San Francisco Is agitated by the ques-

Texas—As It Was,"Is, ip* W|U|Be.
There Is no portion of the American
Continent so rich and varied in history as
theState ofTexas. It has been owned and
possessed In turn by France, Spain and
acy; and is now a loyal ana law-abiding
State of this Union, and the Mecca, the
land of promise, to which all eyes are
turned.
But two short years ago Texas waa as
tetera Mates/of ill In-
oommérce as the Mouq talis of the

her with their magic hands and her remot-

As Oils State is'now attracting such uni-
versal attention we believe . we cannot
please our readers better than by giving a
i'ew statistics and information of general
interest. The area of the State is 274,000
square miles, or 175,500,000 acres. The
population, in 1850, was 212,000 ; In 1860
It was 600,000; in 1870 It was 818,000, and
now approximates 1,400,000, and is filling
up at (be rate of about 12,000 per month;
not attracted by glittering gold or wipes
of silver, but for quiet homes, (Jld-fkshlon-
ed farming and stock-raising. Her taxa-
ble property, In 1850,- was $51,000,000.
She lost $85,000,000 worth of slaves by the
war, and yet her taxable property in 1870
was $240,000.000, and probably double that
sum now. The next assessment will in-
clude the railroad property of the State, ot
which there Is already in operation about
1.000 miles. The public domain, belongs
exclusively to the State, theUnMed State
having no interest In it, wd of this she
has given with a lavish hand to railroads
instead of bonds, thus securing a vast sys-
tem of internal Improvements without in-
curring a heavy bonded debt or biirde
some taxation upon her people. These
lands have been given tc
témate sections, the even numbers being
reserved by tho State as school lands, and
¡ire now placed upon the market (to

A Famous Medical Institution.
From tlie qii'oogu Times.
" The name of Or. B. V. Pierce has become
as familiar to the people all over the country
as household words. His wonderful reme-
dies, his pamphlets and books, and his large
medical experience have brought him into
prominence and given him a solía reputation.
The Times, In the present Issue, presente a
whole-page communication from Dr. Fierce,
and our readers may gain from it some Idea of
the vast proportions of his business and the
merits of his medicines. He has at Buffalo a
mammoth establishment appropriately named
" The World's Dispensary," where patients
are treated, and th« remedies compounded.
Here nearly a hundred persons are employed
In the several departments, and a corps of
able and skilled physicians stand ready to al-
leviate the sufferings of humanity by the most
approved methods. These physicians are in
frequent consultation with Dr. Fierce, and
their combined experience are brought to
bear on the successful treatment of obstinate
oases. The doctor is a man of a large medi-
cal experience, and his extensive knowledge
of materia medica has been acknowledged by
presentations of degree from two of the
first Medical Colleges In the land. How mer-
itorious his works are may be inferred from
the fact that his pamphlets and books hav<
