9 While at Austin we visited and
interviewed Mrs. Dickinson, an old
lady whose name will go down in
Texas history as the only white
adult survivor Of the massacre of the
Alamo at San Antonio, in 1886.
Her husband was among the slain.
She was wounded and overlooked
in thu slaughter and afterward pro-
'tected and sent through the lines
withhcF child, which was only six
months old. She conveyed the first
news Of the Alamo disaster to Gen.
Houston, who soon afterward de-
.feated and captured the defiant and
.insolent Santa Ana at San Jacinto,
near Houston. Mrs. Dickinson
married afterward and is now Mrs.
Hennig. The Texas people have
appreciated her m%isfortunes and at
different times the legislature has
voted her such liberal allowances Of
land and money that she is quite
well off and lives in fine style. 1t
seemed like talking with one from
the dead, to hear her in a simple
out concise and earnest manner de-
scribe the ten days siege of the
Alamo, the actions and last words
of Crockett, Travis and Bowie.
Her identity is established beyond
question. She is a native of Ten
nessee, lived in childhood nine
miles north of Franklin, where
her father owned a farm and slaves,
and was married at Bolivar in
Hardman county and mentions the
names Of Pitsore Miller and a few
old citizens yet living or remem-
bered, and removed to Texas when
a very young wife in 1885. The
mention of this episode closes these
very hasty sketches of our trip
through Texas trip that gave us
all enlarged ideas of an immense
State, its great and varied
resources, generous and hospitable
people and its great future, and
placed us under pleasant obligations
to many new-made friends who are
kindly remembered.
The trip was concluded by way
of Dallas, Sherman and Paris
through the very finest farming
country we had seen, and thence
to Tezarkana, where we parted
from a car that had been as a home
for two weeks, aud our generous
and considerate friend, Mr.. Rich
ard W. Thompson, jry who had ac-
companied us over the State.

A very searching investigation
was carried on a few years ago in
the north of England by two fami-
lies who were searching up their
respective ancestry. The strife was
great between them, each deter
mined to look after antiquity fur
Their than the other. One Of the
families, whose name was Spenser,
employed an artist to paint an his
toric scene, representing the build
ing of the ark by Noah and his
sons and the multifariOus and yari-
Gus cargo. On the gang plank
leading to the deck Of the ark two
men were seen rolling up a large
box, on one side Of which was
painted in large letters, "Relics,
insignia, and papers belonging to
the Spenser family" This was
considered a coup d etat hard to
beat; but the other family deter
mined not to be outdone in the an
tedeluyian pretenses of their name,
prepared at great cost and research
a record of their antiquity. In
describing the exploits of one oil
their ancestors at a very early day,
who was represented as a man OF
some authority, this remarkable
passage occurred: During this
year Adam and Eve were driven
out Of Paradise
