Special Correspondence Of the Gazette.
BURNETT, Tex, Dec. Your CORE
spondent IN company with Gen. john
ston and son, Mr. Chapman, an artist,
and several other gentlemen made trip
TO the Marble Falls in this county a few
days ago. Although having heard Of this
noted place hundreds Of times, we were
not prepared to witness such panorama
as open up to tae vision OF man, The
first impression 4 makes upon the mind
Of man is the grandeur aud sublmity Of
the surroundings. While standing upon
the bank of the river overlooking the
falls, a thought suggested itself To my
mind how little Is known Of this natural
wonder, u place where scientists and
Eaturalsts could give full vent 10 their
mental powers for days. The principal
attractions OF the place are mountains OF
solid granite, which II properly utilized,
would be a source OF large revenue TO the
owners and the state for centuries TO come.
There are beds Of the finest quality OF
yaregated marble, equalling perhaps any
In the United STA es. Independent of
that there is the best quality Of litho.
graph stone, equalling that OF Germany.
Experts have tested IL and have 80 de-
clded. Ia close proximity TO the IA
vured spot are mountains OF iron ore
which biologists have tested and pro-
nounced to be rich. Another source Of
revenue is the large quantity OF asbestos,
also large bodies of cedar which can be

these rs the water power. 1t really looks
as II nature designed and fashioned the
falls for manufacturing purposes, so well
adapted are they for machinery, The
water at the falls has a capacity Of 2500
horsepower, and when at It's lowest ebb
ia never below 2000 The state, II It
would act wisely, ought by all means TO
purchase the land surrounding the falls
and build the penitentisry now con-
templated. II could there utilize
the convict labor 70 profit.
There Is no question that the marble falls
is the place for the penitentiary, possess.
| ing as IL does more natural advantage OF
/ wealth than any point In the state, and as
health resort 1t cannot be excelled, as
there is perfect drainage, nothing 20
cause miasma, and such thing as chills
has never been knswn by the Oldest In
/ hsbitant. Truly may it be said that the
half has never been told OF this noted
retreat.
The town Of Burnct, twelve miles dis
tant from the falls, is a live and progress
slye little city OF 1000 Inhabitants. II
has one railroad, and the prospect bids
fair for another In the near future. Stock
OF all kinds are in prime condition, owing
10 the bountiful supply Of grass and
water.

that am ignorant OF the positions taken
by those who call themselves free grassn

with reference to the occupancy Of lands

whether owned by the state or by indi-

where all kinds OF stock can roam at will.
2. am opposed to more than GAO acres

international & Great Northern Rail
way company VS.. r. S. Ragsdale. APP
peal from Medina county. This action
was brought by appellee to recover OF APP
pellant damages for the destruction by
Ore of grass and timber on appellee's
land, alleged to have been caused by
sparks negligeutly emitted from appel
lanps engine. Appellees were permit
ted over tie objections of appellant In the
court below, 60 prove the declarations Of
one Gooch, an alleged agent of the com
pauy, who adjusted claims against the
company for stock killed and injured
The testimony admitted was that Gooch
told appellee that he would pay
him $500 for damages incurred
II when he heard from the "aud-
itor and st. Louis" II was
agreed to by the company Held, mad
Missile. When party offers so much
TO another in compromise of suit, 1t Is
only saying he will give so much to be
rid of the suit, and should not be admit
ted in evidence. Appellee In May, 1884,
conveyed the land to one Kempf by deed
absolute, but there was verbal contract
that appellee was to have possession until
November In the fall appellee bought
the land back. The parol agreement was
contrary to the written deed and there
fore void. Appellee hela the land only
by the forbearance Of the legal owne d.
lie would be entitled to recover nominal
damages, perhaps, but not more, In the
absence OF proof Of some special injury
other than the destruction OF the grass
and timber. For the error OF admitting
proof Of compromise the cause Is re-
versed aud remanded. Gaines, j.

The EskimOs Of Alaska.

The Eskimo part of the population of
Alaska is of far different nature than is
generally supposed by Americans. They
are not small like the inhabitants of
Greenland and Labrador, but are tall and
muscular, many of them being over six
feet in height. They have small, black
eyes, high cheek bones, large mouths,
thick lips, and fresh yellow complications
Their hair is of a coarse brown, and in
many instances the men have full boards
and mustaches. They are a good-natured
set of people, always smiling when
spoken TO, and they are fond of dancing,
running, jumping, and all other athletic
sports. They dless in the skins of ami
mails, and buy, whenever they can,
American clothing. The houses they
live in have the outward appearance of
circular mounds of earth covered with
grass, with a small opening at the top for
the escape of smoke. The entrance is a
small door, and narrow hallway to the
main room, which is from twelve to
twenty feet in diameter. These Alaska
Eskimos eat chiefly meat and fish They
do not like salt at all, and while they
will smack their lips over decayed fish or
putrid oil, they will turn up their noses
at a mouthful of the finest corned beef.
They all smoke tobacco men, women
and children-and they have at one place
an annual fair to which they come for
hundreds of miles to trade. - CtereJdnd

One Of the small, rocky islands of
Pyramid Lake, Nevada, is alive with
rattlesnakes. 1t is supposed that the
progenitors of these snakes were waited
TO the island on punches Of floating reeds
or rats of driftwoo1. There are thou
sands, if not millions the people about
the lake say millions of the rattlers on
the island, and their right to it there is
''none to dispute" The reptiles have
their homes among the rocks and feed
upon the eggs and young of waterfowl
and dead fish that are cast on the island.
Stories have been told of these snakes
rushing forth in body, Kissing and
rafting, to attack any one landing upon
the island. The rattlesnakes of the
island, when disturbed, glide away and
hide themselves in the crevices of the
rocks, Just as would similar snakes on
the mainland, though they halt and show
fight when hard pressed.

representation of the animal. Some Of
these balloons have fireworks attach
ments, which are set off when in mid-air,
exhibiting in all varieties of color a
bursting of shells, showers of golden
rain and the dazzling brilliancy of the
meteor.
Nearly all the fireworks come into the
market in assorted cases, which range in
price from SO to 5000. A case that can
be bought for $50 contains 1886 colored
Roman candles, IA sky rockets, "a
flower pots with handles, 10 Bengal
lights, 16 colored triangle wheels, p
mines of colored stars, colored vertical
wheels, 6 dozen pin wheels, ~ dozen col
ored lights, "a sticks Chinese punk and
one unexcelled colored show bill. Extra
large pieces are sold single. A girandole
costs about 1925, a flight of rockets
from $50 to 500, and a piece called
"whirling phantoms," $62. --NelO Yorh

Indian Dances.

Nautches, or dances of bayaderes, arc
one of the favorite entertainments of the
rich in India, and the indispensable ac-
compartment of every religious ceremony
or festival. Sometimes, on great occa-
SONS, the head of the house invites Eu-
ropeans of his acquaintance to witness
the performance of these girls, which,
with their pale compilations and large
black eyes, look lovely in their rich cos
tunes covered with diamonds. How
ever, one must not look in these enter
tainments for q dance in the general
acceptance of the word; posturing, atti
tudes and songs constitute the official
nautch of the Hindoos. On those occa-
sions the demeanor of the bayaderes is
quite correct, and their costume is more
modest than that of the women in gen
eral. At the Guicowar's Court at Bar
oda, the bayaderes have perfect liberty
to go wherever they please. They enter
the Kings apartments, seat themselves
on the floor, and converse boldly with
persons of the very highest rank. This
singular privilege accorded to the nautch
is of some service, their presence making
up in some slight degree, for the alb
sence of the ladies shut up in their
Zenann.
A dance infinitely more graceful and
interesting than that executed by the
nautch girls is the egg dance. The
dancing girl, dressed in the ordinary cos
tune of the women of the people--a
bodice and very short sarri-carries on
her head wicker wheel, placed perfectly
horizontal. Round this wheel threads
are attached at equal distances, which
are provided at their extremities with a
slipknot kept open by means of a glass
bead. The dancing girl advances to-
ward the spectators, holding basket
filled with eggs, and to the measure OF
a monotonous and jerky strain of music,
begins turning herself around with great
rapidity. Then, Selling an egg, she in.
serts it in one of the lip-knots. BY means
of centrifugal action the thread holding
the egg is frightened and placed in {
straight line with the corresponding
spoke of the wheel. One after the othel
the eggs are thrown into the slip knots
and form horizontal aureola around the
head Of the dancing girl. At this poin
the dance becomes more and more rapid
and the least false step, the slightes
stoppage, would smash the eggs on
against another. The eggs are thel
withdrawn one by one in the same man
ner in which they have been fixed, ant
this second operation is the more delicat
of the twO.--L0ndOR Queen.
