Information received from the Rio
Grande is TO the effect that the troubles along
that river, growing ont of the cattle raids by
Mexicans, are as bad as ever The Mexican
raiders have a contract toAdeliver 1s 600 head
of cattle at Monterey, and expect TO steal
them from Texas. 1t has been ascertained
that one great difficulty under which the
Mexican government labors is that, in send
ing soldiers to the frontier TO prevent cattle
raids, they often desert and become cattle
thieves themselves, thus adding to the num-
ber of depredations instead of decreasing
them. The cattle thus stolen are shipped
after being run into Mexico. Cortina HIM
selfswas detected some time ago in shipping
cattle from Bagdad, small town on the
south bank of the Rio Grande, for Cuba
such cattle bearing the marks OF Texas
owners 1t is also known that these cattle
thieves are engaged to a great extent in
goods into Texas, and on their
return carry cattle with them.

Mr.. T. A. Edison, the electrician OF
the Atlantic and Pacific telegraph com
pany, while experimenting with a light
as a force, has made discovery which
may revOlutionize telegraphy. Mr. Edi-
son claims that his experiments have re-
suited in the discovery of a new force OF
a nature similar to electricity. and pos
sessing its efficiency without being sub
ject to many of the influences which
effect the latter. A remarkable feature
in the newly discovered force is that
the earth has no effect upon it as a con-
ductOr whatever. Wires operated by
this new agent can work perfectly lying
on the ground or in any position so long
as they are unbroken. Glass, however,
IS a conductor.

AN accidental discovery of great i'm
portance, if verified, is announced by a
French veterinarian, who, noting that
the "foot and mouth disease" seemed in
variably to spare cattle effected with
cow-pox, has vaccinated a number of
oxen as preventative measure, with the
result that mot one Of the twenty-five
beasts successfully inoculated has, up to
this date, shown any sign of foot and
mouth disease" although living among
animals largely effected with it,

"SHE can't sit down." said a female
custom-house inspector at New York
the other day, as she observed a
lady who had just come off a Hamburg
steamer standing on the wharf. The
new arrival was pretty, but she looked
very weary. They took her, protesting
against the outrage, into a dressing
room, and penetrated the mystery of her
makeup, they discovered that from her
waist down she was solid mass of
smuggled hair Luscious golden tresses
twined themselves around her dainty
limbs and surgcd to her waist, mingling
with raven locks and auburn ringIets.
The officer stripped her, and she then
was able to sit dowu. She was import

LEvERRIER, the great Paris astrono-
mer, who, some thirty odd years ago, by
the single rule of three and few vulgar
fractions, figured out the existence and
whereabouts Of Neptune before he had
ever seen. or anybody else had seen or
heard, or dreamed of that planet, pre-
diets that this is to be an unusually cold
winter, and that immense quantities of
snow will fall in December and January.
The northwestern Indian, though, says
the winter will be a mild one, and for the
sake Of his reputation as a weathcrwitch
and also in view of the high price of
coal and the insufficient thickness Of the
overcoat herewith exhibited, we hope the
Indian will prove the better prophet of
the two.

THE right honorable Stephen Cave,
English paymaster-general has gone to
Egypt to investigate the condition and
prospects of the khedive'S finances, which,
through the great expenditures on public
works and the army, have become rather
depressed. Egyptian securities fell,
with those of Turkey, not long ago, but
the embarrassment must he only tempo
rary, rs the enormous fertility of Egyp-
tian soil insures good crops and Khedivc
Ismail is, moreover, making live coun-
try of the ancient land. During the ten
years ending Sept. 10, 1878, the expen-
ditures of the Egyptian government ex-
Ceedod the revenue by about 500, ,000,-
coo. OF the disbursements $50. 900. 600
was paid as a tribute to the sultan
Turkey, S50,00l, 600 was absorbed in rail
road enterprises, and $50, ,000, 900 in the
Suez canal. I'm 1873 a new loan was ef-
fected of about $50, ,O00, 900, making the
total funded debt $3.50, ,O00,OO The
floating debt is estimated at 800, 600 600
more. The difference between Egypt
aud Turkey, however, is that Egypt has
good deal Of substantial Improvement
to show for her expenditures, while the
sultan has frittered his money away on
household expenses harems and fire
works. As England holds a large pro-
portion OF Egyptian bonds it can
readily be coniectured that it will one
day possess the land of the Pharaoh's.
and the English paymaster's visit is
probably something more than a proics-
sional call Of an accountant to straightcn
mp set of books which have been poorly
kept

ENGLISH detectives also find it is
easier and cheaper to bribe burglars to
deliver up their plunder than to compel
them to deliver up themselves. The
Albert institute was robbed of a silver
service valued at 600 guineas and other
articles of value. The police rushed
about in bewildering fury, but found
nobody to arrest and no silver. Present
ly good-natured fellow offered to bring
all the plumber back on receiving Goo.
A check was made out, and the plumber
WAS found secrcted in Il tunnel near the
town and brought back without injury
And now Dundee debates whether COM
pounding a felony is not the cheapest
way of dealing with it. 1t is certain
that the police does not pay as an invest
mont, though like an old fint-lock with
out stock or barrel it does create a wan
derful feeling of security.

BANCROFT, the historian, is getting up
petition to congress to erect monu-
ment at Yorktown, Va, commemorative
of the surrender of CORVALLIS during the
revolutionary war. Congress passed
resolution to build such a monument in
1888, but, like the congressional action
relative to the Washington monument, it
has never assumed shape.

THE Edgar Thompson steel works of
Pittsburg, Pa, have just rolled and de-
livered to the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
st. Louis railroad company, a large or
der of steel rails of sixty feet in length
each. These are the first rails of this
length ever rolled in this country, and
the first steel rails of sixty feet in length
ever rolled i'll any part of the world.
Iron rails Of about sixty feet were sue
cessfully rolled in England some time
ago, and mention was made of the fact in
the London Times as a remarkable event
in the manufacture of railroad iron. The
difficulty attending the production of
rails of more than thirty feet in length
is that of handling the mass of steel to
be rolled. An advantooe whic' he long
rails are said to posS, IS is thai of cheap
ness. They are sold at rs low a rate as the
shorter, and the saving of time consumed
in laying them is considered by railroad
men to make them desirable for use from
an economical point of view.

Remarkable Case of Catn3epsy In

ErdnsriAs Courier, Kareh3 81.
Our neighborlng town OF Nsvburg, which
represents Warzick County, on the Ohio, don't
often have an occurrence attractive to one
tussling with tho columns Of morning paper,
but occasionally the denizenB manage to get up
something on the remarkable order.
Some wesks since, Elizabeth Lippett, the wife
Of a farmer named Got.loib Lppert, WAS taken
very i'll With inf1ammatory rheumatism, and, the
disease containing her life Vas despaired Of.
She continued to grow weaKer and weaker, aud
few days since died, expired to ali appear-
ances. The grief Of the family was very great,
but at the death bed there were also number
OF neighbors. In the ho1r Of distress they
turned in to make themselves useful and pro-
ceeded to prepare the corpse for burial.
The body was placad IN = convenient position,
30 than they are usually after dying Of fevers.
The neighboss, about half an hour after Mrs-
Lippert's death, commenced to wash the body.
AS soon, however, ns wafer Was placed On the
face, tie corpse seemed 70 become inspired with
life, ~, after tho abntions had continued for
nearly fifteen minutes, she opened her eyes, much
to the astonishnent OF the attendants who Here
not little frightened, for they thought they
we're dealing With corpse instead Of ono still
on this side of the celestial world. The women
L1pport was able to speak, She said that Just
befors she 81 died everything about her became
dark, and soon she went to sleep. When she
woke it was bright, and; as she tells it, was in
strange place, feeling an ecstasy Of pleasure,
and was devoid Of ali the racking, pains with
which sho was afflicted during her iilness. She
gives no definite idea OF land into which she
had in spirit wandered, or the people she met,
but is certain she was in Heaven, aud IN her
simple way described the place as being an elys1-
nm OF bliss. While enjoying all this it became
dark sudds,lIy, and she woke as from pleasant
dream to find that she had been corpse for
nearly an hour. and that the neighbors were
washing her face.
Since then Mrs Lippert has entirely recoy-
cred, and is now able to be about attending to
her household duties, and in her leisure mo-
ments relates to the open uouthed Nawburgers
ths story OF her DEATH This a the tale related
BY gentleman who arrived from Newburg yes-
te1day. and vito resides near the lady Who waa
the subject OF the cata1epsy.
