DESCRIPTIVE PAMPHLET.

The STATESMAN management has
concluded to issue at an early day
little book of from seyenty-6ve to
one hundred pages, descriptive of
Austin and vicinity. including proba-
bly, two or three of the towns in close
proximity to it. The purpose of this
publication is comprehensive. 1t will
be descriptive of Austin and Travis
county and the adjoining region, and,
as stated, of towns near the city.
Besides depicting the beauties of ma
ture so lavishly expended hree,
aside from giving a panoramic view
of our magnificent capital city,
it is proposed to present the reader,
pen pictures of some of the most
noted landscapes that abound about
us. The loveliness of the re-
gion about Austin is unsurpassed;
the Great Creator, while bestow-
ing upon other localities grand
er and nobler natural pictures, has no
where on His footstool laid out softer
and mellower and more entrancing
pictures than these which meet
the beholder at every point for
miles about Austin. Poets who
have dwelt on Italian scenes,
who have stood by the blue
waters of Como and Maggiore, beneath
the vaulted azure of italian skies;
and before the inspiring grandeur of
Alpine ranges, could feel no deeper
inspiration in the dream-land of poets
than upon Mount Bonnell, taking in
the green clad hills and valleys and the
distant prairies, beneath which, as
lovely as the Avon, winds the limpid
and sparkling tide of the Colorado.
The loveliness of these natural scenes
will be depicted in this little book, and
artists will be employed to give
shape to them on plates, from which
will be impressed on its pages the
representation of these scenes. Many
of the more noted natural views viii

represent the many handsome public
buildings and grounds about the cap
ital city. The great new capitol will
be thus represented. and the univer-
sity building, while the different asy-
lums and other public buildings will
all have leaves especially devoted to
them. To further give an insight
into business and private interests in
Austin there viii be pictures made
from admirably prepared plates of
business houses and private resi-
dences Presenting Austin in its
most attractive form. it win follow
that it must also be presented as a fit
locality for the homes of those who

desire to settle temporarily or perma-
nently at what is not only govern
mental and political and social hub,
but which must soon become one of
the very greatest educational centers
on the American continent. The
purity of our atmosphere and the
salubrity of our climate are por-
verbal, and it will be the purpose
in the pages of the little book to
show, from the most intelligent stand
points, that Austin is not surpassed as
health resort on the American con-
tinent. 1t will be shown that here on
the banks of the Colorado river is the
site for great manufacturing interests,
that here is the point for cotton and
wool and hides and the other staple
products of the state to be converted
into manufactured articles for the
use of man. To sum up the entire
work, it will be prepared for the pur-
pose of popularizing Austin and vi
cinity in the eyes of people who are
looking to Texas for settle
ment. The purpose is to
publish an edition of from twenty
five to fifty thousand copies of the
book, and it is expected before is
it is begun, to have subscription of
at least fifteen thousand. The busi-
ness interests of this section are ex-
pected to sustain the enterprise.

THE Tewksbury investigation con-
tinues to develop a chain of horrors
says an eastern exchange, startling
enough to make Puritan Massachu-
setts lift its hands in helpless and in
-dignant amazement. That such brutal
mismanagement could have existed
in any pnblic institution of this kind
in that enlightened commonwealth
seems past all human belief. The
stupidity of the managers, who Wis
iited the institution at stated inter
walls and dined luxuriously while the
panpers were starving, and failed to
detect the abuses, was simply phe-
nomenal. And yet there are similar
institutions in this and other states
whose public supervision is of the
same stupid order. The SUI
perintendent is kindly notified
when the visitation is to
take place and everything is put in
complete order for the expected
event. If persons whose duty it is to
supervise such institutions would
make unexpected visits occasionally
and use their eyes when making them
the chances for the long continued
existence of abuses like those revealed
at Tewksbnry would be materially
lessened.

THE Droyer's Journal of April 21st
says: Prices for cattle are just 81 per
100 pounds lower than one year ago.
This coupled with the fact that cur
rent receipts are heavier than at the
corresponding time last year, makes
not a very bright prospect for feeders
and dealers who have been calcula-
ting upon last years prices or better;
steers selling at $12.O0a13.OO per head
less than last year is something which
most people had not expected, and
something which few are prepared to
meet. In Ia great many cases now
coming to notice, the difference in
prices between now and one year ago
represents the amount per head which
people who have contracted cattle are
losing. 1t is said by some that the
present year is liable to prove most
disastrous one on cattle shippers, be-
cause the bulk of the cattle in the
country have been contracted and
very few if any contracts have been
made at prices below last years rates.

WHOINYENTED THE TELEPHONE?

Some of our citizens may remem-
Der lecture that was delivered in the
city hall in 1874 by DR.. G. P. Hachen-
berg on musical telegraphy. where
the telephone feature of the doctors
invention Of musical telegraphy was
fully portrayed. This lecture was de-
livered at the Crosby opera house in
Chicago, in 1869, at the Franklin
institute Philadelphia) in 1873
and in other places at different
times. In 1880 the Galveston
News, in an article. "Who In
vented the Telephone?" quotes from
the London Times of 1864 in regard
to Hachenberg's musical telegraphy
on the telephone basis. This idea
has been subsequently utilized by
Prof. Bell and some others which has
eliminated in the present telephone.
In correspondence between DR.. II.
and Prof. Bell, published in the
Church's Musical Visitor in 1882, the
former refers to his telephone
researches in the first years of devel-
oping his musical telegraphy, when
he found it not adequate for his pur-
pose, therefore he changed his basis
of operation entirely by constructing
the whole fabric of his invention on
dynamic electricity. After this
change was effected, it was submitted
in 1872 to the centennial commissi ion
and there received favorable action,
and would no doubt have been made
one of the features of the National
exposition had the doctors health not
demanded an immediate change of
climate, and he came to Texas. Re
Gently the doctor placed the data of
his claim before both Edison and Prof.
Bell, who were instruments of its
present development. Edison entered
into correspondence with the doctor
with apparent good will and friendly
feeling.

Letter from BlancO County.
CYPRESS MILLS. April "a,

CYPRESS MILLS, April "a.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
The silver lining to the cloud that
hOvered over our stockmen the past
winter was visible to all during the
past two weeks. 1t was the price
paid for yearlings, which, in this sec
tion, was $13, and many "short" year
lings put in-some of them eight or
nine months old. Stock of ali kinds
is improving very fast, as the range
contains many thousands less than a
few weeks ago. 1t is still rather cool
for sheep-shearing, but the absence of
rain enables the "shorn lamb" to
weather (no pun) it very well.
The dry weather. which the
shepherd considers a godsend, is
not so welcome to the farmer,
who has seen the threatening clouds
driven before northers twice within
as many weeks without parting with
the needed rain. Small grain, how
ever, is the only farm crop suffering.
The Germans Of this vicinity had
their usual spring picnic about week
ago. The grounds surrounding the
elegant residence being erected by
Mr.. Chas. Goeth was the spot selected,
and no better one could have been
found. The dinner was excellent, the
music artistic, the dancing graceful
and the beer = well, there was none
left when the well-pleased picnicers
started home.
The writer enjoyed the hospitality
of Mr.. John Blocker's camp last week,
and had the pleasure of witnessing the
fine handling of the lariat by those
artistic ropers, Mr. Blocker and Ben
johnson, both Travis county produc-
tiOns. 1t would be hard to find the
equal Of these anywhere in Texas.
Mr. John II. Robinson, of Austin,
has been-visiting his sons, who are
among the largest ranchmen of this
section. In addition to this they are
very hospitable and attentive to visit
orS and strangers. Their property is
well-deserved.
Fishing parties are now the order
of the day, and all seem to be success
full in the sport. A young Austinite
a few days since caught the largest
trout and killed the largest wild cat
he had ever seen, ending with a fall
from bareback horse which put him
amongthe hurt for several days, all
these exploits being the work of
four days.
The peach crop is an entire failure
in these mountains, but deWberries
and mustang grapes promise plenti-
fui yield. Nearly everybody here
makes mustang wine, if possible.
The work OF the legislature, es-
pecially that part relating to the uni
versity, the school lands and the pen
itentiary lease, is generally approved
here.
Though this is considered stock
country, it contributes something to
the export crop of the south. The

SAM RANDALL, it appears to us, is
going to be the cause of trouble in
Democratic ranks. Democracy is
pledged to stariff for revenue only :
and if Mr.. Randall does not heartily
subscribe to this doctrine he ought to
expect nothing from the party. In
spite of this he proposes to push him
self for all there is in him for one of
the most exalted positions in the gov
ernment, but it is the plain duty of
every Democrat to refuse to sustain
him. This is the only solution of the
problem consistent with party adj
vantage, and If Mr.. Randall be not
set aside in favor of sincere repre-
sentative of the policy of tariff
reform, how will it be possible to ask
the support of the country for the
party of reform. The logic of the sit
nation is irresistible and it must be
followed, no matter what sacrifice of
personal predictions may be de-
manded in the execution of the stern
resolution. Let it not be forgotten
that Mr.. Randall, in the speakers
chair. would be veritable paddock on
the party's mouth in the campaign of
1884, an invitation to the merited de-
rision of every Republican newspa-
per and every Republican orator in the
country. 1t would be more than
Democracy could stand-the rock that
would drag it down beneath Lethean
waves.

CHALMERS, of Mississippi. who sud-
nenly turned himself over to the Re-
publicans for position, will discover,
probably, that his new line of politics
cannot be made to pay. Having run
for congress, he charged that he was
counted out by the secretary of state
and governor. Accordingly he sued
out writ of mandamus to compel the
withdrawal of the certificate of cleo
tion from his opponent, Mr. Manning,
and its issue to himself. The decis-
ion has jusl been rendered by the su-
preme court OF that state and Mr..
Chalmers is beaten at every point.
The case is thus referred to the house
for settlement. This>comes inoppor-
tiinely for Mr.. Chalmers. He has Just
been informed that the patronage of
his state is not to be conferred upon
him by the new postmaster general,
and the result will probably be that
he will have to turn his attention to
something else.

ONE of the first evidences that the
anticipations of radical revolution
in the social, industrial and CONNER
cial condition of Mexico, as soon as
the stimulating influences of Ameri-
can energy and capital get fairly to
work, are not to be disappointed, is to
be found in the announcement of pro-
jected changes in the Mexican postal
service. Brought into close contact
with American life our neighbors
across the Rio Grande begin to un-
derstand that a tri-weekly mail ser
vice is not sufficient to meet the de-
mands of live and enterprising COM
munity in a thickly settled part of
the country. The revolution is at

THE cause of cremation is making
progress in Japan that will startle as
well as encourage the advocates of
cremation in western lands. 1t is
said that the number of bodies dis
posed of in that way is about nine

tall chimney that makes it look like a

A "Gath,, Renaissance.
New York Tribune. ]


Yesterday was the eighteenth an
niversary of the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln; Good Friday in
1865 happened on the 18th of the
month. It was on Easter Sunday fol-
lowing that DR.. Samuel Mudd, coming
home from the Catholic church near
George T.. Mudd, the fact that two
strangers had stopped at his house the
previous morning, Saturday, and zone
of them called for razor and
shaved his face, thereby dis
guising himself" The reason
this communication was made to
George Mudd was that he had been an
unqualified union man, and besides a
man of thorough conscience, yet a
devout Catholic. one of the early race
OF English Catholics settled in Mary
land. Last Tuesday, in order to real
iZe the appearance of that region of
country. at the season of year when
Booth traversed it, 1 rode in car
riage with friend from Washington
to Surrattsville, thence to Reeves
church, where Mudd worshiped, and
thence to Bryantown, the little en-
porium of that district, where Booth
lodged on his first visit to lower
Maryland.
1 spent last Thursday evening with
DIR. George Mudd, talking over Mrs.
Surratt and his cousin, recently de-
ceased, who was also his medical pu-
pill, and Harold, Anna Surratt, AtZer-
odn and all the rest. The next morn
ing l drove out to the BryantoWn
Catholic church and saw the new
made grave of DR.. Sam Mudd, who
was buried only aIfew weeks ago, and
the sexton opened the church to me
and felt myself, in that sacred in
closure, as if was in the very spot
where the devil had alighted among
the worshipers on this earth; for there
Booth walked in on the Sabbath morn
ing as the strange guest of a neigh
boring communicate, to whom he
had brought letter from the partner
of ThomasSen, afterward the Bremen
dynamite fiend; on the large cedar
strewn lawn before the church he had
been introduced to DIR. Mudd, whom
he so soon brought into his tolls, and
there he heard the worship and the
tinkling of the bell and saw the bow
ing before the Host, and all the while
his mind was on the theme of draw
ing trail of blood and fire through
that sequestered district.

THE Galveston Print saws:

Practically, it is very doubtful
whether the other members will re-
buke the governor for his assumption
at the instigation of Col. Brown. 1t
would be a good lesson if they did so.
But officials generally do not affect
quarrelling with the executive.
Hence we would simply remark that
the people are looking on, and that
they like C9sarism no more than Col.
Brown does.
C@sarism is novel signifcation for
that which Mr.. Brown fastens on the
