The Aransas Pass Road.

The depot grounds of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass railroad were the
mecca of hundreds of our people who
were out enjoying the fresh air and see
ing the sights. What was few weeks
ago lonesome river side garden, is
now Il buZZing railroad ward with all the
necessary adjuncts. The grounds are
about the best situated in the State.
They lie between the Sunset and Inter
national tracks with connection with
both, and have a river front of several
hundred yards. A street cur line runs
through them. and all the conveniences
for the public are handy Mt hand There
are two long side tracks which were
full with cars loaded with rails, ties and
bridge timbers. Engine No. /, the
"San AntOnio,n was on the track ready
to take construction train to the front
this morning. The long eur shed is al
ready completed, and foundations for
many of the other necessary buildings
are in, and some of them are in Cour Q of
construction. Piles of material are
found on every hand, such rs rails,
spikes, switches, ties, bridge timbers,
etc. Ii needs but visit to these grounds
to convince the most skeptcul that the
Arkansas Pass railroad is living insti-
tuition. Material il coming in more rap
idly now, and Il large additional force
will be put on the track-laying gang.

In the year 1869 the Bastle was built
in order to protect Charles V against the
inoursions of the Burgundians. Among
the noted prisoners was the celebrated
young French physician, DIR. Mannette,
who was called from his home by hired
ruilians who represented that u poor
woman was bleeding to death but Il short
distance away. The young man kissed
his pretty wife, hastily picked up his
case of instruments and departed on his
errand of mercy. The unfortunate man
was thrown into a lower dungeon Of the
Bastile and never saw his loved one
again. lie was discovered by the mob
who had broken down the strong doors
and overcome the guards and keepers of
this living tomb in the year 1883. The
wrecked man had been imprisoned 90
years when found, and from a young ac-
tive man had become complete human
wreck. As his liberators burst open
he door of his dungeon, the poor man
cried piteously that they should not
murder him, and us they gathered
around him he continually begged them
to 20 away that he wanted TO be left
alone, that the light hurt his eyes. The
horriiied spectators noticed that the
walls were covered with vernin, and In
places red marks which on close scru-
Jury proved to be blood. A most horri-
bic stencil peryaded the place, and they
were hurrying to get out when one OF
them discovered some characters on the
dirt besotted walls. Holding IL lantern
so that its rays reflected brightly on the
letters, they finally made out that Emer-
son sold goods cheaper than any other
man in San Antonio, and that Emerson's
was good place to get money or spend
IL. Good silver watches warranted AT
81, 50 and 81. Good clocks warranted
from 81 up. Money to loan at low rates
and that was all.

Our Farmers Our Salvation.

This is the time of year when every industrious farmer is busy breaking up his ground and pre- pairing for the years work. We are pleased to learn that our farm CTS, as q class this year have gone to work with a will, and if their energy holds out and they exer- else the proper intelligence-are governed by their experiences of past years-we can naturally eX- pect better times in the fall.
 The farmer is the bone and sin. CIV of the'land, and he should be lord of creation.' The merchant has tried the experiment of run ming the Gn$nces of the country for the past twenty years with sor- ry~success to himself or the gene, rLl community, and to-day they are tired and sick of the experiment of advancing, supplies on the grow ing crop. There is no money in the credit system either for tho mer- chaut or the farmer, and the Icme- dy for the evil lies alone with the farmer and that remedy is in the simple and feasible axiom; "Live at home"
 All are aware that after years of failure and low prices for cotton our farmers are not prepared to start out and live, without the as- sistance of the merchant to a cer- tain extent; but if the planters would go to work wi!h a concerted determination to raise their sup. plies at home, they would be sur prised to see the reduction in their accounts for the necessarics of life.
 That this country is capable of growing everything that the soil can produce has conclusively prov. on, and as far as stock is concerned the past winter has demonstrated that no people can surpass Us for the quality of meat raised, if the proper pains are taken, and that to at comparatively no cost.-Fe- liciana Na.) Sentinel.
