growers In having disposed of their
wool at full valae, compared with New

their money at once, thereby wing all
losses from the greit failures of wool

The Fourth was ce .ebraied in the
House Friday. Col. Bob Taylor
and the other loyals had been trying
to adjourn in honor of the day, and
failing, he possessed himself of an ar
tificisl spider and went to work to Gre
ate confusion. He bobbsd it be e
the faces of several members, and the
boys and the lobby kept up perpetual
litter at his freaks and the antics of
those he surprised. Col. Bob went
bobbing his spider here and there, and
finally took Col. Ashbel Smith for q
green one. He approached him eau
tiously and down went the spider be-
fore Col. Suith's face, and up went the
Colonel. He reached out for Col. Bob
ia earnest, but the latter bobbed
down and avoided the indignant
blow of the dignifed member
from Harris. Col. 8. was in earnt st,
and in the twinkling of an eye 1t was

THE increase in internal revenue re-

There has been a heavy decrease in
the t. tai of sales of beer stamps, &C.
counted for in the fact that beer Of St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukee
manufactures is sold here at such low
figures as to overcome the competition
of our local brewers and to drive them
almost entirely out of the business.
Cigar manufacturers seem to succeed
better, as there is quit, an increase in
the sale Of cigar stamps. Distillers do
not appear to have done very well, the
sale of tax-paid spirit stamps having
fallen of, though one large distillery
has operated quite successfully. There

lery much more spirits than there were
ever in the whole district in any preYi-
GUS year. A large increase of revenue
has accrued from special taxpayers
dealers IN tobacco, malt liquors and
spirits. This latter fact is accounted
for by increase of population and the
revival of commercial activity.

A GENTLEMAN from Wilson county
and Western Texas reports that, not
withstanding the long and protrscted
drought, there will be good crops
raised in some sections and at least a
half crop through most of the country
where he has travelled. Stockmen, it
seems, are the principal suff rers. Many
are moving their cattle to where there
Is water which, any many cases, is
considerable distance. He reports an
old farmer who has lived in Texas since
1889, who has just planted his corn
the second time, and says that he has
several times replanted his corn, OF &c
as late as the Fourth of July, and with
good season made a good average
crop and hopes, in addition to the light
yield of his crop already made and
gathered, to raise corn sufficient to
last him by repldntIng.

A FEW days ago it was reported that
only $1,000 was wanting to complete
the subscription for the railroad from
Manor to Round Rock to connect with
the Georgetown road. These enter
prlses, undertaken and quietly carried
out by towns in the neighborhood of
Austin, are slowly, but surely sapping
the future importance and prosperity
of our city. The counties north and
west of Travis are setting up rapidly
by thrifty, energetic and enterprising
people without q market and cheap
transportation for farm products. The
surplus crop of grain, etc, cannot DO
sold to advantage. The expense Of
transporting corn, wheat and cotton
forty or fifty miles would be, IL saved,
a very fair profit on an average crop,
and farmers who have these heavy ex-
penses to bear soon find they cannot
compete with those living contiguous
to large cities or public highways.
There is but small margin of profit
81 the best, for in agriculture, as we'll
az manufactures, competition Is close
with these heavy expenses OF transpor-
tation. The intelligent farmer soon
inds he must either change his
location to point where he can put
his products cheap y on the market OF
assist il opening up highway to lis
lands. These little crop rusds, such
that from Georgetown to Round
II ick and from thence to Manor, are
but veins leading to the main arteries
which, by river or sail, lead TO the
great commercial centres. 1t is evil
dent that il Austin ever becomes of
any importance it must be as 4 manu-
featuring town. Capitalists are not in
great haste to venture into unknown
fields, nor are they likely to thrust
themselves on people who are I'M
friendly. Like farmers, manufactur-
ers must have a ready and cheap out
let for their surplus, else they cannot
compete with others IN foreign mar
kets. Hence in this age of active COM
petition in all industrial pursuits, COM
mercial and manufacturing countries
must, in order to prosper, command
cheap, abundant egress and ingress.
II the people Of Austin, more esptcial-
ly the property holders, continue to
enjoy this Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, per-
hitting small towns and villages con-
tguous, in self-defense, to divert trade
and capital, they will wake up some
fine morning and find it too late 20
grasp the advantage offered and lost
| forever.

DOMESTIC ReceIpts.

To CURE DAMP AND MILDEw.-In
damp closets and cupboards generating
mildew, tray full Of quick-lime will
be found to absorb the moisture and
render the air pure. OF course 1t is
necessary to renew the lime from tiiae
to time as it becomes fully slaked.
This remedy will be found useful in
safes and strong rooms, the
damp air Of which acts frequently most
injurIously on the valuable deeds and
documents contained therein.
PRESERVING EGGs.-A French phar-
mscist offers the following discovery
for preserving eggs; namely, TO use a
solution OF silicate of soda. which, be-
log OF a very glutinous or adhesive
character, is kept in liquid state by
adding = little tepid wafer. Simply
dip the fresh eggs in this and then dry
them. When thoroughly dried and
completely covered with the silicate
solution, which any druggist can iurn-
ish, the eggs can then be put away,
and wilt keep, it 10 stated, for more
than q year without injury.

property. From Ifazatlan the party
will make its way eastward to the
Sierra Madre mountains, st the foot
of which is tue wonderful mine OF Ba-
topilas. Up to 1920 the Marquis OF
Bustamente-a name that has probably
been considered as fabulous as that OF
the explorer CULVER, or the Yeracious
chronicler Eli Perkins, owned and
worked the Batopilas mines, and when
the lucky old man was gathered to his
fathers, he had extracted therefrom not
less than $50, 600, 900. One day the
King of Spair heard Of him and his
mine, ana straightway ordered 1t TO be
escheated to the State, but the crafty
Bustamente reckoned that part was
better than the whole, and loaded up
q ship with Q million dollars worth Of
silver bars, which be ssiled with TO the
palace door and obtained reversal OF
the orders IN council. In 1861 the
well-known firm Of Wells, Fargo u
Co., obtained possession OF the BHsta-
mente property, and have since owned
and worked 1t. The yield has been
not near 90 large, but 1t has been
steady. A great tunnel WAS projected,
and has been pushed nearly = half mile
into the mountain, crossing eighteen
veins, out of one Of which g, 800, 900
were taken In six months time. But
Wells, Fargo & Co. have grown old,
and, counting their wealth by the tens
of millions as they do have agreed
finally on price at which they will sell
their famous mines to Gov. Shepherd
and his associates, and hence the de-
parture chronicled above.

Mr.. J. J WALKER returaed FIJI

excellent condri, n, corn and cotton
dong well. They hsYe been blessed

fresh, while in Gillespie, the adjoining
county, the rains have been very light
and corn and cotton are suffering very
much from drought and the farmers
are much discouraged. The grain crop
has been harvested and the yield was
very poor, from eight to twelve bush
els per acre. Should the rain we are
