q true cOloniZer. For one readily per-
| ceives that here in harmony with 9TH
ers, they constitute an important fac
| tor in the moulding Of a strong ear
nest and intelligent nation; being en-
dowed with strong sense of duty,
| coupled with untiring industry, which
| and obedience to law. No intense So
cialism prevails here, as is consequent
upon the establishment of new quar-
tiers. The residents of the city for
the most part are clever, courteous
and respectful, to business attentive,
and are Of approved valor.
If they rank in the upper class of
citizenship, it were not by their tenn
per and ill-discipline, as some erron-
cously suppose, but brought about
through their own resources, their
own energetic will, manly aspirations
and honest purposes. In their dOmes-
tic life, you notice the refinement, the
atmosphere of cheerfulness and the
their private life is gentle, loving and
affectionate.
Here is also to be seen humanity in
its simple state, few of the unaim-
liable type of residents still remaining
but their clouded and confused defects
are generally responding to the exer-
else of more perfect reason.
You cannot expect the continuance
of civil liberty or capacity of self gov
eminent, unless the people are educat-
ed. So San Antonio, to her honor be
ii said, that to be found within her
borders are large number of public
school houses, in addition to other in
situations of learning under bodies
corporate or supervised by religious
control, presided over by recogniz ed
teachers of ability and worth, where
the intellect of the young is educated
and character cultivated in it's best
forms under proper guidance and direc-
ton, thus equipping the future gener-
alton with such knowledge as will en-
able them to fill the sphere allotted to
them, in a manner equally honorabel
to themselves and to those who guild
ed their principles.
The many churches of the city are
self-evident of the piety and Christian
spirit of her people. Within the sane
many devotees kneel at the fount of
religious consolation. Nowhere have
1 witnessed more people whose life
move soundlessly in prayer or peni-
tential psalm.
OF the many churches the Roman
Catholic with their walls glowing
with the triumphs of the canvass pre-
dominate. But the Episcopalians,
Methodists, Baptists and other demon
nations have handsome, lofty and dur
able monuments to the faith to which
they are devoted. These sacred edi-
fees are presided over by Jealous and
devOut clergymen and ministers, who
persuade to reverence and love, those
habituated to the faith and Observ-
ance of religion, and by their precepts
and examples refresh yigorate and
enable the best traits of which hui
manity is susceptible of.
OF the most striking and imposing
buildings to be seen here, is the Fed

proves striking-and forms one of the
phases Of human life; for the self
same sun which gilds the one reflects
the other. While on this subject, it
may be not amiss to state, that were
some of the sidewalks in front of the
stores possessed of more smoothness
than they are at present there would
be ample compensation for the prop
erty owner and grateful feelings from
the travelling public.
San Antonio cannot boast of being
a manufacturing city. In this respect
she is amply deficient. True there
are some factories of limited capaci-
ty and moderate turnout. There is
not to be seen or felt that hum and
hustle the life of that something in
conceivable-excitem and power
which surrounds continued industry
in all the grandeur Of her proud and
various career. While she is sleep
ing, more earnest cities are stealing
march upon her, and are distancing
her on the road to progress. Every
thing conductive thereto is within
reach. Demand is knocking at the
door of supply. The business men of
the city know full we'll the meaning
of the word enterprise, and regard In
dustry as all important. In their
ranks are to be found those with plan
and system; practicable ability, apti-
tude for affairs, competency and pos
sessed of sufficient energy and means,
to inaugurate and operate successful
ly factories, which would reflect cred
it to themselves, rebound to the bene-
fit of their city and state, and prove
a boon to many who desire to have
their leisure hours curtailed, their
many necessities relieved and their
discomfort removed by work. For all
that is great in man comes through
work and civilization is its product.
San Antonio affords ample opportuni-
ties in almost any line of business.
The city is thoroughly cosmopolitan.
Here is to be found the negro, Next
can, Spaniard, Italian, French, Irish,
German, English, the American and
others; each contributing to form the
nucleus of its population. 1t is said
that it is instinctively in the Teutonic
race to spread over and plant them
selves firmly in a new country; to TIL
