From the Boston Progress,
The eloquent Patrick Henry said:
"We can only judge the future by the
past"
Look at the past:
When Egypt went down, 2 per cent
of her population owned 81 per cent of
her wealth. The people were starved to
death.
When Babylon went down, 2 per cent
of her population owned all the wealth
The people were starved to death.
When Persia went down, per cent of
her population owned the land.
When Rome went down, 1,oOO men
owned all the known world.
There are about forty million people
in England, Ireland and Wales, and
100000 people own all the land in the
United Kingdom.
For the past twenty years the United
States has rapidly followed in the steps
of these old nations. Here are the tig-
ures:
In 1850 capitalists owned 81 1-2 per
dent of the nations wealth.
In 1870 they owned 63 per cent.
Yet to the question, What are we,
the people, going to do about IT, no

A few hours later the strange proceed

more prolonged than either of the pre-

girl believed her dead and preparations
for laying out the body were made. The
patient had been in this state for at
least an hour when she again showed
signs of life and shortly after the doc
tors pronounced her comparatively out
of danger and in hopeful condition.

That keen observer and thinker, the
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, said in re-

present 'do not fit children for life; they
prepare them for examinations. IN
doubtedly there is much truth in this
statement. The system of examination
is carried to a harmful extreme. le has

MeNeiI the notorious horse thief and

McNeil, the notorious horse thief and train Iobber, has been at it again. A few days since he went into Winslow, dropped another of his poetical effu- sions into the post office for the News, took horse out of the stable of Mir. Laprade, folded his tent and quietly stole away. McNeil has bit of humor and originality in his general makeup, He likes to let the people know, in his own way, that they have had the honor of entertaining the most daring outlaw, that now enjoys his liberty in Arizona. He is no ordinary rustler, and except when he holds-up train, has no pals preferring to play lone hand. There is something to admire in such dare devil recklessness, when it is known he has never shed the blood of his fellow man.
 Since the above was in type we have learned from undoubted authority that McNeil stopped for short time at Thos. V. keams' place. George Ulgard, who is working tor Mir. Keams, knows Mic Neil well, and there can be no mistake. He was riding brown horse and had a sorrel stallion as pack animal. Was travelling by easy stages, and appeared unconcerned as to arrest. Employed a Navajo Indian to pilot him across the reservation in a northerly direction.

J. Y. Lee, of Nutrioso, was in town last Friday, and from him we learn that the party who went in pursuit of the persons who stole two span of horses from the above named place some days since, had returned, bringing the horses but not the thieves. He says they over hauled the horse thieves at some lakes on the east side of the Rio Grande, one morning about sun up. The pursued and the pursuing party caught sight of each other about the same time. The pur- sued opened fire on their pursuers at once. The fight was kept up for about six hours. The thieves being armed with long range guns, had quite an ad- vantage over their pursuers, and held them at bay for that time. Finally one of the pursuing party went back for re- Inducements, and a short time after two more concluded to cut off the stolen horses, and turn them back towards the Rio Grande, leaving Ed Brown to watch the thieves. When the two who were driving the horses had gone some dis tance, the two rustlers, A, G. Powell and Charles B. Rudd, made it so hot for Mir. Brown, that he thought discretion the better part of valor, and made a nasty retreat toward the Rio Grande. The emigrants to Oklahoma, taking ad- vantage of the situation, continued their march toward that land of promise.

his batting averages both In the Southern
league and National league.
The Philadelphia club having more pitchers
than 1t could use and having a surplus of
ielders, agreed to sell his release to the Pitts
burg club, with which in 1855 he took part In
seventy-three championship games. In
thirty-seven games he guarded first base
and in thirty-four he played in the outfeld,
making q fine record in each. As a first
basemnn his average was .96s, and as an out
fielder it was .e49. He has shown up well
for the Pittsburg club thus far this season
both at the bat and in the field. As that
club, however, has a surplus Of felders, he
does not get a chance to play regularly, and
therefore does not have the opportunity TO
display his ability as either a batter a
fielder. He has given up pitching altogether.
