THE Fl Paso Times of Sunday con- tains nearly two columns of Indian news from Chihuahua, but it is of such a character that it is comparatively worth less-ali rumors, say-sos, etc.-nO data, that can be relied upon. Mexico Is per haps the worst place in the world from which to secure reliable and accurate in- formation. The citizens of that country do not know what news IS, and forget to tell what they do know until 1t is stale with age. The Times has evidently done its best to secure the news, and has to take what it can get, but 1t IS s jumbled mess, from which but little information can be obtained. We take from the Times the following: Yesterday every report was confirmed through many channels, the most direct and pos itiye of which IS our special from Gal lego, which appears to-day on the first page, announcing that the Indians raided the ranch of Mir. Miller, near the liue of the Mexican Central, and carried away eight horses. We have 1t direct also, that the mail riders from Corralitos to OJo Caliente reported that battle had been fought They said: "The au thoritIes at Casas Grandes conceal the true number of the wounded, but aI American surgeon at that place told Us as we were leaving, that the hospital l: full of wounded troops. The Mexicani got whipped" they told our informant "and the Indians have disbanded anC are raiding the surrounding country ! The most of them have gone into So nora. The inhabitants are scared t' death and everything IS confusion" N one can longer refuse to doubt the news and it Is a matter of regret to the Time fuller particulars cannot be given of th' fight, but everything shall be done tha is possible in order to keep our reader posted.

FBoy time to time, for the past twenty vsa--, it has been the custom to hatch up some incredulous story about the Bender family. Detectives have found mysterious looking people ID various parts Of the country who resembled old uau Bender, and the bewitching Kate has been shadowed many and many a time, and the state Of Kansas has ex- pended thousands of dollars iu search o. the cbief of mdrderers, who con- ult;ei lis dark deeds after "the old aarsary story" style. But the Renders were never found. The most competent detectives o5 the country were utterly batied by these common-looking for si-u people who made Q death trap of their cellar and graveyard of their garden. But the latest story in connec- ucu with the Bender family, IS a dls- patch stating that one J. c. Murphy while blowing Ia the garden turned up aseaIsd can containing S30,001 In green backs and cHiD. The stnrv Is not im- probable, bu. as the Bender theme is a fruitful one to play upon, we may take tLis last dose with few grains of salt added.

Where China Sends Tea

It is curious to note, too, the tastes ot the countries as shown by the kinds of tea they consume. Nine-tenths ot tEe black tea sent t0 England IS Congou whereas to America very httle but Oolong is sent. It is also fact that il 1882 not one pound of Oolonc was shipped from China to the entire cen tinent of Europe, including Russla ai z Siberia, their supply being cOmpOs D wholly of Congou; and Australia, whi poe. imported r, 100000 pounds of Cong

A Modern COrsase Bouquet.

But at any rate the bunch of flowers was larger than the head ol the young lady upon the bossom of whose dress 1t was fastened. She was rather pretty, and wOr8 a beautifully fitting custOme of dark ruby-colored sils plush, against which the faint pink of the roses showed in delicious contrast.

Mexlcans after the Reds.

The recent news ofthe Indian fight in
the Sierra Madras is confirmed by a
letter to the headquarters Of the army
Of Northern Mexico. The engagement
occurred at Suro Talmoss, heal the Chi
huahua line, on the 25th of April. Col.
Garcia left the headquarters with one
company Of the Sixth regiment, Capt.
Deyess, numbering sc men and so state
troops under Capt. Kosterlitzky, to take
up and follow the trail of the Indians on
their late raid into Sonora. After five
days forced hard marching they sue
oeeded in tracking the Indians then en-
trenched in the Sierra Madras, near the
Chihuahua line. The Indians had
notice from their scouts two DAYS i'm adj
vance of the arrival of the troops and
determined to make a desperate fight as
they secured their positions in the
toughest part ofthe mountains and there
awaited the approach Of the troops.
Gen. Garcia, as Don as he ascertained
and understood the position of the In
dams divided the troops into two col
umns, placing one under Col. Torres Of
The state troops, and headed the other
himself. After hours Of hard fighting

nom their stronghold and putting them

their bucks dead. Many were observed
during the action carried away wound

And two federals killed and some eight

stock stolen by the Indians in the last
said was captured and is now on the

we're $50 to 200 Indians engaged. The
ocantains appeared to be covered with
them. Two days before the fight, when

they removed their families from the

A Dakota farm is like no other on the
footstool. 1t produces more wealth, is
easier managed, and requires less to
manage than any other country on earth.
There are no rocks to clear away, as in
the east no trees to fell, as in the
middle states no bitches to dig, and no
irrigation to plan as in some of the west
ern states; no drouth To fear, as in the
southeast, 10 floods TO fear, as in the
rice bottom lands Of the lower Missis-
sippi no levies to build or fertilizers to
buy, as in the older agricultural coun-
tries, and no past record Of failure TO
hover and alarm the men who plows
and reaps in the wheat garden of the
Universe. The land that was put in
crop eleven years age is as fertile to day
as then. Yearly there is no diminution
in the productive qualities of this un-
equaled land. The promises Of future
are always kept in this Mecca of the for
tune seeker. Had the seacher for mar
velous things in the old time, who bold
~ embarked upon al unknown sea. and
having landed upon an unknown coast,
bravely pushed into the forest to meet
the Dana who always wants to he over
taken-had these bold searchers pene-
trated to imperial Drkota they would
have considered their mission accom-
plished. There is 10 need to go beneath
the surface for gold, fof it lies OF top.
No great amount of labor is necessary to
accumulate great riches in a country
where the ground prepared and the seed
placed beneath it assures the harvest i'm
due time. Dakota farms are the most
profitable on the sod and are a mine Of
wealth, never failing. to those who pos.
sess them.-Ex.
