THE OLEANDER CITY. | Notes From A. Times Far-Off | Correspondent on the Gulf. | From St. Joseph to acremenieasis Beautifal Indian Territory. | Special Correspondent Butler Times, Gay ston, TFXAS, May 14, ’S2. | Writing from this far-off spot feel impressed with the great dis-| tance that intervenes between where these notes are jungled together and | the place where they will first ap- pear tothe world in print, as well as the somewhat wondertul difference | in the lay vf the country, the sur-) roundings and the people who make | this their earthly abiding place. i The Missouri Editorial excursion | party arrived in this city at 6 o’clock | this morning after a journey of | two days and a half from St. Joseph to Galveston. The party numbers about one hundred and twenty-five persons, and a jollier crowd never crossed the Lone Star State. Since my letter to the Times trom | Parsons, Kansas, I have seen and | trayeled through a country that has, perhaps, no superior on the cont nent, and though environed on either side by thickly populated and pros- | perous States, its rich-soil is yet ex | empt from the plowshare of the white man, and its inhabitants re- main in a state of semi-civilization. The reader will perceive at once | that I allude to the Indian ‘Verritory. | The M. K & T. division of the ; Missouri Pacific railway system runs through the most beautiful part of | this truly magnificent country. | Leaying Parsons, Kansas, it is but a very short run till the. line dividing the State of Kansas from the Terri- tory-is reached; and it is a very easy matter to discover the moment the line is crossed, from the tact that improved farms, and comfortable farm houses extend to the ‘very last foot of Kansas territory. Once over the line anda wide waste of prairie land, interpersed with beau- tiful timbered streams and _ rivers, | is all the eye has to look upor.. Barren as this country is of any} sign of habitation, except it be now and then an-acre of ground fenced, with a log hut ten by twelve located _ in one corner, it is still lovely; the | admirer of nature,.even though he be a dull one, finds here something peculiarly attractive and infatuating. No wonder that men ot Capt. Payne’s progressive spirit find in the Indian Territory an alluring attrac- tion. But enough of this sort, suf- fice it to say that the policy of ex- cluding the pale faced man ot civil- ization from settling upon and tilling the productive soil ot this great coun- try, is an outrage and a fraud. Leaving Parsons a little before noon Friday, after having recovered sufficiently from the wreck the night before, our train was till midnight getting to Dennison. Day-break Saturday morning found us at Min- eola the junction of the M. _K. & ‘I’. with the Texas Pacific, where our | party breakfasted. Nearly the whole of this line of road from the northern edge to within a short dis- tance of Houston, is though a tim- timbered country, principally pine, and very light soil. As a conse-} quence very limited improvements | _ are noticeable. Mineola, Troupe | and Palestine are the only towns _ worthy of mention passed through -between Dennison and Houston. | - ‘The two former haye a population - of fifteen hundred or two thousand _ Souls, while the lattter, by virtue of the machine shops ‘and railroad ~ headquarters located there, claims a | population of five thousand. __ Asstated in the outset Galveston _ was reached at 6 o’clock this morn- ing. Gur party was met at the de- pot by the committee appointed on the part of the city to receive us, | and at once assigned comfortable ; quarters. “~~ : H Galveston is a city ot 25.000 peo- | | ple or thereabouts, and trom the : Spontaneous growth of the beautiful | | and highly prized Oleander shrub} ~ in almost every yard in the place, is; } very properly named the ‘Oleander ; ! i i t j } i t City.”” The streets are laid off in! meven manner and are noted for. ' garden or park. | while in another part ot the city the | | tional exercises like those of our own } ' cathedral, a venerable structure, the | i tem. their great width and cleanness. As all who are acquainted with geography know, the citv is built ! A Mexican railroad train has been attacked by Indians. The Quincy Board of trade visited upon an island, thirty miles long by} Hannibal yesterday on the govern- five in width. The soil issandy and unpréductive, excepting in so far as | shrubbery may be termed a product. | Of this, the city is litterally filled, every resident lot or yard having the appearance. seemingly, of a flower ment steamer Coal Bluff. Kalakaua attributes the prosperity of his kingdom to the reciprocity | treaty with the United States- it isa reasonable police regulation altogether of a Southern kind and to prohibit the sale of lardine. | | bears little or no resemblance to that | | grown in MisSouri and further North. | One striking feature in the residences | of this city is tne fact that all, with perhaps one or two exceptions, are i This, I am told, | is done upon the hypothesis that | frame buildings. | frame buildings are more healthy | | in a climate | than brick or stone | where there is considerable rain fall | and cool nights. causing any other than wooden buildings to gather dampness. So far as my observation has been given limit, I cannot say the people here have a very healthy color in their faces or have a robust appear- ance; neither is beauty a promi- | i of either rich and nent characteristic sex. Their dress, however, is tasty, and patterns largely in style as | pets e | Stewartsville, Mo., well as texture atter that of our more Northern and Western cities. They appear tobe refined m manners, edu- cated and enterprising, and are ex- ceedingly neat about their homes. There are more Germans here than I expected to find, and fewer of the Spanish and Mexican type. HOW SUNDAY IS OBSERVED. This being the Sabbath day, has given us Missourians an opportunity to see how other people do on Sun- day. All kinds ot business is sus- pended during the forenoon and up to 3,0r 40’clock in the afternoon, when the smaller.shops are opened to the public. A large trame struc- ture called the pavillion has recently | been erected down on the beach and in this place from five hundred | to one thousand people congregate | to spend the Sunday afternoons | drinking beer and lemonade, and driving in carriages along the beach; young men ofthe rougher class while away the hours running foot races and playing base ball. The more religious element have their devo- country. There are many fine church edifices nere, among which . the | interior of which a portion of our | party, including your correspondent, viewed this afternoon, is the largest. | FUTURE PROGRAMME. It is the programme of our party to remain in this city til! Tuesday , morning, theace we will go to Hous- ton, where a reception wil be given | Betty and the baby, | $3,542 has. been -paid tc Sergt. John W. Dorsey appeared in | court yesterday and entered a plea | of not guilty in the star-route cases. Dr. H. H. Hubbard, who was surgeon-general in the confederate bad : - army, died Monday in San Francisco.

Alfred Tackson, colored, was ap- pointed as a letter carrier at Toronto, whereupon all the other carriers struck. The postal authorities are deliberating what to do. A fertilizer factory belonging to the St. Louis Beef Canning company, and situated near the National Stock yards, burned down Tuesday eve- ning. The loss was about $75,000. It turns out that the colored man found dead onthe railroad track near Collinsvilte was put there by | tour | tramps who had murdered him. The scoundrels robbed another man and have been captured. < A cargo of Chinese in San Fran- | cisco harbor have rebelled against the quarantine regulations, and it is_re-, ported that a boat upset on the way the excursiomsts. From Houstun we will go Tuesday afternoon and night toSan Antonio, where we will likely remain one day and night or two days. From that point the homeward march will be commenced by way of St. Louis, reaching our several homes Saturday night or Sun- day morning. C Y. Mc.

At Minneapolis a lot of students of the State university were out on a spree and some of the professors went after them. <A student and a protessor kad a shooting-match, in which the former came off second best with a bullet through his thigh. We have received a circular from Mr. W. E.
