This is One of Them.

The poorest advertiser in this city is
Joe Beokmann, the boot and shoe man,
No. I'll Commerce street. He does not
advertise SO and so many thousand dol
lars worth of boots and shoes at cost,
he says, because he does not buy such
bad stock; he knows too much about his
business to get sold that way, conse-
quently. has no stock he is compelled to
sell at cost to get rid of. He never sells
an e. at cost. has no old stock to sell of.
But he does sell good boots and shoes
cheaper than his competitors do the
same quality. He also makes boots and
shoes 10 order. and says when once
man has one pair made by him, he gives
them such good satisfaction that the
customer becomes a walking advertise
ment for him. He lets his work adver-
tise for him, and, consequently. needs
no newspaper advertisement. He sells
the world renowned Douglas $500 shoe,
for which he is sole agent, and as q prac-
teal shoe maker, recommends them to
surpass any $500 in the country.

Does Prohibition Prohibit.

From the sunny South, Atlanta. Ga.
We are inclined to think that, in
measure, prohibition does prOhi-
bit 1t is deep and strong feel.
ing, entertained by large, intelli-
gent, and most respectable class
of people that the sale of intOxicat-
ing drink should forbidden by law,
and it would be a very wonderful
thing if this sentiment, cryStalized
into statute, should be merely
nugatOry. We do not think that
it is nugatOry but, on the contrary
that it is, to great degree, effec-
tual. The question, therefore,
as to whether prohibition prOhi-
bits is one that has its answer,
but another and graver question
arises to our minds, namely. will
prohibition last! This question
has been suggested by certain of
fetal statistics lately made public.
The commissioner of internal rev
enue reports that from 1876 to
1855 the production of ardent
spirits decreased, but that the
last fiscal year shows an enormous
increase. the amount being So
IA, 4SO gallons. or 7.51O,1S2 over
the year preceding. He also re-
ports that, while the tax paid last
year. on removals from warehouse
was 1000 900 over that of last year
the increased production was so
great that the balance i'll stock is
4,O0O,000 gallons in excess. He
further shows that the number of
distillerieS in active operation has
increased, and. lately, states that
i'll July. August and September,
1886, the production of spirits was
2,00O,000 gallons greater than i'll
the corresponding period of 1885.
But one conclusion can be ar
rived at from these facts and fig
ures, and that is, that the pend
lum of prohibition has begun to
swing back. The successful agi-
tatiOn of the temperance question
ton from 1876 to 1885 steadily
pressed the production of liquor
down. but now. all of a sudden,
and Just as prohibition seems in
the high ascendant, when state
after state and community after
community has wheeled into line,
these cold-bloOded figures an
nOunce that the demand for ar
dent spirits has enormously in
creased. The increase for the
year is 1900, 900 gallons, and for
the latter portion of the year at
rate greater even than that, show
ing a constant augmenting ratio.
John BarleycOrn seems, like
AntRus. to have gathered new
strength from his fall.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
Collection Of Documents for the History

VI IGAdo'
BY LORENZO CASTRO.
The writer of this article has for
years past been engaged in making
a collection of documents for the
history Of Texas from its early
discovery to the date of the indie.
pendence of Mexico from Spain.
He has examined the archives ut
the cities of Mexico. San LUI de
Potosi. SaItillO. Monterey. and
Laredo. and regrets to say that
these have been so purlOlued that
little or nothing is to he found in
them. for instance. all documents
concerning Texas. which formed
part of the archives of NuevO
Leon were given by the secretary
of state. Don Manuel &. ReiOn, to
Don Antonio QuinterO. who lost
them during the war. Most Of
those in the City of Mexico were
sold to the manufacturers of fire
crackers and retail grOcers by dis
tingnshed men for purposes Of
making money out of them. \
distinguished author. Don Carlos
Bustamente. alluding to this act
of vandalism, says that only wild
Indians could be guilty of such an
outrage at the present time.

Although it has been believed
that the river Nueces was the
dividing line between COahuila
and TEXAS. according to maps
published | have been informed
by the geOgraphers of the states
that it was a great error. that
really the dividing line between
the two states began at the mouth
of the Arkansas and followed said
river to it's head and from that
point with right line to the
mouth of the Medina and san
Antonio rivers. thence following
the Medina river to its head
springs. and from the head waters
of Medina to the boundary line of
Chihuahua. The boundary of the
department of Beiar with Coahuila
are those above described. and
with the department of BraZOS are
as follows: Beginning at the mouth
of the La Naca river following its
west bank until it struck the
southern boundary of what was
known as Green Dewitt colony.
leaving the river and following
said limit westward until coming
to the Guadalupe river. then north
west following the western limit
of said colony to the road leading
from Bcjar to Nac0gdOCheS. and
from that point nOrthward until it
struck the Red river OF Nachito-
ches. The area of this depart
ment is of about 10000 square
leagues. more or less. Its capitol
is San Antonio de Beiar. and its
principal settlements are those of
Beiar, residence of the political
chief. Goliad or Bahia del Espiritu
SantO. Victoria and San PatriciO.
Each department is governed by
a political chief or chief of police
who presidcs over the munlclpaIi-

whose duty it is to see that the
general state laws are enforced.
He is selected by the government
of the state upon the proposition

SEA PORTS.
That of FL COpanO appears 10
he the one that possesses the
greatest depth OF water, accord
inc to the best information that |
obtain in Beiar there is from ID to
Ii feet OF water on the bar and
from 10 to l. in the hay Of Aram-
SaS. small boats can anchor at
short distance from the main land.
Although there ir no running
stream emptying at COpanO. the
rain water is good and CiSterns
can easily be constructed. This
port Of COpanO is well situated for
maritime custom house. The
land is high and there is enough
timber III its vicinity. The Aran-
Sas river is about eight miles dis
tant and the RefugiO creek at
about the same distance. There
are two roads from this port to
GOIiad-One wagon road and the
other trail. The distance be
tween the two places is from to
II leagues. The anchorage is
excellent and can admit over 100
ships. it is eight leagues distant
from the bar, which can easily be
defended by building a fort at the
mouth OF the bay, as can clearly
be seen by looking at the map of
TEXAS.
This department has two more
ports. that of Corpus Christi, sit
uated south of COpanO, and that
of FL SabinitO, situated nOrthward
in the bay of NatagOrda at the
mouth Of the San Antonio and
Guadalupe rivers. The latter
point is reached by entering by
Pass del CabaIlO and steering
westward. Ships that draw only
six feet of water can safely ride
into the ports OF Corpus Christi
and SabinitO. The port of Ri
CopOuO has been occasionally
visited 10y ships, hut at present
there is only one house there,
INDIAN TRIBES AT PEACE.
There are in the vicinity OF
GOliad some remnants of the fol-
lowing Indian tribes. viz: the
Cuianes. COCOs. Carancahues and
.IaramieS. Ofthe first two tribes
there remains about 10 to II fami-
lies, ofthe CarancahUeS from TOTO
l. families. and OF the .laramirS
from Is to ~ families. The Car
ancahues formerly lived at the
missions Of Ell RetugiO. founded
in 1871. which today is abandon
ed. near the port of COpauO.
These Indians We're in the habit of
having their children baptized at
GOIiad, but as they have Of late
committed many rOhberie>. They
are now roaming about the iaguneS
along the coast. They are first
class fishermen. good SWIMMERS
almost raised in the water and il
is probable that if they were EN-
plOyed as sailors would prove
themselves very useful, at present
they are the best pilots of the
bays of Matagorda and Arkansas.
They do not use any other arms
but their bows and arrows. 1t
has been said that they were can
nibals, hut | believe that to be a
fable.
The Jaramies are peaceful
tribe of Indians who live at place
called FL OsO. situated about Is
miles from the hay on the San An.
