{ The Advertiser says:
Capt. Price was perfectly correct
in believing that in the United
States a law exists that all ships
should carry boats sufficient to hold
all their passengers. Such a law
does exist, but, like many another
good law which has been passed by
our American cousins, it is not en-
forced. and vessels sailingunder the
American flag are infininitelv more
deficient in provisions made for the

The Eagle Pass Journal is not'stuck
on “dobies," as the following sessor-
inktum from that paper indicates:
A mud house is being erected on
the beautiful lot adjoining Mr.
Gillespie’s nice residence. It is a
shame that these kind ot buildings
should thrust themselves in the
best parts of the town.
f oug French officers are staying
Germania cities under the control
of the “Iron Chancellor.” If they
don’t succeed in p:eking up Ger-
man wives while picking up a
knowledge of the German language,
their lingual lore may beofservice to
France in the event of a renewal of
the Franco-Riussian war.
The New York Tribune dresses
up the situation as follows: “When
a man Texas is converted he has
his hip pocket sewn up. When a
man in Kentucky is converted he
sells hisflask to the junk dealer,
and when a man in Chicago is con-
verted he swaps slang phrases with
Sam Jones.”
From [Tomans World and Work
in the N. 0. Pictyune we take the
following slash at a popular author-
ess: “M’s. Francis Hodgson Bur-
nett is popularly considered a[pret-
ty woman. She is quite a lioness
in Washington society.’ She is in
reality a large, fat, over-grown wo-
man, given to decollete,dresses, with
arms and neck like hunks of raw
beef, and a maimer of posing in
ultra-aesthetic attitudes that are
thoroughly disenchanting to those
who are in search of an ideal author
of “Louisiana.”

that a rule has been adopted by the
United States authorities not re-

The larger body of passengers comes

that by the American rule the Ore-
gon’s boats would be assumed to
hold 1216 passengers.—[Galveston

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT SAN ARGON.
Roscoe Colliding would appear to
be turning his optics in the direct-
ion of the political arena from the
following letter to a Chicago politi-
cal associate:
Your friendly letter and its pleas-
ant in closure made an agreeable
break in the unending round of
work. The^assuranees you write,
especially that of your unchanged
friendship, are sincerely apprecia-
ted. The occasion for putting to
political test the feelings of others
lias past, but it is none the less a
satisfaction to believe that extravi-
gant assaults have not gained en-
during ground. Mr. D— was very
good to express the thought you-
mention, but no such thought is
mine. My impression is, that for
you and me it is quite as well to be
no nearer the springs of politics
than we are now. That some se-
rious events aie not distant, I be-
lieve and it seems to me they have
been rendered more serious by
action and sentiment which have
seemed to me unfortunate. Which
party may gain most from the un
settling which is going on is a mat-
ter of iess concern and reflection
than how the country and its peo
pie may he affected. In respect of
this I am as earnest as ever, and I
hope and believe you are.

Jefferson Davis to Visit Montgomery.
The announcement that Hon.
Jefferson Davis would visit Mont-
gomery, and appear before the pub-
lic and make a short talk in behalf
of the Confederate soldiers’ monu-
ment, the Montgomery Dispatch
says, has attracted considerable at-
tention throughout the country,
and especially throughout the
South, and awakened an interest in
the breast of all true Souterners to
see once more, and perhaps for the
last time, the grand old man who
sacrificed so much for a cause once
so dear to the hearts of his people;
and letters are pouring in upon the
President and Board of Directors
of the Monument Association, mak-
ing inquiries as to the time Mr. Da-
vis will probably visit the city, and
expressing a desire to he present on
the occasion of his visit.
As an evidence of the growing in-
terest in this matter the following
letters are published, showing what
a grand and glorious day Montgom-
ery and Montgomerians may expect
when Mr. Davis comes to the city.
It will be seen that both letters,
though written wide apart, hear the
same date, and that the same pa-
triotic fellings prevade every line
of both:
New Orleans, March 23, 1886.
To the President of the Confedrate Monument As-
sociation, Montgomery Ala.
Dear Sir—We have noticed
through the press you are to lay the
corner stone of a Confederate monu
meat in your city sometime during
the month of April, 1886.
Will you kindly inform me if the
date has been fixed upon, as we
may send a delegation from our
command, if we can make suitable
rates with the railroad companies?
Any information of the arrange-
ments made will he thankfully re-
ceived, and I have no doubt that
quite a delegation could he induced
to go, both from the Army of North,
ern Virginia and the army of the
Tennessee Associations, if the rail-
roads will only make proper rates.

Mon. Wr. 8. Keese, Montgomery: 3 !
Dear Sir—We see from the papers
that Mr. Davis is expected to de-
liver, some time soon, in your city
a memorial address, Can you now
give the date? There are a good
many here who will likely7- attend.
The people commend you for giv-
ing them an opportunity to see Mr.
Davis. Yours truly,

Ricn in flavor, mild and elegant in taste. It does
not contain one drop of impure oil. Being a,genuine
Barley Malt Whisky, it possesses much nutriment,
and is a line tonic for use in malarial sections. It
greatly prevents attacks of Pneumonia. A splendid
tonic for weak lungs and feebleness. Most excellent
lor drinking, ana purest for home use.

A PUREWHISKY
Properly used is often beneficial to the system. In malarial districts it
is S a great extent preventive of malignant fevers. Taken just after
eating it promotes digestion. For feeble persons it is strengthening and
for consumption it is the best remedy known.
For medicinal purposes and for superior excellence we claim that
our Barley Malt Whiskey excels. It is free from ver-di-gris, a poisonous
substance that exists in all whiskies originally. This impurity is the
result of the action of acid upon copper in the process of distillation. By
a process of our own we remove this deleterious substance from our Bar-
ey Malt, leaving it as pure as the mountain water used in distilling it.
Only the best Barley is used and from the Malt this excellent whisky is
made. It is full of nutriment and .is really food as well as stimulant.
We guarantee it to be a perfect whisky. E. H. Chase & Co.

The Oregon steamship disaster
was discussed in the British House
of Commons and the following
points were elicited: She carried
878 passengers and her boats would
hold only 365 by the English rule.
Mr. Mundella said the board of
trade was not satisfied with the
present statutory requiremants, but
that no large steamer could carry
boats enough to accommodate all
her passengers. It would quad-
ruple the fare. He was reminded
The Sheep Trade,
Amounts to nothing at the present
time. For the first time in two
years the prices for sheep in the Chi-
cago market are sufficiently high
to justify regular sheep shipments,
and the railroad stopping blocks
the game. From the reports here-
tofore published, the sheep selling-
best are a class of muttons weigh-
ing from 95 to 135 pounds. The
size is not so much a consideration
as the quality. Prices rule for
Texas sheep with the wool on up
to 4 cents for good fat mutton, with
chances for an extra lot to reach
$4.25 or even $4.50. The freight
and feed charges depending upon
the number of sheep in the car and
the local shipping point, vary from
85 cents to $1 per head. Prices
