seen cry.

Eastern travellers tell of the marvellous
effect produced upon those who have
traversed wild wastes of sand, and stand
for the first time upon the mountains
overlooking the valley of Damascus. A
kindred effect is produced upon those
who have crossed the boundless. mOnot-
onous prairie of the west, and catch the
first view of the "Hill city of the SOUTH"
From the lofty range, which bounds the
elevated pralries on the south, the scene
is truly imposing. Range upon range of
hills, clothed with their perpetual green,
descend by regular graduation to the plain
below. The Colorado is seer fretting its
impatient way round cliffs of jagged
stone, until il bursts Its shackles, and
rushes into the broad alluvial valley to be
lost again amid the luxuriant orchards
and cotton fields to the east. A thin line
of smoke on the south announces the ar
rival of railway train bearing the fruits
and products of Mexico and the tropics;
a second marks the departure of one
laden with the feecy staple, and bound

higher and higher, as the work goes up,
and which run above the structure like
the masts of a tremendous vessel, and by
means of which pieces of dressed granite,
weighing from ten to fifteen tons, lime
stene and other material are taken from
the cars on the railroad track, that sur
rounds the building, and are placed where
they belong in and upon the superstruc-
ture. There is no building anywhere that
has as perfect and complete a building
plant as is now in operation upon and in
connection with the Texas state house.
Three hundred men are at present at
work upon the building, and there are
about 1000 men who are engaged in diff
ferent sections of the United States and
Europe, either in manufacturing or pre-
pairing material for various portions of
the building. 1t is to be completed, I'M
der contract; not later than January /,
1890, but from the rapid progress now be-
ing made it is evident that it will be
finished early in 1889. The state of Texas
gives Chicago syndicate
THREE MILLION ACRES OF LAND,
located in solid body in
the extreme northwestern section of the
state, comprising nearly all of nine coun-
ties, territory larger than the state of Con-
ecticut, for building this state house accor-
ding to contract, plans and specifications
agreed to by the state authorities and the
syndicate, and it is estimated that the
building, when completed, will have cost
the syndicate about $4,OO0,O0O.
The exterior of the Texas state house is
being constructed of native red granite
from quarries in Burnett county, seventy
five miles west of Austin, where there are
solid barren mountains of this durable
material in inexhaustible quantities, pro-
nounced by experts to be equal in every
respect to the celebrated red granite of
Scotland. The interior and dome walls of
the building are. respectively, of rubble
and dimension limestone from the quar-

The design of the new state
house borders on the Doric, or, as it has
been termed, new Greek style of archi-
lecture. In form it approximates the
Greek cross, with projecting center and
Hanks, having a rotunda and dome at the
intersection of the main corridors. From
east to west it is $50 feet long; from north
to south 287 feet deep, and the height to
the apex of the dome is 311 feet. The

lost under the limestone channel of the
river, to appear again at this unexpected
point. Its water has strong mineral
taste and possesses the finest medicinal
properties, resembling that of Wooten
Wells. Families are camped on the hills
at all seasons of the year. It's beneficial
effects are being constantly tested, and it
is only matter of time when it will be
improved and have its hotel and other
conveniences. Another natural curiosity
is Darlington Springs, situated twelve
miles northeast of Austin. A morning drive
across the elevated, undulating prairie,
brings you to an excavation of irregular
shape on the brow of grassy ridge; this
is Darlington Springs, probably tine most
remarkable intermittent spring in Amer
lea. For months it's basin will be per-
fectly dry, then without warning, and
without regard to rain or drouth, an
immense body of water will issue from it
and pour down the slope like mill race
for days or months, to cease as suddenly
as it began. It's water is strongly impreg-
mated with sui phur, has a decided mineral
taste and smell, and changes the color of
the grass over which it runs, to the purest
white. The inhabitants, for a radius of
many miles, watch anxiously for it's flow,
and during the periods of active opera
ton village of tents cover the slope and
attest their faith in the efficacy of its
waters.
