DELIGHTED WITH AUSTIN.

j. +. Breish of Topeka, Kansas, has
been visiting different cities and sections
of Texas. He says Houston was too low
and oppressive and gave him the head
ache, but since he has been in Austin
he feels well and vigorous. He was
much impressed with the beauty of this
city. He will give his impressions in
series of letters to the Topeka papers.
He was astonished at the contrast be
tween the beautiful capitol building and
the rugged condition of the grounds
around it, which he thinks can be made
very beautiful and agreeable to visitors.
