PAINFUL CASE OF TETTER.
1 have for twenty-five or thirty years been a
sufferer from DRY TETTER. It developed itself
on different portions of my body, extending to my
feet and hands, causing them to irch intolerably
end to crack ft was so painful that I was com-
pelled to wear India rubber gloves day and night
for months at a time. After consulting the best
physicians, and using all the remedies which came
to my notice without relief, 1 commenced the use
of SWIFT S SPECIFIC, and am happy to say that
there is scarcely a vestige of the disease left. At
no time in twenty-live years have I felt such relief
and freedom from disease, and I cheerfully recom-
mend Swift*s4Specitic to all similarly afflicted.
J. R. BRAN HAM, Macon, Ca.
Bronchitis aiul Minister's Sore Throat
CURED.
1 was laid low by an attach of Uroneliitis and
Minister's Sore Throat, and my life v;\s almo
despaired of, when my doctor said try S. S. S. I
hesitated for some time, but I was afraid of being
permanently laid aside i'rom the active auties of
my ministry, and I decided to give the prepara-
tion a fair trial, and after persevering in its use
1 found complete reliei'. and am enjoying excel-
lent health. I am clearly of the opinion that
Swift's Specific is one of the best Alteratives and
Blued Purifiers in existence, anil take pleasure
In recommending its fine curative qualities to
others afflicted as I was.

Cotton Compress,
MANUFACTURED ONLY BY
THE PUSEY&JONES COMPANY
Wilmington, Delaware-
Having. after long and careful study and great
expense, succeeded m perfecting the above re-
ferred to machine, we offer it now to the public as
the most powerful, safe and expeditious compress
in usts.
Wholly of metal, reducing its risk of destruction
much in ease of fire, aud working with scarcely any
friction, its movements are smooth and noiseless:
and as the whole power is directly applied to the
bale without intervention of levers, coc: gearing or
other devices common to other forms of com-
presses. its work is performed at less cost of fuel
par bale than any press in use.
Y/hen used In combination with Riesel's Bale
Ejector, which discharges the pressed bale as soon
as the press opens, thereby relieving the men from
ihat IcOor, 10(J bales per hour can oe compressed
and tied.
The capacity of the press is 2000 tons, and this is
applied to each bale pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
and with all the care that skill and experience can
command, and are guaranteed in all their details,

'Time is mosej." "Goods well bought are

to this end challenge a tett of same by inviting in-

and examine my goods and prices, to see my facil-
ities of business, and to witness with what care and
dispatch I can forward their purchase.
Cotton will net more in this than any market in

[Special Correspondence of Tlie News.]
New York, May 19.—Stocks opened quieter and
firm in the main, with a later advance of *£@1?6
per cent. Soon after meridian, however, 4
fresh selling of Wabash preferred was noticed,
blocks of 1000 to 2500 shares coming out down to
41*^, against sales at 42£^ earlier in the day, and thij
caused the whole market to become feverish and ir.
regular a«rain with a pretty general decline of *4<g*
*«> per cent. Disquieting reports were circulated
from Lonvlon, but it is not believed that American
securities were likely to be represented very largely
in any failures that might take place— nevertheless
the stories had their effect.
It is again reported that Mr. Gould is endeavor?
ing to get control of Central branch Union Pacifid
stock with a view to the building of an extensioA
to Denver in the Missouri-Pacific interest, thus
making a fourth parallel line of railroad east from
Denver. A prominent director in the Union-Pacific,
however, says that even though Mr. Gould should
get the stock alluded to, that the controlling inter*
est wood still be held by the present Union Pacific
management.
The Central Trust company will deliver to hold-
ers of its receipts for first mortgage bonds of the
Galveston. Houston and Henderson road for 1871.
new first mortgage bonds together with 2*^ peif
cent, in ca^h for interest due April 1, upon the sur-
render of the receipts at the office of the com-
pany.
President Dillon has gone to Omaha to meet Df*
rector Ames on business connected with the work*
ing of the Union Pacific road, the nature of wbicb
is promised tlie press on Mr. Dillon's return.
The Pacific mail steamers New York and Tokio,
which have just arrived at San Francisco, earned
$210,000 on the round trips, which fact was used to
advance the stock a peg or two.
There has been a good deal of talk about the
selling of $17,000.000 Western Union stock to Lon-
don, and its listing on tlie exchange ot that city,
but at this writing nothing definite is known;
though the point is freely given that the stock is a
purchase for a good rise.
A report last evening stated rhat Mexican bond9
in London were firm, and that the English holders
thereof bad agreed to accept the proposals of the
Mexican government for the payment of the loam
To-day. however, comes a cable announcing greafi
depression in Mexican and other securities, with*
our. giving any reason therefor, save that further
stock failures are thought to be impending.
LETTER FROM SAN BERNARD.
xxig-h Tide not a Siorm—Plenty of
"Water—A Coast Survey — Crops,
Etc.
LTo The News.I
Sax Bernard, Ma^ 19, 188?.-—The wind has
been blowing almost a gale for the past fout
days and the result is a very hish tide, the sus-
pension of travel and the lauding in of all
small crafts that navigate these small waters.
I had the pleasure of meeting Professor J.
E. McGrath, of St. Louis, Mo., aid to the
chief surveyor iu the United States coast and
geodetic survey. These gentlemen made a
triangular line from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific ocean, which line passed through SL»dalia
and Warrensburg, Mo., the former residence
of your correspondent, where the corps stopped
operations and proceeded to Matagorda pe-
ninsula, where they arrived last February,
and where they have beeu ever siuce, nnd
where they are likely to remain during the
summer. They are now engaged in connecting
the surveys made in 1853 anil 1855. They first
ran a base line along Matagorda peninsula.
Professor McGrath is now hunting the old
points established by these two old surveys,
and in this work he is materially assisted by
John Cain, the son of one of the old settlers of
Texas, who is and has been for many years
well acquainted with the coast of Texas. The
professor is a very intelligent gentleman.
From here he went to the Brazos, San Luis
Pass and the lower end of the island in the sea,
which is commonly called Galveston.
Jlr. C. Barton, a prominent merchant and
railroad agent with his family, of Patterson*
Waller county, together with J. G. Neil, a
pleasant and intelligent old bachelor of thd
same place, are spending a few weeks here re-
cruiting bad health. I am indebted to them
for favors. I have also been visited by Colo-
nel J. M. Dickenson, late of Kentucky, but
now of Dupree, Hays county, Texas, who has
been spending a couple of weeks at the mouth
of the far famed seaport, which is supposed
to be located at the mouth of the Brazos, Some
weeks ago I visited and inspected the improve-
ment, or rather the work now being done at
the mouth of the Brazos, by the general govi
ernment in charge of Lieutenant Wright, 4
very intelligent and accommodating officer^
as well as a very competent officer.
Crops look the best in Brazoria county o$
any place I have visited since I left homeJ
which includes the counties of Fort Bend, Har*
ris. Galveston and Brazoria.

Fifteen-ball Pool*
[To The News.I
Lufkjx, Texas, May 21, 1383.—-Two months
ago one of our saloon-keepers purchased a fif*
teen-ball pool table. The State issued him 4
license on the 14th daj of April, 1SS3, for on#
year. Some of our citizens, supposing it to ba
an innocent game allowed by law, played oa
the table. Some played for the fees, others
for tickets—which read good for one drink.
Now, our justice here has issued warrants foi?
all who have played; aud if it is against the
law it will be very hard on some of them. Will
some of the able lawyers of the State inform
us, through your paper, if the law has been
violated? If not, it will save the citizens of thii
town and county several hundred dollars.

Weather and Crops*
Lampasas Globe, of Sunday: A splendid rain
fell yesterday morning, aud with that pre-
viously had, will make a very good season.
Texarkana News, of May 20: Rain again
last night. Corn waist high.
Gatesville Sun, May 19: Harvesting of wheat
has begun in Coryell, and the crop is quite good
in some localities, while in others it is not....
Rain fell throughout the entire county oa
Thursday, but was very light iu some sections.
It was very timely.
Morgan Argonaut: Another refreshing
shower visited this section on last Monday.
Vegetation is much revived in consequence.
Hamilton Times: A fine rain fell AY ednesday
night. The rain was very general over the
county, Hico, Center City "and Jonesboro aU
getting some of the precious dampness.
Jasper Texan: Rev. Ii. M. Stew art, of Farrs-
ville, Newton county, was in town last Satur-
day and reported crops good in his neighbors-
hood Crop reports from every portion ot
the county are encouraging, especially corn
and oats, the latter of which are now being
harvested in some places.
Xiive Stock.
Terrell Times: It is estimated that Mr.
Frank Houston will export from this county
three hundred and fifty carloads of cattle, and
Bensley & Mayner will ship one hundred aud
fifty carloads.
Victoria Advocate: Mr. Berry shipped a
fine lot of 500 beef cattle this week to NeW
Orleans. The cattle were bought from Mi\
Thomas O'Connor, in Refugio county.
At G. "W. Bo wen & Co.'s sale of Runnymede
yearlings, at Lexington (Ky.), nineteen head
sold for an aggregate of $10,460, an average
price of $550. The highest price brought by a
single animal was $1500.
Atlanta Constitution : The drain on Georgia
for cattle for other sections has been large this
year. Several thousands have been shipped to
Texas, a new field of demand, as far as Geor-
fia is concerned, and Mr. Dick Stapler, of
'aldosta, has just closed an order tor 1000
Georgia cattle for the Cuban market. He is
to deliver at any point south of the Suwanee
river. The price he pays is $S to $10 a head.

der and Urinary Diseases. Sl. Druggists.
Once in a while a dishonest man shows the
sincerity of his reformation in something more
tangible than words. In Quiucy, 111., a feW
years ago, a man occupying a position ot
trust stole $10,000 and decamped to Mexico.
According to the popular belief, his ill-gotteu
wealth ought to have brought nothing bull
disaster to him; but, on the contrary, the in-
vestments that he made brought to him a
handsome fortune. As he now had plenty oi
money, his conscience impelled him to restore
the mone3' which he had stolen. He did sot
and, having a competence, will probably be
strictly honest in the future.
Lapies and all sufferers from neuralgia, hyste-
ria and all kindred complaints will find without a
rival Brown s Iron Bitters.
