the idea Il forming an
American Paradise. Upon arriving in
France, Geni SEsun WAS received by his
soldier friends and introduced into the best
society. BE Immediately set about his

PATRIOT.
Before the war of the Revolution con-.
menced there lived in an eastern city
gentleman named James Swami, who was
q merchant and prominent citizen. When
the war commenced he joined his fortunes
with the patriot army and fought to the
close. By Washington and Lafayette he
was regarded as oae Of their most impor'
tant aids. At the close OF hoshli!es
Swami had been promoted for bravery
discretion and courage from the ranks until
he became Msjcr General. After the
war the financial depression Of TIE country
SO weighed upon this model patriot that he
gave almost the whole Of his private for

the prison in which he was confined, was
an ancient castle remode.ed and changed
to an immense prison.
By the then existing laws OF France the
creditors were compelled to support prls-
cnsrs who were confined for debt in the
same manner in which they had lived when

His prison, which consisted of three

FLIGHT OF FANCY.
How San Antonio is Described by a
Cbica2oan Correspondent

How San Antonio is Described by a
Cbica2oan Correspondent
The Chicago Western World has a
very imaginative writer on Its staff. In
speaking Of San Antonio, he says:
where will more quaintness and de-
light be seen than in Texas town of San
Antonio, where the roses lie on the red
roofs OF the long and low dwellings,
where the jalOusies are latioed with the
vine OF the night-blOoming cereus, where
the banana trees blow to ribbons In the
strong, sweet southeast gales, and the
lanes are lined with figs and aprioots,
and the walks under avenues OF stately
pecans; where forests draped In melan-
choly moss, swaying heavily, make the
landscape all unreal; where grapeyines
interlace the thickets with stems the
size OF forest trees themselves; where
the priests go about with flocks Of little
children cllDging TO their skirts, and
where the ruins of the old missions rival
In sculptured wonder many ruins of old
SPAIN"
Evidently the writer has been reading
one Of DIR. Kingsbury's old emigration
circulars, and having no personal knowl-
edge OF the city has gone astray.

Enterprise Rewarded.

Colonel j. L. Driskill, proprietor Of
the large hotel at Austin, Is at the Men
ger hotel. He says that he thinks that
the hotel will be ready for occupation by
the middle OF November, but he will not
open 1t until he can get man to run it
in first-class style.
One lesson can be drawn from Colonel
Driskill's enterprise, that is, that 1t pays
all around to do things we'll. The fact
of Austin having the best hotel in the
state, has led the Missouri Pacific to
boost 1t on their folders" and to adver-
tise Austin RS the best and most COM
Portable health resort in Texas. This
will bring trade to the hotel, and cannot
fail to be remuneratiVe to the citizens.

Will some Of the alderman "rise and

titled to know the bottom facts in the
case, If there was any job, and If there
was no such job it is due to the alder

fathers that the truth be made public,
so as to vindicate them. The talk on the
