Negotiations for Return Of Captured Flss.
Arouses . Warlike Spirit.
Guadalajara, Mex, March 6.-Almost
. warlike spirit is being aroused among
the people Of Mexico by the coming Of
Messrs. Bruce. Stone ana Pierce, Of Bos-
ton. to enter into negotiations with the
Mexican government for the return of
the flags captured by the Mexican troops
during the war Of 1S47. The newspapers
Of the republic are indulging in very
intemperate language regarding the vis-
1t Of these gentlemen, and they are de-
nouncing America and Americans in
most incendiary language. going SO far
as to demand Of the United States, at
the cannon's mouth If necessary, a re-
turn Of all the territory taken from
Mexico.
They specify California, Colorado.
Nevada, Utah, Arizona. New Mexico,
and Texas as the property which has
been stolen" from this country. So
strong is the sentiment against Ameri-
cans that women are openly insulted in
the streets and stores. and If their es-
corts resent the offense they are
dragged off to Jail and fined.

The Bay window.

1.-The Parson," I'm Nick's Monthly.
Wandering about his parish the parson
found bay window that was a perfect
satisfaction. Ii was quite large. perfectly
square and exposed TO the south. Up one
corner and along the ceiling wandered a
hoya full of its unique flowers. There were
a couple of singular cacti; both were more
than six feet high and one was full of pink
tubular flowers. At once the parsons mind
ran back over "a few years, when as a
young soldier, he was doing duty on the
borders of New Mexico. y vision OF miles
of sand. bare except for cactus and sage
brush, rose TO his mind; OF murderous

There is no one style OF hairdressing that
prevails in the world of fashion, for IL has
finally come 10 pass that in the matter OF
the couture few intelligent cultivated wom-
en- follow any universal mode or iron rule
in the arrangement of their hair. but they
are governed solely by their own particular
cast of courtenance and their individual
fancy. As a result n medley of graceful
and becoming styles of couture is noticed
at any fashionable evening gathering that
is not infrequently quite an artistic study.

back OF the head is popular with many

1t have been decided in solemn conclave
that it was absolutely necessary to do
something to raise money for the church
There were bills that had to be met, and
something must be done at once All of the
ordinary methods were exhausted, and the
grab-bag the oyster supper, the pound
party and the cake bazaar had lost their
charms; at all events they would not go
unless supplemented by something brand
new. And this brand new business was
what bothered us.
Finally some one suggested a poster

hands of a committee, who arranged a nice
little programme, under which was an
