Some two months ago, at Black

shot Postmaster Nix. because he wan
ted to make a vacancy in the Office.
The local authorities took no notice
Of the crime. On Monday night an
other white rufian shot William
Aiken Nix, q brother oftbe Postmas-
ter, and MORALLY wounded him. The
chivalry of South Carolina are deter.
mined to kill off the Nix family. - Phil

Well, that is easily accounted for;
the chivalry wanted mix any in theirs
and the South Carolina method OF

With a very near approach to truth. the
human family inhabitiDg the earth has
been estimated at 700 900, 600; the a1nu-

weight Of the animal matter of this i'm

than $4,000 tons, and by its decompo-
sition produces 9,000, 100000 cubic feet
of gaseous matter. The vegetable pro-
5uctinns of the earth clear away from the
atmosphere the gases thus generated, de-
accompanying and assimilating them for
their own increase. This cycle of chan.
ages Las been going on ever since man be-
cemc an occupier of the earth. He feeds

and not even there unless sufficiently

1t is not at all difficult to provo that the

The other sIdo of tho que,s,on


Your correspondent, "a. S." need feel
no apprehensions that he has misrepre.
sented in saying he has riden at the rate
of a mile a minute on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. A speed equal to a mile n
minute is such an ordinary everyday &C.
currence that we are beginning to con-
slider it slow. The traius which leave
Philadelphia at 9.35 A. M, and JERSEY
City at 3.55 and 4.05 P. M, attain q
greater rate than this on every trip.
A mile in 55 seconds does not excite re-
mark even. One year ago rode from West
Philadelphia 10 Jersey City on the train
which leaves the former terminus at 1856.
Edward Osmound was the Engineer, and
Lewis Silence the conductor. The lat
ter gentleman came upon the engine
near MEMO Park, held his watch in his
hand and checked of three posts as we
passed them. The first was made in 81.
the second in 81 and the third in so sec.
onds making two minutes and SO sec
cnd for three miles, or at the rate of 72
miles an hour for the last mile.
The run from New Brunswick to Tren-
ton is often made in 25 minutes, the dis
lance being fraction les5 than 26 miles.
The daily run from Cape May exceeds a
mile minute. In many places several
of us held our watches the other dav and
found we passed five mile posts in four
minutes and thee-quarters. There ia
one point on the road where the schedule
time of this train is three miles in thrsa
minutes, and McVey, The engineer, finds
it rs easy as rolling off log. If any enc
doubts these figures he can easily test
them for himself, as there are mile posts
oil the, way from Jersey City to st. Louis.
As for the old engineers assertion that
this mile q minute business can't be
done, he must have been joking. If in
earnest, let him call on the bows on the
Pennsylvania Road who can run the
mahcines, and they will teach him his
r1diments.
Editor Of the NJ Y Sun: The let.
ter in to.day's Sun relative to the speed
OF locomotives makes our boys smile. If
Charlie Fraser never rode q mile q
minute but once in his life, let him visit
the jersey Central and e.. on one of the
New York and Philadelphia's new line
expresses. He will get faster ride than
that. have run engines with five-foot
wheels between Elizabeth and Round

1t Is common occurrence to make mile

even. fifty seconds 70 the mile. Several
regular schedules require a speed of over
o mile O minute between stations to
make running time. This speed is made
with as much safety as ordinary local
runs are. don't know how fast Erie
trains arc run, but if that letter is cor
rect they were behind the times in safe

MEXICAN HoRsEs.-Horses are bred
In great numbers ct the different haci-
endas in the provinces. some of the larger
estates having eighty or hundred thou
sand cattle and fifteen or twentr thou
sand mules and horses. The pasturage
is green all the year round, and the ami
mails receive no other food. They multi
ply as the birds do, and win as little
profit to their owners. Generally speak
ing, they run wild until wanted, when
they arc caugh: with a lasso, hood.
Ninked, and immediately mounted. For
the first Is or % minutes they exert their
whole strengtlI to throw thei- rider, but,
finding their efforts unavailing, patiently
submit, and generally give but little
trouble afferward. Owing TO their i'm
mense numbers, horses are sold very
cheap. the average price for an unbroken
heard being eight or ten dollars q head,
with but little demand at that. Il some
times occurs that the government pur.
chases n fey hundreds for the army, but.
generally speaking, there are very feT
occasions when they can be sold. Mexi-
can horses, as a rule, arc not handsome,
and are seldom more than fourteen hands
high; still /, they haze nothing of the PEI
cuiiar build of tho pony about them.
Fed entirely upon grass, they yet endure
more fatigue and are capable of main
tanning d rapii; gait for a longer time
tina the grain-fed horses of other lands.
In the towns and cities they receive the
scantiest of care and the meagerest allow.

the sitting conrt-yards, they. stand pa
tientlyI awaiting their evening meal.
Frequently they nre turned loose to.
