A FEMALE BANDIT.
Unaided She Robbed a Stage, and
has Killed Many Men.

The death is Just announced of one OF
the most remarkable women that Mexi-
co has ever produced. Notwithstanding
her strange and perilous career, she at
tanned ripe old age, and became one
of the wealthiest women in the republic.
This woman was Sonora Amastia Rubio
de Pascadero. In her early womanhood
she devoted her time to robbery, and if
half the reports regarding her career are
true, it is no wonder that she left a large
fortune at her death. One of her nota-
bic exploits was a stage robbery in the
State of Zacatecas. One night she
dressed herself in mems clothing, and,
mounting horse, rode from San Anto-
Mo to the Zacatecas and Agues Calien-
ties stage road, where she waited in a
grove for the south bound stage to pass.
As the postillions came up she com
manded them with revolver in hand to
halt, put out their torches and fall to
the rear of athe-eeaeh, -whieh~w was q few
yards behind them. She then advanced
upon the driver and keeper, who were
made to dismount, expecting every mo-
ment to be shot from ambush, as she
kept saying, Don't shoot unless they
resist"
The passengers, eight in number, who
were inside the stage, were led to believe
from the female road agents talk, that
an armed party was in the brush, and
when she came up and demanded their
money, watches, and jewelry, they lost
no time in obeying her. She then babe
the passengers good night, and, after
admonishing them not to move within
half an hour, disappeared in the grove.
During her career she killed a great
many men, and for many years was a
terror to the people of Sinaloa, Jalisco
and Sonora. Government troops and
State troops chased her, but could never
entrap her. 1t was said that the reason
she gave for adopting such mode OF
life was the murder by Federal troops
of her intended husband years ago,
when she was in her teens. She then
made VOW that she would kill or ruin
five men for every year she lived She
was one of the most noted bandits Mex
leo ever produced, although she was
woman. Before her death she related
her strange history and bequeated her
Immense fortune to charities. At her
request she was buried beside her dead
lover in her native town, San Antonio.

Very Rich Gypsies.

The st. Louis Democrat says: / have
nave no doubt that 100000 of the
1,500,00 gypsies we now have among us
are what are known among the Romany
rs drom gypsies-that is, gypsies of the
road; gypsies whose heritage of patri-
arcal and pilgriming tradition will no
more permit them to herd in towns,
save out necessity, than it will foxes.
OF these, as l have previously stated in
print, L have names and addresses of
nearly 1000 heads of families, or petty
tribes, whose combined wealth exceeds
5000, 600, 900. Hosts aside from these
have gained or are securing little prop
critics. These largely consist of fine
farms, country tavern stands, toll gate
privileges, tracts of woodland of which
they are very fond, livery and sales
stables in the smaller towns and villages,
and, not infrequently, extensive town
properties, particularly the larger sales
in metropolitan cities. Thousands upon
thousands are able to live comfortably
without effort upon rentals and other
incomes. But they are never idle, and
they never fail of passing some portion
of each summer upon the road Their
tradings, or preparations fer trading,
never cease; nor does theii fortune tell
ing, for the wife of gypsy worth $780,
OO0-and L have the acquaintance of
more than one of these--will as nimbly
tell your fortune for silver as would the
wife of the most poverty stricken gypsy
tinker ever helped solder q pan or
patch kettle.

Professional Lamp Cleaners.

Two ladies, in reduced circumstances,
in Washington, d. c., are engaged to
go to houses where troublesome lamps
are used instead of gas, and to daily
clean, trim, and care for them. All
housekeepers find this work disagreed
bic, and servants cannot be trusted for
the work, and shades and chimneys are
frequently broken; and when the lamps
are lighted they smoke, because they
have not been intelhgently handled
The same persons who attend to the
lamps will dust the parlors, and keep all
the bric-a-b rack clean. These services
enable the housekeeper to dispense with
one servant, generally stupid, unrelia-
bic girl, who leaves by the time she has
learned to be useful, and the mistress
has all the trouble of teaching another
who is equally incompetent. BY avail
ing herself of the services offered the
mistress of the mansion is relieved of
the necessity of doing the work herself.
Now, what more unobjectionahle en-
plOyment could woman in need of
work ask for than such as I have men
tiOned2 Besides, there is a world of
possibilities in this sort of work, which
might lead to an enlargement of the du-
ties and supply long-felt want.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A Good Cow.


A gentleman connected with print
ing office remarked to us recently that
he would like us to assist him IN select
ing good mich COW. Many years ago
we put in scrap book the following
directions given by prominent dairy
man in Vermont. and they embody the
true rules of guidance: First, l get. a
broadside view OF the animal at dis
lance of about two rods, as | have no
ticed for years that there is a great
similarity in the general proportions OF Of
all first class mixers; being very small
in girth just back of their forward legs,
as compared with their girth just for
ward of their hips. have never known
first-rate mixer of any breed, not thus
proportioned. So, if this form is want.
ing in an animal l have recommended
to me, | do not care to look any more
at her, unless | want breeder for some
other purpose than the dairy. | next feel
the size of the milk veins, and trace
them to their entrance into the chest
which in superior cows are large, admit
ting the ball of the largest finger. Next
l examine by sight and touch the udder
or bag, which must be capaclous in order
to hold much milk, with teats wide
apart, and free from large sea warts or
sores of any kind; then inquire how
long she goes dry before calving, as |
don't want family COW to give milk
less than forty-six weeks out of tifty-two.
and to close | milk her with my own
hands. -ArEdnsdS Gazette.

Poultry Notes.

For lice, dust Persian insect powder
| freely In every crack and crevice, and on
the bodies of the hens, in among the
feathers.
For digestion give the birds plenty OF
sharp gravel, and also teaspoon.ul of
fenugreek, in the soft food, for every ten
hens.
About one-third of the weight of an
egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be aaId sss--1nSat. There are no
bones and tough places that have to be
laid aside
Turn eggs twice week if they are to
be kept for future use. Eggs for hatch
ing will keep two or three weeks if turned
half over daily. They should be in q
place of moderate temperature, where
they will not freeze or be too warm
Those who live on land where there is
no gravel or sand should haul load and
spread it about the poultry yards. The
fowls will en- 10y it as much as though it
was something good to eat, and in most
cases it twill do them more good. Don't
forget this, as the chickens can't talk and
don't know how to ask for what they
want.
Do not place one roost higher than the
other. When so arranged the hens will
all crowd to the highest, leaving the low
est ones unoccupied. The better plan is
to place them all on level of the same
height and very low. If too high the
heavy fowls will be injured in getting
on or off, as many cases of ''bumble foot'
occur from high roosts There is no
necessity for having the roost any higher
than simply to allow space under them
for the free circulation of air, which is
most essential to the well doing of the
flock.

EXTRAORDINARY FORGETFULNESS
A Man who was Too Busy to Re-
member that He Had just Been
Married.

A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the press of late purporting
to be a truthful account of a remarkable
case of Observation-Disclosures which made
a young man forget his wedding day.
A prominent civil engineer in this city
called attention to this floating para
graph yesterday, and said:
81 know of much more remarkable
case. It was not Observation-Disclosures
however, but an illustration of the Won
is possible in great emergencies.
Somewhere about 1857 Ed d. Mason.
assistant engineer ON the Wabash road,
went to Buffalo to be married. The
ceremony was performed at 10 o'clock in
the morning. While congratulations
were being extended, the newly-wedded
Benedict received telegram from his
chief in Toledo informing him that an
important truss bridge over river on
the line of the road had been burned,
and must be rebuilt Immediately. The
working plans could not be found, and
Mason was ordered home.
Gas the trains ran he could not reach
Toledo before the next morning. TAX
ing hasty adieu of the bride and the
wedding party, and promising to return
at 3 o'clock to partake of the wedding
dinner, he hurried to the office of an en-
gineer well known to him, who at once
placed the facilities of his office at Ma
sons disposal. By IL o'clock he was
hard at work. When o'clock came,
feeling faint and weary, he walked down
stairs mechanically, entered a neighbor-
ing restaurant that he had frequented
before, refreshed himself with a sand
wich AZ d a glass of beer, and returned
to his work.
"By five o'clock he had duplicated the
original plans of the bridge from mem
Dry, including exact measurements and
quantities, and telegraphed from To-
ledo. On this telegraphic plan the
bridge builders instantly set to work
and found it absolutely correct, even to
the minutest detail. 1t was most as
tonishing feat. But what is still more
astonishing is the fact that from the
moment Mason left his bride in the
morning until he had forwarded his
Geographic report he never recalled the
event of his marriage. When he went
out for his lunch he might Just as we'll
have gone to the wedding dinner, as
the distance was no greater, and ex-
cused himself without loss of time.
But his mind was so occupied in meet
ing the emergency, that no thought of
anything but the burned bridge could
gain entrance.
''In later years Mason was a colonel
in the army, a prominent member of
the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers, and left as monuments to his
skill the bridge over the Mississippi at
Hannibal and that over the Missouri at
st. Joseph. He died some fifteen years
ago. His widow is still living, and has
in my presence corroborated, so far as
she could, Col. Mason's account of his
wedding day experience" - Chicago

Business Expectations and Results.

! An old merchant tells this anecdote
illustrating the probability of business
sales:
j A young friend called the other day in
high glee. He was about concluding
arrangements with two others to en-
bark in the jobbing trade and was quite
sanguine in his expectation of results.
As / did not express full faith in his
anticipations he rather resented my
doubts. At my suggestion he took pen
and paper and put down, first of all, his
proposed expenses. I could see that
he had not done so before, as he seemed
startled to find that even at the moder-
ate estimate he had made the total ex-
penses for rent, clerk hire and living ex-
penses of the several partners amounted
to So, 200.
''Now for the amount of business, +"
said I.
.Oh, as to that, he replied, eve hope
to sell at least $500, 900 worth of goods q
year. !"
"But what amount of trade do all of
you represent? Make, now,a careful es-
innate of the business you can rely up
on with some degree of certainty. He
didso, and to his surprise it did not reach
$685. 900.
"Now, what profit can you average
upon that2"
After some debate it was fixed at sew
en- and a half per cent-$9 3S5.
"Now, what shall we call the losses?"
The latter we settled at two and a half
per cent. on sales, amounting to So, 125,
leaving the net income Sc, $50, or 81 $50
less than enough to pay the estimated
expenses. The young man left, propos-
ing to show the estimate to his associ-
ates, and after figuring while without
arriving at more satisfactory results they
abandoned the undertaking There is
no doubt that if all, when about to en-
bark in trade, would thus boldly look
at the figures instead of closing their
eyes and hoping for the best there would
be fewer failures among business men
and less complaint that Grade is over,

Improving the Orchard.

A correspondent who is anxious t.
know how to improve his orchard is an
swered as follows by the 1mtr. can Cufi
Gator: ''The orchard in question, as
stated by our cor respondent, is some
what run down in fertility, and he wishes
to know the best manurial elements to
use in reviving it. He believes with
proper treatment that, although now only
fairly productive, it can be made doubly
SO without injury to trees.
Our correspondent falls to state
whether the orchard in question is an
apple, peach or pear orchard, or whether
the trees are far enough apart to cult
vate between the rows. If an apple
orchard, and the trees are large, it will
not be best to run plough very near
them; but if the trees are from two to
three rods apart, strip may be ploughed
between each row and planted to some
hoed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with COMPOST, made largely of
good stable manure.
The space Immediately around the
trees not touGssa1ass by the plough should
be literally top dressed with well rotted
manure and unleached wood ashes.
There is probably nothing better for
orchards of any kind of fruit than hard
wood ashes. They should be spread
broadcast beneath the trees over a space
extending several feet from the trunk of
the tree, instead of placing them directly
around the base, as is sometimes done.
If it is not desirable or convenient to
cultivate any portion of the orchard it
can be renovated by liberal top dress
ing of we'll rotted stable manure. A
mulch of refuse hay placed around the
bodies of the trees will be found bene-
fetal, provided they are so large and the
bark so thick that mice will not girdle
them. Pasturing orchards with hogs is
an excellent method of improving their
fertilitys There is another advantage in
pasturing with hogs, as in addition to
enriching the soil they pick up the wind
falls and destroy the worms, which cause
great loss of fruit every year.
