A Treasury Girls Testimony.

A young lady from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, in yesterdays Republican pathetically and poetically remonstrates against being stared at. Now, no one can blame a young man for liking tO look at a pretty girl and no one can blame us for being pretty and trying to look preitier than we are, but after we have dressed ourselves in way calculated to make that beauty as conspicuous and noticeable as possi- ble, l don't think we have any right to complain if men do look at us, and l guess we should complain if they didn't. 1 know that when, iu.t after ;he first of this month, I had got a new bunch of waving feathers for my hat. and l tripped past Willard's with the regulation two yards cardinal ribbon fluttering behind me and a fashionable. tilted hat, and just showed as pretty an ankle as they ever looked at, I should have felt mad If they hadn't looked.- National Republican.

SANTA FE, January 1O.-Great sOr- row is felt in this city tonight at tho death of General Gordon Granger. A few weeks since the General was pros. Ur;IJyy, ny stroke or paralysis, but ne had nearly recovered This afternoon, about 8 o'clock, he was again attacked by apoplexy and, without gaining con seriousness, died at 6 6o'cloek.
 CIncAGo January 15.-The Times Washington special today, says that rumors of war are again revived with ten-fold intensity, by pretty well in- formed persons, who say that at last response to the famous "American note," which was sent some weeks ago to foreign governments, has been re- cclved. The purport of the several responses is not known, but as most of the European governments have given in their adhesion to the Monroe doc urine, it is hardly probable that there will be any very serious objection tO whatever propositions Mr. Fish may have made, at President Grants dicta- ton. Co outside powers. IL is the Opin- ion of certain well informed classes, based upon observation and conclusions derived from the open continuance of the preparations on the part of the navy department, that war k mcditated if intervention in Cuban affairs, or re- cocnition of belligercnts is opposed by Spain. So soon as a cabinet council has been held, to consider the text of the note and replies received from foreign governments, a special message will be drawn up aS intImaied in the Presidents previous document, and Congress will bc invited 10 consider the propriety of at once intervening in the Ca1Ia difficulty

The Herald, of Silver City, \. NJ. came to hand, all right again, by las Tuesdays mail, of date January 1G About the stage robbery, mentioned il last weeks CITIZEN, the Herald reports as follows:
 The mail coach which left this plac, for the east, Tuesday evening, wu taken in by three road agents in Cook. canon, about three a. m. the following morning and robbed of all the trcasur, it contained.
 Two passengers, Messrs. Thomas r Conway, 1awyer,) and John $. Chisum ,cattle king,) also suffered by the de. pleuons of their pockets to the lasr nickle. Their watches were taken and everything else of value except pho. tograph of Don Thomas sweetheart.
 The robbers after completing the job ordered the coach and its inmates to the right about, in the direction whence they came, which tbcy did, while the highwaymen went east.
 The stage, after travelling mile and a halt, met the western bound coach, and the conductor, upon being inform cd of the robbery, announced having met the trio of robbers travelling leis- urely on the road.
 The loss to the stage company and passengers is large, and rumor has it, amounting to S3O,00O in greenbacks, bullion and drafts.
 As soon as the robbery was made known to Capt. Eyer, the commanding officer at Fort Bayard, he at once dis patched three n-commissiOned of lcers, six piiyates and an experienced trailer 10 follow and, if possible, ap- prehcnd the offenders.
 The stage company has offered three thousand dollars for the recovery of the bullion and apprehension of the robbers.
 The reason why the sheriff and other civil officers have not taken hold of the matter, is explained by the fact that there is no fund provided by law to repay them the necessary outlay for a chase after fugitives from justice.

Exhausting the Soil.

A curious proof of the exhaustinr qualities of some crops is given in the experience of MT John Beard, of Alameda, who farms with great good judgment, as his plethoric bank account shows. He had leased a part of his farm to some Portuguese, who had planted corn, beans and potatoes, and on taking back his land he ploughed it uniformly and sowed it all in wheat the result was that the part formerly planted in corn yielded but very little wheat, the stalks being short and burn ed by the sun; the part where the beans had grown did better, and the part formerly used for potatoes gave lux uriant wheat, and full crop. He don't to explain it, but notes down such facts for his own guidance, and when he alterEates his crops takes care that potatoes are planted on land form erly devoted to wheat, or the reverse, as the case may be.-Alta.
