Pretty Romance OF Southern Girl.

Mrs Thomas Smales died in Orange,
n. j., Saturday, from the effects OF a
bullet which she carried in her sku.i
since early life. Her maiden name
was Miss Frances Dayton, and she
was daughter of wealthy Virginia
parents. Her beauty won for her
many admirers, one o. them, Thomas
Smales. whom she loved above all
Others. Among the rejected suitors
was a Southern lad, who, being re-
pulsed in his advances, shot her IN
the head All efforts to locate the
ball proved futile. Miss Dayton
studied telegraphy and then took a
course in medicine in order to treat
herself. She finished her medical
studies in Berlin and went to Lon
don, England, to practice. Her lover
was still true to her and although his
family had removed TO Australia he
kept up correspondence with her.
He returned at length to the United
States and established himself in the
Photographic business in Brunswick,
Ca He prospered greatly and sent
for his intended. She crossed the
water and they were married in 1882.
She devoted herself to charitable
work and founded the first training
school for nurses in all the South,
also hospital at Brunswick The
bullet in her head, however, still
troubled her and about a year ago
she came north to visit friend at
Orange, n. j.. with the hope Of gain
ing her health. All efforts proved
futile and she gradually wasted
away.

IN Southern California, horde of
vagrants left the line of the Santa
Fe Railroad at Monrovia, and fol-
lowed the line Of the Southern Pa
citic. This action was caused by the
threat of the Santa Fe Company to
ditch their trains rather than haul
these tramps across the desert
There is a valuable hint here for the
railroads. Their submission to the
trespass Of loads Of loafers upon their
trains is caused by the fear of injury
to their property. The tramps
threaten, if not allowed to ride free,
to ditch the trains Why should
not the railroads take a hint from
the tramps? Dtching trains is a
game that two can play at. If the
companies were 10 run occasional
trains Of empty box and tiat-cars
while the ''indust: ial army" is on
its way, and offer no opposition 10
their heing seized the train would
soon be loaded with vagrantS. When
a favorite grade was reached, the
engine and caboose could be cut off.
the train crew abandon their posts
and the train allowed TO run down
the grade At some point on the
grade where the train would be run
ming about sixty miles an hour, a
missing rail might ditch the train
and put an end TO some scores OF
worthless yagabolds. This, or course,
is very wicked, but is very much bet
ter than having revenge'ul tramps
ditch passenger trains. and put an
end to the lives OF honest men. This
project is an expensive one, and
would cost the company something
/ for smashed freight cars. But after
a few such accidents" TO trains

The Mexican reyOlut OniSt is very
like a ward hummer in politics. At
one time he belongs to one party; at
other times he belongs to other par
ties, and he is used and distrusted
alike by all parties 1t is announced
that Catarino Carza. who was at the
head Of the guerilla war on the lower
Rio Grande a year or two ago, indig-
nantly and contemptuously repels
the allegation that he instigated the
present disturbance on the Mexican
side of the upper Rio Grande. Mr..
Cara declares that he is in regular
business in Costa Rica-his regular
business probably being that of a
border revolutioniSt. However that
may be, it is the duty Of the United
States officers, of all grades, to do all
in their power for the suppression of
the periodical bushWhacker uprisings
on our southwestern frontier.

Mr.. STEAD says that when an

cradle scion of British nobility, in
stead Of eulogizing her we should
point at her the finger of scorn. Mr..

for the finger of scorn, providence so
