ArrestIng the Progress of Consumption.

In this disease, as every one is aware, the
only hope of the patient lies in the establish
ment OF higher vital condition. Efforts are
made to reach this through outdoor exercise,
and by various other means for improving the
general health which are known to nvalids
and physicians Now, in the Vitalizing Treat
mcnt of Drs Starkey & Palen, 1109 Girard ST.,
Philadelphia, has been discovered an agent that
gives directly this higher vitality, which gem
orally becomes apparent at the very outset of
its use. This is manifest in all almost imme-
diate increase of appetite, and in a sense of life
and bodily comfort. If the Treatment is con-
tinued, a steady improvement nearly always
follows; and, whero the disease has not become
too deeply seated, a cure may be confidently
looked for. II you would have satisfactory
evidence of this. send to Drs. Starlzey & Palen
for such documents and reports of cases as will
enable you to judge for yourself, and they viii
be promptly furnished

governor, arrived in the city about 8
O'Clock p. M. This evening the piazza
of the Beach hotel presented a lively
arp5 arance. Several thousand people
were assembled upon the broad YER
andas fronting the hotel, at
trac;ed by the band of music
and fireworks, a refreshing
breeze and the distinguished presence
of he governor of Texas. With a
hundred or more of his political friends
the governor came to Galveston to
enjoy a season of rest after the fatigue
of the convention; but, Judging from
the continuous stream of visitors who
heartily congratulate him, aud wiring
his hand, he is in a poor way to secure
that enjoyable end.
Just at present fully 100 delegates
to the late convention are accompany
ing the governor on his visit to the
Island city. Among the many gentle
men OF prominence at present enjoy
Ing the hospitality of Galveston and

FROM COLORADO.

COLORADO, IEXAs, August 21.-
We are having rain this time, sure
enough. The coquctting business in
the clouds has been going on for the
past week. To-day the corks were
opened and the refreshing liquid is
pattering down on roof and window
pane in manner to satisfy the most
exacting. From present appearances
come to stay. 1t is worth an incalcu-
liable amount to this country. Grass
was getting fearfully short around
water holes. Cattle can now step
back to the high places and feed on
pastures for months untouched.
stock shipments to-day, "a cars to
Chicago.
We await here with no little anxiety
the action of the Houston convention
on the land question. The few friends
of the lease system, however, feel con-
fident that it will be endorsed. The
land boards action in returning all
applications from this district last
month is generally commented upon.
1t is not dou 9ted that said board had
right to suspend action on applica-
lions where there was all informality
in the surveyors endorsement, but to
remand them back to competition
when they had already undergone
competition, seems to be an exercise
of arbitrariness not expected of the
board. and will call down upon it the
criticism of those who were its friends
in this section.
Winfield Scott returned from ST.
Louis to-day, and work will be re-
sumed on the St. James hotel this
week

THE BURNING MINES.

SHAMokrN, PA, August 22.-No
Improvement in the situation a: the
burning mine at Buckridge. The gas
Is very strong in the Greenback mine,
buC the men got down forty-five feet
without recovering any of the bodies.
As an experiment, dog was forced
down TO the spot where the bodies of
Beck and White are supposed to be
lying; the animal was alive when
hoisted up. This indicates that these
two bodies Can be recovered. The
location of other bodies is unknown
at Greenback Slope, this afternoon,
the body of VIM. Clark was recovered
at depth of IS yards, and VIM. Tay-
lcr's body short distance down.
LATER.-The bodies of Robert
White and Geo. Beck were recovered
this afternoon from the Buckridge
,aIliery. A search for the remaining
bodies was greatly retarded by water
in the slope; the water is being pump
ed out to facilitate the search, and it
is expected the other bodies will be
found by morning.
