IT is reported that judgment was, on
Monday, rendered in Bastrop against the
Central Railroad for $24 900, for the injury
of an employees hip. Probably the man
was himself more to blame for the accident
than any one else, and judgments OF the
kind should be rendered with great eau
ton. There seems to be too much Of de-
sire to blame railroads and other corpora

LLANO MINEs.-Major g. r. Johns has
just returned from five weeks prospecting
tour through the mineral regions of Llano
and Mason. The flattering reports hereto
fore obtained in regard to prospects in this
part of the State are thought by Major
Johns to be we'll founded. He has visited
many portions of the two counties named,
and has been instrumental in laying bare
several leads of ore, some of which give
promise of excellent returns. He represents
having opened mine in Llano county
which is said by good assayists TO be very
rich. The lead of this mine, where it has
been exposed, is thirteen feet 10 width, and
can be worked with comparative ease
by experienced men. 1t contains what
miners call the "peacOck ore, the princi-
pal metal being copper, with per cent. of
both silver and gold. The highest assay
from this lead has gone to 700 pounds of
copper, with enough silver and gold from
any of the assays to pay all expenses.
What glorious thing it will be for Austin,
and all the country west of this, if these
mines of Mason and Llano should gather
about them thousands of men, and yield
up millions of treasure

In interior places IN New York a good
method has been established for feeding
and caring for the houseless poor, tramps,
Migrants and the respectable destitute, and
the method might be initiated here and
elsewhere. They make them work for
what they receive as relief. The town
board of audit, answering the purpose of
board Of relief, have an arrangement with
the police, and to them the charge of the
poor is given. A tramp or vagrant receives
ticket from the board, which he presents
to the police, who give him a plank bed.
The terms of the entertainment are that
the applicant shall, in the morning, before.
breakfast, break two bushels of stone, and
on these conditions he remains or leaves,
just as he pleases. The plan has proved
success. The tramps, Migrants, or what
ever they may be called, work for what
they receive, and the theory of mendicant
charity is to great extent dispensed with.
Austin is always more or less cursed with
tramps, loafers, Migrants and balf-grown,
idle, ignorant boys, and il the above plan
were put into operation here, an immense
amount OF lime rock might re broken up by
them and distributed on the streets
JUSTICE 1EGENER was called upon the
other evening to marry young couple,
and of course he yielded TO such soft ad-
vancement. After he had united the low
ing pair in the holy bonds of matrimony,
the ardor of his younger days ami the pa
trotic zeal that characterized him in
the Twelfth Legislature came back
to him, and he was inspired to make
speech upon the subject of immi-
grafton. During his remarks he is reported
to have made some very pretty flights of
Imagination, and the words that fell from
his lips, with ''sweet German accent, !"
seemed to carry conviction to all present,
and no doubt the advice he gave will be
willingly taken by all who listened to him,
and especially by the couple he had just
Marie. The Judge reminded the loving
pair that the adoption of the new Clnstitu
ton had done away with the Immigration
Bureau of Texas; that the present Legisls-
ture was not friendly to immigration by ar
tiicial means, and that, therefore, he
deemed it the duty of all good citizens to
turn their attention to the increase of pop
ulation and the development of the State
The Judge. evidently, has the good of the
eountTy at heart, and believing, as he does,
in home products, il is hoped he will go
on in the good work he has Just begun.

As THE international road Is to be opened
to Taylo station in few days, and daily
line of stages put on between this city and
that place, il occurs to US that the Interna-
tional Company would consult its own in
terest by opening a ticket Office in this
place. No doubt many people going West,
North and East from this city would prefer
to go by the International route, as u four
hours stage ride to Taylor will be no more
tiresOme or expensive than ride down to
Hampstead, with the additional annoyance
there of having to lay over several hours
till the arrival of the up train from Hous-
ton. Certainly if the International
intends to run night train with sleepers
from Taylor, its route would be preferable
for all those going from this city to St.
Louis, Chicago and the East to that Of the
Central and NJ, K. and T. route. Will
the International consider the propriety Of
opening a ticket office in this city and give
Us the rates of passage to different promI-
nent points

ton at Washington College, Virginia, and
when the South was no longer allowed de-
Tense he sought home in fair and beautiful
Texas, and taking advantage of his acquire
ments, commenced TO make livelihood by
teaching AT the same time he had been
seized with Il desire, similar to that which
prevailed in the minds of many other South
erners at that time, to emigrate to the BraZils
He was on the eve of putting such design
into execution when a series of letters, pub
lished in "A prominent Southern paper, from
the pen of one who spoke by experience in
regard to the fitness of Brazil as a home for
Americans, arrested his attention and caused
him to settle down in dead earnest to shape
the fortunes of his life in Texas

occupied himself in mercantile pursuits, and

A LETTER has been received in this city
stating that a Deputy United States Mar
shall was one of the passengers on the stage
robbed near Dallas few days ago. He
was armed with fine repeater and was
rIding on the seat with the driver, aud they
were talking about stage Tobberies just as
the three men came in sight, when the Mar
shall says, reaching down for his weapon,
Il believe they are robbers and We hSd bet
ter be eady for them" Just at this mo-
ment the men noticed the demonstration and
presenting their pistols, remarked put that
down or we will take care of you, and
down went the weapon into the bottom of
the boot of the stage, and the young man
was relieved of his fine repeater and about
$40. The robbers called the Marshal by
name and inquired how times were in Aus
tin, ETC., and We believe the answer was
that they we're not as lively down this way
As up about Dallas.

MINING EXCITEMENT recent
| y from the silver mines up in Blanco, San
Saba and Mason counties report that tn ere
is considerable excitement up there regard
ing the silver mines, and every stran-
ger that arrives in place or stops at ho-
tel is at once suspected of being the agent
of some silver mining stock company, or
a California miner just out on a grand pros
pecting tour. Major Johns, of this city,
has been absent in Mason county some days,
where he has a mine, and Mr.. Balm
the jeweler. has been up to Blauco where
he owns large tract of land which is said
to contain rich mining districts, and what
they will be able to report the public is
anxiously waiting for. From observations
and tests already made, 1t is said that from
$50 to $500 can be realized to every ton of
dirt, and that, too, with slight excavations.
There is no doubt but there are rich silver
mines in many places west of Austin from
fifty to one hundred and fifty miles, and it
begins to look like the day of their success
full working is near at hand.
