A Washington dispatch al

A Washington dispatch announces a
special meeting of the House commit
tee charged with the consideration of
the Mexican border outrages, and their
determination, in the event of the w ar
Departments inability to send two
regiments of calvary to the Rio Grande
to recommend the enlistment of Texas
rangers for patrol duty, General Backs
adding suggestion of his own that the
State of Texas offer reward for the
arrest of Cortina and his companion
raiders. This action has business
like aspect refreshing to contemplate,
and If followed out will terminate our
border trouble in the decisive "load,
aim, fire" order. 1t is especially to be
hoped that the settlement will fall to
the office of the Texas troops, who
have been aching for shot for long
while past, and will do full justice to
the first occasion they meet with.

ing out these time-pieces as fast as he
can, but the demand is far greater than
he is at present able to supply with the
facilities now at his command. These
clocks are run by electrisity, and con-
sequently the trouble of winding up is
obviated, the machinery running until
it wears out. We noticed one the other

virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that it is natur-

than any known substance or compound.
Owing to this fact II has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rhoa-
matism that were invunerable to drugs:
It has also been discovered thai India Rub

or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted 1t on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most efiectual way OF using the article
Is in the form of u perforated plaster. Ihe
extensive use OF Ordinary PerfOI ated or Por-
ous Plasters. is n testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the Or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too sowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve PAIN or TO effect cure.
A celebrated Physician of New York, who
has long made the medical properties OF Rub
Der study has succeeded in making great
improvement in Porous Plaster by introduce
ing Capcine, which Oyercomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in
few moments or hours. that which it former
ly required days or weeks.
Capcine Is the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an external remedy. ltoperates
with astonishing vigor and relieves pain i'm
mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come SO famous that an enterprising firm in
New York took it in hand, and by bringing
Capcine Plaster to the attention OF Physi-
clans, have met with unprecedented success.
The article is known as BENSON'S CAP
