Had a Real Good Time.

Two Aztec kids hardly over 10 years
elch, got to scrapping at o'clock last
night at the Santa Fe depot, as they
seemed unable to agree as to whether
Cap ain Cook or Queen Lii discovered
the Sandwich Islands. SO they sought
to settle the controversy d" by force of
arms" Not content with using their
fists, they sought to enliven the stu
alton with jack knives. They succeed
ed admirabl and in about three and
a half shakes of lambs caudle appen-
dage, one kid had lost half his teeth,
and the other chap had several long
cuts on the neck and shoulders.
At this crisis, an impromptu and en-
tirely voluntary arbitrator then ap-
peared in the person of Officer Hero d
who waited the fierce combatants up
stree: to the jug. The alcalde had
them before the stern bar of justice
esta manana, and after lecturing the
vainglOriOus youths on the error of
their ways, set time this evening for
a second edition of the lecture The
respective parents of the respective
youths appeared along with them, and
voluminou7ly assured the alcalde that
this would never, no never occur again,
and they soldered the asseveration
with an oath sworn by the spook of
TehuacteXtacOtlpe tlatlan.

Here Noah got his Pitch.

An English explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria. the locality in
which Noah dwelt. Here he found a
remarkable group of bitumen springs,
says the New York Journal
From these springs, he says, it is
probable that Noah obtained his supply
of material 10 'pitch it within and
without" In a basin, undoubtedly of
volcanic origin, a spring of warm
water bubbles up, and with the water
comes the bitumen or pitch, in aplast-
ic form, of the consistency of rather
moist putty; and the Arabs gather it
by simply scraping it off the surface of
the water with their bare hands aud
pressing it in panniers carried by pa
tient little dOnkeys, who then struggle
up the rocky sides of the basin and
take the material off to the boat
building yards, where it is used for
covering the boats and gOuphas, after
undergoing a certain refining process
The bitumen is continually rising,
but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with the stream very
little of it can escape, and it remains
floating On the surface of the water till
taken off by the Arabs. The water itself
tastes slightly of sulphur, is quite warm
and apparently charged with some
mineral which it deposits in its rocky
bed as it flows away Though bitumen
cannot pass from the basin, coating it
with lively lific color, which further
down the stream becomes a peacock
blue

CAPTAIN Bulls, oath Infantry, is one
of the most popular officers in the army,
and his promotion to be major and pay
master is bringing him many congra
tulations from all sides, including con-
gratulatory kilograms from General
Stanley, Frank 9. Armstrong of Wash
ington and others. The captain is
worthy man with an enviable record.
and his promotion is regarded as just
reward for distinguished services.
Major Bulls entered the service in
August, 1862, and took part in the bat
tie at Harpers Ferry, skirmish near
Centerville, Va, battle of Gettysburg,
Pa, and was almost continuously under
fire at Dutch Gap Canal, Va, for near
" three months. He was honorably
mustered out as captain of Infantry
in 1866.
He again entered the army as a
lieutenant in 1867, and was promoted
to the rank of captain in 1886 He was
breveted captain for gallant services
in action against Indians, at Remollna,
Mexico, " ay IS, 1873, and on the Pecos
river, Texas, April %, 1870. He was
breveted a maj or in 1890 for ''g 4llant
services in action against Indians near
Zaragoza, Mexico, July 30, 1876, AID in
action against Indians in the Burro
mountains, Mexico, May D. 1881"
Max Frost says of the major: "The
people of Texas, especially, will be
glad to hear of this gallant officers
promotion, for his name is house
hold word in that state. During his
service in the department of Texas.
from 1873 to 1881, he was almost con
tinuouslg in the field after Lipan and
Apache Indians and other marauders,
and finally, in May, 1881, he drove the
| last Indian from Texas, for which he
received more than a dozen cOmpli-
ments in orders, in special and general
reports, had the thanks of the hon
| orable legislature of Texas, and upon
being relieved from duty in that de-
partmeut was presented with two fine
| swords. one voted by the legislature oil
| the state and the other presented by
the citizens of western Texas for hi:
gallant and arduous services in protect
| ing their homes.
| major Bulls has been stationed in
| Santa Fe for about three years as agent
| of the Puebla and Jicarilla Indians
and his administration of the affairs OF
these Indians has been very thorough
and satisfactory. During his stay here,
he nd his family have made many
warm friends, who, while rejOicin G
with them on the majors promotion,
will keenly feel their departure for the
majors new station, which will prob
ably be Washington, d. c.

"What do l think about that propOs-

pert in the sporting line this morning.
THAT law if it passes will cut no ice.
They may fix the entrance fee at one
dollar to all the glove contests, but if
the reserved seat clause is not inserted
it won't amount to much. The ring
may be built in such position that it
can only be seen from certain seats and
an extra charge can be made for these
seats. OF course none OF the big fights
could be given for a one dollar admis-
sion fee and no one would attempt to
give fight under these stances
unless there was something else to make
up for the loss. My idea is that Dan
Stuart has started the towns in Nevada
bidding for the fight and this new bill
is the result of the rivalry between the
different towns. However | am salts
fed that the fight will take place in
Nevada
