A Rare Tropical Flower.

A flower lately discovered in the
isthmus of Tehuantepec is white in
the morning, red at noon and blue at
night, and is called the chameleon
flower in default of any botanical
name. 1t is probably species of the
hibiscus mutabilis. The colors do not
pass abruptly from one shade to the
other, but change gradually from the
white of the morning to the pink and
red and thence to the blue at night.
The Tehuantepec tree grows to the
size of guava tree and gives out a
slight perfume when the flower is of a
red color

A DISPATCH from Pittsburg of re- cent date says: E. E. Roberts of the City of Mexico is in Pittsburg, and in an interview used the follow ing language: There Is a great deal of dissatisfaction among MeXicans over the rule of Diaz. He is as suming a more dictatorial attitude each year, endeavoring to establish himself so strongly as to defy all revolutionary movements. A strong feeling is growing up, however, that will, unless stopped by some unex- pected turn of affairs, ultimately bring about revolution. Such re- volts heretofore have been success fully checked because very few fol- lowers were secured, but the day is coming when the people will rise up and make it decidedly interesting for the administration.

Those who happened to be near the railroad coal bins last Monday afternoon saw the battle of the sea son, between two factions of the Cleveland boomers, that now travel as tourists on the top of oox cars. Some 10 or 12 of tbem were we'll filled with whiskey. when upon be- ing accused by another faction, of trying to break open a car, they sought to settle the dispute in the fstic arena. Being about evenly divided in numbers, they fought like demons. Human claret freely flowed. Eyes were blacked, cloth ing torn, hair pulled out, faces scratched and otherwise mutilated and the crowd rather badly marred, At the close it was a drawn battle. Yuma Sentinel.

The Live Stock Journal of Fort Worth, is authority for the state ment that a movement is on foot to secure a modification of the present regulations between this country and Mexico, to permit cattle to be driven into Mexico for temporary pasturage and returned without paying the heavy duty now requir- ed. Our Texas neighbors are rush. ing the matter, as owing to the scarcity of grass and water in south ern portions of Texas, such an ar- rangement would. afford great relief to many cattle owners. The modi- fcation may be all right, and at times like this, may be of untold benefits to cattlemen living so as to avail themselves of the arrange ment, yet it is nearly always the case that privileges of this sort are fagrantly abused.

Professor Nicholson does not at tempt to predict the outcome of the Indian currency experiment. But he presents view of the mat ter as it bears upon the commercial and industrial world beyond India. "The closure of the Indian mints to silver," he says: lis certain to intensity the evils that followed on closure of the hints of Europe. There must be a further apprecia- tion of gold-in other words, a further fall in general prices, with an intensifcation of the burden of indebtedness. increasing difficulty in the adjustment of wages, con- traction of enterprise through fall ing profit and liquidations on a small scale."
 These striking words present a picture of the results which would flow from the abandonment of sil- yer by the United States.-San Francisco Chronicle,

A bill is pending in Congress that proposes some radical changes in our naturalization laws. It prohib- it's tine naturalization of any alien ever convicted of a felony, or who is an anarchist, polvgamist, or who immigrated to this country in vio- latlon of law Every applicant for citizenship is also required to be able to read the Constitution, and must have resided continuously in the United States for five years, and for one year in the State in which he makes application. False swear ing to a naturalization petition is made punishable by fine of 5000 or imprisonment at hard labor for five years, or both. This is neces- sary to break up practices which have turned the naturalization pro- cess into a farce in most of the large cities of the country. Thus in Brooklyn, Congressional investi- gating committee lately found regular business of naturalizing aliens a few days after they had landed, for $25 head.-Silver Belt.

The Cattle Outlook.

The Texas StOckman and Farmer in noting replies to inquiries, as to the cattle outlook of Texas says This office is in receipt of replies from stock men and farmers in 121 counties in this state, to whom a letter of inquiry had been sent ask ing for a report as to the condition of the range, etc. The replies are from every section of the state, and the result IS much worse condi- tion of affairs than we had suppos- ed before the replies came in. In many counties grass and water IS so scarce that very large per cent of range cattle must die, especially if the coming winter should be un. usually wet and cold,
 The replies showing the condi- tion of cattle and the range, have been arranged by us under four headings denominated as ''good," ," "fair," ""poor," livery bad" Cores pondents tell us that in forty one counties the range is splendid. In twenty counties the condition of cattle and the range is put down as fair, twenty y-nine counties stock and range are put down as poor, while in thirty one counties our cores pondents tell us that cattle are in very bad condition with but little if any grass, and water fast giving out.
 With bad winter the loss up in these thirtv-one counties would be fifty per cent and perhaps more. Most of the counties in which the the drought is the most severe, and where the largest losses are lia- ble to occur, are located in south and west Texas, still almost every sec ton of the state has dry tier of counties. In short, taking the state as whole, the majority of our cor respondents report that the drouth has been more severe this year in Texas than at time since 1857. Some contend that rain thus late in the season would do more harm than good, as it would only rot what grass is left. We do not ad- here to that opinion, however. Cattle can subsist on very little food if they jhave sufficiency ol water. And again, there is plenty of grass in some pastures remote from water, and a good rain would fill the water holes so stock could get at this grass. Again, in south west Texas, grass will grow all win ter if not too cold. Good rains would at least provide plenty of stock water and lessen the inevita- ble loss.
