Senorifa Monica TIED TO n Horse by Guer
rillas and Leff to Her Fate.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
There is one woman in this country
who rejoiced exceedingly at the triumph
Of our arms against the Spaniards.
This is the beautiful Miss Valencia
Monica, who is now living in san An
tonic, Tex.
She is an exile from the island OF Por-
to Rico, and now that the American
army il rapidly takng possession Of
the country this beautiful young lady
IS unable to express her Joy over the
prospect of returning TO her home. mo
doubt" she says, everything viii be
greatly changed but there is no other
spot on earth so lovely as our stand,
and IL will not be long under the reign
OF peace before the fields will yield rich
harvests and we viii all be happy
again"
Miss Monica's father is an officer in
the Cuban army, and in his last letter
to his daughter he expressed his inten-
ton OF accompanying General Miles
army. She has one brother slain In
battle and she has another who is with
General Gomes. Her father owned a
fine sugar plantation in Cuba, but the
family residence was on The island Of
Porto Rico, not far from the city Of
san Juan.
Miss Monica is the heroine OF the
most remarkable escape from the hands
of the merciless ~Spaniards. About a
year ago she was in Cuba, and in COM
pany with a family of reconcentradoes
she attempted to make the journey
across the country from the little inte-
rior plantation OF Palma to Santiago,
in the hope Of finding some opportuni-
~ at the latter place to escape to the
United states. An officer with a spark
of humanity in his bosom. touched by
the miserable condition of the unfor-
Inmates. furnished them with a pass
and assured the young lady that no
suldiers would harm them. They had
an old cart. in which they a loaded
a few articles OF clothing and a scant
supply of provisions. Miss Monica rode
an old donkey, which had been given
to her by one of the faithful negroes
on her fathers Cuban plantation. They
met several columns OF soldiers, who
did not modest them, and they were be
ginning to congratulate themselves
over their good fortune when one even
ing, Just as they were preparing 10
camp, a dozen or more Spanish guer.
rillas galloped up to the cart and over
turned Il. The young lady showed her
pass TO the brute who appeared to be
in command and made a piteous appeal
to him TO leave them undlsturDed she
might as well have talked to the tones
in the hills. The man could not read,
and. to add to the terror he had al
ready excited, Miss Monica discover
ed that the ~guerrillas were all very
drunk. They helped themselves to the
provisions found in the cart. The lead
er of the gang, after offering the young
lady a drink from his bottle, staggered
against her and made an attempt 20

Traffic at London Bridge.

From the New England Magazine.
1t is computed that about 100000 pedes-
TRANS and 1000 vehicles cross London
bridge every day. Each leaves behind a
little shoe leather or a little iron-just a
trife. But when the litter and dust are
added to these minute particles the whole
fills between three and four carts. The
most surprising fact OF all, however, Is
that the incessant traffic across the bridge
reduces to powder about 25 cubic yards
of granite every year.

The Cook county (Illinois) in- sane asylum has a killing ward" where patients hopelessly insane or incurable were given their qui- etus. A Kirksville, Mo, doctor wanted cadaver for purposes of dissection and applied to the asy- lum for one. He was informed that they could make him one to order and that if he would step into the killing ward" and make a selec- tion they would have the corpse ready for shipment in few days. True to agreement a body was re. ceived by the doctor few days thereafter and an examination dis closed the fact that death resulted from a blow on the head. The mat ter was reported to the authorities and an investigation is now in pro- gress. Such horrors as these never occur in the western country, but in the effete east, in the land of the gold bug.

4 Natural Wonder.

 To the careful observer there are Du nberless other evidences of the pres ence of glacial influences in the past but none IS more convincing than the tramp boulder that has finally settled down in the woods in the heart of En. glswood borough. There 1t sits, a tower. ing mass of rocks. weighing perhaps POO tons and resting upon three points which in themselves find purchase on fla rock that is part of and common to fhs character of rock which composes ,he palisades. But, strangely enough, and to the wonderment of geologists, the tramp boulder is red sandstone from the Jersey hills twenty five miles inland, and the pedestal IS etsmorphite or soft granite.
 Around this marvellous monument have grown trees that may perhaps be century old, and they have completely hedged 1t in, while the rock itself has stood where it stands to day for ,hous .nds of years.

Many papers that are advocating home rule for Arizona try to con vey the idea that all the other newspapers are unfriendly to the proposition. This is mistake. It is our belief, and we think the belief of many other newspaper men, that united effort will bring statehood with all its accompanying blessings. Let home rule go to the dogs and let us one and all pull long and strong for an enabling act.
