zines if she desired to do so. The lady was placed in the en- zine cab, but as there was no room for the husband, he was compelled to take q seat in one of the cars where he remained during the remainder of the journey in no very enviable state of mind. The result of the ochin music" that had passed between himself and wife made him unhappy, and he considered it very ominous; so much so, indeed, that all his dreams of connubial felicity were transformed and he felt in his heart of hearts that in all similar contests during life the superior ity of his wife's tongue would carry her to the front with flying colors. While the unhappy hus- band was meditating on the re- markable change matrimony makes in feminine humanity, the wife was seated in the cab, half blind with flying cinders, covered with ashes and soot, and altogeth- CT a more miserable specimen than the newly-married woman who had a few moments before been fortunate enough to tame her husband could not be found. The rattling and jolting of the engine, as it dashed along at the rate of forty miles an hour, shook up the lady so effectually, that be- fore the train reached Mount Clare, she became very sick, and the engineer was compelled to carry her into the tender. When the train dashed into Camden Station, the husband jumped off and ran to the locomotive, where he found his wilfnl wife seated recklessly on lump of coal in the tender. Her eyes were filled with small pieces of cinders, her clothes were begrimed with smoke and soot, and she was very sick. The meeting between the husband and wife is said to have been very affectionate, and a carriage hay ing been procured, she was lifted down and out of the tender. The train hands seemed to enjoy the la dy's unhappy condition very much, and evidently considered the whole thing huge joke. The lady was taken to the Eutaw House, and, judging from her con dition, she will not want to ride on an open engine for some time to come.

The Texas Frontier Undergo ing Pillage and Devasta- tiOn by Mexican Ban-
 ditti.
Where's Sheridan?


 The News special dated Corpus Christi, Texas, March 27th say A band of Mexicans came within seven miles of town, robbed sev- eral stores and houses, and took a large number of Americans pris- oners, among them Judge Gilpin, formerly a member of the legisla- ture, and two women. They compelled the captives to walk Tn front of them till they were ex hausted and then mounted them on bareback horses and hurried them off. They robbed and burned the postoffice at Nueces, and robbed and took prisoner one nail rider. Texans have gone in pursuit. A fight was reported near Banquette. One Mexican and two Americans were killed. All accept four of the prisoners escaped; nothing has been heard of them. Business is suspended, and the citizens are under arms guarding the town.
 Information received from Les Almas, Nueces county, say: Throughout the entire region be- tween here and the Rio Grande, lawless bands from Mexico are continually raiding through the county, robbing, murdering citi- zens and driving stock across the river. They have become so dar- ing of late that nearly all travel on the highways has ceased. Even stockmen are deterred from hunting their cattle and horses, through fear of falling into the hands of these ruffians. At pres ent there seems to be a concerted movement on the part of the viii lains to clean out all the white men within striking distance of the Rio Grande, distance of if ty to seyenty-fiye miles, and even farther, where ingress and egress can be safely effected. To this end they have been crossing the river in small bodies for the past week, and it is estimated that there are now on Texas soil at least three hundred armed ban dits. Rumor has it that several Americans, near the river, have been murdered by them.
 Rumor comes in that the Amer jeans have cleaned out a compa ny or two of negro soldiers at San Luis, on the Rio Grande, about forty miles below Rio Grande City. A number of armed men were seen lowering near that place.
 A number of Mexicans reside here, but We can't depend on them for assistance in a contest in which their countrymen are engaged. Nearly tue entire Rio Grande frontier of Texas-embracing belt of from fifty to one hundred miles in width-is inhabited mostly by Mexicans; many of whom though taking no active part in the forays of the thieves, yet sympathize with and give them secret aid and comfort.

FIRST ENGLISH PRINTED Books

FIRST ENGLISH PRINTED Books. According to most authorities the first book was printed in England, in the year 1474, by one William Caxton, who acquired the art ic Germany. Strange to say, tL4s was a book on "The Game of Chess" but Caxton af- terward brought out over sixty different books, being himself not only a printer, but an author and translator. In the churchwar- den's books of St. Margaret's par ish, his death is thus recorded:

 The first book printed in Amer ica was printed in Mexico, in l5- 36, but the oldest American book now extant is found in the libra " of the Cathedral of Toledo, and wos icsnod froYn fhic cama Mayi can press in 1540.
 The first book printed by the colonies of New England was the Bay Psalm Book, issued at Cam bridge, in 1640, and the first newspaper in America was the Boston News Letter, in l704. This paper was regularly pub lished for seventytwo years.

are condensed from the Northerner Of Feb. 90:
A good deal of stock has been lost IN the
northern part Of Neg Perez county and the
eastern portion of Washington Territory.
Judge Whitsqn has reached home. and tho
editor pro TEN. chucks up the sponge.
Mrs Sebastian and daughter have arrived at
Lewiston. Mrs Sebastian is here to procure
medical treatment. Some time since she ran

News came by last express f7:n Warrens
that party had came in from the East Fork
of the South Fork Of Salmon River and repor
ted finding good paying dgRings, The discov.
cry party we're on their way from Lemhi, and
finding likely country on the East Fork they
began prospecting and succeeded in developing
good paying diggings Last Summer a party
was out from Warrens in the Chamberlain Ba-
sin country. but found nothing but some sm.
pense quartz lodges. These lodges all pr"sp-ct.d
we'll. but being in the heart at the wilderness.
they are almost inaccessible. though at some day
not for in the future. they will BE- brought into
prominence. Many persons who worked I'M
the South Fork at the mouth Of III. East Fork
have noticed peculiar red sand. thu like nf
which was not found any further up thu main
stream. On looking over into the country
around the East Fork low range o! red hills
are 10 b- seen; these hills hav. never been
prusp-ct-d, nor in fact have any persons ever
visited them. 1t is supposed that this red sand
cones from these hills. and rs where the red
sand was found good pay was also found. tits
thought that by following up the stream tn the
parent red sand strata the parent guild placer
will also be- found. The parties who came
into Warrens did SO because their supply Of
provisions gave out. and they will probably 60
back as soon as they can. There is n vast scope
Of unprospected country between Warrens and
Loon Greek, and the few people who have been
through it pronounce the indications good for
rich mines and an almost unlimitcd field in
which tn operate. Should these reports prove
true. we expect BY Spring to see that part Of
the country full Of prospectors, and once more
the tide of mining excitement will set towards
the East Fork Of South Salmon River.

THE TELEGRAPH.

We learn from q private letter from
Boise City that Mr.. Platt Burr has gone
to San Francisco to sec what can Dc
done toward extending the Nevada and North
ern Telegraph line from Silver City to Quartz
burg, passing through all the immediate towns
and from Idaho City to Rocky Bar. The plan
now before the people is the raising of the sum
asked for from the Territory during the last
session If the Legislature-about $12.50O-by
subscription. A telegraph line is Of vital im-
portance to the three counties in which it
is to be built, and if the amount asked for can
be raised, it will be finished during the early
part of the coming summer-otherwise it will
not. We have quartz mines that are proven
to be- rich, aud few of these in the hands Of
capitalists would give employment to hundreds
of men, business would revive. aud Southern
Idaho would again be lively, a. in early day.
Looking ut the project in business point OF
view, we believe it will he to the financial ad.
vantage OF every business man to assist liberal
" in the construction Of this line. A greater
amount of property would BE- taxed, and of
course taxes would bs proportionately less:
business would increase; which would make it
both saving and a gain in favor of the bust.
ness Capitalists will not invest in mines
where there is no direct communication, and
we would have to depend entirely on private
enterprise, which ia very slow in developing
