BAD SrATE.oF THrSG $ IN TExAs.-A letter
10 the Bulletin from Los Angeles, contains
the following;
An intelligent Texan, lately arrived here
from Texas, reports a terrible condition of
affairs as existing in that unhappy State, and
That large numbers are leaving for California
who are sick of Secession" He says there
Is no security for life or property there, either
against the Indians or the Seceseionists. He
says that if the latter iEd that man, even
OF their own kind, has money, they demand
II, ind if he objects, they threaten to shoot
aim. All Union men were disarmed Nt first,
and they are powerlese; but he says there are
large numbers Of them there, and if they had
arms and assistance from Government, they
would bring the Secessionsts to a terrible
relribution.
lie says that there are many on the road
hlther and that they all have the hope that
~hea they get to California they will find
at least peace and quiet, and he and those
who have arrived are surprised to find so
much Secessionism here. He says he is not

I" He Came too Late,''

He came too late-the toast had dried
Before the fire too long;
The cakes were turned upon their side,
And everything went wrong.
She scorned to wait all ight for one
Who fingered on his way,
And so she took her tea alone,
And cleared the things away.
He came too late. He saw at once
That supper time was DER;
Ind itleience in her calm smile dwclt;
She closed the pantry door.
The table cloth had passed away,
No dishes could he see 4;
She met him and her words were gay,
But she never spoke Of tea.
He came too late-the fragrant steam
OF tea had long since flown;
The flies had fallen in the cream,
The bread was hard as stone.
And when with word and look he tried
His hungry state to prove;
She nerved her heart with woman S pride,
And never deigned to move.

California in Olden Times.

Somebody has furnished the San Francisco
Call with the following history of old Cali
fornia Governors:
lst. Sola. lie was Governor in 1922 when
the Mexican flag was hoisted, and remained
until 1928 In that year lie returned to
Mexico and delivered over the command to
ID. Don Luis A. Arguillo, who remained
in authority till 1925, when
Sd. General Echondia arrived and re-
ceived the command, and he and Arguillo
continued till the arrival of
4th. Victoria. in 1880 or 1921. In the
latter end of 1882 the Culiforniats revolted,
and sent Victoria back to Mexico. BY this
event
9th. Don Pho Pico, being senior member of
the Territorial Deputation, by law became
Governor pro te5apore, till the arrival, in
1888, of
9th. Figueroa, who continued in Office till
he was obliged to resign on account of i'll
health in 1885, in favor of
7th Don Jose Castro, who also received
the Office by virtue Of being senior member
of the Deputation, aud held until the arrival
OF
sth Chico from Mexico in 1896. The spirit
of independence had now become hat strong
in California, and the policy of the Govern
ment in Mexico was very much disiked -
Chico therefore had command but few
months, and was sent away by the Territorial
Deputation. Previous to his departure he
delivered over his power to
9h. Gutierrez On the 9th November
1886. the Californians, with few Mexicans
revolted against him, and he was embarked
with aE his ofiicern.
10th. Juan b. Alvaralo succeeded him.
and continued in office till the arrival Of
llth. Mchetoreno. in lS42, who main
tained himself in office till lS45 when the
Californians revolutionized and sent him
away Doa Jose Castro Mt this time retained
the military command and
18th. Pio Pico being again senior member
of the Junta Department became Civil Gov
ernor aud so continued until the United
States flag was hosted in Monterey on the
7th day of July. 1916

Epery description Of durable Diseases speedily
remored.
nRS. BROTHERS & GRAY are the only ply
- sicians In this city who can permanently
cure all secret diseases without mercury. The
argument Is, that the every day enlightenment of
mankind should protect them from resortng to
the unprincipled and unqualified that necessary
inquiry and reflection should divert the visit
from the nostrum- m-monger to the respectable
practitioner; but, alas the dilemma in which a
man finds himself, when suffering from the folles
Of his own imprudence and which he Is anxious
to conceal, renders him more solicitous to shun
the respectable man, and to creep into the hooks
and corners for counsel and consolation. Beware
of those nostrum medical offices, or houses, or
namented with the emblem Of the healing art, as
the greater part of those persons pretending to
give advice upon secret diseases are empires
that have no medical knowledge, only as they
may have gathered it in drug store, or by pro-
miscuous and undgested reading Of works upon
the subject, and therefore incompetent to dis
cIiminats between the true and false systems
which are recommended by different authors.
These persons only practice to deceive and ruin
their deluded victims. Too indolent to follow
their legitimate business, and in no way capaci-
tated to treat the subject of which We speak sci
ent,6cally and correctly, they substitute impu-
dence and presumption for knowledge and expe-
rience.

GLAD NEWS FOR THE UNFORTUNATE

GLAD NEWS FOR THE UNFORTUNATE
The long sought for discovered at last.
COUTHEY'S GREAT LONDON REMEDY; an
- unfailing specific for oil diseases of the ui-
nary organs and general Alternative and blood
purifier.
This remedy cures when all others fail. 1t Is
entirely unlike every other medicine prescribed
for venereal diseases, as it contains no mineral
poison, mercury, or nauseous drugs. Being pre-
pared from roots, barks, and leaves, in q very
pleasant form, it is Natures own remedy for gon-
orrhea, gleet, gravel, structure and is especially
recommended for whites in females for this COM
plant it is invaluable.
As general Alternative and blood purifier it
has no equal, and does not fail to cure scrofula,
glandular swellings, mercurial and all eruptive
diseases, curing them more speedily and perma-
nently than any other medicine known. 1t does
this by purifying and cleansing the blood, caus-
ing 1t to flow in all its original purity and vigor,
thus removing from the system all impure and
pernicious causes which have induced disease
In old cases of gonorrhea and gleet, which
have bafied all medical skill it is especially rec
commended. In old cases it never fails, and In
recent ones 1t cures in from 3 to days. A few
doses positively removes all heat, chorde, and
pain.
1t does not affect the BREATH or interfere with
any class of business
1t requires no assistance from any other medi-
cine.
1t can lay on the toilet table or on the count
ing. room without ever being suspected as a rem
edy for secret diseases.
The only and sole proprietor is DR.. S. T. SHU-
MAN, who keeps the great Southern Medical
House, corner OF Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, under the Clarendon Hotel, opposite the
National Hotel, Washington, d. G. By enclosing
$3.50, either in money or postage stamps, to DR..

VIM. M. Stewart, Of Washoe, has written to
Representative Burch, of California, and en-.

as consul of the Duchy Of Brunswick and Lunen
burg, for Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois.
The collector at New Orleans, after opening
the custom.house under the authority Of the
State of Louisiana, began by refusing to pass
goods in bond for ports OF delivery on the
river, unless the authority of that State was
recognised by the United States revenue officers
at those ports. He also refused to take trans
portation bonds given in Kentucky, and ex
acted the payment Of duties at New Orleans.
These exactons produced SO much excite
ment at the principal cities on the Mississippi
river that the goods were abandoned. The
Government has received official intelligence
to this effect from the collector.
1t is now understood that goods may pass a
usual, but the duties collected at New Orlean
60 into the treasury of Louisiana instead o
that of the United States.
