VIVA. a German Newspaper says.


We Germans are In general not sneiin-
ed To believe at onSe In great announce
ments aud puffs; we are rather suspicious,
and often with perfect right, OF exagger-
ations aud humbugs. Our motto L.,
'What the eye sees the heart believes, :"
and we therefore desire to see and exam
inc ourselves before We speak about
things and praise them. This was our
idea when we heard and read so much
about DIR. 5. A. Richmond's justly eele-
DRAFTED Worlds Epileptic Institute, and
we therefore sent reporter to the build
Ing. We are now able to give the best
Information on the subject, based on a
personal review and examination OF the
premises.
Our reporter found DR.. Richmond In
his office. The doctor kindly received
him, and not only answered all his 'ques-
tions, but showed and explained every
thing about the place TO him. His office
Is on the first fioor of the building, and
its walls are covered with thousands Of
photographs Of gentlemen aud ladies' res
tored to health by the use Of Samaritan
Nervine, among whom our reporter re-
cogpized many of his own countrymen,
aud Its glass eases contain innumerable
certificates Of cures and letters in praise
OF this world-famous remedy,
About ten years ago DR.. Richmond
came 70 Sc. JOSEPH. He was then a.poor
friends to assist him. He rented a small
ofiice Of Francis street, and commenced
the struggle for success single-hauded,
stubborn oppression on every hand, and
il to-day one OF the wealthiest men in
our midst. This fact alone Is simply suf-
feient to show the merits OF his invalua-
BILE Preparations, even though there were
no other sources from which te procure
valid aud reliable testamony.
But besides the money which this great
medielnc has been the means OF bringing
70 the inventor, the doctor receives daily
the blessings Of thous nds or patients
restored 70 health and hsppiness through
his instrumentalify. These letters are
open for inspection NJ his Office. and IL
requires TWO clerks TO attend 10 this
branch ofthe business. Nh ~
Dr. Richmond Il living example 10 be
initiated BY all young men who have a
disposition TO reach eminence In the
world by indulgence IN the use OF their
own exertiens, and besides the enjoy
ment Of the prosperity which SURROUNDS
him, he has the satisfaction to be regar-

A new and very simple method of train
ing vicious horses was exhibited in West
Philadelphia recently. and the manner in
which some of the widest horses were
subdued was astonishing. The first trial
was that of kicking "bucking" mare,
which her owner said had allowed no ri
der on her back for a period of at least
five years She became tame in about as
many minutes, and allowed herself to be
ridden about without a sign OF her former
wildness. The means by which the re-
suit was accomplished was by piece of
light rope which was passed around the
front jaw of the mare just above the up
per teeth, crossed in her mouth and
thence secured back Of her neck. 1t was
claimed that no horse will kick or jump
when thus secured, and that "bucking"
horse. after receiving the treatment a
few times, will abandon his vicious ways
forever. A very simple method was also
shown by which kicking horse could be
shod. 1t consisted in connecting the
animals head and tail by means OF a rope
fastened to the tail ], and then the bit, and
then drawn tightly enough to incline the
animals head to one side. This. Ii Is
claimed, makes IL absolutely impossible
for the horse to kick on the side of the
rope. At the same exhibition, a horse
which for many years had to be bound on
the ground to be shod, suffered the black
smith to operate on him without attempt
ing to kick while secured in the manner

TEXAS PRESS OPINIONS.
THE CANVASS To OPEN.

Tyler Courier: The canvass for
state officers will open when the
Legislature adjourns, and it is none
too early now for the people to
think over the matter of who is
worthy and capable for the several
offices of the state. There is another
duty equally important to the PEG.
pie, and that is the election of county
officers. No county is safe with in
different, incompetent and untrust-
worthy officers, and it is the duty OF
the voter to secure the best material
for the several offices of his county
Good officers are a great blessing to
any county, but Indifferent officers
are great injury and drawback 10
