no doubt, as Mr.. George, and with thou
sands or broad barren acres, upon which he
pays no tax, tribute being levied only upon
the product. In the high wall is a portal
that serves as an entrance to court, whence
flock to the train for brief entertainment
dozens OF swarthy retainers. They seem to
be happy congregation Of uncivilized
people in dirty cotton; still the chapel in
sight, with cross upon it and bell hang
ing below, would indicate a step beyond
savagery. They look poor enough to be
owners of the land. imagine, however.
that three feet by five (they being short IN
stature) is all any individual will lay
claim to, and that their ancestors for gen.
erations have demanded no more to the
man. Happy they must be; any civil at
tention will bring smile into the dark
face and disclose a set of white teeth. And
yet, a lady wonders:
'If these people can be happy living here
think Of getting off in the night at such a
place!"
WIZ not as happy as you, in Massachu-
setts? The chances are ten to one, madam,
that that woman in the parti-colored apron
and scant skirt, stiff with grease. and
the burlap rebozo over her black locks.
would make the same inquiry looking out
upon New England village. What con-
sttutes happiness is a problem that has
puzzled longer heads than yours or mine,
my dear madam. But the chances are you
look upon genuine article through the car
wlndow-as genuine as you will find any
where on earth; only do not examine it with
your own rush-light. As for "getting of
in the night" not a soul of them-and they
must have souls, mark the chapel-ever has
disembarked or will get off here in the
night, because it is never night with them;
in their world of sunshine it is always light.
Neither Darwin nor Spencer nor Huxley
has ever troubled them, nor will.
We travel with q stone wall in sight for
an hour or more, then the wall starts of at
right angles across the plain, and we lose it
over the ridge of mountain so miles away.
Within its confines we have discovered a
lew little mules, a few goats and few cattle
and few varieties of the cactus.
But 1t is not always so. A hacienda is
reached, perhaps, that is a marvel of thrift
and clean cultivation in every acre. Broad
fields, with no sign of a weed, with furrows
as straight as an engineer could run line;
so that as We rush BY they seem like long
spokes in a gigantic wheel turning ponder
ously. And these burrows are accomplished
by the aid of crooked stick and team of
oxen with board tied to their horns instead
Of yoke on their necks. Compel one of
these fellows to Yankee plow and a good
team of horses and he would die OF mortif-
cation.

BILE POISON ED BLOOD.

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur.
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action Of the Liver is interfered with. causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
ETC., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance Of bilious symptoms, will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack.

For lack Of something less horrible they
talk of train wreckers. Iverily believe that
should these men die and get into heaven
they would suggest the possibility of an sp-
peal to higher tribunal, to the distress OF
those enjoying the benefit Of what is COM
monty treated as final judgment.
We had the story of the dastardly attempt
some months before in its minutest details,
and 1 presume that neitherOf these experts
was nearer than 1000 miles OF the place at
the time. But they had secured the in
valuable information, even to the shooting
next morning of the leader and the life i'm
prisonment Of his accompliees. The sud-
den and certain punishment was the only
element of comfort in the recital, and dare
venture to say that the narrator would not
have advanced the conclusion had he de-
tected any consolation in the example set
to other rascals thus murderously inclined.
Nervousness was not confined to the
ladies in the car. Every lurch suggested a
pile of ties on the road and certain derail-
ment. But succeeded in losing myself be-
fore midnight, and when the sun came up
next morning over the plains the tourists
were missing; they had left US some time
during the night, or rather we had left
them at Monterey. When they were
missed the sigh of relief was general, and 1
was consoled by the reflection that I had not
alone been hurling mental anathemas at the
undeserving. or course, one may not
have everything pleasant in this life, but
there can be no possible apology for letting
fall drop or two of ink into a glass of
water and recommending the beverage; it
may not be dangerous, nevertheless it is
Objectionable-so is the egotistical bore.
