DEAR MoTHER-l am not max.
ing SO much progress as I expected
in my studies, because there's a
great deal else to attend to here.
But we have lively times. / have
just returned from the funeral of
Billy Cook. He was shot last Tues
day night because he wouldn't al
low the Sophs to take off his panta-
looms and paint his legs red and
green, barber-pole fashion. This is
the last degree conferred on the
Freshmen by the Sophs. l wish
you would send me a six-shooter,
one hundred cartridges, and a
double barrellod shotgun. We amt
a going to stand any more such
nonsense from the Sophs. After
prayers this morning our class were
all busy making Sand-bags. We're
putting up a barricade on the east
end of our building, and intend to
mount it with a six-pound cannon
ade. The losses in our class have been
pretty heavy this week. John Hill
ton is very low with bullet in his
stomach, and Seward Livingston is
not expected to recover from the
stab in the side. Jack Rhineolonder
is lamed for life by a bullet in the
knee, and Sam Astor has lost the
sight of one eye from a brickbat.
There isn't a whole window left in
the college building. But you
wait, motherI You just walt a few
days and you'll hear something.
We're undermining the Sophs'
quarters, We're working day and
night The tunnel is now 100
yards long, 1t goes straight over
the campus and under old Prex's
building, We've established a COM
munloatiop with his cellar, and l
tell you a drop Of olaret or Bur
gundy is very nice to have after a
fellows handled a pick and shovel
half the night. We shall use dyn-
amite. Keep shady, mother There
won't be a Soph left by this time
next week. Your aEaptienqte son,
FlRGIL KELLY.

Cor. st. Louis Globe Democrat
A feature of society in Preside
is the fandango, or evening dancing
party, which is a Characteristic of
the population of all the rural dis
tricts of Mexico. A favorite way
Of holding these sOirees is for the
young of both sexes, and, indeed,
not a few Of the old folks, gayly at
tired, to collect at a house in the
suburbs, and there, beneath the soft
shadows of cedar groves and the
light Of the stars, dance in the open
air, with the green and mottIed
sward for ballroom floor. The
Mexican girls of Preside appear at
these parties looking quite hand
some, and dressed in red and white,
their robes terminating a little he
low the knee, beneath which their
well-rounded limbs swell in stock
ings Of a color opposite to the skirt
above. These toilets, as well as
their wearers, are very pretty by
torchlight under the cedars.

Massacre by New Mexico Indians

The Grant county, New Mexico, Herdld, of a late date, says: Nepune- cenO Acosta, who arrived in Silver City last Monday evening, brings news of terrible massacre at Puerto del Chocolate, in the state of Chihua- hua, Mexico, on the 26th ult. A train heavily loaded with beans, and en route for this place, had just entered the mouth of the canyon, when large body of Indians fired upon them from an arroya which the wagons were about to cross. The train men returned the fire, but the Indians were so numerous that the fight was soon over. Every soul connected with the train was killed, NIT. Acosta and q companion reached the scene of the massacre while some of the victims were still in their last agonies. They counted twenty-five bodies, including men, women and children. Puer o del Chocolate is a pass over spur of the Sierra Madre, nearly a hundred miles south of JanOs. Immediately after the discovery, MT. AcOsta and his companions hastened back to Galiana and gave the alarm. A hun dred men were soon mounted and started out to pursue the murlerers. They followed them into the moun- tains and came upon them near their rancheria. They found the Indians to be fully five hundred strong and prepared for fight. The Galuna men were compelled to retreat. In return ing, they met five Indians on the road, of whom but one escaped, A large company is being organized to pursue and punish tine red devils.

 The sorrows of the epidemic were never pictured in more distressing scenes than were witnessed last Sun day at Elmwood Six friends of the late Ed. Worsham had followed his remains to the ''city of the dead" for the purpose of paying the last sad tri- bute to their deariy beloved compan- ion. On arriving at the cemetery, hey found the Rev. Dr. White, of Cal vary church, who with his aged wife, and faithful colored servant, were the only mourners at the funeral of the minister's son, Eugene D. White, who had died the day previous. On learn ing that the remains of poor Ned" were,abou. tobe consigned to the grave Dr. White, who is also a Mason, ask ed the privilege of reading his burial service. The request was readily granted, and the reverend minister, in words most feelingly rendered, amid tears and sobs that almost choked their utterance, eulogiZed the charac- ter of the deceased. As the sod was fallinslupOn the coffin of t do ceased Dr. White was approached by a gen. tleman well known in this communi- ty, who asked him to read the servi- ces of his dead wife. He was the on- ly mourner, and was heartbroken Ov- CT his sad loss. The kind old man willingly consented, but first asked that he might consign to the grave his son. The mourners of Ed. WOrs- ham acted as pali-bearers to Eugene D. White, and with uncovered heads listened with aching hearts to the father as he read the service over his dead son. This painful scene had hardly ended when MT. Ed. Beasley approached and said he would take it as an especial favor if Dr. White would read the funeral service over the remains of the late Wm. Willis. whom a few friends had just brought t) his last resting place. Thus it was that the good old man, whose venera- ble appearance is in keeping with his age, performed the duties of his call ing within the Short space of half an hour to four departed souls that are now at rest.

The talk in Leadville, Colorado, is about a..yagabond of a miner, Bassick, who tramped into town without a cent in his pocket and jumped into an income of 5000 a day. He began t' dig in Tyndal Hill, and three feet below the surface struck a rotten, chalky substance that formed the en- tire eminenee. Everybody laughed at the began, and derisively called his find "Bassick's whitewash mine v But Bassick found the stuff rich in carbonate of lead carrying silver, and, digging down, found powders and pebbles that were coated with silver chloride. From the surface down 200 feet the mine has paid richer than a,v other in the county, yielding thus lar sG4. 900 a month.

Kew Ruling in Mining Claims

A Washington dispatch, dated Oc- tober 24th, states the commissioner of the general land office, in deciding the matter of the Hope Mining con- pany's application for patent for the POtosi lode, announces the new and Important ruling in regard to the width of all lode claims. Referring to section 2,310 of the revised statutes, which provides that no claims shall
 extend more than three hundred feet on each side of the vein at the sur face, says: "When the vein outcrops at the surface, there can be no ques- tion as to the point from which the lateral measurement must begin, but when the discovery shaft develops tliis vein at some distance below the surface, and the locator does not de- termine further, by prospecting, that the nearest actual surface point is elsewhere, and the fact does not other wise appear, l am of the opinion that the point of the vein so discovered must be assumed to be the middle of the vein, and the lateral measurement must be calculated therefrom. The law is mandatory and contemplates that but 300 feet shall be taken or either side of the vein, and compli
 ance with the law necessitates the fix ing of point from which these meas
 urements begin. think the rult above indicated is the only one prac
 ticable in this case, the width of tn, claim on one side being more tnar
 300 feet from the discovery openieg.
