CHANGEABLE RIvER.-The Brownsville Flag,
of the 5lst Of Decsmber attaches great deal of i'm
poItauee to the questions raised in regard to the
true construction Of Rio Grande, a. the boundary
line between Mexico and the United States, and of
the rights of property and sovereignty affected BY
ths natural changes in the bed of the river
The subject was specially noticed in the annual
report Of the Secretary of the lntenor The bed of
the Rio Grande IL established the line of divis.
ion, but the bed of the Rio Grande frequently
changes its coerse, and TINS frequently detached
pieces of erritory thrown on to the side of the
river, opposite to that whore they were previously
stusted. When this change takes place, the inquiry
arises, whether the jurisdiction changes with the
transfer Of the territory, from one side of the river
to the other. The rights ofprivate property become
involved in the same doubts as lands owned Ams.
rcau grants, bounded by the river may be transfer
red into lands on the Mexican side and rice rsysa
and be included within boundaries covered by an
other title Ii IL said of this kind is threaten-
cd in the valley of Ell Psso, and that considerable
tract of country Il about to change its relative posi-
ton, to the river The Flag says that within its
own knowledge, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
acres of land have changed location from one bank
OF the river to the other From the ghtness of ths
soil, AMI tina absence Of any heavy growth of tim
ber and tho extrens croohedness Of the rvsr every
rise is likely U cut through the bends and tranfer
large bodies OF land from side of the stream to
the other. tadd,, that it il at all improbable
that at no disa day enc of these cut offs may
throw Brownsville into Mexico, or Matamoros into
the United States.

How THE DEVIL Losr.-The following is
too good to belost. 1t convcys moral to those
who feel disposed to spread it in the newspa-
per line:
A young man who ardcntly desired wealth,
was visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempt
ed him TO promise his sonl for eternity, If he
could be supplied on this earth with all the
money he could use The bargain was conclu-
ded-thc devil was to supply the money, and
was at last to have the soul, unless the young
man could spend more money than the devil
could furnish. Years passed away-thc man
married. was extravagnnt in his living, built
palaces, specialized widely-lost and gave away
fortunes, aud yet his Golfers were always full.-
| He turned politician and bribed his way to pow.
| er and fame, without reducing his 'tpilc" of
/ gold. He became 'stillibuster," and fitted out
1 ships and armies but his banker hOnored I'LL
his drafts He went to st. Paul to live, and
paid the usual rates Of interest for all the money
! Inc could borrow, but though the devil made
wry faces when he came to pay the bills, yet
they were all paid. One eXaedient after anoth-
er iailed-the devil counted the time, only two
years that lie must whit for the soul, and mock
ed the efforts of the despairing man. One
more trial was resolved nPon-the man started
a news paperl The devil growled at the bill al
the end Of the first quarter, was savage in six
months, melancholy in nine, and broke, dead
broke, " at the end of the year. So the news
paper went down, but the soul was saved
