THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

DETECTIVE OMALLEY, held at New
Orleans for jury bribing In connection
with the Hennessy trial, talks detiantly,
and says the people who called for his
apprehension are now sorry they have
got him. They will be glad to get rid OF
him, but they can't and he will yet have
them, (the lynchers) pilloried as MUIR
derers of innocent and helpless men.
The Italians did not kill Hennessy,
O'Malley adds. Hennessy's last words
were: "Never mind me, catch Dever.
eux," not "Catch the dagoes," as has
been reported. The fact is being con-
cealed for purpose.
FRANK SLAvIN, the well-known pugi-
list, had long chat at st. Louis with
John l.. Sullivan. He said to a reporter
that Sullivan had told him he was no
longer in the ring; that he was bound
by contract for two years that prevented
his return to the ring, and furthermore
he liked his new profession better.
Slavin acknowledges Sullivan as the
champion and intends to go for the
winner OF the JacksOn-Corbett fight.
He and Sullivan parted the best of
friends and Siayin said the man who
made a bluff at Sullivan would have to
fight him first.

COST AND RETURN.

Figures on Irrigation Taken From a
Practical Source.
A CENSUS bulletin on the subject of
irrigation In New Mexico shows that the
territory there are 3,Os5 farms irrigated,
out OF total number of AHA, not in
clnding those Of the Pueblo Indians.
The average first cost of the water right
Is S5.5S per acre and the cost of the land,
the cost of preparing it for cultivation
etc, brings the average cost to the
farmer up to 1854 per acre. 1t is esti-
mated that the present value of irrigated
farms, including the improvements, aver
ages S50.9s per acre, showing an appar-
ent profit, less the cost of buildings, of
$32.44 per acre. Comparing the average
annual expense for water, sl.50 per
acre. with the average annual value of
the productions, which is Sl2.s4 per
acre, it appears that the average annual
