Oscer Wilde.

Yesterday Mr.. Oscar Wilde drove about the
city and suburbs to inspect their art beauties
He was especially pleased with the ST. Jose
mission, its very fine door and window which
he considered excelled anything OF the kind In
America, and he was charmed with the tout en-
semble of the whole scene. He met Mr..
Grenet, our young painter, VINO was mere
sketching. and he spoke in very compliment
tary terms of his genius and knowledge OF that
art to which he is so devoted. The Alamo in
terested Mr.. Wilde very much, but he thought
it is monstrous that such a noble and historic
building should be used as it now is.
Mr.. Wilde expressed himself we'll satisfied
with the excellence and accuracy of the LIGHT
report of his lecture on decorative Art,
which he described as the best published
south of Boston, and presented our local with
his portrait, autographed as follows, IN
recognition of his friendship: III. Ryder
Taylor, from his friend Oscar Wilde, San An
ohio, Iune 49," He also expressed very
strong opinion of the unprincipled conduct OF
the Times, in maliciously attrlbuting to him
words that he had not spoken nor even con-
ceived, but he was not surprised at this when
he found the same paper wilfully making
misrepresentation by saying that Mr.Ryder-T ay-
lor walked without invitation) with him to the
hotel whereas both persons, by pre-arrange-
ment drove to the Menger Hotel, accompanied
by Mr.. J. S. Vale, his manager.
Mr.. Wilde was very grateful for the kind
ness and courtesy he has received in our city,
and looks to its intelligence to bear in mind
the lesson he has taught and as far as practi-
cal act upon them.
According to his plan, Mr.. Wilde left last
night by the 6:3o p. m. train for Houston,
where he lectures tonight, thence he goes to
New Orleans, San Francisco and Japan. He
gives return lectures in both the last two
named places, lectures and studies art in Japan
and from that place he returns to England.

Which CITY Has the Best Favements?
From the Illinois Stats Zeitung

| From the Illinois Stats Zeitung
To which interrogatory the Vienna Gazette
replies as follows: A much travelled person
would say Venice, for there the accommoda-
tons for riding and driving are the most de-
lightful, ana one hears the least of the
heavy rolling and rafting of wheels on the
streets. But aside from Venice it is great
problem tor most cities to solve the question
of street improvements. On both sides OF the
Atlantic all kinds have been tried, from the
plain or common stone pavement, square
block, grant asphalt, macadam, wood and
even iron. New York has iron in many
streets but also asphalt; Chicago has wood,
asphalt and macadam. Now which of these
materials have been preferred by European
cities. OF Vienna nothing can be said, for
that city cannot be considered progressive in
the way OF street paving. Berlin has chosen
asphalt, and has marked decided progress
from her old rugged, jolting cobble-stone
work.
Paris, commonly considered as the city of
Macadam, can show up more varieties than
any other city. 1t was not considered we'll to
lay macadam for long continuous distances,
hence on the great Doulevards macadam
changes to paving of some sort alternately
every nunuIcu IcCt, dHu klCal SuOuuihS VI
noise was the result.
At many points, as in the Latin quarter,
trials have been made with lakewood block
paving, but has not found general favor with
the Parisians, the narrow streets of Paris show
many defective and deficient stone pavings on
which wagon and omnibus horses break down
and it is known fact that in no other city
there are as many break downs of working
animals than in Paris. The most miserable
pavings are to be found in Brussels, and the
only exception there is to the general rule are
the asphalt covered grand bouevards.
OF all European cities those of Italy can be
envied, for few of them kcow of the small
cobble-stone paving, but have asphalt and
broad tagged sidewalks throughout the whole
extension Of streets. Rome has had an infe-
rior paving in but few places, while Milan
possesses the finest pavings to be found either
in Italy or Europe; in the center wood paw
ing for heavy horses and upon both sides
asphalt, upon which vehicles roll as easy as
upon a tramway. Most large cities have
chosen asphalt, but few only macadam, and
| they all seem to like the former.

Austin's Budget.

AUSTIN. June 22, 1882.
To the Editor of THE EVENING LIGHT:
A petition to induce Judge A. H. Terrell to
allow his name to be used in the next cam
paign for state senator in this district, has been
circulated in this city for more than week,
and so far about thirty patriots have signed it.
1t is now in the hands of one of his particu-
lar admirers, who refused TO sign it, but prom
ised to carry it around-in his pocket. While
the petition is no doubt safe there, the names
of signers in pencil may have their names OBJ
liberated by the constant use OF the paper, and
when it is returned to the honorable gentle
man, it may be minus some of the original
,igners. The Judge is red hot and anxious to
run, but does not banker for any opposition,
he especially relies on his record in favor of d
good free school system! He has been inter-
viewed on prohibition, and while claiming that
he has been opposed to it all the time, he now
straddles the fence and says, that the time
has come when the question must be submit
led to the people. Next to the old alcalde
he is the biggest demagogue in the state. Heis
somewhat after the pattern OF Adjutant General
King, who while member of the legislature,
opposed frontier protection. but when offered
he position of adjutant general, accepted it
once and is now in favor Of protection.
Col. Russells case is being investigated by
the grand jury and some three or four indict-
nents have been found, among them one for
perjury and another for embezzling over
$50 In the first case the bond was fixed
by Hon. E. B. Turner at $1,000, and in the
latter at 5 5000.
Of course these crimes, as charged, do not
amount to anything an oversight on the
part of his deputies, one OF whom has skipped
the country, nor can the Judge be blamed for
fixing such outrageous high bonds. His well
known sympathy for criminals as evinced in
the case of the mail robber at Laredo, and his
tender heartedeness in behalf of an outraged
people and the government, would not permit
i'm to ask for lower amount Of bond, as it
might be said by Russel's friends that he was
too indulgent.
The weather is splendid, corn is made and
cotton doing well. Farmers are therefore
ubilant.
Our city is growing rapidly, large number
of private residences and stores are in course
of construction, as we'll as public buildings.
An indictment was found this morning
against Franci B. Forster for embezzling over
$1,000 U. S. funds; bond fix ID at $1,000 by
Judge Turner-another of his sympathetic
acts. The indictment mill promises to turn
out large crop this season. AUSTIN.
