Highwaymen in Mexico.

.I had an adventure with Ramon
Ortiz, the notorious Mexican bandit,
down in New Mexico in 1875" said
Dick Little to a Globe-Democrat re-
porter. ssOrtiz and his blood-thirsty
lieutenant, Manuel Grijalva, were the
terrors of Arizona at that time, and

gers four heavily armed men, who
were escorting $4,000 worth of
bullion to the railway. We had pro-
ceeded about ten miles when Ortiz and
his gang swooped down upon us. 1t
was seldom indeed that they let SO rich
a prize slip through the mountains
without making a try for it. The
driver was expecting trouble and did
not wait for second command, but
rcined up at once, and sat OH his box
as unconcerned as though waiting for
a passenger.
ssThe captain of the guard turned
to me and said: We're going to
make fight for it. The odds are
against US. If you want to surrender
be quick about it, Before l could
reply volley came crashing through
the coach, slightly wounding two
men. We returned the fire and
dropped three of the robbers. They
drew back little. but kept on shoot
ing, and we continued to make reply.
In ten minutes one of the guards was
dead, another disabled, and every one
of us had been touched. We had five
dead robbers 10 our credit aud felt en-
couraged to keep up the fight. Five
minutes later the captain of the guard
was killed and Ortiz got slug of
metal In his shoulder that disabled
him. His gang then drew off. The
driver had sat unconcerned through it
all. He now called to know if he
should proceed. sWait minute. re-
piled one of the guard. He slipped a

At Parting.

II thou dost bid thy friend farewell,
But for one night though that farewell
may be,
Press thou his palm with thine. How canst
thou tell
How far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead his feet
Ere the tomorrow come? Men have been
known
10 lightly turn the cover of the street,
And days have grown
To months, and months to tagging years
Before they looked in loving eyes again;
Parting at best is underlaid with tears,
With tears and pain.
Therefore, lest sudden death should come
between,
Or time, or distance, clasp with pressure
true
The hand of him that goeth forth, unseen,
Fate goeth, tool
Yea, find then always time to say
Some earnest word between the idle talk,
Lest with thee, henceforth, night and day,
Regret should walk.

The society of the capital that is
Immediately before our eyes is NOV
ing and breathing picture of the life
cf tie country. 1t is essentially re-
publican. The men and women who
compose it come from all ends of the
land. It's chief interest lies in the
fact that it is not like the society that
is to be found at courts or in the
charmed circles of those who hedge
in kings. Here we have the people
doing as best they may what is done
by the select of Europe. They may
do it crudely, inelegantly, even bois-
terously, but will any one who has
participated in their pleasures say that
they do not do it generously and with
a certain nobility of kindliness, that,
unfortunately for them, is a stranger
to many who look at them through
cynical lorgnettes?
From the Presidents dwelling down,
the houses of the official people who
care to perform the social function are
open to the public. 1t is absurd, of
course, 10 speak of the social inter-
course carried OH on such a basis as
involving in any but the slightest de-
gree the elements of selection or of
exclusiveness. There was time not
many years ago when few persons
were invited TO the official receptions
at the White House, aud placed behind
barrier of receiving women and
sofas. 1t was pleasant for those who
were thus chosen, and they were pee
pie who helped to make Washington
unique aud peculiar; but the great
Washington world, the really interest
ing and characteristic specimens of
humanity, the representatives Of the
progressive citizenship Of the country.

The Gorgeous Staff Officer.

On the occasion of military gath
ering in Washington, during the adj
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland, con-
siderable party of citizens and members
of the militia had an arrangement to
call on the President at certain hour.
There was goodly number Of ladies
and gentlemen. When the party was
announced Mr.. Cleveland got up from
his chair at his desk and, swinging
around, sat upon its corner, with
cigar between his fingers which he had
been smoking, and from which the
smoke still curled up. He put out his
land as the first of the party reached
him, without remark, and still half
sitting upon the corner of his desk, he
reached out his hand and gave him
pump handle shake. This was re-
peated as fast as the company could
pass by--a single up-and- down stroke.
He said nothing until member of
Governor Gray's staff, who presented
himself in all that gorgeous array of
regimentals which only staff officer
who never saw much service can put
on and which is probably the most
grotesque free show the country be-
holds. appeared in front of Mr.. Cleve-
land. The President ran his eye up
and down the man, and pleased ex-
preston came into his face, which had
been blank until that moment, and he
remarked as he took his hand: tsGot
'em all on, Colonel?"

New Way to Fertilize.

In Florida, where the soil is mostly
sand, the leisurely but thrifty far
mer has his ground lightly stirred in
his groves about every two weeks,
with great benefit to the crops, even
when no commercial fertilizer is used.
1t is claimed that this surface cultiva-
tion checks evaporation, keeps down
weeds and puts the soil in condition
to ABSORB air and water readily. This
accords with the well-known saying:
ssTillage is manure" Until the list
is increased Of plants that may profit
ably be sown for shading and green
mannring the soil, can anything better
be proposed Than frequent cultivation
at seasonable times? ?"-[New York

Resistance TO Cold.

The death of ceutenarian Italian in
Norfolk town the other day, whose
checkered life history included service
in Napoleon's ''Grande Armee' during
the disastrous Russian campaign of 1879,
recalls attention to the fact that Of all
that host the Neapolitan contingent,
1000 strong, withstood the cold and
privation much better than the other di-
visions, recruited as these mainly were
frcm Northwestern and Central Europe.
So interesting and unexpected was this
phenomenon, put on record by Baron
Larrey, head of Napoleon's army medi-
cal staff, that the psychologists and
hygienists of the time hazarded many
explanations of explanations revived
ami checked during the Crimean CAM
paign forty years ago, when the Italian
regiments of the allied forces were found
to suffer less from the Russian winter
than their French or even British COM
rades.
The view taken of the fact was this:
That the Italians, born and reared in the
sunny south, retained so much sScaloric"
in their systems that their supply OF it
continued long after their fellow soldiers
from less favored climes had used up
theirs. In support of this the experience
of other Italians was invoked who, as
teachers or artists, had settled in Eng
lish or Scottish educational centers, and
whose power of weathering the first
northern winter was much greater than
during the second and third, by which
time, it was contcnded, their supply of
sscaloIic" was exhausted and they were
fan to have recourse to the creature COM
torts for which at first they had posi-
tive repugnance.
Then, again, Italians in general, and
Neapolitans in particular, Injured to the
scanliest meals of macaroni and salad,
felt the starvation diet of the forced
marches much less than their French or
Teutonic comrades. The same must also
be said in the matter of clothing--ths
Neapolitans, even in abnormally cold
winters, content;ng themselves with an
artificial warmth in raiment and fuel
much below that to which the northern
races are accustomed. London Lancet.

Story Of the Jonah Mine.

Charles f. Danforth of Boise City,
Idaho, is at the Sherman House.

mining camp down there, between
Topaz and Squaw Creek. And it was

great partners in the camp, known
simply as Bill and Joe. You never

gether. Joe and Bill had claim
about mile from camp. Of al the
fellows in the camp they had the
worst luck. Their mine scarcely paid
their whiskey bill, to say nothing of
their losses at poker. The poor boys
were notorious for their bad luck.
s.Finally they concluded our camp
was Jonah for them and that they
would sell out and leave. OF course.
they couldn't sell such dead mine in
our region, SO they decided that Bill
should travel to parts where it had
never been heard of and endeavor to
unload the mine, while Joe should
stay and continue work. Before Bill
departed they between them fixed up
lot of the most monstrous and seduc-
tive lies ever dreamed of.

teeth, as it were, to snare the un-
wary, and his glowing description of
their mine very nearly landed pur-
chaser time or two Joe worked
away patiently at the NINE Finally
one day, about q week after Bill had

us to get him out without his seeing

weak, but on the road to recovery.

doorto tell us that supper was wait
