VEGETINE.
An Excellent Medicine.
Sprinokijcld, o.. Feb. 28, 1878.
This is to certify that I have used Vege-
tine. manufactured by II. R. Stevens,
Boston, Mass., for rheumatism and gen-
eral prostration of the nervous system,
with good success. I recommend Veue-
tine as an excellent medicine for such com-
plaints.
Yours very trulv,
c. w. vaNDEGRIFT.

l'kmsv ixr. Kv., Feb. 16, 1877.
Mr H. R. Stevisiss.
Dear Sir,--Three years asfo I wa« suf-
fering terribly with intl.unrnatory rheuma-
tism Our minister's wife advised me to
take Vegetine.. After taking one bottle I
was entirely relieved. This year, feeling
a return of the disease, I again commenced
taking it. and «m being benefited great'y.
It also greatly improves my digestion.
Respectfully,
MKB. A BALLARD.

Mr. H If Stevens.
In 1872 your Vegetinr was recommended
to me, and, yielding to the persuasions of
a friend, I consent! d to try it. At the
time 1 was suffering from general debility
and nervous prostration, superinduced by
overwork and irr gular habits. Its won-
derful strengthening and curative proper-
ties seemed to aff 'ct my debilitated system
iiom the first dose; and under its per-
sistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining
more than usual health and good feeling.
Since then I have not hesitated to give
Vetrr/r'ne my most unqualified indorse-
ment as being a safe, sure nnd powerful
agent in promoting health and restoring
the wasted system to new life and energy.
Vegetine is the only medicine I use, and
:is long as I live 1 never expect to find a
better.
Yours truly, W. II. CLARK,

Porte Determines to
Peace with Russia.
Make
Dallas Herald Press Report.
London, Jun. 17.—The Post, in
an official l<>rm, confirms the report
that England sent a communication
to the Russian cabinet similar to that
sent by Austria to the Porte.
A special to the Standard from
Constantinople says many rumors
are current in regard to the attitude
of the great powers. It is said the
grand vizer iuts assured the German
ambassador that the porte is detei-
mined to make peace with Russia,
leaving any power which objected
to the condition to settle the matter
with Russ'a. The instructions of
Turkish plenipotentiaries are such
as to make the conclusion of an
armistice absolutely certain.
General Ignats expects to take
pait in the negotiations. It is prob-
able that tile negotiations may be
held at Tirnova Semli instead of
Kezautik, which would accelerate
matters.
The Standard's Vienna correspon-
dent learns from Berlin that Prince
Bismarck has waived his objections
to another European conference on
Eastern affairs.
a telegram received in Paris
states that the Turkish peace dele
gates have arrived in Adriannple.
The Turkish press is enjoined to
show greatest moderation, and any
will be suppressed for attacking the
czar.
There is no news from the seat of
war, which has a bad look for the
Turks.

Mb. H. R. Stevens.
Dear Sir. — About ten yea's ayo my
health failed through the depleting effects
of djspdpeiu; ut-ui'iy a later i was
attacked by typhoid fever in its worst
form. It sett! ;• t in mv back, and took the
foim of a large deep-seated abscess, which
was ^ilteen months in Katherin^, I hud
two surgical ope.ations by the best skiil
in the Stale, but received no permanent
cure. 1 suffered great pain f t times, and
was constantly weakened bv a profuse
discharge. 1 also lo>t small pieces o.
bone at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years,
till May, 1S74. when a friend recom-
mended me to fjo to your office, and talk
with you of the virtue of Vegetine. i did
so, and by your kindness passed through
vuur manufactory, noting the ingredients.
&u., bv which your remedy is produced.
by whaf 1 saw and heard I gained some
eo>'!i'!enee in Vet;etine.
I commenced taking it soon after, but
felt worse from its effects; still I perse-
vered, and soon felt it was benefiting me
in o her respects. Yet I did not see the
results I desired until f luiii tnken it faith-
fully for a little more than a ye.ir, when
the difficulty in the back was cured j and
for nine months I have enjoyed the best
oi health.
I have it> that time stained twenty-five
pounds ot flesh being heavier than ever
before in my life, and I was never more
able to peiform labor than now.
During the prist few wei'ks I had a
scrofulous swelling as lar^e as my list
gather on another pait of my body.
I took Vegetine faithf illy, and it re-
moved it level Aith the surface in a month.
I think I should have been cured of my
main trouble sooner if I had taken larger
doses, sfier having become accustomed to
its effect-.
Let your patients troubled with scrofula
or kid'ney diseaseR understand that it
takes time to cure chronic diseases; and.
if they will patiently take Vegetine, it
will, in niy judgment, cure them.
With gicat obligations I am
Yours very trulv.

The recurrence of Thanksgiving
Day recalls to the minds of many
old Texans wl at is called '"Bell's
Blunder," an amusing incident of
tiie early days of Texas. In the new
days of the "state of Texas," Col,
Bell, a gallant leader of rangers,
though a man of few literary ac-
quirements, was made governor of
tiie Slate. The custom in other
States of governors issuing thanks-
giving proclamations had not been
in vogue in Texas, but Governor
Be l determined that the Lone Star
State should not be behind her oldet
.sisteis in the Union in any respect
whenever he could help it, and one
ot the results ol this determination
was a thanksgiving proclamation,
the first, we believe, ever issued by a
governor of Texas. His excellency,
however, manifested his want of ed-
ucation til regard to the fitness of
tilings iu connection with matters of
this kind, by setting apart his thanks-
giving day right in the middle of
la nt. But tliis was not all. he
doubtless realized the sublimity and
religious character of ihe festival,
and thought it pioper to frame his
proclamation from that stand-point,
i he result was that tiie proclama-
tion opened with the following sub-
lime exordium:
In tiie beautiful and expressive
language of the Bible, "Now is the
winter of our discontent, made glo-
rious summer by the sun of York;
and ali the clouds that lowered upon
our house, are in tiie deep bosom of
the ocean buried."
No one accused the good govern-
or of irreverence or a sacrtligiinis
thought itt connection with his proc-
lamation, but what it suggested to
the riiituls of the people may be
judged from the fact that from til
parts of the country bibles came
pouring in upon lint, until he had
enough to establish a general bible
repository extensive enough for the
whole State.—San Antonio Ex-
press.
Parties to the Texats Land Swindle.
The following are the names of
all the parties, so far as known, who
were engaged in the Texas land
frauds, by issuing bogus deeds, etc.
The list was furnished by Special
Agent Amos p. Foster, of the United
States postal service, and may be
relied upon. It is pretty certain
that all titles for Texas lands that
eminated from any of these parties
ave fraudulent:

The agents of the New Haven
colony, whose headquarters are at i
Elmita, New York, after spending
several weeks in Texas, finally pur-
chased for said co'ony the Erskine
tract in Guadalupe county, which
contains 24,026 acres of well watered
and timbered land. The price paid
was $3 50 per acre, or upwards of
$So,ooo. It lies about forty-five
miles east of San Antonio, and con-
venient to the Houston and San An-
tonio railroad, Mr. a. b. Close,
the general agent, says that at least
500 families will be located upon the
tract before the first day of next
June, to be followed by others as
soon as they can sell off their home
interests and come. The majority
of the colonists are farmers, but
there are mechanics and artisans
sufficient to supply their wants. a
factory tor the manufacture of agri-
cultural implem nts will be immedi-
ately built, together with a tannery,
and saw mills brought out for the
put pose of getting out the timner
necessary to build all houses. The
colony pi oposes from the very start
to raise and to make ^everything it
needs for its own use.—Texas New
To^ker.
General J. B. Robertson, whose
knowledge of Texas and Mexican
complications will not be gainsaid,
expresses the opinion that "war with
Mexico is bound to come, sooner or
later."—Honey Grove Independent.

Gen. Robertson's knowledge of Tex-
as and Mexican complications, but
we do question his judgment.
