Between assassinations, horse stealing, Indian raids and the lesser incident oi daily life, times are rather stirring down in New Mexico. A correspondent furnishes the particulars of a raid by a detachment of cavalry the other day on a band of horse thieves at Boqoilk, a small settlement forty-five miles from Fort Stanton. The settlement, numbering about forty men, is comprised en tirely of thieves, who make horse stealing their calling. Originally four or five hievea settled there.

You know her fruardian he would have no traitors about him." "iorgive me, dear Wollern, said Howe, relaxing his stem expression and smiling as he came forward.

"I was merely trying your good nature. I do not doubt Miss Hunter's loyalty, nor her guardian's. But I have use for you. Here, sit down and listen to dictations. Howe paced the room, dictating to the adjutant, who ever and anon glanced through the window at Emma Hunter, half concealed by the dying climbers.

He loved the tory's beautiful ward, and blessed the day that first threw, her into his presence. In the fullness of his adoration he had disclosed to her ears more than one official secret, and the purport of which had somehow or other reached American camps. Howe would shake his head and wonder who was the spy, but his vigilance availed him naught. When the British army first entered Philadel ph'a, old Monjoy Hall was the first to fling open his doors wide to its generals, and Howe rewarded his loyalty by making Mb noble old mansion his headquar ters. During Washington's late occupation of the Quaker City the tory had given the Americans much uneasiness by his fearless devotion to the king and by his boisterous tongue.

Washington at last got tired of the tory and expelled him from the city; but with the British troops he returned and lived in the element he loved, fearless and independent. "So, Burgoyne has surrendeaed," murmured Emma Hunter, as she sat in her chamber assorting the pretty black soed she 1 ad gathered. At last a northern wind has 1 blown some, hearts some good, and the1 cause of liberty is striking toward success God speed the day df Washington's triumph. But 1 must joqlc I to my papers; really, I have forgotten to lock my drawers. She started forward suddenly and paused before an antique and elaborately carved escritoire.

Her face was as pale as ashes, but the color returned when she opened the tiny drawer and put her hand on a package of yellowish papers. Carefully she unbound them and looked them over. One read thus "Admit tho bearer, a true patriot, to our lines. George Washington." These brief words were enough to hang the tory's ward, and her life would be worth but little if she was caught with these; papers in her possession. The spacious gardens attached to the Hall mansion looked, upon the river, and when the beautiful gloaming came Major WoUern found himself seated on a rustic settee in a delightful arbor.

He was iooking into the face of the tory's ward, wh was training cerulean eyes -over, a pieodof delicate "What are. you thinking about, Mis Emma he asked, smilingly. Sho started and looked up.

A minute later they deserted the arbor and re-entered the mansion, where they separated. Major Wollern sought Gen eral Howe room, where the council had already assembkd. Emma Hunter glided to the stables, and, with her own fair hands, capari soned a black horse which snorted to be free.

The sues were dark overhead, and afar to the south lightning strange sight for autumn was flashing furious ly. Several drops of rain struck the girl's head as she returned to the house and sought her room. Taking up a volume, she seated her self at the table, but not to read. She heard a confused murmur of voices in the room below, but could not catch an intelligible word. The oouneil lasted until ten o'clook and when the girl heard the general's departure she closed the book and de soended.

By-and-bye Major Wollern joined her on the porch. 'You have experienced a stormy time no doubt, major," she said, with a smile, I had hoped to play you to-night, bat we must now defer the pleasure. What of the forts!" "On the night of the twenty-second we surprise them," he answered, in the owest whisper; "and when the sun that rises after the night of victory shul shine on their ramparts, Miss Emma, will place the tanner there; then 1 will come to you." He gallantly took her hand and raised it to his hps. Half an hour later the tory's lovely ward, attired in a close-fitting suit of black, swept like, a specter to the stables, and led the sable horse through the garden to a narrow road that led down the river bank. Without assist ance she mounted the saddle and spoke gently to the steed, which started for ward like a thunderbolt.

Never a word the heroic girl breathed as she rode but she listened for the stern Halt 1" or the whiz of a bullet in the dark. Fortune favored her, for Bhe sue oessfully eluded the British pickets and at last tho far flashing lightning reveal ed the walls of Fort Moroer. "Thank Heaven!" were the words that fell from her Hps, and then she heard the command to halt. She drew rein and rode slowly up to the American picket. Tour pass, miss." She handed him a paper and by the lightning he saw the name of George Washington, written in the hero's own bold chirograpby.

Then he stepped aside and Emma Hunter rode on toward the fort. The old gray-headed son of Mars who held the post started when she entered his narrow, oell-like room, as though she was an apparition. In a firm tone she communicated the result of Gen. Howe's council of war and received the thanks and praise of the old commander. "We'll show them a thing to two when they come," he said, with a smile.

We will not tamely relinquish our guard over the Delaware." When Emma Hunter rode from the fort a young soldier walked by her horse's side. "Emma," he said, just beyond the reach of the pickets, "when will you answer me!" When you march down the streets of Philadelphia beneath the victorious stars and stripes." God hasten that day, then he exclaimed, fervently, and carried her hand to his lips ere they parted. Then the black horse dashed up the river again, and an hour later Emma Hunter's fair head pressed the snowy pillow. On the night of October 22, 1777, the citizens of Philadelphia were startled by the terrifio roar of distantcannon. Howe smiled, and rubbed his hands in glee but after listening an hour turned deadly pale.

The Americans were prepared to reoeive his troops, and treason very naturally suggested itself to the British general. After a while a courier arrived from the mouth of the Delaware with bad news for. the commander. His troops had lost four hundred of their number, among them the gallant Hessian, Count Dohop. But this was not all.

Major Wollern had fallen in the act of planting the British flag on the ramparts of the fort. At his own request he had been permitted to accompany the Emma Hunter turned away, sick at heart, when she learned the gallant fel-low's-fa. She loved him she oould hob deny it now but' he was gone. But time brought wonderful changes in Philadelphia; On the eighth of June in the following year the British evacuated the city; and when the young soldier who accompanied our heroine from Fort Mercer, marched down its streets, flushed with viotory, she gave him her hand. Howe never knew that his headquarters sheltered a lover of liberty, and when peace came to America's blood drenched soil, -Washington in fitting testimonials, the aid rendered him during the patriot struggle by the tory's ward.

Dr. Hopkins Regards this remedy as "above and before all others." -m, Jolly Jack Tars. A party of sailors from an American man-of-war, lying in a Mediterranean port, about thirty years ago, engaged in one of those sanguinary brawls' so dear to every seaman's heart.

Their enemies were an equal number of foreign sailors French, Spanish or Italian, I now for get which, though the story came to me direct, one remove, from the American commander. The offenders were called up for explanation, and stood before the officer, a row of six bulldogs, battered and cut and bruised to their heart's content. There was no evidence of a guilty conscience, however, among the whole o. j.uey an ieii inai tney nad been A. mi .11 1i 1 1 i -a upholding the honor of the American flag, and of their own sacred profession.

Their chosen spokesman touched his hat, and seemed to concentrate the con scious innocence of the entire party in his own person as he said: We couldn't help it, yer honor; it warn'tour fault. We was sittin' thar peaceful as kittens. And them forrin Chaps come what calls themselves sailors and the lubbers had their jackets buttoned inside 6' the seat o' th'r browsers A ook of scorn told the rest. The com mander beat a hasty retreat, and Jack scaped his punishment. Any English or American citizen who harbors a feeling of international aversion will dd well examine bis prejudices carefully in the interest of his reason and his manhood.

He will find that the vitality of his aversion springs from a habit, on the part of his neighbors, of buttoning their jackets inside the seats of their bowsers, or from some other reason quite as consistent with his own dignity as a man quite as inconsistent with the fact that he is not a child, or the hypothesis that he is not a lunatic. Spring Bonnets. Spring bonnets trimmed ready for wear have arrived, says a New Tork journal, and are a creamy white mass of chip, ribbons, lace and flowers, all of the one shade that is already becoming monotonous. The chips are very fine, and the preference for yellowish white is marked, for although colored chips brown, gray or black are imported un- trimmed, not one colored bonnet is found among the large importations of trimmed bonnets for models. The new rough finished yet glossy straw bonnets are very handsome, and are brought out in the best Bhapes.

These are not the coarse, rough-and-ready straws formerly used, but are fine satin-faced nee straws ecru tint, yet with raised braids that give them a stylish' rough surface.

When away from Boquilla, off on predatory inctirsions, the rogues would always claim to hail from some other place. The little plaza in the midst of the colony is a perfeot fort. Every means for defense has been provided.

Shafts sunk at intervals about the plaza, and provided with lad ders, connect, at depths from ten twenty feet, with drills, or subterranean passages, some of them running hun dreds of feet to neighboring ravines, and thus affording means of escape in case any attempt at arrest should be made, For years this colony of thieves has ex isted, in defiance of the law and the au thorities. Their operations have ex tended over a wide range of country, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, of horses have been gathered in by them and traded and sold in Texas, the Indian Territory, Colorado and Arizona. The chiefs of the colony appear, from the confession of the members of the gang recently arrested, to be three Mexicans named Chavez, Maes and Lejos, who are fearless and bloodthirsty villains. They have kept scouts out on all sides, day and night, each citizen by torn be ing subject to guard duty, and if stranger approached the alarm -wo al ways sounded, and while a portion of the gang showed him distinguished at tentions and showered their hospitalities upon him, the ringleaders darted away underground, reappearing at the surface when it seemed safe to do so.

The thieves who were arrested, when edged in the guardhouse at Fort Stan ton, confessed their calling, and boasted that the gang had over two hundred horses within ten miles of Boquilla, and defied any one to discover them. It is surmised that, everything else being on an equal scale, this gang have a large subterranean stable, where the stolen equines are kept until traded or dis posed of singly or in small lots. The cavalrymen satisfied themselves of the existence of the underground passages, but did not venture to explore them.

There was a remarkable instance in Mr.

Lin coln's wife, which ought to be a suggestion to Belknap, if he is innocent. He went before a committee and told them that an important public paper had been purloined by his wife and published without his knowledge. The sincere anguish he.felt led the committee to conceal the facts, as public polioy demanded they should, but the event is a part of the unwritten history of the war and one of its most painful incidents.
