Prices' Celebrated
Aromatle Stomach and TOnle Bitters.
THE CHAMPION OF THE FIELD.
Competition Invited — Superiority Defie .
It is as easy to prepare admixture as to devise
the schemes." But the question naturally arises
as to the efficacy of those concoctions, just as it
would as to the practical utility of those meas-
ures. In an age signalized by charlatanism,
auid ht : t on the rapid accumulation ot wcaltlT,
science affects to be constantly discovering
some invaluable remedy, by which the various
ailments of human nature may be cured or alle-
viated. Certificates from unknown sources flood
the circulars, and paragraphs swell tlio papers,
as to their wonderful restorathd properties, and
the poor public, cajoled into credulity by the
plausible air of truth with which they are in-
vested, swallow tho draugh and repeat the dose,
until their purse-strings have been fruitlessly
Btrctclied to their utmost tension.
Not so *vitt Prices' Celebrated Aromatic
Stomach and Tonic Bitters.
Prepared from ingredients known to th e Med-
ical faculty as possessing marked sanative prin-
ciples, and subjected to the ordeal of repeated
aualytic tests, it has emerged not only un-
scathed, but confirmed by the experience of
those who have experimented with it.
It does not assume to embody all the Virtues
of the Healing Art.
It is only claimed and guaranteed to prove ef-
ficacious in all oases of Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Chills and Fover, General Debility, Nervous
Symptons, Torpidity of the Liver, Constipation
of the Bowels, Loss of Appetite, Inoperation of
the Gastric Fuhctions, and Choleraic Maladies.
Simple, yet strong in all its stimulative action,
it is as palatable as a cordial, and entirely free
from those bitter herbs and coloring composites
that destroy the flavor of the market bitters.
Irrespective of these considerations, it needs
no better props to its support than the univer-
sality of its use and the extent of its circulation.
Unrestricted to local limits, the IXL brand has
pushed its way through every section of the
South and West, and the name of PRICE is ap
familiar there as á household word.
Peculiarly adjuvant, appetizing, strengthen-
ing, Price's Celebrated Aromatic Stomach and
Tonic BitterS Will be found invaluable. Enough
that citizens of ihe South whose names are at
hand to the Proprietor, and whose testimonials
are as " towers of strength," because of their
character and position, are ready to corroborate
all that has been alleged in favor of
Prifce's Celebrated Aromatic Stomach
and Tenlc Bitters.

Miss Piney W. Forsythe, who is a

called printers' devils:
A great many persons are in the l¡ bit
of looking npon, and speaking of, printers'
devils in a manner that reflects no credit
npon themselves. Those same printers,
in nine eases o«t of ten, ere three times
as well posted on the issues of the day as
the persons who speak of them. There
is no clase of boys for whom we have a
more profound respect than well-beliaved'
printers' devils. They know somethiug,
and are practical, which is more than yon
can say of all classes of boys. In that
respect, we place the boys who work in a
printing-office, head and shoulders above
most othér boys. Young ladies, before
yon again elevate, get some one who
knows something of history to tell you
the men of some characters that were

Levi Jones is the principal proprietor of
the lands at Bolivar Point. Should the
Kansas road, as seems quite certain, ter-
minate there, and the proposed road be
built from there to intersect the New
Orleans road at Beaumont, Bolivar may
loom upasa rival to the Island City. It
has the best harbor and is more accessi-

difficult undertaking to rival a town once
as strong as Galveston ie.
John Watson, Jr., was killed in Gon-

The facts, fee narrated in the Index,
clearly vindicate Littlcfield. Watson,
having a pistol on his pel-son, for which
there was no reuson in a peaceable eonn-
trv, drew it on Littlelield to rn force a
demand which he had no right to make.

We have been fhown by Mr. Garlick,

both on a scale so inflnitesimally stnall as
to be illegible to the naked eye. The
Times seems more like commingled pen-
ciling . It was thus photographed during
the siege of Paris, sent into the city by
carrier pigeons, deciphered by means of
a magnifying glass, read out to a score
or more of short hand reporters, then
written out in full, and thus published
in the French journals. This is a new
achievement in modern progress.

the faint pulsation here is but the prelude

the memory of their good deeds, like the

It doeB not relieve any man of his disa-

learn of the case by personal explanation

exonerates him from any wrong intent.
He did not know that the editor of the
Gazette was in the House at the time—
but had Mr. Elliott, asked him for S seut
as an editor, wishing to report the pro-
ceedings, he would have had oue, &c.
The Speaker concluded by saying that
"he felt called upon to make this state-
ment in order that the (membeis of the
House might uuderstatid' the faets in the
case, and that lie bad not discriminated
unjustly against a gentleman because he
chanced to hold a prominent, position in

preamble to the resolution sets off,among
other things, that the act " is calculated
to produce conflicts of authority between
officials of the Federal and State govern-
ments, and tends to engender jealousies,
riot, and blood-shed: and that it imposes
odious duties upon private citizens, and
affixes oppressive and uuusnal penalities

On the 11th the following bills, having
passed thé House, were reffered to Com
mittees in the Senate:
To incorporate the Indianolr City Rail-
road Company.
To incorporate the Indianola Dredging
Company.
To incorporate the Indianola Hook and
Ladder company.
"An act granting peusions to the sur
viving veterans and the widows of de-
ceased officers and soldiers of the revolu-
tion which separated Texas from Mex-
ico."
This seems to be a proposition
of the present general pensioa la# to
which we lately referred. We suppose it
grants pensions to the more necessitous
classes, but have seen no copy of the
bill.

THE KARNES ESTATE.
The Cleburne Chronicle says that Mrs.
Susan H". Corley, of that town, sister
and le.-al representative of the late Col.
Henry W. Karnes of the army for the in-
dependence of the "Republic of Texas,"
whose exploits for gallantry and useful-
ness in that glorious achievement have
long sines passed into history, is entitled
to his estate, which is sitnated in the
eastern part of the State, in the region of
tbe Sabine and Angelina rivers, amount-
ing to eight leagnes of land or more; and
which, by the government of Texas, has
been taken and applied to the extinguish-
ment of the liabilities of the government
appropriated and patten ted to others,
without making any compensation there-
for. Is not this wrong? Sue is now old
and poor. Will the Legislature not do
something for her in compensation for
her property, taken by it, and which

In all' bfjwhich tiie éX-Présídp¿i,of íiif
lato Confederate States sÉtows boíü good
sense and good taste. His entire refusal
to thrust his views or bis feelings upon
the country—indeed bis absolute silfux>«
—ever since tho frar, has drawn forth
high compliments from thosn in the North
even tiie bitterest opponents of the South.
His self-imposed deportment contrasts
honorably with the coudnct of many of
his tradueera who became noisy and
clamorous for place vtjry soqn after thé
war. The true line of Conduct for Air.
Davis, wiiich none know better than him-
self, is silently to leave bis character to
impartial history in the future.

But really, wo are glad to see the Old Farent
of Anglo-American civilization in West Texas
putting on the habilaments of progress. More-
over, we fatly justify her in offering to give
preference to the first road that may invade her
historie precincts. We shonld do the same
thing nndcr the same circumstances. Gonzales
ought to be a railroad centre. Nature has so
endowed the locality. Should all the roads
pass her by, Gonzales Would lease to be. Home

A writer in the Corning (Iowa) Gazette
gives an account of a terrible whipping
received by a, widow's son, for a slight
offence, in the public school of Quiucy,
Adams county, Iowa. He says the
teacher took a large hickory whip, at
least three quarters of an inch in thick-
ness at the large end, and about six or
eight feat long, with which he adminis-
tered the most Severe whipping that ever
a scholar received for so sligh t an offence.
In fact, he nsed both hands, and laid the
whip on with all his strength, giving
him at least one hundred and fifty blows.
If soch occurences as the above were
ized upon now-a-days as were the occa-
roal acts of brutal men who happened
slaves before the war, a tew years
wonld arouse public indignation against
y.ho4b <agd ícboó¥-tóasters, generally.
If anyJSjpn possible', short of absolute
self-deféOTte, could induce us to take tbe
life of a fellow being, it would be tbe
treatment of a child of our'i like the
widow's son was treated in Quincy, Iowa.
Yet, in that cose, the Liw is abundantly
sufficient to punish that cruel febool
master. Besides, who knows but the
man was deranged, or so tortured by dis-
ease or want as to have hit whole nervous
system unhinged, and render him virtu-
ally irrespons ble for his acts? If we
take snch statements in their e.r purte
manifestations, and liase public opinion
on them, we odd fuel to that flame of
nnreasou and hate which is consuming
the heart of our once united and happy
nation.

Mr. L. Willemin of Ind&aola,
been appointed by the Central Belief
Committee of New York their agent to
receive and forward contributions for
the suffering families of France. The cir-
culad of the Committee, as vd as the
press, set forth in feeling termfthe terri-
ble suffering from hunger now existing,
in France. Tbe little children even of
our country should fememberthat twenty-
five cents—nay even tea cente—may
save the life of some poor starving chili
in France at this jancture. It is glorious
to aid in relieving the paógs of hunger.
We of the South, so reóMitly

Ex-Confederate Gen. John B' Hood

from his connection with the Southern

to the frontier people of Texas prior to
