GEN. MILES URGES THE STRENGTHENING OF
THE POSTS ON THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
A dispatch from Fort Bowie, Arizona, April

to-day concerning the unprotected condition of
the national boundary, and advising an appro-
priation by Congress of 100000 to improve
and strengthen the present posts and establish
new ones The present posts along the line are
entirely Inadequate to protect Arizona and New

Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years Without
Going to Bed.

Mr.. EDITOR While spending few
days AT the pleasant seaside town of
AberystwHh, ardiganshire, Wales, |
heard related what seemed to me either
a fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was thai poor sufferer who
had not been able TO lie down in bed for
six long years, given up TO die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
of the report
Having a little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, took
the liberty while at the village of Liam.
rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
gEciously entertained me in half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of MIR. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take deep and sympathetic
sutferings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them most remarkable cure.
The Vicar remarked that he presumed
his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pughs
character as respectable farmer and
worthy of credit, left the venera BILE
Vicar with a livelicr sense of tie happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body.
or estate.
On my return to Abery stwith, was
impressed with IL desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called -Mawr, signifying
"above the dingle," situated near the
summit of smooth round hill, over.
looking a beautiful valley in which is
situated the lovely ivymantled Church
of Llanddeinol. | found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old of medium
height, rather slight, with Il pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him had heard
of his great atfliction and of his remark
able and almost miraculous relief, and
that l had come to learn from his own
lips, what there was of truth in the Re.
ports.

WHY WOMEN READ NEWSPAPERS.

A man who has started a number
of papers and who is keen on all
newspaper subjects told me the other
day that he had at last hit upon a
highly valuable scheme,
81 have ascertained through a
careful series of observations" he
said, "that women who read news
papers'are interested in four sub
jects-scandals, marriages, deaths
and etiquette. Take any women in
town and toss a paper in her lap
while she is working on 'splasher'
depicting the everlasting 'Three
Little Maids or is engaged in
some equally absorbing work, and
what does she do? First she glances
along the headlines until she comes
to the Victoria Morosini episode.
She at once drops her work, taps her
teeth meditatively with her thimble,
and wades through every word of
the report. The moral she draws
from the story is usually that she
doesn't see why SO much fuss is
made about that Morosini creature,
whom she saw one night on the
stage of the Casino and found to be
as awkward as a COW. Then she
stops abruptly and skins over the
paper till she finds the column
headed deaths. Here she revels
for long while, wondering if the
Johnson who has just died is any
relation to the johnson who boarded
at the second farm house down the
turnpike near the crossroads from
where she spent the summer in Con-
necticut four years ago. After
arguing this over for some time,
and settling it positively one way OF
the other, she goes on to the next
name. If she discovers the death
of a child she divines at once that
it was scarlet fever, and decides Ia
have the doctor look at that rash on
Lucy's neck the instant she returns
from school. Then she comes tC
the marriage column. Did you ever
see anything more amusing thar
the absorption of the woman over
the marriages? An earthquake
wouldn't disturb her. She invests
every couple with the romance OF
her own courtship, and goes off into

A SCENE IN COURT,

During the dissemination of
Professor II. b. Allen on the trial of
Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor at the Crimi-
nal Court on Monday, Mr.. Justice
Holroyd took occasion to call in
question the manner in which Mr..
Purves, Q. c., who was the leading
counsel for the defence, was con-
Quoting it. Mrs. Taylor was
charged with having by malpractice
caused the death of Miss Julia War
burton, and Professor Allen, who
had made the post morton examina-
ton on the body of the deceased,
was examined to prove that the
death was caused by violence. In
cross-examination Mr.. Purves at
tempted to show that the witness
had no practical experience in the
subjects on which he gave evidence,
and in reference to one answer that
the witness gave, said, "Wherc did
you pick up that knowledge?" and
the witness replied, "From the
works of standard authors Mr..
Purves-'We read the same works,
and have the SAME means of OBJ
tanning knowledge" Professor Al
len-.'You are quite at liberty to
say so, but the difference is that
you read the books, but you don't
understand them" Mr.. Purves-
$50 you say, but l suppose you are
just as capable of saying that as you
are of writing impertinent letters to
your superiors. Mr.. Justice Hol-
royd said that was grossly inso-
lent remark to make to the witness.
Mr.. Purves-"Your Honor did not
hear what the witness said; if you
did. l am at loss to understand
your Honor's remarks Mr.. JUS
tice Holroyd.-"Iou have exhibited
great impertinence towards the wit
ness" Mr.. Purves-''If so, your
Honor should stop it," Mr.. JUS
tice Holroyd-'I will stop it,"
Mr.. Purves-"I shall ask such
questions as l think proper; but
when Your Honor stops me l shall
desist." Mr.. Justice Holroyd-
"You have insinuated that the wit
ness was improperly employed to
conduct the examination, and that
he knows nothing about his business.
You have asked most illegitimate
questions and you reflect on me for
interfering" Mr.. Purves-"Then
Your Honor has a most singular
mind. Of course it is my business
to break down the witness, and l
have endeavored to do so. l have
not reflected on Your Honor, and if
Your Honor is under such mis-
apprehension l am quite prepared
to pass over your other remarks"
Mr.. Justice Holroyd-'I say that
you are grossly impertinent and
insplent." Mr.. Purves-That is a
matter of opinion. 1t is my hounden
duty to ask such questions as l
think proper, and to conduct my
case in my own way" Mr.. JUS
tice Holroyd-''I am quite aware of
that, and l am not afraid of you,
Mr.. Purves." Mr.. Purves-"And,
thank God, I am not afraid of Your
Honor" Mr.. Justice Holroyd-
"You have been grossly insolent to
the witness, and / shall stop it,"
Mr.. Purves-"four Honor can do
what you pleae, but have con-
Quoted cases before judges quite
equal in ability to Your Honor, and
have asked questions of the same
kind" The cross-examination as
to the details of the post morton
was then proceeded with without
any dispute.

The DEMOCRACY Of Texas with all their
faults are not nearly so bad as they paint
themselves. The great body Of their
press articles, in so far rs they relate to
the candidates of the party before the
Galveston convention, are written, not
to inform the people, but to manufac-
ture candidate CAPITAL. The candidates
that have been thus DETAINED can not be
as utterly depraved as they have been
painted by the party sheets OF the other
candidate, else Texas would have re-
pudiated them long ago. The record Of
the democratic party in Texas is suffi-
GENTLY Objectionable without accepting
as fact over ten per cent. of what is
asserted in the recklessly personal
journalism of this gubernatorial cam
psign. The defamation and crimina-
tion INDUCED in is almost solely for the
purpose of creating doubt in the mind
Of simple delegates that can be played
upon with effect In the convention.

THE DECENT journals OF the democratic
persuatiOn In Texas are leading sue
cessful revolt against the insulting as
sumptiOns OF those who assume to carry
the votes OF hundreds OF their fellow oiti-
zens In their breeohes pockets. There
are politicians in this city Of nearly all
stripes, democratically, who make this
claim. Some OF them ayOw that they
carry the Mexican vote In hand, and can
herd the hundreds OF Mexican votes into
any candidates corral; Others affirm
that as knights Of Labor they have a
lien on the workingmen's vote, and that
their influence as leading Knights OF La
Dor is worth big money to any candidate
for political place in Bexsr county.
There is no doubt but that these assump-
tions will be put forth for all they are
worth at the approaching elections, and
In the nominating conventions yet to be
held but the success Of such maneuvres
is by no means assured. The working
men Of San Antonio have become thor
oughly alarmed and justly indignant at
this covert thrust against their manhood
and intelligence, and, while not unmind-
ful OF the traitors who would betray
them, are preparing to read them les
son that will be more wholesome than
palatable. The Mexicans are growing
uneasy under the yoke Of political task
mastership, and their bosses will find
them far from docile at the polls. The
reaction has come, not fully, but the
the symptoms are encouraging, and
Mexicans and workingmen Of San An
tonic may be found to do their own vot-
ing this election.

SOME FOLKS are easily satisfied. The
Beeville Bee rises to remark concerning
the inertness Of the democratic admins
tration at Washington in the matter of
Mexican outrages, that, "the determined
action Of the government is very crafty
ing to the people Of Western Texas, as
they have had considerable mistreat-
ment at the hands Of Mexicans while
across the Rio Grande heretofore" IL
this was Intended as nice bit OF sar-
oasm by the Bee the sting would be
perceptible, but, written as It is In sober,
earnest, one wonders wherein the "de-
termined action Of the government" in
this Cutting case lies, unless II be the
determination to do nothing. 1t &C
tually does look as though the demo-
cratic powers at Washington had be-
come 80 thoroughly possessed of the
democratic doctrine OF states rights
that they have left 1t to Texas, as a
state, to resent the outrages perpetrated
upon her citizens by foreign power.
II that ia the construction to be put
upon the cowardly supineness Of the
NATIONAL government under democratic
rule, let Texas know 1t and IL will not
be long before she will make her rights
respected along the border.

The action of the students at the.
Michigan Agricultural college is most
heartily to be commended. The expul-
sion OF student because he refuses to
divulge what he knows concerning the
actions Of his fellow-students, is unjusti-
fable. There is no claim that any other
offence was committed by the particular
member Of the junior class who was ex-
PEELED than this he was aware Of GER
tain transactions OF college students
which he refused to diyulge. The fac
ulty had no claim upon that knowledge.
To expel him was an injustice. The &C
ton Of the students in sustaining him
against the arbitrary decree Of the fac
ulty was commendable. II the college
classes are broken up in consequence
the faculty alone will be to blame.

turn out SO or SO convince him that 1t
will turn out as he wishes? Is belief q
