of cattle, aro to day cultivated farms, dot

numerous population, cluelly composed of

dreams, to awake next morning and look,
ing out upon the deep, there to behold a
speck in tho distance liko a "mirage," or
a "queen upon her throne of waters"
such is Galveston, the island town, the
gem of the gulf from the sea.
The approach by land h equally as
gran. I and unique. From Austin to with
in a few miles of the city, thu country is
as tint us a pancake, aud its oceau-llko sur
face dotted with thousands of cattle. Then
we cross tho "long bridge," which spans
the upper end of the bay -ami from this
we see the "island city" rising above tho
blue water of the gulf. The shipping iu
the harbor, the towering masts, spars and
smoke stacks, open the scene ou tho left;
w hile tho numerous church steeples, high
buildings and shade tries complete tho
picture on tho right. The Improvements
and construction of public, private and
business buildings has been astonishing,
even to the natives, and irnw the city 'may
be considered as somewhat metropolitan.
Galveston lleacli is perhaps ono of tho
grainiest on the American continent. It
has all the advantages of Coney Island,
the t-urf ot Cape May or Long Iiranch,
and the life aud nppearanc of Atlantic
City. The beach i over one hundred feet
wide, of hard white sand, and extends the
entire circumference of the island, which is
a distance of about thirty miles. Grand
hotels nnd bathing houses are numerous
atd the "turn out" on Sunday afternoon,
jor any aberuoon,, are true y astonishing
for such a place as "tho Islaud city."'
Many of tho s'.reets of Galveston nre
royal in width, cross each other at right
anklet, and extend in a direct line from
nr end of li e island to the other. Two
n veil lies, liath and and Iiroadway, are

Thompson, member of congtcia from Ken
tucky, shot Walter Davis in the tars on
the Cincinnati Southern railroad, near
Harrousbtirg, as he was stepping from thu
smoking cur into another. The ball went
through Davis's head, producing instant
ik a'.h. They had met in a passenger car,
and Thompsou immediately began an as.
sault on Davis, who tried to escape. As
he got ou the platform, Thompson drew
his revolver, and, saying, " You'll not take
my wife to Cincinnati again,'' fired, and
D ivis fell dead. Davis was a grocer, and

Thompson's wile, it appears, who had

and wine "to build her up," contracted u
strong toalu for intoxicating drinks. Last
fall she had accompanied her husband on
his way to Washington as far a Cincin

posed, iu charge of a friend, to return
home the same evening. Davis, an old
friend and acquaintance of the family,
however, met her at the hotel and persua
ded her to remain over night, taking her
to tho theatre, plying her with liquor until
she wa " blind drunk," then taking her to
his room iu thu hotel and debauching her,
finally throwing her out in the hall, to be
licked up by the hotel servants in the
nig'it, In which condition she was found!
by her Irietids, who cared for her after tha
and uext morning sent her home. The
'escapade" ot Davis in the matter was
kepi a secret until a week or two ago,
when an employte of the hotel related the
