Oliff-Dwellera in Mexico. It seems there are still cliff and cave dwellers on earth. Lieutenant Schwatka, whose travels range from the perpetual ice of upper Greenboad to the •eemi tropical regions of Mexico. bas found a people hith- erto unknown. In the Mexican State of Chihuahua, the southeast neighbor of Texas, this Anstro•Amerioan explorer has just come neon a community of several thousands of the cave and cliff dwellers, a sun -worship. ing people, who had been supposed to be extinct a long time ago. Their former dwellings in New Mexico and Arizona have excited some interest; now we hear of she people themselves. They are described as a very dark -colored race and very amid— es, from the roaming ban& of Apaches, the cruelest of all the Indian'', they well might be—and on the approaeh of Sehwatka's mao these genuine aborigines fled to the .per- pandit:edit one, up which they went, to their high eaves, on long, notohed posts. They seem to be a harmless race, armed only with the primitive bow and arrow and a stone hatchet. That they ehonld have et - caped so long the prying observation onrav- elere may be dm to the fact that the greater part of the State of Chihuahua (Chee ate wa) in a high and dry barren region—a lofty, arid tableland, which gets little rain, and ie sought by few or no travelers. Its western part is very mountainous the Sierra Madre Tinges of the Mexican dordilleras running through it; and it is doubtless in the faces of these inaccessible cliffs that the homes of these cave-dwellere are found. When they reach their eaves they pull their pri- mitive ladders up after them. The Shake Ettoly Eardahipe.

Judge Reid fell on the ground insensible and Cornell'. son, with the cowhide in hie hand, walked down the main street: of Mount Sterling and heedfully told the horror-stricken people what he had done. The cowhiding was the first act of a trag- edy. The whole State was aroused. The indignation was intense and universal, and at no piece was it so strong as among Judge Reid's own people. Everywhere it wait felt that there was no alternative left the Judge ; there woe only one thing for him to do. He must kill Corneilison. Then began a mental struggle as terrtble as anything that the imagination of novelists has ever portrayed. No one who has not lived in that community loan realize the awful force of the public opinion to whioh Judge Reid was subjected. Everybody he saw advised him to slay his assailant; the men he met on the streets, the men who thronged his office, the members of his church, his legal friends and his boyhood companions. The writer of this saw him the day after the occurrence, and his office was filled with political allies brawny mountaineers with their trousers into their boots, who came down to help and advise the "jedge." It was a pitiable sight. Tne uncouth, though kindly, attempts of them loyal moluitain men, any one of whom would have laid ,dosvii his life for the man they all adored; the fierce wrath ,of more than one true friend who could with difficulty be restrained from avenging the wrong then and there with his own hands; and in the midet of them the stricken man with bowed head and white files listening with all his old-time courtesy to advice which he could nob take. He had aged years during the night of mental agony which had followed the dreadful degradation of the morning; all the light had left his eyes and when he talked it was like one speaking frone the grave._ "I oannot, I cannot," he cried, shaking his head, when a close friend told him for the hundredth time to kill 12i8 enemy. He hardly slept or ate for a week, aed then he told hie friends from all parts of the State to come and listen to his story and judge him by the facts. They gatheredin the old court -home one pleasant day in the 'early Spring to hear what he had to say.

Why Re Remains a Bachelor. A well-known citizen of Lincoln, who, al. though approaching thesere and yellow leaf, is a builder, and who promises to remain ID the same predicament until his poor, lisp- ing, stammering tongue is silent in the grave, gave a brief explanation of his cell- baoy to a smelt but oleo audience the other evening. "I have always had the most in- tense admiration for women," he said; admiration .that age could not wither nor custom stale, and thatis why I am going it alone. I am afraid that if I were to marry I would follow the traok trodden by so many admirere of women and eventually be known as a household tyranb, and perhaps worse.

Better to be somewhat bine yourself now and then than to make the life of another a long stretch of misery:" There are some strange philmo. phers in the world. What She Liked.

It will strike at almost any moving object—sometimes under oirourestanceswhich are fairly, ludicrous in their absurdity. R ii much more apt to follow. and take a moving bait than one which is left stationary, its curiosity seem- ing fairly to make away with all its prud- ence. If tbe bait is stopped in its motion, often then theannfiela will stop too, and stand motionless, with solemn visage and protrudingeyes, looking steadfastly at the object in question, and never offering to move as long its angler and .baib remain motionless. At the least motion of the latter it is very apt to dartrapon it. In cemmon with many of ite family, the snrifish for a time stands guard over the nest containieg its youthful progeny, and on such occasions will at once attack fiercely any fish or Boy object which approaches it. You may often 1388 it 881Z3 a bit of floating weed or a 'ileck which' comes by in the stream, and notice that it carries it away clear of the nest. returning at once to stand guard again. The gamin loves his ohidren ; indeed, there is nob in the whole fish family so strong a manifestation of the parental affection • as that shown by the sunfish. There is much more intelligence among fishes than most people think. One species of sunfish actually builds a house for its little ones, throwing up a very large and pronounced mound or flettened cone in the water. Over this it swims back and forth, fairly bristling with importance and pugnacity. At such a time it is the easiest thing to catch the sunfish, for it will run at any bait, lone he must; be a degraded man indeed who would kill even a sunfish under such oircums %noes. A HINT TO THE ANGLER. In clear running streams you will often see the sunfish fleshing across the shallows and riffles, a fish as bright and brilliant in colouring as any but the Wont, and possess- ing an iridescent splendor in the sunlighb which no trout can approach. The smaller fish play on the sandy reaches; you will take the largeat ones in Ander the bank where the water eddies around, deep and dark. Usuelly if the sunfieh Intends to bite, it will come with a rush, strike savagely, and play very strongly for a fish of its size. It has really very game .qual. ides, so that the angler who marts la at catching it is very apt to keep on, some- times killing more than he really should. I once knew two anglers to take 350 sunfish along the Ninnesoah River, in Kansas, in one day, their string being so long they could nob lift it clear of the ground when doubled over a pole. This is simply butch- ery, thy more especially as a peat many people do not like to be at the trouble of preparing so small a fish for the table and so allow most of the °etch to go to waste. It should be the ,case of the genuine and nobleminded angler not so much to ea tare a large number of fish 88 to rerekhe Orene, Accordtng to recent ofnetel Adviom the *QOM= of the Indian wheat crop is not nearly so bad AS lam been repartee!.
