Distinguishing Names.

The different kinds of criminals in
New Mexico and Arizona are given dis
tinguishing names. "Rustlers" are
thieves who steal cattle on the United
States side of the line. run them into
Mexico. sell them there, and then load
themselves with Mexican plumber for
the return trip. "Cowboys" are those
who earn an honest living by herding.
and behave well enough when at work.
although when in the towns for holi-
day they commit all manner of out
RACES for fun. ''Card jerkers' are
professional gamblers who cheat those
with whom they play. "Dinglers" are
stage robbers. Notchers" are men
who wantonly take human life, appar-
emily with the sole object Of gaining
reputation as desperadoes. They are
the terror of the border, and little is
ever done to bring them to punishment,
except BY the sudden resentment of a
mob. Silver City. however, is an ex-
ception in this respect among border
towns, for it has q District Attorney
who prosecutes vigorously, and Sheril
who does not let his prisoners escape.
The trials are queer. the jurors often
being unable to understand anything
but Spanish, while the speaking is done
in English; but that does not seem to
hinder convictions, for sixteen con-
demned murderers are now in Jail I'M

Artificial Respirator (p.tented). SO
that he NAV not lose his wind in the
velocity Of his transit
But what about standing armies and
the rivalry between Nations under the
forthcoming dispensation' Well, 1t is
highly probable that before the people
of this earth consent to live at amity
they will conscientiously try all the ap-
pliances OF science for the destruction
Of one another. There will be awful
battles, first at sea with torpedoes, then
on land with electrical artillery and dy-
Mantle shells. which will hash whole
army corps into bits. and finally the
aerial navies Of this world will smash
each other heartily in the clouds. After
this, when they have done one another
all the harm they can. the people of the
earth NAV take rest and agree that war
is poor way of killing time; but let
Generals and iingoes take heart. BY
the time Nations have begun to enjoy
universal peace some method will have
been discovered of putting this globe
in communication with our nearest
neighbor. the planet Mars, and it is
easy to imagine what will follow then.
After brief period passed in the ex-
C. ange OF polite messages it vii! be
unanimously admitted that our glObular
honor demands that we should de-
clare war against Mars. Possibly
it will be found that our Mar
tian foes are more advanced in
science than we, and that the varia-
tions in our climate result from some
unjustitiable liberties which they have
been taking with the sun bv focusing
all its RAYS for themselves. We cannot
expect that our descendants will stand
this; so they will unite ali their ener-
gies for the fabrication of mammoth en-
gines which will discharge oceans
water, metal and fire right into the face
of Mars. In return the Martians will
pelt them with aeroliths weighing three
thousand tons, which will chip whole
mountains of the Himalayas and make
a big hole where Mont Blanc now ex-
lists. 1t may not be forbidden us to
hope for a blessed time in the future,
when all the planets will be in conf
muniOn and plunged in continual wars,
to end, OF course, in universal peace.
Then, doubtless, man will have mas
tered all that he is to know, and will
be ripe for other destinies which we
cannot even guess at. Giants will once
more inhabit the earth-giants of cult
ure, no more dressed in skins and
welding clubs-and we. their pigmy
forefathers, with our small heads and
hearts and our puny doings. will not be
SO much as remembered among them.

POPULAR POETRY.

There was young Louisville rough,
Who wanted Il newspaper POUCH:
But il wasn't the kind
That he liked, SO he whined.
"Dont give me no more o that slough.
There's chap on the Marias des Cygne.
Who courfed a girl somewhat grygne.
She referred him to dad,
Who treated the lad
In a way that was awfully mygne.
A young swell once saw tit to laugh
At gray-haired old man with a stau9h.
Who stood the young swell
ON his ear for a spell,
Which wasn't so funny by haugh.
And this same young swell. with his laughter
Got into n scrape not long aughter.
He derided mis- ma.
When his big-fistcd pa
Made him wish that he never had chaughed err.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

Persons residing in the vicinity of
Rapids City, few days ago discovered on
the river bank the coat, hat, and other
clothing of a man supposed to be o. john
son of this city. The story was imme-
diately started that johnson had commit
ted suicide. Papers found in theelothing
gave the information as the owners name.

mains had not been found, no inquest was
held. Parties from this city visited Rapids

lief, or it would soon be too late. About
this time, January 10, 1879, DR. Whites
Pulmonaria was highly recommended to
me, and | at once purchased of our drug

by the first few doses, and continued to
grow better until she was entirely cured by
