New Mexico. as described by lively correspondent of the New York Times, is not the paradise that the writers of prospectuses of the Sombrero X Chili Rralroad Company, or the Baby Mine Gold and Silver Producdor Company, allow it to be. "The wind is windeth every day" says this homesick settler,

A stinging Rebufi.
Australasian.


 A swain who was tilted by young lady in Wellington had his revenge. She wrote to him and requested that he would be good enough to return the lock of her han which he had obtained from her. His reply was brief and to tde point. Rumaging his trunk he collected a heap of tresses, culled from varions sources during his love-making career. snd forwarded them in bundle to his deceitful fair inclosing note to the ei- fect that he had really forgotten which was hers. but she might select it rom those forwarded and return the rest at her earliest convenience. This is con sidered stinging rebufi, and so 1t was with q. vengeance. The ladyJls now on yislt to some country ,rf3atlNes.
