THE Mexican States of Chihuahua, Durango and Sonora are nov receiving fiattering notice in Boston and Kansas City papers. The Atchison 6 Topeka and Mexican Central railways which are so largely interested in Mexican roads, are causing the gool qualities of our sister republic to be shown up Tn their most favorable light. They recognize the need of Americans Tn Mexico, aud are using their influence to turn emigrs- tion in that direction. How well they will succeed. time alone can tell. We do not, however, look for mach of q boom in that direction so long as we have so much waste land and undevel- oped mines on this side of the line. Many have gone to that country from the United States, for tIe purpose Of settling and making homes, bnt they .n- variably return to this si ie after try ing 1t few months. IT American colo nies were formed anl settlements mlde in advantageous Localities, they might gradually be extended. but there are 70 few of such places to be had that the Mexicans will keep their hold on the country in spite Of their more energetic neighbors from the North.

The best place for the new schOOl-house is on the south end of the Military plaza. It will be but & short time until the larger portion of the population of Tueso1 will bo east of that point; but at present, it is tine most desirable location that could be selected. We fully en- dorse the views Of the school board on 1 this question.

Many foreigners have kept away from Paris of late, owing to it's unsettled condition.

CLARK has sheep which, during

One evening Mr.. Clark heard con.

upon investigation, found the sheep
and calves quietly eating apples
under one OF the trees. In "a few
minutes all the apples were eaten,
when to his surprise, he saw the
sheep back of several yards and
butt the tree with full force, bring

persistent was the sheep in hrs

Jewelry Tor the street.

There has been . great change
OF late years in the fashion OF wear.
ing jewelry on the street, aud the
tendency Is still to get rid Of all
show and parade OF jewels, restrict
ing IL TO esseRtials--a watch and
collar button. Twenty-Five years
ago a woman who could afford IL
carried small jewelry shop in
rings, bracelets, pins, earrings,
watch, long chains, and pendants.
The modern limitations, which
are 50 good that an expert is re-
quired to detect them, made 1t pos.
sible for rall women TO wear jewelry,
aud the moment lt became common
1t ceased to be desirable, at least
with au exclusively fashionable
class, and was voted vulgar in the
street.
Long chains and chateline chains
are equally discredited though they
have not wholly disappeared, aud
the fav0rite watch is u small one
suspended from an engraved band,
composed OF tiny plates connected
by links, and attached to the belt.
the watch falling into u little pock.
ct of the dress.
Naturally there are constant
fluctuations, many spurts of fashion,
many temporary crazes for pins and
bangles, some Of which still survive,
aud are likely to be superseded by
others-the pig craze, the owl
craze, aud now tue hy and grass.
hopper craze-but these are all
fancies which are born and die with
u season. The permanent tendency
is toward the elimination Of jewelry
from street costume, and the best
dressed women even now allow
none to he visible except, perhaps,
the smallest aud least CONSPICUOUS
OF pearl or gold knobs screwed into
the ears. Now tina. chains have
been discontinued, it is found that
they were dis6guring rather than
ornamental that their weight
crushed lace and disarranged the
front OF the dress. Bangles, too,
spoil the shape of really beautiful
arm, aud are not admissible with
the very long gloves. m they snail
the contour of the lower arm aud
destroy the gradually Diminishing
effect.
One OF the most elegant women
in New York wears Jewelry only
when 1t is necessary to produce a
certain picturesque aud complete
effect. With solne OF her fine
toilets she wears not even a pin, as
that would mar tho ruff effect at
the throat.

bill BY Maj. s. A. Jones, Of Louisiana. the
original beiug owned by George ). Lee, Of

Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And nsught in the water below il;
A pledge Of q nation that's dead and

Keep it dear friend, and show it.

To the tale this paper can tell,
on liberty boru, OF the patriots dream,
of the storm-cradled milton that iell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of stranger 10 borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled aud the weeks became
years,
But our Golfers were empty stifl;
Coin was so rare that the treasury quaked
II adollar should drop in the till.
But the iaith that was in us was strong
indeed,
And our poverty well discerned.
And those little checks represented the
pay
That our suffering volunteers earned.
We knew 1t had hardly valnc in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received il;
Ii gazed in our eyes with promise TO day
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little ofprice or pay,
Or Of bills that were over due,
We knew If 1t brought us bread to-day
Twas the best our poor country could
do,
Keep tit tells our history over
From the birth of Its dream TO the last !;
Modest, and born OF the angel OF hope,
Like the hope Of success it has passed.

When seduction is declared as tue

promptly to its falsenesS, denies

a fact or anything that could be
wrested into such Significance, and
her father expresses himself ready
to help the widow and her children
in any way aud at asy time. About

den. 1t appears, too, that so far
nom being engaged to Mr.. Jenkins,
which very stupid people might
suppose a warrant for such q con-
fessiou, she was soon to be married
to another gentleman.
At last tue evidence is brought
out In open conrt-with opposing
counsel present to eross.examine
and TO confuse, and to make con.
Trajectory, and hence uugatory,
any false Testimony that might be
offered-that Ben. Jenkins atten.
tions to another young lady had
not been prosperous, that he was
displeased and suspicious OF Mr..
Borden, that he deliberately plans,
two weeks in advance, to awaken
the jealousy OF the young lady
aforesaid aud spite Mr.. Borden by
u dive with u ayoung lady at the
college, aud that at the point of
consummation he is baked by the
refusal of Mr.. Borden to allow the
young lady to 60, in accordance
with an established rule of the col.
lege. 1t appears also that he har.
bors Ill thoughts Of his friend, aud

college, his personal reputation for
honesty, and his disposition to pro.
selyte girls OF another faith in the
college, at the same time he is an
honored guest, a friend enjoying
the intimacies and condolences OF
Mr. Borden and his family, and a
good deal more of the same sort.
Well, what of Mr.. Borden's guilt
