If the food taken into the stomach Is not
digested II dGcomposes. In the latter case u
pungent gus IL developed which causes sour
quotations, or else the stomach Itself secreles
an acid which, rising mp vt intervals, stings
the gullet sharply. These extremely dish
grecable sensations are attributable TO I'M
paired digestion. To get rid of them, or pre-
vent their recurrence, II Is only necessary to
tone and regulate tho gastric organs with
Hostettcr's Bitters. 1t will not answer to
postpone the great corrective with the idea
that the unpleasant symptoms will disap-
pear of themselves. SO far from that being
the case, they almost invariably eliminate, II
neglected, in chronic dyspepsia with Its con-
comitants of gnawing in the stomach, dizzi-
ness, perverted vision, headache and Sleep
lessncss, II Is true that all those disagreea-
bes may be obviated by course of the Bit
ters, but how much wiser TO anticipate their
arrival with one or two doses of that pure
preventive of indigestion and strengthened
OF the alimentary organs.

THE BRENMAM CONVENTIONS.

The correspondent OF the Houston
Telegraph, writing from Brennan, on
the morning of the 10th, before the as
sembling Of the convention, gives the
following as the programme of pro-
oeedings. The result will prove wheth-
er he was correctly Informed or not.
1t Is currently believed in certain
CIRCLE that the Galveston delegation
are opposed to both Hancock anu Gid
diugs, giving as their reason the back
salary business. They say they will
not support man who had his finger
In that apple.pie. They say they have
no man from Galveston to prefer, but
others believe they have, and that they
confidently expect to secure his nomi-
nation. The modus Operandi will be
about this, II rumor proves correct:
In the convention the delegation
will probably divide unequally, the
majority voting for Hon. Seth Shepard,
aud the minority. doing u promiscuous
complimentary business. First, how
ever, the two-thirds rule Is TO be adopt-
ed, In order to crowd Hancock out,
since 1t IL believed he can only secure a
majority at best. The voting for Shep.
ard will be with q view of drawing To
him o respectable following, and place
the contest, as between him and Ham
cock, In such q position as to defeat the
selection Of either.
THE REAL WORK fNt
will then begin, aud the Hon. George
r. Finlay, Of Galveston, will be put In
nomination, 1t Is hoped, just In the
nick Of time to secure a nomination
nom the weary and d,sgusted dele
oates. For this purpose the conven-
Hon y "a. ha prolonged ~ far as posi-
bltSHSst& would appear the, game.

AUNTIN COLLEGE.

1t will DO remembered that earnest
efforts were made last spring to secure
the location of Austin college Mt this
place that 1t was supposed at one
time that those efforts would DO Sue
cessful and that suddenly, from some
publicly unexplained cause, the COM
missioners charged with the location
of the college turned their backs upon
Dallas. We have reason to know that
the question Is still an open one, and
we believe, by prompt and proper ac-
ton OH the part Of our people, we Gun
yet secure to our city this institution
Of learning. Georgetown thinks she
has secured 1t, us will appear from the
following extract fromthe Williamson
County Record. Once more we appeal
to the people of Dallas to take hold Of
this matter:
For certain aud sufficient reasons,
the trustees of Austin college refuse to
locate the institution at Dallas, where u
large donation fund was raised, and
have made overtures to Georgetown In
the matter. A meeting of our citizens
was assembled at the court house on
Thursday night and a committee APP
pointed to receive donations. We I'M
derstand, reliably, that Texas univer-
sity at this place will probably sub
scribe $4,000 and donate forty-flve
acres of their land southwest of town
for q building site. Considerable en-
thusiasm Is manifested. Judge Hughes
will give Ave hundred dollars in gold,
]. j. Dimmitt the same amount, and
we feel disposed to say that every one
holding the future greatness of George
town at heart will subscribe literally
In order to make their home the great
educational center Of the state.
We have been assured that, II we
gain the Austin college, the subsequent
location Of the Baptist university il a
question OF no doubt. What a glorious
eud to labor for. Let it go abroad that
Georgetown Is place ofenterprise, and
that her citizens possess the eminent
qualities of people determined to adj
vance In the great scale of human pro-
gress.-I Williamson County Record.

Mischief In the Air.

We cannot enalyze the poisons that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases; but the
valuable discoveries which have been made
In vegetable pharmacy enable us to coun-
tcract their maliiic influence, The most pow
erful known antldote TO every species ofma-
laria is Hostetter's Stomach Bi,ters, a pure
botanical medicine, In which the finest an
tiseptics, tonics Alternatives and stimulants
of the vegetable Kingdom are skillfully and
effectively combined. At seasons of the year
when the atmosphere Is surcharged with
mlasma, and whenever the specific virus of
any infectious disease is supposed to be pres
ent in the air, this famous corrective should
be taken regularly as n protective. All who
choose TO observe this precaution may bid
defiance TO intermittent aud remlttent ie-
vers, and In fact to all disorders generated by
foul exhalations or impure water.

..,..... "'NEw York, August 10, 1874.
nlSAitor OF the Journal OF Commerce
"Please answer the following ques-
ton
IA loans to B & Co. his notes, which
they sell to g at one per cent per
mouth. b n Co. have since failed. Is
A bound to pay these notes, he not
having received amy consideration ?
and oblige SUBSCRIBER"
In asserting that a has u legal de-
Tense IN the plea of usury, we do not
mean that he is not morally bound by
his signature. The usury laws are an
open violation Of the plainest principle
Of equity, aud no honest man will re-
fuse to abide by his promise because Of
the legal technically in his favor. If
A lent his note to b n Co., he meant
by the signature thereto appended to
secure and guaranty the payment OF
any money that they might borrow on
the credit of his name, and he Is a
rogue ii aught but inability prevents
him from keeping his word.
REPLY.-A has legal defense to
these notes, not through failure to him
Of consideration, but by aplea OF
usury and 1t is tho want of consider
alton which renders this plea etlectual.
In plain terms, before Il note can be
legally sold at higher rate of interest
than Is fixed by statute, it must have
become u legal obligation. If A lends
b n Co. his note, IL is not a legal obi
CATION against a. until b u Co. pass II
for value to another, and If 1t is SO
passed at more than legal interest, then
the usury law applies. After II note
becomes legal or valid claim against
the maker it may then be sold or pass
ed at any rate of interest without be-
ing voidable; but II Is not made legal
claim against the maker IL it is
first passed for value at more than
simple interest. If A lends b. Il Co
his note without any consideration
and { takes 1t at simple interest, II
then becomes valid against a, and c
may afterwards sell 1t at large dis
count without hurting the buyers title
but if G takes 1t Mt more than legal in
terest, 1t is voidable for usury, as it was
not legal claim against A before {
bought 1t, and 1t is precisely the SAME
rs If he had bought 1t directly from tn,
