cheerful influence in business circles.
This great State event will bring to the
city hundreds of lookers-on, and many
business men of the interior will natu-

Luck.
There are some who profess not to be-
lieve in luck, but amoeg these Peter Gil-
lrn is not to be counted. Stealing a pas-

Waco, he was put ashore at Key West,
thereby raving him from being one of
the victims of the holocaust which has
so shocked the entire civilizsd world,
and coming to this city he began a round
of dissipation, and having escaped death
from corner grocery stufT, he visited th>-

poor whisky and fell head foremost from
the family circle, smashiDg a twenty five
dollar drum and yet only received a
si It bruise oa his head and a black eye.
The man is now as well as ever, and
ready for the next adventure.

Col. Aftlibcl S.-nltli'M Lccture.
(YsinoHall was well filled last night
with an audience representing the inte'-
ligence of our city, and embracing mai y
gentlemen of prominence, the occasior
being the lecture of Col. Ashbel Smith
on the subject: " Reminiscences <f
the Early History of Texas."
The lecturer appeared on the plat-
form with Col. A. M. Hobby,
President of the Galveston Historical
Society—under the auspices of which the
1< cture was delivered—who, in a few per-
tinent remarks, during which he congrat-
ulated the audience upon the great priv-
ilege they were enabled to enjoy at the
hands of so eminent a citizen of Texas,
introduced the spuaker.
Col. A*libel Smith proceeded after a
few fitting introductory expressions, to
the treatment of his subject, lie gave a
fuil and interesting re<cital of the history
i f the annexation of Texas to the Union,
developing many points of historical in-
terest iu connection with this great event
hitherto never made public in condensed
documentary form. His connection with
the evente of which he spoke, mar e
the subject of more interest than it
would have been in the hands of one
who has but the aid of dry records to in-
spire bim in his work. He closed by ad^
verting to the opinions of prominent
Texans, who figured in the early State
history, in regard to annexation, and
named among others Gen. Sam Houston
as a supporter of the annexation policy.
At the conclusion of the lecture, which
met wiih frtijuent spplause, and held
the <::ose attention of many old settlers
of Teza», who were observed present,
Col. J. S. Thrasher arose io his seat in
the audience, and, addressing the presi-
elent of the Historical Society, who was
seated on the platform, moved that the
thanks of the members of the society
aud the audience be return-d the lecturer
for his effort, 'i'h
carried.
The audience wss then thanked for
their presence by C'd. Hobby, after which

The synagogue of the congregation
B'Nai Israel presented a very brilliant
appearance yesterday, the occasion being
the celebration of the nuptial ceremonies
of Mr. William Friedlander and Miss
Clara Levy. I.ong before the appointed
hour, 4 p. m , all the seats were occupied
by the friends and relatives of the happy
pair, and euch of other denominations
and creeds as were attracted thither by
the interesting ceremony to be performed,
and by the time the bridal party made
their appearance even standing room
was unattainable.
tiie decorations
of the Synagogue were particularly
chaste, rich and beautiful; before the
altar on the raised dais was a beautiful
canopy of blue silk studded with silver
starB and supported by four posts covered
with silver foil, the whole being covered
with fine lace, and trimmed with orange
11 jwers and green leaves, while a chande-
lier, appropriately trimmed with white
silk, flowers and lace, hung pendant from
the center of the canopy. The altar also
wiis covered with white silk trimmed
with silver fringe and wreathes of flow-
ers. Around the gallery the same taste
was diiplayed, and each of the gas jets,
ail of which were lighted, were similarly
decorated. This was the work of Mr. L.
Cj.hr, the sexton of the Synagoge, assist
ed by his wife, who was given a carte
blmche to prepare the decorations in the
most tasteful manner.
the bridal party.
At ten minutes; past four o'clock the
j >yous psals of the organ announced the
arrival of the high contracting parties,
and soon the beautiful bride,accompanied
by Mr. Leon Blum, marched up the aisle,
followed by the groom with Mrs. Blum,
and Mr. Hyman Blum with Mrs. Lander,
the last namea with Mr. and Mrs. Blum
as witnesses in Icco parentis, to the bride
and groom, and supported by the fol
lowing bridesmaids and groomsmen :
Mr. Meyer Levy with Miss Netty Davis; |
Mr. J. Friedlander with Miss Betty Eld-
ridge ; Mr. A. Levy and Miss Cecile
Blum ; Mr. Aaron Blum with Miss Julia
Kiam ; Mr. CharlesJ Heidenheimer with
Miss Nora Eidridge ; Mr. Edward Kauf-
man with Miss Rosa Maas. The ushers,
under the charge of Mr^Edward Manes,
who was master of. ceremonies, ranged
themselves at the door and along the
c -ntral aisle.
the ceremony
was particularly interesting and im-
pressive, and was admirably rendered by
the lUbbi, Dr. Blum. The invocation,
the blessing of the ring, the drinking
from the two cups—emblematical of joy
and sorrow, the crushing of the cup by
ties groom, the emblems of faith in Je-
hovah, the pronouncing of the parties
man and wife, with the blessing, were
all witnessed by those present with the
deepest interest. At the conclusion of
the ceremonies followed the bridal kiss,
after which the party moved rapidly out
of the synagogue to the inspiring notes
of the Wedding March. .
the toilets
of the bride and her bridesmaids were
superb, and were the envy of many of
the tichly-dressed ladies present.
The party proceeded at once to the
residence of Mr. Leon Blum, where the
wedding reception was held.
'I he Condition
Of Mr. Fred. Walthew, who accident-
ally shot himself a few days ago, was de-
cidedly better yesterday. The physi-
cians in attendance have performed a
surgical operation, consisting of opening
the wound through the shoulder-blade
so that it is constantly relieving itself
while the patient lies on his back, the
on'y position he can occupy comfortably.
The sufferer bears up well under his
e llliction, and during yesterday recuper-
ated even more than his attendants had
reason to expect.
'Fremont Opera House.
The Opera House was filled to over-
flowing last evening on the occasion of
the representation of the Little Detec-
tive, by the electric little Lotta. The
large audience was in the best of humor
during the whole evening, and applause
s»*t frequent.

of age, and looks more like a young collegian
than a criminal. His connections aie v»ry
respectable, on whom this disgrace falls with
peculiar force.
Judj^e Morrill, in delivering the sentence on
the i't i*oner, was very feeling in his remarks
commenting on the consequences of a viola-
tion of a law of nature and the inevitable
punishment which is sure to follow, whether
the violation be of the age of discretion or a
mere babe, so should it be in the case of a
violation of human laws, though in the latter
instance it is the province of the court to
often temper justice with mercy, when in the
opinion of the Judge such a course is deemed
advisable, and, continued his honor, this
seems to be such a case, and as all the money
alleged to have beeu stolen has been refunded
to the postoffice department I shall give the
low«s»t penalty the law allows, one year in the
penitentiary.

F. Loveless, charged with assaulting and

trial. The evidence of the wiJe was directly
to the point, but the accused asked for a
chance to make an explanation, which re-
quest was granted. The charge alleged wa=*
admitted, but the Loveless husband stated
ihat the provocation was too great to be
resisted, and it was only after being kicked
out of bed by Madam Loveless, that he
yielded to the promptings of nature, and in-
ilir ted the injury complained of. His Honor,
though a married man, did not deem the kick-
ing by a wife a sufficient legal excuse of a
battery by a husband, and therefoie fined
Mr. Loveless thirty dollars and costs, and also
required him to furnish a peace bond in the
sum of §350, to keep tho peace lor twelve
months.

for the President, if no harsher construc-
tion may be placed upon the act.
Indianapolis Ijentinel: The country
will watch this very closely, and
step further thau this will lead the coun
try to believe that Mr. Grant was insin
cere when he said that no guilty man
should escape, and that he only meant by
that phrase a little buncombe to cheek
the tide of approbation that was going
out toward Bristow.
Cincinnati Commercial: Mr. Hender
son's error scarcely warrants Mr. Grant's
hasty rebuke. If he (Mr. G) was wholly
inculpable, he could easily have afforded
to show his usual imperturbability until
it was demonstrated that none of the
sources of corruption were found near
the White House.
Chicago Times: There is certainly not
in the citationn from Mr. Henderson's
speech a single word or expression which
anyone possessing an intelligent under
standing of the obligation of our public
servants to obey the law as their only
master can construe as an improper re
flection upon G rant. But the pretense
that Mr. Henderson is dismissed for
words spoken in his speech on the Avery
trial, words which contributed to the
conviction of a guilty rflice-holder, ia a
palpably false and ridiculous pretense,
Mr. Henderson is dismissed lest Mr,
Grant's guilty parasite, Babcock, should
not escape.
Baltimore Sun : There can be no di
vision of opinion that the language at-
tributed to Mr. Henderson as used to
ward the President was unbecoming
under the circumstances, but it is uuder
s'ood that Mr. Henderson disclaimed
such language. His dismissal will be
interpreted, whether justly or not, as a
direct attempt in the interest of General
Babcock.
Baltimore Gazette : As the country is
greatly indebted to General Henderson
for the successful prosecution of the
whisky ring, and his efforts have brought
about the indictment of General Bab
co k, this manifestation of sensitiveness
in a President who has shown himself
utterly oblivious of public opinion will
be received with distrust and suspicion.
New York Evening Post: If the
Washington administration had been
keenly sensitive and self-respectful, and
had possessed the entire respect of the
people.it would instantly have dismisFed
Henderson, and would hare been sus
tained by the public in doing so. But
the time for this prompt ar.d dignified
action hss passed. The removal of Hen-
derson after his offense had been over-
looked, after ho had made a disclaimer
of intentional disrespect, and just upon
the indictment of Babcock, was a mis-
take, to sr.y the leas'. Public, opinion
may be very hasty and very uncharitable,
but the logic of this situation is unan-
swerable, and no power on earth will
ever be able to change the general ver-
dict, in caee of B ibcock's acquittal, that
it was secured by the interference of the
President. This action, consequently,
seems to us to be, in whatever light it is
viewed—in its effect upon the pending
prosecutions, upon the country, upon the
President and upon Gsn. Babcock—a
very serious blunder.
New York lie raid : The discharge of
ex-Senator Henderson from the manage-
ment of the whisky trials in S'. Lou'p,
w ll make an unfortunate impression on
the public mind. It is regretable that a
difficulty has arisen between the Presi-
dent and Mr. Henderson just at the point
when the services of so energetic a pros-
ecu'or are needed to enforce the injurc-
tion, " Let no guilty man escape." If he
has given offense to the President it
would have been better to let the affront
pass unnoticed, when both the interests
of justice and the honor of the White
House are so deeply involved. The P f£?J
dent fhould subordinate his personal re-
se i'men-s to his official duties.
New York Sun,: Mr. Henderson may
have trodden near enough to barely
touch the President's corns ; but in the re-
port of his remarks which we have seen,
there was nothing which seemed to make
his removal necessary.
New York World : It is difficult to un-
derstand how Secretary Bristow can re-
concile it with his own self-respect to re-
main in the Cabinet after this removal
has been forced upon him.
Mapleson is not to visit the United

Liter Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK. HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres-
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder-
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some-
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the boweh in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with laz ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panicd with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with 9 painful sens*tion
of having left undone something
which oujht to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at-
tendant. The patient complains tff
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
mid he complains of a prickly sensa-
tion of the skin ; his spirits are Jpw ;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis-
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but-cases have occurred where few
of th<m existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
liver to have been extensively de-
racgcd.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Da. c. M'lane's Liver. Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the mosr happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflictcd with this
disease to give them a fai.i trial.

RHEUMATISM CURED.
Dr. John Finn:
Dear Sir—I feel it a duty to suffering hu
mamanity. no less than to your unparalleled
medicine, to thank you for having rescued me
from a fate infinitely worse than death.
For ten years I have been afflicted with
rheumatism to such an extent as to., render
life intoleiable, and there has been no period
of time in the last two years that I would not
have hailed death as the kindest boon that
heaven could bestow. I had been treated by
such eminent doctors as Ayres, Byrne, the
late Geo. Cochman, Wilde. Palmedo, and
others, of Brooklyn, New York; Professors
Stone and Beamis, of New Orleans, and some
in this city, but they all failed until, through
the mercy of Providence, I called upon you
and took your wonderful medicines, which,
in the short space of ten days, has aflected a
perfect and radical cure. Your much obliged
and sincere friend, JAS. W. McCLOSKY.

Dr. John Finn:
Dear Sir—I was afflicted with Chronic Rheu-
matism for tbe last five years, and have been
tor several weeks at a time confined to my
bed, and going upon crutches. After fifteen
days taking your medicine, as directed, I am
completely cured. Indeed I have not felt so
well in many years. Thanking you kindly, I
