An Outlaw Killed.

A Tombstone telegram to the Phoenix Republican gives the fol- lowing account of the killing of Geronimo, 0 noted Mexican out law:
 "The noted desperado, Geronimo, was killed last night in the noun tains near Pantano, and the body was taken to Tucson to-day by Deputy Sheriff Gray. Late in the evening, Geronimo and Leon were discovered and attacked by posse. The bandits made a fierce resistance. Geronimo fired five shots and Leon three none, however, taking effect. The pursuers were armed with re- beating rifles and the robbers with pistols. Geronimo fought like a lion and fell pierced with bullets, when Leon surrendered.
 Geronimo robbed the United States mail stage more than a dog en times and has committed many murders. He has been captured several times, but had escaped till now. He had made a VOW to kill Sheriff Slaughter, who made wig orous pursuit of his band some years ago and exterminated the en- tire gang but the leader. The i'm mediate cause of the pursuit was the killing of Express Messenger Hay in train robbery in Sonora. One other accomplice was shot in the thigh and surrendered yester- day with Leon.
 "Leon, previous to about six months ago, was deputy sheriff Of Cochise county underSlaughter and had been active in the pursuit and endeavored to capture the famous bandit.
 Deputy Sheriff Cells, who was with Slaughter at the time of an at- tack on Geronimo's band, was kill ed by Geronimo, while bathing, some time since,o ,on the Sonora side of the line. The event is one of the most important in the criminal line that has occurred in the Terri tory for many years"

evil which it is invoked to alleviate.
1t has been thus from the day when
maa first put an enemy in his mouth
to steal away his brains" and thus it
will be to the end of time. No sane
and sober man denies the fact. Even
the habitual drunkard, in his brief ILL
terVals of reason, shudderingly admits
it. Yet thousands of intellectual be-
ings-many of them richly endowed
with mental gifts--seek consolation
from the bottle in the hour of
affection, though revelation, his

teach them that, of all the broken
reeds upon which weakness ever
leaned, the false excitement caused by
liquor is the most treacherous. 1t is

Though the Hessian fly damages 9th

them are but slight, compared with
wheat. The life history of this insect
has been but imperfestly known until
Prof. S. A. Forbes, of the University of
Illinois, began an investigation of the
subject He finds that there are always
two and sometimes three or four de-
structive generations in single year,
but the chief damage is done by the
first spring and last autumnal genera
tions. The winged insects, delica ate,
nearly black, two-winged gnats or
flies, much resembling a small mosqui-
to # female and G male in the illustra-
tom make their appearance about the
first of April, pair at once and lay the
eggs (a) for another generation, in the
folds of the wheat leaves, as shown at

eggs hatch into milk-white, oval,
smooth Larvae or maggots (o) which
make their way down the leaves to the
base of the sheaths near the root and
remain there motionless until grown,
after which they form tough, smooth,
dark brown cases, the flaXse"ds (c),
within which they pupate; at (h) the
faXseeds are seen between the stalk
and leaves. This chrysalis stage is not
always of definite duration and may
last several weeks, the winged fly de-
