The recent exploits of the bandit Garza on the' Mexican border, which have given the Mexican and United States troops a great deal of annoyance, recall to old Californians the ae.ventures in this State of one of the meat daring highwaymen ever -known, says a San Diego letter to the New York Tribune. The name of Joaquin Murietta in the gold fever days was well known all along the Pacific Coast. This out - low was a Mexican. He was edufaled'ii the sfhool-erre lelution in Mexico, where the lino between rebel, robber, pillager and patriot bad been to a great extent obliter•at ed. He was accused of horse steal- ing by Californians and fled from the law•abiding community whore he had lived. He regarded him- self as a champion of his country rather than en outlaw. Of medium height, and somewhat slender in figure, he was extremely active and athletic, and no less graceful in movement than handsome in person. Long flowing hair of glossy black fell on his shoulders, and on his upper lip was a thin, silky mus tache. His manner was frank and •-eprdi•sl;-w•hi'ss voice- at Ivory' and •°of generous utterance, and though he was so youthful in appearance there was that about him which made him both loved and feared, and which impressed friend and stranger alike with profound respect. Thus was Joaquuin Marietta in 1855, when ho lived at Los Angeles, at the be- ginning of his desperate career. WAS ARRESTED AND FINED $15, Being in Charge of Deputy Sheriff Clark, who did not know tho pri- soner, Joaquin invited the officer to ort with hint to his house for the money. Clark had become obnox- ious to Murietta for his vigorous pursuit of the hand. On reaching an unirequented place the robber sudden!, turned upon the officer, and with, a smile said, "Accept the eornpliments of Joaquin, and drove his jeweled poinard to the hilt in Clark's breast. One evening not long afterward Joaquin was sitting at a monto table in a small town on the Feather River, when an Ameri- ean boastfully offered to bet $500 that ho would kill the scoundrel Joaquin the first time he met him. Carried away by one of hie dare- devil impulses, Joaquin sprang 'upon the table, and thrusting his pistol in the man's face cried : "I take the bet : Joaquin is be- fore !" Then tossing the corner of his -cape over his shoulder be strode out -of the room and rode away with some of his companions. While visiting in Los Angeles Joaquin heard that Deputy Sheriff Wilson. of Santa Barbara, intend to capture him dead or alive. The robber got up a sham fight between two In. diens in front of Wilson's Hotel. When the latter came out to sec the fight Joaquin rode at him and hiss- ing his own terrible name in Wilson's ear sent a bullet through the officers head and rode away. One evening Joaquin rode into a camp where twenty-six miners were ate at supper, and sitting sideways on his horse began talking. One miner recognized the robber and shouted : "That ie Joaquin. Why in the name of God don't your kill him 1" Spurring his horse, wibah ono bound he cleared the camp, to avail himself of a narrow coyote trail around the brow of the prebi• pice that everhung the canon. A shower of bullets greeted his re- appearance, but none touched him, as ho dashed up and along that dizzy path, waving his dagger and shouting defiance. Once passing a saloon the robber called fora drink, and was just lifting it to his lips when an American fired a shot that cut the plume of the brigand's hat. The drink was never taken, but Joaquin, after wounding the Ameri- can in the arm and another man in the abdomen, galloped away with- out a scratch. After three years of this bloody work Ally Joaquin's ba,nd the Cali- fornia Legislature authorized Harry Lave and twenty rangers to equip themselves for the capture of the robbers. THEIR TRAIL WAS FOLLOWED CLOSELY and the Mexicans were found in camp near Tejon Pass. Six of them were seated around a small. fire, where breakfast was cooking, while the seventh, he of the slender figure and graceful limbs, and large black eyes, and long black hair, a perfect Apollo, richly dressed, blooming in the pride of health and manly beau• ty, was washing down a superb bay horse at a little distance from the fire.. Joaquin was well known to the rangers, who dashed into the campbefore „they ,were„„dieer yered and succeeded in cutting the robbers off from their horses. Captain Lave rode up to the one standing by his horse and inquired whither they were going. "To Los Angeles," the chief replied. Turning to one of the others the captain put the same question, when an entirely different answer was returned. Joaquin bit his lip and spoke up angrily, "I command here; address yourself to me." IIe then proved a few steps toward the fire, around which lay the saddles, blankets and arms of the party. He was ordered to stop, and when he did not heed Lave told hint to stand or he would shoot. The chief tossed hie hair back scorn- fully, while his eyes blazed with the lightnings of his wrath, and, step- ping backward, he stood again by the side of his handsome steed, his jeweled hand resting lightly on its mane. At this critical moment Lieutenant Byrnes, with whom Joaquin was well acquainted, moved up, and Joaquin, realizing .that the game was up, called out to his fol- lowers to save themselves' as beat they could, and threw himself upon his charger without saddle or bridle, and sped down the mountain like a tempest. He leaped his horse over a precipice, when he fell, but was on his feet again in a moment, and, remounting, the daring rider dashed on. Close at his heels came the rangers, firing as they rode, and soon the gallant steed fell to the earth and Joaquin ran on afoot. Three halls pierced his body and made an end of the bloody•handed robber. • —Alonzo M. Strong, a brother of W. T. Strong, of London, died at Seaforth on the 23rd ult., after a few days illness. He was a resident •f Seaforth for the past 25 years, and held most of the important positions in the municipality—may- or, councillor, deputy -reeve and school trustee. Rheumatism) BlINGdue to the, preaeheo of uric n acid in the blood, is most effectually cured by .the use of Ayer's Sareapa. dila, Be sure you got Ayer's and no other, and take it till the poisonous acid is thoroughly expelled from the system. We challenge attention to this testimony:— "About estimonyt--"About two years ago, after Buffering for nearly two years fromrheumatic gout, being able to walk liny with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw -by an advertise- ment in a Chicago paper that a man had been relieved of this distressing com- plaint, after long suii;ering, by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for eight months, and am pleased to state that it has effected a complete cure. I have since had no re- turn of the disease."—Mrs. R. Irving Dodge,110 West 126th et., New York. "One year ago I was taken ill with Inflammatory rheumatism, beingcon- fined to my house six months.came out of the sickness very much debili- tated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in every way I commenced using Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength and soon recovering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of -this wall -known medicine." -- Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N. H. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, rEEPA1U P BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; °ix bottle°, $5.

IIe says : A noticeable feature in all these Canadian conventions is the presence of young men. It is cheering to see thein take hold of the question as they do, and make solid the conviction that the future of ,Canada is assuredly safe. The farmer's ,institute work is going ahead in Ontario with much vigor, for she has a splendid class of farm- ers, largely of Seotch, English, or Irish birth or extraction. They ex- cel us in the particular of skilful handing and feeding of farm ani• male. Their mutton, sheep, horses, hogs, and beef cattle show this fact very clearly. There are only about 210,000 farms fn the Province, yet they have made a very marked int. pression on the:animal husbandry of the United States as well as in the Dominion. HORSEMEN KINDLY BTTEND. During a recent trip in East Sims • coe a very intelligent youug farmer, anxious for the development and improvement of Canada, drew our attention- to a disability under which those horsemen labor who invest large sums of money in thor- oughbred animals. He very prop• erly pointed out that middle and lower class horses werenow so plen- tiful and their service so .cheap that there was no proper chance given the thoroughbred. He suggested a tax or annual fee to be paid to the township or county in which each animal might travel, just as auction- er and other licenses' are issued now. His argument is tbat an an- nual tax of $40 to $50 would drive away the scrub horses and thus give fair play to the thoroughbreds. The tendency too would be towards improving the breed of horses. The proposal has many merits. The Ontario Legislature should con- sider the the question and pass a law -allowing- -g-- each• -•county, - to- issue licenses as proposed by the Simcoe farmer. Scrub horses are no longer any use anywhere, "TRAITOR, LIAR AND STINKER." STILL THE UTTERER OF THE EPITHETS HAS NOT TET BITTEN THE DUST. Victoria, B. C., March 1.—In the provincial legislature to -day Kellie (member for 'Vest Kootenay), rising to a question of privilege, d -row the attention of the house to the fact that at the last sitting of the house last Wednesday he had been grossly insulted within the precincts of the house by Frauk Barnard (member of the Dominion house of commons for Cariboo). The said Barnard had called him a "traitor, a liar, a stinker, and told him to go to hell." Kellie said : "Ilad such language been used to me anywhere but in- side this house either Barnard or I would have bit the dust then and there, but having regard for the dignity of parliament, which was at the time in session, I refrained from laying hands on him." Kellie also said he had given Barnard time to apologize, but he had not done so, eo as a last resource by had brought the matter before the house. Hon. John Robson said he per- formed the painful duty in moving the appointment of a select commit- tee, consisting of himself, Hon. Robert Beaver, leader of the opposi- tion, and Col. Baker, M. P. for East Kootenay, to inquire into all the ciroumetancse, but he said members of the house must be protected from insults, and if the offender had been his own brother instead of an intimate friend, se Barnard was, his action would be just the same. The select committee will meet tomorrow morning end will report to the house, The general feeling is that 13ar>• and will be compelled to apologize at the bar of tbe House or else bo prosecuted for his misdemeanor ap• cording to the rules. PREACHER AND BLACK. MAILER. The Rev. John N. Laird, who was arrested, oharged with attemptt ed blackmail of Colonel Frank B. Bowman, of Eaat St. Louis, I11.. broke down and signed an affidavi, retracting the etatepaent that'Bow. man had been criminally intimate with his wife and admitting that his only object in writing Bowman was to extort money from him. In the letter referred to Laird said that Bowman had robbed him of his wife's affections, and had despoiled his family ; that he was a poor minister of the gospel, and if able would willingly leave the city and go to the far West, but his poverty forced him to call on Bow- man for $1,000, for which he agreed to hush up the matter and leave the town. The letters were planed in the hands of the police, and the rev- erend gentleman was placed in jail. In his retraction Laird saya that all the statements made against his wife and Bowman are false and without foundation. "I made the charges for the bare purpose of extortiug money from Bowman," said he, "knowing full well that the matters charged wore ruinous to my wifet to myself, and calculated to injure the reputation of Colonel Bowman." HE WASN'T FIXED. Our trunks had been burned with the car, and when we got to Cincin- nati an official of the railroad com- pany desired each one of us to give him our statement of loos. A tall and solemn looking young man came to me as I was figuring away and wanted to know what sum I was going to name. 'Well, I think my loas is about $60,' I replied. Was your trunk burned too 1' 'Yes,' 'Got your loss figured up ?' 'Not yet; and I wanted to ask you about it. Can I talk to you in confidence?' 'Oh, yes.' 'Well, I don't suppose my things were actually worth over twelve dollars, but—' 'But you'd like to get fifty dollars 4' 'That's it, exactly. The railroad folks seem willing to pay whatever is asked.' 'Well, then, why not make it fifty dollars ?' 'Wouldn't it be cheating?' 'That's a matter you must settle with your conscience.' 'Yes, I know it is, and gaol darn my buttons if I don't hope that somebody will kick ma all over the town.' 'Why, what's the matter 1' 'Matter !' Why instead of being ready to scoop this railroad out of $40 or $50, I've got to take $10 or $12 ! I've bean studying to be a preacher, for the last six months, and blast my old hat if I deet to tell 'em a lie!

This bacciferous herb with escul ent roots, as Houghton calls it, or optimum benigni Numinis donum, dapes grata diviti ; pauperi penis, as an eminen t botanist styles it, was first discovered in America, accord- ing to Gerard's Herbal, published in 1597, which authority is quoted by the Encyclopedia Britannica. The Spaniards met with it in the neighborhood of Quito, South America, and Spanish books refer to it as early as 1553. It was in- troduced into Spain from Peru by Hieronymus Carden, a . monk. Thence it passed into Italy and Belgium. Sir Walter Raleigh carried it from Virginia to Ireland, according to the same authority, in 1610. Tho American Encyclopa:diasays: "It is thought that its (the potato's) occurrence in Virginia was due to a recent introduction by the Spani- ards ; there ie no proof that it was in cultivation by the aborigines of this country or those of Mexico." A BOY'S ESSAY ON BREATH. A little boy in the Northside public school recently handed in to his teacher the following eomposi• tion on Our Breath : Our breath is made of air.
