victim (St. Dennis) to inflict upon his
former executioner such chastisement as
he might deem Just and proper. IL Is
useless to describe here the face OF the
terror stricken Don Gaspardo de Anaya.
st. Dennis enjoyed the pleasure for
fem moments to witness the tortures OF
that scoundrel. lie overpowered him
by his generosity in pardoning him, and
left him to the punishment OF his con-
science. After this he set out as fast as
possible for the Preside de Rio Grande,
where he found Donna Maria happy to
see him, and proud Of having saved her
lover.
TIE PRESIDE IL DisTREss-sT. DENNIS FER
FORMS A SIGNAL SERVICE.
But upon his arrival at the Preside
st. Dennis found 1t in the greatest desc
lation. and Don Pedro de Nillescas held
at bay by the Indians. 1t appears that the
Indians, who lived in five small villages
around the Presidio, had abandoned
them upon the ground that the Span
iards imposed upon them In every way
and manner. The Preside had conse-
quently been deserted, and Villesoas
feared that he would be punished for
not preventing such complete abandon
ment or exodus.
10 all this st. Dennis said; 81 will
follow the trail OF the Indians and bring
them back"
"Oh, do that" said Villescas, "and
all | possess in in this world shall be
yours"
HE pt'RsuEs THE PLYING INDIANS AND TURNS
THEM BACK BY his ELoQuENcE.
Immediately st. Dennis mounted his
horse and started in the direction taken
by the Indians, who, being accompanied
by their women and children, and hay
ing all effects along. travelled very slow.
lie was not long in overtaking them,
travelling along the banks of river,
probably the Neuces. lie hailed them,
and placing white handkerchief at the
point Of his sword, he ran toward them.
The Indians surrounded the peace mes
senger. st. Dennis then addressed them,
and guaranteeing to them In the name
of the commander of the Preside com
plete protection against the unjust acts
that they complained OF, and also prom
ising them Justice for the damages that
they had suffered. With his warm
speech he easily persuaded them, demon
strating to them that ii was imprudeni
for them to abandon their lands ant
present homes without knowing where
to go to plant their tents; that they
might 20 and settle among foreign tribes
that would probably he more hostile IL
them than the Spaniards.

A Solid House.

Among the oldest and best known
houses of San Antonio, stands the firm
of Elmendorf q Co., hardware mer-
chants on Main plaza, with a branch
house on Alamo plaza. The business
was established in 1865, by Mr.. Charles
Elmendorf, father of the members of the
present firm, ut the same stand on Main
plaza. After his retirement, the broth
ers, Henry and Emil, continued the
business with great energy, enterprise
and success, until to-day 1t Is unsur-
passed, If equaled by any house in Tex
as, its facilities for supplying the needs
OF the builders mechanics, farmers and
stockmen of Western Texas and Middle
Texas, and Mexico. An inspection will
show that their stock Is immense, and
their assortment varied and complete,
of all kinds Of improved tools, agricul-
tural implements machinery, gins, etc.,
fence wire, builders hardware, and
many incidental articles, too numerous
to mention, and we would say that no
purchaser of goods in their line should
fail to inspect their splendid stock be-
fore purchasing.

Area of Texas.

Texas is double the size of Great
Britain and Ireland. 1t has of miles
10000 more than France, $4,000 more
than Germany, and "a 900 more than the
Austrian Empire. Compared with the
divisions on this side of the Atlantic, 1t
is larger than all Of our Eastern and
Middle States combined, and would take
In Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Miohi-
gan, together with two additional States,
each the size Of Ohio. The characters
tic term, empire State Of the South
west" conveys, therefore, no IDLE boast
when applied to Texas. This great
commonwealth is truly an empire In It,
self, exceeded In territorial extent by
few of the empires OF the world.

One of San Antonio's Best and
Most Useful Institutions.

In our annual edition this year we
wish to take notice Of an enterprise that
has very quietly and speedily grown to
large proportions, and become one Of
San Antonios most noted institutions,
the fame of which has extended into
almost every county in Southwestern
Texas and Mexico. We have reference
to the San Antonio Eye and Ear inilrm-
airy, at the corner OF Houston and st.
Mary streets, Of which N. $. Burnham,
NJ. d., o. ct A. CHR, is surgeon in
charge.
In looking through the inflrmary we
saw many wonderful things. We were
shown an instrument whereby the Doc
tor Is enabled to look into the interior of
the eyeball and see in the back part of ii
all the veins and arteries, passing over
1t in every direction, as plainly as the
railroads and rivers are marked upon
map, also its healthy as well rs Its dis
eased or deranged condition.
We also saw Instruments that enabled
the Doctor to see deeply down In the
throat, the vocal cords, and up behind
the palate into the back part of the nose
and inner ear, thus revealing completely
all those hidden parts, so that there is
no reason to guess at the condition of
those parts any more; all are clearly
seen and their healthy or diseased con-
| dition ascertained as completely rs the
palm of the hand, and the same can be
said Of the treatment, by the aid OF the
ingenious instru uents the Doctor Is able
to treat and apply his medicines just 10
the diseased parts as he wishes.
We were shown also shown some cases
| fnr tng al ha
ments of vision in every form and de-
gree, and the means Of correcting them
when possible; they were lately pro-
cured from Paris. France, at great ex-
pense People who cannot read, write
or do fine work, or look steadily ut any
thing without wearying the eyes or
causing pain in them, can find relief
here at once. 1t is the same for those
who wear glasses, and all who need
them should consult Dr. Burnham and
find just what is proper for them to
wear.
We have not the spnce to do justice TO
this institution in this article. We can
safely assure our renders that II Ii the
best equipped in the way of instruments
and medicines. the most finely furnished,
and conviently arranged rooms, both for
the patients and surgeon of any In the
Southwest, and that the skill Of the

hundreds who have been successfully
treated by him here. His rooms are
crowded most of the time by parties
from all parts of the State and Mexico,
enough to keep himself and assistant
constantly busy.
DR.. Burnham has procured newly
discovered drug from Germany, which
completely removes the pain In all in
Examinations and injuries Of the eye, and
crooked eyes may be Strengthened, cat
aracts removed and all operations on
the eye, ear, nose and throat per
formed without the use Of anything like

most complete case for testing eyes and

Sleep and Cleanliness Of Aats.


It is probable that al ants enjoy p
dods Of true slumber alternating with
hose Of activity but actual observe
hons on this subject have only been
made in the case of two OF three speclea.
Dr.. McCook says that the harvesting
ants Of Texas sleep 80 soundly that they
may be pretty severely stroked with
leather without being aroused but they
are Immediately awakened by sharp
tap. On awakening they often stretch
their limbs in Q manner precisely re-
sembling that of warm-blooded animals,
and even yawn-the latter act being
every like that OF the human animal
the mandibles are thrown open with the
peculiar muscular strain which Is IA
miliar to I'LL readers; the tongue Is also
some times thrust out" The ordinary
duration Of sleep In this species is about
three hours. Invariably on awakening,
and often Mt other times, the ants per.
form, like many other insects, elaborate
processes Of washing and brushing. But,
unlike other insects, ants assist one
another in the performance OF their
toilet.
The author just quoted describes tho
whole process in the genus Alta. The
cleanser begins with washing the face
Of her companion, then passing on to
the thorax, legs and abdomen. The
attitude of the c!eansed all this while Is
one OF intense satisfaction, quite re-
sembling that of family dog when one
is scratching the back Of his neck. The
insect stretches out her limbs, and as
her friend takes them successfully into
hand, yields them limp and supple
to her manipulation she rolls gently
over on her side, even quite over on hen
back, and with all her limbs relaxed pre-
sents perfect picture Of muscular sur
render and ease. The pleasure which
the creatures take in being thus
"combed" and "sponged" is really en-
Ioyable to the observer. have seen an
ant kneel down before another and
thrust forward the head dropping quite
under the face, and Lie there motionless,
