A Modern MethuseIa.

An Everett, Pennsylvania cores pondent of the Pailadelp phia Press writes: During my stay in Chili, where I was employed as superin- tendent of silver mine near Huas- co, I came in contact with an In dian who was found after careful investigation to be l93 years cd. His name was Jaloquin Happole The miners called him Hercules.
 Happole was born in Southern Patagonia, and is perfect type of the Patagonian Indian, being feet 8 inches in height.
 He is of very heavy build, bis voice is remarkable sonorous, and his hair now white, reaches far down his back, aud is very coarse.
 For about fifty years this Indian worked in the copper regions, and he also work ed in the silver mines for twenty-five years. He learned to speak the Spanish language. Men that knew him fifty years ago say that he could make a running leap of thirty feet with ease, and many are the tails of his strength. Old native Indiaus say their gr' d fathers have spoken of him As being old in their youth. Some of the oldest Spanish settlers remember him to have been gray haired when, seventy-fve years ago he, with sixty or seventy otFer Patauouians was induced to come and work in the copper mine.
 Happole says that he can remem- Der Spanish Catholic missonary named Alondez travelling through Patagonia. It has been found that this was in the years l748-49. The first and largest part of his life he was uuciVilized, obtaining his living bd the chase.

 DEPARTMENToF INTER1oR,)

 WASHINGTON, March II, lS909
 To SECRETARY OF INTERIOR:
 DEAR SIR: I am in receipt of your letter dated February 18th, 1890, in which you transmit a let ter from Hon. M. A. Smith, asking if any decision has been made by the department as to the monies paid to Fred W. Smith, late Re ceiver at Tucson, Arizona, and in winch yeu request this office to ad- wise you as to what action has been taken with reference to the final proofs of settlers who had made payment to Mir. Smith.
 In reply thereto, I have the honor to settle that this office de- tailed clerk to make a careful ex- animation of the accounts of Mir. SHIith, late Receiver, and of all monies received by him, and has since stated an account against Mir. Smith for the monies paid to him by the settlers at the time of mak- ing their final proofs, amounting to SI3,016.I5. Said account had been transmitted to the honorable First Comptroller of the Treasury for his a, tion. The honorable So- i;itor of the Treasury has been re- qnested to bring suit on the bond ot MT. Smith for tAe recovery of said amount. This office will instruct the present Register and Receiver at Tucson Arizona, to examine the proofs now in thelr office on which payments have been made to Smith,  aud if found sufficient to allow the entries of date when proof and pay ment were made, and after an ex- animation, to forward the same to ts..s office. Very respectfully,

The republicans throughout ths

The republicans throughout tho territory believe that if the right man be put in nomination for con- gress, the present democrasicincum- bent can be shelved for good. A number of names have been sugges- ted, several of whom are good men but we question much whether they can afford to accept the nomination even If it arrives with the assurance of an election. It is well known that the salary attached to the office S5, 000-giVes but little if any thing more than a bare maintenance at Washington, and but few men care to leave a profitable business for the uncertainties of such 8 re- turn. Of mere politicians there ia no end, but more than thisis needed Within the next few years we hope to see Arizona equipped for state hood, and when the eventful hour arrives the right man is needed at the capitol.

A special dispatch to the Inde- pendent of the 18th inst, from Washington City, says: "The wes- tern men in Congress are more or less stirred up over an order issued by Secretary Noble withdrawing from home stead and presumption settlements all lands west of the hundredth meridian.

 Female criminals are never be- headed. When they are executed they are either strangled with a rope or made to suffer the terrible "Llng Chi" The latter punish ment is at the present time inflicted on'y in extreme cases-that Is, what the Chinese consider extreme eases. Such are, when the prisoner has murdered her mother, mother-in- law, husband or brother-in-law, or, in fact, any one who is considered superior to her. The literal trans lation of Ling Chi is to ''nince," or "cut into minee meat.
 The condemned woman is, after first having been disrobed, bound to a stake in the public square. The executioner must be an expert man who has studied for his office, who has learned how to cut carve and mutilate the human body according to the rules of the art He is pro vided with set of sharp knives, and, as in all executions, he waits for signal. When it comes he begins his work. With a ffightful dexterity he earves the woman to pieces, carefully selecting tie least vital parts for the exhibition of his skill. The flesh is cut away almost ounce by ounce, and to final disem- bowelling and decapitstion follow the most dreadful torture.
