Large Distribution of Texas Land.

From the Houston (Te1as) Age.
Judge Gustave Cook, now Judge Of
the Galveston and Houston Criminal Court, be-
fore retiring from the Houston Age, had the
following complimentary notice in its editorial
columns:
Capt. j. f. Foster is gentleman Of as fair
reputation for honor, integrity, business
capacity, and reliability, any iii our city.
His character for uprightness and fidelity is
unexceptionably good, and he has the conf
dence of our entire community. He is sustain
ed by and associated with the very best men in
Houston in his plan for the sale and distribu-
ton of his Real Estate. in which by the way he
has long been one of our most successful deal
ers. His whole plan is fair. honest and based
upon actual market value. Not only an
editor. but we endorse Captain Eos
ter for all We have said of him in every re-
spect." See advertisement

CHAPTER 232.
A French Romance.

A Paris correspondent of London
paper of recent date says: ROmances
III real life continue to be the order of
he day. Within the past month have
given several remarkable cases, and [
have now to deal with another equally
extraordinary and interesting. About
twenty years ago strange family took
possession of the Chateau of the Gag
nerie, near Toars. 1t was composed of
.ree persons-the ViscOunt de Finse,
MS wife, and boy of eleven named
Raphiel. The Viscount was about fifty
years Old. He led a very secluded life;
he received nobody, and spent most of
his time In improving his property. In
fact, the neighbOrs at once put him
down as a misanthrope. His wife, on
the contrary, was of very gay DISPOSE
ton, and soon made herself famous for
her doings, which, however, do not at
that period appear to have gone beyond
the bounds of eccentricity., The family
nevertheless lived on good terms, but
there was an air of mystery and incom-
patibility about it which puzzled every
body, and it was generally prophesied
that something would ooze out one of
these days. NJ. de Finse died last year,
leaving to the young Viscormt Raphael a
fortune of e12, 900. The widowed Wis
countess was not much affected by her
bereavement; she continued to live in
the same gay manner, and to afford food
for the gossips of the surrounding VII
lagos. At length, however, her eccen-
tricity took more serious turn, and
eventually the young Viscount brought
an action to deprive her of the manage
ment of her affairs on the ground oE.her
insanity. To this the Viscountess re-
piled by statement which fell like a
thunderbolt on the young Raphael and
disclosed the mysterious secret that had
SO long lowered over the strange family.
You are not my son, exclaimed she:
you are merely an adopted child, and
| am ready to prove ii. The trial came
on before the Civil Tribunal OF Tours, and
lasted several days, during which the
court was crowded with the leading
families of the Touraine. Strangely
enough, Viscount Raphael, after several
days sittings. decided on Withdrawing
the demand he had made. Whether he
thought the action againsthis pretended
mother was likely to turn against him
self is not stated; b the step looks sus-
picious. The case would then have
come to an end, had not the Public
Prosecutor insisted that the inquiry
must proceed in the interest of public
justice and morality. Judgment is ex
pected to be pronounced IN a few
DAYS
