POsTMAsTERs WARNED
In the Postal Guide to Watch For the
Importation of Arms and Annmu- \
milton Into Mexico.
Special to the Herald.

San Antonio, Texas, June 15.-Post-
masters are warned in the current is
sue of the Postal Guide, which is just
out, to watch the importation of arms
and ammunition into the state of So
nora and the territory of Lower Cali
fornia through the United States
mails. The Mexican government has
notified the postal department that
such importation is unlawful at pres
ent owing to the fact that attempts
have been made to start revolution
against the Mexican government in
these states.
From time to time rumors of at
tempted revolutionary movements
started in this city Some time ago
mysterious individual, calling himself
Knowles, attempted to enlist United
States soldiers whose terms had eX-
pired in an expedition which promised
good rewards He declined to be
more specific and was supposed to
contemplate some kind of filibuster-
ing expedition The Secret Service
ed. Mexico is happily too strong now
for revolutions, but there will probab:}
ly always be sporadic talk of Mexi4
can revolutions.

The writer was glad to meet Capt.
w. H. CASTOR while in Palestine last
week. He is one of the few remain
ing members of Hoods famous bri-
gade. Soon the last of them will
have answered here" to the last roll
call, but they will live in history as
long as the English language shall be
spoken. Capt. CASTOR left this county
nearly forty years ago, since which
time he has made Dallas his home.
But few of his old associates are now
living here, but their descendants are
here to bring the memory of other
and brighter days around us.
We hope that the good roads propo-
sition will not be permitted to die a
natural death, but that out of the null
titude of suggestions and councils that
that is material will sug-
gest itself to the earnest considera-
ton of our lawmakers.

showing conclusively that the people
enjoy such entertainments minus the
cost. Col. Balm was the principal at

lectures. He is one of the best speak
ers before the public. The program

IceIand's Elder Ducks.

In Iceland on certain islands, near
Reikiavik, the elder duck is raised il
systematic manner. 1t is really more
of small goose than duck, being sc
independent of fish and animal food as
to be able to support itself by grazing
on seaweed at the bottom of the sea al
a considerable depth. 1t is a splendid
diver, being as much at home under
the water as on the surface The great
value of the elder ducks down is well
known, and, owing to the birds tend
ency to pull out such large quantities
for lining it's nest that it leaves its
lower breast almost bare when it is
setting, there is no difficulty in get.
ting a good supply of these feathers
without destroying the birds. In Ice.
land it is strictly guarded against in.
trusion. The inhabitants consider it a
crime worse than stealing deer in Scot.
land for any person to shoot an elder
duck.
