Nightmare and nadueM.
The Marquis of Salisbury's speech,
conveying the assurance of a pacific
policy on the part of the Ministry, is
eloquent with the common sense which
usually distinguishes English states-
manship when called to grapple with
great and critical problems. His re-
marks on the relations of England to
the pending war may be extended into
general precepts which have pertinency
and value far beyond his own country.
"It has generally been acknowledged
to be madness to go to war for an idea,
he says, " but, if anything, it is still
more unsatisfactory to go to war against
a nightmare." It would be difficult
to name any of the great and
calamitous wars of modern times,
national or intestine, which an
exhaustive investigation as to
their origin and their moral causes and
conditions would not resolve into the
madness of contending against a night-
mare or the madness of resorting to
slaughter and devastation for the pur-
pose of establishing or overthrowing
an idea. We have reference to wars in
which whole nations, or vast bodies of
people occupying a common country,
come into conflict and not only willing-
ly, but passionately, engage in the grim
business of mutual destruction. Col
lective masses of men arrayed
against each other can have
neither personal resentments nor
personal interests to incite them to
"march to their graves like beds," to
butcher and be butchered, and leave
the scenes of their strifes to triumphant
desolation. On one or the other side
arms are taken up against some night-
mare. Some groundless terror, some
panic more cruel than any personal
hate, sweeps through a population, and
as one man a nation, a section, a politi-
cal party or a religious sect is seized by
an epidemic impulse to war and carnage.
England has not been wholly exempt
from these frenzies. But her common
sense usually reasons down the exag-
gerations of fancy that tend to en-
velop the land with some horrible
illusion. France is beset with night-
mares. Every party in that country is
a nightmare to every other. The Re-
public is a nightmare to the legitimist,
the imperialist, theultramontanist. The
ultramontane or clerical party is a
nightmare to the Republic and to all
the secular parties. But the nightmare
which for France looms above all
all others is Germany. On the other
hand, the nightmare which for Ger-
many looms above all others is France.
Could the populations of the two
countries know each other, as individu-
als face to face, they would wonder
that they had not always been friends;
they would recognize in each other
members of one civilization and one of
Christian fraternity, and would feel
that as such it was alike their interest
and their duty to maintain with each
other relations of peace and kindly re-
ciprocity. But to the average
Frenchman Germany is a phantasmal
monster of malignity and rapine,
glaring across the border and intent
upon the humiliation and ruin of
France; and to the average German
France is a phantasmal monster of am
bition, subtlety and vengeance, content
with nothing short of dismembering
and crushing the Fatherland. Thus
each nation lives, as regards the other,
in the somnambulism of a horrible
dream. Nor can Americans
boast entire exemption from
epidemic illusions of this nature.
When the philosophical historian comes
to review the war between the sections,
he will probably judge that it was a
war of sheer madness, the North fight-
ing against a nightmare called the
slave power, and the South against a
nightmare called variously abolitionism
and free-soilism. In periods of high
party excitement in this country the
imagination of each party is apt to con-
jure up a nightmare in the supposed de-
signs of the other, and herein lies one
of the great dangers—perhaps the
greatest danger—of our political con-
troversies.
The Picayune makes reference to a
letter from a prominent merchant of
Valparaiso to the President of the New
Orleans Chamber of Commerce to prove
that as far down the coast as Chili,
New Orleans is looked to as the future
source of supply for many articles of
consumption in that country. The
writer thinks that a large trade could
be speedily built up along the Western
coast o f South America, both by way
of Panama and through the Straits of
Magellan. The English have two lines
of steamers plying between Panama
and Valparaiso, but one of them could
do all the business. A line from New
Orleans, making connection with the
Panama Railroad, and one of the lines of
steamers mentioned would, no doubt,
develop a paying business. The Ameri-
can products most in demand in the
countries alluded to are coarse pro
ductions of cotton, bleached and brown
domestics, sheetings, shirtings and
drillings, tickings, prints, calicoes,
edge tools, sewing machines, clocks,
agricultural implements and machinery,
furniture and timber goods from ash,
oak and walnut, hog products, flour,
and sugar. Galveston merchants may
learn something to their advantage
from the suggestions made in the letter
referred to by the Picayune. Cities of
the North and East are interesting
themselves in South American trade
relations, and Galveston must not oc-
cupy the position of a disinterested
looker on.

On yesterday the Barrilla stage station be-
tween Stockton and Fort Daris, was attacked
by a party of Indians and six mules belonging
to the stage company, and a horse belonging
to the station-keeper, were captured and car-

WESTERN TEXAS WIDE AWAKE.
Grand Movement for Protection of
Life aud JProperty—Convention of
i'eu Counties at Gollad-Libfrai
Subscription to Maintain the State
Police.
[Special Telegram to the News.]
Goliad, June 12, 1877.
Representatives of ten counties of the west
assemoled in convention yesterday for the
purpose of raising a fund to be loaned to the
State in the maintenance of Lieut. Hall's
command after the exhaustion of the present
State appropriation for that purpose. A full
meetiug, with harmonious action, was had,
which is indicative of tne earnestness of the
law-abiding people here in the matter of
keeping the State Police in the field.
Tne resolutions adopted were to the point,
and the sum of seven thousand three hundred
dollars was subscribed by those present, H.
Runge & Co , of Cuero, alone subscribe! three
thousand dollars, and Coleman, Mathis & Ful-
ton, of Rockport, one thousand dollars. A
committee, which was appointed to solicit in
western counties, will unquestionably raise a
sufficient amount to keep the command in the
field for six months.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas an urgent necessity exists for the
services of Lieut, ti all's command in the sup-
pression of the lawlessness and crime in
Western Texas for the period of at least six
months: therefore
Resolved*, That we furnish the means to re-
tain said command in the State service for
the period by paj ment in two installments,
one of which snail be promptly made at this
time, and the remainder at the expiration of
three months; such payments to be made
and deposited with H. Runge & Co., of Cuero,
subject to the order of the Adjutant General
of the State, and paid out by said Runge &
Co. upon the order of the Adjutant General.
The aforesaid dep«jiifc is a loan to the Srate
of Tf xas, to be refunded by an appropriation
of the next Legislature. We find the cost,
including the pay and subsistence, of a com-
mand of thirty-one men to be about twenty-
four hundred dollars per month; that the
cost of subsistence is about one thousand dol-
lars alone for said command.
Resolved, That a committee of three citizens
from each county in this meeting represent-
ed, and one from each county not represent-
ed. to solicit subscriptions for funds to subs st
and pay said command and. if practicable, to
increase the numbers and the duration of
their service.
Resolved further^ That we earnestly request
the co-operation and assistance of the law-
abiding cit'zens of Texas t«» aid us in keeping
said command in the field while their services
may be required to protect the life aud pro-
perty of our citizens.
Resolved, That we tender the thanks <>f the
citizens of this section of Texas to said com-
mand for the efficient service already render-
ed by them.
Resolved, That the Galveston News and the
entire press of the State be requested to pub-
lish these resolutions. II. P JORDON,
of Victoria, President.
Charles Roberts, of Goliad, Secretary.
The annual commencement exer-
cises of Baylor University and Baylor

TILDEN GIVES A TALK.
Speech of tlie Distinguished Ex*
Governor at tlie Hendricks Ban-
quet Last Mlglit.
New York, June 12.—Gov. Tilden made a
brief speech at the recept on at Manhattan
Club to-night in honor of Gov. Hendricks,
w^o is here with M s. H., bound for Europe.
After alluding to the departure of Gov. Hen-
dr.cks to-morrow, with best wishes for a
prosperous voyage and safe return, he said:
Everybody knows that after the recent
election the men wbo were elected by the
eople President and Vice President of the
nited States were counted out, and men
who were not elected counted in and seated.
I disclaim any thought of the personal wrong
involved in this transaction. Not by any
act or word of mine sqall be dwarfed or de-
graded into a personal grievance, which is. in
truth, the greatest wrong that has sramed
our national annals
To every man of the 4,250,000 who were
defrauded of the fruits of the election fran-
chise, it is as great a wrong as it is to me, and
no less to every man of the minority in the
ultimate consequences. Evils in government
grow by success and impurity; they do not
arrest their own progress; they can never be
limited except by eternal forces.
If the men in possession of the government
can, in one instance, maintain themselves in
power against an adverse decision at elec-
tions. such an example will be imitated.
Temptation exists always. Devices to give
color of law, and false pretenses on whicft to
found fraudulent decisions, will not be want-
ing The wrong will grow into a practice if
condoned.
In the world's history changes in the suc-
cession of governments have usually been
the result of fraud or force. It has been our
faith and our pride that we had established a
mode of peaceful change to be worked out by
the agency of the ballot-box.
The question now is whether our election
system, in the substance as well as its form,
is to be maintained. This is a question of
questions Until it is finally settled there can
be no policies founded on inferior questions
of administrative policy. It involves «he fun-
damental right ©f the people. It involves the
elective principle. It involves the whole sys-
tem of popular government.
The people must signally condemn the
great wrong which has been done to them.
They must strip the example of everything
that can attract imitations. They must re-
fuse a prosperous immunity to crime. This
is not all. The people will not be able to
trust the authors or beneficiaries of the
wrong to devise remedies; but when those
who condemn the wrong shall have the
power, they must revise the measure which
shall render a repetition of the wrong forever
impossible.
If my voice could reach throughout our
country and be heard in its remotest hamlet,
I would sav be of good cheer. The Republic
will live. The institutions of our fathers are
not tc expire in shams. The sovereignty of
the people shall be rescued from this peril
and re established. Successful wrong Lever
appears so triumpnant as on the eve of its
fa 1.
Seven years ago a corrupt dynasty culmi
nated in its power over the million people who
live in the city of New York. It appeared to
be invincible. A year or two later its mem-
bers were in the penitentiary or in exile. His-
to*y abounds in similar examples. We must
believe in the right and in the future a great
and noble nation will not sever its political
from its moral life.
MEMPHIS.
Widespread Damage by tlie Hccent
It alii storm.
Memphis. June 12.—The damage caused by
the heavy rain storm in Northern Mississippi
on Friday is very great. In many instances
the crops were ruined entirely, fences swept
away and stock drowned. The damage to
the Mississippi and Tennesses, the Mississippi
Central and Memphis and Little Rock, Mobile
and Ohio and Memphis and Charleston rail-
roads has been repaired, and trains are run-
ning to day as usual. On the Memphis and
Louisville road the bridge "over the Hatchie
river was swept away, but the road hopes to
send out trains to morrow and transfer at
that point. The Memphis and Paducah Rail-
road is badly damaged, and several days will
be required to repair the track.
THE RUSSO TURKISH WAR.
Summary o£ tlie Situation—Tlie Ar-
mies on the Danube Noisy and
Watchful—A. Great Battle Ahead
in Asia*
London, June 12 —There is almost an utter
absence of news of interest either from Asia,
the Danube or Montenegro. The two armies
on the Danube are watching one another and
cannonading frequently, but the Russians
have not disclosed their intentions. The
Turks report a Russian attempt on Saturday
to cross the Danube at Rustchuk, which was
alleged to have been repulsed. This is un-
worthy of much attention, as the attempt
certainly was not serious. A St. Petersburg
telegram to-day says it was merely the can-
nonading of sappers who were working at
Giurgevo.
From Asia there is nothing later than the
evacuation on Saturday of Olti by the Rus
sians and their retreat to Penak.
A Reuter telegram from Erzeroum gives
the number of Russians at Penak at 4000 men
and nine guns, while the Turkish corps which
reoccupied Olti consisted ol six battalions,
two batteries and 1000 cavalry. Both Russian
and Turkish accounts agree that the can-
nonading at Kars is ineffectual and indecisive.
A special from Vienna to the Tinier has the
following: Telegrams from Apia seeci to indi-
cate that there is no longer that feeling of
despondency which was so marked in late ac-
counts frorn Turkish sources, and t^at a bat
tie will be risked iu the A raxes valley. The
only question is whether the Russians will at-
tack the Turks in the position they
have chosen or push forwarl the
column coming from Olti towards Erzeroum
and thus turn the Turkish flank. The fiying
columns which Mouhktar Pasha has tent
agamst the Kussans at Olti show that the
Turks are aware of this danger, but it re-
mains to be seen whether they can obviate it
and spare sufficient force to check the
eventual advance of the Russians over the
pass leading direct from Olti to the head of
the valley of the Wes:ern Euphrates and Err-
ezjum.
A special dispatch from Bucharest to the
Xews states that peace rumors n ay be treated
as utterly groundless.
miscellaneous Notes.
London. June 12 —The correspondent of the
Times at Berlin sends the to lowing: Orders
have been issued by the Russian government
to accelerate as much as possible the levy of
218 000 men. Despite this the opinion con-
tinues to prevail here that Russ a wishes to
settle with Turkey on a basis of the nominal
integrity of Turkey in Europe
New York, June 12.—A special says yester-
day the Russians commenced to bombard
Rustchuk. Their batteries opened a vigorous
cannonade and continued with little intermis-
sion throughout the entire day. The • urks
returned the fire with animation. On Friday
last divers from Turkish ships succeeded in
picking up torpedoes placed by Russians in
Matchim channel below Widdin.
A correspondent at Constantinople reports
the Softas again becoming troublesome. Ten
Softas, supposed to be ringleaders, have been
arrested.
Private accounts received in Constantino-
ple from Erzeroum represent the Turkish
army iu Armenia in a s-*il condition; ill
clothed and fed. and commanded. The Turks
were rapidly retreating before the Russians,
and Erzeroum is not expected to hold out six
week-. Its occuDation by the Russians is a
foregone conclusion.
London, June 12.—It is beginning to be gen-
erally understood that Russia is endeavoring
to subsidize the press, and that she is evi-
dently preparing the public mintf for her
forthcoming occupation of Con tantinople.
Meanwhile rumors of decided Turkish suc-
cesses on the line of the Danube and im-
provement of Turkish prospects in Asia con-
tinue to gain ground. The financial pros-
pects of neither belligerent are entirely hope-
ful.
It is said important negotiations are pend-
ing between the English government and the
Khedive in reference to protection of Briti.h
interests in Egypt
i 'A special from Athens to the Standard says
the Greek army is to be reorganized. Thirty
thousand men are to constitute the standing
force. In 1873 the army was fixed at only
12,39V men.
Lords Derby and Salisbury at a
Bauquei-^ootliins Words.
London, June 12.— At a banquet of the mer-
chant tailors' school last evening Lords Der
by and Salisbury made speeches, in which
they asssumed a remarkably pacific tone.
Tlie Marquis of Salisbury concluded: It has
generally been acknowledged to be madness
to go to war for an idea; but, if anything, it
is yet more unsatisfactory to go to war
against a nightmare. I will not say that we
have any enemy. Although it is generally
supposed that this war has been concocted
against English interests, I believe it may be
looked at in another light. Be steaifast "and
calm. Do not mistake panic for real danger,
or phantoms for realities; but if real danger
arises, if your interests are threatened, we
will effectually defend them at any cost.
Lord Derdy said he could only repeat the
Marquis of Salisbury's excellent argument.
We must remember this; that the greatest of
aU Britain's interests is her right of peaee.
The Times, in a leading article, says the
Marquia of Salisbury's and Earl Derby's
speeches at the banquet of the Merchant
Tailors' School, last evening, coming imme-
diately after the presentation of Gortscha-
koff's letter, will give intense satisfaction to
the whole country bv showing that the gov
eminent, while watchful of all real British in-
terests, will not pour out the blood and trea-
sure of the country in defense of Lightmares
or chimeras.
FRANCO-GERMAN RELATIONS.
A Row Between French and Ger-
man Sailors — Germany's f*actlic
Intentions Reiterated.
Berlin, June 11—It is stated that official
intelligence has been received from Yoko-
hama June 5th of an affray between some
men b longing to the German man-of-war
Elizabeth and a party- of French sailors.
One of the latter was killed and two mortally
wounded. The provocation apparently came
from the Frenchmen. Steps have been taken
to institute a searching and impartial inquiry
into t is lamentable occurrence.
Paris, June 11.—The Messager de Paris an-
nounces that Prince Hohenlohe, the German
Ambassador, gave the French government
yesterday the most satisfactory assurances
of Germany's pacific intentions.
The Francois asserts that the government
has resolved to prohibit the projected plenary
meeting of the group of the Left before the
assembling of the Chambers.
MacMAHON AND HIS TENURE.
Significant Speech to a Legitimist
Deputation.
London, June 12.—The Times Paris special
vouches for the accuracy of the |following re-
port of President MacMahon's reply to the
Legitimist deputation:
The President said: " My duty forbids that
I should risk a change of the elements com-
posing the present cabinet, seeing that it has
offended none of the powers with which
France is friendly. As to the Legitimist can-
didate. any Legitimist candidate really hav-
ing a chance of success, will be openly and
legally supported by the administration at the
election."
The question of prolonging my office will
not be considered during the prorogation of
the Chambers, and I shall lend myself to no
coup de main of any kind, nor to any venture
of imperial or m^narcliial restoration.
It will perhaps be necessary to demand a
dissolution of the Chambers. If you accord
it to me, shall use it as well as possible; if you
refuse it, I should withdraw.
Medals from the Pope to Americans*
London, June 12.—The Pope, yesterday,
gave a number of medals commemorative of
the jubilee, to be presented to American
ladies in recognition o? services in represent-
ing American Catholics on that occasion;
among the ladies thus honored are Mrs. Sher-
man of Washington; Mrs. Peterson, of St.
Louis, and Mrs. Saylor, of New Orleans. Mr.
Esting. of Philadelphia, was also given a
medal, and will convey the others to the Uni-
ted States and present them to the ladies in
the Pope's behalf.

The Administration's Mexican Pol-
icy— Evarts's Interview with in a-
riscal—Words with the Right
In an interview of an entirely cordial na
ture between Minister Mariscal and the Secre-
tary of 8tate, the former endeavored without
auccess to convince the Secretary that the
Mexican government would put a stop to the
depredations on the Texan frontier, and that
there would be no occasion for the United
States to carry out the vigorous policy an
nounced by the administration.
Secretary Evarts said that the government
had fully made up its mind, and would, as far
as it was in its power, protect its citizens on
the Rio Grande from the ravages they had
suffered for years at tho hands of Mexican
thieves and outlaws
He saw no reason why the citizens of that
part of the Union should not be as secure in
their lives and property as those of New York
and other States along the northern border.
Depredations from Mexico should no more be
overlooked than should similar outrages from
Canada.
At the same time the Secretary informed
the Minister that the United States had not
the remotest intention of seeking territory ex-
tension at the expense of the Mexican re-
Sublic. Any military expeditions across the
order would he solely for the purpose of
capturing banditti.
Alluding to-day to the posture of affairs
likely to grow out of the new policy, Secre-
tary Evartg said :
I anticipate no trouble with Mexico. All
we desire is the observance of our rights as a
sovereign power and the inviolability of
American soil.
These we must have, and as the Mexican
government has expressed a determination to
see that these two requests are observed,
there can be no cause for complication.
At the same time United States forces from
Laredo t^» Brownsville will be vigilant. They
have their instructions.
Deputy Frank*'# Case—The Louisi-
ana Delegation See Secretary Sher-
man.
Washington, June 12—In Deputy Marshal
Franks's case fraudulent accounts were pre
sented as evidence when Franks's counsel ob-
jected, al'eging that they had been sworn to
on blank and filed afterward in the Marshal's
office. The defense are allowed fifteen days
to establish this plea.
The colored Louisiana delegation had an in-
terview this morning with Secretary Sher-
man. Mr. Oglesby, who has been appointed
Assistant Appraiser, will not be disturbed.
Mr. W. G. Brown, whom the committee re-
commended for the position, will receive, so
the Secretary says, a more prominent one.
They spoke or appointments in the custom-
house. and, in reply to a question whether he
thought one third of the patronage was toe
much for the colored people, he did not think
so. He will write Mr. King about the matter.
Following is an authorized report of what
Secretary Sherman said to the colored dele
gates from New Orleans; When they asked
him whether one-third was too large a share
of custom-house patronage, the Secretary re-
plied, if men of integrity were chosen, he
thought they were entitled to a fair share of
patronage, and further remarked that he
would write Collector King at New Orleans
upon the subject.
The bond of Col. Brady, recently appointed
collector of internal revenue for the Peters-
burg (Ya.) district, has been received at the
internal revenue office, and will be approved,
so that Collector Brady will immediately en-
ter upon his duties.
In view of the conflicting reports of the in-
terview held yesterday with the President by
the delegation headed by Marshal Turner, of
Alabama, the following authorized statement
is made: The gentlemen informed the Presi-
dent that after the return of ex Gov. Smith's
delegation from the Cincinnati convention
they failed even to meet as a committee and
didn't pretend to manage the canvass in Ala-
bama. That the canvass was managed en-
tirely by the Republican Committee, of which
Charles E. Mayer is chairman.
The President expressed some surprise at
this statement, and said that the appoint-
ments he had made in Alabama might have
been mistakes, but that he would not now re-
call them. He assured the delegates that he
would make removals only for cause; that
when an officer's term had expired he re-
garded that office as belonging to the appoint-
ing power to reappoint or appoint anew, as
might seem best.
The convertation then turned on the sub-
ject of carpetbaggers, when the President
said that he did not regard an a carpetbagger
a man who went south to become a bona fide
resident; only those who wen for the pur-
pose of h lding office as a matter of business
should be stigmatized as yarpefcbaggers.
The interview lasted an hour, and the gentle-
men of delegation left' wiih the impression
that the President would make no further
cnanges in Alabama, except for cause or
where the commissions of office expired.
Secretary McCrary, with Gen. Sherman and
staff, left for West Point.
The President commissioned Ben. B. Daville,
Postmaster at Suffolk, Va., and Jack Whar-
ton, Marshal of Louisiana.
Proceedings have been inaugurated against
Brigham Young for irregularities while In-
dian Agent in 1848-49. Implication of Brig-
ham Young with the Mountain Meadows mas-

The two delegations, representing the con-
tending factions of the Republican party in
Alabama, had interviews with Attorney Gene-
ral Devens this morning, in regard to the mar-
shalship and district atto neyship for that
State. One delegation favored the retention
of the present incumbent, while the other
urged that a change should be made in the
offices, and presented names for the positions.
The Attorney General, after hearing
both of the delegations, recommended
that they endeavor to reconcile their
differences and agree upon the appointment
of persons satisfactory to both factions of
the party. The present incumbents are Geo.
Turner, ^larshal, and C. E. Neager, District
Attorney. The opposing faction is divided
in the recommendations, having two candi-
dates for each position for the marshalship.
They present names of Samuel G. Reid and
State Senator Harris, and for District Attor-
ney the names of ex-Gov. Smith and Mr.
McAfee.

tions.

iu this city, a large number of whites voting
with them. Republicans generally voted
against convention. The total vote in the
State will be light.

Moxtgoherv, June 8.1877.
JJtt. AVuvi-Seeing in your issue of 5th Inst.,
under the head of new advertisements, that
of one C. C. Beers, M. D. i.formerly of Boston)
of the firm of Beers & Co., Birmingham, Conn.,
advertislnga harmless and guaranteeing a
permanent cure for "opium habit." it be-
comes my duty to make known to your read-
ers the circumstances of the sudden death of
Mrs Mattie Greeue, an estimable lady of this
county. She was accustomed to the use of
morphine, and wishing to rid herself of the
habit, applied by letter to Dr. Beers and ob-
tainad from him (tor $10) a box of pills labeled
"The Opium Eater's Hope," and on the
morning of May 10th last, commenced taking
them as per directions. After taking ihe
second piil she complained of dizziness and
double vision, but such was her confidence In
the remedy that she continued to take it until
six pills were taken as directed, the unpleas-
ant sympoms—stupor, unsteadiness of limbs,
dizziness, double vision—increasing all the
while. That night she slept as one almost
'lead, being aroused with difficulty, when she
drank water profusely. During the next day,
11th, she showed slight signs of delirium and
complained of seeing everything double—
nevertheless she took four more pills and by
everilng was in a semi-comatose condition, in
which she remained during the night. On the
morning of the 12th she complained of blind-
ness and great prostration, and in attempting
to rise and drink coffee was taken with a se-
vere convulsion. Dr. J. L. Irion, a physician
of twenty-five years experience, arrived about
thirty minutes after, and found Hrs. Greene
unconscious, breathing heavily, her lips and
nails deeply purple, purple around the Beck
and under the eyes, the pupils so dilated as to
present a mere rim of iris, a slight foam is-
suing from her mouth, extremities warm and
pulse about one hundred. In a few minutes
thereafter—just 48 hours after commencing
with Dr. Beers's medicine—she was a corpse,
cut off in the vigor of youth, through the ef-
fects, in the opinion of Dr. Irion, of a narcotic
poison, believed by him to be atropia. or ex-
tract of belladonna. J. E. W.

nio, but will return In time to meet the stock-
men at Goliad on the 11th. He told your re-
porter that if stockmen would advance the

tion to refund the money. Sergt. O. S. Watson
has come into Cuero and is rapidly recovering.

accepted, and, overjoyed at his suc-

can bore a hole through anything except*
