A Desperate Battle Between Pue.
bios and KfOWas. a
From the Las vasas Mail, 18th inst.l

From the Las Vagas Mail. 18th inst.
On last Monday, the Sd, party of
Pueblo Indians belonging to the San
Juan village passed through Mora, and
gave the following account Of fight
they had had with the Kiowas at La
Cuva de Corrumpar, .on the Cimarron
road:
The Pueblos had started out to the
buffalo country to hunt, and on the 26th
of May, when camped at the above place
and within one days march Of the buff
falo, they were attacked by some 300
Kiowas. The Pueblos numbered eigh-
teen men and were accompanied by three
Mexicans. They retreated into the cave
and fought the Kiowas all day. In the
evening the latter, finding it impossible
to dislodge them from their position,
retreated and left the Pueblos masters
of the field. Two OF the Kiowas
chiefs were killed and many others
killed and wounded. The Peublos
lost two killed and one wounded.
They remained in the cave two days,
thinking that their enemies had only
secreted themselves and were waiting
for them TO come cut. At last, being
entirely out of provisions they were
compelled TO make move and did so,
expecting to have another fight, but
they we're most agreeably surprised to
find that the Kiowas we're nowhere to
be seen. They lost all their animals
and came through to Mora on foot.

The Mexican women rejoice in low
foreheads and very thick heads of hair,
the blacker the better, and the coarser
it is the higher the appreciation, while
the Italians venerate red, golden, and
light hair The Spaniards fancy slight,
slender figures in the women; the Ital-
ians, on the contrary are fond of full
development, of limb and figure. The
0rientals and Westerns are also at com
plete antipodes as to the manner in
which they interpret beauty and what
relates to it. The Eastern women use
yellow cosmetics, while the French and
English dread that tinge in their com
plexion. The Asiatic, whether of China
or Siam, is delighted with the olive skin
and high cheek bones of the Mongolian
women.

How TO Get Rid of superb nous
..af .al lf Flesh.

From Halls journal Of Health,l
Not long ago gentleman of three
score, who had hardly ever been sick in
hio life, thought he was too Aeshy and
began to Bantamize. He succeeded fa-
mously, and boasted to his friends that
he had got rid of ten pounds in few
weeks. A little later he was attacked
with painful and dangerous malady,
from which he has been suffering more
than year. IL man can sleep soundly,
has good appetite, with no unpleasant
reminders after meals, the bodily habits
being regular every day. he had better
leave himself alone, whether he is as big
as a hogshead or as thin and dry as a
fence rail. Several cases of Bright's
disease have been reported by medical
men of reputation as direct result of
practicing Bantam's plan for getting
lean. The very best and safest way to
get rid of fat is to work it of. This may
be aided by eating food that contains a
largo amount of nitrogen and a small
amount of carbon. Nitrogen food is
that which gives strength, power to
work as lean meats; carbonaceous foods
are those which make fat, such as cheese,
potatoes, rice, corn, peas, beans, tapioca,
arrowroot, corn-starch, milk, sugar,
syrup, and all oily and fat food. Raw
fruit and berries largely eaten are great
aids to reducing weight. But, after all,
the great reliance should be on exercise
and work in the open air. Barclay, the
great English pedestrian, who performed
greater feats than Weston, lost ten
pounds in two or three days walking,
aud was never the worse for it,

An English lady was recently forced
to pay twenty dollars as damages for
having given good character" to a
servant whom she knew did not deserve
it. Suppose the same penalty was ex-
acted in this country for giving good
characters to public servants who don't
deserve them the Philadelphia delegates
would return home bankrupts, says the

A correspondent at Rome, Ohio,

the public road, about three miles from
our town, he was nearly Mortified at a
sight that Fymet his eyes. Along
0 skirt Of woods he found a girl, Miss
Martha Haskins, one of his neighbors,
hanging from the limb Of tree. The
unfortunate young girl having become
tired Of life procured small rope, left
her uncle's house, where she had resided
for some time, pretending TO be going TO
see some neighbors, proceeded some dis
tsnce from the house, and climbing upon
q fence secured one end of the rope to
the limb Of tree and the other end
around her neck, then jumping from the
fence, in a few brief moments was
launched from time 10 eternity. In front
Of her, suspended to a limb, was found
something tied in handkerchief; on ex-
animation, it proved to be a letter set

Il seems that she was engaged to be

eJeweIry-HOw Lit.
tie Falls Lady was haRdcuhed.

UucOttIOFthDAeJ JeW6hEy-hOWU " Lit.
tie Falls Lady was haRdcuhed.
From the Utica On. W Observer
An amusing incident occurred in Lit
tie Falls the other day, which created
considerable innocent fun at the ex-
pense of pleasant young lady.
Officer Becker, of Herkimer, con-
veyed man from Utica to Little Falls,
who was charged by a crazy man with
larceny. After arriving at his destina-
ton, the officer was sent back to Herki-
mer to summon the principal witness.
Before leaving Little Falls he deposited
his handouts in the telegraph office, at
the depot, for safe keeping, not caring
to carry them about in his pocket, and
left for Herkimer on the day express,
about noon. He had hardly arrived in
that village when he received telegram
saying Come back to the Falls quick! u
There was no train going east within
two hours, and reply to that effect was
telegraphed back. Another telegram
was received imploring him to go back
to Little Falls as quickly as possible.
Officer Becker waited anxiohsly for
the train, fearing that something dread
full had happened in connection with the
prisoner. When he arrived at Little
Falls he was dragged into the telegraph
Office as quickly as possible, and without
a word OF explanation being given, the
key of his handouts was demanded.
Officer Becker's laugh came in just
about this time, and his anxious mind
was relieved. He enjoyed the laugh
heartily, but young lady sitting in a
shady corner of the telegraph Office felt
like anything else but merriment. 1t
appears that with woman's natural Gu
riosity, the young lady had been exam
ining the steel bracelets, which were
never intended to encircle fair hands
like hers. BY accident, or design, one
of the young lady's friends closed the
handouts, and the young lady was sub
jected to the modification of wearing
the inelegant bracelets until Officer
Becker arrived. She smiled through her
tears as the officer entered the telegraph
office, and will never meddle with such
dangerous articles again.
