Christmas Day, 1864, was the Con-
federate Christmas par excellence.
Outside supplies of all kinds had dlsaP-
pearei, and whatever comforts were
provided were of home manufacture.
The Confederate dollar was worth just
two cents in gold, and -four was worth
$500 barrel; sugar was $50 pound;
salt, 81; butter, $40; and beef $50 and
$40 a pound. Wood sold at $500
cord and coal was not to be had, save
in few of the cities, owing to the
scarcity of transportation. The day
was Sunday, which, in itself, would
have tempered the usual merrlment'
At country residence below Kich
mond, and not far from the lines OF the
contending armies, party OF seven
ladies and gentlemen all in the strict
est Southern sense of the term-were
assembled at dinner. The mansion bad
been proyerbial tor its hospitality be-
fore the war; now the welcome was as
cordial as ever, but the board was spread
in accordance AT the head OF the table
was placed large ham, worth $500;
at the foot was the last turkey the farm
could boast, worth SITS. The vegeta-
bles consisted of cabbage, potatoes and
hominy, worth, at reasonable calcnla-
ton, 800 Cornbread was served,
-four having been unknownin this house
for mouths, The meal of which 1t was
made was worth $50 bushel and the
salt that seasoned it 81 pound. Des
sert, there was zone, but in lis place
the hostess provided course OF black
molasses, worth S60a gallon. The same
kind lady, as a rare treat for her guests,
brought out, with glow "f pride,
steaming urn ofreal tea-not sasSatras-
worth 500 pound, at the same time
warning the company that they must
expect but one cup apiece, as this was
the last of her store. Alter this was
'coiiee" made from sweet potatoes cut
into little bits, toasted brown and ground

Christmas IN the lest year of the war.
From this superb repast the scale de
scended to army rations-a bit OF salt
pork, cornbread and sweet potato coffee
without sugar The company consist
ed of three ladies and four gentlemen.
The ladies toilets the writer cannot
venture to describe, but they were
largely made up OF "home made artl'
cles in the fashion prevailing at the
commencement of the war. The tresses
of one were fastened with confederate
hairpins, made of long black thorns,
with the heads tipped with sealing wax,
and the dress was of simple home spun.

style was in the ascendency,

othercountries, there was produced
a sensual,
GROTESQUE AND DECEASED
form of this styie, indicating great
skill, ingenuity and intricacy in the
detail of its parts, but nevertheless
condemned because of its lavish
extravaganza of purposeless and os-
tentatious display, guided by the
vicious instincts of the period,
rather than by the pureness of Gre
clan art. BY these standards, it is
well to learn what Is true and pure
in architecture, and to judge of the
merits of those designs and their
authors, now competing for the
building of the Capitol for the
state of Texas. That this,
as well as the standards placed
upon the qualification of plans
and construction is not too
highly drawn, will be fully borne
out by our greatest modern as well
as early masters in the art, and by
those who are the severest, yet most
capable judges, and critical writer's.

On Wednesday night about $3.50 O'clock
the training stables of Col. Il. X. Hawk
ins, at the Rebel Stud Farm, fourteen
miles south of Austin, were burned to
the ground, resulting in the loss of sew
eral fine race saddles, brides and other
paraphernalia pertaining to such estab-
lishments. The fire originated evidently
from spark from cigarette
in the loft where the rid
riders slept, and the flames spread so rap
idly that it was with difficulty that the
lads escaped-not being able to save even
their clothes. After all the race horses had
been hurried out of their boxes, it was dis
covered that the flames had so surrounded
old Rebel that it was deemed utterly i'm
possible to rescue him, but the
spectacle of the intelligent old
veteran turf king, piteOusly neigh
ing for help, overcome little Tommy
Hawkins, who, seizing blanket, dashed
recklessly into the burning stable, and
throwing the blanket over old Rebels
head, led him quickly out of danger.
Tommy is only fourteen years old, but
this brave act, so coolly calculated, actu-
ated by sympathetic but brave heart, is
one which many an old fireman might be
proud of. This misfortune has seriously
interfered with the training of the Rebel
team, of which we had hoped so much in
the coming racing campaign, but Col.
Hawkins will probably ship his horses at
once to Baltimore and complete his train
ng. The sympathies and good will of
Texans attend him.

CAsTRovILLE. March G, 1881.
Editor STATESMAN:

Our little company, fully uniformed and
well prepared for a western frontier in
spectioD, rolled out at a speed of four to
four and half miles per hour, hoping to
strike our first real camping ground in or
beyond Black Creek, distance of twelve
miles from Castroyille. The creek was
reached q little too early for dinner, and
we drove on a distance of about four
miles. where we found good grass, water
and plenty of wood. Black Creek
in size is about as large as Onion
and winds through a beautiful
country. The valley is one that supports
good settlement, above and below the
able to see. The valley has large fields
in high state ofcultivatiOn settled by Ger
mans from the general appearance of the
stock, fencing ana cultivation. This is
the more strongly marked from the fact
that industry and thrift always goes
hand in hand" The country around and
about Castroville is very productive, and
will hold prominent place in agricul-
ture in the near future.
Our way is marked by many hills and
valleys just at the season of change, be-
tween the sterner winds of winter and
pleasant Zephyrs that fan into life so
much beauty to the man of music
and flowers. The mantle OF spring is
casting itself over the fair and almost
boundless forest that stretches away
to the south and west. There are
many fragrant flowers that seem
to blush unseen, save by the weary trav-
eler that by chance has wandered far out
from~fhe busy haunts of civilized life.
Our camp was reached after. nightfall.
The bank of the Hondo was selected,
the stream crossed and our weary loco
motive power were made happy by what
we had In store for them. The HOndo, a
distance of twenty miles from Castro
vile, passes through a good stock coun-
try, and the valley Is rich, and if cultiva-
ted, surely would yield rich reward for
the necessary labor bestowed. The rails
ing of stock seems the chief occupation of
the settlers, and they seem perfectly
content to live in the most humble man
ner. The distance from the Hondo to the
Frio is about twenty miles. A greater
portion OF the way.the road winds over
sandy, and comparatively poor coun-
try, sparsely timbered, and occasionally
q rocky ridge, covered with thin chan
arral, breaks the monotony of the way.
But we must not forget that more
beautiful and rich cOuntrylies beyond the
Rio Frio-a stream noted for wiIdness of
scenery, depth of soil, height of banks,
and GOODNESS of waters, as the name indi-
Gates. But enough till we have a more
interesting country 10 describe. DELTA.
P. S.-We have recovered part of our
goods from the robbers.
