Editors Democratic Statesman:
SIR-Piedrss Negras is just across
the Rio Grsnde, opposite Eagle Pass.
When parties arrive at Eagle Pass they
had better be prepared 10 cross over
into Mexico; to pay the duties on their
things, which are as follows, as near
as could be found ont: For a wagon,
it is twenty dollars wheel ($S0 for
four wheels). On our Milburn wagon
the duty was sixty-slx dollars. o.
horses it is thirty-six dollars a head.
Stations, mares and mules are passed
free of duty. On harness it is about
twenty dollars set. Our harness IN
Austin cost twenty dollars; the duty on
1t was sixteen dollars; saddles, fifty-tive
per cent. of the custom house officers
valuation. Old saddles you can cross
free of duty if you have friend to
help you on the Mexican side. o. ta-
con the duty is twelve cents q pound.
You cannot buy it in this town, but
with a wagon you can pass over about
nifty pounds of bacon, one hundred
pounds of flour. twelve or fifteen
pounds of coffee. sugar and such
things in small quantity for a party of
about four free of duty. A man is
also allowed to carry over one rifle and
TWO s;x-shooIers for himself. The
great trouble here Is giving custom

doing business here or he can't go on
your bond.
The largest merchant on this side is
Mr.. John Canterbury, a relative of Mr..
j. w. Riddle, of Eagle Pass. Texas.
Persons coming to cross the river at
Eagle Pass had better get letters to
parties in Eagle Pass, or if they can't
do that, get letters to parties in San
Antonio, where letters may readily be
gotten to this place or Piedrss Negrss.
The distance from Austin to Eagle

For the last Time.

Editors Democratic Statesman:
In your issue of the thirtieth of o..
tober there is the following paragraph:
sit will be remembered that Messrs.
Burlesou and Crane, in an educational
convention held in this city, when DR..
Sears of the Peabody Fund, declared
the free school system of Texas was q
great public calamity. Both proposed
to take a small slice of the State school
fund, say $50, 900 each, for the use of
the institutions over which they pre-
side" This Is the first time that
have seen the figures produced by
which, after am dead and gone, a sye-
TEN, like the New York system, Civ
ing colleges of certain grade pay for
cork peyformed for the State, would be
benefited. / have only to ask you to
publish the following extract from my
baccalaureste address, delivered here
June II, 1879: "Church Organization
implies free, democratic, republican
form of government; it dissvows, re-
jects and abhors all connection between
churches and civil government. L.
cultivates liberty of worship and asks
hOi SiNiA pAOJCCttOns Will
rights, advantages, profits and enjoy
ments with all citiz4ns, irrespective of
color, race, previous or present condi-
ton of life. 1t seeks no aid for
churches, religious bodies, denomina-
tionsl schools nor ecclesiastics; but de-
msnds, as q matter of justice, under
legal statutory and constitutional limi-
tations and restrictions, State or Ma
tional, pay for able men, including
churches, colleges, State or National
societies Or conventions for State cork
done for the public, and In which all
human society is interested" With
these lifelong sentiments, rejoiced,
as an individual and as president of
the Texas Baptist State convention, to
put to vote the resolution recently
unanimously passed in this place. Bap-
lists have never differed on the point
indicated in that resolution.

Instead of being vehicle for agree
able sensations some peoples nerves are
most distressing endowment. Such
sufferers, 1t will usually be found, are
dvspeptIc, lack vitality and flesh.
What they need is more vigor. There
is means OF obtaining it, if they will
but avail themselves of that means. 1t
is Hostetter's Bitters, tonic which
experience has shown 10 be of the ut
NEST service to the debilitated, nervous
and dyspeptlc. Digestion restored
upon permanent basis by the Bitters,
ministers as it should to the wants of
the system, and its integral parts, of
which the nerves are one of the most
important, are properly nourished and
invigorated. Thev various functions are
thus more actively discharged, and OBJ
stacles to q return to health removed

vous prostration, new strength and vi
tality will be infused into the whole

We are approaching the hundreth
anniversary of a revolutionary exploit
which certainly deserves place among
the manifold subjects of centennial
commentator, although thus far no
preparations seem anywhere to have
been made to honor it. On the twen-
ty-third of September, 1878, occurred
one of the most desperate battles be-
tween single ships recorded in modern
wsrfare-a naval duel hardly surpassed,
indeed, for bull dog tenacity in the au-
