MEXICAN HORSES. Horses are bred in great
numbers at the different haoiendas in the
provinces, some of the larger estates having
eighty or a hundred thousand cattle and tif-
teen or twenty thousand mules and horses.
The pasturage is green all the year round,
and the animals receive no other food. They
multiply as the birds do, and with as little
profit to their owners. Generally speaking,
they run wild until wanted, when they are
caught with lasso hoodwinked, and imme-
diately mounted For the first 10 or 20 min
utes they exert their whole strength to throw
their rider, but, finding their efforts unayail-
ing patiently submit, and generally give but
little trouble afterward. Owing to their inn
mense numbers horses are sold very cheap,
the average price for an unbroken herd be-
ing eight or ten dollars a head, with but little
demand at that 1t sometimes occurs that
the government purchases few hundreds
for the army, but, generally speaking, there
are very few occasions when they can be
sold. Mexican horses, as rule, are not hand
some, and are seldom more than II hands
high still they have nothing of the peculiar
build of the pony about them. Fed entirely
upon grass, they yet endure more fatigue
and are capable of maintaining a rapid gait
for longer time than the granted horses of
other lands. In the towns and cities they re-
eeiye the scantiest of care and the meagerest
allowance of food Tied up the whole day
IN the sitting court-yards, they stand patient
ly awaiting their evening meal. Frequently
they are turned loose together, when it re-
quires the use of lasso to catch them. So
familiar with this instrument do they become
that the moment the animal feels the rope
about its neck it stands stock still, when
without it it would not allow itself TO be sad
died or bridled. --COrrespOadence ". y. Zoe

The London "Truth" thinks thr

The London "Truth" thinks that a name
is worth a good deal in the case of Alfred
Tennyson. The Laureate's elder brother in
herited Grasby Hall and some neighboring
farms many years ago, and for the sake of
the II 900 or CO, 900 year which they yield
ed he entirely dropped the Tennyson, and be-
came the Rev Charles Turner, a name which
stands on the title page of his book of SON
nets He died few months ago. leaving no
children, and his wife followed him TO the
grave within a few weeks. The next heir is
the Laureate, but he will not accept the con-
diton which vigorously enforces the entire
suppression of the Tennyson. Doubtless
there will be found nephew, if not son,
willing to forgo the prestige attached to the
family name for the sake of a comfortable in
heritanoe, but the succession is still unsettled.

devoted several pages to a description of the
cell, and in particular of the detected, heart
broken appearance of this criminal, whose
life has been cruelty tortured out of him by
the solitary confinement system" Lang
heimer had decorated his cell with colored
drawings made with dyes extracted from the
warns he was working, and the cell is still
shown TO visitors as one of the curiosities of
the place. He had made hower-bed in his
ward which Dickens described as Cooking
for all the world like little grave" The old
man is still hale and hearty, and does not look
as though his sufferings in early life had been
so very great

TRIAL OF THE cH1soLM MuRDERERs.
The state yesterday rested its case at De-
Kalb, Miss, in the trial of Henry j. Gully
for the murder of Cornelia Chisolm. The
object of the prosecution has been to estab-
fish conspiracy on the part of the defend
ant and others to kill Chisolm, Gimer and
Rosenbaum, and that in carrying it into eff
feet they killed Cornelia and other persons.
One of the jurymen, G. c. Stewart, has
been i'll since adjournment Tuesday night
and on that account it was impossible to pro-
coed with the trial yesterday. It is hoped
that he will recover sufficiently this afternoon
to allow the case to proceed. The defense
has number of witnesses to testify on other
points brought out by the prosecution.
THE STATE PAIR.
The show at the State fair now in progress
at Montpelier, is reported unusually large

The San Bernardino Times an
 Gounces the arrival Of party of i'm
 migrants in that vicinity who were investigating the inducements that
 valley offers for settlement, and says
 "they are direct from Leadville, and report it a prosperous place. They came through Arizona, and say they nope to be eternally delivered from such barren land. They are very in ttiiigent people,"
 This earnest supplication of every intelligent people" will undoubtedly be justly regarded and they and we will remain eternally happy. How ever we are quite positive that intel ligent people" who cross Arizona in immigration wagons are not at all qualified to make an intelligent report upon the resources of our Territory. A weary traveller from the frigid north may consider it dreary trip to cross Arizona in summer but that does not alter the fact that our population is rapidly increasing and our valleys are filling up with industrious and pros porous farmers. Our mountains are being thoroughly explored and the development in mines during the past two years has surprised even the most sanguine. Occasionally we have a citizen of fair intelligence who seems able to content himself this side of the San Bernardino valley. One of our new mines has turned out $100,000 in bullion since the tst of June and other mines are in a condition to do the same as soon as machinery can be set up. The railroad will soon be rumbling past the doors of our prin- cipal mining districts and then we ex- pect things will bloom and it is possible our "very intelligent i'm migrants may regret they did not ex- anime more carefully before they pass ed by on the other side and left us to " suffer" in the desert It may be tedious to travel across Arizona yet there are many places in our Territory where it is not only pleasant to live but also decidedly profitable.

H1 GUfi1W Killed.

Information has reached us through what we believe to be reliable sources to the effect that Streeter, the outlaw, was recently killed in Janos in per sonal quarrel with Spanish o1cer. There is little doubt that Streeter has for several years past been raiding along the Sonora line, Tn company with the troublesome Apache rene gades, who make their home in the vicinity of Janos and who often run as far east as the Rio Grande in New Mexico. It is certainly a cause for congratulation when such character is placed beyond the possibility Of further harm. It is difficult to con ceive of a worse crime than that of in- citing and aiding savages in their depredations upon civilized communi- ties.
Arizona citizen., 1879-08-29

Readers will please keep in mind that the first column represents only 2 half years warrants.
 It will be observed that there is 8 steady increase all along the line, which is met, however, by the fact that the assessment roll is larger this year than last by over half million. The Supervisors have had to respond 70 the demands of large immigrant population, which has not yet con- menced 10 pay taxes; and it will un- doubtediy be compelled to enlarge the debt this year. The fees of officers are very largs, and as business in the courts increase the county will have to pay heavily until the fee laws are readjusted.
 There are few items in the above which, tc the casual observer, might seem a little extravagant on the part of the Board. The physicIan's account is one of these; but it must be remem- bered that Dr. Handy takes complete care of all the hospital patients under an express contract. Just why so large allowances should be made to the Recorder for mortgage abstracts is hard to see.

In despair he "took in " Pima fOIe He has not had a moments peace since.

Sickness on the Rio Grdnde.

We regret to learn that the fever
 which was so prevalent in the Mesilla
 Valley two years since has again made
 its appearance, and in an equally viru- lent form, The cases are not so nu-
 mercus in the immediate vicinity of Las Cruces and Mcsilla, but farther south, at La Mesa, Chamberino, and as far down as Fl Paso, the disease is spreading very rapidly and the mor- talitv is said to be unusually great. To add to the general distress, the Rio Grande continues dry, the corn crop from Dofia Ana south has been lost through lack of water, and flour al- ready commands a price far above the means of the poorer classes. Barn castles steam mill at Dofa Ana is theI only one now in operation in the en- tire valley. and as it runs only during the day the supply of flour falls very far short of the demand. It seems certain that very great distress will prevail during the coming fall and winter.-[Silyer City Herald
