Robbery by MexIcans.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 23.-Intelli- gence reache here last evening from Hldalgo county that band consisting of eight robbers, crossed over from Mexico few days ago and raided Penmo's ranch in that county. The raid was made in open day. Carlos Schunaor, the proprietor, and his clerk, made a stout resistence, but both were shot down. Schunaor was fatally wounded and will die. His clerk lies in a very critical condition, with small hopes of recovery. Having disposed of the oc. cupants of the ranch and store, the thie- yes leisurely proceeded to raid the premises, and carried away money and valuables amounting to $2,8oo, besides a number of horses. None of the perpe- trators were apprehended.

President Eliot's Curiosity.

President Eliot. of Harvard College, is man of marked ability as an executive officer. He is weak on the scholarly side. His communication to the world that General Grant had never heard of Oliver Twist reminds me of a rattling good story on himself, the authenticity of which 1 can vouch for.
 When Bonamy Price, professor of po- litical economy at Oxford, was being en- tertained in Cambridge, Price and Eliot were thrown together at dinner. Bonamy, who was an intolerable bore. and on his old hobby, "The Basis of Civilization, What Was It?' loudly de- clared that the only one who had suc- cessfully answered the question was a young girl-of Cambridge, Eng. So that l may arouse no unnecessary curi- osity, let me say at once the answer to Professor Prices conundrum was simply this: Progressive Desire" But valu- able or not, Price did not choose to divulge the wonderful answer on the occasion in question. He merely pro- pounded it as something every one should know. The Boston men laughed uneaSllY, aS II tO say, 'oH, yes, we hhoW it." and the subject of conversation sud- denly changed.
 The next day President Eliot sought out Price, and, after little converse ton, began in an embarrassed way to broach something.
 Professor Price, was much interest ed in the turn the conversation took last evening""
 No answer from Price except slight raising of the eyebrows.
 "You spoke, believe, of young lady, who, who"
 A downward look from Price.
 "Who successfully answered the ques- ton, What was the true basis of civiliza- tionp'
 Price nodded in the affirmative.
 ''I forgot to ask you about it at the time," continued Eliot in the agony of his literary pride, but I have been haunted by the idea all night. Would you mind telling me what is the true basis of civilizationp"
 No, sir" answered Bonamy prompt ly, find it out for yourselfp Fran CISCO Ingleside.

Talk on the Silver Question.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Yesterday the house met in a committee of the whole for the purpose of giving Representative Symes the hoof for his talk on the silver question. His speech was most ella boratc and effective argument in favor of silver and a most able and fitting SUD- plement to Senator Teller's previous ef- fort, and one to which the members of the house paid marked and particular attention. Upon the completion of his splendid effort, Symes was the exposure of all eyes, and his colleagues soon sur rounded him and showered upon him the congratulations of the happy effect produced by his eloquence. It is con. sidered impossible for the supporters of the silver question to lose anything, even if they should gain nothing, for there is

T. F. White, Joseph Pascholy, T. F. Hudson and Jacob Everhardy, of Tomb stone, and E. o. Mcclure, of Charleston, took their departure yesterday for Ben son. The above gentlemen are delegates from the Tombstone Stock association, and go to Benson to meet the delegates from the Tres Alamos and Willcox asso- citations. The object of the meeting of these three stock delegations is to for mulate plans and make provisions against the stealing of their cattle, which is car. ried on quite extensively at present in this county. The associations have en- gagged Messrs. Goodrich & Smith, for the purpose of prosecuting any parties i'm plicated in that business. The EPITApH wishes the committee every success in their worthy undertaking.

Down on Ross ,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The nomina- ton now pending in the senate, against which the most formidable opposition is made, is that of Edmund Ross, to be governor of New Mexico, and the papers that have been filled with the commis- sioner on territories, contain almost every charge that could possible be brought against man. The official acts of Ross, since he became governor, are reviewed in great detail, and he is charged with doing almost everything that a governor should not do. His per sonal and official life both, are attacked, and it is believed that his nomination will be reflected.

Especial Dispatch to the EPIrAPH.l
 Los ANGELES, January g. - The damage to the city and county of Los Angeles is estimated at S5oo,ooo. The loss to the Southern Pacific railroad alone will be S25o,ooo. Five lives are reported lost.
 The track ofthe California southern, through the deep cut in Fl Cajon pass, is reported to be covered lhrty-feet deep by rock and earth, from land slides.
 Wires are down in every direction and the low country along the railroad being under water, repairs cannot be made for some time.
 The San Gabriel river is still rising and worse is expected to come.
 Several miles of road bed are carried away between Newhall and Alpine sta- tion and the water was too powerful to permit track repairing to proceed.
 The gathering of the orange crop is delayed as the fruit cannot be shipped wet. Thousands of acres of vineyards and orchards are covered with the debris of houses, etc., that have been swept away.
 Two hundred acres of farming land was swept away from the San Feliz ranch, including fifty acres of alfalfa, just ready for the scythe. All the eight bridges over the river are more or less demoraliIed. A large portion of the city is rendered unhealthy for the coming summer, by reason of the soil.being so soaked with water.

We have many times called attentio

We have many times called attention to the fact that Cochise county's resour- ces are not confined to the mining in- dustry. A glance at the Sulphur Spring valley will convince any skeptic of the truth of this assertion. This valley con- tains, at the present time, 74,ooo head of graded stock cattle, equal to any that can be found in America. It is situated only fifteen miles east of the city of Tombstone, extending from the Aravaipa canyon, on the north, to the line of Sonora, on the south, distance of a hundred miles, with an average width of twenty miles. Five years ago, there were not more than I2,ooo head of cattle and ten settlers in the whole valley. This wonderful increase has been made, notwithstanding the fact that the Apa- ches have raided the section every year or two, murdering settlers and pillaging their homes. The hardy ranchmen who have stood their ground during these troublous times, are beginning to reap the reward of their valor and find themselves rapidly growing wealthy. As soon as the Indian question is de- finitely settled, this wonderfully rich sec ton will come to the front with bound and Cochise's claim to be called the banner cattle country of the southwest will no longer be disputed.

no doubt that bi-metalism is impress ing itself upon the public at large, as having large bearing upon every in. dustry, and this intelligent appreciation is lifting their opinions on this question out of the narrow groove in which they have been permitted to run by the false arguments thrown out by the gold bugs papers which have hitherto been used to form opinions for the public to order. Monometalists have for some time been in the habit of claiming that all the re- cent agitation of this important question has been solely for the benefit of the pro- ducers of silver, for reasons variously stated, and that its only effect was to in- crease the value of the mines from the ores of which the silver was produced, while the expense of its production had to rest upon the taxpayers of the country and for Its commercial interests. This fiction has at last been exp loded, and if the real importance of the issue is gra- dually becoming better understood con. verts are being proselyted every day.

Victoria on British Affairs.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Queen Victoria in that portion of her speech devoted to in- ternal affeirs, said: "I regret to say no material improvement can be noticed in the condition of trade or agriculture. l feel the deepest sympathy for the many persons in those vacations of life, and who are suffering under pressure which l hope will prove transient. have seen with great sorrow the renewal of the att tempt to excite the people of Ireland to hostilities against the legislative union between that country and Great Britain am resolutely opposed to any distur- bance of that fundamental law, and in resisting it am convinced that I shall be heartily supported by my parliament and by my people. The social, no less than the material condition of that coun- try engages my anxious attention. Al. though, there has been during the last year, no marked increase of serious crime, there is in many places concerted resistance to the enforcement of legal obligations, and regret that the practice of organized intimidation continues to ex- ist. l have caused every exertion to be used for the punishment of these crimes, and no effort will be spared on the part of my government to protect my subjects in the exercise of their legal rights and the enjoyment of individual liberties.

of more heinous character than any that
marked the rule of the Tweed ring will be
