BEFORE leaving n : place I mast pea dneortwolfttle 

 incidents, ami perhaps moralise a little on one or 

 both of them. Traveling us much as I do I cannot afford 

 to stop at. high-priced hotels, but usually seek some quiet 

 boarding-house, kspt by a good, motherly old lady, usually 

 a widow with one or two pretty daughters, or some re- 

 tired, talkative old gentleman. Such places nearly al- 

 ways afford me excellent accommodations, and at much 

 lower rates than the hotels. To find such, when I stop at 

 a strange place I leave my valise and other plunder with 

 the railroad agent at the depot and go out prospecting. 

 I arrived at Forth Worth at 4 P.M., but felt so eager to 

 examine the rocks and artesian wells that t broke for them 

 at once, and became so engaged that the boarding-house 

 was forgotten until dark. It was then too late to look 

 about much. Procuring my valise at the depot 1 stopped 

 soon at a tolerably appearing place called the United 

 States Motel. On entering it I did not fancy the looks of 

 things, but concluded to try it at least till morning. The 

 men in the office, gathered around a stove, seemed 

 the roughest sort of railroad laborers ; took supper, which 

 was tolerable enough, and called for a room. Liked the 

 appearance of things in this room hardly better than what 

 1 sawiu the office ; still I went to bed on a shuck maltrass 

 with shuck pillows, which rattled at a great rate when- 

 ever I moved. There was nothing else in the room, not 

 even a chair. 1 cursed the barbarous stopping-place, 

 and determined to shake its dust off my feet as soon as I 

 could. After breakfast, which was a tolerable one, I 

 walked out_to reconuoiter, Soon found a nice looking 



aeirt, though it appeared not quite finished. En 

 taring it and inquiring the price of board and lodging, 

 was fold it was $1 a day. Everything I saw pleased me 

 very well, and I was still more pleased when the rich 

 tones of a piano fell on my ears from a room adjoining 

 the office. But I would not decide to stay until! saw 

 what sort of room they would give me. Was shown one. 

 It was nicely carpeted', had a beautiful little bed, a table 

 to write on, nice washstand, bowl and pitcher, and sev- 

 eral clean towels. 



My new place has pleased me more and more. It IS 

 really a delightful place. 



T have before spoken of the complete blending of the 

 Northern and Southern element in Texas. They live so 

 closely together here, that you cannot at all tell which is 

 which. There are all sorts of close relations existing be- 

 tween them. To-day I fonnd a one-armed Confederate 

 soldier and a one-legged Yankee soldier in the saloon 

 business together, and both got shot in the same battle. 

 .They are flourishing. The old soldiers on both sides liv- 

 ing hereabout [go there to grow merry together. It is 

 rich to hear them fighting over their old battles again. 

 1 took part in ono of these pleasant engagements, and 

 drank more beer than was necessary ; still, I obtained no 

 inconvenience from it, save a little fullness about the 

 stomach. It is a great deal more pleasant, Mr. Editor, to 

 light battles with beer than with cannon balls and bullets. 

 Have tried both ways thoroughly, and speak pa; catlwdra. 



This complete blending of the Yankee and Southerner 

 in Texas is a very pleasing thing. They seem to like one 

 another all the better for once having" tried so hard to 

 blow one, another's heads off. The stubbornness with 

 which each side stood the blowing off of heads seems to 

 have begotten a mutual respect, which is readily turned 

 into friendship. Ho complete is this melting together in

(hey will do if some way is not, found to choke oil the 

 politicians on both sides'— the Texans will refuse to light 

 for either side, but will draw off to themselves, obbli 

 tip "Mexico and erect a great Southwestern republic. 

 Some may think that the large Northern element m 

 - i lci lasing) would operate to hold Texas to 



the Union la case of another sectional war. But there 

 is not a bit of probability that this would be so. The 

 Northern man who settles in Texas soon becomes thor- 

 oughly Texan. When he contemplates the grandeur of 

 his beautiful State, and its vast capabilities, "he is tilled 

 with a remarkable State pride. He becomes more thor- 

 oughly Texan than the old Texans themselves. 8b Car 

 from trying to hold Texas, in the emergency contempla- 

 ted, he would, 1 believe, be the very first to demand the 

 Lone Star, and lead an invasion of Mexico, This is the 

 conviction of my observations, and I certainly keep my 

 ears and eyes wide, open as I travel around." The only 

 way to prevent something of this sort occurring is for 

 the gentlemen of the country to combine together to 

 hang all the sectional demagogues both North aiid South, 

 or to run them entirely out of the country. The gentle- 

 men' of the country will never injure it, but the wretched 

 sectional demagogues, if let alone, will destrov it. They 

 involved the country in civil war once before, and will 

 certainly do it again if not stopped. If the gentlemen 

 fail to stop them, then I guess we will have to call 

 on Grant and the Gtesar. This seems to be the way 

 that fiie thinking mind of the South is now tending. 

 The politicians and demagogues will deny it, but I know it 

 is so. 



From this point I go East, because there is no railroad 

 to take me farther West. N. A. T.
