The fact was, it was, Mrs. Simpson's dressmaker; but how was Mr. Taituife to know that? For fiv years he had been? traveling after a fashion of ..his own. 'Five years had wrought great changes.

"Tis like coming back from the dead to find one's place filled and one's eelf forgotten.'? he said, sadly. And now to all thereat was added the unwelcome discovery that the wife and son of Ernest Simpson, the man who had done him a cruel wrong and marred his life, were living next door to him. Some

Russian Bar-Rooms. London Globe. The enemies ot licensed victualers in England should, if they desire a few hours' sincere gratification, lake a trip to StV Petersburg, where tbe kabacs. or small tavernsfnre dealt with in a highhanded wav auite peculiar to tiie do

minions of the Caar. These places of entertainment had, as the Molva explains, immensely increased in Russia until about six years ago, when the authorities had to take them in hand. Between that time and this they have accordingly diminished the number from 1,100 to 181, a result which speaks volumes as to the sauctlty of vested interest in the Russian official mind. But with the reaction in number of these houses came a result which was not quite so gratifying in an ethical point of view. The army of drunkards which offended the eyes., of

moralists in the capital ol Holy Russia did certainly dwindle in a most undeniable style. But then the excise receipts in the treasury fell off in like proportion, and duritig.the last three years at least th e M i u ister of Pi n anee has not been exactly in a position to acquiesce very cheerfully in such a loss of revenue. Consequently, as the kabacs vanished, tbe small hotels

multiply in a eorresp mding ratio, and the lovers of strong drinks were also encouraged by flndhig a quantity ot new retail stores where they might buy their favorite potations, and carry them off to be discussed at home. The kabac thus persecuted and driven out

of the field, threatens to become before long a rather rare relic of the past, and it may in future time be interesting to remember what were . its distinguishing peculiarities. The principal articles 3oldjat the counter there are bottles of beer," which cost from 4 pence to $ pence each, . measures" of eau-de-vie, containing as much as three liquoi glasses; fend Costing 3J pence; ;xnd in they way of eatables, nothing more epicurean than bread and salt. This frugality is not the result of any unwillingness on the part ofHhe tavernkeepers to encourage the idleness of eating, but is imposed upon them by an order of the Government. Anpthei rule which is exactlv opposed to the policy of our English law is tbat no aabac may provide its guests with seats. This re-triction is, however, evaded by the simple process of sitting cn the floor, while the prohibition as to selling food .. is frustrated by the presence of coster-mongers and bsketcarries, who hang about the doors and provide the drinkers with various delicacies in the shape ol herrings, onions, butter, eggs and potatoes.

The Division of Texas. Detroit Post and Tribune. :7 The join t resolution "declaring the terms on which Congress" admitted Texas into the Union passed Congressi February 28, 1845, and was signed by the President, John Tyler, the following day, only three days before tbe expiration of his term of office. Tho third clause of the second section of this resolution provides that "new States, not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State. of Texas," may be fcrmed out of the territory thus admitted, on the "having snMciens population by the "consent of Texas;" and "under the provisions ol the Federal constitution." The constitution fsec. S, art. 4) provides that "new States may be admitted by the Congress into the Union, but no new State shall be formed within the jurisdiction of any other State 515 ' without the consent of the Leg

islatures of the States concerned, as well as of Congress." Thus it is seen that tjie joint resolution admitting Texas is rather a restriction than a grant of power. If Texas had been admitted without Che clause declaringthe number of States intowltieh it-might be divided,, it could have been split up into many States, with the consent of the Legislature and Congress. But this clause, if it has any binding force, limits the number into which Texas may be cut up. , Now. the Austin (Texas) lleview Bays: "We infer that these new Suites will be created at the next session of the Legislature ... . B because our Democratic politicians, both at home

1 and abroad, want to tret control of the

United States Senate for the next four

years, ana can only no so by senarag six new Democratic Sei ators to, that body from three new additional States created out of the territory of Texan." Possibly the Keview may be right. The attempt may be made. " But it requires the concurrence of severfd unlikely events to make the little cb erne work. The act of the Texas Legislature is only one step. After that, bills must pas3 both branches, of Congress and be signed by the Preudent. Thus there are several stone wails against which the scheme will butt out its existence. .It will be just as easy to divide New York, Michigan, "or any other State, as it will be to divide Texa3 and one even t b: just as probable as the other, and no more.

respected and influential citizen of Priuce Frederick,: Calvert county. He was the leader of the choir and. a deacon in the Methodist Church at that pUit'i ami was looked upon as a man of high mora! character, From the testimonv taken at the time of his trial it appears that about tweuty-three years ago Bowen was intimate with a voung woman in Calvert county, and

It soon became evident that she was

about to become a mother. Bowen. at her. earnest solicitation, and probably dreading an expose, married her a few weeks before her son Enoch was Lorn. The mother died in child-birth, and the iatberj took charge of the infant, whom he raised and educated as the son of an old frieuc . About six years later Bowen J married the daughter of a respectable resident cf Calvert county, by whom he had one child, a daughter, Ella. The latter as she grew to womanhood developed unusual beauty and grace, and Enoeh, who was living in the iamily, naturally became smitten with her charms. The father, on becoming aware of the oosition of affairs, .was greatly alarmed and sought to break off the engagement already existing between the young couple. He intimated to the young man that some mysterious reason existed for the marriage not taking place, whereupon the lover demanded an explanation. The elder Bowen refused to clear away the mystery, when he was greatly terrified by Enoch declaring that he intended to engage detectives and investigate hi (Enoch's), career since his birth, in order to find out the trouble. .Bowen, dreading an exposition of his escapade with Enoch's mother, soothed the lat-

ter's suspicions, and finally

infttant rtonsentto the marriage, the

eeremony was performed Sept. IS, by the Rev. Josenh P. Wilson, pastor of the church of which the elder Bowen was a member. .It transpired, however tbat Bowen had not succeeded in covering his tracks. A young man who had also been a suitor for Miss B nven's hand suspected that there was a mystery about Enoch, and remembered a rumor as to the latter's parentage, which had been in circulation several yeais before. He instituted inquiries, discovered the record of the marriage of Thomas Bowen to Enoch's inciber, the infaut's birth, and finally Mrs. Bo wen's death. Having thus established beyond a doubt the fact that Bowen had allowed his own son and daughter to marry, th? infuriated lover caused the arrest of the uunatural father. As stated, Bowen was tried, convicted and sentenced to the House of Correction, and it s with the hope of being released on the grounds of ill health that his applies lion for pardon has been filed. The atfair caused great indignation in the community, and there was some . talk of lynching the elder Bowen. A s soon as the facts in the case became known Enoch Bowen and bia sister separated. The latter, will become a mother in six months, and her attending physician has little hopes of her surviving the

trial, as her entire nervous and mental

system is prostrated by the the terrible discovery.

Diphtheria has been very prevalen t in Australia, aud one of the most successful remedies is said to have been a few drops of sulphuric acid in a tumblerful of water. The result of this

I miqture is said to . be coagulation of

mphthwitio membrane and its ready removal by coughing. When the voice is lost, as is sometims the case, from the effects of cold, a simple, pleasant remedy is furnished by beaciug up the white of one egg, adding to it the juice of one lemon, and sweetening with white sugar to taste. Take a teaspoonful from time to time. It has been known to effectually cure the ailment. To cure a cough, roast a lemon very carefully without burning it; when it

is tnorougmy not, cue ana squeeze to a cup upon three ounces of sugar, finely powdered. Take a spoonful whenever your cough troubles you. . It is as good as it is agreeable to the taste. Rarely has it been known to fail of giving relief. A sure cure for soft corns is to dip a bit of.sor't linen rag into turpentine and wrap it around the soft corn ; wet

the corn m it night and morning, and in a few days the corn will have disappeared. But the relief to the throbbing, burning pain comes almost immediately after the first or second application. Wear cotton between tne toes, and the corns will not reappear The Gassette Medicate of France says that by an accident, charcoal has been discovered so be a cure for burns. By laying a piece of cold charcoal upon a burn? the pain subsides immediately. By leaving the charcoal. on one hour, the wound is healed, as has been demonstrated on several occasions. The remedy is cheap and simple, and certainly deserves a trial. We have tried many experiments to induce sleep. The very nest method we have yet discovered is that of counting. Breathe deeply and slowly (without any straining effort.) and with every respiration count one, two, three, etc., up to one hundred. Some persons will be asleep be fore they count fifty in this manner. Others will count ten, twenty, or thirty, and then forget themselves and cease counting. Very few persons cau count a nuudred and find themselves awake; but should this happen, repeal; the dose until cured.

men. rue rorc was aoanaonea some ten or twelve years ago, owing to the

removal of troops further south, to

ward the border of Mexico. The

property was condemned and sold to

Pete Maxwell, a well-known ranchman of the section. Hince then it has been a depot of supplies for sto2k-

man ana a stage station on. the postal route to Pecos Valley and Panhandle, Texas. Until recently, on almost any fair day, there might have been seen lounging about the store or engaged in target practice four men, all of them young, neatly dr83sed, and of good appearance. A stranger rid in a iu tiie little hamlet wordd have taken them to be a party of Eastern gentlemen, who had come into that sparsely settled region in search of sport. Many who have gone into that country have struck up an acquaintance with thsse men and found them agreeable fellows. These men are the worst desperadoes in the West, and lar&re narties of

armed men are now scouring the country in pursuit of them. . For a number of years the people of Eastern New Mexico and Panhandle, Texas, have been harassed by a gang who have run off stock, burned ranches, and committed acts of violence aiid murder. It was only recently that the leaders and organiza

tion of the band were discovered. The leaders. are Billy the Kid, so called from- his youth; Dave Rudabauch, Billy Wilson, and Tom O'Phollier, the four loungers about Port Sumner. The Kid is the captain of the gang, 'lheir fastness is alout thirty-five miles due east from Fort Sumner, on the edge of the great Staked Plain. In that region is a small lake called. Las Portales. It is surrounded by steep hills, from which flow numerous streams that feed the

little lake. This place the robbers selected for their resort partly on account of its hiding places, but mainly on account of the opportunities it afforded them for stock thievinsr. No

matter from "what direction the storm came, it drove to the lake theherts of cattle which roam at large in this rich grazing country. There the band built for themselves one of those rude dugouts so common on the. Western froh tier, two sides formed by the side of the hill, tho other two constructed of sod and dirt plastered together, and the whole covered by a thatched roof. Stockades or corrals were built near by in which to put stolen stock. During pleasant weather the members of the gang lounged about Fort Sumner or other stations in that section. When the storm seat cattle scudding over the plains to the haven; afforded by the hill protected lake-basin, tbe gang would hurry to their rendezvous and cut out from the herds the best cattle, driving them into their corral, whence they were later sent to market. Their booty was large, for they had a vast stock to select from, the whole country for a distance of one hundred and fifty miles either way being a rich, continuous pasture. Besides the active members"of l he band, there were many who had apparently some settled occupation, arid made themselves useful iu

dit posing of the stolen cattle. In every town-of any size within a radius of 150 miles there were butchers who dealt regularly in this stolen stock. When supplies from roving herds ran short the desperadoes would make a raid on herds that were guarded, attacking ranches and killing or driving off the inmates. Besides their station at Las Portales, they had one at Bosque Grande, fifty miles to the southwest, and another at Greathouse's ranche, fifty miles to the north. Whenever they were pursued when running off stock, they had the choice of three places to which to resort. The people of the surrounding country finally found the existence "of this baud unendurable. After repeated searches which failed, owing to the smahness of the pursuing parties, it was resolved to organize several bands, who should co-operate in ,a campaign , which should end only when the out-

laws were driven out of the country, J or their capture, dead. or alive, was efj feeted. The authorities of the several counties which bordered on -the coun

try over by the Kid's gang had been repeatedly petitioned to send out a posse of men to hunt them down, but, as Las Portales was ou disputed terri

tory, the authorities were never ahieto

upon any plan 01 action. At

It was; considered best to hold Ureathouse as a hostage, while Jim Carlyle, the leader of the rangers, aceeeded to the Kid 's req uest for a conference A long time elapsed, and Carlyle did not return.. His "men be$an to feel uneasy about hi m, and despatched a note to the renegade chief saying that , unless Carlyle was given up in less than five minutes they would kill Greathouse. No reply was received. Soon ai ter the

last tha ranchmen took the matter into their own hands, and tbe first party they son tout succeeded in getting on the tmck of a detachment of tbe gang, who were hauling material to Las Portales, where they were building large stock yards. Although the party was not successful in capturing the outlaws, they made the outlaws flit about the country in a more lively manner than had been their wont. This showed that nothing auld be do tie by a small force. A Kiiard was always kept out ou the numerous peaks about Las Portales, from which outlook the coun try for twenty miles either way could; 'be scanned by tho outlaws, so that they could easily elude a small party. The Panh an die Transportation Company an association of stockmen of western Texas, banded together for mutual, protection, commissioned their superintendent, Frank ...Stewart,, a brave fellow,, who wait just the man for such work, to organise an expedition against the outlaws. The Whi te Oaks, a nourishing mining camp, organized a band of rangers Bull another party of picked men, under the lead of Sheriff Pat Girrett of Lincoln County, who is considered one of the bravest and coolest men in tbe whole reglou, joined ill the campaign. In tiie latter part of November Garrett, with a force of fourteen men, made a dash for Bosque. Grande, riding aJl nifi;ht, and there Biicceeded iu capturing five of tho outlaws. One of them wan a condemned murderer who had escaped from fail; another of them was a murderer for whose arrest $1,500 had been offered, 'rhese are the sort of men who reinforce the band. Las Portales has long been an asylum for fugitives from justice. B;)Eque Grande (Great Forest) is situated in one of . the most fertile regions of the West, and as the rich linds bordering upon tho Pecos River are the objective point of many who intend to settle in the Territory, it was thought best to rid that region of the outlaws find, in ordar that none might be deterred fiom settling there. Precautious have been taken which will prevent this, refuge of the band from ever sheltering them again. Tt was expected that tiie two other parties would work with Uarrett's band, but the Panhandle party were delayed, owing to scarcity of feed, and

the White Oans, dangers nan tueir Iannis full in another Quarter. The

latter party had a brush with the Kid, Rudabdgh, Wilson and several others at Covote Springs, near the Oaks camp and the outlaws succeeded in escaping, although two had their horses shot from under them The ranger started back for reinfo: cements aud supplies, and then pressed on after the outlaws, coming upon them at their other station at Greathouse ranch. It was night when the rangers : reached the ranch. Thoy threw up earthworks a few hundred yards from the stockade of the ranch, and when the outlaws rose up in the morning they found themselves hemmed iu. The rangers sent u meaaenger to Jim Greathouse, H e twuer of tho ranch, demanding the surrender of the outlaws. Greuhouse replied in person Ble came ont

in Chicago, and

counterfeit 100 bills in. large, numbers

have been put in circulation among the stockmen and merchants in all that region. The information that enabled the Government officers . to fix the handling of counterfeit money upon the Kid's gang came from a freighter named Smith. JSoon afterward, while Smith was on his way from Las Vegas to Port Sumner with a load of freight, he was, waylaid and murdered by some of the gang.

William Bonney, alias the Kid, the leader of the band, is scarcely more than 20 years of age. He hi handsome and dresses well. He has a fair compiection , smooth face, blue eyes, and brown hair. He is about five feet ten inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, and is lithe, active, and graceful. He has one bad feature; two of his front teeth protrude so as to show when his lips are closed. A beautiful, bay mare that

he has carefully trained, is all that he seems to care for, unless he reserves some affection for his brace of six-shooters and Winchester iifle. which have helpei him out of many a tight place. His care of the beautiful mare is well deserved, fcr many a time has her fleejness, which surpasses that of . any other horse in the 'Territory, saved his life. The Kid is an admirable rider, and as he is aHways expecting to be obliged to take to flight, he usually rides another horse, leading his pet behind, in order to make the best time possible on a fresh horse. He is considered a dead shot, and much of his time is spent, in target practice. He was born in New York State, but his parents removed to Indiana when he was quite small, and thence to Arizona. There, in the Tonbstone District, the Kid killed his first man, when he was only 17 years old, and was obliged to leave the country. He came to New Mexico, where he has lived. . . About three years ago a difficulty arose in Lincoln county, New Mexico, between the stockmen and the Iudian agent on the reservation. The trouble arose in ...regard to some catt le that had been purchased for the Indians. Nearly every man in the county was under arms, and the troons were called out by Gov. Wallace to quell the disturbance. Tne Kid was mixed up in the affair, and had some narrow escapes. On one occasion he was hotly pursued and was obliged to take relnge in a house in Lincoln, which was surround ed by sixty colored s: Idlers. To the demand to'surrender he only laughed and shot down a soldier just to snow that he was game. The house was set on fire, when the Kid, after loading up Ins Winchester rifle, leaped from the burning building and made a dash for liberty. All the while he was running he kept firing from his Winchester,

ins pursu-

over niii ueau,

but he made hi3 escape, and leaping on a horse was soon laughing at hie pursuers. There is no telling how many men he has killed. He sets no value on human life, and ha never hesitated at murder when it would serve his purposes. Gov. Wallace a few days ago offered a reward of $500 for. his .capture, and prominent citizens would make up a handsome purse in addition. Billy Wilson is much, the same sort of looking fellow as the chief. He is about the same build, with dark hair and a slight moustache. He left the Ohio home, where his people, who are ail highly esteemed, still reside, several years ago. After being engaged in the cattle business in Texas for some time, he came to New Mexico. When the excitement broke out over the new camp at White Oaks, ne went there and was engaged in the butchering business. ' He waa always considered a smart, . energetic fellow, and was weir thought of. In some way the Kid persuaded him to join his partv, and it was by him that much of the forged paper was put into circulation, Tom O'Phailer is a Texan, and Js also a man of good appearance. He has a ruddy, beaming face, and can be an exceedingly agreeable companion. Ho has been with the band from imt, aud has committed many crimes,

It would no be difficult to establish charges of murder against him in any or all of those States and Terri tories. In Colorado, a few years ago, he ran oft some Government stock, and, while pursued by adetaebment of soldiers, he killed a Sergeant and two privates. He once beaded an, at tack 011 the Las Vegas jail, in order to. liberate one of his friends', and shot down n guard who interfered. He is a thorough desperado in look, word, and action ready at all times for a fight. He thinks no more of putting a bullet, through a human brain than through tho bull's eye of the target before wbich be is con tinuallv practicing. He is 5 feet 8 inches tail, and weighs about 180 nouuds. He has a swarthy

complexion, black hair and beard, and hazel eyes, whose cruel, defiant expression has often been noted. The career of the band is about run for tueyare hotly, pursued, anfi the chances are that before loug they will be killed or captured.
