4 RELIC OF A FAMOUS BATTLE.-Cuns.
berland, Nd, Jan Ga white-pine tree
was cut recently two miles south of Shade
Mills, in Garrett county, near the site of
the old Braddock road, and converted into
shingles. 1t was large tree, and by ex-
pert woodsmen estimated to be at least 800
years old. In cutting it up the saw, going
through some tough substance, then sup
posed to be Knot, attracted attention, aud
investigation disclosed a bullet embedded
within two inches of the heart. The tree
at this point was 80 inches in diameter.
About one third of the bullet was sawed
away, the remainder, weighing at least an
ounce, beiug left in u corner of the butt end
of shingle. The ball is supposed to havs
been shot from musket by one of Brad
docks men during the campaign which
eliminated in the disaster at Fort Du
Quesne. In this event the bullet was em
bedded in the tree 133 years ago, each
years. growth buryng it deeper. 1t is a
most interesting mesnento of the ill-starred
campaign of 1856 1t was brought to Frost

AN OPEN SECRET.


All dost thou love and dare not isll IL
And canst thou hide II in thine eyes?
And canst thou from thy love conceal IT.?
And dost thag love to drown thy sighs
Alasy love and must not say its
My secret sweet must not show.
close my eyes lest they betray me:
close my lips that none may know.
Yet can hope to keep my secret
When all earth's creatures tell 1t so
They sing 1t. sigh 1t. and repeat 1t.
TILL all the world must know my woe!
The nodding grasses tell my story,
The flowers lisp 1t to the sun:
And all the birds, the chirping tattlerI.
They seem to K now it-every one.
Loud they sing 1t at my window,
And Pm happy while alone:
But tremble lest they sing 1t
To some thoEs Eshtless, careless one.
Then the winds. how they repeat IL,
Till the crimson dyes my cheek
FOR very fear lest slI may hearit;
So pray Them not to speak.
And the brook. while babbiing onward.
Bears my story to the sea;
Then I'm sure the clover knows 1t,
Some one told IT to the bee. 4 81:
would gladly share my secret
With the flowers. birds and ses;
But how wrong of them to tell it
Why are they so false to me?

THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
Some Official Matters of Note Gathered
at the Capitol To-day.

The governor has received an appeal
from the Mary Washington Monument
association of Fredericksburg, Va, ask
ing for contributions toward the erection
OF monument to Mary, the mother Of
Washington. Any WHO desire to
contribute to this patriot: undertaking
may send their money to the governor,
who will forward it to the ladies' associa-
ton in Virginia.
In the matter of the site for the New
Mexico school Of mines at Socorro, So
licltor General Bartlett has given the
governor an opinion to the effect that the
deed from E. j. Hubbard and others, ex-
ecuted August II, 49, and approved by
the court August Is, represents the only
property upon which school can be locat-
ed. 1t was the first deed prepared and
presented to the court as the law pro-
vides, and is without condition as to the
time within which the buildings shall
be erected, which is not the case with
the Harris deed.
The governor has also received the fol-
lowing letter from the census office in re-
lation to coal mining in New Mexico, and
will be glad if those who have informa-
ton on the subject will send it to the ex-
ecutive office or direct to Mr.. Jones:
Dear Sir: The Hon. Robert P. Porter,
superintendent of the eleventh. census of
the United States, having placed the de-
partment of mineral and mining statis-
tics under the general charge of DR.. David

undersigned has been appointed special

collieres or any other infor nation bearing
upon the subject that may be at hand.
Very respectfully, JOHN H. JONES.

THE FIRE BUGS HELD.


The tire-bugs, Jose AUTO. Ortega and
Dan Romero, were held in the sum Of
5000 each 10 await the action Of the grand
jury, in Squire Martinez court yesterday
afternoon. The testimony was so over
whelming against them that In his final
ruling the justice took occasion to speak
of the strong case made out by the terri
tory, and said it ought to be the duty of
every good citizen to assist in bringing
such criminals to justice without fear or
favor. This from a justice, in the same
room and from the same seat that the
late Squire ladilla SO long occupied, was
indeed very refreshing to a majority OF
the people present.
Tie prosecution was conducted by
District Attorney Twltchell, assisted by
Geo. G.. Preston, representing Mr.. Glider
sleeve, whose property was placed Ill
jeopardy by the devilish work Of these
BOYS. The defense was represented by
Melton Castillo and Jose B. ORTIZ.
When the prosecution closed only fair
case of probability had been made out
against the accused, but Justice Martinez
minated that he regarded the showing
sufficient to justify the holding of the
prisoners. This promoted the defense to
undertake the proving OF an abb. Ortega
was accordingly placed upon the witness
stand He testified that on Friday
night last, the night preceding the
fire, he went home at ) 80 and retired
about O'Clock. At about o'clock Satur-
day morning he said he had occasion to
get up, and seeing the heavens lit up he
rushed down in town and went to Con-
ways, where he notified a police officer
of the fire. The district attorney then
subjected the witness to rigid cross Ques-
tioning, with the result that Orlega cot his
tales all mixed up. He contradlcted him
eelf number of times. He further said
that he had not seen Dan Romero, his
pal, for at least twenty four hours previous
TO the fire. The attorney completely broke
down Ortega' s statements by the testimony
OF two WITNESSES. Flynn, the soldier,
testified that he had seen the boys to-
gether running rom the Gildersleeve
house before the fire broke out, and
Policeman j. A. Martinez gave evidence
to the effect that he saw Ortega and Ro-
nero together number OF times on Fri
day evening, and up to as late as mid
night. Thus very clear case was made
out against the accused. The district at
torney is on the trail of several other
parties who were unquestlonably associat-
ed with these boys in their rascallty.
Urtega and Romero will scarcely be able
TO give hall
