Reason Among the Masses.

At public meeting Of the cit zeus
oil Burnet county at Russell Gabriel
school house, on Saturday, June 81,
1t was agreed TO hold & mass meeting,
TO give an expression of the views OF
the people on the financial issues now
pending before the Legislature. The
netting was organized by electing F.
l.. Bannausky chairman and Norton
Moses secretary. The chairman ex-
planned the object of the meeting in a
few appropriate remarks, when, on mo-
ton, a committee of five was appoint
ed TO draft resolutions. The chairman
appointed on said committee Messrs.
G. G. Stuart, Norton Moses, ]. c. New
ton, Thomas a. Roach and J. D. Nor
ris, who reported the following resolu-
tions, which, after discussion, were
unanimously adopted, to-Yit
ResOlced, That We heartily endorse
our GofeTnor in his. views, as
expressed in his veto message,
and condemn the y extravagant
appropriation of oDe-fouIth of the gen
ersl revenue for schools,
/. Because We believe the present
financial condition Of the state will
not justify it.
Q. We believe tie present free school
system an injury, rather than benefit,
TO the educational interest Of the State.
3. We believe large appropriation
now for free schools will create def
cheney to be provided for by the Seven
teenth Legislature, which we condemn
as anti-DemocratIc and will in the end
bankrupt the State If adhered to.
4. We believe it will create neces-
sIty for an additional tax sn the people
which they are not able to bear, and
with the present biighted crop prospect
throughout the State, believe they Will
not submit to. " "a -.
Res0lDed, That we recommend our
Legislature not to appropriate more than
one-sixteenth of the general revenue
for free schools at this time.
ResOtced, That we recommend the sale
Of the school lands and thus create g
fund for free schools, the intereit of
which will educate every child in Tex
as from six to eighteen years old, ten
months every year, and have enough
left over to provide for the increase in
the scholastic population. Then we can
have a system of free schools
worthy OF Texas and Texans
without taxing the people for
it. We believe the minimum
price for these lands should be twenty
five cents per acre, as many sections
here will not sell for more, and not
that unless they can be sold as whole.
Allow every man to buy all he wants,
at least GAO acres. Let the maximum
price be all 1t will bring, whether it
be one, two or five dollars an acre.
ResOlOed, That copy of these reso-
lutions be furnished the Burnet Bulle-
tin. the STATESMAN and the Examiner
and Patron for publication, and we rec
ommend that the people everywhere ex-
press their views at once on these sub
Jects.

The Sultan's Gift 10 Grant.


Two Arabian Horses of the purest Blood
and best Form.
In March last, when Gen. Grant, in
the course of his cruise in the Vandalia,
came to Constantinople, his first visit
was paid to the sultan. Immediately
after this interview his Majesty charged
Munir Boy, the master of ceremonies.
to present the general with an Arab
horse from the imperial stables. Ac-
cordingly a number were led out, and
one chosen and set aside for him, but
owing to some misunderstanding the
gift horse was not sent and the Van
dalia sailed without him. Recently the
question having been revived, the
steed i'll question was hunted up among
the $40 horses which compose the impe-
rial stud. lie was found, and, accom-
panied by q second horse, also for Gen.
Grant, transferred to the care of the
American Legation. Arrangements
have been made TO send them in the
Norman Monarch, a steamer of 1000
tons capacity, which will probably sail
direct to New Haven. They are to be
housed OH deck, provided with canvas
belts to swing in rough weather, and
treated like cabin passengers. So it is
to be reasonably hoped that the end of
their thirty days passage will find them
both sound in wind and limb. One is
a dappled gray of fair size, and having
all the traits characteristic of the Ara
bian blood-small, well set, restless
ears, wide pink nostrils, and large, soft
eyes, waving name, and long tail reach
ing almost TO the ground, and a skin of
such dellcacy that the stroke of a lady's
whip is sufficient to draw blood. The
other stallion has all these points. lie
is n glossy black, with a white star on
his forehead and white feet. When the
long forelock falls over his forehead the
large, black eyes have all the expression
OF q Bedonin woman's. Their gait is
perfect, be it either the rapid walk, the
long, swinging trot, or the t~ireless
stretching gallop, while n rein of one
thread of silk is enough to guide their
delicate mouth. Let one of these Arabs,
IN the mad rush of a charge or a flight,
lose his rider, and that instant the doc
lie steed will stop as though turned into
stone. These two horses are of the IA
nous Saktan race, the purest Arabian
blood, only found in and neal Bagdad.
The dappled gray is appropriately
named Dieytan (the Panther), and the
