BUCHAREST, September 17.-Britano,
the Roumanian Prime Minister. was
shot at last evening by an assassin. He
perceived the mans intention in time
to spring cut of the path of his aim.
The bullet struck Robecco, a member
of the Chamber of Deputies, and
wounded him. The assassin was ar
rested and locked,up; he confessed that
for politicalTeasons he intended to kill
Britano. The weapon he used was a
pistol. ....
The attempt to assassinate Britano,
has produced a great excitement among
the people. Crowds surrounded the
building occupied by the only newspa-

prime minister and blamed the editor
for infaming the hostile feeling against
him, and smashed all the furniture and
fittings belonging TO the concern. They
savagely attacked and wounded two

and dispersed the mob. Afterwards the
crowd attempted to lynch the prisoner,
but were foiled by the police.

Berlin if there was anybody in the CITY
who did not drink beer. He thought
there was not: and another whom I
asked whether there was any water

in the question, but answered naiyely {:

structive affections of the lungs, the i'm

Florida nor California, on account of their
proximity to the great oceans can have
the dryness of atmosphere peculiar TO
western Texas.
As illustrative of this feature of the
climate of Austin and vicinity, we cannot
do better than recite the experience OF a
| correspondent of an Iowa paper, who told
his story over the non dc plume, "Fcrgu-
son." in an open letter written years ago.
For months before he came TO Texas his
health had been giving way, and early in
the fall he had hernorrhage from the
lungs, dyspepsis had reduced him almost to
skeleton, and his physician informed him
that unless he went south for the winter,

and for month we travelled and hunted
over a number of the counties west and
northwest of Austin and San Antonio,
with the most gratifying result of

and gain of twenty pounds in weight in
the period of thirty days. Our companion
on that trip is still living, and this fact can
be attested if necessary.
The experience of this citizen Is not an
unusual one. San Antonio has many not
able Instances of remarkable recoveries
in the personnel of some of her citizens
and Austin citizenry is made up in fail
part, of persons who have been attracted
hither by the salubrIty and curative abili
ties of her climate.
The two cities are equally favored in
point of salubrity of atmosphere, which
is rare, mild and balmy at the same time,
but
AUSTIN Is THE MOST FAVORED
of the two in the matter of topography
geology and local surroundings.
San Antonio is located on black, heavy
ground, in the valley Of the San Antonio
river, which pursues a very tortuOus
course from one end of the city to the
other. 1t is traversed by numerous shall
low irrigating bitches, which branch off in
every direction, and which are extensively

used for gardening purposes. From these
and the winding river much moisture and
fog is thrown off, while nothing of this
kind obtains in Austin. San Antonio is
much more compactly built than is Austin,
and it lacks altogether, anything like the
natural drainage the latter is blessed with,
and in winter it is very muddy. The
country around San Antonio in all direc-
tions, except to the south, is higher than
the city proper, while to the south it is a
vast mesquite fat. AS remarked, the two
cities are favored with the same pure,
notwithstanding atmosphere, and in this
they are equal. But in point of topogra-
ply, natural drainage, dryness of soil and
local altitude, Austin is far ahead. Coup
ling this with her better and cheaper
boarding facilities, her better churches
and schools and magnificent landscape
surroundings, it occurs to the writer that
Austin is certain to become the
sanitarium of northern pulmonary inva-
lids as soon as her advantages are pro-
perly known.
By reference to the msp it will be OBJ
served that Austin is in nearly the same
latitude as southern Georgia and north
ern Florida, whose climates have been so

stances of its recuperative powers. One
of our prominent citizens gives the fol-
lowing account of his case:
1t was in the month of March, 1875, that
directed my footsteps to southern
climate for my health. My early years
had been spsnt in Ohio and Kansas, the
variableness of whose climate and the oc-
casional severity OF whose winters are now
proverbial, but not more notably so than
are those of all our northern and eastern
states. Though naturally hearty and
resistant, the severity of the northern
winters told upon me, and ere the age of
manhood had been arrived at, nasal and
bronchial catarrh had we'll nigh Slapped
the foundation of my existence. Ozena
in one of its worst forms, soon rendered
! life almost intolerable, and bronchitis SO
reduced my strength and weight that
! sympathizing friends predicted the early
filling of a galloping consumptive's
grave. A constant cough harrassed me,
copious expectoration and sweatings re-
duced my strength, and slight bronchial
hemorrhages occurred on several occas-
ions. An uncle had died of consumption,
and the outlook was not pleasing. A
change of climate was decided upon, and
early in the month and year named, the
removal to Texas was made.
On the first day of March the train was

distances almost beyond belief. The hills
and plains and valleys were putting on
the bright garb of spring, and all nature
looked bright and inviting. The fields

crops of summer, and in the valleys the
corn was already sprouting from the mel

aptly styled the "Health Belt" of Texas,
but can produce willing witnesses to the
curative capacity of the climate.
AUSTIN IS THE GATEWAY
and chief distributing point of this great
health section, and is, at the same time,
the most beautiful and attractive of all
the cities of Texas. Approaching from
the north by way of the great Missouri
Pacific, the road traverses a rich agricul.
tural country until within few miles OF
the capital city, where the scene changes
and the foot hills of the Colorado noun
tains, upon which Austin is located, are
brought into view. The agricultural por-
tions of Texas are not classed, in general
as possessing claims to healthfulness,
and it is only when Austin i:
approached, that the visitor finds him
self in the section whose climate claims
special consideration as
PULMONARY sANITARIUM.
When the journey to Austin is com
pleted, however, a sanitarium is arrived al
whose natural advantages equal, if, in
deed, they do not altogether surpass
those of any of the more celebrated anG
more widely advertised pulmonary re-
sorts of this or other portions of the
United States.
We shall state briefly a few typical in
