second good healthy by using Green's

of dyspepsia, liver complaint, indiges-

conscience. A blaze of light springs
from this section, and it is not necessa-
~ to fancy the angel of truth pointing
her finger to it. The mayoralty Of
Austin is an office OF profit, a salary of
$4,000 q year. 1t is an office under the
State government, it is q creature of
the State legislature, and the political
tie between the two is indissoluble,
save by the power which established it.
You may, however, induct the Cap
tain into the office, else what means the
haste, which embsrrssSes US. pardon
me, speak with all due respect to
every member of your honorable board. }
But he will not be the mayor of Aus
tin, for the constitutions and laws of
our three governments forbid it.
Your decision cannot make him eligi-
be, his votes cannot do so, the willing
machinery of police, obeying his or
ders, cannot make HIM SO. Every act
OF his will be the act, not of mayor,
but of c'ptain. He can administer no
oath; he can, as magistrate, ,Iy no man,
nor commit to imprisonment; he can
sign no warrant on the city treasury,
oH0 nv "oilauh VI AIECSb TIC can vote
on no question involving the expenli-
lure of public moneys. He will be, to
all intents and purposes in the office,
eioiIter mort,ts, legal corpse, life
less, leafiess trunk The heavy drapery
OF suffrage, in which he plnmes him
self to demand your city's ermine, is
but the netting of mistletoe that crowns
the dead skeleton of the live oak 1t
may look green, and beautiful, but it
cannot deceive the eye, the mind, or
heartl And pile on his shoulders the
oiticial panoply, buckle it with his
oath, and seal it with the ceremony Of
Inauguration; and vet he will no more
he mayor Of Austin, than is the CHASTITY
dummy" in front of the clothier's
store, which suspends the full vesture
Of q gentleman, living, breathing
human being! He will simply be an
intruder, an usurper ab iaaio, and but
for the apathy in the public mind, III
cidental to the prevailing leprosy in
the morals Of tho day, no good man
could witness, with pleasure, hia eleva-
ton to trust so important to the in
terests, to the property and liberties of
the citizen.

Disease is an Antagonist

That should be attacked the instant
he shows himself. Don't wSit. At
him before his nails are grown, and
wipe him out. The great Alternative
and invIgorant of the age, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, will speedily infuse
such healthful tone into your organism
that it will be enabled to successfully
resist future attacks. The bitters pre-
vent and remedy chills and fever and
bilious remittents, and eradicate
dyspepsia, constipation, liver COM
plant, rheumatic ailments, urinary and
uterine difficulties. 1t is particul arly
beneficial when the system is drained
of its vitality or is inherently deficient
in strength. The nerves gather from
it both vigor and tranquility. But
while it imparts strength and gives a
wholesome stimulus to the animal
economy, it does not unduly excite it
like the cheap exhilarants sometimes
resorted to under the erroneous i'm
preston that they can invigorate.

A New York letter says: "There
are three vessels with contraband OF
war, on Turkish account, now On their
way to the Mediterranean, from this
port. Two Of these have sailed since
the Russian fleet left New York, and
as q dispatch has been received to-day
from Berlin, stating that some Of these
war vessels are now known TO be bound
for Gibraltar in order to intercept
neutral ships with cargoes OF that
character, there is naturally much anx.
iety as to their fate, on the part OF the
people here who are most interested 10
them as commercial ventures. The
third vessel referred to sailed q week
before the men-of-war got of, and the
presumption therefore, is, that by this
time she Is out OF harms way. One OF
tn: Turkish officers, at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, this morning, expressed
the opinion that the entrance OF the
NJ ,diterranean could not thus be block
AIDED by Russia or any other maritime
power. II American vessels are thus
interfered with there, he predicts
trouble between Russia and the United
States. He Is not afraid of Russian
men of-war catching the other vessels
on the high seas, nor even in the Mcdi.

A GENTLEMAN connected with the
STATESMAN spent day in Round Rock
the past week, and he reports the place
as prosperous and growing, and the
people contented, happy and hopeful.
Round Rock, which has not yet turned
its first birthday, now has population
of about 1000, and it has all the ''make
up" Of ''sure-enough" little city. Its
location is charming and it is sur
rounded by the richest and most fer
tile lands TO be found in the State, and
there are many reasons to convince its
citizens that ereloDg their population
will be doubled. The merchants and
business men there have done we'll the
past few months, but they expect to do
better hereafter. The magnificent crop
prospects give them confidence for q
lively fall and winter trade, and the
rapidity with which Williamson and
adjacent counties are settling up has
given Round Rock q lumber trade equal
almost to that of Austin three years
ago. There are six CRY goods houses,
as follows: A. Steenbock & Co., 81.
Koppel, Philip Berwin, ]. c. No row,
]. Harms and j. 8. Williams. Those
dealing in groceries are T. w. Smith,
T. D. Upton, W. H. Triggs, A. Weis,
N. Brown and D. Safer. The four
lumber yards of Messrs. Peters & Bro,
G. 81. Dllly & Co., Forward & Colting.
ham and n. Kleiber are sll doing q
good business. Three livery stables,
two photograph establishments, two
barber shops, four blacksmith shops,
two shoe shops, one wagon shop, one
tailor shop, three butcher shops, one
bakery, one furniture house, and five
doctors and four lawyers, are all in
full blast and spouting away lively.
Mr.. A. B. Palm runs the postoffice,
and to the satisfaction of the people
and of the five hotels, Mr.. G. W. Da-
Wis presides over one, and it is popu-
lar, and justly SO. Round Rock has
bank, and NJ. D. Miller, formerly OF
Austin, is the president. A planning
mill and a grist mill add to the din
and business clatter of this new rail-
road town, and the Headlight chimes in
and toots long aud loud and shrill once
q week, giving all the news of the day
and the times. There are four drug stores
in Round Rock to supply the wants of
people whose livers are out of order or
bowels are on the rampage, and fruit
and candy stores where the boys can
sweeten up their girls. The passen-
ger and freight depots are roomy and
attractive, and there is theater hall
for the accommodation of travelling
companies. A daily stage leaves every
morning for Georgetown and Bolton,
and tri-weekly stage runs to Lam
pasas and San Saba. As yet, Round
Rock has no church building, but
worship is had in the theater hall every
Sunday. Withal, Round Rock is a
pleasant little town to live in, and q
day can now and then be spent there
pleasantly and protitably by a member
of the press, that is if he has vim
enough in him to ''press in" pretty
lively, and the STATESMAN never sends
out any other sort. Adios, Round
Rock-may your citizens ever have
plenty of ''rocks" and "stamps" and
things.

said that the matter had as we'll be

he attempted to draw his pistol, but
which got caught in some way in the
scabbard or in his pocket. Good sue
cseded in getting out his pistol first,
firing four times, Robinson only shoot
