PueblO Indians Of New Mexico.

By far the most interesting inhabit-
ants of the heart of New Mexico are the
Pueblo Indians. AS to their origin, much
has been, and more may be, surmised.
According to the traditions of the wise
men, their forefathers came from the
great mountains and lakes far to the
northward ages upon ages ago. Fables
and myths are interviewer with what
may be legends founded upon fact; but
the truth is difficult to separate from fc-
ton. Their myths seem to refer to faml-
lies rather than to entire tribes, and they
are so strongly colored with imagery as
to be susceptible of almost any interpre-
tation. At first sight the temptation to
connect the Pueblos directly with the
ancient cliff-dwellers is very strong.
Numerous ruined towns and villages,
once belonging to this curious people,
occur within the regions now occupied by
the Pueblos. Every one has heard OF
the old stone houses. half hidden, IN al
most inaccessible hooks, on the steep faces
of high bluffs, or built against rocky walls,
much like the mud nests of swallows.
Less well known are the cave dwellings,
which afforded shelter to probably the
same people at later period. In some
huge cliff of sandstone they followed out
communicating caverns of various dimen-
sions. Access from the outside was
gained through low, narrow doors.
Round or square openings in the rock
wall served as windows and supplied
light and air. At favorable points sew
eral stories of such caves may be found
in the same bluff. From these safe but
dungeon habitations the cliff-dwell-
ers issued forth to their daily avocations.
They were not war-like race, but re-
NAMED on the defensive. Whence they
came is a matter of much obscurity.
Recent investigation in Arizona by Cush-
ing seems to make it probable that they
were descendants of that great and pros
porous nation which built large towns in
the valleys of mighty rivers, which had a
most highly developed civilization, and
which was eventually scattered and partly
destroyed, possibly by the effect of earth
quakes, and subsequent ravages OF
nomadic Indians.-Harper's Weekly.

Spiders Are Animated Fly Traps.


eWhy on earth don't you clean up
those cobwebs2"
"Just because want the spiders to in
crease and multiply and replenish the
earth" .
The speaker was Mr.. Tom Minor,
whose place of business is on Decatur
street, in front of a large wagonyard.
"Come back here and I'll show you my
spider pastures. You see those stalls
there2 There are thousands of spiders
there, of all ages and sexes. These spi-
ders beat all the fly paper, insect pow
ders and everything else that was ever
invented. House flies roost high around
here. Sometimes new colony will
come from across the street and settle
down to business, but they don't live
long"
'sThe spiders get thems"
"You bet they do. They combine
sometimes, and lay for big house fly.
They have to be very patient and cum
ming, but the first thing the house fly
knows one of them nails him and then
the rest of the squad gathe- around him,
and such circus you never saw in your
life."
sDo the spiders ever get knocked
outF"
Occasionally. The worst ever saw
them whipped was one afternoon last
June, when they tackled one Of these big
old zooming bumblebees. You ought to
have seen those spiders. The humble
bee laid them out right and left, and tore
up half the webs in the stalls. ."-Atlonta

An Unwritten Law Among Bee Hunters

There is a common law among them,
or there used to be amcng the bee hunt
ers of the North and West, that the man
who first finds bee tree is entitled to
the honey. The owner of the land where
the tree grows is not brought into the
question. The first duty of a man who
finds such tree is to put his mark upon
lit. After this if any one else cuts the
tree down and takes the honey the Of

How a Breed Of Sheep Originated.

The well-known Ancon or otter breed
of sheep, now extinct, arose in the last
century in Massachusetts by the acci-
dental birth of a ram with crooked legs
and long back like turnsplt. These
peculiarities rendered him unable te
leap fences, and as this was point OF
great Importance to the early settlers this
ram was selected for breeding, and hif
abnormaGties of structure was faithfully
transmitted. The breeds of MauchamI
sheep and Niata cattle had somewhat
similar origin.-Cham5ers's Journal.

OF NEW YORK, WHO HAS CONTRAC-
TED To FURNISH 1900, 1000, 900
POSTAL CARDS.

Albert Daggett has secured the con-
tract to furnish postal cards for the
government for the four years begin
ming October | next. He is required
to make four hundred millions year.
The average daily output is mil
lion and quarter cards. At times
the demands run up to sixty million
month, and the department expects
to keep a stock ahead, subject to call,
of about twenty-five million cards.
Mr.. Daggett's gross receipts for the
four years under the contract will be
$685., 900. Mr.. Daggett has assumed a
tremendous piece of work.
He is we'll known politician and
man of business. and is about forty
two years old. In his native place,
Troy, he was known as an able pOlit-
zeal manager before he was twenty
one. He removed to New York where
he was made deputy collector of in
ternal revenue. When a special IN
vestigation was made by the author
tiles at Washington with regard to
the whisky frauds Daggett's accounts
were found to be perfect. Soon after
he was appointed under sheriff Of
Kings county, in which Brooklyn is
Ills ISIul III
years. when he was elected sheriff.
AS incumbent of this Office he inita-
ted legislation at Albany, whereby
foreclosures were taken away from
private referees and intrusted
to the sheriff: The change
made him rich man. He is
said to have received over four humid
red thousand dollars in fess and emol-
uments alone during his term. After
his retirement from the office of sher-
if he was given the weighing contract
for the port of New York, and this
gained him another large fortune, said
to count up as well as the one he
made as sheriff. But his riches took
to themselves wings and flew away,
and in 1850 he went into business un-
connected With politics. He has been
successful, and feels himself strong
enough to tackle the enormous con-
tract described, to secure which he
outbid seven other bidders.

Mexican TOrt.lla Woman Serious
ly assaulted.
Today about 1890 o'clock, a Next
can woman named Chona Espinosa ,
was stabbed once in the right breas
and once in the right arm by Juan
Garcia, the man with whom she has
been living. He committed the deed
with a large bowie knife, and as the
woman ran screaming and coverd
with blood, from the house, he fled
to the vicinity at the San Pedro creek
at the crossing of Nueva street. The
house where the deed was committed
is a small howell on the west side of
south. Laredo street, very near the
corner of Nueva street. The neigh
bors gave chase to the fleeing man
and ran him into the bushes along
where he hid himself. While some
stood guard Others informed the po-
lice who were soon at the scene, and
officers F. Garca and Daniels soon
arrested him and placed him in Jail.
The woman's wounds were quickly
dressed by physicians who arrived
and the woman an hour afterward
was resting easily and talking with
her three children and her friends, She
says Garcia stabbed her because she
told him to leave her house forever
She says he is very worthless and she
has been supporting him. He will
not work, but takes all the money
she earns and spends it. Not only
this, but be lately has began abus-
ing her little girls very badly and
that was too much. In the quarrel
that ensued between them he did
the stabbing. The woman has been
keeping a chile stand on Military
plaza, the third stand from the west
side, and is about IS years old. She is
rather comely in appearance, though,
as is the generality of their race,
quite small.

Important to CattIemen.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Reli-
able news of the greatest Importance
to cattlemen in sections of the United
States comes from the southern line
of Kansas and the pastures of the
Indian Territory. There has been for
some time suspicion among cattle
dealers, that the herds Of native and
Texas cattle in the Territory were af-
fiicted with Texas fever. A man
named VIM. Johnson, has just re-
turned from trip to Oklahoma and
passed through the country where
herds are pastured. He says that not
only are the natives afflicted but the
thorough Texans are dying by humid
reds in pastures south of Arkansas
City. The symptoms are exactly the
same as Texas fever, but the Texans
have never been known to die of the
disease before,

vanced liberals, publishes q strong

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat COM
menting on the refusal of the treas
ury department to permit bonded
goods through Mexican territory
same as through the Canadian domin-
ion, says:
"It has just been discovered that a
law passed twenty-three years ago
authorizes the transportation of mer-
chaDdise in bond to and from points
in the United States through Mexi-
can territory, the same as through
Canadian territory. Such privilege
has been several times refused by the
treasury department, in curious ig-
norance of this statute; but regula-
tons governing traffic along the Mex.
lean frontier will now be prepared as
in the case of Canada"
If any where, on and along and
over any border there should be a
liberal Interpretation of treasury reg
ulations it should be along the Mexi-
can frontier. This country wants in
creased facilities for trade with Mexi-
CO not unnecessary restriction.
