The train had left about half an hour,
when, having attended to our own person
al matters. aud having strapped our over
coats and blankets to our saddles, We
mounted our mules, and bidding ''aoios"
to the group of lookers-on, we started on
our overland trip to the interior.
Leaving the village, We struck broad
level roa,i, which was cut in an undeviat-
ing straight line through the cactii, thorn
bushes and almost solid vegetation which
grows SO rank upon these plains. As far
as the eye could reach the road lay
stretched before US, without an undula-
ton upon its surface, or q turn in its
course; beginning in the plain where we
stood and continuing beyond the verge Of
the distant horizon, at which point the
sky, the plain aud the road appeared to
meet. Cactii here, cactii there, and csctii
everywhere. The pitahaya, rising in its
columnar form from twenty to thirty feet
in hight, with its outstretched arms
pointing upward to the sky, its pale-green
hue, tluted trunk, and crimson fruit cling
ing in loneliness and isolation to its thorn
covered branches, while on the ground at
its root we're scattered about the prickly
clusters Of its dried blossoms, which 50
closely resembled the burrs of the chest
nut tree. that I involuntsrily looked
around for the tree from which I thought
they had fallen. They are sometimes
used as combs by the Mexican maidens.
This is the most prominent of all the
cactii, and it forms leading feature in
every Mexican scene.
In the early part Of the afternoon we
overlook the pack mules, aud our train
presented quite an array of numbers.
We had five saddle mules for our party

FROM j. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C.-My wife had

cured and the grey hair restored to it's
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY

more complication between the govern
ment and the banks and banking systems
of the country than all other causes COM
bined. When congress passed the Inde-l
pendent treasury bill and it became the
law of the land it was the first time in the
history of the country when the govern
ment became its own fiscal
agent and free from banking
agencies. The subsequent war of rebel
lion materially changed the whole condi-
ton of financial operations. Out OF the al
legged necessities Of the times grew both
the greenback and the national banks. IF
not by strict construction, perhaps by rea-
sonabIe implication itmay be held constia
tutional and legitimate for the government
to accept and receive its own Indebtedness
in payment of customs and dues, leaving
it optional and not compulsory upon
tie people to use such indebted
ness as currency-if so that would
be in reality an optional greeeback, and, as
optional and not compulsory, it might be-
coma part of the circulating medium of
the country possessing equal validity and
equal convenience with gold and silver
certificates. But any connection with ma
tiOnal banks, or any use Of bank notes as a
part Of the money provided by government
has no warrant in the constitution, and is a
constant source of instability of values as
well as leading agency 10 periodic con-
fractions and expansions of the currency.
Whatever shall be used as medium Of
circulation other than silver and gold
should be worth its face 10 coin and
should be the direct issue of the govern
msnt That would be honest money, and
just what the country needs and the people
want. 1t would be the opposite, precisely, o.
all ''fat," irredeematle government issues
The democratic doctrine is that every evi
dence of Indebtedness issued by the gov
ernment, whether greenback. treasury
note, or whatever name it may bear, shall
be promise to pay its full amount ii
coin, and shall be kept at its face valu
everywhere and for all purposes.

Burglary.

The Washington Star thinks
if the laws against the crime OF
burglary were more severe and
better enforced there would be
less need of dogs and conse-
quently less danger OF hydro
phobia. as matter of protee-
ton to society, burglary ought
to be made capital offense,
punishable by death. It is safe
to say that no burglar ever yet
entered a house unless he was
both prepared and determined
to take human lite, if necessary
to accomplish his purpose or es-
cape capture. 1t burglars were
hanged in Texas instead OF be-
ing sent to the penitentiary, the
number OF convicts belonging to
that institution would be largely
decreased, while at the same time
the State would lose nothing in
the way of valuable citizens.
