This Hotel, being situated close to the Bay, is not sur-

employment is about the wharf, and ".those waiting for
shipment to other ports. His table and bar are so well

'aim—no other desire—no other wish—than to
publish a paper to which the citizens of this
portion of Texas can point with pride as the
faithful exponent of their political principles.
We shall ever be a faithful sentinel on the
ramparts, watching with a zealous eye the
rights of those around us.
Although a portion of our columns will be
devoted to politics, the Agrieulmral, Mechan-
ical, Commercial and General News depart-
ments will not be neglected. To these we ex-
pect to devote a large share of attention, be-
lieving that they ace equal’ / conducive to not
a small class of the reading public.
In conclusion we have to say, If yon give us
try a box. I did so, aud am now almost cured, 1 think
one box more will effect a permanent cure. I can cheer-
fully recommend these pills to all who may suffer from
liver complaint- I have also known them used with

French Gayety.—The true secrecy of the
proverbial gayety and good nature of the French nation |
is their exquisite cookery and their extreme care of the I worM
digestive organs. The dinner of your trpe French bon
vivant is never complete w4tko.ut some fine cordial or
stomachic, which gives to the digestive apparatus the'QUf'future course?
stimulus necessary to its healthy and rapid action.— ”” "
Thus the usually incomplete process of changing the
food into the vital fluid by the delicate machinery of
the stomach is carried on with infinite pleasure and
benefit to the whole system. A small cordial glass of those
the celebrated St. Nicholas Stomach Bitters is among'
other agreeable cordials the usual concomitant of a
good dinner in most of the better class of Parisian cafes
and will be found in this country, if t.aken either before
or after dinner, to oonduce materially to health and sidious designs of traitors within—is the high-
comfort. As a remedy for indigestion, Nausea, or est dream of our ambition. We have no other
Dyspepsia, it is a most valuable specific.
