ArriXGATE ITOIS.
Alonzo and Lew. Hyde, who have
been quite sick, are riow convalescent.
With the exception of a few small
dances and a shooting match, the holi
days passed off very quietly at our end
of Applegate.
I do not think the mercury was low
er than zero, but it hardened potatoes,
apples, ic., considerably, but the dam
age was slight.
How depraved and low must those
persons have been who did, on the night
of Jan. 3d, enter and steal from Henry
York eight pieces of bacon, and on the
same night also took some out of J.
Sissel's smoke house?
A good plan for those persons that
go out sleighing here on Applegate, is
to take a wagon along, for the wrecks,
and sleighs scattered along tho road
will convince even a casual observer
that all the sleighing was not a success.
I did think I would have a marriage
notice to send, but could not procure
the needed information. That fellow
from New York who put an ash poul
tice on his neck for a cold now holds
his head in a set position it did too
much.
Here is the way a man latelv from
Iowa now on
ague snd fever.
Applegate, cured the
He took at one dose
seventy small pebbles, then stood on
his head, and strange as it may appear,
the ague left him. I suppose the phi
losophy of the cure is "that hr must
have sand in the craw." I do not
think standing on the head will become
universal.
The storm of wind on the 9th in
stant vas the severest that has ever
visited this country. Large trees were
torn up by the roots, others snapped
off like weeds, while the fences that
were blown down astonished the na
tives. No stock was killed that I can
hear of. Mr. Harriott says that so far
this Winter has been a great deal
hftrrlpr t.hnn thn nnpt nf Ififi
vmiey by tne Ju, ana mucn v,: .... last
snow still on hand. As to the weath
er being pleasant, is saying a good deal,
but still wo have concluded to take it
just as it comes. Stock looks well and
as far as I can learn but little perished
in the big storm, except that Messrs.
A". Wimer and Clemens lost about two
hundred sheep, but perhaps many of
them will yet be found alive. A good
many buildings could not stand the
pressure, but no great damage done, and
although the snow went off in a hurry,
Applegate behaved quite well, not get
ting out of its channel. The snow
taught many people a great lesson, and
if heeded, much suffering among stock
will he avoided; that they should be
prepared for a hard Winter, whether
it comes or not, for where is the sense
or the humanity in keeping more stock
than what feed is prepared for. A few
head wall kept are worth legions of
half-starved stock. Mac.
ANNEXATION OF MEXICO.
The San Francisco "Chronicle" has a
special from Mew York dated Jan.
8th, indulging in the following specula
tions concerning the "manifest destiny"
of several of the provinces of Mexico.
Let us have "piece," stop intestine rev
olution, and give the Mexicans the
benefit of a gool government :
There has been considerable talk at
the Manhattan and Union Clubs with
in a few days about a formidable fili
buster movement, having for its object
the severance of the Kio Grande States
of Mexico from that republic, and
placing them as speedily as possible un
der an independent government styled
the Republic of the Rio Grande.
News received from there yesterday,
appparently confirming this gossip, cre
ated lively interest. A "Sun" corres
pondent this morning says there has
existed for some years a secret organi
zation, having its ulterior object the
absorption of Mexico by tho United
States. The manner in which this is
to be effected is the old one, the grad
ual settlement of adventurers into the
Northern States of Mexico, Chihuahua,
Sonora, Coahuila, Nuvea Leon and
Tamaulipos. Grant, while President,
entered into the plot privately, and fa
vored a part of the programme. The
Nicaragua canal is .but the hem
ming in of Mexico's defensive powers on
the South concurrent with ostensibly
peaceful and industrial movements on
the North. The Tehauntepec Railway,
now being constructed by Mr. Learned,
has nothing to do with the Grant
scheme.
GITAYMAS AS X RIVAL.
It is said, and with much plausibility,
that the wealthy Bostonians who have
secured control of the Atchison, Tope
ka and Santa Fe Railway, and with it
whatevpr is valuable in the franchiso
and land grant of the old Atlantic and
Pacific, intend, after constructing their
line down the Rio Grande to El Paso,
to push southwestward to Guaymas.
A careful study of the map fayors ft
strong suspicion of this intention. It
would bring them in connection at El
Paso with the Texas Pacific, and tho
two companies, then combining, as
would be clearly to their interest,
would have the shortest possible route,
from the waters of the Pacific to Gal-
veston and New Orleans and with tho
whole railway system of Texas and the
Southern States. The distanco from
El Paso to Guaymas is just about half
the distance from El Paso to San Diego.
Moreover, it would place Guaymas 200
or 250 miles in closer communication
with St. Louis than San Francisco is
by the Salt Lake and Omaha route.
The port of Guaymas is a good one for
commerce. The region between it and
El Paso is believed to be very rich in
minerals. It has a fine agricultural
feeding in the direction of the Yaqui
Valley and Hermossilo, in Sonora, and
with this railway communication to tho
Southern and Southwestern States,
backed by the unlimited capital of
Boston, it would bid high both for tho
trade San Francisco now has with the
Mexican and Central American coast
and with the constantly increasing
trade of Australia and China. This
Mexican coast trade is as yet in its in
fancy. The valley of Colima, which is
soon to be connected with Manzanillo,
by railway, has immense resources for
the production of coffee and other trop
ical products; and if Guaymas secures
what she expects from the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Company, it is a
sorjoiBfcestioriiyith San Tniruufia
slice ouc of our trade, and leave us
wondering what had hurt us, andhow
so large, rich and great a city as this
managed to bo humiliated by so insig
nificant a town. Tho tea trade with
China and Japan we shall possibly al
ways keep. But suppose Mexico should
make as high a bid for Chinese labor
ers as Cuba and Peru have made,
would it not soon happen that Boston
lines of steamships would ply weekly
between Hongkong and Guaymas, at
first carrying laborers chiefly, but by
and by taking away our commerce
with China altogether!
One thing seems inevitable: That, if
the connection by rail shall be mods
between the Mexican port and tho
Texas railway system, the Central and
Couthern Pacific Companies will have
to inaugurate a far more liberal policy
toward this State and tho merchants
of this city, or lose a large part of the
traffic upon which they are depending
for future dividends. They are get
ting into deeper water than they have
been used to, whether they know it or
not. San Fran. "Chronicle."
The following touching story is told
by a truthful exchange: A man in a
certain town who had never advertised
was recently found dead under the
counter, where he had been lyinij for
two days. He was accidentally discov
ered by a small boy who went in to
get a nickel changed. As he never ad
vertised people had forgotten where his
store was, and hence no one happened
to discover the corpse until decomposi
tion had set in.
Surgery can justly boast of a new
conquest; when an eye is severely
wounded, the healthy one is in danger
of being impaired by "sympathy," to
preserve the good eye, it was hitherto
the practice to remove the injured one.
Dr. Boucheron has discovered, that by
cutting the ciliary nerves, the "sympa
thy" is stopped, and thus dispenses
with the necessity of removing the in
jured organ. Forty surgeons havo
thus operated successfully. "Pacifio

If your local paper happens to tread
on your toes a little in performing its
mission, don't get your back up and abuso
its editor, but stop and take a good
breath and think bock for a season,
and see if you can't remember some of
tbe favors and kindnesses it has shown
you in the past. Then reflect that it
may not be long before you may want
favors again. Ex.
