The Perryvills sun of the 9th inst. con.
tains an account Of a man who stole tw
horses from a farmer living near Jacks
son, week before last. The storyiis that
the thief rode one horse OF bare back ed
and It's mate followed. He struck out
northwest and passed through Perry
county, making several very pnsuccessful I
attempts 20 cross over into Illinois. Fail
! ing TO .get acrSss, he took up the river
bank, and tried 10 sell the stolen horses
A party of Cape Girardeau county men
got en- his trail, Followed him, overlook
him near Ste. GsnevieVe and recovered
the horses. On their return the party
were interviewed BY several Perry coun-
ty people, TO whom they told conflicting
stories. One ststsme u [ was that the chief
seeing that that he could not make his
escape, jumped from the horse inte the
river aud drowned; smother that the
thief fell frem his horse and breks his
nssk; and still ansthsr that the chief
made his escape. II is turmised that

AN ENTERTAINING CHAPTER
On " Enterprise and Lberality"-Step by
Step Dallas Advances as n City,


Every one has his particular habit" is a
Latin proyerb as old perhaps, as the ZAP.
plan way" or the first walls of Rome,
erected by Romulus. To the keen observer
it is apparent that Mr.. |. Reinhardt, the
popular clother at No. 70i Elm street, has
a habit of enterprise and habit of liberal
ity neither of which are equaled by any
other merchant In his line of business in
Dallas. This is only his second season in
this city, but he is an adept as dealer in
gents clothing and furnishing goods gcner-
ally, and the consequence is that he is now
at the head of the business in Dallas-in
north Texas, indeed Well, it is but rea.
sonable that this should be so, for nothing
goes by chance or haphazard in this we'll
regulated world of ours. The whole secret
OF the matter is that Mr.. Reinhardt
understands his business. He knows
| what to buy and where to buy, he is pro-
gressive and enterprising and keeps abreast
of the times keenly far-seeing, he studies
the necessities and demands of his trade
and Keeps these wants, supplied at moder-
ate prices, contenting himself with living
profit on his goods, and this is the whole
| secret of Mr. Rcinhardt's success in Dallas,
and 1t is thus this long-felt want has been
supplied.
Mr.. Reinhardt has Justly won for himself
the eminent position in mercantile circles
| that he occupies, and the confidence and
good graces he enjoys at the hands of an
Intelligent and Justly discriminating pub
| lie, are but an additional evidence of his
aeal and devotion, and the urbanity, atten.
ton and true politeness with which he
treats his customers. His force of polite
and competent statesmen are but patterning
after the head of this popular house.

Oscar Wilde is reported to have found Wash
ngton lacking in design. He was mistaken.
No city has more decidedly ground plan Rec
tiiinear streets, Crossing at right angles are
tolerated here only as basis for avenues which.
extending in magnificent distances and terni-
mating in imposing structures, or vanishing in
the soft horizon. give force and grandeur to
every view.
1t was certainly unkind to ignore the plan. the
only esthetic property, believe, that Washing
tor possesses which is not an imitation of the
antique. Of early English, or of renaissance
the conception was unique but it must be con-
fessed that there il falling off-a decline of
art Is it were. in the details. We have not vet
proved equal to the triangle; the apex is easily
managed, but that absurd space between it and
the body OF the fgure not deep enough for a
double TOw nor narrow enough Tor single one
Is quite beyond Us. As a consequence we see
squares of average or fine buildings dwindiing
down into 4 hudde of wooden shanties trieked
OF with a fringe Of grass.
1t has been proposed to abolish the triangle
but this Is evidently the suggestion of an es-
thete who has never discovered the ORIGINAL de-
sign AS the triangies are fundamental it were
better TO adopt the Paris treatment. Wherever
boulevard crosses street that city gives us a
model grass plat. with fountain tree or
statue. sUfilCes for the extremity The spaca
beyond Is occupied by public buildings. for
example. a magistrates office police station,
or is occupied by a store having double front
age: in any case, the design is effective. If each
state would purchase one of our triangIes and
erect thereon an appropriate editice. and embel-
Hsh the grounds. then when the Washington
monument Is completed Oscar Wide could come

The Sunset Route.

We leave New Orleans at noon, if We are
going to Texas by the Sunset route, and if
going through without stopping. ride steadily
westward the remainder of the day and all
night to reach Houston at seven or eight
O'Clock Of the following morning. There, if we
are going on at once, we make close connec-
tons, again push on all day long. and reach
San Antonio at night. I did not go through
thus directly, but mention the arrangement
of trains and the time required in order to con-
vey some impression of distances In that part Of
our country. 1 think, however. that no one
can have an adequate idea Of the vast extent
of the state Of Texas without travelling through
it. From New Orleans to Houston most of the
country is low and fiat. The water is nearly
everywhere brackish, and in every doOr-yard you
see huge cstern. or wooden vat or tank, above
ground, to receive the rain-water from the roof
of the house, for domestic use. Very often the
cistern is nearly as large as the house. The
cabins of the negroes in western Louisiana are
roomy and comfortable; they are mostly, in
deed, small framed houses, all of them having
outside chimneys, built of sticks and CLAY.
These are cheap, and. when well constructed
durable and safe. Much Of the land near the
coast is very fertile, and, when dry enough for
tillage, produces excellent crops of sugar-cane
and cotton. Where the land becomes higher the
live-Oak is abundant 1t is very handsome

and looking much like greatly magniied apple
