tire sheep, an ofiioious fellow named
Tomas Bustamente, whose oounto-
nance seemed 10 indicate that no had
some honesty, acting as our agent IN
the transaction. A part OF tins sheep
Tomas cooked for our breakfast
the priest again sending US large
pitcher of coffee.
II was nearly nine o'clock before
everything was in readiness for our
departure. Although we were anx
ious TO SEQ the governorand learn the
worst, il may be imagined that our
anticipations were not OF pleasant
nature. Had we been prisoners II
the hands Of any other people under
the sun, our feelings would have been
far different; but we were now in the
power of men who possessed all the
vices of savage life without one OF
the virtues that civilization teaches
We felt that though our lives had
been spared the previous day, it
was but a reprieve, that we were still
in tho hands of semi-civilized enomy
cruel, relentless, and treachorous-
who looked upon us as heretics and
the common enemies Of their religion
and race; and We had fearful reason
to believe that the appearance OF Ar
migo would be the signal for our i'm
mendiate execution. Surely the
emotions of TINT hour, when the fu-
ture was looming up so close and dark
upon us, are not to be appreciated
by the reader

stamp into total oblivion twill not be
amiss to look back upon itslong term
of useful service 10 the people Of this
country. 1t WIS created by an act
OF March 3. 1851. Previous {, that
the domestic rate was five cents.
The three cent rate was only for dis
tances under 1900 miles and over
that It was six cents. In 1868 Con
gress wiped ont the distance clause
and gave the three cent rate for ali

county, the seat of the wire fence
troubles, takes a hopeful view Of tho
trouble. He says: The wire cutters
are still at work, but that is only the
making of our country; it keeps the
capitalists from taking our country.
They don't want to give thepoor any
chance here; they want to fence
around n man and then make him
take his stock out of their pastures,

No account of San Marcos or Hays
county can DO perfect which omits
the fine poem of Mollie %. Moore,
which we republish in the another
place. We have several times copied
it before, but our supply of copies
was as often exhausted. The author
how Mrs. Davis-is perhaps tho
most spirited and original of Texas
poets AS is indicated in tho poem,
she spent her childhood in this place,
residing ON the banks Of the river just
opposite the stately hill, nova part
of tho Wood Cook property, and
near the fairy isle" described in the
poem. Any one familiar with the
scenery would ut once recognize it III
her description.
There arc two references near the
opening of the poem which would
not be understood abroad, first as to
the "Raco-paths" These constitute
one of the most singular features o
our mountain scenery. Almost every
woodland elevation throughout that
region is oncircled considerable dis
TANGO below it's apex by one OF these
race tracks. They bear d striking
resemblance to those made by art,
and some of them are quite rs smooth
and beautiful. The track around the
hill referred to in the poem is the
most beautiful we have seen. 1t Is
fully q mile in length and per
feet in all respects. Inside, the hill
crowned with cedars and other trees
rises n good deal higher, and com

OF the statement that San Anto
Mo lawyer has given the opinion that
the State can be made to pay for the
fences cut by fence-cutters, the Gle
burno Chronicle remarks:
1t is only when the immensely rich
or the great corporations happen to
receive little injury that demand is
made for special State aid, Humid
reds of farmers have been having
their fences broke through for years
and years, but nobody has ever heard
that the State would pay for it before.
Then horse stealing is lawle3sness
that the State has failed to suppress.
Sometimes tho widow or the poor
tenant loses tho last hoase he has to
make and gather his crop with. Does
any ono hear of the State coming in
to pay the damage' Not much. The
land syndicate will not fare better.
