AmoIe, > Plant That yields
S0aD.

From the Tucson Citizen.
These caoti grow on the American
continent from Mount Shasta on the
north to q similar latitude in South
America, and from the Pacific coast
to east Of the Rio Grande, through
New Mexico aud Western Texas.
The flower stalks are destitute OF
leaves, but are plentifully supplied
with branches about eighteen inches
long, from which flowers OF white and
yellow colors are suspended in the
Towering season. The dubious root
is from one to six inches in diameter
and from six to eighteen inches long.
A saponaceous juice is expressed
from the root, and the fibre of the
leaves is heckled for the manufacture
of mattresses. cushions and chair seats.
The vegetable soap extracted from the
root has been used by the Indians,
Mexicans and others for many years
as a hair wash. and exceeds in purity
our manufacture from animal sub
stances.
The preservative qualities Of the
soap are we'll known, and its use gives
the hair fine natural glow, prevent
ing decay of the hair and entirely
graduating dandruff or other impure
ties Of the scalp.
Cattle eat the leaves in the spring
as a purgative; and when cut into
bits and thrown on water where fish
abound. the effect is stupefaction Of
the fish, when they can be easily,
taken.
The price among the Indians and
Mexicans, who sell it in Tucson, is
five cents for bunch of two stalks in
terlacod (mancuerns). ,s
For cleaning flannels the amole is
found vastly superior. 1t may be
hoped that the manufacture and
preparation Of amole may become one
Of the industrial pursuits Of the age.

BILL NYE ON OSCAR WILDE.
Interview af the Booming rs
thetic With the New
APOSTLE.


Aataniao DVuhteAUAa
Wewent down to the overland train
Thursday evening to see the great
aesthetic. We picked him out without
any trouble, and tackled him for q
quiet little talk all by ourselves.
Mr.. Wilde is very tall, with face
like broad ak. We told him that
our name was the great Wyoming
aesthetic. He smiled like a rolling
mill and shook hands.
he wore soft hat and kind of
steel colored velvet sack coat. He
also wore his hands in his pockets
clear up to his elbow Joints. He
wears kind of Byron collar and a
necktie the color of diseased liver.
His pants were of gray material and
held in place with pale pink gum sus-
penders. These we're shown as he
stopped over, his coat being cut just
below the shoulder blades. His
shoulder blades arc high and intel
lectual.
He wears his hair long, with hay
and little mementoes from the sleep
ing-car in it. His face is thin, and
when buried in piece of pie must be
q ghastly sight.
Mr.. Wilde's teeth are evidently his
own. Nobody could make teeth like
them and escape the vigilance COM
mittee. They are broad and prominent,
with tendency to 60 out and look for
air. He does not seem strong, but his
breath proves this impression to be
erroneous. Mr.. Wilde wore silk
handkerchief the color Of the illustra-
tions found in the public documents
describing the cattle plague.
He spoke Of various topics with a
seductive drawl, wiggling his timber,
angle worm legs as he spoke and posing
like giraffe with the collie, for the
benefit Of ladies who stood near. He
wipes his nose in a languid, yet soulful
way, and makes you wish he would do
SO again.
We asked him when he would re-
turn to England, and he tossed his
name in the air and said:
"Ahl / don't know whether shall
survive or no"
you get a good deal of free adver-
Using, / see" said the Boomerang
man, gnawing a little fragment from
an irregular piece Of navy and
thoughtlessly stepping on the patent
leather shoe of the great aesthetic.
Yes, sir. Most too much Of it.
Still it pays moderately, he, he, he,
However, it is absolutely stupid Of
them to make such beastly and pecu.
liar Jokes upon me, you know"
Mr.. Wilde's complexion is very
pallid, with here and there a little
pimple that relieves the monotOny
some. He wears no beard or mus
tache at all, bat makes up for that
with large growth OF hair on his
head, which falls in graceful festoons
over his shoulders like a horses tail
over an olive green dashboard. He is
just as full of soul as he can be, and
walks and breathes and exists like a
two year old steer in cabbage grove.
He smiles every little while like a
collicky Baby in its sleep, and signs
and places himself in statuesque posi-
tions, as though something had given
away in his apparel and he was trying
to keep his ethereal pantaloons OIL till
people looked the other way.

The teud between the Ford BOYS
and the James boys, instead Of sub
siding with Jesse's death and Bob's
indictment for killing Wood Hite, is
breaking out worse than ever. The
Ford boys claim Governor Crittenden
for their side, and the Governor owns
that he may possibly pardon Bob if he
should be convicted of numbering Mr.
Hite. But the other gang reioices in
the leadership OF Frank James. and
joined by Jim Dougherty, John Pom.
eroy, Polk Wells, Sill Norris and other
emiRent Missourians in the knife and
pistol line, have solemuly resolved to
remove net only the Ford boys, but ali
other boys who have acted as witnesses
in legal proceedings against the James
boys. Governor Crittenden, however
is not frightened, and proclaims his
belief that the real Frank is dead, the
present one being a pretender. Blu

Moltke to be dead. during that sol

renewals among the opposing forces 0

Women to the Front.

Judge Brady, Of the New York
Supreme Court, has repudiated the
time worn doctrine of the common
Law that wife can't sue her husband.
In 1860 the Legislature passed a law
authorizing a married woman to bring
an action for damages against any per
son for injury to her person or char
acter. Soon after the Supreme Court,
clinging to all that is ridiculous and
barbarous in the past, declared that
the act did not enable woman to sue
her husband ana that TO permit s1ch
an appeal for protection against the
brutality of her husband would be
contrary to the policy Of the law and
destructive of that conjugal union
and tranquility which it has
always been the object of the
law to guard and protect" The effect
OF such interference with mans
privilege of beating his wife would be,
in the language of the court, ITO in.
volve the husband and wife in per-
petual controversy and litigation; to
SOW the seeds Of perpetual discord and
prof" and to wage war with domes
tic peace" II was time that such
senile doctrine be driven from court.
On the other hand the New Hamp.
shire courts has just rendered deeis
ion recognizing the responsibilities as
well as the privileges Of women. In a
Islander case Judge Foster has properly
decided that an action may properly
lie against her, instead of her husband
being responsible. She may have a
separate legal existence, property
contracts, ETC., and there is no reason
why she shouldn't pay for her own
chin.music. The old legal fiction that
husband and wife are one and he the
one" is fast disappearing.

There is one more point worth con-
sidering. At recent visit to a large
plantation l was curious to see the
trade marks on the various machinery.
The boilers we're from Louisville, the
massive engine from st. Louis, the
copper vacuum pan was made in Gin
cinnati, the centrifugals were from
New York. while the big pump that
transported the thousands Of gallons
ofjuice was from Boston. Everything
else about the mill, the brick and lum-
Der OF which it was composed, the
wagons, plowS, in fact everything,
from the wool hats on the negroes
heads to the meal eaten by the mules,
came from the North, and the over
seer, sitting on his Kentucky horse,
smoked tobacco in a Connecticut
made pipe. The prospect then was
that the plantation would yield this
year at least 100000 pounds of sugar
marketing at $4,000. Nine-tenths Of
this money would ultimately finds its
way North in payments for food and
manufactures, for even the negro la
borers must have something to eat and
TO wear. Now, the plantation lies IN.
der four feet OF water. Not q pound
Of sugar will be made this year, and
not more than half crop next season
and merchants must look elsewhere fol
customers.
