The San Antonio Express says that
the attention of the United States
Marshal Ware has been called to the
fact that band of several hundred
Mexican outlaws and fanatics have
crossed into Mexico from Preside
county, Texas, and that they are being
pursued by force of Mexican troops.
The band is expected to cross to this
side of the Rio Grande to avoid being
captured. The object of the marauding
expedition is supposed to be to pillage
and to commit lawless acts against
peaceable settlers of Mexico. The
band is largely composed of followers
of the alleged Santa Teresa.

 For the stability and righteousness of our government NC arc accustomed to think WIG must pin our faith on the country paople who live near to ns- turei heart, writes Mrs Lyman Ah. bolt i'll The Ladies Bome Journal, the first of series of Peaceful Valley papers, which picture life ill an ideal rural community. But how many cf them, she says, seem to have learned anything noble from her? Her beauty docs not refine them, her honesty does not incite them to thoroughness, her free hand.dness does not inspire them to generositg--they become narrow and sordid in tho midst of grandeur and lib erality. They imagine there can be nothing iu life bot work or play, toil or rest, and they feel a contempt for those whe play and rest, They have never learned to mingle work and play, toil and rest in due proportion, and they cease to find any pleasure ill life unless they abandon work altogether. Like tue tired woman who wrote her own eEi. taph, they fancy heaven q place where they can do nothing forever and ever
 This view of life makes loafers i'll the village as it makes them in the cities. When a different spirit has found room to grow, new order of living prevails. Life becomes something more than slow grinding of the mill more than burden, to be endured only be- cause it cannot be at will laid down. It becomes luxury as well as necessi- ty. Individuals combine, not for their own advantage, but to multiply bene- factions, and as strength increases by its right use, the attainment of one worthy and ambitious advantage is only the suggestion and achievement of an- other t'

The street parade showed two special features. The humani- 1arian could not have been Ill pleas ed with the condition of the horses, which are rounded, fat and full Of life. The other thing was the clean liness and bright appearance of the
 
 wagons, in all. parade more bright, attractive and more worthy of remembering than any such that has visited Cincinnati in years. The grand entry at the circus is thing of beauty. full of glittering banners, lovely women aRd handsome men. The wardrobes are beautiful, with out cheap gorgeousness, and the colors show as bright as q rainbow. So great was the crowd that the circus tent was filled plumb to the apex tho opening performance, Not only was every seat occupied, but standing room was all taken and the boys climbed upon the tent poles because there was no place else to get.
 "The management had every thing so we'll arranged. however, that the show proceeded to the delight of all, without any hitch or inconvenience except what was necessarily caused by the terrific thunder storm, when the rain came down in torrents. The management had been forced to stop selling tickets for the first per tornlance. The crowd showed it's tion of nearly every act by it's repetition.
 The com bination of performers and artists in the great Hummel, Hamil- ton and Sells shows is one that is hard to snrpass in any circus,
