The following item, purporting to be Il
dispatch from Ell Paso, Texas, under date
of the 18th inst, is going the rounds OF
the press:
Senior Patricio Gomez del Campo, one of
the wealthiest land owners of the State of
Chihuahua, is at present in Ell Paso. He
recently sold n large tract of land in the
canton of Galena to the Mormons, and
at present ,nS is engaged +b in %rrangng
people. Thcre is no doubt that the Nor
mons are still having their eye upon
Chihuahua, and perhaps Sonora. If the
present crusade of the United States Gov
ernment against Mormonism continues, it is
more than probable that the larger portion
of the Saints will find their way into some
of the outlaying States of Mexico. The
pending land sale will be consummated in
few days. unless the character of the APP
pointment which fills the vacancy in the
gubernatorial chair of Utah should change
the present aspect of affairs.
There is an impression here that the
polygamous element of Mormondom may
conclude to remove hence to Mexico,
and that impression is founded largely on
the fact that agents OF the Church have
been down there viewing "the land
scape o'er." The law-abding portion OF
the people here would be only too
glad to thus get rid OF the
troublesome polygamists and the evils
attendant upon their unlawful practices,
and to that end they are willing that the
two per cent" should leave the country
for the country's good, since such it
would prove to be. But ii, as this dis
patch indicates, the Saints imagine for
one moment that the President is going
to send to Utah Governor and other
officers who will play into their hands SO
as to render the emigration OF polygamists
less necessary than it appears to be at
/ present, the sooner they disabuse their
minds OF such an idea the better will it
be for them, No matter who the Pres-
dent may send as Governor to Utah, the
laws against polygamy and unlawful
cohabitation will continue to be vigorously
enforced, and that is just as certain as
that the sun will shine tomorrow.

where the shoe string came from he could
not say, as there was no lost shoe-strine
corresponding with that on the person Of
the girl. 1t being clearly shown that the
piece of shoe-string did not come out of the
shoes of the dead girl, the general impres
sion was at the time that it was used by
her in tying up her hair. There was no
thing to clearly establish this, and hence a
mystery surrounded the little piece of shoe
string.
A recent investigation has resulted il
finding out wnere the shoe-string came
from aud for what purpose it was used
Police Justice Richardson, who took very
active part in working up the case, made
this investigation in company with Com
month s-Attorney Witt. The Police Jus
tice, having given the matter in relation to
the shoe-string much thought, he recently
came to the conclusion that the string was
not used by the dead girl for tying her
shoe, nor in tying up her hair. The idea
struck him that the shoe-string came of
the hat which was found in the dead-heuse
Gear the small pox hospital by Policeman
Saunders. In order to satisfy himself in
this respect, the Police Justice and Mr..
Witt recently made an examination of the
hat, which is now in the Office of the City
Sergeant along with the trunk and other
effects of the murdered girl.
The examination revealed these facts:
The little piece of shoe-string had in it
small punctures evidently made by a hat
pin, and on the hat was discovered a small
spot which upon close examination showed
that string or little piece of cloth of
some sort had been sewed to the hat as
there were also punctures at this spot in
dicating that the string or cloth had been
sewed TO the hat and had been broken or
pulled off.
In giving in their testimony at the time
Policemen Saunders and Walton testified
that they found the hat on Tuesday, the
17th of March, between 4 and o'clock in
the afternoon; that the hat was lying on the
floor about the centre of the Dead House,
crown upwards; that there was some red
lint or wool on the hat and some sand in it;
and a little spot of mud on the top; most of
the sand was inside of the lining, and fell
out as Mr.. Saunders turned it UP to see if
there was any name inside. The solution
of the mystery of the shoe-string is but an
other strong circumstance in opposition to
the flimsy theory of suicide.

New Thought for the New Year.

The new year ought to mean new thought
If the old has been oppressive. The new
years resolve has something of the divinity
in it, early and often as it ts broken. Even
the resolve TO break off some old habit is a
stride forward, step upward. Every re-
form, every upbuilding must have its origin
in new thought. A thought lies behind
every action.
In making new resolves. nothing is more
necessary than to cultivate the art OF for
getting. The reason some people are
chronically wretched is because, ifthey had
a sorrow, burden or disgrace, they are
forever thinking about it, and so forever re-
naming conscious of it. They cary it In
their mind, which is really keeping it alive
all the time. Did they but know it, the
world would seon forget it If they would
allow it to. If they would throw it out of
their mind and compel it to stay out it
would cease to exist. No human soul
ever grew upward who nursed his former
blupders, failures and sins in his mind.
How can forget my woes?" says one.
s"They inhabit my mind necessarily, and
can't get a minutes respite from their ter.
ture.'' Yes, you can. Bring into your
mind new, fresh, good thought and the old,

"To learn to forget is as necessary and
useful as to learn to remember. We think
Of many things every day which it would be
more profitable not to think Of at all. TIE
be able to forget is to be able to drive away
the unseen force {thought) which is injur-
ing us, and change it for a force Tor order
of theught) to benefit US. To-day thousands
on thousands never think of controlling the
character Of their thought. They allow
their minds to drift. They never say of a
thought that is troubling them, Il won't
think ofit.' Uneonsciously, then, they de-
mand what works them ill, and their bodies
are made sick by the kind of thought which
they allow their minds to fasteu on. An
ugly or melancholy mood of mind is devil.
1t can make US sick, lose us friends and lose
US money"
So the resolves that abound on New
Year morning are wise and well. They
are the beginning of good action. They
may fall into ruins before the day il out,
but having once catered the mind they will
come back again if encouraged G. G.

Care of Children.

A writsr in Babyhood says: "The man
agement Of the diet of children of from one
to three years of age is q matter the impor-
tance of which can hardly be exaggerated.
This is particularly the case If children are
weaned at one year of age or thereabouts,
as is much more commonly done now tnaR
formerly The secret of success in this
matter is to make the diet an exceedingly
simple one. Though it is often necessary
to vary the diet of young children, yet 1t Is
likely that mothers more frequently err IN
giving too great variety OF 1000 10 sucn
Young children than in continlng them TO
too simple food. By the time children are
| a ysar old they can generally take undi.u-
ted cows milk, and if they are weaned at
this period milk should constitute much
the largest part of their diet. Of course, it
will be proper to give little bread or bis
euit. and many children will eat milk and
toast, sofU-boiled egg, or bread and gravy,
| or a little soup. Potato, or rice with but
ter, may also with advantage be given, but
beyond these and similar simple articles Of
diet it is not we'll to go. This range of diet
NAV seem to many very wide, but of course
only one, or at most two, of the articles sug-
gested be given at any one time. Many in
| fants show not only no desire, but even
sositive dislike, for all sorts of fleshfeod
until they are two or more years of age, but
will drink milk, taking between one and
two quarts daily, and continuing fat and
growing from day to day. This, in '"y
opinion, should be a cause for tongratula-
ton to the mother, ard not Of distress, for
often they are very healthy children who
show no desire for meat until after the teeth
ing process has been completed. Soon 1t
becomes time, at ANY period between nine
and eighteen months, to give some finely
cut meat-a chop, or piece of steak or roast
beef or chicken. Fruit suits many children
after eighteen months, or better still after
they are two years old, but care should al
ways be taken that it is ripe. and that they
are not given it in very large quantities.
From these simpler articles of diet no de-
parturs should be made until child is
about three years of age, and it is in the
giving of only very simple feed that lies the
secret of success in bringing up chlldren.-
Until a child is three years of age his even
ing meal IN particular should be of the
plainest description; the best results will be
had if nothing is given at night but bread
and butter and milk. Breakfast, too,
should be a plain meal, consisting OF milk
and bread and butter alone, until an infant
is twelve or fourteen months old, and then
a soft boiled egg or chop may be added.
4 At the midday meal should be given the
meat and vegetables.
