During a social "confab" with
| Ed. Bremond, the genial proprie-
tor of the Old Capitol Hotel, we
[regretted to learn that his recent
though the interior, with"h
Variety show, was not pecuniarly
success. He tells us that the
[exhibitions gave satisfaction wher-
ever he went, but the weather was
not auspicious. ia fact, we are
ied to believe that Ed's balance
sheet exhibits some big figures on
the wrong side of the ledger, in
spite of his popularity as a show-
man. Nevertheless, he has the
ntf desperandum bump developed
in a remarkable degree, and pro-
poses to win if it takes him all of
next summer. We admire these
iellows who, like the spider, are
not readily disheartened by fail-
ures. An occasional slip down
the wall should only encourage
vigorous and continious efforts.
^Patience, perseverance, etc., will
eventually "butt" the most obstin-
ate "bulToff the bridge." Hence
we predict that Bremond's next
tenting season will prove a success,
richly compensating him for his
past short comings
Terrier dogs and cats* may be
catalogued as the natural antago-
nists of rats. Cats are eminently
domestic creatures and sel-
dom stalk about of nights
in search of the natural
enemy; but lie in ambush,
beneath the shadow ot a friendly
pantry door, or trip daintily over
the Brussels carpet to the place
where the sleek-coated eater of
cheese and bread-crumbs inno-
cently protrudes his proboscis
from the "hole in the wall." On
the contrary. Carlo, Tray, Blanche
and Sweetheart, esteem it their
particular mission to go'for the
enemy beyond the "outer walls,"
raking his ratship on the wing
as he dashes from one hiding place
to another. It would thus appear
that "a holy alliance" should natu-
rally exist between the canine and
species in their crusade
against the common enemy—rats.
Be this as it may, we are under
the impression that either a great
mistake was made yesterday by
Carlo, or a willful ease of fratricide
is to be chronicled. We refer to
the unwarrantable seizure and de-
struction of a pet kitten, with a
blue ribbon around its neck, by a
Scotch terrier, at the crossing of
Congress and Fannin streets. The
incident was witnessetLby a num-
ber of Postoffice corner loungers,
(your casual among them) and ex,-
eited a vast amount of sympathy
in manly bosoms. Some of the
lookers-on ventured the opinion
that Carlo was mad; but we do not
believe it. We think it was jeal-
ousy, by Jove! The fact of the
business is, j our rat terriers are
too well-fed now-a-days, and are
consequently twoplethoric to catch
rats. Hence, they envy the suc-
cess of poor, purring, meek-eyed,
but ever watchful "pussy."
When we first met Seroggs we
thought he was a model in his
way. We are now convinoed of
it. Seroggs yas understood to be
a descendant of (me of the first
families of Arkansas, where his
ancestors were water-bound—long
ago—so long ago that the memory
of the oldest inhabitants ruaceth
not back thereto. When Seroggs
came amidst us he wore an ex-
quisite moustache and a polished
stove pipe hat, This was not his
full uniform, however, although
we ate not, sufficiently conversant
with the remainder of his "regi-
mentals" to particularize. The ad-
vent of Seroggs was signalized by
a liberal display of tongue and
likewise of check, he gave oat
that he "merely came to t?xas to
see the country," and some per-
sons, impressed by his manner,
readily believed that if pleased he
would give his eheeqne for all of
our real estate. And so Seroggs
flourished for a while, "iris fing-
er" being good at the "Bank" and
"Jockey Club" saloons for a half
dozen drinks at all hours; for
there was something about him
that impressed the barkeepers
with a sense of his gentility. By
and by it began to leak ont that
was a fraud—that bis rs
tales, back jn Arkansas, were cou
fined tohalf dozen acres of low-
land, remarkable only for the
growth- of frogs and bulrushes.
This was the way that Seroggs7
star set, and when he removed his
lodgings from the Hntchins House
to a modest eight by ten apart-
sear the old graveyard, and
to indulge in free lunches,
lager beer is sold at ten
cents a glass, those recently num-
bered among his admirers began
to give him the cold should-
er. Perhaps Seroggs made the
greatest mistake of his life
m not doing his friends on a
more elaborate scale while tub
reputation was above par. * hs
—— M-
have bought a house and
or two on credit and sold"
for cash: driven some of
Westheiiner's fast trotters, and
married one or more of Houston's
fairest daughters. Then his fate
would have occasioned a sensation
in social as well as police circle
As it is, x&ffeivr people remember
Seroggs in his retirement, save
his washerwoman aha the little
darkey who polished his boots "on
tick."

Money is scarce. A1 paper readily com-
mands 2@2£ percent, per month. Forties
who are seeking investments, we think, will
hare no difficulty in realising that interest.
The banks are doing all they can to help in
carrying the growing crops, but more money
is wanted. Gold aaay be quoted at $1 15.
A decline, however, may, in our opinion, be
looked for at any moment Silver rules
about $1 07 in Wall street. As the in-
surance is about 2$ per cent on its transfer,
that amount added will make its value here.
SECURITIES.
School warrants? are at par. Other State
securities depend upon the condition of the
appropriations. Bank stock is scarce. "We
hear of none offering. The large dividends
made attract the attention of capitalists,
who are always on the aferir for openings of
this class.
BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Axe beginning to brighlep. Wo expect
trade soon to open. With the arrival of the'
new crop of cotton, merchants are more
Iwpcful.
COTTON. , .
The first cheering intelligence in connec-
tion with the cotton crop comes from the
Bio Grande. A bale has been prepared for
market, grown on the plantation of j.
Hynes, Esq.. of Santa Maria. Cameron
ajunty. • ■■■ <* <s^ • •
Capt. Christian and other gentlemen who
axe posted on the crop—some of whom have
traveled-over the State—report the yield as
excellent; and, when we bear in mind that
there is. an area of. upwards of 1,217,000
acres muter egUiratiop,# we only realize
half a bale to tbfe acre, $300,000,000 in com
would be netted. Of this sum, which is not
an extravagant estimate, we - may expect
Houston to largest enjoy the benefits de-
rived from its circulation.
We see by our exchanges that much dis-
satisfaction exists in New Orleans by the
false packing of cotton, as well as by the
amount taken from the bates by samplers;
so that, if proper inducements are only held
out there is no good reason why Houston
and Galveston may not, handle a large part,
if not the whole, of the coming Texas crop,
and thus keep the money in the State.

MeJicaliy used in Scroiuia. tk rolulous Abecesse

Erytipelas, Palt liheum. Scald llead and Cuta-
neous affections; in Neuralgia and Kheumattam,
and particularly efficient as an anti-bilioua remedy
to combat what is called '• Liver Complaint "
Dr. L Eogers states that in bis practice he was
cal<ed to see a patient who was attacked with pain
and swelling oi the hip, stimulating acnte rheuma-
tism, which finally culminated in a large abscess,
which required opening. Abscess after abscess
appeared, five in all; suppuration profnse, and
portions of dead bone extracted from day to day;
suffering intense. At this stage he commenced
the use of Elixir, and when fully under its in-
fluence, the patient made a rapid recovery. He
says: "I gave him no other medicine, only as wss
necessary to correct the disturbed condition of the
secretions; consequently, the .pombatment of the
disease must be attributed to the influence of the
Iodo-Bromide.'
•• I have since used this new agent in a larpe
number of cutaneous diseases, and am highly
gratified with its effect. I consider it a valuable
acquisition to our therapeutical agents, and could
uot think of being without it."
Ill It lie 11 miUiSlli and Plies.
Dr. X. T. Bates, in a communication to the Jour-
nal Materia Modica, says: "I have found V-UtI*
Iodo-Bromide Calcium, Compound, by far the
most satisfactory alterative I ever nsed. In the
treatment of Khecmatism and Piles, it has proved
itself a powerful and useful remedy and a val-
uable acquisition to the ' Materia Medica.' "
In Neuralgia aud Utorrhoea.
S. It. Nifesly, M. D., Pemberton, oiiio, says: "I
have recently used the Iodo-Bromide of Cdcium,
Compound, and have been highly gratified with its
action."
In Chronic Irritable Ulcer.
Dr S. H. Potter says; "It has proved itself in
every caso a very valuable and potent remedy. I
have been using it on a Chronic Irritable Ulcer on
my own person, arising from a severe contnaion
five years since. Singular as it seems, nothing
else promotes healthy granulations, nothing else
can be tolerated, and yet this acts like a charm.
"Both internally and externally, I have found
more efficacious than any other mediolne that an
experience of forty years devoted to practice en-
ables mo to seltct."
In a Case of iirrofalona Abscess.
Dr. F. M. Harvey. Ontario, Canaaa, writes: "The
Elixir of Ido-Bromide Calcium, Compound, is a
magnificent remedy • I am using It with marked
success in a cose of Scrofulous Abscess in ths
upper part of the-^fem nr. I think more of this
remedy than all the many alteratives I have
noticed iu medical journals for the last two years."
in Case of a Cancer.
H. H. Pierce, M. D., Rutland, Vt., writes; " I
am using the Iodo-Bromide of Calcium, Com-
pound, as a lotion, and the Elixir of the same in-
ternally. with the happiest resnlis. They havefSr
exceeded my expectations. My patient is greatly
Improved, and able to walk about his room."

dant rudely caught hold of her, and, with great
violence, thiow her ti the floor, laying, "Oo to
hell, God dam you; i hate you acd your brat,
and intend to leav6 tfce dam place." Defendant
thus crueilv abandoned plaintiff without making
any provision for her support, with the avowed
Intention to never return.

■ervice according to law upon defendant, and
upon the final htaring. for a decree of divorce dls-
aolving the bonds of matrimony existing between
