the bird which symboizes ADerica's greatness, and independence, and after seeing our proud bird career on high in the face of, and above the storm I was prepared to entertain a very high opinion Of eagles general ly and of the Mexican eagle partic- ularly.
 When was boy, read of the eagle. of his independence, his courS age, his strength, and the loftiest flights of boyish imagination were sent off on eagles wings. And when I have read of the American bird l felt proud, and when of the Mexican eagic have felt that the Aztec had something to be proud of in his na- tional bird. But when learned that he is nothing but very small white headed, white legged, spotted tailed buzzard l send mp no more sublime flights of imagination upon his wing. How would this do for poetry. "Rise on buzzard's wings" such is the symbol of Mexican na- tlonal greatness. How appropriate 1 will not dare to say.
 On the San Marcos river some 40 or 90 miles south of Austin, is as good country as any saw while in Texas, where I saw the best country 1 am not able to say. In Colwell county 1 saw the largest cactus that I ever looked at anywhere. There are three different kinds of it, all growing among the Mesquite, Web bushes. The common cactus which we have here only much larger. The lance cactus, named from the shape of the leaf, and the bush, or hedge cactus, which grows up like a butter weed somewhat, but has the verita- ble cactus thorn. The Mesquite and cactus render ride through them interesting, if not pleasant.

 --Sallust is the name of a Roman historian who wrote the history of the Jugurthan war. The book called Sal lust is simply the book containing fragments of his historical works, like almost all latin books take the names of their authors. Sallust belongs to the latin course of study adopted by the best Colleges and Universi- ties of America and Europe. It has been preserved and read, not so much on account of it's excellency of style, as on account of it's being specimen of Roman history.

 The following is description of the combination letter sheet envel- ope and stamp, about to be adopted by the postofiice department: "The single letter sheet IS manufactured with gummed flaps, which when the sheet is folded lap over two open edges and secure the missive. The government stamp is to be neatly embossed on one of these flaps which come over like the flap of an envel- ope and the whole thing is licked, stamped and sealed with the same motion. This brings the stamp where the old seal and wafer used to be, instead of beng on the upper right hand corner as at present. The postmaster will not be compelled to apply the cancellation stamp, as the letter cannot be opened nor the em bossed stamp removed without des- troying the stamp. While the whole arrangement looks like a neat trick, the principal advantage is It's cheap ness both to the government and the public. To the man who write. his communication on one side of the sheet, as most business men do, it will be a saving of fifty per cent. Tn time and expense. To the govern ment it will be equally advantag- eous. It will cost but trifle more than an ordinary envelope and Tn general use will save, it is alleged, half the present weight of the letter mai. l."-Ex.
