Dear Sir—i t affords me great pleas-ure
to state that 1 have a Hallett, Da-vis
& Co. Piano, which I purchased 12
years ago, and which has always given
me entire satisfaction. It has never
got out of order, nor has it lost any of
its tone, but is now a sound instrument.
It has not required tuning for live (5)
years; and notwithstanding I have re-cently
had it hauled more than two
hundred (200) miles, a part ot which
was over rough roads on an ox wagon
—it did not get out of tune or in any
way dan,aged.
Yours truly,

FROM
New Orleans,
A graduate from the University ot
Copenhagen, Denmark ; Honorary M.
D. Irom the University of Padova,
Italy ; for several years assistant Phy-sician
to the celebrated Prof. Rieord,
Paris.
Having been for years a student at
the large hospitals of Paris, London,
Vienna and Copenhagen, and thorough,
large and varied practice during 15
years, has gained the most thorough
knowledge of the nature of all chronic
diseases and the treatment thereof, and
he has in his extensive practice had an
unparalleled success, and very often
effected a cure where every remedy had
been tried and all hope of restoration
of health had beep despaired of.
Nobody who ever suffered of the te-dious
and life imbitteriug disease—Dis-pepsia—
has ever in vain called on Dr.
Bille. In every case has he by his new
method ot treatment restored the func-tions
of the stomach, and with it the
health and vigor of the patient, and
vigor of the patient, and many a per-son
does to-day, with gratitude, recall
the moment he placed himself under
Dr. Bille’s care.
For his treatment of Ladies’ Diseases,
Dr. Bille is deservedly renowned, and
no lady suffering from "'Amenorrhoea,
Dysmenorrhoe.', Hysteria, Prolapsus
Uteri, or any other disease peculiar to
the female system, should not fail to
call on Dr. Bille, as they will quickly
be relieved of their suffering and ulti-inately
restored to perfect health.

Waco. June 5,1874. dly.
Dr. Bille has made a specialty, and this
[scourge of humanity, unsuccessfully
’treated by most practitioners, is easy
and quickly overcome by his new treat-ineut.
Being a pupil of the most re-nowned
Piiysician for syphilitic diseases
in the world, Prof. Rieord, in Paris, Dr.
Bille will always guarantee a cure in
any case of syphilitic disease which
may come under his treatment; and
hundreds in this city and vicinity can
testify that in cases of syphilitic nature,
where other physicians have failed. Dr.
Bille has always been successful.
Nervous Debility, Seminal Weakness
Impoteney, either caused by age or
abuse, quickly and permanently reliev-ed.
and full power restored.
No man is too old and no young man
too debilitated that tie can not be com-
Cletely reinvigorated and rejuvenated
y tile treatment of Dr, VV, Bille.
Dr. Bille wishes to call particular at-
| tention to his new discovery, by which
tie can, by the help of microscope and
chemistry, discover if there is any
syphilitic poison in the blood, which is
of tiie greatest importance, as persons
having had venereal diseases often be-lieve
themselves cured, and the poison
still remains in the blood to break out
sooner or later. Dr. Bille has resided
in New Orleans for years, is endorsed
by the best citizens there, and by his
skill, knowledge and successful cures
lias obtained a great reputation as a
specialist.
DR. BILLE
Will arrive at Waco on or about the
UHth of June, 1874.
And will be located at
M c C L E ELAND HOUS E,
Where he will be glad to see those need-ing
his services at once, as his stay will
only be short.

Bills of Lading from Waco to New
Orleans, for sale at the Advance
office. They are of the regular form in
use by R. K. Co
“T. N.” the traveling corres-pondent
of the Examiner and Pa-tron,
the organ of democracy and
grangers, is going back on Gal-veston
because the middlemen of
that place turn a deaf oar to
his syren song with advertis-ing
chorus. ‘‘T. N.” evi-dently
is a friend to St. Louis.
We warn Galveston in Time to
avert the impending wrath of
this itinerant granger Jonah. If
he should throw his influence
against the Island City, the fate of
Tyre, now desolate in the sea,
would speedily overtake her; she
would become as lonely as in the
time of Lafitte, the rendezvous
of the buccaneers, and as far as
commerce is concerned, “as idle
as a painted ship upon a painted
ocean.” We beseech the middle-men
to yield to the seductive in-fluence
of “T. N.” or “in forty
days Galveston shall be destroy-cd.”
“T. N.’s” letter speaking
of St. Louis says :
She will take advantage of the
narrow-minded restrictions of
the Board of Trade at Galveston,
which prevents the commission
merchant from independent ac-tions
on their part, actions by
which they could control the
Granger’s cotton crop of Texas—
as it is no Granger will ship cot-ton
to this market, under the old
rates—when St. Louis, alive to,
and knowing how to deal with the
order, is moving forward in the
matter. Since rny arrival in this
city 1 have been called upon by
several St. Louis business men,
who are here on this very mission
and-were it not that I am a Texan,
and would rather work for home,
I would leave here and Rtop try-ing
to convince the busiuess men,
the cotton fadtors and commis-sion
merchants in particular, that
the Grange is not a political clap-trap
secret humbugging swindle,
as they are persistent in terming
us, but instead a banded brother-hood
determined upon looking
more closely into the disposition
of their-, crops—that we seek to
join the capital invested in our
own State, to make it subservient
to our wishes—mutually benefi-cial.
Wbon I tell them that we on-ly
propose to attend to our own
business, they tell me to go then
and do it and leave theirs alone,
as though it were not a part of
ours to see to the expenses of its
sale, which comes out of our pock-ets.
Galveston does not’realize the
fact as does St. Louis, the fact
that we mean business, and as the
thing now points, she will not be-fore
it is too late to regain her
lost wealth.
My mission here is too grave
and important to admit of my be-coming
insulted by their abuse—
which 1 attribute to their ig-norance—
of us as an order
to be styled a set of dema-goguos,
having for an object
the breaking down of all in-vestments
which have and are
calculated to stiil father advance,
not only individual interests, but
that of the whole State at large,
and when I am told that no as-surance
on my part, that the con-trary
is the truth will be beliov-ed,
and that there is no use talk-ing;
I am but forced to the oonclu-sion
that at last I have found our
enemy, found, them at our very
door, blocking it against our eff-orts
to advance, not the interests
of our order alone, but those of
commerce as concerns Texas, the
interests of the land, the whole
people, and as such I propose to
meet them; after all efforts by
persuasion, reason and logic have
failed, T. N.
O ye ignorant middlemen of
Galveston who wili not advertise !
How often would “T. N.” have
gathered you under his wings as
a hen doth her brood, but ye
would not! Jonah hath warn-ed
j ou ! The organ will turn
and the prosperity of Galveston
will flee away to St. Louis and
the white sails of those who go
down to the sea in ships will come
to her no more; and Texans will
point to the sand bank and ex-claim—
here once stood the Island
city, the pride of our State, the
gem of the Mexican Gulf; but
alas, “T. N.”^ came, they would
not advertise, and perished like
Jonah’s gourd in a single night!
THE EXAMINER AND PAT-RON
ON ST. LOUIS AND
GALVESTON.
We publish in another place
with some light comments an ex-tract
from a letter from the trav-eling
agent of the Examiner and
Patron, who is off soliciting sub-senptions
and advertisements,
threatening to ruin Galveston and
transfer its trade to St. Louis,
simply, we presume, because the
merchants of the metropolis of
our State turn a deaf ear to the
advantage of a card in the organ.
Such threats are moro than idle ;
they are ridiculous. Galveston
will not only control Texas cot-ton,
but even now is with Kansas
City, a place right in the domin-ions
of St. Louis, arranging to
take the grain trade from out of
the latter’s hands.
The products of every land
make for the sea at the nearest
point, and for a man to talk of
Texas shipping her cotton to St.
Louis, whore it will be shipped
by rail to New York or down the
Mississippi to New Orleans, al-most,
if not quite, amounts to
folly’-; for St. Louis is not yet
enough of a manufacturing town
to consume near all the cotton
that Texas produces. We went
down to Galveston ourselves and
spent a hundred dollars or so in
fruitless efforts after advertise-ments,
and even paid our hotel
bill, but because we failed we did
not discern any reason for threat-ening
to destroy a lot of mer-chants
who are supposed to know
their Interests well enough to be
able to select their advertising
medium, Galveston is a city in
which every Texan is interested ;
for if it grows, we are certain of
boing always close to a gfcod mar-kot.
The farmers of Texas will
of course consult their own inter-ests
; but we do not see how they
are called on to ship to St. Louis
simply because Galveston mer-chants
will not heed the ad-vertising
agent of the Ex-aminor
and Patron. As to the
threats against Galveston, they
amount to nothing. Sensible
Grangers will always seek the
best markets. St. Louis cannot
successfully contend against Gal-veston
as a cotton mart, and if the
grangers will only place them-selves
on a cash basis in tfieir
dealings with middlemen, they
need not bo any war betwoen
them and Galveston or any other
middlemen. If Galveston, will
do her duty as the great eo,miner-cial
city and cotton mavkotof our
State, an,d we think that she will,
she need have no fears of the
wrath of the Grangers.
We regret to see the article
published, as it is well known
that “T. N.” is the traveling cor-respondent
of the Examiner and
Patron, who is soliciting for sub-scription
and advertisements, and
many persons will be ill natured
enough to think that had he met
with better luck in his “mission”
that Galveston would have stood
higher in his estimation. If Gal-veston
never loses the trade of
the grangers of Texas until it is
driven off by such idle threats,
she will hold it forever. Let her
business men be as they have
been—honest and true, and the
fact that this newspaper or that
may threaten them, will have no
effect upon the prosperity of the
city.

The July interests on the one
million indebtedness of the city
“thanks to the Radicals” and
which is payable on the first of
the month, or have suit brought
against us ly the bond holders in
the United" States Court, is un-derstood
to be between $40,000
and $50,000. This payment will
of course, have to be repeated on
the first of January next, the in-terest
being paid semi annually.
Thus are the citizens of Houston
beginning to reap the practical
fruits of the late Radical regime;
and thus have they just cause to
execrate the unprinciple Radical
wretches who foisted upon us
this fearlul debt, and for which
every foot of real property in our
city’ is liabio.—Age.

Charles Franefs Adams in a let-ter
to Senator Windom expresses
in the light of Ins experience as
an Erie Railroad Commissioner,
dissatif'saetjon with both the Me-
Crary bill to regulate the trans-portation

deal too far, and with Mr. Win-dom’s
suggestion of a simple mea-sure
for investigation,"that it don’t
go far enongh. Adams does not
believe it possible for any nine
men, no matter how honest and
experienced, to revise the railroad
tariffs in use in the United States;
and even if they could, that they
would be able to reach the present
difficulty.
The difficulty is the natural out-growth
of the whole system and
theory of railroad construction,
and it can not bo eradicated with-out
upsetting the system of pri-vate
ownership regulated by com-petition.
