The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1875-07-08

THE Belton district is the Gibraltar of
Democracy in Texas. 1t seems, from ad-
vices from the convention held there, that
partisanship was ignored, and its interven-
ton condemned. and again there will be a
howl among the organ. grinders. 1t is in
fact a very terrible affair, and they should
see how it happens that the convention in
the Bolton district can dare to violate. the
order issued from the head centre of the
party. It is indeed awful. But the Belton
Democracy are none the less true Democrats,
as wall be shown whenever Democracy and
Radicslism .are1arrazed against each other.
THE Bryan Pest is no longer published.
Editorial genius should exhaust itself
in perfectlng the papers we. have and
not in multiplying o them. They are
too numerous now by half, and this
half will die, and while moribund,
serving neither their owners nor the coun-
try, only serve to restrict the usefulness and
force and detract from the responsibility
and influence of the press of Texas. The
Post, however, deserved to live. 1t was an
admirable paper and we regret its untimely

AGUR AND FEVER.

DA. c. M'LANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
OF the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them A FAIa TRIAL.

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAlN in the right side, under the
i edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
tladc, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss Of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax /; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
q considerable loss of memory, ac-
comPanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tcndant. The patient complains of
wcariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
Hnd ne complains OF PrickIy sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits arc low
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he. dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.

Brine that will Preserve Butter a
Year.

Among the many devices for keeping
butter in a mfnner that preserves the
fresh rosy flavor cf new, with all its
sweetness, is the following from the
Dutchess Farmer, which is said to be
entirely successful:
"To three gallons of brine strong
enough 10 bear an egg, add a quarter of
a pound of nice white sugar and one ta-
blespoonful of saltpeer. Boil the brine,
and when it ia cold strain carefully.
Make your butter into rolls, and wrap
each separately in clean white muslin
cloth, tying up with a string. Pack a
large jar full, weight the butter down,
and pour the brine until it is submerg-
ed. This will keep really good butter
perfectly sweet and fresh for a whole
year Be careful to not put upon ice
butter that You wish to keep for any
length of time. In summer when the
heat will not admit of butter being
made into rolls, pack closely in small
iars, and using the same brine, allow 1t
TO cover the butter to a depth of at
least four inches. This excludes the
air and answers very nearly as we'll as
the first method suggested"

Meeting Of Brothers After Forty
Eve Years.

The Cortland Republican has an ac.
count of the strange meeting of two
brothers after prolonged separation.
It says: "About sixty years ago, Mr..
Richard Almy, then living in East Ho
mer, had his wife's brother, John
Wright, came from Sehoharie county, to
live with him. John lived with him
until he was twenty years old, when he
went to work for General Millar, on
what is now the Loring farm, and after
ward for others. About 1925 he induc-
ed his brother, Eliakin, ten years young
er than himself, to come to Homer.
Eliakin lived with Mr., Almy for a
while, and then began to work for others
He worked year for Mr.. J. Barber,
during which time he aided in digging
the cellar of his present house He
worked year for Mr.. B. Tubbs. In
1927 John left Homer, lived several
years in the western part of the State
and then moved to Michigan, where he
still has his home In 1928 Eliakin
went 10 live in Cattaraugus county, New
York, where he still resides. In 1885,
they lost track of each other. Neither
however, forgot the others existence
and both lived on in hope of meeting
again. Three weeks ago last Monday
John left his Michigan home for the
East, determined, if possible, to fnc
his brother, from whom he had heart
nothing in forty-6vc years. The mex
morning Eliakin started from his New
York home on the same errand. Eacl
had decided to come to Homer to insti
tuts inquiry. They reached Syracus,
within two hours of each other. Johl
took the noon train for Homer, ant
Eliakin the evening train. Upon max
ing inquiries here both were separa e,
directed to Mrs. St. John, their niece
Neither of them knew that she was here
They called upon her, and the mex
morning she had the pleasure of intro
ducing them to each other"

Rattlesnaked!

Old John Litzel while moving in
Wetzel's meadow, west of this city, yes
terday morning, was bitten by a rattle
snake. He had cut the reptile in two
and stopped to secure its rattles, when
the end the head was on, leaped forward
and struck him on the thumb. Litzel,
however, succeeded in severing the rat
ties, sixteen of them, and then hurried
to Wetzel's drug store on Columbus
street, and DR.. Harman was immediate
l. dispatched for. When the DIR. reach
ed Litzel his hand had swollen to three
times its natural dimensions, and the
poison was rapidly crawling up his arm.
A quart of whisky was quickly gnlped
down by the ophidian victim and the
noxious infection at once checked.
When the DIR. left he pronounced his
patient out of danger. During the last
couple of days Litzel has killed eigh
teen rattlesnakes in the same meadow,
and exhibits the "rattles" aa trophies OF
his prowess. Keep out of the meadow,
