y A Twenty Years. Experience.

G. d. Fredrioks, the well-known pho
tograPher, 40 Broadway, N. Y, says:'
81 have been using ALLoocK's Porous
PLAsTERs for twenty years, and found
them one of the best family medicines.
Briefly summing up my experience, l say
that when placed on the small of the
back ALLoooK's PLAsTERs fill the body
with nervous energy, and thus cure ia
tigue, brain exhaustion, debility and kid
ney difficulties. For women and children
1 have found them invaluable. They never
irritate the skin or cause the slightest
pain, but cure sore throat, coughs, colds,
pains in side, back or chest, indigestion
and bowel com plants"

THE CORPUS CoLLECToRSHIP.


Only few weeks ago the horoscope OF
Mr.. Jodon, of BRENNAN, seemed clear and
fair for one of the lucrative places of
federal patronage In Texas. I Be part
played by Mr.. Jodon in the Wa ngton
county troubles-his faithfulness to all
except his own home people-gave him
standing with such big medicine men in
their party as Evarts, Hoar, Chandler and
others, and it is safe to say few suppliants
at the foot of federal power have
journeyed from Texas to the
political Mecca with better, more
Influential endorsement than Jodon.
His chances for good, soft place were at
very high premium; in fact might have
been considered better than General Nal
loy's, or these of Quincy himself. But
JJdon's evil genius appeared in the shape
of ex Congressman Ochiltree, whose intlu-
ence with the republican administrations
previous to Cleveland seems about to be
renewed under Harrison. word from
Colonel Ochiltree in the ears of the re-
publican senators, and presto! Mr.. DO
don'5 grip on Corpus Christi and its GUS
tom house is loosened and his hopes vanish
like vision of the night. Evarts
and other able and distinguished
endorsers of the ex-Brenhamite have with
drawn their signatures to his petition, and
down goes Mr.. Jodon into the disagreea-
Bile position of being ground between the
upper and neither millstones. With the
republican chieftains turning their backs,
and the democrats already down on him,
Mr.. Jodon is not at this juncture to be
envied, and the waning of his political
fortunes at Washingt ton serves to illustrate
the woes, the difficulties, tribulations and
present disgust of the average office seek
or from Texas, now worshipiug at the
shrine of the new administration.

Her Face was Her Fortune.

She was as pretty as a picture and so
animated and lively that it did one good
to look at her. She was all this but she
is not now. Poor soul, the roses liUger
no more in her cheeks, the former luster
of her eyes is gone. She is a woe-begone
looking piece of humanity now. She has

women and needs DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t recuperstes the wasted
strength, puts the whole system right,
restores the roses and the
luster and makes the woman what she once
was, bright, well and happy. "Favorite
Prescription" is the only medicine for
women, sold by druggist, under a posi-
tive guarsn tee, from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every case,
or money will be refunded. This guarsn-
tee has been printed on the bottle-wrsp-
per, and faithfully carried out for many
years.

GEN. MAxEY's UNIVERSITY address
Yesterdays Galveston News published
the following editorials:

Yesterdays Galveston News published
the following editorials:
The friends of the State university
have labored early and late with Texas
Legislatures to be liberal to that institu-
ton. The legislatures have invariably
responded with what said friends consider
pittanoes, and these doled out. The ex
cuses of the legislators have always been
that they did not consider themselves Ru-
thorized by the Constitution to 60 into the
general fund for aid to the institution,
and on these excuses they have managed
to escape any rounding up by their CON
stituents. There is an opinion prevalent
among the friends aforesaid to the effect
that if real nervy governor would take
firm position in favor of bigger appro-
priations for this institution the legisla-
lures could be made to 10 something.
The announcement, therefore, o. ex-Sen-
ator Maxey, that the Legislature has the
power to make appropriations from the
general revenue for the maintenance of
the University, must awaken it's friends to
the fact that there is man within reach
of requisite nerve TO push their views il
they will place him where he can work. A
governor is to be elected in 1890, and Gen
eral Maxey is in good health and intellect
ually as spry as he ever was.
Who viii be our next governor is very
uncertain but if General Maxey is, it is
very certain as the "News" puts it, that he
will have the requisite nerve to carry out
the vlNws in regard to the University
vpl, oh Ha knl -,
matter of fact he is one among the lew
prominent men of the state who have in a
public way placed themselves fairly en-
record as in favor of building up an insti-
tuition upon the scale outlined by the
Fathers OF the Republic. If he should at
any time need the help of the friends of
the University it ought not to be difficult
for him to secure it.

GENERAL GEORGE NANCY, recently APP
pointed United States minister to Uru-
quay and Paraguay, was lieutenant in
the Mexican war and has served several
terms in the Legislature of Tennessee. He
was colonel of the First Tennessee Infan-
try in the Confederate army, and was pro-
NOTED to the rank of brigadier-general.
He joined the republican party in 1872,
and supported General Grant for SEQ
ond term. He was at one time the re-
publican candidate for governor of Ten
nessee, and has represented this govern
ment as minister to the United States of
Columbia, in South America. General
Nancy is a lawyer of ability and a gentle
man of high character.

What will Browns Iron Bitters cure?
1t will ours dyspepsia, indigestion, weak
ness, malaria, rheumatism and all similar
diseases. It's wonderful curative power is
simply because it purities the blood, thus
beginning at the foundation, and by
building up the system drives out all dis
ease. For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subject it is invaluable. 1t is

color the teeth or cause headache.

MANY of the great men of literature are

which seems to rule in nature. Handel

insanity.

IT WAS a very neat way in which the
News put General Maxey in nomination
for governor for 1890; it is hardly pr )ba-
BILE, however, that the University will be
such an issue as to dictate a candidate for
that year. But it is exceedingly hattering
10 the future of that institution for the
public men OF the state to begin to take
the position just outlined by General
Ma1ey and come out boldly for such a
University as the state should have. This
is the stand the rising generation will oo-
'supy, and our statesmen of to-day will
be simply anticipating the future and do
ing what surely will prove popular
thing, if they seize their present oppor-
tunity.

WITH one accord the nation joins in q
common regret over the death of Mrs.
Rutherford B. Hayes. In presence
as in native force, she was one of the most
striking and influential ladies who ever
occupied the White House. She was in
deed the ruling spirit and the life of the
four years during which her husband was
regarded the president of the Union.
Even with her assistance his term of office
was namely weak, without her it is diff
cult to imagine what that interregnum
would have been. The south has nothing
but unstinted respect for the memory of
Mrs. Hayes.
