DISORDERS ON THE FRoNTiER.-The Sc
cretary of State, in his report on the subject
of the recent disorders on the Rio Grande from
tier, says, that although there is great want Of
official information, yet there can be no doubt
of the lrequence occurrence of disorders and
outrages committed on the borders between the
United States and Mexico, which unhappily
are not confined TO the inhabitants Of either
side; that violent seizures of persons to be
transported across the line have taken place,
and are likely to be repeated, and that there
seems an absolute necessity for the adoption
of some measures for the preservation and
peace of the neig hborhood. The Secretary
recommends that the Government should be
authorized to employ the military force of the
country stationed in that quarter. He init
mates that further legal enactments are neces-
sary to restrain our citizens from hostile in
cursions into the territory of Mexico, and re-
commends the revival of the act of the 10th Of
March, 1888, or such parts thereof as exigen-
cies may require, sc.

became uneasy and had her hunted. The near
neighbors assisted in the search, mounted on
horses with torches, and the corpse was found
about two or three o'clock next morning, ia a
path leading from the school. house towards
home, her eyes and mouth closed, living on her
face, all her clothes in proper mau1er, her
bonnet on, and no sign of blood. Upon exami-

ARArTLEsSAKE. New York Com
mercial Advertiser tells the following thrilling
tale:
Last fall woman residing in the vicinity Of
Worcester, was picking blackberries in field
near her house, having with her, her only child
bright.eyed little fellow Of less than year
old. The babe sat upon the ground amusing
itself with grasping at clumps of yellow weed
that grew within reach, and eating berries
brought him from time to time by his mother.
The latter, al length, intent upoE gathering
the fine fruit, passed around a rock which hid
her child from view. She was about to return
TO him. when hearing him laughing and crow
ing in great glee, and thinking he must be safe
os long as he was SO happy, she remained a
little longer where she was.
Suddenly, the little voice ceased, and after
another minutes delay, the young mother step.
ped upon the rock and looked over, expecting
to see her babe asleep; and instead of which,
he was sitting perfectly motionless, his lips
parted, and his wide open eyes fixed with
a singular expression upon some object which
at first she was unable to discern.
Yet who can judge of her horror when on
closer scrutiny she perceived, some four or five
feet from the infant, ratlesnake, with his git

In her hand she held broad tin pan, and
springing from the rock, quick as thought she
covered the snake with it and stood upon it to
prevent its escape.
The charm was troken--the child moved,
swayed, to one side, and began to sob. At the
same time the mother recovered her voice and
screamed for aid, retaining her position until
it arrived, when the cause of her terrible fright
was despatched.

NINE CHEERS.

The Wing and Democratic parties have an
odd way of consoling their disappointed Pre-
sidential candidates. When they have deter
mined to give them no bread, they do not even
offer them a stone in place of il. Nine
Cheers" are all that the aspirant, who has
been rolling for the best part of life time. for
the envied post, can get. There must be some
thing in this method Of rewarding favorite
leader, more than appears on the surface
Burke tells us about empty praise and solid
pudding. Perhaps aspirants to the PresIden-
tial Office are different from other men. They
NAV, foraught we know, think the one as full
" az good as the other; butt seems to us that
we should greatly prefer the pudding. Praise
is very good, no doubt, in its way; but It can
not furnish meal. To give man 81 nine
cheers after having told him that you cannot
give him fat office, is to act very much like
the young lady who dismisses her gallant, with
the assurance that she has very great esteem
for him. "D-n your esteem," thinks the
young gentleman, in his heart, and we very
much suspect that the nine cheers" do not
meet with an anathema less decided.
