Large Crowds on the Streets—Inci
dent*.
Yesterday was, considering the in
clement weather, one of the liveliest
days in business circles we have had
this season. All the merchants seemed
thriving, and the very best evidence
of a good trade is that they were gener-
m nsrn.tr..
At City Light GwaSdi’ Armory To-Night.
The boys worked hard yesterday, try
ing to complete arrangements for open
ing the Festival, hut the weather was
so bad there and was so much Christ
mas in the bones of every one that the
trip could not be made. They worked
until late last night and now have
ally in excellent humor. Broad street j everything in shape and will com-
was crowded with country and city menee to-night.

Boat llaiftlN
Had bettor have the oysters which
they sell at the wharf duly consigned
on the manifest, or they xvill he very
apt to get in trouble. Somebody will
certainly he caught before another
Christmas comes, if the underhand
work is not stopped, and an extreme
penalty will be inflicted.
A Beautiful Buhl
We mean the one which Mr. H. C.
McKee has just received on special or
der for Gov. Smith. It is one of the
beat ’gotten up, most unique, vehicles
that we have seen this season. It is
styled tlie panelj phseten, and lias a
shifting top. If any one desires some
thing that is .substantial, stylish or
elegant, just let him call on Mr. McKee.
Those Expecting
Packages through the Express Office,
and who do not receive them, we would
advise to call at said office, as the agent
and clerks do not know where to de
liver to everyone. During Christmas
there are many undelivered packages
fora day or two at least. Call on Mr.
Matt O’Brien and lie will wait upon
you in a stylo that surpasses the very
essence of courtesv.
Christmas, making the little ones’ eyes
sparkle with delight at the pretty toys,
etc., in the show windows; raising
them on tip-toe of expectancy as each
store was passed, until they at last
called a halt and began the selections.
Then it was pleasing to listen to their
shouts of delight as some attractive toy
or doll was shown by the shop-keeper.
Now and then you would see some
roughly dressed farmer enter one of
these establishments and purchase
something for his little ones, hut watch
as he approaches the wagon and care
fully stores away tlie treasures for
them, a happy smile overspeads his
countenance, caused by thoughts of
what joy they wj 11 bring to the reefp-
ient. Then we think it is truly better
to give than receive, for beneath that
rough exterior a tender heart was heat
ing.
At night there were several lion-fires
on Broad street, Randolph and Craw
ford. The popping of lire crackers
seemed to he the only prominent fea
ture in tlie programme. Some little
excitement was occasioned by some
one endeavoring to raise an alarm of
fire, hut this was soon hushed and all
was again serene. There was less dem
onstration, in the way of fire works,
than we have ever seen, and the peo
ple are fast falling into the Northern
way of observing Christmas, that of
making tlie children happy and work
on that as other days.
Rain, heavy and continued early in
the evening put an end to the fun.
Our Farriers' Address.
To-day our carriers present thei r annu
al address to our readers. The typo
graphical execution is in Mr. Gilbert’s
best style, and we think very hand
some. The lines speak for themselves.
Now, a word for the boys. They pay
for the annual address. What they de
rive from it is their own. With what
ever praise or blame you may have for
the paper, tlie carriers have nothing to
do. They have brought the journal to
your homes in all sorts of weather.
They have given you promptly the
town news, the fullest telegraphic and
general news of any publication you
have had in Columbus. They give you
something this morning as a quid pro
quo, outside altogether of the - proprie
tors’ line. It is their get up. They sim
ply ask those they have served for twelve
months for a reminder for the coming
year, and as you quaff your nog or
breathe the morning prayer the simple
reminder is, remember tlie Carrier Boy
with something more substantial than
words of cheer. He may not call on
you when he presents your paper. He
leaves you that long before you arise.
With your morning paper lie gives the
welcome, and Christinas gift. When
you are awake thoroughly and enable
to partake, or have done so, of the
beatitudes of life lie brings liis “Christ
mas Carol,’’ and expects each to res
pond. He asks no alms. He gives an
equivalent. If the subscriber or bor
rower would make a little heart (a big
soul only confined by years), happy,
remember the carrier boy, and ere you
give anything remember to put your
self in his place, and do to him as he
would to you were he you and you the
carrier bov.
Help Out n Good Cause.
Let every one open his or her heart
and contribute something, if it be hut a
nickel, to the Christmas tree of the
“Northern Liberties” Sunday School,
from which are to he plucked the gifts
on Wednesday night. Most of the chil
dren who attend this school, we are in
formed, are those of unwealthy or poor
parents, and their hearts should he
cheered at least once a year. Call on
Mr. J. Albert Kirven, on Broad street,
and donate a trifle for the cause.
Muuday School Christina* Festival*.
’I'lie Baptist school made an offering
to the church on Sunday which
amounted to sixty-two dollars. This
was good considering the inclement
weather.
Christmas trees, with other appro
priate and interesting services, will
occur to-niglit at tlie following church
es : St. Luke, St. Paul, Broad Street,
Trinity (Browneville). Presbyterian
festival Thursday evening.
Northern Liberties school Wednes
day evening.
A Table or Comfort. Convenience and
Sleety.
The Western Union Telegraph office
received a very handsome black walnut
table on yesterday. It is called a “quar
tette table,” and lias four places or sep
arations for the operators, which are
divided by panes of thick glass. The
glass so obstructs the sound that an op
erator at one of the keys cannot hear
any of the others. The old tables are
to be removed and the new one placed
in the centre of the office. The office
will shortly undergo a series of reno
vation and painting, after which it will
be one of the handsomest in the city.
Rah for tlie lightning hoys.
Ferwuli.
Mr. George Donglas. special insur
ance agent, arrived in the city yester
day. He’s just in time to make his
little boy enjoy Christmas.
Mr. F. S. Grimes, formerly of this
place, but now of Pensacola, Florida,
is in the city.
Mr. Wm. Mundav leaves to-day for
bexington, Ky., and will return in a
few days with one hundred head of
ninles and horses.
< apt. S. J. Whitesides arrived in the
city yesterday from Savannah. He is
to spend Christmas, where he is ever
welcomed l>v his many friends.
Come One, Come All,
And come at once, to he in time to se
cure a good suit of holiday apparel at
Thomas & Prescott’s fashionable empo
rium, where may be found at all times
one of the largest, most varied and
cheapest stocks of gent's and boys’
clothing and underwear to be found in
Georgia, at prices cheaper than ever
known. There, too, you will find a
splendid line of hats at figures which
defy competition. If you would put
on a good appearance, and at the same
time secure goods which are cheap and
serviceable, call on Thomas & Prescott.
Fhurehe* Sunday.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather the attendance at the churches
was very small and in some of them we
estimate as our counting men were at
home reading; we suppose, anyhow they
did not attend.
St. Paul—One hundred and nineteen
in the morning. No service at night.
The service was conducted by Rev. J.
O. Branch, who preached an excellent
sermon. We cant help hut compliment
the choir on their singing, which was
par excellence. This choir is composed
of some of our best singers, who prac
tice regularly, hence their success.
Baptist—One hundred and thirty in
the morning and about sixty at night.
St. Luke—One hundred in the morn
ing and fifty-five at night.
Presbyterian—One hundred and ten
in the morning.
Broad Street Mehodist—Ninety-five
in the morning.
We have written the last report for
1877 and we trust that in ’78 the church
people will exert themselves to fill the
large number of vacant seats. We claim
that we induced during the year many
church members to attend through a
mere feeling of pride. They should he
the exemplars or let the world know
wliat they are.
Mayor'* Court.
Abe Bailey, colore#, charged with be-
* n K drunk and disorderly, was fined

invite friends to-day to partake of the
celebrated Artillery Punch—“grape

Turkey Lunch, free for Christmas.
The Scuppemong Wines at 75 cents
per quart are superior for family use.
Christina* “Pounding,"
Many of the members of the First
Baptist Church met at the residence of
Mr. A. Prescott last night with various
substantial presents for Rev. A. B.
Campbell, their pastor. They marched
to his residence and agreeably surprised
him with their loads of presents. Mr.
Campbell is one of our best orators, and
is continually at work in his vineyard.
We know of no pastor that is more be
loved by not only his church, but the
entire community,than this gentleman.
Opelika Tine*.
B. H. Kieser, editor Opelika Times,
gave us a call yesterday, The Times is
a spicy paper. In our columns will be
found an advertisement which we call
attention to, and hope our people will
work for Alabama trade, and there is
no better way than through the Times.
Gilbert * Thernton.
These gentlemen have a fine line of
goods suitable to the holiday trade.
Our readers should call and examine
their stock. Such gifts as you can pur
chase from them will be well received
and do good service.
New I* the Time,
To call on Mrs. Stevenson at the up
town Bakery', who has the largest and
and cheapest assortment of Toys, Con
fectionery, Fruits, Cakes, Ac., in the
city. Be sure to call on her if you want
bargains.
Mr. F. W. Loudenbar, a lot of segars
Lieut. C. B. Grimes, two elegant steel
engravings in fine frames.
Mrs. E. A. Shepherd,-an ornamental
cake.
Miss Katie Faber, fancy match case.
Miss Ida Joseph, a worked motto in
frame.
Toby Newman appeared late with a
beautiful ornamented cake.
Other contributions were made hut
we failed to get the names.
The gift enterprise appears to he a
favorite. Nearly 200 tickets have al
ready been sold.
To-night there Will he raffled dolls,
doll houses, some beautiful fisli-scale
work, and several other nice tilings.
There will he no better place to enter
tain tlie young, and it is hoped that
papa and mama will lie on hand with
all the little ones. Some good instru
mental and vocal music will enliven
the affair.
We forget to mention the restaurant,
presided over by Lieuts. Clapp and
Bnrrus, assisted by some ladies. A
good, square meal, a plate of oysters or
a lunch can be had at low rates. A por
tion of the hall has been enclosed with
a curtain to allow the eaters to enjoy
their meals without interruption.
An Overwhelming Onslaught
Was made on the Toy Department of J.
M. Layfield on yesterday, and the way
the money changed hands was a caution
to misers. But we are iiapry to say
Jim’s stock is am^le to meet all de
mand, even if the avalanche of buyers
continues for ten days. Polite and at
tentive clerks wait promptly on all who
call, and none of the children will be
overlooked. So come along onq and all,
and secure your toys at cheap prices, as
well as all descriptions of Confection
ery, Cakes, Fruits, &c. This is your
best chance.
Mrs. Bussey.
This lady, who has recently opened a
superb Millinery establishment on west
side of Broad street, next to Spear’s
jewelry store, lias received during the
past few days a superb line of Ladies’
Curls, Ladies’ Linen and Silk Sets in
fancy boxes, beautiful line of hows and
ties, all kinds of flowers for weddings
and parties, and numerous other goods
suitable to the season. She has in her
show windows one of the handsomest
dolls in the city, which if not sold be
fore to-morrow will he raffled.
Be sure to call on this lady for your
holiday ornaments. She has them
beautiful and cheap.
Firework* Last Night.
The following is an ordinance passed
by City Council:
“Tlie setting off of any Sky Rockets,
Roman Candles, large Fire Crackers or
Torpedoes, or Baloons, at any places
within the corporate limits of the city,
except north of Franklin street, and
south of Thomas street, is hereby pro
hibited during the Christmas Holidays,
under penalty of fine or imprisonment,
at the discretion of the Mayor; and the
Police are specially instructed to en
force this prohibition.”
This ordinance was run over and
trampled under foot last night, and al
though it was done for fun and noth
ing more, everyone who violated the
same, if his name can he ascertained,
should be reported to the Mayor. We
understand that he (the Mayor) gave
orders last night after the ordinance had
been violated, that the nuisance and
very disagreeable “fun” should be stop
ped. Accordingly, we expect to
see a long list before tlie
Mayor at his next court. There
are officers on the police force who, we
feel certain, do not fear to do their duty,
and we trust that their rapid use of pen
cil and paper in taking down names
last night will completely quiet things
to-night. There is no denying the fact
that these loud explosions are Very dis
agreeable and dangerous, especially
when the same occurs on the sidewalks.
We heard gentlemen complain last
night that these immense crackers were
thrown in their store doors, to their
extreme annoyance. We feel assured
that this racket will not occur to-niglit
except in localities allowed by the
above ordinance. Policemen, do your
duty, and have Broad street so orderly
that ladies can pass along undisturbed,
for they complained last night.
J. X. Jonei.
Despite the hard times, people will
spend money more or less freely, and
in glancing over our Columns to see
where it may he parted with to the
best advantage, we direct special atten
tion to the Dry Goods House of J. S.
J ones, where may he found a beautiful
line of serviceable goods suitable for
holiday gifts, which will last much
longer and prove far more serviceable
than most of the trumpery which
tickles the fancy hut for the passing
moment. He has received the past
week the tenth lot of Ladies’ and
Misses’ Cloaks. These will prove a
gift of which any lady will be proud
In Dress Goods he has a brilliant va
riety, and as he makes a specialty in
this line, the ladies cannot tlo better
than to call on him for tlieir Christmas
outfits. Though lie does not make
much blow about Shoes, still he fldt.
ters himself that he has a varied
and elegant stock, and that as
he has no extra clerk hire
or rent to pay on this article, he can of
fer better inducements than those who
pay the extra taxes. But without at
tempting to enumerate all the advan
tages to be gained by trading at Jones’,
we will only add that he is one of our
most sagacious merchants, and always
wide awake to the interests of the peo
ple of our section. If you will go to
his store and spend your money during
the holidays, or any other time, you
can rely upon dealing with an honest
man, and getting the worth of yonr
funds.
THE BART'S STOCKING.
Hang up the Baby's stocking.
Be sure that you don’t forget,
The dear little dimpled darling.
She never saw Christmas yet.
But I’ve told her all about it,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I’m sure she understood me.
She looked so funny and wise!
Dear! dear! what a tiny stocking;
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as Baby’s
Away from the frost and cold;
But, then, for the Baby's Christmas
It never would do at all.
Why, Santa Claus would'nt be looking
For anything half so small!
I know what we'll do for the Baby!
I've thought of the nicest plan:
We’ll borrow a stocking from Grandma,
The longest that ever we can,
And we'll hang it up in the corner.
Just here by the chimney, so.
And we’ll write a letter to Santa,
And fasten it on to the toe!
Write: This is the Baby’s stocking,
That hangs by the chimney here;
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's j ust the blessede.it Baby!
And now, before you go.
Please fill the stocking with goodies,
From the top clear down to the toe!
Chrlilauu Carol*.
Last night, just before the hour that
Old Santa Claus is said to do his good
work, we were beautifully done up by
a Christmas carol hv the Carol Brothers.
George tooted on John Upshaw’s or
gan; Joe blowed the base drum ; Glenn
breathed the brasstuttus; Munro boned
for the party and A. L. H. commanded
in person, giving an occasional sweet-
scented note that went clean to our
hoots. The brothers, we learn, put
seventeen bar-keepers in their little
“beds. The effect on us was different.
We don’t think we will want any lied
for the balance of the year. We didn’t
feel like Mr. Poe when he wrote—
“Suddenly there came a tapping, as of
some one gently rapping,
'Tis some visitor, I muttered tapping at
my chamber door,
Only this and nothing more,”
It was something more and the more
we think about it the more we are in
clined to think that we don’t want atiy
more. No more Christmas carols for
us.

M. Joseph, the “old reliable” in dry
goods, though -young4n-years, has in
store a mammoth stock of dry grods,
comprising everything in the trade,

er was a larger, handsomer or cheaper
stock brought to the city, and never
could a lady with small purse buy so
much for her money. In this stock are
thousands of articles suitable for holi
day presents, and presents such as will
do good service and be long apprecia

“Pshaw, no ocean foam for me; it’s
mere sham,” said an impatient woman,
discussing the merits of baking pow
ders. Not thus, however, did she talk
of Dooley’s Yeast Pow’Der. The lat
ter has been found to surpass all others
in its magic leavening powers, and to
he indispensable to the well regulated
kitchen.
Dry Good* fi>r tbe People.
About this time of year a liberal turn
comes over the minds of even stingy
people, the purse strings loosen, and
out go the “spons” in every direction.
But the penurious as well as the liberal
minded like to know’ where they can
spend their money to best advantage.
In this connection we take pleasure in
recommending the old reliable house of
M. Joseph as the place where all de
scriptions of dry goods may be found
and bought at prices to astonish the na
tives. Joseph’s store is a place of beau
ty, and his stock is simply wonderful—
so large, so complete, so varied,so cheap.
It would take a long spaee to enumerate
his goods, and to appreciate it in detail
or as a whole, it must he seen and ex
amined critically. Go there by all
means and spend a portion of your
Christmas money. You’ll never regret
it. * 2t

Time and Experience
Have demonstrated the virtues of
Cristadora’s Hair Dye which has now-
been upon the market for 25 years.
The high character of the manufacturei-
was a sufficient guarantee to the public
that it w r as an eminently safe prepara
tion, and it has proved beneficial in
thousands of instances. It is instanta
neous in its action, and does not stain
the skin. It is sold universally by
druggists, and its use is becoming more
wide-spread and universal every year
Holiday.
This being Christmas, the hanks will
observe holiday as much as they can
The post and telegraphic office will take
Sunday hours, and more too. We are
going to take the whole day, and have
a Christmas dinner if it busts the office,
and the boys are going on a bush. We
will have no paper until Thursday.

San Antonio Express.}
Seguin', December 12, 1877.—The
following is an extract from a letter
written by Dr. L. P. Yandell, jr., of
Louisville, Ky., to his brother, Dr.
Yandell, of Seguin. To fully appre- 1
ciate the extract, the reader should

work through all the centuries—tlie j has just returned to his home at
monetary work of all civilized coun- Louisville, and Jiis glowing descrij*-
tries—is aj being double-headed. ~ ‘
One hand is gold, the other is silver.
If you destroy one hand, the other
must do double work. There must
be a double demand for that hand to
work. Therefore, of necessity, if
you demonetize silver, gold must per
form all the work of gold and
silver both. You know that there is
estimated now to be about $2,600,-
000,000 of coin—gold and silver—in
what we call the civilized world—
Europe and America. And there is
just about as much silver as there is
gold coin. Now, strike out of exis
tence—for that is the scheme on foot,
both in Europe and in this country—
strike out of existence silver as mon
ey, and then gold must perform all
the work of being the basis of money.
And what is the effect ? You increase
the demand of gold. You increase its
relative value. And how much do
you increase it ? That is a great ques
tion. I have read much on this sub
ject, and among the greatest writers
on this subject is Mr. Leon Faneher,
who says that if all the nations of
Europe, meaning America also,
should follow the example of Eng
land in the adoption of a single
standard, the price of gold would
go up beyond measure. Mr.
Rullet, Governor of the Bank of
France, says substantially the same,
and so does Mr. Walewski. Prof.

of existence silver as money, gold

tions as well as individuals. Now,
then, what is the effect? Let me
answer this question, and that is all I
wish to say to-night. What is the
effect of striking silver out of exis
tence in the civilized world? The
Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce of New York assumes that
there are $12,000,000,000 of indebted
ness payable in coin, including the
national/lebt, State debts, city debts,
corporate debts, railroad debts, mort
gages and individual debts, payable
?oin. Now, if you make gold one-
third more valuable, increase its pur
chasing power 33 per cent, what is
the effect on that indebtedness? It
just adds one-third to it; it adds to
the burden of debt on the American
[jeople $4,000,000,000! That is what
t does.
Why, here in this great city of
Chicago, in the fire of October, 1871,
$250,000,000 of property was destroy
ed. My fellow-citizens, you may de
stroy ten cities like Chicago, and the
destruction of poroperty will not be
equal to the loss to the American
people by the demonetization of sil
ver.
I say to the bondholders of the city
of New York, to Wall street, to the
President of the United States, to his
Secrtary of State, and even to Henry
Ward Beecher [loud laughter], who
has taken a position on this subject
behalf of the single gold
standard, that if an invading army
should enter the United States and
burn tlie city of New York, aye,
every city and every dwelling in that
great Empire State, the loss to the
American people would not be equal
to what will surely come if this de
struction of silver money is to be
come permanent in the United
States. It has not entered into the
hearts or minds of our people to con
ceive the appalling consequences in
store for us from this species of leg
islation.
A TEN SKETCH OF STEPHENS.
How the Great Commoner Appear* ton
New.paper Correspondent.
Correspondence Chicago Tribune.]
A little to the left of the main aisle
of the House, and just between the
first row of desks and the Clerk, is a
little, withered up, nervous old man.
Mounted upon a complicated pedestal
built of wheels, platforms and a back,
be bobs lii9 head or nods it in accord
or discord with the gentleman speak
ing. Rarely is bis voice heard. Who
ever passes stops to shake hands with
him and speaks a few words to him,
not that they all have anything spe
cial to say, but the green members
think it looks well from tlie galleries
to be seen in conversation with the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of
Georgia. The old man is pitifully
thin. His face is livid and cadaver
ous. His head is sunken between his
shoulders. His chest is depressed,
and his arms and lower limbs are
fearfully and wonderfully thin. But,
weak and emaciated as he looks, his
muscles are always in operation, and
he jogs backward and forward in
his wheeled-chair, or taps the
floor nervously with one foot
continually. Generally he wears
a hat—a soft, black felt—and his
many infirmities seem to excuse
this apparent breach of Congressional
etiquette, and, in fact, most every
thing he does is referred to the eccen
tricities of a man broken down in
health and rapidly approaching dis
solution. Yet this man, weak as he
looks, and worn as he is, manifests a
miraculons vitality. He is seldom
absent from his post; is always on
the alert, watchful, wary and ready.
In this he is in strange contrast with
certain coxcombs in both branches
who deem it derogatory’ to their dig
nity to pay any attention to the pro
ceedings, and who affect a profound
indifference to all that goes on arbund
them. Stephens, on the contrary,
listens as attentively to the bill to
pay John Smith, of Smithville, $10.75,
as to a measure regulating the cur
rency of the country. He appears to
think that he was sent to Congress to
know what is going on, even if lie
does not participate, and it is painful
to watch the rapt attention the little,
shrivelled up old man pays to the
proceedings.
Hr. Hunter'* Statement.
The December number of the His
torical Magazine contains the reply
of Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
to the recent letter of ex-President
Davis. Mr. Hunter’s communication
discloses a number of very remarka
ble facts, among which is the state
ment that both Gen. Lee and Gen.
Breckinridge despaired of the issue
of the Avar and earnestly desired that
some steps should be taken to secure
peace a considerable time before the
final catastrophe. Gen. Lee Avent so
far as to seek a personal interview
with Mr. Hunter, urging him to ac
cept the responsibility of introducing
such a measure to the Senate of the
Confederate States. Mr. Hunter
represents that Mr. DaA’is was at that
time for some reason so* prejudiced
against him that the A'ieAvs expressed
by him (Mr. H.) in prh'ate confer
ence was retailed and exaggerated, so
as to injure him, so that he Avas com
pelled to decline to communicate Avith
the President for fear of misrepre
sentation. The article paints a gloomy
picture of the distracted condition of
affairs at the Confederate Capital just
prior to the final collapse and applies
some heavy charges to Mr. Davis per
sonally. While such controA'ersies
are in some respects to be deprecated,
they serve to enlarge our knoAvledge
as to interesting and critical periods
of history which might never have
otherwise become public property.
op
tion of Western Texas induced Dr. L.
P. Yandell, jr., to write the letter, an
extract from Avliicli follows.
W. R. Neal.
Pa thinks Texas the place for young
people but not for old. Texas is the
land for the man who lias a future,
but not for him whose life is behind
him, save a little time iu which he
requires the comforts and consolations
of civilized existence. The capacity
of Texas land and climate and grass
to support animal and A egetable life
he considers incalculable. He talks
about what Texas “is going to be,”
and what you stock men “are going
to make/' with the eloquence and
enthusiasm and uninterruptedness,
almost, of a real Texan. I frankly
confess that I am still a skeptic as to
the Texan of to-day ever becoming
rich. So good a country must cer
tainly be peopled someday by a grand
peopie. A people of A im, of energy,
of ambition. A people who will try
to stand in the front rank of agricul
ture, in the front rank of education,
and to whom tlie luxuries and ele
gances and refinements of the highest
civilization will be necessities. But,
from all I can gather, this people is
not yet, and the present inhabitants
and encumberers of the Prairie
Empire must pass away fur
ther West, or else be changed
into food fpr grass and grain and fruit
trees (for these and not the Avorms
eat buried people) ere the coming race
shall come. According to all testimo
ny, the greaser and the nigger, alone
of all human kind, exceed the present
Texan in indolence. If talking would
produce money every Texan Avould
be a millionaire, at least. The Avinds
liaA’e their times to blow, and the
Mammoth CaA’e blows half the year,
and both bloAV hard; but your Texan
blows Avithout ceasing, at home or
abroad, concerning everything that
Texan eA'er was, or is, or eA’er may be.
EA-ery Texan essays prophecy. He
talks only of the golden future Avhen
you get him on money, and he seems
content to quietly aAvait the future’s
coming in its own good time, confi
dent it Avill bring his bag of dollars to
him. I sec yo’ r Texan iioav seated

dried shirt, and the breeches being far
too short in the legs and crammed in

embodiment of proud, conceited and
contented poAerty. His castle is a
shanty, his floors are carpetless, his
food is plain bread and meat with
iioav and then an Irish or sweet pota
to. His library is an old copy of
a weekly ueAVspaper and if pious a
Bible, “Sir,” says he, “Texas is the
greatest country in the world. There
ain’t no country like it. Why, sir, it
beats creation. Look at that soil.
You can’t Avear it out. It ain’t got
any bottom. Why, sir, Texas can

She can raise cattle enough to give
eA’ery man, Avoman and child on the
face of the harty a roast of beef or a
tenderloin steak, Avhich eA'er they
choose, three times a day. She can
raise horses enough to mount all the
soldiers on the planet, besides fur

riage horses to every ciA’ilian. Just
scratch off the top dirt of her moun

coal till you can’t rest. She’s got
water power enough to run all the

ride at ease ; and as for timber, why,
sir, along the rh’ers and in the inte

Aveatherboard the Rocky Mountains,
and put a plank floor on the Valley
of the Mississippi.”
And so he goes on, talking largely
and doing poorly; making big pre
dictions and small profits; existing
in a miserable present and living in
a glorious future. So it has been
since my earliest memory, and I
don’t come across any but poor Tex
ans. Virginia is populated by the

“Going to bes.”
Sielivnok'a Haudrnke Pill*
Will be found to possess those qualities
necessary to the total eradication of all
bilious attacks, prompt to start the se
cretions of the liver, and give a healthy
tone to the entire system. Indeed, it
is no ordinary discovery in medical
science to lm-e inA r ented a remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which de
velop all tlie results produced by a
heretofore free use of calomel, a min
eral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in the
extreme to the human system. That
tlie properties of certrin vegetables
comprise all the A'irtues of calomel
without its injurious tendencies, is now
an admitted fact, rendered indisputa
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake Pills will be
fully satisfied that' the best medicines
are those provided by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
These Pills open the bowels and cor
rect all bilious derangements without
salivation or any of the injurious
effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will be seen by the altered
color of tlie stools, and disappearing of
the sallow complexion and cleansing of
the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany
each box of pills. Prepared only by

wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day—it is no Avonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg

directly from this cause. A bottle of

bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
