Among the half dozen passengers who occu-
pied the stngc conch that left the Mexican town
OF Guanajuato, bound south, at 3 O clock on the
morning of the 10th inst, were two young Amer
io"hs, FRANK Sent~r and George ErseH Tie
air was nipping and an eager air. but the men
from the States sat on top of the coach, having
beside them two Winchester rifles and any GUAM
tity ofammuntion. This precautionary measure
proved wise one, for just at daybrcak harum-
scarum trample of horses was heard along the
roadside, two musket balls whizzcd one tor the
other over their heads, and the demand 10 sur.
render came in hoarse, emphatic tones. Tho
driver, as though paralyzed, stopped tho mules
instantly. Some twenty banditti were seen in
the dim light-much more clearly than were Sir
Jack s men in buckram-and every highwaymaR
had his gun unsung. But no sooner had Scnter
and Green lifted their rifles than two Of the rob-
bers fell, at which unexpected resistance the
whole troop retreated with precipitation.
The plucky lads pulled off their coats and gct
ready for n second attack, which came in mo-
ment, the Mexcans charging with yell like
that Of the Commanchcs and just as blood curd-
fcss rft, 7JiA or rhJst Snurg rg1u',,erv Inauv, rnu
quiet intervals being Of q few seconds duration
only. Green was shot in the shoulder, but kept
his post, and flesh wound made Senter that
much the more positive in his resistance. Both
bent over on the top of the coach, their heads
close together and their breath coming thick
and fast. When the robbers at last withdrew
they left FIVE of their number dead and the car
casses of four horses blocked the way. Af-
ter the fight Scnter took a survey Of the inside
of the coach. One of the passengers, q Span
lard, had thrown his revolver out of the win
dow; another, a Mexican, had wrapped his
head in baket, and rs lady passenger had
spent the trying time on her knees.

A YOUNG LADY's TooTH IN AN OLD
MANS HEAD.-A Chicago dentist has re-
Gently transferred a grinder from the mouth
Of a pretty young lady to the corresponding
orifice of a man of middle age. This man
was unwilling to wear plate to support q
single tooth, and the dentist suggested the
transplanting of q molar from living sub
ject. Five weeks aftcrward there presented
herself a young lady whose teeth were too
many for her jaw. She could eat better
than she could talk. One of her teeth was
removed, placed in glyccrine and kept at
blood heat until the other patient could be-
summoned ; and then it was transferred to
his jaw and tied to the adjacent teeth. BY
the third day the doctor was satisfied, from
the lack of inflammation and the freedom
from pain, that the operation would be sue
cessful. On the ninth day the ligatures were
removed and on the fourteenth the tooth
was quite firm; from that time on it con-
tinued to grow frmer in its attachment to-
the jaw, until at the end of six weeks it
was as useful as its ncighbors. In color and
size the matching was nearly perfect. The
only difference between the transplanted
tooth and the original one was in the shape
of the roots that of the latter was single,
while the former had double root, but the
socket could hardly have been better filled.

NIGHT LIFE OF YOUNG MEN

One night often destroys whole life.
The leakage of the night keeps the day
forever empty. Night is sins harvesting
time. More sin and crime are committed
in one night than in all the days of the
week. This is more emphatically true
of the large towns and cities than those
of the country. The street lamps, like
file of soldiers with torch in hand stretch
away in long lines on either sidewalk;
the gay colored transparencies are ablaze
with attractions; the saloon and billiard
halls are brilliantly illuminated: music
sends forth its enchantmcnt: the gay
company begin to gather to the haunts
and houses of pleasure: the gambling
dcns are atlamc with palatial splcndor;
the theatres are wide open: the mills Of
destruction are grinding health, honor,
happiness and hope out of thousands of
lives. The city under the %aslight is not
the same as under Cod sunlight. The
alurcmcntc and pcrilS and pitfalls of
night arc hundrcd-toid deeper and dark
cr and more destructive. Night life in
our cities is a dark problem, whose
depths and abysscs and whirlpools make
us start back with horror. All night
long tears are falling. blood is streaming.
Young men, tell me how and where
you spend yourevenings, and will write
out the chart of your character and final
destiny. with blanks to insert your
names. 1t seems to me an appropriate
text would be, ''Watchrlan what of the
night?" What are the young men Of
the city doing at nighS? Where do they
spend their evenings Who are their
associates? What are their habits >
Where do they go in, and what time do
you see them come out? Policemen,
would the night Of young men commend
them to the confidence of their employers?
Make Il record of the nights of one
week, Put in the morning paper the
names of all young men, their habits and
haunts. who are on the street for sinful
pleasure. Would there not be shame
and confusion? Some would not dare to
go to their places Of business; some
would not return home at night; some
would commit suicide. Remember
young men. that in the rctina of the AL
seeing eye there is nothing hid but shall
be revealed on the last day

ABOUT THE PRESS.

y correspondent asks whether it is not
true that the first duty Of a great jour
nal is faithfully to reflect the existing
state Of public opinion. That is undoubt-
cdlya very necessary part of the function
Of q newspaper. It must hold the mir
ror up to nature, and to do that it must
reflect the condition of public opinion.
| But that is only part Of its function.
We should say that the first duty of a
great Journal editorially is to mould pub
lie opinion, not merely to echo it. The
press is an educator, not merely by show
ING what it sHppnses people generally to
think upon 4 great public question. but
also by presenting the reasons why one
opinion rather than another is sound and
wise and patriotic.
That is the only way i'll which the i'll
dependence Of the press can be preserved.
1t is true tisat in 4 certain sense what is
called leading is only sagaoious following
y shrewd man sees the drift of public
opinion, and merely anticipates it. But
it is Il part of this very shrcwdncsS that
it justly estimates the popular force of
certain principles, and therefore pereeives
that the apparent current is not the real
channel. Besides, to reflect existing
opinion faithfully is merely to guess, and
the value of guessing depends upon the
saparity of the ulIpsSpr
The independence of great journal
consists in giving the news ''uncooked."
SO that every reader can judge of its sig
nificanGc for himself, and then in such
comments as the Journal thinks the pub
lie welfare to demand. If it is subject
u party control. or Subordinates its views
of the majority Of its readers it is equal
ly far from independent. OF course if it
has no views. and is anxious to repeat
only what is generally said. it is not Il
great journal in the sense of an indcpcn-
dent powerin public affairs, and it must
guess as well as it can. If Il Journal dis
cussGs public questions, although it may
try to say only what it thinks is the gen
eral opinion. it will inevitably promote
and strengthen that opinion, and So cease
merely to reflect it. \ paper can reflect
public opinion only by publishing news,
and not editorials. An editors statement
of his guess is not public opinion. it is
merely his assertion of what he believes
