To New York the patient went, and Of the most
eminent Oculiss in the country having looked at the
case said; You have lost one eye entirely; go back
and do what you can to save the Other.n Briefly, DIR.
KENNEDY removed the ruined eye and treated Mr..
Craigg with "KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY" to
build up the system, and the result was successful

One Great Deed is Enough.

Watts Invented the steam engine;
Morse, the eletric telegraph; Whitney,

it saves life and cures disease. 1t puri-
fies the blood, drives bile from the sys-

RATHEB FUNNY.-Thc San Antonio Times
lately interviewed the notorious Ben Thomp-
son in jail there for murder. He is still
(nominally) marshal of Austin, and the
Times reported him as carrying on bureau
for the detection of crime at his headquart-
ers in the fail. It says HE is making
more money now, than many shrewd mar
chants of large capital can make with all
their freedom to come and Co." It reports
him as specially anxious to secure the arrest
of the assassin of Schwartz. Now if any
one even Philadelphia lawyer, can tell any
difference between the act Of Thompson
himself in killing Harris, and that of the
murderer of Schwartz, he surely must have
discernment above ordinary mortals. Each
one of the victims was slain in his own
house, without any provocation that is
known to the public, and in the most cow
ardly manner. The idea of one of these
assassins interesting himself in the capture
of the other, from any honest sympathy
with the law, justice or humanity, is mons
trous and ridiculous above ordinary concep.
ton.

In its appropriate place will be found the
the announcement of E. E. Lynch, of Cald-
well county, independent candidate for rep
resentative in the State Legislature. We
had a call from Mr.. Lynch on Saturday, and
were impressed by his personal appearance
as that of an honest, well meaning gentle
man. He is an old citizen of his county,
and, as he informed us, q lifelong Demo-
ocrat. He and his friends claim, as justi-
cation of thier independent action now, that
the primary meetings in Caldwell county
were so manipulated as to practically ex-
clude the better elements of the party. As
to that we know nothing; but we are sure
that Mr.. Lynch and his friends are .well-in-
tentioned citizens, and entitled to fair and
respectful treatment.

We invite special attention to the new ad-
vertisement Of VIM. D. Cleveland, the cele-
brated cotton dealer and wholesale grocer
of Houston. Everyone must have noticed
that larger proportion of cotton goes to
Houston this season. We learn, that facili-
ties have been greatly increased there The
same prices are obtained as at Galveston,
with lefs freight and charges. Mr.. Cleve-
land was the first, several years ago, to call
special attention to Houston as cotton mar
ket through the press. The result has just
fled all he said in its favor, and we are
glad tina. his foresight, liberality and bust
ness enterprise are reaping their appropri-
ate reward.

ATE NEWS ITEMS.
Local Politics.

The Farmers" Convention of this Sena-
torial and Representative District, was call
ed to meet at this place on Saturday last.
Owing to want of time, as its friends allege,
the other counties did not cooperate to any
great extent, so the movers contented them
selves with re-nominating Mr.. Lynch, OF
Caldwell, as their candidate for representa-
tive. Messrs. Pfeuffer, Stagner and
Mcbride, regular democratic nominees,
awaited themselves of the occasion to make
speeches. which we believe were well re.
ceived by their friends respectively.

We mentioned last week the new Austin
greenback paper the Argus. 1t appears to
to be printed from the material of the sus-
pended Capital but we find is under quite a
different management. The editor and pro-
proprietor is now Mr.. NJ. ]. Nolan, whom
we had the pleasure of meeting some time
since at San Antonio. We learn he is gen.
tleman of high character, and his paper
demonstrates his ability, culture, and devo-
ton to the principles of true democracy.
We believe be is by vocation a master me-
chanic, and hence well qualified to repre-
sent working men in an independent reform
movement. We should probably differ with
him as 20 modes Of action. but not as to the
spirit Of his work We wish him success.
