A Governor's Testimony.
Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use In my

valuable addition to the medical science.
J. Gill Shorter Governor of Ala.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens of Ga.
says : Have derived some benefit from the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator and wish to give it a
further trial. '
"The only Thing that never falls to
Relieve." I have used many remedies for Dys-
pepsia Liver Affection and Debility but never
have found anything to benefit me to the extent
Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min-
nesota to Georgia for it and would send further for
such a medicine and would advise all who are sim-
ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only
thing that never fails to relieve.

Dr. T. W. Mason sayst From actual ex-
perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in
my practice I have been and am satisfied to use
and prescribe it as a purgative medicine.

Ed. Free Pbebb i It will doubtless as
tonish your readers to hoar that we have
lust hod another heavy snow storm ana
that yesterday the whole state was covered
with a heavy mantle of snow and frost 10-
day the sun is shining out rather feebly
however.
Your readers remember the awful Braid-
wood mine horror which ocoured a few
weeks atro and detailed in the Fbejc Pbibs
by your correspondent at the time. Yester
day the door-head of of the main shaft was
reached by the rescuing party and the bod-
of the 80 ill-fated men found. To-day the
bodies are being removed from their graves
in the Diamond Mine. Many of the bodies
it is feared can never reached as they are
imbeded in quicksand. Braidvood . Illi
nois is only 30 miles from St. Louis.
The city is considerably excited to-day in
consequence of a shameful scandal which
has suddenly devoloped at the "City Hall."
It seems that Health Commissioner Francis
is tho hero of the Bensation aud a certain
well-known young lady the heroine His
family are the sufferers however. Little
sympathy is felt for the "officious official"
whose overbearing and domineering conduct
as chief Health Officer of St Louis con-
trasted unfavorably with morally unltcalthy
and lowd character of his conduot..
Obey Owen the defaulting cashier of the
Third National Bank of this city left this
morning for the Choster 111b. penitentiary
where ho is to serve a term of 8 years.
Owen stood very high in commorcial and
church circles here and hiB enormous theft
running up to over three hundred thousand
dollars startled the community. Many
prominent men of tho city participated in
the fruits of his embezzlements which con-
tinued for a period of over three years be-
fore any wrong was even suspocted.
There are many curious and astounding
features and vices prevailing in the upper
circles of this great city which show the
many terrible temptations that beset one on
every side.
It has just been discovered by the police
that since tho law against faro banks has
been so rigidly enforced poker playing has
been all the rage. Two hundred regular
games are known to be estublizhed a' various
points the largest games being in hotels
and in prominent buildings at business cen-
ters. Lawyers judges and even clergy-
men together with our principal merchants
are regular attendants at the dens. One
judge is 6aidto have dropped $10000 of
late and a prominent lawyer $1500 in one
night
The finest hotel in St Louis has regular
"poker rooms" and your correspondent
bus often observed tho mysterious manipu-
lation of checks and chips from Lis office
window across the street and easily recog-
nized the prominent politicans around the
boari Cam. Smtthx.

Upon leaving the tillage of Cneeta wa
followed the river Pucrco through the Cana
da (mountain gorge); winding through
there we crossed the above stream several
times and passed several haciendas (small
villages). Here I must remark that in
Mexico one never finds an Isolated farm
unless the proprietor be a rich land owner;
he then owns tenant houses stables and a
tore ancl in most cases also builds a Catho
lic church . and parsonage. The cause of
this Is probably that in the early settlement
of Mexico they had to live in groups to de-
fend themselves against tho aboriginal race
of Indians; indeen the houses are built so
that they resemble more a small one story
fort there being but few windows to the.
front The house of the proprietor is buOt
... . . . . -
in a square. wiui a inruv wuiu.iu
the interior are stables arranged to protect
tho stock against any marauders.
The lands are always irrigated the fences
are noarly always of stone and sometimes
are miles long going often over high hills
and thore are no partition fences.
Traveling along these after two and a
half days journey we reached the little
town or San Miguel This town was built
in a square a Catholic church a poor sorry
building in a corner of it If there were
houses outside of this square I did not no
tice them our range of observation was not
large for we were too closely confined and
guarded.
We Texans had always an Idea that Mexi-
co was a rich country having rich mines;
we supposed the people were also rich or
at least the majority of them well to do.
But I never saw such poverty stricken peo-
ple. Truly they seemed to have plenty to
eat such as tortillas a small pancake like
corn bread baked on an iron plalo not
shortened nor seasoned . with salt frijoles
or brown Mexican beans boiled and cooked
in lard and seasoned with plenty red pepper
(we nicknamed them freeholders) and chile
con came that is a hash made of beef or
mutton seasoned with so much red pepper
that the sauce looked red toroales a kind of
dish made of boiled meat mixed with corn
meid a sort of little pudding put up in corn
chucks milk and goat cheese; this is the
general diet of the Mexicans throughout
their country. Molasses they make out of
wator molons. Toloncias a very dark
kind of brown sugar was put up in littlo
cones weighing perhaps a half pound en-
sconced in strips of same cane. I never
liked them although children and soma
Texans like them. .
The houses of tho Mexicans are built of
adobe that is . ft sun dried brick much
longer thicker and wider than our brick.
All tho housos ore built one story high
with the exception of thoso of the rich or
very high officials. . The windows in most
p.ll cases have n o saeh or glass in them but
those of the poor or middle classds are bar-
icoded with wood bars of the rich with
iron. A Meaican house seems more like a
prison house or an ancient dilapidated
castle. The roofs are flat covered with tiles
and cemented to keep them from breking.
The floor is of earth well cemented and
solid. There is no wood work about a
house but the window frames the doors
and joists to put on the tiles for the roof.
: In the common and medium class of Mex-
icans there is not a particlo of f arniture in
the house no table no chairs much less
other conveniences but they hardly fail to
have the ctobs with Christ mode rudely of
wood or some pictures of one or more
saints
How they cat without knife spoon or
fork I may hereafter describe and how
they set the table; well that is simplo
enough; they spread a clean dressed raw-
hide on the floor spread ont the dishes by
this I mean their earthen ware saucers each
person gets his own dishes of that sort then
all squat down cross-legged and eat
Their beds are similar also a cowhide
answers for bed stead; Mexican blankets are
mattress and cover.
Tbe women are most simply dressed I
mean the middle and lower class. They
have a low necked chemise neat and clean
but exposing a good portion of their bos-
oms and a skirt (I think it doubtful
whether tbey wear a petticoat) neat dainty
slippers (thoy have small feet) a rebom.
that is a long shawl which they fold round
their beads faces and breants (do hats or
LonneU are worn there) in such a dainty
manner that no thin? is seen but their
sparkling lwikhing black eyes the snwU
Uioulh and finely cLutled cose.
