The BIO GRANOE TROUBLE.

AUSTIN, Tex. Sept 27-From various
letters and kilograms received by the gov.
ernor on the subject, it appears that the
trouble at Rio Grande City has been brew
ing for a long time Sheriff Shelby some
time ago in the course of his official duty,
came in conflict with the Mexicans, who
comprise large portion of the population
The opposition to Shelby in the race for
the Office of sheriff worked on the race
preiudices of the base element among the
Mexicans. This opposition was infiamed
by the revolutionary element on the other
side of the river, anxious for trouble or
war, and ready for an uprising at any
time.
Editor Cara, who prints paper at Cor
pus Christi, took sides against Shelby, and
when the latter's deputy in the course OF
official duty was compelled to kill a
Mexican, Cara published ibels against
him. For this Deputy Seebree had
Cara indicted for libel. The feud
between these two resulted in a threat
and upon their meeting on the streets Of
Rio Grande city both opened fire. Seebree
escaped unframed to Fort Ringgold, where
he was protected from the Mexican rioters
who in the meantime took possession OF
the streets in the town. Col. Clendenning,
commander of Fort Ringgold, had to
stand off 200 armed Mexicans with 80
armed men, with the Mexican crowd
are two Americans who are said to have
been working them up to the fighting
point in order to run the Shelby party out
of the country. One OF these men, it is
presumed, has telegraphed to the governor
that the town is quiet and in no need of
rangers and the governor has been misin-
formed about the situation. The federal
forces will occupy and protect the town
until the state rangers arrive.

Bicycles for Engiish Soldiers.

The bicycle force that has been organ
lied In connection with the English vol
unteers recently had its second held ma
neuvers, the first having been held at
Easter. Rainy and disagreeable weather
embarrassed the troops on each Of these
dates. but the result of the turnout has
been very satisfactory. On the recen.
trials the men covered about 100 miles in
forty eight hours, fighting, scouting and
camping by the way There were seven
teen officers and seventy-seven men out,
made up Of representatives Of number
of the leading volunteer regiments.
The force was divided into two bodies,
one retreating and the other following it.
At frequent intervals the retreating force
made stands at bridges and other eligible
points of defense, and the pursuers were
compelled to halt, dismoant, send out a
skirnish line and perform all the other
preliminaries of attack. as though in
active war. It was found that two or
three men left behind by the retreating
body could make q show Of force at a
bridge that would greasly delay the ad
vance of pursuing force. and then could
mount and swiftly ride away under cover
of hedge and escape to the main body.
This ability to fight and run away with
greater facility than the ordinary infan-
tryman is one Of the chief points urged
by the bicyclers In favor of the new
"arm." 1t Is said that scouting and re-
connoitering parties mounted upon bicy-
cles could do much more effective work
without risk of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuvers, although @he re-
treating force numbered but three officers
and twelve men, they succeeded in delay
ing the pursuers so that it took them
three hours to cover distance easily
made il less than two when no obstacles
are interposed. Three Of tho retreating
force dallied too long at bridge, and
were ridden down and captured by a de-
other losses. The chief difficulty expert
enced was due to the number of parallel
roads occasionally converging that ran
through the country traversed. The re-
treating party had to keep scouts con-
stantly ahead picking up the lay Of the
land and bringing in reports, to pro-
tect themselves from the danger
of being fanked on some of these
roads and cut off entirely at q con-
verging point. In a country with one
good main road and but few side roads
the success Of bicycle corps In obstruct-
ing the passage of an enemy would bo
much greater. Bicycles have not yet been
introduced In the British regular army.
but if their success among the volunteers
continues, 1t is expected that similar
corps will be organized in each regular

Mountain Climbing for Invalids.
II hoe oxS onIad hfc oduonaou

Oertel has extended his advocacy OF
mountain climbing, as a curative agency,
to other forms Of heart disease besides
such as are dependent upon or associated

fects. For this purpose ne prefers re-
sorts surrounded by mountains, on the
sides of which graduated walks, of In
creasing difficulty, and extending up to
between three thousand and four thou
sand feet can be mapped out. 1t is by
no means a matter Of indifference how
you walk up these ascents. It Is to be
done In a strictly prescribed manner.
The hills are to be assembled slowly, and
the pace must be as even as possible, with
no talking and no interruptions. This
NAV not be attainable at first, but it is
the end to be aimed at.
"Then the pace and the breathing must,

both acts should be equal and regular In

ginning Of the inspiration and put down
as it ends; the other foot makes its step,

These precautions must be infinitely OBJ
served, or palpitation and difficulty of
