THE BEST COTTON PRESS KNOWN.
Occupies less space, and economises power better than any
other Press ever invented.
Bullock's Patent Improved, Progressive Power Cotton Press.
THE undersigned having obtained the Right of this Press for the State, would submit it with
its many advantages to the consideratlonof the planters of Texas.
This Press is portable, weighing about 2,000 lbs., is, very simple in construction, and has the
strength and capacity to pack 600 lbs. balewith ease. ' It occupies a space of about 3 by 6 foot,
and can be placed under the Gin house, In the lint room or outside of the lint room as desired.
It is perfectly sate and will pack with six bands from 30 to 60 bales per day, depending ou the
expertnesd of 'lie hands in tying tho ropes. The power used is a lever on a movable fulcrum,
which makes the power progressive. As the resistance of the cotton lucreases in the box, the
power increases at the same time, and makes the last turn of the capstan easier than the first.
The lever is drawn up by a capstan and cable chain, (no rope used about it,) which runs It up
at five turns. One mulo does the whole work.
We ftilly guarantee this press to do all we say it will. If it does not, we will take It away and
refund the money. Price $250 cosh, delivered in Galveston. City references required from
parties unknown tous. The presses are all complete. Address

TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH
TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to
physicians and citizens generally of the United
States, because the article has attained «repu-
tation heretofore unknown. A few facta' upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
volumes of bare assertion or bl uonlng puffery.
iffsnaBattaww***
million bottles, and from its manifest steady
increase in times past, it is evident that during
the coming year the consumption will reach
near one million bottles. This immense amoup*
could never have been sold but for the rat
medicinal properties contained in the prepara,
tion, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country
where the article is best known, who not only
recommend the Bitters to their patients, but
are ready at all times to give testimonials to ilf
efficacy in nil eases of stomachic derangement*
and the diseases resulting therefrom.
This is nota temporary popularity, obtained
by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum-
peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid
estimation of an invaluable medicine, which' is
destined to bo as endurlng as time itself.
llostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved
a Godsend to regions where fever ana ague
and various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To be
able to state confidently that the "Bitters"
are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like
diseases, is to the proprietors • source of un-
alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter
from the stomnoh, purifies the blood, and
imparls renewed vitality to the nervous systemt
giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to acondition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.

preparation while suffering from stomaen de-
rangements and general debility; acting under
who have experienced the benefit of using this
_ m,- '/
the advice of physicians, they have abandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the
gentler sex. There are certain periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of then
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
aqd child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
forher infant. 8hould the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is a necessity for a stimulant to "ccupe-
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear up under her exhausting trial*
and responsibilities. Nursing mothere gene-
rally prefer the Bitters to all other lnvigora-
tors that receive the endorsement of physi-
cians, because it is agreeable to the taste aa
well as certain to give a permanent Increase
of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have partlcm-
lorly referred above, to wit! eufferers from
fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea,
dysentery, Indigestion, loss of appetite, and
all diseases or derangements of the stomach,
enperannuatcd invalids, persons of seden'
their own physical welfare by giving to Ho#-
tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.

general rule, it is most econom-
ical to buy the best Articles. The
price is, of course, always a little high-
er! but good articles spend best. It
is a sacrifice of money to buy poor
checse, lard, etc., to say nothing of
the injurious effect upon health.
Of West India sugar and molasses,
thu Santa Cruz and Porto Rico ai con-
sidered the best. The Havana is sel-
dom ever clean. White sugar from
Uracil is sometimes good.
Kefiued sugar usually contains most
of the saccharino substuuee; there is
probably more economy in using loaf,
crushed aud granulated sugars, than
we should first suppose.
Butter that is inado in September
and October is better for winter use.
Lnrd should be hnrd white, and that
which is taken from a hog not a year
old is best.
Rich cheese feels softer under the
pressure of tho finger. Tfiat which is
very strong is neither very good nor
healthy. To keep one that ia cut, tie
it np in a bag that will not admit flies,
and bang it in a cold dry place! If
mould appears 011 it wipe it off* with
a dry cloth.
Flour and meal of all kinds should
be kept in a cool dry piuco!
The best rice is large, and has a clear
fresh look. Old rico sometimes 1ms
black insects inside tho kernels.
To select nutmegs, prick them with
a pin. If they are good the oil will
instantly spread uround tho puncture.
Keep coffee by itsolf, as the odor
effects other articles. Keep tea in a
closo chcst or canister.
Oranges and letnons keep host wrap-
ped close in aofk paper, apd laid in a
drawer of linen.
The cracked cocoa is the best: but
that which is put in pound papers is
often very good.
Soft soap should bo kept in a dry
place in the cellar, and should not lie
used until three months old.

Sijadb Trees. —A writer in urging
his readers to set out shado trees, ar-
gues that the cntcri>r!ssc pays well.
He says:
These operations pay well, simply
as investments of money. Their di-
rect tendency is to make all property
moro valuable. By making the town
moro beautiful, and evincing a strong
and cordial public spirit, new residents
are attracted, and those of such wealth
and taste that they invariably make
additions not only to tho beauty of the
town but to its resources. They pay,
too, in a higher and butter sense than
this. They pay, in making pleasant
and dolightfui homes, and developing
a love of homej they pay, in tho "infu-
sion into the common heart of the
beautiful; they pay in tho building up
of a beneficicul local pride; the pay in
every way in which tlioy exert any
positive influence. There is'not s bud
thing about theta. It Is all good and
tends only to good. Now, <
a common interest in this
wo should all mote liberally
estedly. in it. We
and leaders; and wi
consciousness of po
it, lies the duty of
aud at once.
"As Assassin Host."—Near the
village of Olios in France, situated
upon the banks of the Loire, is u s
inn entirely isolated from tiny other
human habitation, 'nnd a good> quarter
of a mile from town. Tho proprietor
of tho inn, and of tho field which ex-
tends before it, after having made "use-
less attempts to prevent the laying of
tho railway near tho house, offered at
last to undertuko himself, at his owu
expenso, tho necessary work of dig-
ging up tlie earth and making the em-
bankments on tho ground. The reason
for his persistent efforts, although not
at fist understood, were however, soon
brought to light. No sooner was tho
spado put into tho earth than the work-
men discovered first one dead body,
then it second, a third, and Anally at
tho foot of every tree growing in the
field, a human body was discovered
This startling discovery, that reveuled
ull at once so many atrocious crimes,
raised the public voice - and provoked
an investigation; tho inn-keeper, upon
whom rosted old suspicions and old
stories of travelers having suddenly
disappeared, feigned great indignation,
and at once denounced his accusers.
But his daughter who had hung her-
self a few months beforo without any
apparent cause; tho strange rapidity
of his fortune; tho many efforts made

road through the fated field; the con
dition of tho bodies discovered, some
evidently quite recently buried, and
bearing upon them proofs of the crime
committed, all tlicso circumstances
combined to lead to the arrest of tho
inn-keeper and family. It appears fin-
more than thirty years the moro com-
mon sort of travelers, and especially
pedlars, wcro in the lmbit of stopping
at this inn, attracted by the cheapness
of price; and they had then, it would
seem, been assasinuted in tho night
and bespoiled of their stock and
money.
It is surely an atrocious discovery,
and one that has excited tho greatest
horror and fear throughout the neigh-
borhood.

Music —Thero is something vory
Vronderful in music. Words uro won-
derful enough, but music is even moro
wonderful. It speaks not to our
thoughts as words do; it speaks
straight to our hearts und spirits—to
tho vol'y coro and root of our souls.
Music soothes us, stirs us up: it puts
noblo feelings into us; it melts us to
tears, wo know not how; it is a lan-
guage by itself, just as perfect in its ottt
'without words, is wonderful und bles-
sed—one of God's best gifts to man.
But in singing you have both the won-
ders togethor—music and words.—
Singing speaks ut once to tho head and
to tho heart, to our understanding and
to our feelings: aud therefuro, perhaps,
tho most bc<iutU(l Avay in which the
reasonable sou">f' man can show
itself (except, of course, doing right,
always will bo, the most beautiful
thing) is singing.
