Austin.

We were at Austin on Friday last, after
an absence of seven months. We found the
city wrapped in heat and dullness-one
handsome new building on the Avenue was
all we noticed. We met several of the citi-
zens and were posted up to some extent in
State and local politics. We visited the new
Capitol-you have to purchase ticket be-
fore you can be admitted. The foundations
have advanced greatly since our last visit,
but are yet but little above ground. They
are vastly massive and seemingly perfect
A gentleman in charge politely showed us
over the walls, but it was so insufferably
hot we could scarcely appreciate his kind
ness. He said twelve of the workmen had
given out that forenoon and six in the
afternoon and negro had died of sunstroke
the day before. 1t was the the hottest place
we think we have ever visited, the reflection
from the stone greatly increasing the heat.
Stopping at the Carrollton House, we
were pleased to find DR.. Harm, the prophet
or, considerably improved in health. By
the advice of physicians, however, he de-
signs closing his house for time, and 60
ing with his family on a sojourn in Mary
land, etc.
