The American troops are ordered to cross
the Rio Grande in pursuit of raiders, to over
come all obstacles to their pursuit, and pre-
sumably, to capture or kill the raiders when
oyertaken. The Mexicans are organizing on
the other side OF the river under orders to re-.
siSt the pursuit of raiding parties by Ameri-
cans and to attack our troops when IN 1T on
Mexican territory. A phenomenal scarcity of
raids, or disObedience of orders on the one
side or the other, are the only hopes of thO'
who would see our friendly relations with Mex
leo preserved

Another step has been taken in the South
Carolina revenue cases. United States M,r-
shall Wallace yesterday demanded the bodies
OF the prisoners, charged with the murder of
Iadd, from the sheriff of Greenville county
upon writ OF hdbeds corpus. The sheriff
replied that he could not give them up, bat
would make no resistance if the attempt were
made to take them. The imprisoned revenue
officers were accordingly released from their
cells by the marshal, and We're Immediately
handed over again to the sheriff, to be held
until further order from the marshal or from
a judge of the United States court. Tle
prisoners remain exactly where they were
before, with only the consolation that they
have enjoyed an airing outside Of their cells
and that the government seems determined
that their cases shall be tried before lifted
States court.

The Tramp Question,

The last annual report of the Cincinnati de,
partment Of police contains some Interesting
facts ard suggestions about tramps. After
giving the number of trampS furni shed with
lOdgingS-6), s75-during the year in that city,
1t states THE war left u.s. as war always
leaves every country, great number of men
utterly demOralized: the hard times have cut
them loose from remunerative employment,
and they have become rOvers, nominally look
ing for work, but really looking for life with
out it. They have lost their self respect their
love of steady habits, all desire for ind ,pend-
ence, their sense of manhood and of shame,
and have imOibed the iucurable disease of
mendicancy. We mistake the nature of the
case if We suppose that better times and far
wages for all would cure these men and re-
1ieve the country of their presence and the
necessity for their support. Leprosy is not
more incurable than mendicancy When the
disease has once fastened itself upon
man. when through long months and years
he has willingly and gladly lived on the indus
try OF Others and rOamed abroad without a
home, he becomes hopeless case and nothing
but the strong arm OF the law can make him a
Self-surpOrting man. What are We to do with
these people? How is this disease to be
treated? These questions demand an answer,
for the evils to which they relate are increas-
Ing with alarming rapidity. Prosperous times
will not reform them. The tramp will be
tramp for life, shifting from country to city, as
his comforts may demand, and ready to be led
into every mischief that will give him food or
liquor. The tramp has but single step to
take to land in rufianism; already they in
timidate and rob and murder TO obtain the
means to support their useless lives. 1t is not
a tramp here or there, but it is an army of
tramps, ready for any deed OF rascality or
blood. The evil has come upon US noiseleSsly,
almost impSrccptably, and it is high time for
the press of the country to seize upon this
huge brood of hungry banditti, and by the
power Of its utterance stamp them from ex-
istence."

That Fatal Sixty.

A paragraph is running through
the newspapers, as the saying is, to
the effect that "The Emperor of Rus
STA, having completed his Goth year, is
bound to become mad, as his predeces-
sors on the throne have done so at that
age.' This declaration, not "founded
on facts" may be worthy of contradic-
ton, because, short time hence, per-
sons who read it, and belong to the
numerous class who think that whatever
appears in print must be true, will give
full credence to this. The present Gar,
who completed his Goth year on the
goth of last April, is the only Russian
sovereign, during over two centuries
and half, who attained the age said to
be SO fatal to his race. The Gar
Michael, the first Romanoff who ruled
in Russia, his reign beginning in 1913,
died at the age of 40; Alexis, his son
and successor, at 48; Feodor, at %;
Ivan, at So; Peter the Great, at So;
Catherine L., his widow, and sue
cessor, born of humble parents in Lii
vonia, at As; Peter H., at Is; Anne, at
Al; Ivan, at "a; Elizabeth, at 50; Peter
Ill, at "a; Catherine H., at 67; Paul,
at Al; Alexander L., at As; and Nicho-
las, before he was SO. Here, of sixteen
Russian sovereigns, from 1878 to 1878,
only one, the present Gar, may be
said to have reached the newspaper
fated age of 60. Catherine of Russia,
who lived seven years longer, was a
German, without one drop of Russian
blood in her veins. Seeing that, in over
250 years of a reigning family, to whom
the Goth year was to prove fatal, only
one reached that age, it is clear that the
popular belief was altogether wrong

Death from Excessive Joy.

On Sunday evening Mrs. Judith Dix
on, of Silsden, dropped down dead, it
is generally thought from excessive joy
at the return of her son, Thomas Dixon,
who has been nearly nine years in
America. On hearing of the death of
his father, Mr.. Abraham Dixon, on Au-
gust 1, 1877, the son had informed his
mother that when he had settled his
affairs he should return home. The
mother had for several years suffered
from palpitation of the heart. Mr..
Dixon arrived at Steeton Station by the
evening mail train, and was driven in
an omnibus to the foot of the hill where
his mother resided. On finding his
parent out, and telling who he was, a
neighbor, Mrs. Steel, went at once to
the Bethesda Chapel, where prayer
meeting was being held, and where Mrs.
Dixon was. She informed her that
Thomas had returned, whereupon the
mother Immediately left the chapel and
came nome.
She appeared agitated, sat down in II
short conversation ensued between
mother and son, in which she asked if
it "really was her son Thomas" and
was told in reply that he was her son.
Almost Immediately afterward she ex-
pired.-Leeds (Emgland) Mercury.

VOltaire'S House.

For the first time since 1878 the win
dows and rooms of the house in which
Voltaire lived were opened yesterday.
The house is situated on the corner of
the Quai Voltaire and the Rue de Beaune,
and was originally the property of the
celebrated lady, the Marquise de Villette,
who gave Voltaire the privilege of re-
siding there gratis. There the Deist
died, sad, cold, neglected and despised
philosopher" The Marquise issued
an order that the windows and the doors
of the room should remain closed for
100 years, and in her will she repeated
this desire. True to their duty, the ex-
ecutors and notaries carried out this
mandate. On opening the rooms yes
terday to the light of long obstructed
heaven the demon of destruction showed
his hand in dust-piles of dust! Typical
and moral event! Papers, pictures and
clothing that lay as they were left 100
years ago proved also that time was
destroyer of all things. If l had space
on this already enlarged subject of Vol
taire, L might picture in the Sun many
little scenes in and around this house.
One let me mention briefly. Up this
quay, not many hundred yards from
this very house, Thomas Jefferson rude
ly drafted the first declaration of Amer
lean independence. That original rough
draft is now in the possession of Mr..
Washburn, late minister to this city.
Not many yards off lived Ben amin
Franklin before he went over to London
and resided in Craven Street, Strand. l

lean, feel the warm blood Jingle in my

CURRENT TOPICS.

THE President has informed members
of the Cabinet, with regard to the mat
ter of contributions to campaign funds
and assessments for political purpos S,
that he desires letter addressed by
Secretary Schurz to one of his clerks
on that subject to be considered as en-
bodying his own opinions and the rule
governing the Administration in its diff
ferent branches. This letter informed
the clerk who addressed Secretary
Schurz that he was as free as any other
citizen to spend his spare money in any
legitimate way he pleased, and as his
political principles or public spirit
might suggest; and that his contribut-
ing or not contributing would not in
any way affect his official standing or
prospects in the department.

Two little girls, aged respectively 3
and years, the children of Elijah Smith,
living at Freelandville, Knox County, Ind,
We're burned to death on the 2lst. They
were playing in the barn with some matches,
and accidentally set fire to some loose hay.
| Their mother tried to rescue them from the
flames, and was badly burned in the attempt.
The children's bodies were burned TO a

Edward H. Costley was hanged at

Jacob Levels was hanged at Little
Rock, Ark, on the Dist, for the murder of

ored.
Jeremiah Connolly and George Sher-
ry were hanged at Chicago, on the Goth, for
the murder of Hugh McConvilIe in January
last.
Charles Burns was hanged at Paris,

The First National Bank of St j Joseph,
Mo-, was very mysteriously robbed on the
2lst OF several packages of money amount
ing in the aggregate to $40, 200. The Cashier
says that the money was in the safe at a.
M, when the days business begun, and
its loss was discovered at noon. As no
outsider had any means of securing access
to the safe, the disappearance of the money
can not be accounted for.
Near Lawrenceburg, Ind, on the 21st,
Ezra Guard, young and wealthy, but dis
sipated farmer, shot his divorced wife, kill
ing her instantly, and then attempted to
