Down the Andes by Hand Car.

At Anchi, 10000 feet above the Pacific,
the hand-car is loaded with its freight of
six adventurous sight-seers, closely bIaced
together. 1t is of the ordinary construction
and appearance, and does not offer any
temptations to pleasure excursion down
the precipitous and tortuous gorge of the
Rmac, except that it affords an unobstruc-
ted view of the shifting grandeur and ter
rors of the route. As we descend IN our
rough vehicle, at the rate of 60 miles an
hour; Tying across aerial viaducts, or dash.
ing through sepulchral tunnels threatened,
now, to be crushed between convergn g
mountain-walls, or precipitated from pen
dulous terraces,-the foaming Rimac emu
laling the maddening speed now glancing
back to take last look at the glistening
pinnacles of the receding Andes or strain
ing eagerly forward, to catch she first glimpse
OF the royal city of the plain and the shin
ing ocean,-the m agnifcence of the scenery
and the magnitude Of Mr.. Meigg's achieve,
ment break upon us with fresh force, and
not for any peril of the way would WI
forego the exhiaration and novelty of tht
trip. Far otherwise was it with one of the
party,-a stately commodore. He, whC
could face unainchingly whole broadsid,
of murderous missiles, sprang from the ca
after ten miles over the widest part of tn,
route, declaring that nothing would temp
him to repeat such fool-hardy experiment
For the rest of us, the excitement and ex
hilaration of this mode of travel became 81
attractive, that we often went up to Anch
Tor the sole purpose of making the dowr
trip.

Bleeding at the Nose.

A correspondent to the Scientific Amwioan
says; "The best remedy for bleeding at the
nose, as given by DR.. Gleason in one of his
lectures, is vigorous motion Of the jaws,
as if in the act of mastication. In the case
of child, wad of paper should be placed
in.its mouth and the child instructed to
chew it hard. 1t is the motion Of the jaws
that stops the flow of blood. This remedy
is so very simple that many will feel inclin-
ed to laugh at it, but it has never been
known to fail in a single instance, even in
very severe cases.

Dyspepsia Is the most perplexlng of all human all

disease often fancy themselves the prey In turn, of

close sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the BRAIN and in part also the fact that any
disturbance OF the.dlgestlve functions necessarily
disorders the liver the bowels and the nervous sys-

THE Grant County Herald and two or three

State Treasurer. We think there are men in
this district whose ability and popularity are
greater than Mr.. Books bnt as they are not
cautiidates, and we are unwilling TO have their
names mentioned in that connection, it is prob
able that Mr.. Book will secure the support of

deny that there are men in the dis

their whole duty-to the extent of

THE Mexican border question is
still a troublesome one to the Ad-
ministration. The President and
Cabinet have discussed the mater at
most Of their meetings, lately, and
come to the determination to pursue
so vigorous a policy that the work
once ended, will not need to be done
over again for years to come. The
Administration does not directly rec
ognize the present Diaz Government
of Mexico, but in negotiating through
Senior Mareshal, Lerdo's Minister in
Washington, it virtually recognizes
the Government existing before the
revolutionary reign of Diaz. 1t APP
pears that the Diaz Minister, Senior
Mata, though in Washington, is not
at all consulted in an official way.
Finally, the policy of the Govern
ment, as made known by Secretary
Evarts, is to rely upon the treaty of
1868, whereby the thieves, murder
ers and outlaws operating on United
States soil and taking refuge beyond
the borders of the Rio Grand must
be surrendered to the United States
authorities OF requisition. There is
a disposition to abide by the treaty
by all of the various factions in Mex
leo. The giving up of two raiders,
at present in Jail at Rio 6rande City,
is voluntarily offered by the Mexican
commander,G neralBenavides VIXEN

SENATOR HOVE AND TIE CHEF JUS,
--SASHIp.
We find the following in the Mac
isOn ,/OU70l.

s
The Albany Ereujug JoUrnol briefly coudenses
the facts contained In a recent article in this pa
per. showing that Hon. Timothy o Howe had
declined the hief Justiceship of the United states
Supreme Court, 1.-THE greatest Judicial station in
the land, and the highest prize which . lawyer
can sccurc-ruthcr than to allow those who elect
cd him to lose a seat ia the Senate, and see his
State mlSrctrcscutcd
The JomudJ does not state the
whole truth in the case. During the
period mentioned, when the Demo-
Gratis controlled the Legislature Of
Wisconsin, President Grant, at diff
ereut times, offered to Senator Howe
the appointment of Minister to + G.
land, Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court, Attorney General, and Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Bat the Senator refused any promo
ton which would place a Democrat
in his place in the Senate. We base
the above statement upon informa-
ton which we deem reliable, u in
formant having been in a position to
know. Few public lei enjoyed the
confidence of President Grant to such
a great degree as did Senator Howe,
and few men would have refused per-
sonal preferment for such a reason.
