look down, he saw six great serpents'
heads, with lustrous eyes and darting

serpents quardrupled in size, showing
plainly enough that they were re-
viving. "Come here, Tom," shouted

threw the snake into the box, which
was quickly closed. Lyness then

LETTER FROM BLANCO.
CYPRESS MILLS, Dec 26.

CYPRESS MILLS, Dec &c.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
There is considerable activity Just
now, here, as well as elsewhere in the
state, in the stock and land business.
Lands have doubled in value in the
last two years, consequent upon the
increase IN the price OF cattle, and there
is little disposition to sell either.
understand Mr.. AlonZo Robinson,
of Austin, has purchased the old
BOuldin ranch near here, on the Per-
dinales, and will stock it with
cattle or sheep. Lonny has
many friends in this sec
ton, who wish him success in every
undertaking.
Mr.. John Neff, of Austin, has pur-
chased about $50 head of cattle and is
still buying, with the intention of
establishing a ranch on the Perdi-
males.
Mr.. Chas. L. Russell, ex-sheriff of
Blanco county, has sold his stock to
Ben johnson and his ranch to FitZ
Fuchs. Mr.. Russell intends to re-
move, | believe, to New Mexico.
Capt. Wash Hammett has taken his
stock to Mason county for better
winter quarters. He has not decided
whether he will stay there permanent
ly. His toll road will be presided
over by James Townsend, and
travellers must beware how they
swear at its roughness, for Jim" will
whoop 'em up.
Messrs. Schriner and Lytte and Mr..
John Blocker have buyers engaged in
contracting for the spring drive. They
agree to pay spring prices" The i'm
preston is that yearlings will bring
SIP, perhaps more, but certainly not
less.
Some time since, in a letter to the
STATESMAN, gave the meaning of
Pedernales as bee Rock" upon what
considered good authority. A neigh
Dor, MIR. QuinOnes, tells me "Peder-
males, are the spear heads used by In
dians before the United States fur
nished them with repeating
breech-loaders, and that the riv-
er was thus named because
quantities of these spear heads were
found on its banks by its Spanish dis
coverers. Anyhow, the fact remains
that the rocks are used by the bees as
depoSiting places for honey.

Under our system there is no means
of changing the executive. Under the
English system the controllers of that
government go out or come in by the
votes of the people, and that change
may be made at least once a year.
Now, if / were in your place l would
distinguish my administration and
create an era in the politics of this
country by putting some leading Dem
ocrat in my cabinet instead of a lead
ing idiot.
Advice is very common, and you
have lots of it. Wisdom is very rare,
and have none of it, so what l have
to say l leave to that kindly consider
alton that you have always extended
to my suggestions.
Sincerely yours. S. W. DORSEY.
1t is evident from these letters that
Dorsey saw his hope of control gone.
1t had slipped into the hands of Blaine,

tool by which the fortunes of the willy
gentleman were to be enlarged at the
expense of the people of this country.

Banished From Her Homo.

A Beaufort, North Carolina, dis
patch says: This morning a large
schooner appeared off the bar. A boat
was lowered from her and rowed
to Morehead City, where there landed
from 1t a woman, two children and
three men. They took the cars at
Goldsboro. A profuse display of gold
aroused local curiosity. The woman,
who is fine looking and naughty in her
bearing, appeared to be about thirty
five years of age. She is a resident of
st. Michael's Island, one of the Azores,
and was accused of having poisoned
her husband. She was tried and
condemned to death, but this SEN
tence was afterward commuted
to perpetual Punishment and sep
aration from their children. She pos
sessed vast estates, which, through an
agent, she converted into money, and
securing the cooperation of the cap
tain and crew of a whaler which had
made a harbor at the island, she OBJ
tained her children, bribing the taller
and two guards, whom she was obliged
to bring with her, as their lives would
have been forfeited by her escape.
She was secreted on board the vessel
and brought here without mishap.
The captain was non-communicative,
but the mate said he had received
$500 for his share. She stated here
that she intended to go to Boston.

FayOritism in the Army.
Washington Special ]


Ben Butterworth is just now in bad
odor with the aides-de-camp of the big
generals. These favorites of fortune
and the ladies have been having the
easiest, LATEST kind of time for
and double pay. They have basked
in the smiles OF the bellies OF society,
and drank the champagne Of the swell
nabobs, utterly forgetful and negli-
gent of their brother officers who
were fighting Indians on the plains,
enduring untold hardships on the
frontier, and waiting the better
part of their lives in mill
tary posts, deprived of the charms
and pleasures of civilization and So
ciety. Ben Butterworth is the man
on the appropriations committee who
set his face against favoritism in the
army, and who secured that provision
in the present army appropriation bill
which will, if adopted, deprive those
comfortably situated aides-de-camp of
very large part of the extra cash
with which they have been so COM
fortably supplied. The extra pay
which these aides-de-camp get
amounts to a good many thou
sands of dollars annually. For
instance, in little investiga-
ton had before the military
committee of the house not very long
ago, it appeared that two captains who
ranked as colonels on the staff of Gen.
Sherman had received in twelve years
$24, 600 each more than they would
have received if they had remained
with their regiments and put in their
time fighting Indians or superintend-
ing government works on rivers and
harbors. To get an idea of this aide
de-camp business it is only necessary
to state that Gen. Sherman has five
aides-de-camp. While serving as staff
officers they rank as colonies. Their
ineal rank is as follows: Two of them
are lieutenant colonels. They get
about $1,000 additional as staff officers.
One is a major. He gets $1,000 addi-
tional. Two are captains, and
they get $500 more than they
would if they were with their
regiments. Gen. Sheridan has three
aides-de-camp, and while on staff duty
they rank as lieutenrnt colonel. Their
lineal rank is that of captain. The
places they enjoy give them about
$500 each more than their regular
pay. Major generals are allowed three
aides-de-camp, and brigadier generals
two. These aides, of course, enjoy
increased radk and correspondingly
increased pay. Butterworth's provi-
sion in the army appropriation bill
declares that officers when on staff
duty shall receive only S45 per month
extra and lops off one from
each of the major and briga-
dier generals. 1t also provides
that aides shall not enjoy their easy
places more than three years, and at
the end of that time they must go
back to work and give their less for
tunate brother officers a chance to
come to the rear and lead the german
at the capital.
Gen. Sheridan's brother has been on
his staff for many years. Howard has
taken care of his son, Anger of his
son-in-law, Crook of his nephew, Pope
of his nephew, Schofield of his nephew,
Wilcox of his son-in fact, all of them,
except Hancock, have put relations in
these desirable places.
