Cubebi extracted by displacenient with spirits spirits obtained from Junip-r Berries: very little | sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by bruegiste, is of a light color. It is a plant that emits its frnkrance ; the action of a flame destroys this (its active ovinciple,) le.-ving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the coler of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi nates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon Inspec tion, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Phannacopoea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inllarnmation ex ist. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredi ents and. the mode of preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your approbation With a feeling of confidence, I am very respectfully yours, 11.

To my United States and World wide Head ers: I HAVE received many tcstimorials from profes s'onal and medical men, as my almanacs and vari ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine. Ihe following from a highly educated and popuiar phpsician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen-. sible communications I have ever received. Dr. Clem ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo ny deserves to be written in letters of gold.

It has not failed in a single Instance, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the con trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great- deal of it. lam aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great, majority of the reg ular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum inlty which I may be able to command—not hesitating because someone more ingenious than myself may have learn d it3 effects first, and secured the sole right to secure hat knowledge. However, lamby no nuans an ad vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos trums that flood the country, that purport- to cure all manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.— Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. I am,sir, most respectfully. JULIUS P. CLEMENT, M. D. Bull’s Sarsaparilla. A GOOD REASON R’R THE CAPTAIN'S FAITH, READ THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE LET TER FROM IIIS MOTHER.

'fßsiferafcDj FiifcEstoxr. €6., Texas, i .wt•> f September Utli, 1870. ) i Mdiior Enquire)': About half a day’s ride north or west of this point you strike the -fff eat Prairies of the west, and as they are the rule, and timber the ex ception, I will give you a general de scription of them as seen in the heat of summer. At first you are lost in gaze and wonder, but this soon gives place so a kind of weariness at the mo notony of the scene; for you are anx ious at first to rh#»-ench successive roll of the prairie to see what is beyond, bub as you only rise them to see the same sight, curiosity, lapses into lati tude. You see before yon what y6u would call a hilly country if it was covered with timber, but as its covned only with grass, and that in the great- 1 est profusion, you gaze on-it only as it rises or swells. As for flowers in Au gust — “He lias optics sharp, I ween, To see wliat is not to he seen for they are not there. The scene is varied sometimes by a musquit prairie, with the musquit bushes scattered over it, which appears to be low and flat* and too thirsty in dry and too sticky in wet weather for cultivation. Occa sionally can be seen a long line of tim ber, marking the direction of a water course. Now and then, at long inter" valf, settlements are to be found, the roads to which are easily traced by weeds greener than grass which seem to invariably take the place of the de stroyed grass. This, however, is only where the travel is not sufficient to keep them down. At every crossing of the hollows can be found the cockle bur in rank profusion. The scene is enlivened late of an evening or early in the morniug by the appearance of any quantity of prairie chickens and mule-eared rabbats—the former with almost precisely the color and actions of the partridge, but four or five times larger, and the latter about as large as the swamp or ‘•buck” rabbit of Geor gia and Alabama, of a grayish or whit ish color, longer and slenderer legs, much longer ears, actions, while run ning, almost those of the deer. Both are easily shot from the wagon, but, without the proper facilities for cook ing them, are rather tough. Asa gen eral thing the soil of the prairies is ve ry rich indeed, but the two great things requisite for easy and comfort able living—wood and water—are sad ly wanting. Traveling on them in the heat A summer Is not so comfortable in the day, but the nights are delicious. A person from the timber almost inva riably takes cold. Let this general description suffice for the prairies east of the Brazos river. THE CROSS TIMBERS, about which so much has been said find written, is a belt of post oak, black jack, hickory, &c; about fivemiles wide, starting from the Brazos river, above Waco, and running north to lied river. There is no gradual change from prai rie to timber, but suddenly the black soil gives place to the sandy and the prairie grass to the timber; and I will here state that in all of T'exas that 1 have seen, we..t of the Trinity river* timber denotes a sandy soil. This belt of timber is of incalculable benefit to settlers near it on the prairie, for from it they get their wood for building, fencing, and all other purposes. The soil is in some places pooi*, in others rich. Emerging from the cross tim bers is just as sudden as entrance; and far away can be seen the bold, m , UI1 _ thinous bluffs west of the Bw zos: THE BRAZOS C^' x *poM is. heavily tiaibev^..the usual short timber peculiar to this country, I crossed it —the soil is °f a p andv, loamy, chocolate color, and v cry fertile indeed. It bears the char acter of being very sickly, s and appear ances certainly indicate that vt is so. — The bottom was. about four miles across, the whole of it'beihg. (there) on the pastern side. People, however, brave disease and settle all through it, ai|& on being questioned, declare i.h?yt it is healthy, while their pale, cadaver* doua visage tell another tale, ** ■ J «L 1 I 1S seems to be a peculiarity \v>’ a * v!o of Tern-»ewr £ , ldmit ;;; n X°; thy locality in * lietr nej „ h _ borhoo J. Crossing the river and wind ing about among the walnut and pecan trees, )ou finally i\acu the pramo high above all the timber, and then rising roll after roll of rocky prairie, you find yourself at an elevation which gives you a magnificent view of the country for many, many miles east of the river* | and can distinctly trace thp oross tim bers far aw ay in the distune 1 , stretch # iflgl its dim blue lino to th£ which is*tiually lost by tho inability of ! the natural eye to trace it further; and, too, before you lie the green prair ies, no longer showing the undulations, j but appearing perfectly level, and tho great map of green ettt here and there by the timber lining the banks of some water course seeking its outlet iuto tho Brazos. . WEST OF THE BUAZOS HIVEK tho musqu it h lost sight of, and tho live oak takes its place on the high ? rolling, rocky prairie —the soil, when any can bo found among tho rocks, ap pearing poor. This is, however, bet ter watered than east of tho river.— Such is the general nature of tho coun try until yon strike tho mountainous bluffs, covered with live oak aud cedar brush, which enclose the valley of tho Bosque (pronounced Boskey) river.— This brush is tb’ry low and scrubby but seems to have attained its full growth, for the live oak is loaded with a most tremendous crop of acorns.) — Standing on this eminence, THE VAT-LEY OF THE BOSQUE presents a most lovely appearance.— Immediately before you, and appar ently almost at your feet, lies the old. looking village of Meridian, the coun ty site of Bosque county, and away to the northwest and southeast stretches the green valley, varying in width from four to ten miles, and while ap pearing in the distance to be perfectly level, lines and vuAt&oi timber can bo seen running through and dotting about over it. Although seeming from the top of the bluffs to be level, yet the valley is undulating, and presents to the eye some splendid farming country. Along this valley the settle ments are frequent, and in some local ities the population is rather dense.— Following up the valley forty miles we arrived at Stepheuaville, the county site of Erath county, the valley becom ing wider and the lands improving, and water and timber being more reg ularly interspersed. Finding here all the advantages usually sought for, we ended our peregrinations. Health, water, timber enough, lands as fertile as man can desire and very cheap* fine country for either stock raising or farming all combined—the only draw brack being A T o! lft. THE INDIANS, and being there during an Indian ex citement, we saw no cause for person al apprehension or alarm, as they only come in in small squads of from threo to nine, and then for the purpose of stealing horses alone. No apprehen sion is felt by the settlors of the toma hawk, the scalping knife, or the torch, but every one feels uneasy for his line horses, as they understand Well what the marauding thieves arc after. Last month they were followed by a party of Federal troops, and officers now report that vigorous measures are to be used and are now on foot to exter minate them. But we all know how these Federal* are given to the great sin that Falstaff accused the world of, THE CROPS. Never, in my life, Mr. Editor, have I had the pleasure of seeing such tie mendous corn crops. It seems that the almost universal average in aU parts of the State is from 30 to GO bushels to the acre, and a very large area is planted—vastly predominating over the cottcn. The cotton crop, too. looks well, but it is subject to as many ills as flesh is said to be heir to, and there’s no use in making any estimate of it at this early date in the season. HEA TH.
