The oldest town in Texas, and it is be- lieved in the United States, is Ysleta, situated on the Rio Grande, and near 51 Puso, the chief town in the county of that nume. It has a population of 2,500 souls. The place is one of peculiar interest, alike from its age, its people, its archi- its agriculture, and its general product; It is a well established h torical fact that a Spanish military ex- plorer, named Corando, visited the town in 1540, and fcund it then a populous and prosperous civilized Indian community, Te wans immediately followed by the Franciscan friars, who erected a church and established schools. Ysleta is believed to have been a con- siderable center of population_centuries before the visit of Corando. It is not a little curious, considering the advance of civilization from Europe,that the same ruce of peoplo exists in the town today as existed 350 yours ago, and that they are engnged in the same agricultural and mechanical pursuits as their fore- futhers at that period, and for ages be- fore, repository. e Go East, Young Man, Go East.

You Cannot Catch Him N « se He Has 4,000 The fly hns some advantage over a man. For instance, he has n pair of double compound cyes, and with them them he can see in any direction or in all directions at once without for an in- stant turning his head, says the Chicago Herald, pping Be- yes. s have 4,000 distinet faces, and all of them have direct communica- tion with the brain, so that if a man comes along on one side of him and a lump of sugar on the other he will be able to watch both of them and stay for the sugar so long as it issafe on account of the man, When he sees he can get one and dodge the other, that is exactly what he does, and he does not have to twist his neck in two trying to keep track of the opposite object. The fly is particular about the air he breathes, He hasn’t a very big mouth, and his lungs are small in proportion to his body, but he is particular what he puts info them, Good green tea, such as the by grocers sell for $1, steeped pretty strong and well sweetened, will kill as many flies as drink it. And they will drink of it. Tt is estimated that a “pound of tea and two pounds of sugar will rid a room of flies within ten days—that is, a small room. Flies ave voracious eaters. They do not care so much what they eat as when they eat it. They are particular about regular meals. They do not eat long at a time nor much at a time, but they eat often, Careful observe st of the s have stated that o common house-fly wiil eat 43,200 square meals in twelve hour One female fly will produce 20,000 young ones in a sin- gle day, and they will develop so rapidiy as to increase two hundred fold in weight in twenty-four hours, Scientists have never been able to tell how a fly walks on the ceiling: or rather, they have never been able to agree about it. Al of them have told, but no two are alike in their explanation. Some say the fly has an air pump in each of its numerous feet, and that he walks up there by creating a vacuum in his instep and aliowing the pressure of the air to sustain him. Others think he carries a minute bot- tle of mucilage around with him and lubricates his hoofs with it, so that he can stay as long as he wants to on nny surface, no matter what the attraction of gravity may have to say about it. Between these two schools of thought you may take your choice. el A Billion Dollars, If you were to eat a penny cake evecy second for 42,800 years, you would have a bill of $1,000,000,000 to" puy the baker. Don't try it. A billiondollars stacked up in a single column would make a piie 1,404 miles high. If the dollars were taken up in the air and tkrown to earth in a shower, they would cover an area of more than half a mile square. The weight of $1,000,000,000 is equal to that of 41,645 men. It would pay the salaries of 20,000 presidents of the United States, and sup- port the royal family of Great Britain for several years. Placed edge to edge $1,000,000,000 in bills would carpet an area of 8.7 square miles, with a liberal fraction left over for repairs. Laid in line lengthwise they would form a belt 3.0625 inches wide and 114,289 miles long, that wouid o around the earth nearly five times and reuch half-way to the moon. A billion dollars in paper money would make, if spun togother in one largesheet and then cut up into pieces of the proper size, gowns for 127,867 women, or dresses for 383,60i children, It would pay for the education of 250,- 000 children from the kindergarten to and through college, and buy a city lot apiece for 50,000,000 persons—nearly the entire populution of the United States. The Western Persuader. Philadelphia Record: The western method of dealing with a mob, illus- trated by a Califorma gentleman at Kunsas City the other day, no doubt has its advantages, The enraged populace thought that the Californian, who was traveling with two pretty young girls, was Schweinfurth, a blasphemous [ree lover from Illin whose specialty is the abduction of innocent meidens, When the crowd un- dertook to attack the object of their mistuken wrath he backed against a wall, unlimbered a ponderous Colt’s revolver and said: *'I am Mecartney, of California, and these my daughters, Pearl and Meda, Keep off, now, or LIl fill you fuilof lex Thereupon there was a prompt di sion of the erstwhile bloodthivsty It can only be surmised how wtney would have fared if he had been some mild-mannered verson from the effete cast, proud of his culture and ignorant of the persuasive eloquence of a cocked revolver. Al g Sud Results of Early Piety. Snyder, the caleulating barber, made another startling computation to the hairless reporter of the Philadelphia Record. *“*The average - bald-headed man,’ said he, “has at least ten square inches of bare scalp. I fondle at least twenty of these shiny pates a day, and in a year the number reaches 7,300, 1f all the barbers of Philadelphin fondle an equal number of bald heads, then the number would reach 8,760,000, If this vast expanse was stitched together it would make a skating rink four miles square. Now, you see that man with tho thick, curly head of hair sitting down in the next chair. Well, at one time his whole family was bald, and, de- spite the fact that he has plenty of hair now, he was bald himself onee.

From the same causes four hundred and ninety-six passsengers were injured. This s a record which com- pares very favorably with the number of futal aceidents and injuries to persons in the streets of London during the same period, and it also stands well beside that of the railway system of any other country. It should be stated, also, that for every passenger killed or injured in Great Britain, the railway companies have to pay compensation on & far heavier scale than exists in other coun- tries, " versation.

Most of them are for runawny slaves, and elaborate des- criptions of their appearance, togetner with their principal hubits, are always given. “Inone whore 840 reward is offered for information that will lead to the capture of one *“Tom,” after describing his personal appearance, place of birth former masters and time of purchase by present owaer, it says: **He.is not ver; black, but of yellow complexion; his fingers on the right hand crooked rd the palms it was oceasioned hy a burn when young; and squints with one of his eyes.” When closely examined he very much, and it'is supposed he has a pass from his brother, who is free. His name is Ciesar. It is likely he is in the neighborhood of Mr. Ormes’, on the Southwest branch, as he has or had a wife there, He was inclined to the Methodist for some time and has gone without exhorting. Another, under the head of ‘“‘Sales” “A boy and a girl about twelve years of age, ulso two working horses, two feather beds and some household furniture,” The first page of the Centinel is given up to general news und advertisements, while the entire second is a report of congressional proceedings.

Spolintions during the former war for which she has formerly ac- knowledged herself responsible have been refused to be compensated for, but on conditions affecting other claims in no wise connected with them. Yet the same practices are renewed in the pres- ent war and are already of great amount. On the Mobile our commerce passing through the river continues to be ob- structed by arbitrary duties and vexa- tious searches. Propositions for ad- justing amicably the boundaries of Louisiana have not been acceded to. Inroads have recently been made into the territories of Orleans and the Mississippi, our citizens have been seized and their property plundered, and this by regular officers and sold of that government. I have, therefore, found it necessary to order our troops on that frontier to protect our ens and to repel by arms any similar aggressions in future.” The Washington zotte of November 22, 1824, calls General Jackson, who is spoken of in other papers of that date as a probuble presidential candidate, ‘“u political bite,” and adds: **"Tis true he never asks for an office and, Mr. Adams will please take notice, never declines one.” The Gazette recommends to the veoplo of the United States for national nomination Wiiliam H. Crawford. In a prominent place on the first page appears the notice that ‘“‘General Lafayette, we understand, will arrive in the city tomorrow morning by the steam- boat from Fredericksburg and receive the its of the citizens from 2 to 3 o’clock at Gadsby’s hotel.” The Georgetown Columbian of 1827 publishes *‘twent, maxims to be married by. ndcr ingle gen- tlemen.” “The fivst is pretty hard on women, but it is undoubtedly true, sub- stantially: I never knew a good ‘ollow in all my life that was not in some way or other the dupe of women. One man is an ass unconsciously, another with his eyes open, but all that are good for any- thing are saddled and bridled in some way and at some time or other. If a good fellow drinks (your best perhaps won't drink very much now,) but if he does drink, ten to one it is because he is out of humor with some woman. If he writes what cun he write about but woman? If he games why is it but to get money to lavish on some woman. For all courage, wit, ardor, vanity, good temper and all other good qualities that he possesses woman keeps an open market and can engross them wholly. Buu for all this, and though they are the plagues of our lives, we must have them.” In all the papers published prior to 1800 the name of Georgetown is spelled with a hyphen, thus, George- Town. After that date the hyphen seems to have been dropped. The oldest paper found was the Commercial Gazette, published at New London, bearing date September 10, 1790. This contains four sheets and sixteen columns, and is printed on excellent paper with large readable type. The old style s, which s0 resembles the present f, is used en- tirely. A good deal of its news is for- eign, whole columns being given to Lon- don, Toulon and other cities of England and the continent.

Her mamma never saw any one—simply #at in her own little piazza, where none were allowed to venture all day, As she told him her simple story of how lonely she was, and how ill muama was, her clear eyes looked into his with such confidence that his heart went out to her.

When he turned on his walk back to his own hotel he had her promise to meet him at the far spring on the next day. He met Sprigeins. Spriggins looked at him with a curious smile. He had always hated Spriggins, and in his smile at this moment there was some- thing particularly unpleasant as Sprig- zins remarked: **Nice bit of woman that, eh, old boy?

Tt cannot be said too often that thero is no basis for the belief thut somewhere theve exists a sublimated English lan- guage, peefect and impeceable. writ Brandor Mathews in Harper’s Monthly. This is the flawless id; to which all artists in style strive vainly to attain, whether they are Englishmen or Amer- icans, Australians or Canadians, Irish or Scotch. But nowhere is the speech without stain spoken by manin his daily life—not in London, where cockne abound, not in Oxford, where university slang is luxuriant and wheve pedantry flourishes.

The speech of the people in the mouth of the scholar, that is the abso- lute ideal which no man can find hy travel, and which every man must make for himself by toil, avoiding alike the tendency of the people toward slouching innecurdcy and the tendency of the scholur toward academic frigidity.

RECRUITING sOL S, The Marvelous Work of Li Kinzie at Pine Ridg Writing from Pune Ridge, the Washington Star, George I, Hax dotuils the progress of the work of en listing Indians in the army: On May 12 lnst Kinzie of the £ ntenant First Lieutonant John ghth United States in- fantry, arvived at Pine Ridge agency, and with malice aforethought ostab- lished thereat an infantry recruiting rondezyous, Accompunying Lioutenant Kinzie were th non-commissioned officers, one musician and one plain, un- adorned private. The rendezvous was established in a bunch of the i Sibley tents located just across the road from the agency officers and within easy reach of those “Indians who failed to se- cure what they wanted from Captain Penney, the agent, and who hud to look elsewhere for the desire of their respect- ive hearts or stomachs, Vigorous efforts were at once made to impress the aboriginal mind with the idea that nothing could be more desirable than intimate and oath- bound relations with the infantry arm of the sérvice. Now to the Indian there was nothing the matter with the infan- try “army” the difticulty arose because of the infantry “leg.” In other words, the Indian does not care to walk, and he will, for aslong a_period as possible, discourage any and all efforts in the di rection of popularizing pedestrianism It is porfectly nat iral for an Indian to desire to be a soldier, but his finer feel- ings rebel when he sees before him ¢ s the United tes army con- cerned—only an enlistment servico of five y li the rights, privi- leges, immunities and recompense of apr oldier in the rear rank of an infantry company. When an Indian de- sires to proceed anywhere he catches and mounts u pony. It may be that his immediate objective point is less than half a mile away, while at the same time it will take ten minutes of runni and yelling to cateh the animal, but this is not considered by the Indian. That horse or some other one has to be caught, and the warrior then proceeds in a manner befitting his condition as one of the lords of creation, INDAINS DO 0 BE“WALK SOL- 80 h was one of the that stood in This love for horse great stumbling blocks L eutenant Kinzie's w one. Jocularly (who were out on recruiting dropped mysterious hints s the *walk soldiers,” ~ even going so far 8 to intimate that the infantry, when on march, reied all its supplies—including Sibley tents and stoves. Such humurous falsehoods as e were promptly nailed, although did no real damage The Indian s00n came to see the joke, but he did not enlist. In vain was it explained to him by Licutenant Kinzie, through the medium of Interpreter Wells, that the ked but little in a its movements rried out with the assistance of railronds: in vain wasit trathfully stated that the infantry ‘0 is easior than the cavalry; in vain was the expen- e funds for recruit cateh- garettes and hard bread, sery ing—tobucco, All was in vain. More potent than all other opposition combined was the fact thata troop of cavalvy had been enlisted at Rosebud agency. The friendly Ogalallas, whose homes are on Pine Ridge, could not un- derstand the discrimination which made cavalrymen of Brules, who were hostile last winter, and infantrymen of those who stood by the government. Several other people, not Indians, wondered why this was done, but they never found out. Ttis possible to raise a troop of cavalry at Pine Ridge at any time and in two or three hours, but the infantry ide at that place is entirely lack- ing in feasibility. Several of the chiefs and head men have done and are doing all in their power to aid the reeruiting officer, but they have not yet succeeded in overcom= g the generally ad sentiment pre- valent among the young men. Red Cloud and one or two other of the more prominent leaders ave opposed to re cruiting of any kind beeause the taking awny from the reservation of so many young men must necessarily les somebody s influence in tribal affairs, These antique cumberers of the ground could not prevent cavalry enlisument but they ean, assisted by circumstan a ready referred to, trip up any infantry rendezvous. No one, uniess conversant with the circumstances, can begin to estimate the amount of patience ex- pended by Lieut, Linzie, Captain Bailey, who is here with his company—D of the Eighth infant and who is in command of the camp, has also labored hard to turn asection of the red man from the error of his ways, but 80 far without apparent results, Captain Day of the Ninth cavalry has had a similar exporience. He has been trying to help Lieutenant Kinzio, If you want an Indian to do anything you ‘must feed him. That does not necossarily meun that the Indian at Pine Ridge is not being fed, (his rations are now ample), but it does mean that the must necessarily be what are locally de nominated **feasts,” ut which heef, hurc bread, coffee and sugar are the main featu The war department says it wants infantrymen from the Sioux, but it does not authorize the expenditure of anickel for the only means that e bring about the enlistments it app: ently desives. Suddenly and without premonition, from out this darksome cloua of non-en- listment, the sky wassuddenly illumined, but fora while'no one knew just what had happened. There was a good deal of excitement in the vicinity of Licuten- ant Kinzie's headquarters and much mysterious commotion. The Indinn had been seen to enter the tent and to go from thence to the surgeon’s office; then return to headquarters once more. This civeumstantinl evidence wus soon after ward supported by an unqualified stato ment, officiully promulgated, to the ct that one Murshul Hand, about nineteen years of uge, of brunette com- plexion, sound in wind and limp and guaranteed to be gentle, hud en- listed us a soldier in compuny I, Second United States infantry. Then the ens tiro settloment rejoicod and was excoeds ingly glad. The recruit rejoiced also, Nobody knows where he got the mates rial, but he became so very glad thad some of the agency police gathered him in and detained him until his jubilation had givon away to griof of the most dee® pressing description. That was Lieus tenant Kinzie's opportunity, but he failod to take advantago of it. Ho should have at once reported to department headquarters that the company was full. 4 t report would have resulted in his g ordered to return to Omahu with company.” Perhaps it wus just as well that the report was not made; some commanding officers frequently fail to appreciate humor in their subordinates, — Company I languished in the guard house for some two or three days before Captain - Penaey, the military agent hore, discovered its identity, then it was turned over to its communding offi= cor to bo properly reproved. Licutens ant Kinzie had o vealizing sense of the fact that atan finds come mischief still For idle handy to do," and having no employment for tho re- cruit around the rondezvous, he cone sented to n business arcangement by which M all Hand obligated him- solf to feed tho horses of Captain Day and Lieutenant Preston of the Ninth cavalry, the private to recoive for these extra ~ services large monetary compensation from the officers mentioned. On two separate and distinet occasions did Private Hand sit on a eracker box near Captain Day's tent whilo that distinguished soldier put up a kindergarten object-lesson in horse feeding, but the instruction ail went for naught, the private failing unanimously to put in an appearance. Captain Day expeets him around when the paymaster makes his next appearance. Since Privato Huand broke his cons tract he has occupied most of his spare time (which amounts to as much as twenty-four hours in each day) with the health-giving and appotito-bestirring game of bascball. Engaged in this amusement ho has been known to exe pend more muscutar force in ono hour | than would be ealled into play by the + feeding of every horse within five miles of the ngency. s prive ileged cha is the only Ogalallla infantryr in the world, and unless some remarkablo mental upe heaval takes place there never will bo another oc Continuous and strenuoud g efforts have been made to secure for him acompanion in arm that when Licutenant Kinzie says “'two’s right” he will not necessarily hive to obey his own command; but failure has marked each und every attempt. Adjutant General Kelton unconsciously got off a joke on Licutenant Kinzie when he oflicially notified that gentleman that he had failod to make proper returns of th strength of company I for the month of,. May. The follg from a copy 17, 1891: Lieutenant Col. Kinzie, of the forty- ond infantry, vegistered at the wap department today.
