MILAN EXCHANGE
SATURDAY, JUNE 8. 1882.
LETTER FROM TEXAS.

Editor Exchange:
Farmers have so far this spring
had an excellent season for preparing
for planting and cUltivating the vari-
Gus crops generally produced in this
climate. However, the spring was a
little backward and wet. Prospects
were never better in May $50 the
knowing ones say for an abundant
harvest, and with continuation of
good seasons minus worms, caterpil>
lars, grasshoppers and other causes of
crop failures 80 common in Texas, we
will surely have splendid times next
fall. Corn is tasseling and silking,
the earliest being in the roasting ear
state. AS early as last Wednesday
we had green corn in the market,
Cotton on an average, to use a farmers
expression, is "knee high" and bloom
ing.
1t seems at present as though Tex
as will be couvulsed and shaken to
her very hearts core, politically, in
the coming fall elections. Col. g.
(Wash) Jones, of Bastrop, present
M. G. from this district, has announced
himself an independent "go>as>you-
please" greenback candidate for gov
ernor. Gen. J. b. Robertson, of
Waco, has declared himself an inde-
pendent democratic candidate for the
same position, and the democratic
and republican state convention will
each put man in the field. so that
we will have at least four applicants
for Gubernatorial honors. The legis-
lature at its present sitting passed a
bill reducing the railroad fare from
five to three cents per mile, and this
legal interference with the roads has
caused the magnates to sit square
down on Gov. Roberts, the present
legislature and the democratic party
also. The time is not far distant
when the firm iron grip of monopolists
will begin to squeeze Texas as 1en>
nessee.
The cattle and stock business in
this state is assuming mammoth pro-
portions. Prices firm and higher
than ever known.
We had the privilege of inspecting
a centipede few days ago, preserved
in alcohol, that was instrumental in
producing as sad scene and result
as could be well conjectured. An
immigrant, wife and child, travelling
the public road from Brennan tc
Austin, camped on creek. From the
circumstances it appears that they
did not arrive at the creek until OF
about dark. They prepared and att
supper and retired to have their spir
its waited to an eternal home. Mex
morning when found both parent
were dead and the little nine month:
old child ESTIMATED age) had worl
its clothing into shreds crawling
around promiscuously. No visibl
signs of physical violence having heel
done them, and the party's watch ant
money having been found unmolestet
on his person, the coroner was utterl
at loss to know what manner Of a ver
dict to render. About this time, how
ever, an inquisitive juror began t
examine the cooking utensils and 500
found in the tea kettle centiped
lust nine and one>half inches long
from which the quintessence of deaf
had been extracted in the boilin
process of making coffee the nigh
previous.
1t is distressingly healthy just q
present.
We bequeath to you, Milan an
district 13, solid comfort and abur
dant success.

l. ton to do justice to all arties, and to ad-
vocate only that which 1t believes will best SUBJ
serve the true interest of the great Southwest.
Its course will not vary from that which the
public have SO warmly and substantially in
dorsed. 1t does not propose to ally iteslf with
any political party except in Sc far as that al
lance may at the time accomplish good result
1t does not look to or care for the personal or
political advancement of individuals unless
they represent vital principles the enforcement
of whichit desires. It's relation to all existing
parties is such that it can afford to be fair in
its dealings with them as to commend all that
is good and condemn all that is hurtful. The
Avalanche will hold and express positive views
on all questions of public interest. 1t will
speak fearlessly and honestly without equivo-
cation or evasion, and attempt to give some
other reason more than prejudice for either
the advocacy or condemnation of a public
measure. Its aim is to be just.

Card to the Public.

The success of the American Theater, un- der my management has brought about con- siderable rumor and speculation, and in some instances these have been so wide of the mark that it is proper I should correct them AS theatrical manager, I have all my life dealt openly and plainly with the public. My work and methods are as clear as the day. Any person who has the right to know can always find out what I am doing and what am going to do. It is proper to say, therefore, that propose to run the American Theater as in every respect a first class spe- cialty theater, placing upon it's stage every attraction that can amuse the public, holding myself responsible that on no occasion will anything be said or done that could possibly offend the severest critic of the theatre am ca ering for the patronage of the ladies and children, as we'll as the gentlemen, and will make it my especial care at all times to see that my en- tertainments chaste, refined and moral Therefore, the American, while under my control, will be 8 first class theatre The Legitimate" and 'comedy drama" leave to other houses. At the American propose to present magnificent variety performances, contributed to by first artists, every night. In a theatre like the American the public must necessarily be presented with the very best attractions in the theatrical market, week after week, if it's manager be competent to understand the public taste and cater to it. This competency I pretend to, and the season that is now opening will, I believe, prove to the New Haven public that a first class variety theatre can be run with profit to the manager and credit to the city. Among the at fractions already booked for the American are some which cannot be excelled in taste and at tractiveness No expense has been spared to give the American's patrons the very best that can be secured in the speciality line, and so far open dates are concerned my patrons may rely on vigilant care on my art to present to them the very newest and best variety combinations that in the meantime commend themselves to the profession and to the public. Very respectfully,

A New Enterprise.
Artifi cial Stone to be Manufac-
 tured in New Haven.

new enterprise is about to be established in this city by some of our we'll known enter prlslng business men, men whose names at the head of an undertaking is guarantee of it's success. The article to be manufactured is artificial stone and marble under the Weems patents, and is equal and even supe- rior for the purposes for which it is designed to the genuine. In it's use there is 8 saving of about 50 to 70 per cent. in cost for build 1 ing purposes and a much larger saving in the ornamental portion of the work. In Balti more, New York and Chicago manufaetories are already established and are d ing 8 lucra- tive business. In Baltimore the large and new produce exchange has been completed l for cold storage by artificial refrigeration with 200, 900 cubic feet of space and a capac- l ity of 4,oo0 tons dead weight, independent of machinery. In Chicago whole squares are being erected with this material. Nine miles of pavement have already been completed and orders are on hand to last months or years.
 The official report of General Q. A. Gill I more of the United States army, who has giv en the material thorough tests, is sufficient proof of it's utility and value. Capitalists and investors and those desirous of making safe and profitable investment where large re- turns are believed by knowing ones to. be the
 result, will do we'll to call at the office of Long x Hinman, G3 Church street, opposite the postofice, where samples can be seen and particulars given. The books for subscrip- ton will be opened within three or four ! days, and $50, ,OOO is the extent of cash sub- scriptions that will be needed and it IS be- lieved that this amount will be at once sub [ scribed. The company will be owners of the rights for all the New England States. The I anufactory will be located in New Haven. In addition to Gen. Gilmore's statement, Prof. Toury, Ph. D., State Chemist of Mary land, says that as far as standing an intense heat is concerned the Weems stone is better than granite and infinitely better than mar ble, and there is no doubt but this stone is destined to be the great building material of

We call your attention to the advertise ment of Simmons Liver Regulator, which appears in the paper of to-day. This stan- dard remedy, the only genuine of which is manufactured by J. H.

CuTabls and Incur able

In Beckford's HaH of Edlis, the crowd is represented as running around, each man with an incurable wound in his bosom, and agrees not to speak of it. How many there are all around us that have the painful and wearisome symptoms of kidney or liver dis ease, but kept by false deicacy from speaking of it. But the disease is restrained by no such feeling of delicacy, but silently and insidiously works on in the dark, until the patient is compelled to call in aid. How much better to take it in time, and to secure Hunts Remedy, the great kidney medicine, and give the disease it's death blow in it's very beginning. This is the one medicine that can search out, and root out, every ill of kidneys or liver, and that cures cases that seem incurable
