TExAs.-A letter from Houston, in Texas, tells the
following story
"The present advance Of Texas is unequalled by
any previous history of the world. In the town OF
Houston, now four months old, we have population
of two thousand inhabitants with about 400 respeca-
BILE strangers from the southern part Of the United
States principally land spectators as they are called
Lands are rapidly advancing. Lots in Houston have
been sold at $6000 which considered high three
months ago at S40o Southern energy and enter
prise are laying the foundation of some of the arg
est fortunes ever realized by any people, while you
Northern cold calculators are contented to make
hard earned living by picayunes. On moderate
assortment of goods received here in March by -
-, from New Orleans, IS per cent net profit was
realized by the parties who received the cash for their
goods"
The above extract is dated Houston (Texas) May
10Th, 1897. BY this it would appear that speculation
has left this country and gone TO Texas to pick up
living like any other loafer.

Since the suspension of specie payments, more
young gentlemen and ladies have fallen in love
more marriages have been contracted-nere hands
and hearts pledged to holy wedlock-more parsons
get fees-more wedding cake made than for the same
space of time previously, within the memory OF
the Oldest inhabitanL
On Wednesday evening beautiful matrimonial at
fair came off in Houston street. The parlor, that
held the little happy party fitted up as gracefully
as Hymen and Cupid together could have arranged
it, had they been both bred uphosterers. The lights
were brilliant the dresses splendid the cake and VINE
deeious-and all present as full OF happiness as
love--expectation- ebss-friendship, and
mutual kind wishes could make them.
The young and blushing bride, sat in all the purity
and levelness of innocence and white satn-a wreath
of white roses encircng her lovely head, where the
little loves were nesting and playing at DO peep. The
two beautiful BRIDES maids were dressed in pink
satn-how tasty and eegant!-and looked like the
smiling pictures of youth and loneliness
Mr.. G., the young bridegroom, sat in full dress-a
genemans full dress is SO little varied that it IS hard
ly worth deseribng-looking triumphanty happy
his lofty forehead showed mind that could appre-
cate his happy lot, aad bis beaming eye and the
smile that sat on his lip seemed to say-"I am the
off the precious prize from host Of contendng
rivals"
Rarely has more brilliant party been assembled even
At wedding than was seen on this joyous occasion.
There was the beautiful Miss c. who has more ad-
mrers than she can cosnt her fingers-the fingers
they all swear were stolen from the Medlcan Venus
She was dressed with singular taste and neaness,
just enough and just little enough Of decorations
Then there was Miss X. another favorlte belle
with an eye that would warm cynic into passion
Miss NJ whose form one imagines was conferred
upon being of the earth by some odd mistake which
deprived paradise Of one Of its pretest aHgels-and
Miss H belle, in whose enchanlment more than one
proud heart has luttered-but we cannot enumerate.
The gentlemen were gallant spirited, and attentive.
They all read the Herald and Chroncle-and conse-
quently have imbbed sentiments of gaantry and de-
votion to the sex, which make their company pecu-
liarly pleasing the fair. The affair passed off plea
saatly-our package Of cake came to hand-Heatly
enclosed in gilt edged paper-tied round with deli
cate white ribbon-with sweet rose, emblematc of
love, Hymen and happiness.

South AMERIcA.-The ship Leonidas, from Buenos

America.
Hostilities between Peru and Chill had not been
sumed, yet there was prospect they would be- at an
early day. 49,
The South American Republics are likely to be al
together by the ears.
Santa Cruz still adhered his project of ncorpo-
rating the republics of Peru and Bolivia into one body
polite, and constituting himself ruler thereof under
the title of protector; and Chill was still determined
oppose him, seeking for that purpose the aid Of the
Argentine Republic, and that Of Fl Ecuador. The
Chian squadron of ten vessels was stationed as fol-
lows:
Orbegoso brig and Monteagudo frigate watching
corvette and Aguites brig off Caao, 1.-THE Napoleon
transport had gone to the latter with provsloas);
Santa Cruz corvette gone to Chico, to bring men
for the Chill squadron; Arequipena brig, at Inter
medlcs to intercept Peruvian vessels; Li6ertao cor
vette fitting out at Valparaiso TO 60 with the expe-
dltion; PerucianG Coiocoio waiting orders at Val
paralsO.
We also learn that an expedition against Peru was
in preparation at Valparaiso. Santa Cruz levied
contribution of $780, 600 on the inhabitants of Lima.
The Chilian Congress had terminated its session.
having granted TO the president extraordinary powers
during the continuance of the war with Santa Cruz
who was anxious for peace, but would not give up
his proectorae, and had proposed to refer the qaes-
flares Of France and the United States, and the Br
fish consul at Lima to either of their governments,
which Chill refused. There were many in Peru, who
only waited an opportunity TO declare and exert them
selves against Santa Cruz
The insurgents were gaining ground in Rio Grande
Brazil. Bento Manuel is said to have joined their
ranks and it is reported that of the Imperalist
generals has been defeated by the enemy. The pro
liability is that Rio Grande will be severed from the
crown Of Brazil.
Senior Marquee, President Of New Granada in his
inaugural address says he Will maintain all sorts of
freedom of the press Of religion, and in short every
of every thing that he will enforce the laws, and
obey them himself with the most perfect obedience
and in short that he will be one Of the best presl-
dents that the world ever saw. One thing Senior
Marquee declares most unequivocaly -that New
Grenada's share of the debt originally contracted by
the Colombian Republic before its divlssn, shall be
paid TO the uttermost farthing; which will be good
news in London.
In Ckili, flour is at an exorbitant price, in conse-
quence OF the war with Peru.

We see that this individual is now in

mendations, extracts from advertisements
inserted by him in the U. s. Telegraph.
1t is proper that the public should know
that these recommendations were inserted
as advertisements by Mr.. Williams during
the absence OF the proprietor oftha; paper
that, upon inquiry, the latter is fully
convinced that Williams is an impostcr-
that his applications have but temporary
effect, which leave the eye invariably in a
worse condition. Under such circum-
stances, it is submitted to the editors and
publishers of newspapers to determine
how far they are responsible, and whether
they do dot become parties to the fraud
practised by Williams on the credulity OF
the poor and unfortunate by circulating the
