The S«lf Interpreting Family Bible an<t
Biblical Library Combined.
This is one of the handsomest and most
complete of Family Bibles we have yet
•eeu. Published by Dustin, Oilman k Co.
This Bible contains all that a family
needs in order to understand and profit by it.
Here are found within the covers of a sin-
gle book, betides the book of the Old and
New Testament, in excellent type, a his-
tory of the English translation of the Bi-
ble. Also, a condensed history of each
one of the book8 of the Old and New Tes-
tamen, a Bible Dictionary, every page of
which is fully illustrated.
Also, ft large number of tales and in-
dexes, making almost every part of the
Bible easy of access.
It is sometimes felt to be a great task,
both in time and expense, to have all the
text books that is needed in the study of
the Bible.
The difficulty is done away with in this
single volume, for here is nearly all that
is needed in such a compact form, that no
time would be lost in overhauling a libra-
ry of authorities. It is, sold only by sub-
scription. Mr. F. "Wood, is the agent for
this city. We append what some of our
city divmos have said of it: J
The Self Interpreting Family Bib.e,
offered for sale by Mr. Wood, I can cor-
dially recommend. It is superior to any
work of the kind I have seen. There is a
vast amount of information here con-
densed—Ttmlkm inparvo. The Authors re-
quired in a clergyman's library from which
to glean so much Biblical lore, would in-
volve an outlay of nearly one hundred-
dollare.

Query.
If a man registers by proxy,
can he vote by proxy ? Does the
law, or any provision in any sec-
tion of the charter, give the reg-
istrar or any of his deputies the
right to register by proxy ? Does
it give the registrar or deputy
the right to refuse a man on oath,
when he applies for registration ?
The above are questions I would
like to have answered.
Fair Play.
William D. Cleveland is doing
a large grocery business. He
handles cotton only on consign-
ment so that parties shipping
run no risk of underhand tra-
ding. His goods .are fresh and
prices very low.
Strickland & Clark, of Galves-
ton, supply most of the printers
and stationers in the State with
type and paper. Their stock of
stationery, blank books, and
everything in that line is large,
and within a fraction of being as
cheap as they could be bought in
New York.
The Gift Enterprise at Galves-
ton has proved a grand suc-
cess. Numerous citizens have
drawn prizes, which were
promptly cashed on presentation.
The drawings are fair, and, un-
like ■ the Kentucky Public Li-
brary humbug, there is no post-
ponement. By reading the ad-
vertisement it will be observed,
pesons living here can risk a
small amount and draw them-
selves rich.
Captam Toms still sells pure
whisky for that sterling house,
Lange & Bernecke, of St. Louis.
He has no fear of Western ama-
zons before his eyes.
Milby, Porter, & Co. are/ well
supplied with fresh groceries,
which they yet sell at th^ lowest
cash rates.
# • •
Jllig& Gohlman's stock of cot-
tage and parlor furniture is the
largest and best in Houston.
Their store on Main street is
crammed from base to dome.

CITY COUNCIL
The City Council met yester-
day evening at 2:30 in regular
session. It was a sleepy session.
There was no life in it. Aldermen
Rice, Christian and Gehring were
absent. These gentlemen prob-
ably considered that they were
dead, and did not wish to parade
their corpses before the public.
Alderman Turner seemed to bfe
under the charge of Mr. Street
Commissioner Heiinessy. Street
Commissioner Hennessy talked
with him a good deal, propound-
ing the law probably, and wiped
his brows while so talking. He
and Alderman Turner seemed to
be greatly impressed about some-
thing. Perhaps they were con-
sidering the great probability of
utter defeat to themselves in the
approaching election. Street
Commissioner Hennessy sweated
great beads ot sweat; Alderman
Turner looked as if he didn't
think it was worth while to sweat
—that the game was lost any-
how, and the thing might as well
be taken cooly. Street Commis-
sioner Hennessy came up and
had some pleasant words for the
Mercury Reporter, but the
Mercury Reporter does not now
remember what they were.
Alderman Wagley still seemed
full of lite. It is evident that
death itself, cannot kill him. The
alderman walked around and
laughed, apparently not at all
concerned with the pale corpses
around him. He probably has
gone through such scenes before,
and thinks he will again come
out a live man. Physicians say
it is a great point when a man
determines to live in spite of
disease. Alderman Wagley has
evidently made up his mind not
to be a corpse yet."
Mayor Wilson looked pale and
uncomfortable. He called the
Council to order.
All present except Aldermen
Rice, Christian and Gehriug.
Minutes of last meeting read.
Petition from Mrs. Marie Van
Alstyne was read. It stated
that her property on the corner
of Main and Congress had been
assessed without her knowledge
at $55,000, and the tax collector
had presented his bill accord-
ingly. She was willing to pay
tax on $45,000, and asked the
Council to require of the collec-
tor not to ask for tax on a larger
amount. She said she had sign-
ed the assessor's assessment of
property without reading his
bill.
Referred to Finance Commit-
tee.
Memorial from citizens of 1st
Ward, asking a plank walk from
neighborhood of Beauchamp
Springs to Washington street.
Referred to Street and Bridge
Committee.
Street and Bridge Committee
reported against granting peti-
tion of R. iS. Morris for $45 for
putting down brick sidewalk in
front of his premises.
Street and Bridge Committee
reported in favor of plank side-
walk on Chapman street.
Same committee reported that
they favored construction of a
bridge across Buffalo Bayou at
foot of San Jacinto street, but
had not yet got estimates of its
cost from City Engineer. They
would get his estimates and re-
port progress at next meeting.
Same committee, in regard to
petition of residents on Milam
street, report that work of im-
proving said street will be begun
as soon as practicable.
Same conrnittee report in fa-
vor of paying John Hamilton
$8,787 50 for lumber and putting
down sidewalks.
Mayor Wilson wanted to know
if Mr. Hamilton had done all his
work under the contract.
Alderman Wagley said he had
done it.
Reports of the Committee were
accepted.
An ordinance was offered by
Alderman Wagley to the effect
that claims against the city au-
dited by the Secretary, shall be
receivable by the city for taxes.
The ordinance passed under
suspension of the rules. So the
city will pay it§ debts with paper
promises to pay. Perhaps the
city will find it hard to contract
debts after this.
Alderman Heitman voted
against the thing. All the other
Aldermen voted for it.
Board of Health reported: 1st
Ward, no smallpox; 2d Ward,
4 new cases, 11 under treatment;
3d Ward, no cases; 4th Ward,
5 cases, mostly convalescent; 5th
Ward, no cases. In the pest-
houses, 9 cases. In the city, 29
cases under treatment.
Physicans report the disease
rapidly dying out. 5
The Board recommends that
everybody refusing to be vaccin-
ated be taken before Judge Dun-
can and be fined. Referred to
Smallpox Committee.
A document was read from
Recorder Duncan, stating that
Mr. G. W. Harding had offered
to fix up a good courtroom and
office for him for $275. The
matter was referred to Aldermen
Lord and Turner as committee.
Smallpox Committee reported
in favor of paying smallpox-
guards $100 per month. Referred
to Finance Committee.
City Engineer Gray said that
a bridge over Buffalo Bayou at
foot of San Jacinto street, would
have a span of 162 feet, and that
for a permanent bridge, the cost
would be $40 per foot; for a
draw bridge $90 per foot.
The Council adjourned.

ber of distribution on it. And the distri-
butions of Gifts are made in public, at No.

bers from 1 to 90 inclusive, printed on
separate pieces of paper, are encireledwith
tubes, and one by one placed in ' a wheel
acd the numbers well mixed, it is then
opened, and a boy blindfolded draws out
one number, which is exhibited to the
audience. This operation is repeated un-
til the whole twelve numbers are drawn
out, and these
TWELYE NUMBERS

tion. All other tickets not so decided, are
each entitled to a gift of Five Cents.
