LOCATION.

LLANO County is situated in the noun
famous region of Central Texas, about
seyenty-fve miles northwest of Austin.
Sleuntain ranges traverse the county. Ly-
ing between these ranges are broad, fertile
valleys, covered with trees, and here and
there dotted with the corn and cotton
fields of the husbandman. The county has
an area of about 600, 600 acres, comprising
the finest grazing and stock-raising lands
in the state. Until within few years its
population consisted of a few herdsmen,
living in their scattered huts, but recently.
the county has progressed amaZipisasssIdsAs
riculture, and now hsSssiEps8 sSo,500 acres
under c1ltiERsiezf The population, too,
hassis4Eeased at a rapid pace, and now
numbers nearly 10000. Flourishing little
towns have sprung up in various parts Of the
county, with churches, schools and all the
comforts of civilization. Nature has be-
slowed her beauty lavishly upon the region,
giving it mild and healthful climate, high
altitude, a pure and invigorating atmos-
phere, and a never-failing abundance of
water, both in springs and large streams.

William L. JOY, president of the Sioux
National Bank of Sioux City, of Iowa. after
a careful inspection said: There is more
undeveloped wealth within twenty miles Of
the city of Llano than the entire assessed
valuation of the state of Texas at the pres

VIM. II. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record of Baltimore, Md, after
spending several days in this region, said:
"Llano county. all told, does not cover
100000 acres, and yet in two or three years
time, one-tenth of this area could be made
to yield more freight for the railroads Of
Texas than all of the 3, 1872, SIS acres of corn,

To one who, for the first time, ascends
"Town Peak at the base of which winds
the river. and allows his gaze to rest for
moment upon the spires of the busy city
spread out before him, then to wander up
the valley catching here and there, between
the trees, glimpse of the winding river,
he no longer wonders from whence the poet
derived his inspiration to write:
Lives there man with soul so dead
Who meier unto himself hath said,

For truly, go East or V est-go North or

lovely sight for the eye to rest upon than

by the distant mountains standing out clear

A Novel Plan For a New City Hall.

A. E. Beach, one of New York's we'll.
known architects, proposes novel and
ingenious plan for a new municipal
building in City Hail Park which is to
preserve the old historic City Hall by
placing it on the top of the structure. The
edi6ce, according to Mr.. Beach's design,
is to be fireproof building of fifteen
stories and occupying ground space of
200 By $50 feet. The height of the
main building is to be 200 feet; includ-
ing the old City Hall 26O feet, and in
Guiding the cupola 314 feet. He, would
raise the old City Hall to its proposed
commanding altitude on an iron floor by
means of jacks. The new hail would
contain, in addition to twelve court
rooms, a reception hall, Mayors apart
ments and the Aldermen's Council
Chamber, between 800 and 400 rooms
for the Departments OF Law, Finance,
Taxes, Public Works aud Records,
offices for the Sheriff, County Clerk,
Register, Surrogate, Chamberlain aud
various other municipal bureas. The
architt cture conforms in general outline
with that of the present City Hall. The
estimated cost of this remarkable affair
is S., 000,0 900. Mr.. Beach has prepared
a preliminary sketch of his design. Tho
present City Hall is 216 feet by 10S.-

It is said that there are 700 species with

courage the local study of botany, tho

judged from the fact that 100 have been

The odor of musk has been known to
cause people with sensitive oltactory
nerves TO faint away, but it is most sur
prising to learn, observes Harper's
Weekly, that the perfume Of flowers can
affect singers soice. Madame PATHS
maid, however, makes the statement that
the perfume OF violets causes hoarse-
ness in the diva's throat such as might
be due a bad cold. Consequently no
plants Of any kind, and especially no cut
flowers, are ever allowed to remain in

Perfumes the Horse Likes.

There are some perfumes that are very
grateful to horses, however little credit
horse may commonly receive for pos
sessing delicacy of scent.
Horse trainers are aware of the fact
and make use of their knowledge in
training stubborn and apparently intract-
able animals. Many trainers have favor
lite perfumes, the composition of which
they keep secret, and it is the posses
sion of this means of appealing to the
horses estheticism that enables so many
of them to accomplish such wonderful
results.--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A report issued by the London So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children has caused sensation BY the
statements it contains relative to the
cruel and oft times inhuman punishments
inflicted upon children. The society has
interfered with clergymen, officers, bar
risters and other members of the gentry,
who it had learned were treating their
children inhumanly. Among the pun
ishments people Of this class inflicted
upon the helpless children are mentioned
sticking pins in them, placing lighted
matches up their nostrils, burning
wounds upon them with matches, break
ing the limbs of wo-year-old babies in
three places, tying rope around six
.ycar-old boy and dipping him into a
canal repeatedly until he was exhausted,
keeping child in cellar until its flesh
turned green, tying cords around the
thumbs Of a child and then tying it to a

A few days ago one of the agricultural

The experiment was made to see how far

work. This subject is pressing for atten.
