sides of which are the lines of advance and
retreat of the raiding party.
When the cattle, &C., have been secured
swift couriers are sent out, who make a
detour, and crossing the river, notify their
friends OF the point where the predatory
band is likely to cross. The men on the
Mexican side of the river then post them
selves adyantageously to cover the retreat
of the successful robbers. The beeves are
purchased from the raiders at S. per head
by arge cattle dealers, and sold in the
ma cts at prices ranging as high as SIT
per head This is, therefore. a lucrative
business for both thieves and purchasers.
The organization Of these caeral.ers d an

gentleman who, Tor some time past, has

Mexicans who cross the Rio Grante, gives
the following description Of the n0dus

ranches on the Mexican side have formed
a species Of leauge, of which Cortina is the
head and front and moving spirit. On the
dav appointed for the raid, a series of signals,
well understood among the leaguers, col
lects the various detachments into one body.

Such JOKE Frederick Walker and
Pete Kohler, OF Gutenberg. N. j., wanted
to enjoy themselves one nigh recently. and
decided to engage in the extremely intel
lectual experiment of a practical joke. Ii
was to be remarkably funny one. They
got an old suit of clothes and made straw
man, which they placed against a lamp
post in fairly populated neighborhood
At about midnight they began an imagin
~ quarrel, which attracted the attention
of the neighbOrs. Ii was very funny.
Then they fired several shots from their re-
yolyers at their straw man, which tell down,
and they ran away. followed by some of tho
neighbors. who thought that murder had
been committed That was funnier still.
And they ran 80 fast that the pursuers. de-
sparing of catching them. began firing re-
volyers also. the result being that Mr.
Kohler was shot in the leg before the joke
could be explained. That wasn't quite 50
funny. Bat as Kohler wasn't shot IN the
head the jvke may pass as a fair one OF the
kind. though of very poor kind.

A New Force.

Mr. Edison, well-known in scientific cir
cles as the inventor of the system whereby
four kilograms can be sent simultaneously
on the same wire, has discovered neT
force, to which he gives the name of 81 ethe-
ric." Etheric force, in Mr. E1ison's opin-
ion, is to work revolution in telegraphy
and thus earn for itself the right to be
known as one Of the great public benefac-
tors of the future. The new discovery is
the result of a series OF experiments, out Of
which came the fact hitherto unknown-or,
if known, not appreciated in all its signi6-
sance. certainly not applied and utilized
that brilliant spark can be drawn by one
piece of metal from another piece in con-
tact with the core Of ans electro magnet.
The hasty observer, of course. would refer
the spark to electricity, but Mr.. Edison,
after a series of searching tests, announces
that the substance that issued from the bat
terry was nor electricity, bat force hther-
to unrecognized. 1t certainly possesses few
OF the characteristics Of electricity, a. the
world has come to understand them 1t
produces no impression on the galyanome-
ter the Leyden jar charged with it con-
tains No property that is contributed to it by
ordinary electric contact. auI the sensitive
gold leaf OF the eleetrOscope, when exposed
10 it, exhibits no sign Of detection 10 a
word, according to Mr.. Edison, all the mani
testatlOns are nOn-eiectric. Certainly. If a
new force has not been discovered, new
phase of electricity has been. That it Is
calculated to prove Of practical value will
readily appear from the statement that it
produces magnetism IN iron without the
necessity of Insulation. If this statement
proves to be correct there is no telling the
changes which are IN store for telegraphy
II the new force can indeed perform the
service for which We are now dependent
upon electricity, independent of insulars,
the old force is doomed 50 lar as the great
business of telegraphy is concerned.
