From tho Capital.

Secretary Evarts remarked in converse.
ton few days ago that he does not appre.
bend any collision between the forces of the
United States and Mexico on the Rio
Grande, and the present condition of things
IN that section should be viewed in the
light OF the peculiar circumstances under
which Diaz assembled to the Presidency of
the Mexican Republic. In consideration of
the fact that Diaz is now making every
effort TO firmly establish his authority, the
Secretary's opinion, derived from late adj.
vices, is that Diaz could not concentrate any
considerable force to oppose the n. s.
troops under General Ord, which Mr.. Evarts
think sufficient for any emergency which
may arise.

A Touching Letter.

Everybody knows the story of thc lit
tic girl who, wishing to ask something
OF Heaven, wrote letter to God, which
she put into the hands of the Virgin
statue in the parish church
A circumstance nearly analogous has just
taken place near Marchiennes, in Bel
GUM. A girl named Blanche was in the
service Of Monsieur and Madame c., who
were much attached to her on account OF
her fidelity and piety. Some days ago
Madame c. fell ill and died very sudden
~.
The day after her death, Blanche prof
ting when the corpse, already prepared
tor the grave, was alone, made her way
into the chamber of death, lifted the
shroud and then retired precipitately.
Those who saw her suspected she might
have been trying to pilfer the jewclry of
the corpse. Search was made and moth.
ing was found missing, but there was
letter in the dead woman's hand. This
being opened, was discovered to be let
ter from Blanche to her mother, dead a
long time before. 1t was as follows:
my DEAR AND Coop MOTHER: This
IS to let you know that NJ. r. has asked
me to marry him; as you are no longer
here, beg you will let me know in a
dream, if l ought to marry him, and to
give me your consent. In order to com.

Where to Sell Good Butter.

In talking with person who had been
grocer, we heard the following remark
in answer to the question. "Why do you
not make more difference in the price of
butter taken in from the farmers?" We
cannot do it. twill not work. Nothing
will offend woman quicker than to tell
her that her butter is not first-class. If
we tell her the butter is poor, she will sell
it somewhere else, and she will trade
where she sells her produce. To keep
her trade, l must buy her butter. So it
is often customary to pay about the same
price for all grades Of butter offered in
small lots. We make on the best lots
and lose on the poorest. We come
out about even, satisfy all parties, and
get the custom of those who sell butter
which is good or poor" The better way
Tor those who make the best butter
is to find some regular customers and sup
ply them from week to week, throughout
the year. In this way, the producer gets
better prices and avoids the close shave
of middle-mcn.

Another wins the gladness of the light;
A sweet, soft, clingng, fond farewell is given;
Still farewell, and then alone with

"She shook her fist under my nose and

ment Of the most intense excitement.
When the dogs didn't take any notice of
the red man he got mad and swore at
them, and told them to get out.
One day book agent came along, and
told the Indians that the dogs were made
of stone, and couldn't bite the fees that
infested them. After that the cussed
redskins used to come out of the woods
in droves, sneak up to the porch and
play wretched tunes on the door-bell.
When the servant would 20 to the door

An Indians Revenge.

An Indian prides himself upon taking
good or i'll in the quietest of ways, and
from tale told in Mr. Marshall's Cana
dian Dominion, his civilized half brother
would seem to be equally Unconditional.
Thanks mainly to a certain Metis or half
breed in the service OF the Hudson Bay
Company, Sioux warrior was found
guilty of stealing horse, and condemn
ed to pay the animals value by install
ments at one OF the company's forts. On
paying the last instalmcnt he received
his quittance from the man who had
brought him to justice, and left the office.

Nets raised the hand with which he was
writing and touched lightly the muzzle
OF tho gun; the shot passed over his
head, but his hair was singed off in
broad mass. The smoke clearing away,
the Indian was amazed to see that his
enemy still lived.
The other looked him full in the ewes
Tor an instant, and quietly resumed his
writing. The Indian silently departed
nnpursued, those who would have given
him chase being stopped by the half
breed with, "Go back to your dinner, and
leave the affair to me.''
When evening came, a few whites,
curious to see how the matter would end.

campment. At certain distance he made
them wait, and advanced alone to the
Indian tents. Before one of these sat

Ordering a Wife.

The following occurred on the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Sante Fe Road: A gentle
man travelling between Pueblo and Kan
sas City was engaged in conversation by
a very intelligent but rough looking
minor, who had been for fours years an
auriterous advcnturer in San Juan coun-
try and who had "struck it rich". He
made no secret of the fact that his visit to
a certain town in Michigan was for tn
purpose of marrying "the girl he left be-
hind him." for whose future comfort he
had built and furnished house high up
among the snow-capped mountains Of
Colorado. But this does not interest the
reader as will the remainder of his story.
He left in San Juan a partner, whom he
describes as Gas square man as ever
struck drill" with WHOM he had con-
stantly labored three long years as mere
'prospectors," and with whom he now
jointly held one Of the most valuable
properties in their district.

a letter from: New Preston, Conn, to the
!'tchf1eld Enquirer, contains this anec-
dote: A man who had been sorting
tobacco for one of his neighbors, stopped
at one of the stores on his way from work
and purchased q pair of shoes. He
threaded his dinner-pail upon his arm,
took the shoes in the same hand, and with
the other thrust deep in his breeches'
pocket, started for home: Having got
opposite DR.. Eds, he missed his dinner
pail, and, thinking he had left it at the
store, back he went for it. As he went
through the door it swung to, and hit the
pail strung on his arm. His only eiac
uIation was, "Thunder!" I thought I'D
left'it" He's the same man who took
his watch to New Milford to be repaired,
and two days afterward found it in his
vcst-pocket.
