OF the Bandits Killed and Many
Wounded.

VILLA LAREDO, DURANGO, MEX, Sep
TENDER 2.-For three months past large
band of we'll armed, well mounted, and
well commanded robbers has infested
what Is known as the Laguna country,
comprising portion of the States OF
Coahuila, chihuahua, and Durango. Their
robberies, cattle thefts, arsons, rapes and
murders had become OF daily occurrence.
Some two weeks ago the State authorities
took the matter In hand, put large force
of rangers In the field and persstently
hunted the robbers down. They were
exceedingly difficult to come up with, as
their haunts were In section OF country
thickiy crowded with dense swamps,
lakes and lagoons
On Sunday band Of rangers, number
ing eighteen, surprised the main troop Of
bandits, numbering thirty, who at once
took TO the underground and opened fire.
After an engagement Of some duration,
with no casualties, the bandits fed, and
running fight ensued, In which two OF
the robbers were killed and several
wounded. One OF the rangers was badly
hurt. The bandits lost many horses
and some pack-mule with provisions.
One OF their dead is said to be Juan Ber-
waya, the Captain Of the band. Tho
rangers are still In pursuit.

field near by. An hour later they again
fired and retreated as before, keeping up
these charges at intervals of about an
hour until four O'Clock in the morning,

than 100 shots into various houses. In the
charge they made at two o'clock one of
the gang shot Henry Nichols, INJECTING a
mortal wound. The men who came to

PITTSBURGH, Pa, September Am
element of excitement was added to the
strike of coal miners in the river district
to-day by the arrival of a large party Of
Hungarians who were put to work in
place of the strikers In the Garfield
mines. This is the first importation OF
Hungarian laborers into the Pittsburgh
districts. The strikers held meeting
and decided to establish camp near the
Garfield mines and compel the Hungari-
ans to live underground, or quit the dis.
trict. The introduction of Hungarians
at this time is regarded as unfortunate.

Deputy McBurney the Sheriff retired for

In selecting a cutting a great deal de.
ponds upon a iudicious choice; il the slip
is too young and full Of fresh sap, it viii
fade away from too much evaporation; il
it is too old-hard and woody-it will take
a great while to strike root,
You must take cutting that is per.
fectly ripened and is from a vigorous
shoot, yet little hardened at the base.
1t is also essential to have a bud or Joint
at or near the end of the cutting: as all
roots strike from 1t, and the nearer it is to
the base the greater your chance of sue
cess.
Plant your cuttings in common red pots
filed half full of rich loan and twoinches
of sand on top securing sand will do, but
not sea sand); wet this thoroughly and
put the cuttings close around the edge of
the pot, for If the bud or Joint comes In
contact with the surface of the pot, it
seems to strike root more quickly. Pull
off the lower leaves before YOU plant the
cutting. Press the wet sand tightly about
the tiny stem, for a great deal of your sue
cess in raising the cutting depends upon
the close contact Of the sand with the
stem. When the cuttings are firmly
planted cover them with a glass shade If
possible, as it will greatly promote the
growth of the plant.
Moisture. light and heat are the three
essentials to plant nfe-without them no
cuttings will start.
Shaue for two or three days from the
sunlight, but don't let the sand become
dry; then give all the sun you can obtain,
keep up a good supply of moisture, and
you can hardly fail to root most OF our
cuttinOE

REsURRECTIONIsT BLAINE.
His Celebrated Bloody Shirt Speech In
the Famous Amnesty Debate.


But Mr.. Blaine, being fairly in the bone
business, was not content with the CHASTITY
spOils of the Andersonville bitches 1t
will be observed that every one of the
s'histOric cruelties" cited by him were
cruelties inflicted by Roman Catholics.
He eagerly explored the vaults of the In
QUESTION, fondly traced the ravages of
Alva and hung gloating over the massacre
of st. Bartholomew. That must have
been a moment of supreme triumph to the
learned politician. He had not only placed
his skeleton far in advance of Mr.. Nor
toms bloody shirt, but he was just then
about two lengths ahead of Grant in his
anti-Catholic development. These chron-
icles of the darker ages were sealed to the
uneducated soldier and the studiOus
Blaine was not slow to improve his
advantage. But, on the whole, the
spectacle is not attTactive-this of
reckless demagogue blowing the embers
of dying sectional passions and armed
with glowing brand to burn his mothers
church. He might have remembered his
grandfather Ephraim, the pious beef con-
tractor Of the revolutionary war; he might
have remembered the long line of ances-
tors who have fallen asleep in the faith
against which he agitates; he might have
remembered his mother, home and bap-
tism, or even those maiden aunts who,
with the Sisters of Charity, still prosecute
their self-lmpoSed mission OF healng ana
mercy under the ecclesiastical authority
which he affects to dread; he might have
remembered any or all of these; but if he
did, they were dismissed as trifes which
his vaulting ambition would not brook.
In the vulgar strife for Grants old boots
there is no room for either mental or moral
integrity.
In case Mr.. Blaine succeeds in getting
the Republican nomination by making the
loudest and coarsest bid, the country ar
fist who will paint his picture for the
campaign banners will have the opportu-
nifty of his life. Let him draw the figure
of a well-fed and somewhat oOrpulent
gentleman, his capaciOus pockets filled
with protruding documents labeled
''Credit Mobilier Shares,' STOPPING and
industriously clawing open a secluded
grave, over which the grass has grown
green and the flowers have bloomed
through many a year of peace.

The Philadelphia Press says: "sugaT
has never been as cheap in this country
or the world as in the last few months -
and this in the face of a vast increase in
its consumption. The United States has
increased its consumption from 63,041
tons a month in 1890, to 9O,5O1 in 1884, or
43 per cent. Low prices, of course, will
increase consumption, but will not &C
count for the vast quantity on the market,
This is due to the attention given to the
production of beet sugar in Europe and
Of sorghum in this and other countries.
They may not make good sugar Of sorghum
nor rival the cane sugar with that of beets,
put they Sl0eeten and cheaper prices all
tAe same. The world is better sweetened
now than it ever was before. and nearly
all countries now have some plant from
which to extract sugar.

Distributing Seeds.

The seed bureau at Washington has as
sumed extraordinary proportions. No less
than 1922, 1873 packages of seed were mailed
last year, all of them going through the
mail free. This is an average of several
packages for every farmer in the country
and of something over 10000 for each
Congressman. Several members do even
better than this. The city NJ. CPS, of
course, have very little use for these agri-
cultural gifts and generally exchange
their quota Of seed for the pamphlets and
books distributed free by the government,
so that there are not a few members who
annually dis, tribute from $4,000 to Is, 900
packages, sending at least one to every
voter in their district. 1t would seem an
immense job for them to address such a
number of packages. Instead of doing
this, they ransack directories, write to
local politicians for lists of names and
furnish these lists to the Department OF
Agriculture, which forthwith supplies all
their orders.

Losses in Pure-Bred Cattle at the
South.

1t is lamentable to see how little knoWl-
edge of animal pathology and common
sense Southern breeders exercise in TAX
ing cattle from the North into their coun-
try. One breeder has recently lost 16 out
of 81 head there; and this is only a sam
pie of losses, smaller or greater, con-
stantly taking place at the South. l have
been writing in the agricultural papers
for forty years or more past, on this sub
ject, warning breeders not to take any
sort of cattle that are over six to nine
months old, from Northern to Southern
region, and to make this change in the
months of November, December and Jan
uary only.
When they have arrived at their new
location, they ought to be fed as much as
possible as they were at the place from
whence they came, also be kept in dark
ened stables during hot days, so as not to
have a scorching sun beat down upon
them, or be tOrmented by singing and
biting insects. They ought, also, to be
stabbed at night and thus kept out of the
dew, as this is almost as pernicious, fall
ing upon them, as the torrid sun during
the day. Let the cattle have little run,
for exercise, from an hour before sunrlse
to an hour after, and again an hour or so
before shutdown to half an hour after.
1t is dangerous turning Northern cattle
on to wild Southern pastures at any sea-
son OF the year, even in winter, for they
are liable to browse on poisonous plants
or shrubbery growing there, of the nature
of which they know nothing. Allow them
to run in pastures OF cultivated grasses
alone, or on rye before heading, or oats
previous to the grain hardening, or feed
dwarf sweet corn as soon as 1t tassels,
taking this away from them when the
corn begins to glaze.
The water in pastures is often danger
Gus to drink, not only for cattle from the
North, but the natives, for it is sometimes
poisonous and breeds leeches. These lat
ter are occasionally sucked in by the cat
tie when drinking, and they then fasten
in their Vitals, causing internal bleeding,
followed by death.-C0rrespO Of Ma
tiOnGL Lice Stock Journal, Chicago.
