 ED. CITIzES:-I have seen reproduc ed by various papers of the Am-ricai press, some telegrams dated at NUgales. containing fal.e statements relating to the trip lately made by Gov. Torres r. Moctezuma. There was in that dIstric man by ths name of Gaadalup, Velsrde, who succeeded m forming A quartette of high say men that for some tune interrupted the peaceful aud la Oorious life of the inhabitants, Carry ing their audacIty and bal iness to the yery iegree of villainously asssssinaiiug Prefect Jose Maria Torres, who Wa, never guilty but of his willingness [, aUpesse their ousrrelsome instincts and to make them reenter the path of hon esty and labor.
 Now, Governor Torres, finding him self released of the manifold attention impo- cd to the government by it's cJ- Operation iu the Apache csmpsin, since US successful accomplishment by GeU Miles and his brave troops, Gov. Torre- resolved to go himself tO the theater of disturbances and end them at once II possible
 On arriving at Moctezuma he received call from Dr. Lpre,o Trujillo,a & resi- oent of Sahusripa, who told hin tha, Nelsrde was ID that town. recruiting fol- lowers to his band, and offered to appre- bend thS- rebel if only a written s-as, ~as gwen toS hlm Ia that effsch by the governor.
 The order was given Gs asked for, and rruIillo made h's word good, making the bandit hIs prisoner through regu lar detective trI k, aEd according to the law on highvAymen, issued by The ms tional clngr. ss on last May, V-larde was imprisoned and four or five day, aiterwards, D being identified was sum T arily judged according to the law re [, rred to.
 Such are the facts which have civ- rn rIse to the dus.-c!Oud kicked up by the correspondent of Noeales; and aa su 'h species as those become exsggerst- ed, they contribute 10 maintain Amnt Q the American Teople the idea that ve i've Iu M xicO in s constant atmosphere of troubles and revolutions.

New PeppernInu H Raised.

Along the banks of Ganargua river,
 which flows through the southern portion
 of Wayne county, may be seen at this
 season of the year large fields of green
 solored plants about eight inches in night
 extending over an extensive area To a
 botanist mentha peperita is the name by
 which tt is known, but to the world in
 general IL Is peppermint. In this compara-
 lively small area seven-eighths of all the
 peppermint in the world is raised The
 low. mucky land. is plowed in the spring
 IL IS then laid of in furrows eighteen inches apart, and sets. portions of old
 plants, are planted closely together in the row. This IS done early in April The roots are transplanted every other year. lt takes about eight square rods of roots as they le upon the ground to plant an acre. The roots that are planted this after the crop Is gathered. will bs trans planted in every other row for next year's crop. The first years crop is always the best, because the plant is then the freest from weeds. Usually they are allowed to run only two years after which the ground Is piowed under. When the plants have grown 10 about two and one-half feet in night they ripen.
 The harvest begins usually in the last Of August IL is cut like clover, with a cradle. and raked into cocks, when it is allowed to wilt little before it is taken to the distillery. The process of distiIla- ton continues 10 the last of October. The plant IS brought from the fields in large wagons and tightly packed in steam tight vats. The steam is let into the bot tom of the vat, and the oil from the plants thus volitalized. The oily vapor and steam pass through a condensing | worm into a receiver, where the oil, be. l ing lighter than water, is dipped off and is then put in tin cans holding twenty | pounds and taken 10 the refinery, where | IL is refined and put into twenty-one ounce bottles in case, labeled and shipped to all parts of the civilized world.-Cor.

And softly asks: Does you know Godr'

CHEAP CHLOROFORM.


Discovery Whlch PROMISES TO, RoVoiu-
tionize the Trade in the Near Future.
Scientists have for long time been
engaged in endeavoring to discover
some method by means Of which the
cost of the production of chloroform
could be reduced and at the same time
the quality be improved. An Albany
chemist claims the credit of discovering
such process. Under the present
method of production chloroform is
made from grain alcohol, and, us proof
alcohol is worth from ninety cents up
ward per gallon, chloroform can not be
made so as to sell with profit at less
than ninety cents per pound. More
over, the article produced contains
many impurities. The new method
changes all this, and, in fact, revolu-
tonnes the whole chlorOform trade.
already the cost of chloroform is less
ened one-quarter. Wood is decom-
posed at high temperature, and from
the proper chemical treatment of
the products of the decomposed
wood other products are secured
from which the chloroform is
obtained. A residuum matter is also
obtained which yields acetic acid, or
purified acetates. In the manufacture
of chloroform by this method one hun
dred pounds of crude acetate of lime
is placed in Il suitable vessel and SUBJ
iected to dry distillation at a temper
allure of three hundred degrees to five
hundred degrees Celsius, until volatile
products are no longer condensed.
! The result is about thirty-two pounds
| of liquid, three-fourths of which is
| of an aqueous nature, while the other
fourth forms top stratum OF an oily
| liquid. The aqueous liquid, which is
rich in chloroform- yielding agents, is
then removed as ready for use. The
oily liquid is subjected to fractional
distillation, or, perhaps, by washin g
with tepid water, and the result ting
aqueous liquid is added to that already
removed; thus the greater part of the
chloroform-producing agents contained
in the crude acetates is obtained. In
order to produce chloroform from this
aqueous liquid quantity, say nine
| pounds, is mixed with about forty
pounds of chloride of lime, or some
other hyperchlorate, and about fifteen
gallons of water. The whole is then
distilled in the usual manner for the
production of crude chloroform. From
these nine pounds of liquid from four
to five pounds of the crude chloroform
is obtained. Albany IN. ~ Cor. BoS-
