Our Rapid Transitory Existence,
Brief as it is at the longest, is liable to be ma
terially curtailed by our own indiscreUons. The
dyspeptic eat what they should not, bilious drink
coffee in excess, and the rheumatic, neuralgia
and consumptive sit in draughts, get wet feet and
remain in damp clothes, and then wonder when
ill how they became so. To persons with ten
dency to neuralgia, we recommend daily use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and always wine
glassful after unavoidable exposure in damp or
otherwise nclement weather. Efficient protec-
ton Is afforded by this pleasant safeguard, which
difuses genial glow through the system, invig-
CRATES and tones it, and promotes nerve and tran
guilty. Fever and ague, biiiousHess constipa-
ton. dyspepsia and renal disorders are among
the maladies which it remedies and prevents.

LETTER from Rio de JaneirO, dated
September 20, says: At the proposal of
Condo de S. Salvador de Mattosinhos,
the Chief of the Portuguese colony, So
ciety has been founded for the purpose
of freeing by purchase or otherwise, all
the slaves belonging to the estates of de-
ceased Portuguese citizens of Brazil.
This will be a valuable contribution to
abolition, as the slaves held by Portu-
guese residents are very numerous. The
Rio de Janeiro planter who is going to
free and locate his 5000 slaves is not
de Nova Friburgo, as at first rumored,
but Commentator Joaquin Jose Breves,
the celebrated planter, who is popularity
known as "Kill 'em" from his alleged
ogreish practice. The number of slaves
in the empire on the Both, of June, 1885
was officially reported at 1888, 228, but
must now be under a million, through
the operation of death, liberation and the
freedom of sixty year-olds. At the
same date the number of children born
free by virtue of law of 1871 was 1885,

The Cause of the Terrible Disaster.

GALVESTON, Oct. 14.-This city has been
in a state of feverish excitement all day
over the dreadful news from Sabine
Pass. The town lies only four feet above
the mean tide mark and is bounded by a
great swamp on the west and lake Sabine
on the north. The entrance to lake Sabine
is mile and half above the town. The
lake is Is miles in width, and from to 10
miles wide, with an average depth of Z
feet, which is always maintained by a
huge volume of water pouring into the
basin from the two rivers the Neches and
Sabine. 1t was this lake, according to
the most experienced navigators on the
coast, that

DESTROYED THE TOWN.

The hurricane of last Sunday in the
West Indies blew the waters with great
violence toward the Texas coast. This
hurricane was first noticed on this coast
on Sunday morning, attaining
its maximum on Tuesday after
noon. 1t was maintained at a high
point by the impetus of the waters be-
hind. The hurricane itself did not
reach these coasts at ali, as scarcely a
breath of wind was stirring when the tidal
wave first touched the coast. When its
maximum was reached on Tuesday after
noon, however, a fierce northwestern
gale sprung up along the whole coast
and at Sabine this gale blew the waters
out of lake Sabine and drove them to-
ward the gulf where the lake waters were
net by the great swell carried by the hur-
ricane. This resulted in driving the
lake waters over into the little
town and submerging the country for
ten miles around without a moments
notice. As soon as the collector
of customs was apprised of the
disaster, he ordered the govern
ment tug Penrose to prepare
to make a trip to Sabine, and started at
2 o'clock this afternoon. The Penrose
