WHAT VAR HAS DONE FOR MEX1Co.-Ne find the
following in the New York Icrad'5 correspondence
from Durango, Mexico
La Zarca was in 1922 a splendid cattle hacienda,
the first in Durango 1t has sixty square leagues,
but formerly comprised many ranches which nave been
taken from it. and which swecd its extent to three
hundred leagues cf land 1t the property OF Fer
nando Dinz de la CAmpa, who at the date above men
toned made bargain with very wealthy Mexican to
sell it. the purchas,r agreeing to give one dollar per
head for every animal which was at that time branded
those not branded with the hacienda mark were to be
thrown into the bargain gratis together with all the
land The branded cattle then counted, but the
number and consequent amount in dollars were so Tab
uIous that the purchaser unable to comply with
his barrain 1t is stated that it exceeded 81 900 600
Four years atcrward the Indian war broke out with
renewed fury, and from that time to this the Internal
feuds have carried on the work OF desolatlon Ihcy
have stripped the hacienda of all its wealth ear
after year the herds have decreased in numbers until
to-day there are but about coo cattle, horses and
mules upon the estate. The land is worthless; the
numerous buildings of the hacienda are in ruins; the
manor house is stripped Of its former Furniture and

THE "GRIrEIN" AGATS-The following voice
comes to US from the cold North:
VAR WITH a CoRPsE!-By order OF the Secretary
Of War, General Griffin has assumed the olhce OF
Assistant Commissioner Of the Freedmens bureau
relieving General Kiddoo General Oiln foF'tos I'e
contemplated honors being paid to the remains OF
General l. S. Johnston.
Isit not almost time that ceased fighting dead
men? Or have We host Of Griitns still remaining
who are anxious to gain busbng honors by squabbllng
over coffin, and shooting military order at band
of mourners?
One would tlnl1 that after the body OF General
Johnston had rested two years in New Orleans, the
odor of sanctity left by Buffers presence might eml-
nate from the rebcous dust all traces OF "dIsoyaity
and render it perfectly safe to be buried with or with
ont honCrS in Texas.
But Griffin commands at Galveston; Griffin is anx-
ious for fame and Griffin issues pronunciamento-
and We hope the country is safe. Griffin deserves a
sword of lath and crown of guano. II Griffin could
be ordered to Fort Laramie and let loose similar Or
der against the Sioux and Cheyennes, what crowd OF
redskins would be killed by the jawbone of an ass!

How SUGAR IS MADE WEITE.-The way In which
sugar is made perfectly white, it is said, was found
ont in a curious way hen that had gone through
mud puddle went with her muddy feet into sugar
house 1t was observed by some one that wherever
the tracks were, the sugar was whened This led to
some experiments. The result was that wet clay came
to be used in refining sugar 1t is used in this way
"The sugar is put into earthen Jars, shaped you
see the sugar loaves are The large ends upward
The smaller ends have hole in them. The jar is
filed with sugar, the clay put over the top and kept
wet. The moisture goes down through the sugar and
drops from hole in the small end of the jar. This
makes the sugar per perfectly white"

Henry Ward Beecher On Universal Suffrage.
A New York date of the 18th, says:

A New York date of the 13th says:
Rev. Henry Ward Baecher delivered 20 night at the
BROOKLYN Academy Of Music, address on universal
Snfrage.n He took the ground that all classes who
expected to reap any benefit from legislative action
should have a voice in making the laws. He claimed
that manhood has the light to suffrage, not perns-
sion: and it not just to exclude one section from
voting. Education tue watchWord tor safety

ignorant men to vote Suffrage itself was powerful
educator The most ignorant man in New York would
know in one year. by education, the difference between
a vote and club; the second year he would observe
the influence of party; the third, he would vote more
ntelligently the fourth, be would know the reqn'sl-
tons for candidate; and the fifth, he would vote as
we'll as any
The speaker advocated suffrage because
| through her influence high stand Of men in Qt1ce
would be secured. Woman's sphere was something
more than to rea}an at home and darn stockings anG
sew shirt buttons. He also sustained his views on
scrptural authority, saying the New Testament con-
ained nothing iutimatng the inequality of the sezea
! We don't want that woman should undertake to be
man. bat that she should bring into the nations aaira
the influence of her nature, that which she carried to
church aud to camp
Some objections had been made that a woman would
vote as did her husband and ncurase the effect or
that she would vote opposite and SO make discord y
the family; but he said it would be the same in politics
as in religion, If there difference they would
| go in harmony If woman had a recognised right to
influence her husband and sons to the manner III
which they should she also had right to vote
herself.
Human society needed the executive power of wo-
man. and he would put it upon their conscences to
use every possible effort to ameorate the condition
of the poor, the down-trodden aud the ignorant
He did not believe woman should fight because she
voted; all men who voted did not fight.
But if women could fight better than men, then let
them do it. On an average, her head was stronger
than mans. A writer states that the family Is the
unit It was in oldon times, but now the individual
is tue unit of the family. He did not wonder that
said she did not wat to- vote, because she hati
been educated take part in national affairs, but
the day was not far distant when reformation would

by those ho have it that picture more heart

officer who up to June believed in the mythical stores
of grain cannot be suspected Of exaggeFatng horrors

foresight and still more on the apathy Of his supe
riors after he was fairly aroused yet even he esti-
mates the deaths in Orssa alone at from 100000 to

tourths of the population have been carried off.
Orssa had five millions. Add the mortality Of Mid

DANGEROUS EYE IMPLEuENr.-4An old Aumbug
has been revived by certain ignorant unscrupuous
parties in this city, who are advertising the 'new

will diseases bearing these trighfu names: Im7
paired vision, prestoyopa, asthenopa, ephora, sore
eyes weakness of the rena, ophthaini protophobia,
ptotis, myodesoPia amouross, cataracts and myopih
Nine of these thirteen names carefully picked
out from the Greek, and the extraordinary merit OF
the cups appears in their ability too diseases of
exactly opposite character, presbyopia and myopia Or
in English, far sightedness and near sightedness.
So many thousands Of people are troubled with near
sghtedness, and so many have weakened their eyes
by hard usage Of them, that eye nostrum is pro
missing thing for its proprietor.
But what makes this 'eyecup" more reprehcnsible
than other worthless devices advertised in the papers
is the certainty that those who it will inure their
eyes as well as their purses. The affair consists of
hollow cup to he pressed upon the eye, vacuum
being produced in the cup by previously COMPRISING
small rubber ball attached to the cup.
The effect of this vaccuum-so long the instrll-
mcnt retains its ability to produce it's to draw the
blood into the eye, thus acting like we'll known cup
ping glass In some cases temporary increase OF
strength may be obtained by this stimulus, but the
more certain and lasting effect will be inflammation
