MOSES AUSTIN.
Interesting Notes on the Life of
the Father of Stephen Austin.

From the Fort Worth Gazette.
Your issue of the 27th ult. contains an
interesting address of A. w. Terrell on
Stephen Austin. AS he went from Misso uri
and his father, Moses Austin, performed
an interesting part in early mining in
Missouri, thought would supply few
notes. Moses Austin was native of
Dnnham, Conn, and was born in 1854. He
was early engaged in mercantile pursuits
in Philadelphia, where he married. Sub
sequently he moved to Richmond, Va,
thence to Wythe county, Virginia, where
he conducted lead mining quite extern
sively. settlement was there formed
which has subsequently, been called Aus
tinville. In 1897 he rode horseback to
St. Louis, then in Upper Louis
lana. That trip was hazardous and very
much dreaded on account of rowing
Indians, and the only settlement between
Louisville and St. Louis was at the post
of Vincennes. Schoolcraft, who had ac-
cess to his diary, informs Us that his life
was once saved during that journey by
the accidental missing fire of a piece
leveed at him. When he neared the city
of st. Louis. in order to attract the atten-
ton of the governor, he rode in state
through the principal streets with his
guide, servants and others. This, in
such an out-of-way place, could not fail
attracting the governor. The governor
invited him to his house, paid him atten-
ton and recommended him to the authori-
ties at st. Genevieve, and was there
furnished guide to the mines. A grant
of one league square of land was given
him, and in 1898 he took possession al
sunk the first regular shaft according to
European principles and erected a
reverberatory furnace for smelling lead.
He also manufactured sheet lead and shot.
The place selected was called Mine su
Breton. Austin built house and moved
his family there. Mr.. Austin gave
free grant of forty acres for public build
ings, and the town was called Potosi. st.
Genevieve was then the county seat, but
too far off, and Austin's idea was to
have it nearer. Potosi was afterwards
made county seat of the new county of

A Complimentary Letter.

DEAR DocToR PRENTIoE-Before you
leave San Antonio I should like to express
my appreciation of the benefit have re-
ceiyed from your treatment of my eyes,
not only as a personal matter to yourself,
but hoping it may help to convince any
one intending to or thinking of consult
ing you of your scientific methods and
your skill in the prescription of glasses
on the most exact mathematical formula.
Two years ago my eyes were examined and
fitted to glasses by one of the most emil
nent specialists in the east who has also
fine reputation as author of many soien-
tific treatises on optics, and the treatment
of the most complicated diseases OF the
eye. He diagnosed mine as having INCUR
able muscular and nerve defects, which
could only be relieved by properly ad-
justed glasses, which were ground for me
according to his prescription and which I
believe really saved me from blindness,
greatly correcting the sight and relieving
the nerves. Still, however, though even
when in the best of health, I suffered ~
tensely at times from neuralgia ann- .n@
fiammation of the eyes. On consulting
you and having my eyes examined by
the best chart of your own invention. and.
being fitted with glasses made expressly
for me by your prescription, my eyes are
wonderfully clear and stronger. Even on
wearing them very short time I could
not resume my old glasses, which, till now,
1 thought perfect, without pain and de-
cided decrease in visual range. These
glasses are as great an improvement over
the others as they were at first on my eyes
without them. Only those who have suf-
fered with their eyes can understand what
it is to be so relieved, and only those to
whom perfect eyesight is not only the
greatest of blessings, but an absolute ne
cessity, can fully appreciate it. With the
best wishes, am very truly yours,
JEAN S. H. TUCKER,

Piles.

OF the objections of home physicians and
friends, Mr.. Addoms took the trim of

DOCTOR Prentice. He has been cured, and
