LAREDO, Tx, Dec. q. --Reports have
been received in this city from Carrie
in Zapata county, whore Capt. lIardic'a
troop OF tho United States cavalry is
now stationed, to the effect that there
is no doubt whatever but what CARA
has crossed with nine hundred men into
Mexico at points between that city and
Brownsville. 1t is also stated that
CARA attacked the Mexican troops at
Los Terrelas, about seventy miles from
tho border, and defeated tho latter, and
that there were 40 men killed on both
sides. This report is doubtless authen-
tic as it comes from az official who is
now on the ground.

(Edmund Collins, in Harper's Weekly) A STRANGE CASE OF HIBERNA.
 TON.

S1We have heard of toads which have been imprisoned in solid rock for centu- ries, and which were found alive when their abiding place was cleft open. This reminds me of things 1 have observed about certain fishes in winter which think will be interesting to young folks. A large number of fishes, some of them living in deep ponds, brooks, or out in silent hooks of the sea, will remain for four, five or even six months in the same position without eating or so much as moving fin or tail.
 In the government fish hatchery under the management of MT. Wilmott, super intendent of pisciculture for the Domin- ion of Canada, at Newcastle, Ontario, had many opportunities to study certain fishes in winter, for they could be clearly seen through the glass sides of the tanks. In one tank, about a third of the way up from the bottom, were half a dozen Ger man carp, all facing the direction from which the water flowed. l noticed their positions about Christmas, saw them again in January, twice in February, and two or three times in March, and in all that time not one of them had changed it's position or moved fin or tail MT. Wilmott told me that this was quite usual among these fishes. He permitted me to raise the cover of the tank and poke a couple of them with my stick; each one made a slow, lazy movement, and relapsed into stiffness. Just above the carp, in the same tank, was an eel about three feet long. When first saw it in December it was curved like a perfect $, and all through the winter it preserved that shape without, so far as MT. Wilmott knew once moving. This, I may add, is how numerous kinds of fishes spend the winter So long as they remain perfectly still there is no waste of animal tissue, and they do not need food, Put frog into a tank at the beginning of winter, then place frog will get upon the wood, with his eyes looking straight up, and never so much as move until the weather begins to get warm in the spring he will then begin to jump about and look for something to eat.
 But the strangest case of Information that know has been related to me by Dr. Ferguson, the pathologist of New York Hospital. In one of the small tanks belonging to the hospital museum a carp of peculiar description had been placed. One very cold night the water where the fish was kept was frozen through, and the fish embedded in it. The care-taker took the ice from the vessel, and placed it on top of an ash barrel where rubbish sput away. The cylinder of ice re- faaaaed where it was pnt for a couple of months, till the hot spring sun one day melted it down to the place where the fish was frozen. Some attache of the hospital then was surprised to notice 8 fish wriggling in piece of ice. The carp had survived his imprisonment, passed the pe,iod of Information, and resumed his old activity.

silver. We were very kindly tutored on the voyage by an English friend in mak- ing change, and also in asking for tickets in the true English way (which is to say, "Please give me four third singles" or -four second singles" as the case may be), and we considered that we were ex- ceptionally well launched.
 The first tickets bought from the com mon purse was at Chester. Going up to the "booking office," as the ticket office is called, I asked the price of ticket to Windermere.
 "seven and eleven pence ha'pennny," said the man.
 I gasped. Please give me four sin gIes," said, with one despairing clutch at my English tutoring, mentally groping, meanwhile, for the chalk and blackboard, and failing of that, trying to make the calculation in my head.
 "Thirty-one and ten," said the man, briskly, handing them to me. Now that morning we had made a de- posit in the purse of four gold ten-shilling pieces. They were bright, and we were unaccustomed to them, and somehow they seemed very valuable to me. Ihand- ed one of them to the man. He looked at me in astonishment and some indigna- tion.
 That's not enough" ;" he said. Greatly confused, I handed out another.
 That's still not enough" he said.
 In desperation I poured out my store before him, and motioned to the girls to give me more. My forty shillings suf- feed however, and he gave me the change; but, remembering that I had to give an account of that money and those tickets, so that each one could go into an account book, I said, "I am afraid I am very stupid; but will you be kind enough to tell me again the price of one ticket?" "One ticket" he said politely and slow ly, lis seven shillings eleven and half pence; four tickets would be thirty-one shillings and ten pence; that from forty shillings would leave eight shillings and two pence, which I have just given you" And when I apologized for my slow ness, on the ground of not being familiar with English money, he said, "Certainly; I suppose I should have the same diff- culty in your country. ."-Haaper's Bazar.

THE BRONCO.

There is no horse superior to the bronco for endurance; few are his equals. He came by it naturally from the Spanish stock of Moorish descent, the individuals of which race, abandoned in the sixteenth century, were his immediate ancestors: and his hardy life has, by survival of the fittest, increased this endurance tenfold He is not handsome. His middle piece is distended by grass food; it is loosely joined to his quarters, and his hip is very short
 He has hammer head and the pro- nounced eve neck which all plains or steppes horses seem to acquire. His legs are naturally perfect, but they finally give way at the knees from short stopping with gag bit, for an Indian will turn on 8 ten-cent piece. One form of racing Is to place two long parallel strips of buffalo hide on the ground at an interval of but l few feet, and, starting from distance, to | ride up to these strips, cross the first, turn between the two and gallop back to the starting point.
 Another is to ride up to a log hung hor- l izontally and just high enough to allow the pony to get under, but not the rider, touch it, and return. If the pony is stop ped too soon the Indian loses time in touching the log; if too late he gets scraped off. The sudden jerking of the pony on his launches is apt both to start curbs and break his knees.
 The toughness and strength of the pony can scarcely be exaggerated. He will live through winter that will kill the hardest cattle. He worries through the | long months when the snow has covered up the bunch grass on diet of cotton wood boughs which the Indian cuts down | for him, and in the spring 1t takes but a few weeks for him to SCOUT out into splendid condition.
 He can go unheard-of distances. Col onel R. I. Dodge records an instance com ing under his observation where a pony carried the mails three hundred miles in three consecutive nights, and back over the same road the next week, and kept this up for six months without loss of condition. He can carry any weight. MT. Parkman speaks of chief, known as Le Cochon, on account of his three hun dred pounds avoirdupois, who neverthe- less rode his ponies as bravely as a man of half the bulk.
 l He as often carries two people as one. There is simply no end to this wonderful product of the prairies. He works many years. So long as he will fat up in the spring his age is immaterial.
 The absence of crest in the pony sug- gests the curious query of what has be- come of the proud arching neck of his ancestor, the Barb. There are two ways of accounting for this. The Indians gag bit, invariably applied with jerk, throws up the pony's head instead of bringing it down as the slow and light application of the school curb will do, and this tends to develop the eve neck.
 Or a more sufficient reason may be found in the fact that the starvation which the pony annually undergoes in the winter months tends to deplete him of every superfluous ounce of flesh. The crest in the horse is mostly meat, and it's annual depletion has finally brought down the pony's neck nearer to the outline of the skeleton. H0rDer's Mo0agipe.

SHILLINGS AND PENCE.

A sCHOOL-MA'AM's DIFFICULTIES WITH ENG-
 LIsH MONEY.
 Before leaving home we were advised by all means to have common purse. After trying individual payments for just one day, we saw the wisdom of the advice and took it, and I, alas! on account of my age and matronly title, was chosen, like Judas, to carry the bag. I thus got little more than my share of experience. The English money was by far the worst. The Dutch, German and French money, being decimal currency, was very simple after we had once fixed in our minds the value of the gulden, the mark and the franc; for the Dutch cent, the German pfennig and the French cent ime were respectively one-hundredth part as much. But the English money would never divide by ten, and that was what was continually undoing us.
 Now wish to say, lest some aspersions be cast upon my reputation as 8 teacher, that know the table of English money. can say fluently in school: f...
 farthings=1 penny,
 12 pence Fl shilling,
 20 shillings- pound. " I have even gone as far as what we used to call, when we were children, the also table: s... .--. ~..
 . shillings=1 florin,
 shillings=1 crown.
 But I found that knowing the table of English money and knowing English money were two very different things. It is one thing to sit in a school-room, mistress of the situation, and trip children up in their shillings and pence, and quite another thing to stand in crowded depot, before an official who is master of the situation, and count your own, shillings and pence.

How TO SUCCEED.-This is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily solve. Some fail, because of poor health
 others want of luck, but the majority from deficient grit-want of nerve. They are nervous. irresolute, changeable, easily gel the blues and ''take the spirits down tc keep the spirits up," thus wasting money
