1TN NTSo strange city of the
vi Nm ~ cave dwellers is al
most exactly like some of those in New
Mexico and other Territories which
arch8eologists have explored. The dwell
Gngs were dug out of the solid rock, and
many of them are over 200 feet above
The bottom of the valley. The face OF
the cliff is in places perpendicular, and
it is believed that the troglOdytes could
have reached their dwellings only with
the aid of rope ladders. Some of the
dwellings, contain three rooms, the
largest of which is about II by Z
teet, and the walls of the larger rooms
are generally pierced by windows.
Nothing is known as to who these cave
jewellers were.
JOHN I. SOUTH was married the other
day to Barbara BALI, as the latter lay, as
it was thought, near to death from a
wound from the pistol of former lover.
This was in San Francisco. South said
TO a reporter who asked about the we'd
ding: 81 don't see anything so very re
markable about it. 1 have been living
with her for eight years as her husband,
and when she was shot and the doctors
said that she could not possibly live
wanted to marry her, and thus do what
[ ought to have done long ago. /
thought it would kinder square up my
account with heaven" Barbara, who
seemed supremely happy when the mar
riage took place, at once rallied, and,
much to the surprise of the doctors, and
perhaps to her husband, is getting well.
IT is reported that two American art
lists, Messrs. Strong and Tavernier, are
practically held as prisoners for debt in
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t seems that
they did some work for the government
and that the administration, which is to
manner born, refused to pay them;
whereupon they were compelled to de-
fault on their board bills, and when
they tried to return home to earn money
to pay their debts they were refused
permission to embark. In Hawaii, it
appears, the writ of ne exeat is in full
force and vigor; when a man cannot
pay his debts they deprive him of the
means of ever paying them by keeping
him a prisoner in a land where the
laborer is not worthy of his hire.
JAMES STEWART, near Gainesville,
Ga, who is described as q every good |
man and very well thought Of and who
''has most elegant lady for wife, "
was stopped in the street by Ben and
David Crane, who charged him with
having insulted their sister. David
pointed o double-barrelled shotgun at
Stewart and told him to halt, adding:
Lay it on, Ben" Ben, who had a big
whip, did lay it on, and, as one of the
,rowd that assembled said, the whip
tracked like a bunch of frecrackers.
Stewart stood still until Ben ceased from
,ure fatigue, and then he ran, crying.
The local paper says that the ''Crane ,
'oys are very nice young men, who be-
ore the whipping consulted lawyer"

IT is said that when Bernhardt was
tudying for play in which she had to

wards. At last, one after

urned out by any shop in the same
