How Q Conductor Col His Fare.

Conductor James Tinney, on leaving
Jersey City recently, found a passenger
on his train, a young woman with a
baby in her arms, who refused to pay
her fare. Not wishing to put her off
the train between two stations, being
too gallant a man for that, he allowed
her to ride to Paterson. At this point
the woman got off, and, in assisting
her to alight, Conductor Tinney got
possession of the baby. He tucked the
juvenile under his arm, and notified
the woman that when she paid her fare
she could have the baby and not before.
The baby began kicking and squalling
as Conductor Tinney started for the
depot. The woman pursued him,
pocket-book in hand, and finally paid
her fare, receiving in return the baby.
On opening her pocket-book it was seen
that she had plenty of money, and her
conduct, therefore, was inexcusable.
The question naturally arises: What
would Mr.. Tinney have done if the
mother had declined to pay, and walked
off leaving the baby in his possession?

Who. 0sman Pasha Is-None Other Than
the Famous Marshal BaZaine.

The Army and Navy Journal
publishes the following: 1t is conf
IDENTIFY asserted in England from
private information that Osman Pasha
is none other than that celebrated
fugitive from French prisons, Marshal
Francois Ochilre Bazaine. This in
telligence is by no means improbable.
Bazaine was always an active and stir
ring man, and the circumstances of
| his public trial in France were such as
to shut him out from n career in any
army of Christian Europe. Like most
French officers Of rank, he had served
in Algeria, and in so doing acquired
considerable knowledge of Arabic and
of the Arabs. Besides this, he served
in the Crimean wal in command of the
Foreign Legion, and afterwards as
French Governor of Sebastopol. During
that period he naturally made many
Turkish acquaintance, and therefore
there is nothing more natural than that
he should go to Turkey in the hour of
llcI Ittu. IL ID UO StCltU luuI DdLdlllt
was a strong Bonapartist, and that his
treason to France in the interests of
the late Emperor is indulgently looked
on by the Imperial Government. In
Turkey, where Bazaine's master was
the best friend of the Sultan, Bazaine
would be received with open arms by
those of his friends who knew his value
in any capacity of trained soldier.
That he should conceal his identity
with the utmost care is equally natural,
and had not wal come it is possible
he might have concealed it till his death,
but war with Russia, his antagonist of
of twenty years ago, could not fail to
bring Osman Pasha in contact with the
people who knew General Bazaine as
Governor of Sebastopol.
Whether the secret leaked out
through some Russian officer, prisoner
in his hands, or some English or French
attache who had served in the Crimea
and recognized Osman Pasha, is I'M
certain, bnt the character of his fight
ing at Plevna, n stubborn, defensive
battle, is c~uriously like the first day at
G~ravelotte, though the difference of
force on the enemies side led him to 4
happier issue.

seems to be healthy, but its skin is of q
Cardinal red color upon every portion
Of its body; that is, when the child is
quiet. But when it becomes distressed
or angry, a most wonderful and incom-
prehensible change takes place. From
this deep red color the skin, when the

so until a change occurs in the passions
Of the babe-that is, until its fit of cry

tightly drawn and the tickets will be large-,-

Republicans will elect the Governor and
carry the legislature. The Democrats are,
far more anxious to carry the Legislature
than to elect the Governor, and are trading
the latter for the former, because they de-
sire Pendleton. for United States Senator

Ell PASO, AND THE MEXICAN
F , va, QUESTION 4Tirs4t-.

! A despatch from New Mexico by way
Of San Francisco, which reaches us to-
day, not only confirms the story of a
Mexican rising in the Texan county of
El Paso sent us by the United States Off
Ger in command at Fort Davis, but in
forms us that the insurgents have been
reinforced from the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande, and adds that "the Mexi-
cans assert that Ell Paso county belongs
to Mexico" In commenting upon the
story yesterday we bade our readers ex-
pect to see such claims advanced by the
Mexicans. Theycan surprise no one ex-
cepting those who, undertaking to act as
guides of public opinion in this country,
are not ashamed to show an ignorance of
all the co lditions of the Mexican frontier
question as dense as that of the lowest
leperos in the capital of Mexico itself.-

TIE MEXICAN TRoUBLE.-A New
York merchant explains to the Herald
the Mexican troubles, as follows: C,,
Our firm own the salt lakes about
which there seems to be so much trouble
in FL Paso. While l remain in New
York cor duct4ng our business, Messrs.
B. G. Ludlow and George B. Zimpelman
reside in Austin, Texas. Judge Charles
81. Howard is son-in-lawof Zimpelman
and has charge OF the lakes. AS the dis
patch from San Antonio indicates, the
difficulty has arisen because the Mexl-
cans have recently been required to- pay
for the salt. Before the claims were To-
Gated by our representatives the salt was
obtained by them free of charge. When
a moderate demand was made Louis
Cardiz, the mail contractor, instigated
the Mexicans to resist payment, upon
which Judge Howard refused to further
supply them. Hence the uprising. The
demand for the salt in that section Is
about 1000 bushels per year, much of
which is sent to Chihuahua, Mexico, for
table and mining purposes. The cost
price in chihuahua is 81 per two and
half bushels. The charge has only been
forty cents per bushel,at the lakes. Upon
the receipt of the intelligence in Chihua-
hua that one firm had located the claims,
salt went up to So per two and half
bushels. The price charged the Mexi-
cans has been very reasonable.
