We have studied closely the various questions
relating to fruit culture In " estern Texas during
the twenty. seven years Of experience and obser-
walton, upon our own ground. We have thus On.
abled ourselves to present to the public list OF
fruits better adapted to our climate than can bs
offered by any other establishment.
Our pears cannot be oAcelled anywhere. ANY
one who has good clay sub-soil and good drain
age need not hunt better pear country than THIS
Our plunis and grapes are OF the only classes
that have been fund successful here.
Our acclmated list Of peaches IL grated, win
single exception, from new varieties originated
Il ON seed in Western Texas. We do not claim
that our peaches are better than every other, but
we do claim that our trees are proved as hardy
and productive as any scrub seeding, while tho
qualities are not inferior to the old lists.
We propose to introduce our fruits into the San
Marcos neighborhood. wherever you can raise
scrub seedlings our trees will do equally well.
This question Of combining hardness, productive
ness and quality is our leading feature.
We can supply good assortment Of ornamental
trees and plants.
Everybody Is invited to ccme and see our orch.

Marvellous Dental Feat.

Tooth carpentry bids fair to be rob-
bed of its terrors, for it has come to
pass that decayed and torturing teeth
can be taken out, cleaned, filed, re-
paired, and replaced in the jaw. DR..
o. B. Rumble, of Monticello, has for
some months been asking himself the
question, If broken and separated
bones and lacerated flesh would unite
and become sound, why not the teeth !?
He resolved to try the experiment when
he found a good subject. The latter
turned up in the person of a stalwart
blacksmith with decayed and painful
molar, the first on the right side of the
lower teeth. The doctor extracted it
and found it slightly decayed, but with
two ulcerous sacs at the point of the
prongs. He explained his new theory
to the patient, who was desirous to save
the tooth, and he told the dentist to 90
ahead. The ulcers were removed, the
tooth drilled and plugged with gold,
the proprietor holding it while the dem
tist did the job, which required two
hours. The tooth was replaced in its
socket, and now, after 10 days, it be-
coming firm as before. e.-IoUG Letter to

The hangman's record for the past
year shows that SO murderers were
hanged in the United States. OF this
number AZ were white, "a colored, 1 In
dian, and 1 Chinaman; were hanged
for indecent assaults, for burglary,
for wife-murder, for filicide, and for
fraticide. There were three double exc
cutions, one triple. two quadruple, and
one in which six men were hanged. Not
a single woman was hanged; the only
one sentenced to death, Mrs. Louisa
Lawsar, of Virginia, had her sentence
commuted to imprisonment for life by
the Governor. Friday still maintains it's
reputation in the black list as the favor
ite day on which to enforce the death
penalty, more murderers having been
hanged on that day than on all TIE
others of the week combined. Forty
seven murderers were hanged on Friday,

A dispatch from Bogot, Sd. saws
Gen. Gorko fought severe battle on the 31st
OF December, at Tashesan. Before securing
the Turkish entrenchments, the Russians
lost 700 men in killed and wounded. The
Turks retreated at nightfall toward Sofia,
pursued by the cavalry. After halt for rest
and reorganization, Gen. Gourko resumed
his advance upon Sofia.
The Turkish forces have evacuated
Sofia. The Russians have occupied Ilidia,

suffered enormously, and immense numbers
of killed and wounded We're found on their
positions on December 81. The whole plain

Some Notable Old Folks.

A recent French paper records a
"personal'' the most unique on record
in modern times, namely, the marriage
of two centenarians. Only three or four
months ago a gentleman named De
Brognes, residing at 30 Rue d'Orleans,
Paris, married Madame Massat, widow
The bridegroom was aged 1O1, the bride
SO, thus making up just two centuries
between them. Here, also, is another
case of remarkable longevity. On Oc-
tober 21 last gentleman named Duroy,
a retired officer, aged 1O4, attended the
wedding of two of his great-grand-
daughters. He led them both to the
altar, followed by the bridegrooms, his
own children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren; and to see the old gen
tleman no one would have imagined he
was centenarian; his gait was steady,
and he was as straight as a post. At
the wedding dinner in the evening he
sang at dessert song composed for the
occasion. This was followed by ball,
which he opened in person, dancing

And here is another, of domestic origin,
equally noteworthy: Jacob NJ. Jacobs,
of Oswego, N. Y, celebrated his one
hundredth birthday last month, and
among the three hundred visitors were
Hon. Alvin Bronson, aged 95, Nathan
Farnham, Esq, aged 85, and Mr..
Poucher, aged 82. A bottle of wine 20
years old was among the gifts present
ed. The Oswego Times states that the
centenarian walks about the house with
ease, and goes out when the weather is
pleasant. His memory is good, and he
fluently, and reads daily pa
per with the greatest regularity. He
drinks no Intoxicating liquors, but
smokes frequently during the day pipe
Or cigar. He is as free from infirmities,
and as well preserved, as
men at seventy-five or eighty. Mr.
Jacobs has had family of nine chill

killed several years since, are alive. Six

THE Chicago Trt6aNe's Washington
correspondent publishes an interview
with Secretary Evarts in which occurs
the following colloquy:-
Cor.-Has any thing yet arisen that seems
to demand your resignation?
E-Nothing- a thing. The relations
between the Cabinet Ministers and the Pres
ldent are as pleasant as they were when the
Cabinet was formed. There is no misun-
derstanding. Every thing is perfectly har-
monious. This flighty effort of certain poll
tlcians can not disturb that harmony. They
can not disturb the country. Before long
the country will understand the whole mat
ter as we in the Cabitet understand it now.
The Cabinet officers are in full accord with
each other and with the President. There is
every indication that he is satisfied, and we
certainly are.
Cor.-Are the relations between yourself
and Secretary Schurz pleasant?
E.-The relations between all the Cabinet
o1ncers are of the most pleasant. have
never said aword to Secretary Schurz on.
these matters because never fhought them
OF enough importance. The Cabinet is at
peace; the Republican party is really at
peace, and the country is at peace. 1t is on
ly the politicians who are, at war, and they
VIII soon end that when they see that the
country takes no interest in it,

Coughs and Foul Air.

self to cold, sleeping in well ventilated bnal

advice was hardly trelished blythe young .rs,'
