 The Mexican post rider was carrying
 his mail in a pair of saddle bags on
 which was printed the name William Travis Baird" who commanded the Alamo, and who, with one hundred and xty-eight men, including Bowie and Crockett and many of the bravest men
 in Texas, were murdered by the Mexi-
 cans. There was an effort made on the part of the Texans to kill the mail rider,
 but Houston prevented this. As soon as he learned that Santa
 Anna had divided up his army he de- ternined to attack that part of the
 army which, under Santa Anna, after
 having burned Harrisburg, had
 marched away few miles and lay en-
 canped at San Jacinto. Santa Anna, fearing lest he was to be attacked, had ordered General Cos, his brother-in-law,
 who commanded the rear-guard, to bring up his men, so that Santa Anna had about thousand men, while Hous- ton had about fourteen hundred.
 Houston, in his narratives, stated that
 he had only few over seven hundred,
 but Colonel Price states that Houston
 undesestimated his force to make the victory appear the greater.
 we were stationed about half mile
 away from the Mexican army" says Colonel Price. "They had fortified themselves at San Jacinto, and thought they were safe from attack.
 "On the afternoon of April 20, 1886,
 Houston called his men out and told them that he was ready to attack the
 Mexicans and bade us remember the Alamo. At half-past two o'clock, while the
 Mexicans were taking their afternoon siesta, we were ordered to charge. We had two iron six-pounders, which the Texans had dubbed the Irwin Sisters and the Mexicans had one brass nine- pounder. The first shot of the battle
 was fired by one of our cannon. The second shot from the Twin Sisters ex-
 ploded the powder chest of the Mexi- cans and they were unable to use their cannon at all during the battle. We charged, and the Mexicans, awakening from their sleep, stood ready to receive us.
 "The Mexican troops fired with their
 guns at their hips, and invariably fired too high In 8 few minutes we were among the Mexicans, and in half an hour the battle, after waging for time in hand-to-hand conflict, was over Eight hundred Mexicans lay on the field of battle, and eight hundred more had surrendered.

 New Haven, Aug. 29, 1902.
 MT. Chairman and Members of the Building Committee or Buildings and Building Lines-As I feel the import ance of the subject before you wish to be allowed to submit my views in writ ing for your consideration, but first al- low me to refer to misrepresentations by the papers of my reasons for the petition. It was not to ask you for spe- cial vote to protect my property or to antagonize neighbors, but for the gen. eral good of the city.
 My attentionswas called a few weeks ago to the matter by finding that the plans for contemplated building call ed for extending it to the extreme street line instead of four. feet back, as the

 State, George, York and Grove streets, except that the said four feet may be used for protected cellar stores or areas or for platform and slips to first floor and alsoafor shpW windows to stores, extensions, flags and cornices about the shore, but the nest he makes of them is of a different shape from that fashioned by his forktailed fellow ma- son. It is fastened to a cliff or beneath : the caves of a barn, and is shaped like a pocket with round hole for an en- trance. I watched a small colony of these birds building last spring, and they made several serious mistakes. No sooner had they their building ma terial dried than down fell the little dwellings to the ground. I learned that the sticky mud they had obtained in other years had been removed by work men and replaced with sandy mud, which would hold together only as long as'it was wet. The birds evidently did not know the difference, and, after the first disaster, they went on building as confidently as ever. The little houses fell down again, but the persevering swallows kept at it until August, and finally left without being able to com plete a single nest. The colony was working on the side of barn, and it was plainly evident that the swallows had very small bumps of locality, for certain birds would often fail to find the nest they were working on, and would gegin a second and even third, and then work on all three indiscriminately.
 Smaller than any of these, is the lit- tie bank swallow, which we may distin- guish from his fellows by the brownish gray band on his breast. He makes his nest in a holesin a sand bank, often near the water. Usually he excavates the hole himself, but occasionally he uses the deserted burrow of kingfsher. Rarely, bank swallows build in pairs, but usually in colonies, sometimes made up of enormous numbers.

found, but three days later three young men, while walking in the outskirts of the camp found a man creeping through the grass. They halted him, and he fell at their feet and kissed them. He had no insignia of office, but he was taken before Houston, and as he reached the American general he fell on his knees, saying:
 T am Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the great Spanish Napoleon. I am your prisoner of war and claim your clemency. The brave are always gene- rous.'
 Houston asked himl what he wished done with his read soldiers, but the Mexican general, shrugging his shoul- ders, replied: 5s
 They are dead. Let them stay where they are.' And the dead Mexicans were allowed to remain there and were never buried. s4z.e s .ffsz9s
 ''It often has been said that Santa Anna had only one leg at the battle of San Jacinto, but that is false. He had two as good legs as ever saw, and he lost his leg some time after this battle.
 After the battle of San Jacinto all of the things captured from the Mexicans were sold. Santa Anna's saddle sold for three hundred and twenty-five dol- lars, and good Mexican ponchos sold for sixty dollars apiece.--Atlanta Journal.
