D,. J:Walker's California Vinegar


BitterS are a purely Vegetable preparation,
made chiefly from the native herbs found
on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada
mountains of California the medicinal pro-
perties of which are extracted therefrom
without the use of Alcohol. The question
is almost daily asked, "What is the cause
of the unparalleled success of VINEGAR BTT-
TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient recov-
ers his health. They are the great blood
purifier and ife-giving principle, perfect
Renovator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world has
a medicine been compounded possessing
the remarkable qualities of VINEGAR BTTTERs
in healing the sick of every disease man is
heir to. They are gentle Purgative as
well as Tonic, relieving Congestion or In
fammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs,
in Bilious Diseases.
If men will enjoy good health, let
them use VINEGAR BITTERs as q medicine,
and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
in every form.

The Capture If >amta Anna.

At the celebration at Austin, Texas, com.
memorating the anniversary of the battle
of San Jacinto, fought in the year 1896, a
speech was made by one Of the veterans
Gen. J. B. Robinson, claiming for himself
the homer of having been the captor OF
Gen. Santa Anna, who commanded the
Mexican forces at that battle. On hearing
of this, onr fellow-citizen, Mr.. James A
Sylvester, wrote communication to the
Austin Statesman, contradicting the state
ment of Gen. R. The following is an ex-
tract:
Gen. Robinson was one of the party oG
l think, FIVE, with myself, that left the
main body of men under Gen. Ed. Burleson,
at Vinces Bridge-who, with volunteers,
was in pursuit of Gen. Santa Anna aud the
stragglers of his army - on the twenty
second, the day after the battle. Proceed
ing back to our main camp on Buffalo
Bayou, we separated for the purpose of
hunting. During our separation l espied
Santa Anna, hut neither Mr.. Robinson nor
any of the party was within five hundred
yards of me when Santa Anna was cap
tured, they coming up few moments after.
have always awarded the same credit to
that party hat l felt was due to myself.
But You will find among the archives of the
Texas Historical Society a full account of
the capture, as, also, what passed between
Gen Santa Anna and myself, in the pres
ence Of Gen. Sam Houston and nearly the
whole of our little army; IS, also, a compli-
mentary card from Gen. Houston and the
expression of thanks and graf tude from
Santa Anna himself, to me- when captured.
Probably many Of the old veterans have
either forgotten me or supposed me dead
"a left Texas in l943 and have resided in
this city ever since.

Injured Husbands.

The age is disposed to recognize the
wrongs of injured wives, but why is not
some Of our sympathy reserved for damaged
husbands' 1t isn't the good woman who
always suffers from ireside ferocities aud
the abnormal use of the hair-brush, to say
nothing Of the tongue. We are sure we do
not know why it ia, that when mans wife
ill-treats him, Caudle-lectures him, snnbs
and scolds him, frets him into premature
hair blanching aud early laby.inthme
wrinkles, he has only the cold comfort Of
knowing that his case is discussed laugh
ingly by his most intimate friends. We are
not sure that the men will not soon be
obliged to call . national convention for the
CON versatiOnsOf their natural or unnatural
rights.
We shall present, says the Tribune, no ex

lessly alluded to. This venerable patriarch
told the police court that Mrs. Sidney Col
Inns, to whom he had been united for seven
teen years, was in the constant habit Of
shifting him on the head with quart jug,
having previously drained the said jug Of its
berry contents. This, Mr.. Collins justly Oh
served, was something which. at his age, he
couldn't be expected to stand.
1t appeared in evidence, that during the
lost five years, this energetic dame had spent
thirty months in prison for no other offense
than that of assaulting and battering Mr..
Sidney Collins; so that, after all, the wind

Maids vs.. Widows.

The following is veritable petition
signed by sixteen maids of the town OF
Charleston, S. c., and presented to his Ex-
cellency, Governor johnson, Of that prov
ince, in the year 1888:
"The humble petition of all the maids
whose names are underwritten:
whereas, We the humble petitioners,
are at present in very melancholy dispo-
sition Of mind, considering how all the
bachelors are captivated by widows,
and our more youthful charms neg
lected; in consequence of this, our request
is that your Excellency will, for the
FIJI ure, order that no widow presume to
marry any young man till the maids are
provided for, or to pay each OF them fine
for satisfaction for invading our liberties,
and likewise a fine to be laid on all such
bachelors as shall be married to widows.
The great disadvantage it is to us maids is,
that the widows, by their forward carriage,
do snap up the young men, and to have the
vanity to think their merits beyond ours,
which is a great imposition on us, who
ought t., have the preference. This is hum
bly, recommended to your Excellency's con
sideration, and hope you will permit no fur
Their insults. And we poor maids, in duty
bound, will ever pray"
