"W- K- Foster retires from the Round
Kock Headlight, and J. H. Tucker as-
sumes sole control. It is a good pa-
per.
The Sin Antonio Express is in favor
of a national subsidy to a Southern
Pacific Railroad, whether it reaches the
Gulf or not, and says:
It would be better that Galveston
and Austin and other ambitious cities
should be disappointed in their expec-
tations of being on a branch road built
by government subsidy, rather than the
main line should not be constructed.
The extension of the Southern Pacific
Road to El Paso would add millions to
the population °f Texas, and prove, be-
sides, an effectual protection against
Indian danger which now menaces us
from the concentration of all the tribes
of the continent m the reservations
contiguous to our border.
The Richmond Four Counties says of
the complaint recently made to the
Austrian Consul at Galveston:
The reputation Mr. Bernhard bears
in this county is by no means enviable,
It is stated by numerous law-abiding
and peace-loving citizens, both Ameri-
can and German, that Mr. Bernhard is
a worthless, fraudulent fellow, and has
no stability of character whatever
among those who know him: that he
has resided in this county some three
or four years, and all his earnings in
that time have been spent in petty law-
suits—lawsuits that none other than a
prejudice, selfish, jealous disposition
as his is represented to be, would stoop
to. This man is thought by some to be
loony; if so, nothing better could be ex-
pected of him.
A correspondent of the Gonzales In-
quirer undertakes to give the origin of
the word "maverick," as applied to
unbranded cattle in Texas; but he does
not get at the root. Martin's Historv
of Louisiana shows that the word was
in use there, with the same significance,
a hundred years ago. Many an old
story is revamped and localized, and a
whole generation grows up thinking
that they are contemporary with some
ancient fable as old as anything in
-12 sop.
The Castroviile Era says that since
the completion of the Sunset road to
San Antonio the tide of immigration to
Western Texas has been so great that
the country has settled very rapidly.
Castroviile, New Fountain, Dhanis,
Uvalde, Brackettville and Eagle Pass
have all grown from little villages into
towns of considerable importance,
whose merchants and mechanics do a
large business with San Antonio and
Galveston; and the Era, calls for an in-
crease in the mail and traveling facili
ties. Castroviile even begins to wonder
when the railroad will reach that place,
and the Era says;
San Antonio never was thq-objectixe
point of the Sunset Route. The pre-
liminary survey runs through the very
richest part of Western Texas and
touches the Rio Grande at the most
convenient point for crossing into
Mexico. The country all along the line
is in that condition to render him ef-
ficient aid, and will gladly do so now,
but-Jfe few months may materially
change all this. The line of the Inter-
national runs almost parallel with the
Sunset read, and if this latter route
succeeds in its effort to skip from Aus-
tin to San Antonio and goes to work to
build on to the Rio Grande, then the
I'eirce Road will be a dead letter, for
the International will turn right around
and fill the gap between Austin and
San Antonio and by its great through
line cut off three-fourth- of the patron-
age from the Peirce Road. On the other
hand, if Mr. Pe'rce •will complete his
road he will control all the trade of the
West, and by making it a dead weight
to build another road over or near the
same route, force the International
further south, so that it never will
seriously interfere with his direct trade.
The long-bearded patriarch of the
Dallas Intelligencer "goes for" some of
the ways of the world in a style border-
ing on the sarcastic,*
Ho s poor, a hard working man, try-
ing to pay his honest debts and support
his family by honest toil; but go for
him because he can not pay you a few
dollars he owes. He is poor and en-
titled to no consideration; keep him
down! Help him. He is a rich man;
who robbed a bank or made an assign-
ment, lives in a very fine mansion, and
walks leisurely, enjoying life, while his
wife and children are deprived of none
of the luxuries of wealth or the enjoy-
ments ot society. He's smart—an en-
terprising business man, and it's a pity
he's robbed his creditors. Don't say
anything to hurt his feelings, nor ex-
pect him to soil his delicate fingers
by toil. He compounded with
creditors at 2.3 or 30 per cent.,
and now lives in luxury and ease, an
honored, respected citizen, and a promi-
nent member of the church. Go for
him! He's poor; he's tryinsr to pay
cent for cent with interest,"and his
hands are hardened by toil; his wife and
children feel the pinchings of poverty
and tightness of the times; he lives in
a small house and fares scantily, but it
is as good as he deserves; he has no
business to be poor nor honest. He's a
fool for not robbing a bank or stealing
from those who would have trusted him
in prosperous days. He ought to be
poor. Go for him! Keep him down'
Pile upon him such a weight of oblo-
quy and pecuniary embarrassment that
he will never be able to rise.
Some of the traveling teachers of
English grammar who used to put their
students through in half a dozen les-
sons, are needed to teach certain rural
"locals the difference between the words
done and did, gone and went. Some
papers use these words indiscriminate-
ly. It may be well eneugh to do so in
such cases as " went and done it" and
"gone and did it," but these arc ex-
ceptions. which a little care will enable
one to observe. Shakspeare says:
" Thou canst not say 1 did it," but you
should not say " I done it."
Texas crops are turning out better
than the Irishman's pig. After being
converted into pork it was
weighed, and he said it did not
v, eigli as much as he expected,
and he never thought that it would.
The crops of small grain have excecd-
ed the most sanguine expectations, and
only disappointed those who predicted
failures. The hailstorms in different
neighborhoods did more harm than the
grasshoppers. It is to be hoped that
the State Bureau of Statisiics will
gather pretty complete returns of the
yield the present year, which promises
to be a fruitful one for crops of tv. ry
description. The next census will show
a larger increase in population and pro-
duction in Texas than in any other
State, and doubtless double the returns
for 1870, when the population was only
818,579, and the live stock and crops
showed the following figures:
42/Vwlhor8,es' 01 324 mules and uss-
es, 438,048 milch cows, 132,407 working

es; a denizen of the city, provided
he has nothing taxable, has many ad-
vantages over the ruralist.
The following brief extract from the
San Marcos Free Press is a more im-
pressive sermon on the uncertainty and
the sudden vicissitudes of human life
than many of the labored and eloquent
efforts of the most famous preachers:
One of the most striking examples of
the mutability of earthly hopes and
prospects is to be found in the case of
the late Major Burleson and family.
Less than one year ago, if any one had
been called upon to point out the most
prosperous and happily situated family
—the model home—in all this region,
he would probably at once have named
that of Major Burleson. Bearing a his-
toric and honored name in Texas, with
ample means and respectable position
of his own, a noble farm and surround-
ings, improved to his taste, with a wife
and mother in whom the prosperity
unity and affection of the family cen-
teied, and all in the enjoyment of
health, and with the flattering prospect
of many happy days—what more in the
eye of reason could earth afford? But
now how sadly all is changed! The
wife and mother, the husband and
father, are both in their graves, the
family without a head, scattered and
forlorn, the old homestead deserted by
all who so lately gave it light and life!
The howl of the political blood-
hounds " is what the San Antonio Ex-
press calls the abuse which the Radical
extremists shower upon the President
and the South for the completion of
the great work of conciliation which
has given peace to the country and
robbed these blood-thirsty demagogues
of their hold on power and patronage.
It is rather a compliment to some of
these men to compare them with the
baffled hounds described in the "Lady
of the Lake."
The San Antonio Herald says Col. J.
D. Logan, one of the former proprie-
tors of the Herald, has improved in
health very much recently, and prom-
ises to live many years. Many old
Texacs will be glad of the announce-
ment.
The State Gazette admits that it seems
rather illogical to advocate the reassem-
blage of the Legislature to rectify its
sins of omission, of which it was fla-
grantly guilty, in utter disregard of the
pressing necessities of the public ser-
vice; but thinks that if again called to-
gether in extra session, under the re-
striction as to the objects of legislation,
some of the worst errors of the last ses-
sion may be corrected. The Gazette
remarks:
One of the most prominent outrages
upon the public service was the refusal
of the Legislature to make suitable ap-
propriations for the expenses incident
to the enforcement of the criminal
laws of the State. While Governor
Hubbard is making vigorous efforts for
the suppression of lawlessness and
crime in the State, the courts are para-
lyzed for the want of means to arrest
and prosecute the violators of the law.
No means are provided and no Treasu-
ry warrants obtained for the carriage of
offenders and witnesses from one coun-
ty to another. Not long since the sher-
iff of an upper county was notified
that a leading criminal was in Austin
subject to his reclamation. He replied
that he could not do business on two
years credit, and he had no means
to pay the expense of sending for
him. Subpo-nas issued to remote
counties for witnesses desired have
been returned " not found " for a simi-
lar reason. There is no sheriff in a
populous county, that can afford, what-
ever his resources, to advance the
means neeessary to the proper execu-
tion of the criminal law, and there are
few in the State that will much longer
do it. We know of no remedy short
of a session of the Legislature for mak-
ing appropriations to meet the wants
of the public service. One week's ses-
sion would be quite long enough for all
practical uses, and the expense need
not be great. During the coming
month Gov. Hubbard will have had the
opportunity of passing on the general
financial wants of the State, and deter-
mining under this head the necessities
of the civil and military service. He
will no doubt discharge his duty with
fidelity to the country.

The New York SfcipjHi></ List, of Saturday
last, says:
Texas—Choice grades of Eastern are In re-
quest, but western remains quiet. The trans-
actions embrace 81,000 lbs Eastern at 23(2 S8o;
and 20,000 lbs Western at 18@22X>c.
COTTON—THE GROWING CHOP.
The Chronicle summarizes its weekly
| weatber reports by telegraph from all parts
of the South, as follows:
The past week has continued favorable for
crop development, and much more hopeful
reooi ts come in from almost all sections. In
Texas the prospect appears to be quite satis-
factory, though in the upper half ot the State
thx crop is backward; in Arkansas great im-
provement is indicated, and the plant is now
looking well; In Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama, more variation in stand i-t Iintice-
able, but the greater portions of those States
show considerable improvement the past two
weeks, and. in fact, the same is true of all
the other States Generally, however, the
stand is almost everywhere backward, but
improving.
DRY GOODS.
Advices from New York to Saturday last
report that values of both cotton and woolen
fabrics were steadily maintained during the
week preceding, ana because of the late ad- |
vance in the print cloth market low grades of
prints were marked up per j ard In
foreign goods there was very little doing, and
importers having relaxed their efforts to j
close out accumtuations by means of public
sales, the offerings at auction were meager
and unimportant.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market ruled firmer but
unchanged, with sales of 10,000 bales, includ-
ing 7400 American, and 1000 for export and
speculation. The imports were 800 bales, of
which 450 wei e from America. Arrivals open-
ed with buyers offering 1 32 more, but closed
Arm and higher.
The New York spot market opened and
ruled quiet but Arm at 1-16 advance, and held
higher with sales of 9i0 bales. Futures open-
ed firmer, ruled steady and closed firm with
sales of 50,700 bales, at sharp advance over
yesterday's closing quotations.
The New Orleans market opened strong
and olosed firm at Wc. advance, with sales of
2600 bales.
In this market sales to the extent of 759
bales were reported. The Exchange marked
prices up on all grades, and bulletins
the market as closing " firm with light offer-
ings." The demand was active and general
order-

WOOL.
The market is very quiet. Sales have been
small. Receipts continue light, and the bulk
of the clip has been marketed. James Lynch
of New York, in his circular for May says:
During the past month buyers of cio hing
wool gave most of their attention to the
States of California, and Texas, where a sharp
competition was manifested, and prices were
advanced rrom the opening full 15 per cent.
Tilt-re is nothing in the condition of things to
warrant such an advance; at present there is
a lull in the markets ot Fan Francisco, Gal-
veston, Corpus Christi, etc.
The new clip of "domestic fleece " will, for
the coming month, be the chief feature of the
market. It is quite evident that farmers will
not accept the rates of last year viz , about
30c. per B>. for the best Ohio, and 25'g.28c. for
Michigan and timilar wool; aithougn manu-
facturers are now in no better condition to
give higher prices than they bought at. (Quo-
tations for old wools of strict grades are high-
er than cou'd be applied to new wool of
whicii up to his time, there is none in market.
New Texas wools have been coming in free-
ly; the best Eastern finds ready takers at 25
ft 2Sc ; Western is not so quick, but fine com-
mands 22@2"c., good ordinary 18ff? 20c . and
inferior 15C7,18c. There is still considerable
quantity of old wool on hand, offered at 17®
20c., without finding buyers.
Since Mr. Lynch's report was written sales
have been made as high as 30c., and some
transactions on private terms, it was inti-
mated, showed a still higher figure for fancy
clips. This market closeB quiet but firm at
unchanged quotations.

Thcesday Evening. June 7, 1877. f
Tlie cotton market revived to-day, prices
were advanced }£c., and factors had the ad-
vantage of the situation. Sales
stricted by limited offerings.
There was very little done in wool. The
stock is reduced to small proportions, and the
bulk of the clip has evidently been marketed.
Mauger, Avery & Co., of New York, state that
Texas wools have arrived more freely and
have sold promptly at quotations. The high
prices paid in the interior by Eastern buyers
has had a tendency to restrict shipments.
Hides show more firmness, and buyers pay
quotations freely for all offerings.
Western produce continues dull, and weak-
ness continues ail along the line. Bacon is
easier, and for large lots liberal concessions
could be obtained. Flour is dull and hard to
move. Coffee is steady and unchanged. Gold
continues to decline, and closed in New York

The market has been quite active (he past

well sustained, on account of the very small
stock on (he market, particularly fine wools,
and holders have been able to realize a full
price for any desirable lot. Quite a number
of manufacturers have been looking arouSd
for fine fleeces, but the market is now almost
entirely bare, bome very choice new wool
has been received from 1 exas, and the be=t
lots of Northern California are in good con-
dition and meet with a ready sale, but there
is now very little else on the market that is
desirable. Supplies, however, are near at
hind^ Shearing is now very general through-
out the West, but to what extent manufac-
turers and dealers will opt rate on the start
remains to be seen. Choice clips of flue woi l

This standard preparation has from the
time of its gereral introduction received the
unqualified commendation of the beauty and
fasnion of the land. Its intrinsic excellence
and peculiar adaption to the toilet has se- ]
cured it an instant preference over every
article with which it has competed, a pre-
eminence due to no extravagant laudation of
its merits. No ladv has ever given it a tri
wiihout becoming its lasting patron, or lias I
failed to confirm fvery virtue the proprie-
tors cl->im in its behalf. To the sallow, tat-
tered, red or pimply complexion, It renders
a delicacy and charm the very counterpart l
of nature, and unlike other preparations,
conveys no suggestions of artificial appli-
ance. Reduced in price to one dollar, this I
really excellent article will command a wider
and more extended patronage than that hith-
erto acc rded to it; but that none may forego
a trial of a preparation that needs but to be
used to be recommended, It is moreover
temporarily offered in trial bottles at 85 cents.
