Germans suffering from illness or old ACE.
The British double-turro. ship Intlexible.
which was launched at Portsmouth ON
Thursday, is believed by its builder TO have
solved the problem of constructing a vessel
which can be clothed with armor thick
enough to withstand the heaviest shot, and
at the same time to prevent the buOyancy
of the vessel from being thereby diminished.
He protects the engines only with iron
plates, and on the rest of the ship he puts
thick armor OF cork, in which it is sup.
posed that any number of projectiles may
bury themselves without intlicting harm.
The band of the thirty eighth German In.
fantry of Berlin is expected to arrive in
Philadelphia in few days. 1t will be re-
membered that this celebrated organization
took the prize at the Paris Exposition. The
leader has written to say he intends to play
Gilmore completely around the corner.
Alexander of Russia will leave St. Peters
burg about the end of April and proc eed by
way of Berlin to Ems, In Germany, where
he will meet the Emperor William. After
few weeks STAY at Ems be will return by
way of Jugenheim TO st. Petersburg, and
witness the military maneuvers at Kras-
nole Selo. Some time during the summer
he will make trip to Helsingfors, Finland
and in August will review the troops in
Warsaw, after which, accompanied by the
Czarina, he Will set out for Livadia, and re-
tnrn to his capital late in the autumn.
LIvadia is town of Greece on the Hereyna,
hfty-two miles northeast of Athens. The
Emperor of Brazil, the King of Denmark
and the Prince of Princess and Piedmont will

The Gar has for some time been subject to

complaint is now added, and he expects
some relief from the waters and the ar OF
Ems.

MCCoRMICKs REAPERs AND HARVEST
ERs.-These harvesters and reapers are al
ways popular. They are simple, strong
and durable, and the only fault Mccormick
competitors can find is heavy draft. They
Judge from the Mccormick Reaper made
before the war, many of which are still in
use. The Mccormick Reapers made now
are of lighter draught than any of the re-
liable machines that cut the same width.
They are thoroughly warranted, are sold at
low price on six, eighteen and thirty
months time, with only ten per cent interest,
and any good farmer is allowed to use any
of the Mccormick machines through the
whole season with any other kind, and at
the end of the season he can make up his
mind which of the two he will keep and
pay for. This protects the interests of our
farmers and they will appreciate it. John

RAILROAD SURvEYs.-We learned Fri
day that during the past week the Interna-
tioDal Company has run two surveys from
Round Rock, seventeen miles distant, to
this city. Both lines were run below or
east of the city-One crossing College Ave
nue. one mile and quarter east of the
Capitol, and the other passing near and
Just west of the Hamilton residence.
Whether the company is running these
surveys to keep up the impression that the
road will be completed to Austin this sea-
son, or with the real intention of building,
remains to be seen. Should the road be
built, we believe the eastern route will be
selected, and that the Central and Interna-
tonal companies will have union depots in
the vicinity of the Central freight depot, or
perhaps nearer the river, and probably 1t is
well enough that the depots should be to-
gether, and located as above. The STATES
MAN is only moderately hard to please, and
is always disposed to take a comprehensive
and philosophical view of things, and to
speak of them as they exist. Whatever
the International, or it and the Central
combined, propose to do, should be pub
licly made known at an early day, so that
business interests in this city could be
shaped accordingly. The interests of both
roads and the city are identical, and there
should be a mutual, frank understanding.

Tnckham, twenty-five miles distant, there
had been several cases, and a few deaths,
but at Brownwood'but two mild cases had
occurred, and the doctors disagreed as to
whether it was really smallpox or not.
However, the house where the patients
were was quarantined, and the patients
were recovering, and no other cases had
occurred. The writer says that the place
is generally healthy, and that but one of
the ten persons buried in the Brentwood
cemetery died natural death, the other
nine having all been killed. In many places
in Texas it is SO healthy that they have to
kill man TO get grave yard started, and
we presume that Brown " God must be one
Of them.

The robbers, three in number, were polite
and jucose; two were mounted on a sorrel
and gray and the other was on foot, and
all had hankerchiefs tied across their faces
and their hats pulled down. One of the
men was six feet high, heavy made, about
80 years old, and had brown hair and
whiskers. The other men were apparently
about the same age, not SO tall but stout in
figure. They robbed the passengers and
mail bags in a manner similar to the stage
robbery near San Marcos several weeks ago,
and the impression prevails that they are
the same men.

No class of invalids are more to be COM
miserated than the dyspeptic. The malady
from which they suffer is the parent of a
more numerous offspring of tormenting
symptoms than any other disease. On the
other hand, they are to be congratulated
that there Is a potent, safe and agreeable
botanic remedy for all the torture that they
undergo. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
powerfully invigorates the cellular tissue of
the stomach, thus promoting an adequate
secretion and flow of the digestive juices,
vitalizes the shrunken and debilitated lin
ing of the stomach, directs the bile into its
true channel, and stimulates the inactive
bowels and dormant liver. These radical
effects are accompanied with the restoration
of appetite, flesh and sound repose, and
the removal of flatulence, heart burn, nau-
sea, palpitations of the heart, vertigo, high
eolored and scalding urine, water brash,
headache, and many other harassing symp-
toms of dyspepsia.

THE ISrERNATIoNAL.-It is by no means
certain that Austin will get the lnterna-
tlonal Railroad this year. Mr.. Hayes guard
eddy said in his remarks at the depot meet
ing that the road would be finished to
Round Rock by August, and that he could
promise its completion to this city in Sep
TENDER, if the depot matter and the right
of way through the county could be salts
factorily settled, but as little or nothing
has been said regarding these matters since
he left. it may be inferred that there is a
lack of interest on the part of citizens Of
this city and county. Should the road
keep its terminus for one season or more at
Round Rock, then the property owners and
business men of this city would wake up to
realization of their true position. There
is nothing to indicate positively that lick
of work is to be done this summer on the
road between Round Rock and this city,
and it is about time some one was looking
into the facts little. Too much time is
being lost regarding the Austin and Lam
pasas narrow gauge road as well as the com
pletion of the International TO this city.
Austin could alone build twenty-five miles
of the narrow gauge this year, and she
should do it in self-defense.

IT gladdens the heart to be and recognize
theibeing in the enjoyment of perfect health,
and yet how few possess it. The active
habits of life in this country make people
neglect the mastication of their food; hence
follows indigestion constipation or diar-
rhGa, etc. making life burden. Under
such regime it becomes necessary to use a
means of assisting the over-taxed power of
nature in digesting the food taken into the
stomach, and we find no better adjuvant
than can be found in the Home Stomach
Bitters.
WALTER TIPS, the wholesale and retail
hardware dealer on the Avenue, is also
dealing in agricultural implements, and
though he makes no noise about his har-
vesters, he has the best in the market, at
least they are as good as any Others, and
farmers should call and be satisfied on this
point before investing. The Edward Har-
vester" sold by him and advertised in this
paper has an enviable reputation through
out the country and graingrowers should
at least call at Mr.. TIps's mammoth stor,
and see it, and the many other articles il
the implement line that he has for sale.
