Washington, October 10.-Colonel Robb
Of Georgia, and Mr.. Savage, of California
two of the commissioners appointed by
the President to take testimony relative to
the depredations on the Rio Grande-re-
turned to Washington to-day, and called
upon the President and had long inter.
view with him. The President was much
interested in the narration of these gentle
men, who will prepare a formal report for
transmission to Congress. They state
that the incursions by armed bands of
MeXicans into Texas are numerous, and
have continued ever since 1869, since which
time they have driven horses and cattle
estimated 10 be worth several millions of
dollars across the river into Mexico, where
their plumber IL sold to soldiers and
citizens.
Gen. Cortina, who is not at present in
active military service, is represented to be
one of the most active instgators of the
ncursons, by which he largely profits.
The Texans, while eudeayoring to drive
their cattle to safe places, are sometimes
killed by the MeXicans, while occasionally
the latter suffer in like manner. Owing to
these frequent incnrsion the border contii-
ues in q state of excitement.
There is only one company of cavalry on
the frontier, which is Of little use, consid-
ering that the distance which requires
guarding is 500 miles-from the mouth Of
the Rio Grande to the extreme American
settlement. The infantry is located at long
intervals f; the distance being nearly two
hundred miles from Fort Brown to Ring
gold with only one camp intervening.
Some Of the sufferers by the Mexican
raids travelled two hundred miles to give
their testimony, and expressed their grati-
tication that preliminary steps had been
taken. not only to protect but TO indemnify
them for losses
Gen. McCook, commanding on the Rio
Grande, corroborated the statements of the
witnesses az to the boldness with which the
raids are made, and testified as to his ina
bility with an insufficient force to give the
required protection.
There is no reason to doubt the Presi.
dent, in submitting the report OF the COM
missoners to congress, will accompany ii
with strong recommendation that prompt
measures be taken to protect our citizen.

SINCE the year 1927, a newspaper has
been published in New Orleans, one.
half Of which has been printed in the
English language and been known as
the New Orleans Bee, while the other
half has been published in the idiom OF
the founders of Lou siana, under the
title of fAJeiM de Ia LosveM Orleans.
1t is a successful journal, and the Eng
lish part has been much quoted from
and admired. Now, however, FA6eiUe
has swallowed the Bee, and the paper
h%enceforth appears wholly in the French
language. This indicates that the
French element in New Orleans is not
decreasing in magnitude or influence.

A LADY named Beardshear, living on
firm near Dayton, Ohio, while carry
ing an armful of wood from the wood
shed to the kitchen, was bitten on the
leg by what was first believed to have
been a rattlesnake, and after drinking
a large quantity of pure alcohol, in the
absence of whisky, to counterfeit the
poison, her husband, working in the
field near by, heard her screams and
came to her assistance; and, in search
ing for the supposed snake just where
she dropped the armful OF wood, was
agreeably surprised to find a piece Of
barrelhoop, which Mrs. B. had stepped
on, and, as it flew up, struck her in
such a manner as to draw the blood.

Horrible Matricide.

Patrick Morrissy killed his mother at
Buffalo last week by stabbihg her with
a long-biaded knife. The Buffalo Cour.
icr thus describes the dreadful tragedy:
At two CLOCK Mrs. Merrissey was
preparing the dinner-table for her
boarders. She had in her hand a carv.
ing knife with black wooden handle
and a blade six and a half inches long,
receding to quite a sharp point. Pat
rick entered. Hewas seemingly drunk
and in a very ugly humor. She told him
to 60 away or she would send for the
| police. The wretch seized the carving
knife from her hand, and with a blow
drove it to the hilt in her left breast
The mother uttered a cry and went as
far as the door, where she fell. Blood
came from her mouth, and blood from
her wound left a trail across the floor,
but the hemorrhage was mostly inter.
nal. The poor woman died within five
minutes after being stabbed. Standing
at her side the murderer exclaimed,
"My Godl I've killed my mother /; I've
done il; I've done it." The prisoner
was taken into the office of Superin.
tendent Byrne, where he was told TO
make any statement he desired.
Morrissy said he had none to make,
that he did not kill his mother. Then
he asked if she was dead, and being
told that she was, said he would give
the heart out of his body if could
undo it. He said he supposed he should
never get out again except into hell !;
then comforted himself with the re.
mark that he could die only once.

bAhA NaS%
In the midst Of the Antarctic ocean, a little
off the route from New York to Australia
there lies a large island named Kerguelen's
Land. Cr-as Capt. Cook called 1.-THE Island
of Desolation.
1t was discovered just a hundred years ago,
Gin IT'D, by the French naval officer whose
name il bears. 1t was uninhabited then, and
is to-day ~ deserted as ever.
The smallest school-boy among our readers
can find it upon his map Of the world, about
midway between the south end Of Africa and
Australia, well up toward the South Pole.
1t Is a hundred miles in length by fifty in
breadth, and is consequently three or four
times ~ large as Rhode Island.
Its coasts are so wild and dangerous that its
discoverer, during the two expeditions that
he made to it, did not once bring his ships to
anchor in any Of its ba q and harbors.
Its shape is very irregular, but something
like that Of an h~our-glass, it being nearly cut
in NO by a couple OF large bays but these
two divisions are unequal in size, the northern
peninsula being much larger than the south
ern.

LIVER COMPLAINT, LIVER DISEASE, l.. e.
DEMONSTRATION complaints - by
some termed liver disease-are very
common in this country. The ordinary
indications, such as yellowness of the
skin and whites OF the eyes, pain in the
right side under the inferior ribs. with
sometimes difficulty of respiration and
troublesome cough, are familiar to a
host of sufferers; but the liver, some.
times, is in a very unsatisfactory state
without the presence of such symptoms.
When We reflect that the liver is the
largest gland of the body, thatit s~ecretes
the bile which lubricates the bowels and
keeps them in order, is the great blood
purifier or cleansing machine of our systems,
it may truly be called the Housekeeper of our
Health. Sudden transitions Of climatic tenn
perature, or impure air, or ,odter are disturb
ing elements which arrest the functions of the
liver, and render it torpid, producing diarrhea,
dysentery, bilious remihents, intermitentfe pers,
and q general prostration, and unhealthy state
of the whole organization.
1t is not surprising that q medicine which
can restore the healthy Operations Of the liver
should command general attention. Such a
medicine is CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITrERs, III
