duplicate in Galveston the superintendent of the
Oulf City Cotton Press writes: " I have compressed
in three seasons SfcO.OOO bales WITHOUT ONE

Is 700 to $00 bales iu ten hours, and on some occa-

friction, its movements are> smooth and noiseless;
find as the whole power is directly applied to the
tale without intervention Of levers, cog gearing or
Other devices common to other forms of com-
presses, its work is performed at less cost of fuel
fc>er bale than any press in use.*
When used in combination with Riesel's Bale
Ejector, which discharges the pressed bale as soon
as the press opens, thereby relieving the men from
that labor, 100 bales per hour can be compressed
and tied.
The capacity of the press is 2000 tons, and this is
applied to eack bait* pressed.
These presses are built in the very best manner,
and with all the care that skill arid experience can
tommand, and are guaranteed in all their details.

THE HIGHER COTTHT8.
Galveston Term, 1883.]
[Information upon any question concerning the
higher courts will be promptly given by our court
reporter. Lock-box, 129, Galveston. Texas.]
Supreme Oonrt.
Dillon vs. Kauffman & Rungb—From
Gaiveston eountv. Opinion by Chief Justice
Willie. Dillon & Hali were partners, and dis-
solved. Dillon agreed with Hall in the final
settlement that Hall should convey him the
former's half-interest in certain property, and
that Dillon would release him from liability on
the $6000 note by taking it up and giving his
individual note instead. Kauffman & Runge
then took up the $*>000 note and the holders
thereof transferred it to them by indorsement
without recourse, and also delivered to them
the deed of trust given to secure it. Then fol-
lowed the execution of a new note signed bv
Dillon alone, made payable to Kautfraan &
Runge for the same amount, and bearing the
same interest as the firm note, and the execu-
tion also of a new deed of trust upon Drecisely
the same property that was includea in the
old one which was released at the same time
by the trustees named in it. Held, K. & R.
were thereby subrogated to the lien upon the
property. Talcing additional personal security,
or the individual note of the original signers
and embracing additional property in the deed
of trust does not affect the lien upon such
property as was originally included in the
security. One piece of property covered by
the deed of trust became the homestead of
Dillon and family a few weeks before the sub-
rogation took place. Held, so far as the deed
held by the first party is concerned no home-
stead right was acquired aud it can not prevail
against the subrogated lien of K. & R. and was
subject to be sold for the satisfaction thereof.
Affirmed. <
Howard vs. Mayor, etc., op Houston—
From Harris county. Opinion by Chief Jus-
tice Willie. In this case the act incorporating
the city of Houston not only does not prescribe
-the summary remedy which is claimed the city
should have pursued, but it specially permits
au action of debt, and the mode of procedure
by seizure and sale of the property is pre-
scribed in a different statute long subsequently
adopted. This is cumulative of the remedy
pursued in this case, and not exclusive erf iw
The court below properly held, that the appel-
lee could recover its ad valorem taxes by an
action at law. The charter in force at the time
made all taxes on real estate a lien and charge
upon tho property, aud* all taxes due were al-
lowed to be collected by an action of debt in
any court having jurisdiction: and the city
was allowed to adopt, as near as circumstances
would permit, the same mode and manner of
assessing and collecting taxes as might be pre-
scribed oy law for assessing and collecting
State taxes. If there was a manner prescribed
by law for the collection of State and county
taxes different from that of bringing suit for
them, toe city would have two remedies to en-
force her taxes, an action at law and the sum-
mary proceeding prescribed by the statute.
The act of July 4, 1879, did not repeal the sec-
tions allowing the above privileges, but gave
to the city another remedy for the enforce-
ment of its taxes. Affirmed.
Toblervs. Willis & Bro.—From Galves-
ton county. Opinion by Justice Stay ton. On©
Winn desiring to purchase goods from appel-
lees. appellant wrote them that if they would
sell him goods to the amount of $3000 that ap-
i^llaut would pay for them if Winn did not.
Winn was "to purchase his merchandise on
open account, ami on regular terms, * * *
and so long as he continues to buy * from
your house, I am responsible for and promise
to pay you any debit you may have agains£ .
him "to the extent * * of "$3000"—future.
Held, this guaranty contemplated a course
of dealing and for an indefinite period of time
and succession of purchases, and this course of
dealing was subject to be terminated at the
wish of either party, there being no period
fixed by the instrument itself during which the
business or course of dealing to which the
guaranty related should continue. The extent
of the guaranty was fixed. The continuance
was to be ;,so long as he (Winn) continues to
buy * * from your house." Whenever
appellees' consent was withdrawn the business
necessarily terminated.
The contract of guaranty not being ambigu-
ous, .parol evidence could not be had to show in
contradiction of its legal effect, that it was in-*
tended thereby for a lixed period of time, to
confer upon Winn the right to purchase goods
on credit and provided that credit did not ex-
ceed $3000 Affirmed.

Interesting- Tests as to the Keepi&g
Quality of Baking Powders*
One of the most important qualities of a per-
fect baking powder is that of retaining its
strength for a length of time in any climate
and in all conditions of the atmosphere. Most
baking powders, after being exposed to the
air a short time, or if not used when first made,
will become lumpy or cake in the can. This
condition is caused by the ingredients having
acted upon each other, and whenever found is
a sure indication that the powder has lost its
strength. Some experiments recently made
by Professor Schedler, of New York, with old
samples of Royal Baking Powder will prove
interesting to all consumers of these useful ar-
ticles. A grocer in Providence. R. L, found in
a neglected corner of his store sev eral boxes
of the Royal brand bearing an ancient
label, which he ascertained had been in
his stock over ten years. Knowing that most
baking powders lost their strength shortly af-
ter combination, he supposed this to be worth-
less, and threw it away. A porter took a box
home, and upon using a portion was surprised
to find that biscuits raised from it were per-
fectly light, sweet and excellent. A sample
%-as thereupon sent to Professor Schedler,who,
upon a careful test, found that this powder, af-
ter having been for ten years exposed to the
atmosphere—£or it was not in an air-tight
package—had lost in strength less than one-
half of one per cent. _ In another instance, a

Baking Powder. The journey
tour around the world, besides a visit
to several countries off the regular route, and
consumed over two years time. The baking
powder was opened for use iu Liverpool, Lon-
don, "Marseilles, on the Mediterranean, while
crowing Persia, Bombay, Madagascar, Cape
Town, Calcutta. Hong Koug, while on the Pa-
cific, aud in California. It was subject to ail
the variableness of climate through which it
passed, the dampness of the ocean air, the
heats of the equatorial latitudes, the fogs of
London aud tlie rainy season of California.
Upon returning to New York a quantity re-
maining iu the can was turned over to Profes-
sor Schelder for analysis, the result of which,
showed the powder to possess the same
of strength and raising power as when it wag
made, there being after all this time aad un-
der all these circumstances no deterioration
perciptible. /
Oue of the great merits of the Royal Baking
Powder is this superior keeping quality, which
is due to the care used in its manufacture. All
its ingredients, being first determined abso-
lutely pure, are thoroughly dried, coated, pre*
pared and combined so that nothing but the
application of water or the heat of cooking
will cause them to act upon each other or Hb-
erate their leavening gases. For this reason
tlie 44 Royal" when used after having been
kept in any climate, or for any length of time,
will always produce the same superior and
effective results. ^
Sheep and Wool*
Six hundred sheep of the American merina
variety were recently shipped from Washing-
ton county, Pennsylvania, to Texas, for breed-
ing purposes.
Clorado Clipper: Sheep that were properly
cared for during the summer and fall months
have wintered without loss. A few flock-
masters, who had acclimated flocks or who per-
mitted the ravages of scab, are hunting mar-
kets for their pelts and pulled wool. Sheep
have vindicated the fact, that when well carea
for, that when the range care is even moderate
and the scab is kept in check, they, too, like
the cattle kick up tueir heels and be merry
when the spriug-time appeal's. Our muttons
as a rule have wintered well, and shipments in
this line will perhaps be earlier than those of
cattle.
Uvalde Hesperian; Flock-masters, in their
eagerness for numbers, have made the mistake
of allowing their laniosto come too early in Feb-
ruary, consequently the unexpectedly cold
weather in that month has been the cause ot
much loss, the earliest lambs not being strong
enough to endure it.
The bone of contention among the' medical
fraternity can no longer be considered St.
Jacobs Oil, since druggists whose varacity is
not to be doubted, and eminent physicians like
A. A. Waite, of Pittsfield, Mass., give and cor-
roborate their testimony cheerfully and with-
out solicitation. This speaks volumes. [Provi-

Dr. Jos. Holt, New Orleans, La., says: " I

TVeather and Crops.
Wise County Messenger: Farmers from dif-
ferent parte of the county express satisfaction
with the prospect for the wheat crop.
Dallas County Mesquiter: Farmers are
worse behind with their work in these parts
than they have been for several years. Too
much rain aud too much cotton.
Jasper Texan: Farmers have again been in-
terrupted by too much rain last week. From
every section we learn that farmers are behind
with their work, owing to the great abundance
of rain and cold weather.
Uvalde Hesperian: Tho Nueces, Frio and
Sabiual canyons were visited by fine rains las^ J
week.... Judge Patterson, who was in towaa
last week, informs us that the farmers in Frto
canyon are busy planting corn; that the wht*t
and oat crops, though scorched a little by the
late Jree7.es. are doing well, and that the young
grass is growing finely.
Some of the railroad companies in the
northwest have come to the conclusion that a
belt of trees furnishes the best protection for
their tracks from snow, and are planting
hardy varieties on a large scale.
