Mexico.

President Lerdo and Gen. Escobedo
are reported % be in New York.
Ell Democratic says that Col. Prajedis
Cavazos will remain in command of the
Heroic City, sometimes called Matamo-
ros.
The Correo, of Matamoros, says that
numerous bands of highwaymen are
depredating on the roads outside the
city.
Hatamoros politicians are dissatisfied
with Gen. Blanco and other officials.
Who knows but that they will pro-
nounce before long, and promulgate a
new plant
News from the City of Mexico, by
way of Havana, reports that Diaz and
his cabinet are wrangling. Several of
the capitalists that backed Diaz have
failed. Dissatisfaction is creeping in
and 1t would not be surprising if Diaz
was forced to leave the City of Mexico
before long, and another revolution
break out in full blast.
The haste and promptness of D1az
in sending forward the first installment
of $500, 900 does not insure his recog-
nitio n by the United States, which ia
vors Lerdo. IglesIas's claim is ignored
entirely, as he was connlving at the
presidency long before he broke with
Lerdo. The decree of Diaz, in order,
ing an election, in which none but bis
own adherents can vote, will eventu-
ally concentrate all the opposition
against him.
The Brownsville Sentinel says "what
terms were made between our govern
ment and that of Lerdo is not publicly
known. But, from the manner of our
authorities adhering to his cause, II
must be of vital interest to the United
States. So soon as our own difficulty
is happily settled, our Mexican policy
will be developed. If Diaz is able to
sustain himself, he must do so at q
sacrifice; for the government of the
United States will not recognize him
without first securing guarantees that
her demands will be complied with"

A remarkable change in the charac-
ter of the ship building on the Clyde
has for some time been going on, and
during last year it reached very large
proportions. This Is the substitution
Of iron sailing ships for iron steamers,
and the change il ascri1ed in some
measure TO the increase OF late years in
the price Of coal, an increase which
makes il difficult 10 run steamships at
a profit. In 1873 there were built on
the Clyde one hundred and twenty-five
iron screw-steamers OF 21S. 900 tons,
and only twelve iron sailing ships Of
19. 600 tons were launched. Butin 1875
only eighty-thIee iron screw-steam-
ers were built, while ninety-seven iron
sailing ships Of 90, 900 tons were COM
structed. This is an increase OF more
than eightfold In three years. The
change u one which will be welcomed
by sail-mAkeTs and sailors who gener-
ally dislike steamers for reasons OF their
own.

them, although he was eighteen miles

were 50 clearly heard there that Mr..
Watson asked II any demonstration
other than the clapping Of hands had

CoTToN.-About 20, 900 bales of cot
ton, at this date, of the last crop have
been shipped from Austin over the
Texas Central and the international
Railways. Of this cotton there has
been sold to a multitude of buyers ia
Austin about IA, 600 bales. Most of
this cotton has been shipped to Calves
ton. The freight rates from here to
New York, all rail, is eight dollars per
bale; to the same place 0ia Morgan's
line, seven dollars. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that not more than one or two
thousand bales of cotton yet remain
in the country tributary to Austin for
shipment, and it may be estimated
that 23, 600 bales at the very outside
will be the bulk of cotton shipments.
In the meantime the acreage planted
in cotton this year will be greater than
last, and with fair crop year the
shipments from Austin another year
may 90 over 30, 900 bales, and under
the most favorable circum stances, with
II narrow gauge railway running to-
wards Lampasas, it may reach 40, 00C
bales.

A Card TO the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments OF q
vast class of sufferers. Thousands Of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterieits of our med.
Iclnes have sprung up, danger
Gus in their close imitation of our
trade mark. To secure the people
we have placed upon each genuine box
of Holloway's Ointment the fac simile
of the signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos.
Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue anyone
who initiates this with the utmost Wig
or of the law. We most earnestly beg
that the great mass of the American
people will aid US in our efforts to pro-
tect their health and help US in our
task of bringing these most unprinci-
pied men to the bar of justice. Uni
formly refuse to purchase medicines
purporting to be ours unless Mr.. Jos.
Haydock's signature is attached to
each box of Pills or pot of Ointment,
and the end will soon be reached.
