Mr.. X. NJ. Castleman.

To the Editor of the Statesman.
How would Mr. R. NJ. Castleman do for
ths legislature. He has been among US
almost from boyhood, and we know him.
He is and has always been democrat.
As gentlemau of high moral character
and integrity ne has no superior in this
county. He has a fine, we'll balanced
mind. He has discretion, and he knows
the needs of Austin and the wants of the
country people. His course as president
of the board of trade shows he has
executive ability and that he is a live,
wide-awake, progressive man. No in
fuence could swerve him from
the path of duty and the
sophistry of demagogues and the wiles OF
cliques and rirgsters would not mIslead
him. Certain II is the county would 90
for him almost to man, and the writer
knows of no reason why the city should
not Years ago the democrats of this
county honored him by nominating and

Why not honor him again? What man in
all this comfy can raise an objection to
him? A FARyER.

piano solo by Miss Lane that was ex-
ceptionally tiue; a vocal Sc sction by Mrs.
Msxcy came next. Mrs Maxcy always de
lights her favored listeners, and last even
log was no exception. A piano duo by
Misses Male and Odom, "Bonnie
Doom" was finely executed, and
won well-merited applause. Mrs.
Gilbert sang the SHADOW Song" in a
ling and the ease with which she takes the
higher notes won an encore to which she
responded with Coming 1hro' the Rye"
Miss Julia Males rendition of the
Flower Song from Faust, was exquisitely
beautiful. She Sang the words in English
and was rapturously encored.
A piano quartette, "Overture t.
Oberoq," by Mrs. Townsend, Miss Georgia
Brown, Mrs. Gilbert and Miss o Ion was
highly appreciated, as was also trio by
Misses Odom, Male and Mr.. S acy.
Il is not saying anything less of the
balance of the programme 10 give par
ticuler mention of the quartette by Miss
Tips (violiu), NJ SIS Mllican (piano), Mr..
Paul MiIlett (vIolin) d Mr.. Henry KlOtz
(violin), but this merits it. It was great.
The reporter has run out of "adiectives"
at this point, or more elaborate men
ton would be made. The selection was
an orchestrated one from Ermiuie,
and WHEN i5 was over the house broke
out into storm of applause,
that could but be acknowledged by Ga
encore. The concert terminated with a
beautiful tableau,
No more fitting compliment could be
paid TO Miss doom than to wish that her
concert was as enjoyable and profitable
to herself IS it unquestionably was to her
audience.

a Work of Art.

"The Settlement of Austin's Colony" a
picture illustrative of the trials, difficult
ties and dangers under which Austin, the
"Father of Texas" and his heroic little
band of heroic colonists reclaimed from
the savage and oppressive despotism of
Mexico the grand state, of which we are
now 20 justly proud, is now on exhibition
at the new capitol.
Austin is represented in his manifo
capacity of general, judge, empresario,
and preparing to go to the front as the
private soldier. He is surrounded by
Chriesman, the surveyor; Foster, the
famous hunter; Samuel NJ. Williams, the
colonial secretary; Baron de Bastrop, the
commissioner; a scout, Green, from the
states; and negro, Austin's servant,
The work is realistic in conception and
execution; yet the artist has avoided all
unimportant details which would be likely
TO detract from the picture.
There is also ON exhibition the "Es-
quisse," or first study for a painting
Illustrative of the fall of the Alamo.
In the conception the artist has selected
the last or supreme moment of the
struggle. But these works are so extern
sive ia conception aud treatment that the
want OF space forbids en- attempt at de.
scrIption for the present. The artist,
however, who ia in the city for few days,
will, doubtless, take pleasure in giving
any description desired by those wishing
to examine the works The artist is Prof
H. H. McArde.
The paintings are in the rooms of Hon
