An Arizona Venus.

Miss Carrie Burne, in company with her father, passed through El Moro yesterday on a wild mustang, en joute for Kansas from Tucson, Ariz., some 700 miles away, and having yet 600 more to make before their journey is ended. Miss Carrie has rather a pretty face and impressive form—not such a one as the young man of to-day with blonde mustache and hair parted in the middle would select to whisper sweet sentiments over the garden gate to—but a girl for an Indian fight or a “bar” hunt you could rely on every time. She sported nary diamond nor coral necklace, but was muscled like an Amazon, and had a fist like a Morrissey. She was a girl of nerve, too, we reckon, for on her saddle hung a Ballard rifle and a brace of Colt’s revolvers. She informed the writer that she had seen much of life in the past twelve months, and but little of newspapers, and was anxious to know what was going on in the world.— Trinidad (Col.) News,
