rectors of the road decided yesterday to
turn the road from Pecan street, at the new
Wolf building, and continue it on one
block beyond the railroad track, and there
make the terminus for the present. This
was done for two reasons. In the first place
it will better enable the company to con-
tinue their road on Cedar street down to
the freight depot, crossing Waller creek on
the bridge that already spans the stream.
And in the next place it is believed that by
passing directly along where the cars stop,
the receipts of the road would be greatly
enhanced. We think the change a wise
one, and we rejoice that Austin is so soon
to have a street railroad.

HOUSE RoBBERY. Saturday ni0h

House hoBBERY.-On Saturday night,
the residence Of Mr.. F. o. Goodale, who
keeps a boarding house near the freight
depot, was entered by a man, who took
from the pants pocket of Mr.. Goodale forty
five dollars in currency and few dimes in
change. The family were awakened by the
fierce barking of small dog in the house,
but suspecting nothing wrong, they went to
sleep again to find the money gone in the
morning. Mr.. Goodale says that genteel,
well-dressed man had been to bis house
that day peddlikg shirt buttons, and that
eight dozen were purchased for ten cents.
1t is probable, he thinks, that Mr.. button
peddler is the person who committed the
robbery, and no doubt he was only taking
observations when entering the house as a
peddler. People should beware of all ped
oilers, and especially those who carry but
small packages, which they can easily con-
ceal from an officer. No one can peddle
without city license, and our citizens
should report all peddlers to the authorities,
in order to facilitate them in arresting those
who have no authority to conduct such
business.
An effort was also made on Saturday
night, by some one, to enter the residence
of Mr.. p. Thompson, near the freight de-
pot, and we believe one other house in the
same vicinity.

A NUIsANcE.-For two or three weeks,
the digging of public cistern has been
gong on upon the Avenue, in front of the
red brick building. The excavation not
yet hall done, ana the prospect, ut the
present rate of progress, is that the
work Of completion viii be postponed
for between two and three months.
The dirt is thrown out and occupies the
street half way across. Besides this OBJ
struction, an immense pile of bricks are
thrown upon the street directly in front of
the store occupied by Haber s. Co., all of
which, while we generally denominate it
nuisance, is also public outrage.
Mayor Wheeler, or whoever else is respon-
sible, should have seen that work of this
kind was let out under such an arrange
ment as to secure its immediate completion.
It is an insult to the citizens of place like
Austin, the capital Of the State, to have an
eyesore like this on its principal street for
weeks and months. Besides, it is danger
Gus to have such an excavation in the street
without something around it to prevent
frightened horses from running headlong
into it. and thus rislking life. We have no
objection to the cistern, but we have very
strong objections to the manner in which
the work is being managed.
THE AUSTIN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION The
Austin Library Association seems to be
steadily and surely marching up to posi-
ton of solidity and permanency. Its mem
bership has largely increased of late, and
unusual interest is beng taken in its meet
ipgs by many citizens who are not members.
We understand that the organization has
rented a fine hall in one of the new Glass
ooek buildings, which will be ready for
occupancy in very few days, and which,
with its comforts aud attractions, will no
doubt tend to even increase .hs attendance
At the weekly meetings. We also learn
that the association is making arrangements
20 issue asemi-monthly paper, which will be
ably edited and contain many excellent con-
tributions from Austin's best literary minds.
The success of this organization is very
largely due to its lady members, who have
been uptiring in their efforts to build up the
association. The meeting next Friday
night is expected to be especially inter
esting. and cordial invitation is extended
all to attend.

THE question is often asked why are oil
paintings 50 costlyl The pigments and
other material used in their production are
very cheap. the resources for obtaining de
sirabIe effects unlimited, the number Of
artists ample-all of whom have prefer
ence for oil work-many o! whose produc-
tions, however, though expensive and
scarce dozen years old, appear worn, duh
and dingy, fading, scaling, perishing rap
idly, and in portraits, the features once ia
miliar and true to life, convey false i'm
preston now. Time having already oblit-
Grated, no skill can restore them. Then
why are good, welI-seasoned Gil portraits
so expensivel Principally because artists
have to be paid for idle time in wait
ing for customers TO order exOrbitantly
high-priced and frequently indifferent work; ;
also because, until more recently, the art
world has offered nothing equal or supe-
rior. But a progressive age, among other
scientific attainments, has produced also a
new and popular portrait, life-like and beau
tiful as durable Carbon, the only I'M
changeable and absolutely permanent sub
stance known, has but recently been
adapted successfully to portraits. Prof.
Hagan makes the carbon portrait especially,
and will picture large family with his su-
perior life-size portraits at the nominal price
of one good oil painting; also offers 500
to any one. who will produce faded carbon
picture of any age, size or subject. Who
will offer a reward for faded picture in
oil or any other materials Orders solicited
by L. A. Hagan & Co., Austin, Texas.

The Changers.

THE Grange movement seems to be falling into disrepute. Some of its most prominent members declare that dema- gogues and political wire-pullers have seized control of the organization, and that much more harm than good has re- suited from its operation. There is doubt less truth in these statements and it is also very evident that the progress of the country has been materially retarded by this grange movement. A war has been waged against railroads to such an extent that confidence has in measure been shaken in thls class of securities. AS 6 consequence foreign capital has been withdrawn and competing railroads, which would have been built and thereby have reduced the rates. of transportation, have been abandoned or are lying dormant. So that after all this talk about the uprising ot the farmers, the sad spectacle is shown of their having been used by political sharpers, and the result of their labors has in no way remedied single evil of which they complained. It IS not by unity of any class of labor that political wrongs are to be set right, but rather by O unity of all honest men to put honest men into power to legislate for the good of all. The farm CT cannot profit without the aid of the railroad nor can the railroad without the aid of the farmer, hence the necessity of doing justice to both interests.

Apache and San Carlos Reserve|

From MT. Ewing who recently can from Camp Apache and the San Carlos, E learn that there are at Camp Apache,
 cording to the last count, l, 580 Apach<
 Major Randall, by his strict discipline
 fair dealing, has complete control q q! them. He is undoubtedly one of
 most upright officers in the Territory
 has few if any superiors in the knowled
 of how to manage and control 1ndiaE At the San Carlos there are 580 ApacR< under the charge of Lieutenant Babcof and 1t is estimated that there are or about thirty bucks now in the mountal@ that belong to that reservation. Lies Babcock IS deserving of great credit 4 his management of the Apacnes under AI charge. Prior to last February. when the broke out and wen. on the war-path, the would not work and acted about as ths pleased. Since Lieutenant Babcock h4 had charge of them, they have built con missary and quartermaster buildings, mess house and houses for themselve1 They are required to have beds and keel their houses in order like white peopl and also to keep their persons clean. A a consequence there is no sickness amonI them, and they are beginning to apprs ciate this higher and improved conditic| of life. They have also been made to
 tiyate the soil and as result will ra& about l50, ,00O pounds of barley snd J 900 pounds of wheat. Lieutenant D. cock has demonstrated in a few vi what may be done even with the VI savages if properly managed, as
 were more uncomfortable than thex Carlos Apaches. In all other pursu
 life, practical experience is taken W guide; then why not adopt such p8 in managing the Indians. There reason why line of policy which col and gradually leads one branch of M Apaches towards civilization and self f-sUl port will not have the same effect upoI another branch If dealt with in the saIn1 way.

Irrigation.

We have not heard anything for a long time of the great irrigation movement that centered at Denver, Colorado Terri tory, and we fear there was more smoke ! than fire about the whole business. At any rate the fight which has been raging in that Territory over the federal offices seems to have effectually sluiced out all ardor for turning artificial streams over the dry and arid plains. The fact is that all we need in these Territories to convert and control all the water which runs upon ulate it and insure economy and prevent waste in its use. But running under the surface in all these vast Territories are volumes of water that by means of arte- sian wells can be brought to the surface, and what we wantfr Congress is legisla- tion to encourage the sinking of artesian wells. The encouragement needed is lib eral donation of lands to those who sink wells and obtain water. On our dry plains, covered with excellent grasses, the lands are valueless and will so remain as long as time lasts, without water. No one can afford 10 incur the expense of sinking a well and then be limited to the purchase of l60 acres of land. Congress should at once donate at least a section of land to every person who obtains flowing stream by sinking an artesian we'll and by so do- ing millions of acres will be reclaimed and used for the benefit of man which will otherwise remain to all eternity unoccu- pied and unused.

WE only had room last week to briefly mention that the 5th Cavalry had been ordered out of the Territory. We believe that we but express the voice of the peo- pie of Arizona when we say that we are sorry to loose them. They came here at 0 trying period of our history. Life and property were insecure at that time over almost every foot of the Territory and the officers and soldiers of this regiment went to work in a practical way to punish the Indians and give us peace. How we'll they have prosecuted the work under the leadership ofGen. Crook, the condition of the country shows. The backbone of the Apaches has been broken and only few fragmentary and rowing bandsare now giv- ing us any trouble. They have made record for endurance and bravery of which they may we'll feel proud and have fully sustained their previous good name.

ONE part of Lieut.. Wheeler's expedition will soon start for the field, proceeding to Arizona by way of Denver and Santa Fe, in continuation of geographical and geo. logical explorations and surveys west of the one bundredth meridian. Their pur- pose IS to accomplish hygrometic work and fill up gaps in our Knowledge of the geographical distribution of plants. ani- mals, birds, reptiles, etc. The plan has been adopted after consultation with some Of the leading scientists, and covers a field promising great and most interesting re- suits. The party will consist of Dr. J. T. Roth brock, H. w. Henshaw and James H. Rutter, names well known in scientific cir cles. Every facility has been afforded by the War Department, which has always shown commendable desire to advance the interests of science ahd develop the vast resources of our western States and Territories. It is expected that large addi- tions will be made to the national mu- scum. and geographical knowledge in- creased by the labors of these gentlemen. -[New Mexican.

A. s. McWILLIAMs of Colusa county has invented very convenient fence for corraling sheep. It is made of canvas, fastened between two small stakes, each set about two feet apart. The canvas is two feet in width, and the lower edge is calculated to be about eigth or ten inches from the ground. The stakes extend so far below the canvas as to allow of their being set far enough into the ground to keep it in upright position. Like fish-net ltcan be taken down, rolled up and put away in the wagon. It is cer rtainly very convenient way of corraling sheep at night while driving long journeys They may be made to hold 2, ,000 or 5000 in bunch.

A DETROIT company applied for pa tent to some valuable copper mines on the Francisco river about two years ago, and about three months after the application the White mountain Indian reservation was established, the southern line ofwhich runs near said copper mines, and patent has been withheld to ascertain first wheth- CT 1t would interfere with the Indians on the White mountain reserve. Those Ind ians do not nor never have lived within sixty miles of these mines. The country between where the Indians live and the mines is a rough, broken country, and is only fit for hostile Indians to hide in and keep away from their pursuers. Two years ago we went to the White mountains, and after three days search for guide to go to the Francisco country only succeeded in finding one Indian who had ever been there, and he had not seen the country since he was a small boy. We understand that the Indian department has instructed Agent Roberts to report on the subject, and if he reports the facts, which we have no doubt he will, that will end the matter, and the company will get title which they ought to have had long ago.
