General news,
. Awav out on the Texas fron
tier, and on llio eastern margin
of that vast desert expanse,
the Llano Estaeado, sixty
miles north of the little Uavu
of Graham, there settled about
u year ago a colony from Ore-1
u;on consisting ol nine families,
.he locality was distant from
market, and lumber scarcely to
be had. The settlers, therfeore,
as the cold northers of winter
were "approaching, determined
to .build habitations under
ground. They selected a hill,
in whose sides they excavated
rooms, halls, kitchens and
sleeping apartments, not un
like the ancient dwellers in
the rocks of Judea. A chim
ney was formed by running
a stovepipe up through the
hill to the surface. The
dwellings are perfectly dry and
warm in the coldest and most
freezing: norther. The little
city of caves has been named
Oregon Chy, and will be the
capital of Baylor county,
Washington, May 25. The
following are the postal chang
es on the Pacific coast for the
past week: Established Cross

Recently, a very modest young Bos
ton lady, who wanted a pair of artcr.,
addressed the shopman thus: "It is my
desire to obtain a pair of circular elas
tic appendagos; capable of b?,inij con
tracted or pxpnndcd by means of oscil
lating burnished steel appliances that
.sparkle like particles of gold leaf sot
with Alaska diamonds, and which are
utilized for retaining in proper position
the habiliments of the lower extromi
ties, which innate delicacy forbids me
to mention."
