ABsURDITY EXPOSED.

The Express wants TO make il ap
pear that Gov. Roberts change of
base, as it calls it, on the free school
and immigration questions, is turn
ing the popular tide again into
Texas. No Governor has had any
influence upon this immigration
movement. immigration stopped
while Coke was Governor, and it
stopped because the people in Eu-
rope and the older states, who desir.
ed TO move, could find no purchasers
for property. and because they had
NO money with which to move. Cas-
tie Garden, the great immigra-
ton depot in New York, was closed
for wears. and has now been open
again less than Il year. With FelIi
val in business and activity in trade
people have secured the means with
which to move. and Texas with a
year OF plentyis now beginning 10
get its share of immigration. Last
year. while we were importing
food for man and beast from
the Northwest immigrants came no
further than these Northwestern
States. where there was plenty and
to spare. They would have been
fools TO come to Texas then, to ex-
haust their purses in living, before a
crop could be made, and hence they
acted wisely in not doing so.
There was not enough grain raised
in all Western Texas last year to
feed San Antonio for a month, and
now, when Providence has smiled
upon all Texas, and when ships
come direct from Bremen to Calves
ton with immigrants, and when rail-
road trains are loaded with people.
who come to live with us, the folly
of such an assertion as is made by
the Express is too apparent to be
passed unnoticed. These Ger-
mans who came TO Texas in the
America knew nothing of our
political system, and we NAV
venture the assertion that not
one of them thought upon the
subject of free education of their
children. and the further assertion is
ventured that none of them knew
the amount of money expended by
the state in education. This was moi
the motive with these people. and
the absurdity of the Express is dis
covered in the fact, that for months
il has complained that Texas does
nothing for the education of its chin
dren, while these Northwestern
States do all that the indolent hu-
man heart could wish. The same Is
given to schools now as was given
last year, and il may remain as now
for years TO come. This is what
stopped immigration. says the Er-
press. and now il viii tell us what
started IT. The STATESMAN does
not think that anything Governor
Roberts has done has influenced a
single human being to come TO
Texas, Unless il be that people
abroad have been allured by the pol
icy now inangnrated, and which
it is hoped viii be continued, where
BY our expenditures are confined

that grand result of medical research and
synthetic skill, Hostetter's stomach Bitters.
was given to the world. Soon after it had
been started on Its curative mission &c was
discovered that its botanic properties far
surpassed those Of the approved mineral
remedies Of the day. Not the least among
the good consequences of its general use
has been to disabuse mems minds of the
many absurd medical allacias. and TO
demonstrate the superiority Of vegetable
remedies. It cOnquers and prevents mala-
rial levers, dyspepsia, chronic eonstipa-
ton, a tendency to kidney and bladder
ailments and rheumatism, and Is Of the
greatest value in cases Of bodily trouble
arising from weakness Old people are
greatly aided by it, and it is highly serV-
iceable to convalescsuts and ladies in deli

CLEVELAND, November I, 1878.
Editors &" WlEcEteT Gm Erie" CZeUeLgnd, o.
GENTLEMEN Allow me, as an old read
er of your valued journal, herewith to send
you few lines, which please insert in
your next issue. I viii vOuch for their
truth, and know that by their publication
a great deal Of good will be accomplished.
Having been a reader Of your paper for
many years, 1 hope you viii kindly grant
my request.
For twelve years I had suffered, from
time to time, terribly with rheumatism,
to such an extent that was unable to
move about and lost the use of my limbs.
tried everything recommended to effect
a cure, consulted some of the most prOmi-
nent physicians, and expended large sums
of money, hoping to find relief, but with
out any success. Glancing over the col
umns Of ''WRehter," I read about the st.
JasObs Oil and the many cures this remedy
had effected. Having been disappointed
so many times, lost all faith in any rem
edy, the st. Jacobs Oil included, until I
saw one day that it had cured welI-knOwn
citizen with whom I am acquainted. 9th
or parties fully endorsed the value and
wonderful power Of the Oil, telling me that
it had cured them Of different ailments in
a very short time. This brought me to a
conclusion. I said to myself, ''SChWeizer,
fifty cents won't break yOu;" so I went to
my druggist, Mr.. Book, bought a bottle of
the Oil, and must now confess that the re-
suit was truly wonderful I used it every
two hours, and found relief Immediately up
on the first application, and the pain ceas-
ed entirely after few more applications.
Fearing a new attack, / remained in bed
and continued to use the remedy every
three hours. All pain having left me, I
arose from my bel and walked down stairs
without any trouble.
Since that time have been able to fol-
low my occupation and feel no pains or
inconvenience, however disagreeable the
changes Of the weather may be. Having
thoroughly tested the St. Jacobs Oil, 1
can cOnscfentoUsly recommend it to ali af-
hicted with Rheumatism. Fifty cents is a
small expense when the services for so
trihing an outlay are cOneidered. If Twas
one thousand miles away from all human
habitatiOn, should, nevertheless, procure
this remedy and keep it always in my
house. LOUIS SCHwEIzER.

recommended as superior even to hair

of the name Of Siehr says that has own
house, exposed to prolonged storms on

each spring; and after trying,
without effect, a number Of substances
to prevent it he found saWdust perfectly
satisfactory. It was first thoroughly
dried, and sifted through an ordinary
