guor. This new book of II. H. 5 charms
me before ! even look into il. can seem
to see the old Mexican half feudul times
before the AmericanOs came from the
north as the Goths of old swept southwark
upon Rome see the poems, the Indians
of the missions, the kind hearted, if igno-
rant, old priests who ruled their dusky
congregations by love and personal loyal
ty even more than by spiritual influence.
And then-comes the Northman and
after him--the deluge.
III. H." has thrown herself, heart and
soul, into this book of hers, this passion
ate appeal from dumb lips in behalf, not
of the past sufferers, they are dead -
but of their children. She has shown
with consummate art that n soul fingers,
lives in the dusky breast, loves, and dies
under stony heartlessness as surely rs
though there was satin garment around
it. II is wonderful book, and know
of no writer after George Eliot who could
have handled these elements with such
pathos, 50 pitiful an unspoken sorrow
as is the thread that runs through this
saddest of love-stories, the tale of Ramo-
ma. sad not from crime but from mis-
fortune, for, throughout, the purity of
the book is spotless. Fancy it Right

his own people but II servant here RamO

not knowing who she is herself, even, be-
You'd that in her veins also runs the wild
blood of the forest and back of all the
stern old Sonora who rules the great es-
tate with soul of an angel to all but
this her foster child whom she drives from
her at the last without even her inheri-
lance, the old jewels whose possession
would have saved her from want and the

of the plan adopted by the deceased to

Sunday last. He had torn a strip
from blanket IN the cell, and tied it
through the CRATES of his window,
making a looop in which he placed
his head aud raised his feet. At any
time he could have Strengthened up
and saved his life.

tion.house for the east-bound pasjen-
ger train, thinking to have some fun,
they tod the section boss that they
were train robbers and intended to flag

ed the conductor that robbers would
flag him at the section house. The
conductor notified the passengers, and
every one hid their money and jeWelry
Some got gatlin guns, others their
boobies, and the rest got under tne
seats. 1t was q time to try men
souls. The enemy was just ahead
and blood was about to flow. AS the
| train approached the section house tne
signal was seen, but the engineer
put on all steam, hid down II
the cab and the train went by IKE
a shot, and the passengers breathed
again. The surprise of the party ol
nimrods can better be imagined thar
described. When the train reached
