E'glity of the best citizens o Rio Arriba i county, have petitioned Governor "Wallace to take prompt action against desperadoes who disgrace the territory. Wallace las or dered Adjt. Gm. Grost to go im mediately with sixty stands of rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammu nition and organize two military companies to act as sheriff's posse. The robbers arc led by Ike Stock ton and have headquarters near the Colorado line at Durango. Another Snow Morm in the Weil. Cincinnati, March 29. A snow storm throughout Indiana has been general, accompanied in man' Tl-ifp; iiv a. stromr wind. At Kenton, Ohio, snow is twenty inches, and at Wilmington and Millersburg six inches. Dayton, 0., March 29. The heaviest snow storm of the winter set in this morning at about 4 o'clock and has continued all day with little cessation, and is still falling this evening. The snow is wet and heavy and has caused great impediment to business. It is about ten inches deep. Tanner Outdone. "Rattle Creek. Mich., March 29. Another alleged wonderful i case is reported here, Mrs. -Henry Ingram having taken no food since October last, when having had some teeth pulled, she was unable on account of nausea to retain food, has taken nourishment by absorption only. She sometimes absorbs a quart of liquids through the pores. Her stomach is totally paralyzed. The problem is now how loner will she last. As the old "red cont" has now passed out of use, aud, except rarely, out of sight, like the "old oaken bucket," its history is a matter of sufficient interest for preservation. The cent xvas first proposed by Robert Morris, the great financier of the revo lution, and was named by Jefferson j two years after. It began to make its appearance from the mint in 1792. It bore the head of Washington on one side and thirteen links on the other. The French revolution soon creatod a rage for French ideas in Ameiica, Pretty Girls in a Wiue-Vat. A resident m Italy vouches for tlic follewing: In the vineyards near us the girls mount ladders and clip the rich branches,droppig them into the baskets. With in dustrious workers one day is enough to clear an average vine yard. Wlien the grapes arc all gatliered in they are carefully pick ed from the stems for the pressing. Tle last process is the same primi tive, simple operation that was performed by tlie patriarch Noah. The grajes are thrown into an enormous vat, where the juice is tramped out of them by the bare feet. At this stage of the vint age you may see hundreds of youug ladies of the city of Perugia coming forth in groups in the morning, beaming with pleasant mystery and excitement. Your ordinary tourist, whose only intellectual and instructive pabulum is gathered from the guide-books, has not the remotest conception of their object. He may think they are out for an early constitutional. But early constitutionals are not the rage with Italian ladies. Shall I tell you the secret of all that mystery and excitement? They arc off to the country to tread in the wine presses. It is a novel holiday for them, besides being a most salu tary exorcise. Even prim old dowagers are known to "wade in" and banish the rheumatism by a half day's exercise in the wine press. Apart from the healthful exercise of tramping, the new inash-act is a bath to the limbs, while the uprising fumes are considered eminently stomachic. After the treading performance these ladies wash themselves in hot wine, taking a moderate de coction internally for the stomach's sake. The effect is pleasant and rejuvenating, and is especially noticeable in the vim with which they participate in the dance, J which is the usual sequel to tread- ins: in the wmc-nress. Tlie North American Review. In the North American Review for April is a noteworthy article by Judge A. W. Tourgee, in which the profess ed reformers of the civil service are mit n the defensive and their schemes of reform pronounced to be incom patible with American idoas of self government, and on divers other grounds inadmissible and impracti cable. The same number of the Reiew contains, under the fanciful title, "The Thing that Might Be," a profound philosophical study of tlte Jaws and conditions of human pro- gross, by the Rev. Mark Pattison, rector of Lincoln coJhxlge, Oxford. The third article is a strong defense of the Roman Catholic side of the controversy about religion in the pub lic schools, from the pen of Bishop McQiiaid, of Rochester. The great problem of the governmental control of monopolies is discussed with refer ence to railway management by the Hon. George Ticknor Curtis, who contends that whon a railway com pany is incorporated by any state it agrees to this much and no mere: that its property shall be sub ject to such legislative control as the act of incorporation embraces, to the exercise of the taxing and police powers of the state, and to the power of eminent domain. The same prob lem, in its bearing upon telegraph linos, is ably discussed by the Hon. Wm. 31. Springer. Mr. John Fiske has an article on The Historic Genesis of Protestantism, and Mr. Anthony Trollope, an essay on the Poet Long fellow. Mr. Desire Charnay, the author of the series of papers on the ruined cities of Central America, has for more than two months been pursu ing his researches in regions remote from all avonuos of communication with the civilized world, and conse quently neither the presont number of the Review nor the one last prcced ingit contain any contribution from him. In the May number, howevor, will be published anothor of his vory instructive papers Hone t-Mncatlon. In something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a genoral disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of maturer years, to enlighten and bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our books and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He smelleUi the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his first school coni03itiou, and the professional literature, we .have every grade of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing hotter in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct" And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by mail to any person for twenty-live cents, postage paid.

C"A contemporary says: A news paper and a newspaper editor that peo ple don't talk about and sometimes abuse arc rather poor concerns. Tho men and business that an editor some times feels it a duty to defend at a risk of making enemies of another class, are often the very firat to show ingratitude. The editor wlio expects to receive much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mistake; but he should go ahead and sav ami do what he conscientiously thinks right without regard to frowns or smiles. 3rThe free lands of the west aro leing taken up ami settled this year to a decree most gratifying, in the face of tlni over-crowded mechanical depart ments of mctroHiitaii life.

The decomposed body of a man unearthed near Pendleton last week is described 'as tollews: He appeared to be about twenty-five or thirty years old. had red hair and was wrappod in a soldier's overcoat; had on two duck shirts and three pairs of overalls, one brown striped, one blue and one brown. It is supposed the man was murdered last fall, as a piece of a "Walla-walla paper containing a notice of President Hayes, coming ivaa found in his pocket There is no clue what ever to his identity. Quite a number of poor cattle died near Pendleton from the effects of the late hard winter, and their car casses are still lying on the ground, some of them being within the corpo rate limits of the town. Tho stench arising from their dead bodies is some times unbearable, and if they are al lowed to remain very long will very likely cause considerable sickness in that city.

You know them, they aro identified with you in the interest of keeping up the city, which is an organ ization for mutual protection, and if 5ou are cheated you know where to ap ply for rejlress. When j'ou buy of an itinerant pedlar, whom you may never see again, if j'ou are cheated you must pocket j'ourown losses. Marvel not that 1 say unto you, ye must pay the printer. Whosoever neglecteth to pay the printer, hath not eternal life abiding in him. Who hath sorrow, who hath woe, who hath the nightmare! They who forget to render unto the printer his just dues. If a man live many years and payeth not for The Aotoeian, behold he shall not die in peace till he hath re stored to the printer that which he hath withheld. 2"The time has long since passed when mechanical trades provided our sons with a living. Labor-saving ma chincrv, patent tools and steam have robbed the trade of the future it offered to our boys in the days of the indentured apprentice system. The idlers and do nothiugsof our metropolitan cities aro composed largely of tradesmen and professional men, and merchandising is a failure, if the number of bankrupt merchants who had to succumb to the pressure of the times can be taken as a criterion. What the country needs is pro ducers, and the waste fields of unculti vated land offers an opportunity to placo the rising generation in the way of mak ing aomes for themselves and better times for posterity. svNorsis or i ontents : Chaitkk I.
