on account of their rarity are the issues

Mr., Reck, having his hands full of
commercial matters, proposed to give me
an interest if | would undertake to fill the
contract, which | accepted, and at once
purchased nearly 100 burro pack animals,
employed twenty-five Mexican packers
and procured an escort of twenty-five o..
5. dragons, commanded by Lieut.. |. N.
Moore, OF Capt Ewell's company. Many
were the friends who bid me adieu as the
gates OF the old Exchange hotel corral
were opened and my pack train of burros
took the road to San Miguel and Anton
Chico. Arriving there | packed each an
imal with 200 pounds OF corn, following
the PeCOs down until reached the Rio
Bonita, near the head waters of which
was being established Fort Stanton.
then followed that stream, arriving at des-
tlnatlon in due time. Some time, how
ever, before arriving, We were discovered
by a sentinel on high point linear the tort,
and as the troops did not know OF my
coming, great excitement prevailed, While
an alarm was started that the Indians
were approaching in force. This alarm,
however, soon subsidized as field glasses
were brought into requisition.
Delivering the corn, | turned my face
nOrthward, without maps or guides, deter
mined to explore for more direct route,
which | found, building water tanks on
the east side of the GalIinas mountains
and opening up direct route to San Mi
guel via Pedernal peak, and subsequently
employed OK teams in connection with
my pack train-the latter averaging
thirty miles per day with their packs, re-
curing three months to fill the contract.
Subsequently Lieut.. Moore received an
order to explore and map all that country
south OF Santa Fe as far as the Rio Bonito,
and from the Pecos west to the Nal Pals,
Oscuros, and Chupaines and at his re.
quest joined him az Los Lunas and with
the former escort OF dragons took the
field for nearly two months crossing and
recrossing every portion OF the country
referred to-hence my familiarity with
that section of country.

A Campaign of Education,

New York, Nov. 2S.-From now on
until after the next presidential election,
the American Protective Tariff League
proposes to work as it has never worked
before, to strengthen in every state in the
union, the cause of which Major Mckin-
ley is especial champion and standard
bearer. During the year ending in Sep
TENDER last, it sent out 100000 pages
of tariff literature, but even this immense
total will be doubled or trebled in the
next ten months. The league has LOGO
official correspondents scattered over the
country, and to each of these circular is
shortly to be sent, asking for their
opinions regarding the best methods of
promoting a whirlWind oftariff enthusiasm
as prelude to the Republican national
convention in June. Hon. Cornelius N.
Bliss, the millionaire banker, who has
just been elected president of the league,
has determined TO devote a goody por-
ton OF his time to it's interests, and soon
after the commencing of the New Year,
tariff campaign will have been inaugu-
rated in nearly every state in the union.
The result of the November elections in
Ohio and Pennsylvania is claimed by the
league as a substantial victory for the
cause Of high tariff.

Syrup"

Here is something from Mr.. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor Of the De Witt
Mouse, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger Of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! II
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, I presume,
more than a hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup
in the market" q
