DREAMING IoLANTHE.-Probab The
most wonderful thing to be seen at the
State Fair will be the Dreaming Iolan-
the, a fac-simile of the rare work of
art modelled In butter, which formed
one of the chief attractions of the great
Centennial Exposition. The effigy rep
resents the daughter Of King Rena of
Denmark, who in infancy lost her
sight. The Fact was kept a state
secret, and she was affianced to a
prince of Lorraine, as is often the
case with royal connections
of this sort, without the two ever hav-
ing met each other. The affianced
husband, who had concluded to break
the engagement, discovered her in the
royal garden sleeping. He fell in love
with her beauty, not knowing who she
was, and while thus overtaken with
desperate love, she awakes and with
this waking sight Is renewed. The
effigy represents the scene in the gar
den. 1t will be seen upon the fair
grounds by thousands.

LONDON, October 29.-The Manches-

showing that about GO per cent. of the
looms and spinGles in Lancashire and
Cheshire cotton districts have stopped
or are working on short time.
Twelve Austrian officers left Vienna

Austrian army.
LONDON, October ga special
from Vienna to the Independence Beige
of Brussels says that England has aG =
dressed protest to Russia against her
non-execution of the treaty of Berlin.
But the Times in a leading editorial
article, while admitting that the time
has come when some step must be ia
ken, thinks that collection of the re-
representatives. of the powers will be most
effectual, and believes France, Aus
tria and Germany will not hesitate to
unite with England in protecting the
provisions or the treaty.
QUEENSTOWN, October 29.-The

ted to show favorable changes, CHA

gold and notes from Scotland is antic-

Is, however, apprehensive that money

demands Tor gold. The Afghan affair
may require the government to send
silver to India. The Indian market
for silver is now bare, and the demand
thus created would raise the price and
go bring off the German stock, which
Is believed to be still large.

MAJOR MoULToN returned on Sun
day from the White Mountains and a
general tour through the East and
North, where he spent about three
months. The Major looks even young
er and healthier than when he left, but
he returns single man-that is, he
''returns to his first love-" He reports
that the people of the East and North
are aware of the fact that there has
been no yellow fever in Texas this
year, ana that the interest in Texas
has therefore increased and he thinks
there will be lively immigration to
the State this winter of industrious,
well-to-do people, those who come to
buy farms and to make other invest
ments. In Indiana and Illinois, the
Major says, the Texas fever runs the
highest, but the tide of immigration
from those States, as from all the
others, seems to be towards North
western Texas. Major Moulton thinks
that all that is necessary to largely in
crease the immigration to this section
is effort on the part of our people and
the railroads. A combined effort
should be made by the people and the
International and Central railroads. and
good reliable agents should be sent to
the Middle and Eastern States.

Hon. E. b. Turner, Judge Sixteenth Judicial
District:
Sir-The fourth annual exhibition of
the Capital State Fair Association COM
mences on their grounds adjoining the
city of Austin on Tuesday, October 90,
1878, and continues throughout the
week, embracing October 30, 80, 81
and November 1 and 2, 1878. This
exposition will in many respects be the
most interesting that we have yet had,
and in financial point of view its i'm
portance IS very great. The object of
the present exposition is to establish if
possible upon fair business founda
ton this association as one of the per-
manent institutions of this community.
Every dollar collected will be applied
to the settlement of the outstanding
this we are successful, it is our pur-
pose, by euergy and enterprise, by in
creased attention to the revision of the
premium list, and to the infinite de-
tails necessary to its management, to
make this association emphatically a
State and not local fair. To succeed
in this we must have the assistance and
presence of as many of our citizens as
possible. Therefore would request that
the court adjourn from Tuesday, Octo-
Der 90 to November 4, 1878, so as to
give the officers of the court, the ju-
rors, litigants and witnesses an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the exhibition.
If you cannot adjourn the. court alto
gether, if you could discharge the ju-
RES and only try cases by consent, this
would aid US greatly. We have con-
ferred with the members of the bar as
to this application.
Very respectfully,

A NEW ENTERPRISE MIR. David L.
Cross has sold his mill, two miles be-
low the city, and about fifty acres of
land to four brothers named Chambers,
from Iowa. They propose to build a
new dam and a first class four-run mill
with the best of machinery. They are
practical, solid men of means and they
make a valuable acquisition to our
community. Both the Central and the
International, we hear, have agreed to
build tracks down to the mill, and it is
whispered thst the Messrs. Chambers
will put in other machinery, either an
elevator, an oil factory, a wool or cot
ton factory or paper mill. We
really regard this as the beginning of
the mandatory era in Austin, an
event that has long been desired. 1t is
to be hoped that our citizens will not
longer hold back and look to strangers
to do what they should do themselves.
Success to the Messrs. Chambers in
their enterprise.
