A Man Whims UuhIiicn, Tact Has Changed a
llankrupt tunrern Into Ono of the Host Proipcr-
OUK.
New York. December 15.—A man who
is fairly entitled to rank with the first
financiers of the country by reason of ex
ecutive ability is J. B. Houston, the presi
dent of the Pacilic Mail Steamship Com
pany. The tribulations through which
this great corporation lias struggled, und
the difficulties it lias encountered, would
make a book. Its history has been coupled
with great success and great disasters with
government contracts and congressional
investigations, mid with nil manner of
business complications. It has at times
been in such a financial condition that its
collapse lias been daily expected. To-day
it stands foremost ana almost, alone in the
carrying of the American flag on the wa
ters of the globe, and is at the pinnaole of
its prosperity.
THE GUIDING MIND
in accomplishing this position lias been
that of Mr. Houston, who is familiarly
known in Now York and Washington as
“Buck” Houston, being named after Presi-
denf Buchanan. The history of Mr. Hous
ton is a. striking illustration of the fact that
blood will tell. His lather, John II. Hous
ton, was forty-three years in the financial
branch of the government service, and was
second comptroller of the treasury at the
time of his death, in I860. He had served
continuously in the comptroller’s office
and the office of the fifth auditor of the
treasury from 1826. Originally a merchant,
he had been trained in business in a large
mercantile house in Philadelphia, had
traveled around the world, and had seen
tiie return of Napoleon I. to Paris from
liis exile at Elba. The mother of
Mr. Houston was Gertrude Truxton,
the youngest daughter of one of
the most famous naval officers of
the United States. Commodore Truxton
was senior officer of the navy by appoint
ment from General Washington on the
first organization of the navy. He was
placed in command of the fleet in the
West Indies, where he defeated and put to
flight the French frigate Lit Vengeance
■arid captured the French frigate La Insur-
gent-e, for which he received a gold medal
from congress. Resigning from the navy,
he we.s made high sheriff of Philadelphia,
a position which he held until 1822. ' Mr.
Houston was born in Washington in 1S30,
and reared there and educated in the
schools of the District of Columbia. In
1851 he entered the navy yard as a student.
In those days lads were permitted ad
vantages of study at the navy yard under
officers of the navy, but were required to
support themselves.
YOUNO HOUSTON,
after taking a three years’ course at the
Davy yard, entered the navy as third as
sistant engineer, and for the next few years
served in various parts of tho world. His
first, experience was in the Gulf of Mexico, j on certainty that if Captain Raoul is re-

Atdanta, December 12.—Growing out
of tbe projected Atlanta and Knoxville
railroad scheme, there was to-day unfolded
to your correspondent acorollavy by which
the Central railroad would niak’e a cut
turough the Carolina mountains, and gain
connection with tho northern railroad sys-
tenis. I he pl iu is to build a roau from
Lutunton to Athens,which on its face looks
very simple, until investigation discloses its
true meaning. From Gordon, 20 miles be
low Mucon,(in the Central trunk line,there
runs a broad-gauge extension to Katonton.

?i?!!: J A^ C0 . ve . , : sa Pl au »ton foot by | tides at the fair is a Bible (Old Testament) trans
lated by the eminent divine and Hebraist, the
friends of Capt. Raoul for re-election to the
presidency of the Central, which is de
signed to get for him the votes of the large
number or stockholders who live in that
section. It furthermore points the way
for the Central to bury its present limit for
the new road. Once built, it would pass
on through Madison, Banks, Franklin and
Habersham counties to Cl ay to u, in Rabun
county, where it would form a junction
with tiie Atlanta and Knoxville line,which
road itself is realiy engineered by men in
the interest of the Central. In this way
the Central would have a com
plete line to Knoxville, both by
way of Atlanta, piercing the northwestern
counties of the state,and by way of Athens,
piercing tbe richest cotton raising section
of the country. Not only would such an
extension hurt the East Tennessee and tho
Western and Atlantic, but it would also
make a sharp cut into the territory of the
Richmond and Danville. It may bo stated
tion under Commodore So 1 ubert, with
whom he also went to the coast of Africa
in the San Jacinto. On the African voyage
their mission was to stop the slave traffic,
and two of their experiences were the cap
ture of the brigs Benito nnd the Storm
King, laden with about 800 negroes. Mr.
Houston returned from the const of Africa
under Admiral Wilkes, who fell in with
the Roval Mail Steamship Trent, from
which Mason and Slidell, the Confederate
commissioners, were taken as pris
oners, an event which created the
sensation of the day nnd led
to no end of diplomatic correspondence.
Young Houston was among those selected
to go on board the Trent with the board
ing officer—present Admiral Fairfax, of
the navy—and to remove Mason and Slidell
to the Sait Jacinto. He was also on the
detail which conducted the two commis
sioners to Boston, where they were placed
in confinement in Fort Warren, and was
selected by Admiral Wilkes with Captain
A. P. Cook to accept the reception from
the citizens of Boston at the. Fatieuil Hall,
will be bold and aggressive in his move
ments, for he recognizes the fact that these
opposing companies have been giving Gen
eral Alexander great support. It is a
knowledge of these facts which makes
these men now anxious for Alexander’s
election, in order that Raoul’s plans may
be thwarted. ^

New York, December 15.—At the cen
tral labor union meeting to-day a report
was handed it, from James Redpath,
Father McGlynn, W. O. McDowell, John
B. Crimrains and Jemes T. Sparkman, sav
ing that they had in instigated the whole
of the Tln.iss boycott, and had found
that, the boycotters weie innocent of any
intention to violate the aw. In the course
of their inquiry, ttey say they
were convinced that tbi boycott upon
Frank Ehret was ordered Wider a misap-
l «? n »°t met to roioice i prehension, and was unwarranted and un-

CVntr’nl Railroad.
Central railroad stock is still in the low thirties,
though the market is reported quieter than it was
a short time ago, when it was advancing three or
four points a day. One cause assigned lor the
quietness of the market is that Alexander men
have secured all tho stock they want, aud have
put a limited amount on the market. This should
be taken with several grains of sail, for if it is
true it can be regarded in no other light than a
tolerably large-sized bluff.
President Raoul has very justly earned the rep
utation of not affirming, denying newspaper or
other reports concerning his road, but there has
been a report put in circulation, and in such a
way as to call forth a denial from him. It is
told that he has offered Mi. Douglass Green, of
the Green A Bateman firm of New York, the vice
presidency ofthe Central, creating such an office
for the purpose if he will support him with his
influence. Captain Raoul states that there is not
a word of truth in it. It is understood that Mr.
Oreeu is already a Raoul supporter.

A sharp reaction ins followed yesterday’s
Hurry, and the market weut off some 15 points
with a trifle steadier. The lone at- the close,
though of no poetise strength, a break has been
partial. The reflection from Wall street makes
an almost panicky fooling in stocks, and already
causes a Mrirnront money nuirkef; which fore
shadows emuflderuble difficulty in the matter of
exchange, so that longs lmve sold out cotton
with much freedom Several of our heaviest con
cerns, however, absorbed the offerings in a man
ner that proven-cd a more uerioin break, and

DYSPEPSIA
Up to a few weeks ngo I considered my
self the champion Dyspeptic of America.
During the years that, J have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed to
be a specific for Dyspepsia in the hope of
finding something that would afford per
manent relief. 1 had about made up my
mind to abandon nil medicines when I no
ticed an endorsement of Stmmonh Ltvkr
Kisoulator by a prominent Georgian, a
jurist whom J knew, and concluded to try
its effects in my case. I have used but
two bottles, nnd am satisfied that I have
struck the right thing at last. I felt its
beneficial effects almost immediately.
Unlike all other preparations of a similar
kind, no special instructions are required
as to what one shall or shall not eat. This
fact alone ought to commend it to all
troubled with Dyspepsia.
