Attorney ID. III. Hewlett, of this city. II
reflects the sentiments of the people
everywhere in the state:
GAS to the university question, | hear
but little outside OF the newspapers. So
far as am concerned, for selfinterest, l
would vote, of course, for Waco, but di-
yesting myself of everything like per-
sonal interest, / would vote for Austin as
a location for the university. State pride
tells me Austin is the place. To locate
the university Zone of the most important
state buildings) away from the capital,
only adds argument in favor of dividing
the state, TO which am opposed. Austin
was once three days travel from here,
now it is only serea hours. 1t is ac-
cessible to all points by way of railroads,
and / could not afford to help destroy
Austin's prospects to build up other peo-
pie. 1t seems to me that persons desiring
to live in view of state buildings should
have them settled at Austin McLennan
county seems very much like my old home
to me, but for the interest and benefit of
the most people, 1 shall east my vote for
Austin. Your friend,

of the proceedings at the recent
meeting of the Southeastern railway
company, in London Shows that a
gallery seven feet in diameter has
already been driven from the shaft
near Abbotts Cliff for half mile
towards France, and an agreement
has been made to push forward 4
similar Roadway under the sea for q
mile on each side of the channel. AT
the present rate of progress this will
probably be done within the next
six months, and then it is expected
that the further nine miles on each
side will be undertaken at once
All the conditions seem favorable to
the project. The soil is found to be
exactly similar at both ends. 1t is,
as was expected, gray chalk, imper-
vious TO water, and there is every
reason to anticipate that it will be
found to stretch in an unbroken

Especial Correspondence of the STATESMAN
With the heated season comes to this
sequestered spot the worn-out denizen
of the cities in search of rest and cool
breezes and, perchance, of fish and game.
And not alone from the city do they
come. We have had upon the river OF
late parties from Walnut and Onion
creeks, the Colorado valley, and picnic
ing party from Byrdtown, in Burnet
county. This latter was jolly crowd,
and made the rugged rocks resound with
echoes of their shouts and laughter.
West Cave was the scene Ofgreat hilarity
until late hour of night. The next
morning after their arrival / noticed by
the roadside a bottle labeled ''Tolu.''
Whether this had any connection with
the jollity of some of the crowd, / will
not pretend to say.
Those who come in search of game or
fish will be sadly disappointed. Birds
are not more plentiful than in the vicini-
ty of Austin, and it is next 10 impossible
to catch fish in the river, though some
nice strings have been taken from the
creek tributary thereto. But it is splen-
did place to rest-ifyou do not climb over
the rocks all day-and the nights are cool
and sleep-compelllng. '.'--
A gentleman by the name of Maxey,
living on the river above here. is said to
have been found in the woods, lately, a
raving maniac, by friends who were in
search of him. They had some difficulty
in securing him. ..l tA.gI

A Matter of D,fSerenoe.

| Some days ago little negro girl, about
10 years old, with clothes dirty and all tat
tered and torn, applied to a well-known
and kind-hearted family for employment.
She said her parents were dead, and that
| an aunt with whom she had been living
had treated herbadly, and she had been
compelled to leave. She told Diteous
tale, and said she desired to find a home
where she could work and learn to be a
good cook. Her tales were told with such
candor and apparent truthfulness that the
kind-hearted lady of the house
and her generous husband had their sym
pathies excited, and they concluded to
give the little waif trial. Decent and
cleanly wearing apparel was given her,
and her duties being pointed out she set TO
work with will, and has proved a most
dIligent and careful servant and a great
help about the house. Indeed, the gen.
tleman and family are well pleased with
her, and she is perfectly satisfied. The
other evening, as the gentleman drove up
to the door Of his residence, he
observed an old negro man standing near
the fence calling the little girl. When
asked what he wanted he said he was the
guardian of the little girl and wanted her.
1t Is said he spoke as if he had the au
thority of the autocrat of all the Russias.
and beamed down upon the gentleman
with refreshing GOODNESS that was de-
cldedly pleasant this hot weather. The
gentleman doubted his authority over the
little girl, and as she begged most
piteouslyS for him not to give her
up he refused to do so, and ordered the
high and mighty colored autocrat to
leave. He did so, and on the next day
two negro women put in an appearance
and demanded the girl. She earnestly
pleaded not to be turned over to them.

Mr.. 5. A. Brown, living about five
miles below town, on Burditt's prairie'
brought to town yesterday a chicken hay-
ing three legs 1t was about seven weeks
old, of good size and in perfect health.
The extra leg prOtrnded from the left
side of the body, just back of its proper
leg, but had been injured when the
chicken was quite young, and was much
shorter than the others and considerably
deformed. Mr.. Brown informed the re-
porter that when the chicken was first
Matched out all three of the legs were
perfect and all were industriously used
in walking and running about the yard.
When six weeks old, the chick not being
able to watch over nd,'carefully guard the
extra leg, got it accidentally caught in a
coop slat which held it fast all night
and caused serious and permanent injury
to the leg. Mr.. Brown has another chick
Matched out at the same time by
the same staid and motherly old hen that
has eleven perfectly formed toes on one
of its feet. If that old hen will go to work
now and lay an egg bearing an inscrip-
ton prophesying the destruction of the
world before. September 9Th, emitting,

There is general and univer-
sal indignation here, but espe-
cially among the Democrats, at the
action of the governor in declining
to cooperate with other governors
in the matter OF thanksgiving over
the presidents recovery. His best
friends say they will allow the sold
alcalde" Il great many privileges
but he has overstepped the limits
of common decency this time, and
leyeled gratuitous insult at the
Christian and patriotic sentiment OF
the state which is full as ardent
among Democrats as Republicans
His excuse is regarded as SC
transparently tiimsy that no one
can be found to excuse him. There
is talk of getting the mayors of the
several cities to designate the same
day selected by the governors, and
making it the biggest day of formal
rejoicing ever known here.
