The Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans Times Democrat" reports
that ex-senator Window has consented to
accept the presidency of the Texas, Topo.
loyampo and Pacific Railroad Company. A
bill has been under consideration in Con-
gress chartering the company so as to al
low the construction Of its connections in
Texas. Topolovampo, a harbor on the
Mexican Pacific coast, is to be the termi-
nus of this trans-continental line, and as
it is only 1850 miles from New Orleans,
there will be saving of distance of about
500 miles. compared with the other lines to
the Pacific. The line runs through the
richest mineral belt in the world, affording
an outlet to the region about Batopiles.
where Ex-Governor Sheperd is working for
ty mines, and has gathered a thrifty popula-
ton of over five thousand persons. The COM
pany is acting under a charter obtained in
Massachusetts, authorizing the construction
OF railroads in foreign countries. and Mex
leo has granted valuable concessions that
will secure its com pleton.

A PRINCELY REsIDENCE.

The family residence of the Glenn's at the
southeast corner of Jackson and Lake Streets.
in this city, is one OF the most sumptuous and
palatial establishments devoted to family use
on this coast. In fact it has always taken rank
as one of the typical elegant homes OF Oakland
and San Francisco and well deserves that dis
tincIion as it is truly palace-like in its pro-
portions and finish and is most advantageously
situated for its intended purpose as the abode
of refinement and wealth. The building was
primarily the property of the Latham family,
by whom it was sold to Dr. Glenn few wears
since for the sum OF 500, 000 the price includ-
Ing the extensive grounds, the commodious
stable and other structures. The original cost
OF the establishment is said to have been
Sl25,000. The entire plan and construction
OF the mansion and the disposition of the
grounds evinces the highest degree of refined,
cultivated and unobtrusiYe taste. Every arti-
Gle of use and adornmcnt in and about the
mansion bears witness 10 this correctness of
taste. The grounds are ornamented by fount-
aims, a fence of unique and agreeable pattern,
and shruDbery. The exterior OF the building
which is more imposing from its size than from
any architec ural pecu art es, IS two stories
in heighth with ornamental projections, cor
nices and bay windows and mansard roof In
teriorly there is much to commend in the
style OF the furnishings. The rooms are fitted
throughout with walnut, carved mostly by
hand, in manner certainly unsurpassed by
any similar work in this State. This dark rich
wood constitutes the entire bulk of the furni-
ture, pannellng and doors and is matched in

When mud is permitted to dry on newly
vanished carriage or wagon, every spot
leaves a mark. To avoid this the new varnish
should be washed with clean water and
a sponge and dried with soft cloth and
rubbed with chamois leather After this,
mud is not SO apt to spot the varnish But it
isbest always to wash off the mud before it
is dry. Water should never be allowed to
dry upon the yarnish it should always be

Good Advice.

You will prevent and cure the greater part
of the ills that afflict mankind in this or any
section, ifyou keep your stomach, liver and
kidneys in perfect working order. There is
no medicine known that does this as surely as
Parkers Ginger Tonic. 1t will keep your
blood rich and pure, and give you good health
at little cost See other column.

Encourage newspaper reading among
your children, and you will soon discover
what a fondness they will have for their

improve. The newspapers is the poor mans
library-every family should be provided

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or coasnte,1sated. This is
especially true of a family medicine, and it Is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of
the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitlers was the purest, best and most val
liable family medicine on earth, many imlta-
tons sprung up and began to steal the notices
in which the press and people of the country
had expressed the merits of Il. B., and in eY-
cry way trying to induce suffering invalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of H. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in sim
liar style of Fl. b., with variously devised
names IN which the word ''Hop'' or Hops"
were used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word "Hop" or Hops in their name
or in any way connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterfets. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or
cluster of green Hops on the white label.
Trust nothing else. Druggists and dealers
are warned against dealing in limitations or
counterfeits.
