no good lighters left in the bay that can

An Unheard of President.

Michigan paper tells the following good
story:
A Front street saloon-keeper is a great
historical scholar, and he will argue foI
hours on issues, events and men of past ce-
lebrity.
Old Preston was we'll aware of this, and
he dropped into the place one hot day last
mouth and said:
''By crackey, Jim, but this is warml
haven't been so warm since Gen. Cass was
the President of the United States"
What" said Jim, Gen. Cass never was
President of the United States"
''Why, yes. he was" replied Preston,
with well feigned establishment.
''Tll bet you the drinks for the house he
wasn't" aid the excited proprietor.
'Donel"' answered the old man, and he
drew forth his pocket-book, unfolded q page
of Congressional Globe of 1S4S 0, and pro-
ceeded to read that President Taylor having
died on Saturday and Vice President Fill
more not being at Washington, the Presi-
dent of the Senate, Gen. Cass, became
President of the United States until the fol-
lowing Monday, pending Fillmore's inau-
guration.
When the old man had finished reading
he looked around and said: ''Come up,
boys. little 'Stoughtor' in mine, Jim
must excuse Ignorance, you know"
Then he rambled out, while Jim rammed
the bottles back on the shelf, soused the
tumblers in the rinse, and, as he wiped up
the counter, remarked, 81 have seen a good
many mean men in my time, but for first
class star old Preston can take the money"

For five days terrible gale swept over
Galveston. At the very moment that the
very worst became possible, and incalculable
calamities imminent communication with
the island became impossible. Every pos
sible evil that tempests and ocean pillows
have done in all the weary years of the
worlds countless tragedies, was imagined.
1t was commonly said that such storm
had never before swept thus continuously
over the sea coast, and history was reviewed
and the story of each recurring equinoxial
gale was reeited on the streets and by the
tireside of almost every home in Texas.
Galveston has surely won through newspa-
pers and commercial intercourse strong
hold on the affections of Texans. Thurs
day night the tempest gathered and spent
its greatest fury. Through all the hours
Of that fearful night, when trees bent
low before the IesistIess blast, and roofs
were swept away even here, there
were thousands of Texans everywhere who
spent the sleepless night imagining all pos
sible calSmit.es that might betide the sea-
sirt city. Others had kindred and close
personal friends in Galveston, and these
gathered about newspaper and telegraph
offices everywhere to gain anY possible in
formation respecting the fortunes of Gal
weston.
The wind veered about from the east TO
the north on Friday to drive the waters
heaped up in the bay by the eastern storm
over the doomed city. Though the tele-
graph was silent and railway trains were
paalyzed, people knew what was occurring
in Galveston, and only doubted as TO the
extent of calamities that desolated the place
Houston itself lost heavily, having TODAY
the appearance of one of those cities which
came within the line of Sherman's march to
the sea. -
Bryan and Tyler, We are told, felt the
shock OF the ruinous tempest, and farms IN
wide districts have been swept as with be-
som OF desolstiou. Corn has been blown
down in the burrows, and cotton swept from
open bolts In the richest portions Of 1he
State.
These facts make the sum total OF mon
eyed losses in the country even greater than
that which has befallen tradespeopIe in
Galveston and Houston.

A Health WELDING stimuiant.

II is suicidal for man to drink ordinary
liquor, Wien he feels weak, to enable him
to perform work in hand. The fatigue
which labor produces is increased ten fold
by the debiltating reaction Of the stlmu-
lants, of commerce, SO that the temporary
inauguration is purchased at a fearful cost
of health. A stimulant, in order to impart
healthfnl energy, should be medicated. The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are
so wonderfully eificacious as restorative
and preventive is that their alcoholic basis
of pure Old Rye is mingled with vegetable
tonics and alternatives which are the potent
known to medical botanists. The imme-
diate or stinIulative cffectis to reuse the
dormant energies, and their subsequent
operation is to permanently invigorate,

and secretion, the various organs of the

A PASSENGER DEPOT. No one thing,
attraction of the city and to the comfort Of
her citizens and to strangers and travellers,
than commodious and imposing passenger
depot, and it is certainly detriment to
Austin and the Central Railroad Company
that any trifing impeachment should be
allowed to stand in the way of an enter
prise so much needed, and which would be
so beneficial to our city. 1t is claimed by
some that they have been injured by the
road coming into the city and terminating
where it does, inasmuch as excavations have
been made for its track several feet below
the level of their lots on which they had
already made Improvements. AS general
thing the Improvements of the parties who
claim to have been damaged are of a cheap
character, and it does seem that a reconcile
alton should be and could easily be brought
about. The company is now ready, we un-:
derstand, to put up $50, 600 passenger
depot in Austin, and we know of no better
place for its location than the present site
of the passenger platform, and we would
like to see negotiations opened up be-
tween the city and the railroad upon
the subject. 1t seems to US that if the
railroad could be induced to grade down
the sand hill south of the track to Cedar
street, and embracing the entire square, to
a level with the passenger platform, and to
erect fine depot there, that those owning
property in the vicinity, and the whole city
as well, would be benefited. The square,
in its present condition, is useless to the
city, and will be until it is graded down to
= level with the surrounding ground, and
this expense the city is not able to incur,
as the block is not needed for
any special purpose. Certainly, this sub
ject is worthy some consideration on the
part of the City Council and citizens gen.
orally, and we only throw out these sug-
gestions in what we conceive to be to the
interest of Austin. We would even go
further, and suggest that the propriety of
allowing the Central company to extend
their track, under proper conditions,
through the city. to the rockquarries up the
river be duly considered by the Board of
Aldermen and all interested.

THE PASSENGER DEPor.-A gentleman
who arrived from Houston two or three
days since says that while in that city he
had conversation with VIM. r. Baker,
Esq. upon the subject of passenger depot
being built in this city. Mr.. Baker stated
that the railroad company preferred to erect
The depot building on the site of the pres
ent passenger platform, and that If citi-
zens on the block, not inclusive of those
who had already obtained judgments in
the district court, would agree in written
statement that they would not bring suits
for damages in the future, then the COM
pany would build fine $50, 900 passenger
depot, providing bill could be passed by
the next Legislature approving the action
of the city government in transferring the
ground to the railroad company. This we
conceive to be practicable, fair and sensi-
BILE proposition on the part of the Cen
trail road, and we believe it will be
so regarded by our citizens generally and
accepted. Should TIE proposition be de-
clined, the road would have no other alterna-
tive than to build the depot east of the
round house, and passengers would foryears
be dumped out among the sand hills nearly
mile from the business centre of the city.
a fine depot building would certainly add
much to the appearance of the city in the
vicinity of its location, and to the value of
property and the business interest of the To-
cality, and we cannot believe that one
property holder on the block could be
found who would oppose the acceptance OF
the proposition made by the Central Com
pany.
