cerning the right Of certain Mexican
citizens to have their claims to lands
in Arizona and New Mexico, ceded to
the United States by treaties adjusted
and confirmed. "The United States"
saws the president, owes duty to
Mexico TO confirm to her citizens those
valid grants that were saved by
treaty, and the long delay which has
attended the discharge Of this duty has
given Just cause OF complaint. The en- :
tire community where these large claims

The Effect Of ruoIeiters.

She was little old woman in black,
with the least bit of white ruching about
her neck-just such a creature as il
takes to bring one down to the real
thought of humanity, out of the hurry
burly of everyday existence to the little
sorrows and little rays of sunshine that
go to make up life as it is. Everybody
noticed her as she came in the car. Her
sweet old face didn't have many wrinkles
in it, and the passengers wondered il
she wasn't the prettiest girl in her crowd
when she was young.
The little old lady had two letters in
her hand, and after she had given the
conductor her nickel she opened one OF
them, at the same time adjusting pair
of steel trimmed spectacles to her nose.
As she read the letter smile gathered
all over her face and then broke into a
laughing chuckle that everybody in the
car noticed. Another smile came, then
laugh and more smiles, and the letter
was finished. The little old woman
was the happiest person on the car and
she seemed to want to say something to
somebody. As she put away the first
letter and began opening the other one
she turned to lady sitting by her and
said:
THAT letter is from Johnny, my boy,
I mean. He's been gone long time
now, and every Saturday get letter
from him. He never forgets his old
mother, John doesn't, and some day he
will come back to see me. You don't
know the comfort of such son, young
lady"
The second letter was taken from the
envelope and the little old woman be-
gan reading. In moment she started
and then jumped to her feet, staring
wildly at the sheet she had in her
hands.
mo, mol" she screamed. "No, it is
not so-it can't be So"
The little old woman reeled, and
big, burly home going laborer caught
her in his arms. She was taken from
the car, accompanied by number of
the passengers, and lifted to drug
store. When she was finally laid down
one of the passengers put his ear close
to her heart, and then rising shook his
head.
The little old woman had died. In
one of her hands letter was clasped
and in the other she clutched rumpied
sheet. The bit of paper was taken by
one of the passengers, who read aloud
to the others:
Dear Madam-It is with pain that
we disclose to you sad news concerning
your son. As he was returning to the
mining camp from the postoffice last
night his horse threw him against
rock snd he never spoke again. He
died this morning. "-Pitts6aLrgh Dis.

A church sensation: Drowsiness.
The Way Mad. CIear.

One of the most serious obstacles to sue
cess in the way of man is planted right in
the middle of the road to health. How to
restore and to maintain a regular habit of
body and digestion is too often source of
needless and, unhappily, of vain inquiry. It
is not necessary to inveigh against dras-
tic purgatives. They who have used them
continuously know the consequence. rem
edy which unites the action of q regulating
medicine for the bowels with that of a tonic

toned by the best medical authority, and re-

gentle laxative at hand, it is possible to defy
those changes of temperature productive of
constipation, a. well as constitutional at
tacks of biliousnesS, which beset even people
naturally healthy. Malaria, dyspepsia, rheu-
matism and kidney troubles are remedied
and prevented by the Bitters.

Beggars in london.

The barefoot dodge is favorite one
with beggsrs in London. During the
Christmas season I saw one lusty knave
take off his shoes and stockings, leaving
them in barroom, and then pick his
way over the cold cobblestones of the
street, singing a melancholy ditty and
holding out his cap pleadingly for
pence. Every English beggar that ac-
costs you reminds you that he is poor
fellow. ~Oh, please give penny to s
poor devil. please help a poor old
man." please remember poor lad.
Please buy box of matches of poor
old woman" These are the entreaties
that come to you from every side. The
alleged poverty of these people is their
stock in trade. Then again the most
hideous monstrosities are to be met with
upon the street corners = manned.
SCARED and deformed wretches who
seek to profit by their hideousness.
Many OF these creatures are well to do.
at the corner of Tottenham Court
road and Oxford street sits woman as
fat as butter, comfortably clad and
wearing cheerful expression. A plac-
ard suspended from her neck informs
the pssser-by that the poor woman is
blind, that she is afflicted with fits, and
that she Is trying to earn money enough
to pay for being tapped for the dropsy.
This professional rides to and from her
place of business In cab.
Oxford street is patrolled by several
blind men who affect dogs, lugubrious
songs and dismal countenances. These
fellows have entered into sort of bust
ness partnership aud they are rich.
Suggest to an English beggar that he
apply for admission to one. of the nu-
merous homes or asylums for the indi-
gent and afflicted, and see how quick
he is to resent the idea
