The stage between Rosario iMasatlan, which left the former •topped at 1 a. m. the next day at Oaliente, where another passenger, ing and pretty girl, was taken cm. l lras Carlotta Newman, daughter of Wind woman living at Mazatlan. iere were two other passengers, a man I and a woman. The stage left Agtta Calient© at 2 a. m. and had gone only a couple of leagues when the driver suddenly reined up at a call from the roadside, where four men on horseback sat coolly pointing re­ volvers at his head. There was no de­ mand for coin, and from the quiet man­ ner of the highwaymen the driver could draw no idea of the nat ure of their de­ mands. While one man held a gun pointed at the driver and another at­ tended the horses the others dismounted, stepped to the end of the coach ana courteously requested the yc&ng lady to come out. The girl recognized the larger man, a magnificent looking fellow, as Jose Valdez, her rejected lover, and di­ vining the plot she begged the passengers to save her. Valdet warned them to do nothing, and as they had no firearms they dared not protest against the ac­ tions of the bold robbers. i After urging Miss Newman to come but without avail, Valdez and his com- ipanion laid hold of her and carried her to the horses, placing her upon one and tying her to the saddle. The girl's ehrieks and tears had no effect either in hurrying the "men or arousing their anger. When they were again mounted and ready to leave, Valdez turned to the driver and said calmly, "Go, friend, and excuse me for molesting you." The driver lost no time in accepting the permission, and the agitated passen­ gers inside did not breathe easily until they saw the party, with the girl in the center, gallop over a hilL The driver and passengers reported the matter on arriving at Mazatlan and gave the names of Librado and Bernardo Valdez and Rufino Zatarain as the accomplices of Jose Valdez, the first two being his cousins. Valdez is a dare devil and spendthrift, and though of good family bears a very bad reputation. He was rejected by Miss Newman, who is a highly respected girl of American birth. The prefect of the district of Concordia, in which Agua Ca- liente is situated, has charge of a party of rurales searching for Valdez, and strong efforts are being made to capture the villain. His hiding place is unknown. News of her daughter's capture pros­ trated the mother in Mazatlan.--San Diego Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. A THURIFER GUILD. Clergymen Agitated Over tht < Question of Incense Burning. f Two subjects are at present greatly ex­ ercising the minds of many clergymen of the Church of England--one is the startling falling off in their incomes ow­ ing to the long continued and increasing agricultural depression, and the other is the use of incense in churches. The lat­ ter is always a prominent topic of cler­ ical discussion about Christinas time, 'but this year it seems to create more in­ terest than usual, owing to the growing prevalence of the practice. There are now so many servers, aco­ lytes and other altar assistants engaged in lighting and ^winging thurifers in the churches of England that they seriously propose to form themselves into a guild or society for the promotion of incense burning. The name suggested for it is the ••Thurifer Guild." One of its objects will be a study of the history of the prac­ tice and the best manner of manufactur­ ing orthodox and sweet smelling incense in an expeditious and economic mannar, --London Telegraph.

The Congo Railroad. the opening of the first section of the Congo railroad passed almost wnnoticed in this country, chiefly because it is due to Belgian enterprise. But for all that, British traders already realize the vast possibilities involved and are actively preparing to obtain a share of the new trade. The road at present extends from Matadi to Kenge, and thence will be pushed as rapidly as possible to Stanley pooL The list of freight charges has been published in the chief European ports, and two British and one German steamship line have made Matadi a port of call. It is confidently predicted that a Congo boom is about to commence, and that King Leopold will soon be within measurable distance of reward for his courage and patience.--London Letter. )The Singer Family Abroad. ft is extraordinary how the SingeiD. family has managed to mix itself up with the aristocracy of France. With noth­ ing bnt a huge fortune and a large stock of eccentricity the original old Singer married no less than 10 women, cover­ ing a wide range of position and charac­ ter. He numbered his descendants by the score, and these it is who have man­ aged to ally themselves with some of the proudest families in Europe. At the re­ cent wedding of Mrs. Winnaretta Singer in Paris to Prince Melchior de Polignac there was a great gathering of the Singer clans, and they1 bore such names as Rochefoucauld, Decazes, Murat, Modena and Dudley.--Cholly Knickerbocker in v Recorder. the only bow (ring) which cannot be pulled from the watch.

The bird was purchased'by itB present owner in 1880, and was then 28 years old. It is as sprightly now, it • Is stated, as any of the flock, and there is nothing in its appearance to indicate such an advanced age. In » discussion several old fowl fanciers here regard­ ing the ages of different birds it was af­ firmed that geese often lived to such an a^e, and even a longer period. 1 - BUCKLEN'STARNICA SALVE. • ?• The best Salve in the world for cuts, ;4^'%riiisesf sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever Sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, . corns and all skin eruptions, and posi­ tively cures piles, or no pay required.
