3Ir. Dana on the Annexation Of
Mexico.

New York sun.
There are some hasty philosophers who
imagine that the United States is likely
in time to annex at least the northern
portion Of Mexico; and this notion also
finds favor among a considerable number
of wealthy Mexicans. who suppose that
their property interest would be safer if
the government Of the northern republic
extended over them.
This notion, however, seems to be en-
tirely fanciful. There is nothing in the
northern portion of Mexico, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of parts of Tamaulipas.
to attract the immigration Of North
Americans. The barren region of Goa
hula, chihuahua and Sonora offer small
inducements to settlers. Even the best
parts of these States can only be made use
full cattle ranges, and these require but
limited population. The mines. however
rich they may prove to be, can only be
worked with costly apparatus, and the
Indians OF the country will supply every
demand for labor. In this situation there
Is nothing to bring about annexation. IF
the country We're rich, if it We're capable
of being settled by a dense agricultural
population, the case might be otherwise:
but as it now stands, there is nothing that
can make it an object for American poll
ticians to add Mexico or any part of it to
the United States.
OF course, the restless Yankee will
/ always have heavy interests in Mexico.
( No matter what losses may be incurred
/ the chances of successful mining or of
/ fortunate hits in other directions will
always suffice to charm due proportion

these gentlemen may produce, or how

Victorious in IA Couple of Affairs Tn

Victorious in a Couple of Affairs Tn
common TO the Code.
Baltimore Herald.
Old Put, of the Revolutionary army,
was the hero of two "affairs of honor"
The first grew out of a difficulty between
Putnam and a brother officer. in which
the latter assumed hostile attitude, and
demanded immediate satisfaction. Put
nam, at first, declined, on the ground
that their services belonged to their COun
try. and that it would be little less than
unpatrotic for them to jcopardize their
lives unnecessarily III times of war, but
ultimately concluded to meet his belli-
cosc brother officer according to usage"
SO they agreed to meet at daylight the
following morning without seconds. Is
raeI arrived first, armed with old gan
loaded with slugs. In a short time after
ward his antagonist put in an appearance.
armed with a sword and two pistols.
When the latter had arrived at within
about thirty yards of Putnam he was sa-
luted by a shot from the Generals mus
ket and instantly halted and cried out:
"What are you doing, sir ?-is this the
proper conduct of an American officer
and a gentleman of honor?" ''What
am I doing?" replied the old warrior,
coolly; "why, [ am defending my life
against man who wants to murder me.
And if you don't beat retreat in less
time than it takes old Heath to hang a
Tory, you are a gone dog" but, sir,
I" " Bang!" and away went Putnam's
musket again: and away went his antag-
onist at an O'Leary rate of speed, laugh
ing, himself, in spite of his anger and as
tOnishment.
Putnam's other affair" was with an
English officer, who was a prisoner on
parole; ard who, taking offense at the
General sent the latter a challenge,
pointed the Britisher appeared, and found
Putnam sitting on what seemed to be q
keg of powder. The latter at once salu-
ted his antagonist, and told him to sit
down with him on the keg; and Putnam
then set fire to a slow match, which ap-
parently communicated with the contents
of the barrel, and coolly said to his com
panion that the chances for them to be
blown into atoms were equal. The Brit
ish officer first glanced at Putnam, then
at the keg, and then at the slow match
the fire of which was approaching the
powder-and then jumped up and made
preparations for a hasty exit, during
which Putnam shouted, "You're Just
precisely as brave as 1 took you to be
but you needn't hurry, for there's moth
ing in this barrel but onions. I thought
I'd try you with onions frst-you don't
like the smell; ha, ha, ha you don't like
the smell!' But the punctilious advo-
cate of the code duello had genteelly

John Wesley a Dictionary Maker.
British Quarterly Review
One of the greatest names on the roll
of the eighteenth century is John Wes-
ley's: and it may still be news to many
who are familiar with his ever-memora-
bic achievements in other fields to learn
that he also made a journey along the
thOrny path of dictionary making. His
book was published anonymously in 1853,
under the somewhat ambitious title,
The Complete English Dictionary, Ex-
planning most of the Hard Words which
are Found in the best English Writers.
BY Lover of Good English and Com
mon Sense. n. B.-The Author assures
you that he thinks this is the best Eng
lish Dictionary in the World" Notwith-
standing this title, the book is simply a
barking back to the earlier type, viz, an
alphabetical list of words with explana-
tions. One or two samples may be given:
"a Methodist. one that lives according
to the method laid down in the Bible. "
"Calvinists, they that hold absolute, un-
conditional predestinatiOn," "A Puri-
tan, an old. strict Church of England
