THE rEHUANrEPKC RAILROAD.

The railroad across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec in Mexico, will be finished
BY July of this year: an event Of great
importance to our states on this coast.

communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific ocean. President Diax, Of Mexico.
has refused to allow this railroad to pass
into private hands. believing that the best
interests Of commerce will be served by
keeping 1t under government control. Tho
project Of inter oceanic communication
through the Isthmus of Tshuantepec was
presented to Emperor Charles v. of Spain,
by Cortes ~ early - 1870. The railroad

A friend, who is a native of the South
and grew 20 manhood in one Of the states
OF the South Atlantic seaboard. tells us
that the school histories used rs te 1t books
In the public schools Of his state are filed
with false statements concerning the
origin and conduct of the great civil war:
in fact. that these so-called histories are as
grossly partisan as a Democratic stump
speech made hy some bitter irreconcilabls
like Gen. Juhsi A. Early The rosu,, is
that the Southern children are educated
into the belief that the responsibility for
the civil war rested on the North; that
che North invaded" the South; that the
war on the part of the South was fight
for freedom instead of being battle for
the success of a republic whose constitu-
ton rested upon human slavery for cor
ner stone. Lincoln is painted as a tyran,:
Grant as a blockhead and butcher; the
Northern soldiers as nine-te nths OF them
cowardly mercenares. Sherman and
Sheridan are denounced as vandals: JEFF

Probable Indian Murder Near Charleston
On March % an Indian named Ruby and his
third wife. sister-in-law OF Chief Chico, returned
from Seattle, where they had been selling clans,
and stopped at the cabin of Tyee Peter, near
Charleston. and the woman called for Billy
Phillips to come out and protect her. Phillips
went out, but the woman did not state who or
what she wanted protection from. Both Ruby
and bis wife entered the cabin, where they re-
manned about half an hour. Both we're in q
state of intoxication, and had can containing
about halt a gallon of whisky. which they
stated they had procured in Sidney from "Mrs.
Billy. half Kanacker." When they left the
cabin they stated that they were going home.
About half hour later Ruby returned alone
and lay down on the door without saying any
thing Mrs. Phillips arose and went out to see
what had become OF Mrs. Ruby. She found her
dead body lying across their canoe. In about
foot OF water, with her head In the water ON
one side and her feet on the other. The un.
timely death was bewailed by the Indians all
night long with loud and mournful cries, very
much to the wonder and discomfort of neigh.
boring residents. An examination of the body
by daylight revealed cash on the forehead be-
tween the ewes, which had not been there when
she was in the cabin.

A few years ago while a workman at
Pueblo. Colo, was dressing a block Of
stone his chisel uncovered q hard con-
cre,ion near the surface Of the block.
Presently this concretion, which was
rounded on the back, dropped from the
cavity in which it rested, disclosing a
perfect model Of q human fee on its
under surface. every outline perfect,
unhurt and unmarked by the tool which
had dislodged it. The imprint in the
block WAS as perfect as the model on
the concretion, and many plaster casts
were taken from il by archs,ologists and
local curiosity seekers. Some Of these
casts found their way TO the museums
Of the learned societies OF Europe
where they created much excitemen,
and were the subject Of many debates.
