AN EVENTFUL HISTOKY.
Tho Story of tlio Alamo In San Antonio,
In 1730, 13 families, representing the
noblest blooi of Spain, cnilgrntod from
tlio Canary Islands to San Antonio,
They camo under tbo protection ol tho
Viceroy of Mexico, nnd added largely
to tho vigor and strength of tho Colony.
Samo ol tko most refined people in this
city to-day traco their lineago directly
to tho last nomod emigrants. After tho
new accession to tho Colony, tho namo
of San Antonio gavo way to that ol
Villa do San Fernando, in compliment
to to tho King of Spain. This now title
to tho settlement was retained half a
century, and during thnt period Texas
booamo a soporato province, with tho
villa for its capital, being tributary to
tho Stato of Coahttila. Iu thoso years
quito a numbor of tho missions iu tho
provionoo woro united with othors or
given up on account of tho groat ex
ponso involved in tholr maintenance
That of San Antonio do Valoro, built
on tho Rio Grando in 1703, was con
solidated with tbo mission nt this point
in 1718 and tho old namo resumed iu
1781 Tbo namo Bozar was then used,
and is to-day applied to tho county in
which San Antonio is located. After
its removal to this point, tho Valero
Mission had soveral locations, but it
finally became tho "Church of tho
Alamo," tho first stono of that otructure
being laid May 8, 1745. Tho plaza up
on which this odlGco was erected was
surrounded with cottonwood (alamo)
trees, and from that clrcumstanco tho
namo was dorlvod. This church was
secularized in 1781, and to day is
used by a largo mercantile firm
for tho storago of goods. Tho
Unitod States does not, wo believe,
contain anothorstructuro around whoso
walls cluslor such daring and despcrato
warlike associations vb cling about tho
Alamo, whoso very stones seem to tell
tbo heavens of tho fearful work ol
blood and enrnago which they have
witnessed. For nearly a contury tho
stronghold of tho Church militant was
tho theatro of many a sanguinary strife,
and again and again what is now tho
pcacelul valloy ol tho San Antonio
River was drenched in tho blood of tue
cessivo hosts fighting with savago and
civilized fury for tho possjsslon of the
Alamo. But it was tho attack of the
Mexican Goneral Santa Ana which
made' this fortress as immortal as the
Pass of Thermopylae In tho Alamo
wore 144 Texan patriots, whllo Santa
Ana bad 4,000 troops, and tho flower of
tbo Mexican army, uoionoi uenunm
went out from among tho little band
to seek rclntorcomcnts, and when un
successful, with certain death staring
him in tho faco, ho went back to his
comrades "heroically as Regulus re
turned to Carthago." Tho attack bo
gan, and lor ton days tho Mexican com
mander kept up his cannonado and ro
peatedly advanced to tho walls, only to
bo ropulscd each timo with torriblo
slaughter. Three days lator, tit mid
night, tho final assault was made, tho
walls at length bolng scaled nnd the
heroic defenders, fighting inch by inch,
till the list ono fell dead. When tho
Alcalde of San Antonio was summoned
by Santa Ana to tho Alamo, bo found,
on tho wall, Travis, with a ball in his
head; Evans shot just as, with match in
hand, ho was going to blow up tho
maerazino: Bowio horriblv slaughtered
In his slok bed, and David Crockett
dead, with tho bodies of his foes heaped
tip around htm.
Teasels.
Tho toasols which aroused in woolen
mills for tho purpose of raising tho fib
or out of tho yarn when tho oloth has
loft tho loom aro a natural product, and
not an' artificial ono as thoso ttnac
quaintod with woolon manufacture
might bo led to Eupposo, and though
wiro cards havo ropoatcdly been tried
for this purpose, thoso teasels are still
holding tholr place as the only suitable
material for effectually raising tho nap
without any unduo dnmago to the
fiber.
A largo amount of teasels aro grown
in Bolglum. They aro sown in spring.
In August or September thoy are trans
planted, and twelve months after this
tho first crop is gathorod, Tho heads
must bo gathered beforo all tho flowers
havo bloomed, elso tbo points aro dried
too much and lose thoir elasticity. The
o'der and drier onos aro always pre
ferred to tho fresh ones.
This plant is found growing wild in
Mid lie Europo, but is then useless for
manufacturers beoauso in that stato the
points aro not bent. In England the
cn'tivated plane is grown chiefly in
Yorkshiro. Russia also ralsos a good
crop in Poland and tho Crimoa.
Tho heads, after having boon cut of!
tho plant, generally passes at onco into
tho hands of tbo dealers. Tho lattur,
in Franco, travol in July about tho dis
tricts mentioned ubovo, and buy the
crops iu tho field, tho price averaging
from 25s to COs por owt. Tho dealer
then sorts tho tomels, taking out thoso
which aro crooked, too thick, or worm
eaton; ho removes tho husks, outs tho
stems to ono uniform length, ra.igcs
them Into first and second qualities, dl
vldcs theso again Into cightorton sorts,
according to tholr length, and packs
tliQiu into largo casks, and soils them
nt so much per 1.0C0: a cask of tho
smallest slzo holding as many as 150,-
000, whllo ono of tho largor sizes only
contains 10,000, but all wolgh four cwt
In Russia thoy aro sold by tho cask, in
othor parts of Europo by woigbt.
As tho torisol Is n cultivated produc
Hon of tho thlstlo plant, it follows that
its valuo for manufactutiug purposes is
onhancod by caroful cultivation. Tlio
hooks, which aro small bent leaflets of
tho flower, aro gonornlly sot vertically
in transposed rows.though in tho French
in tho form of a spiral round tho con
trnl cono, and closer nt tho bottom than
tho top. This leaflet has a strong rib at
Its back which is both stiff nnd elastic;
tho sides form, so to speak, wings,
which nro attached to tho sof tor central
coro, and thus form an elastic spring
which onnbles tho hook to spring back
in work; each hook also leans against
its predecessor, so that when tho forco
which pulls it is too strong, it turns a
Itttlo sideways, nnd thus lets tho resist
auco slip off. This Is ono of tho prin
cipal qualities of tho natural teasel, and
has novor boon reproduced In artificial
imitations. In tho well grown toasols
tho hooks aro situated horizontally, nud
vertically to tho spindle, whllo in tho
Inferior ones thoy Inolino as much as 10
dogrcos.
Tho French toasels nro pretty regular,
tho hook is horizontal, stronger, and
long r than others, and drlos better
without losing i(s elasticity; tho Gor
man kind is less regular or strong, but
on that account 13 often proforrcd for
fluo qualities of cloth, which requires
nioro caroful treatment. Dampness is
injurious to nil teasels, which soon
mould and thus loso much of their olas
tlcity.
