Adventures With Robbers.
A severe Storm kept me at
`ranclie for several days; and
during,the time . I had to resort to
rnany,.expedients in order to' relieve
the monotony of the. situation. I
played cards and chess with Don
Jose, but he being an indifferent
hand at these games, they consequent
ly gave me but little amusement.
The thbught occurred to me that
the old .man - anght afford me some
entertainment by the narration of
scime Peints r in his early life. I
therefore adroitly introduced topics
nat . .' knew, Woof(' lead to : the sub
ject, and pretty soon got him talk
ing about the. past.
" When I Was twenty years
old," begatliDon Jose, I went to
live with Don
: Refugio Torres at his
hacienda bn. I!:'sconditio Creek. It
was just three .leagues distant from
D ran g o,'tbei•efow nothing of a ride.
I was employed in the capacity of
an under superior of .the cattle,, and
received 31,15. Orders.from' Pedro Ri
vas, the major-domo, for Don Refu
go was a very quiet, indolent and
easy, man, and troubled himiself very
little about busine,s, the manage
ment of which he left entirely to
Pkivto.
" For some . ..cause other r —l nev
er could find .out what--the major
domo took a great disliketotne; and,
being a surly man, I got from him '
nothit g but an
,abundance of hard
work, and no coantity of ill
will. I went :toDon Refugio with
an, exeellatit recommendation from
My former employers, and as my
mother had: been a sort of distant
connection in the - Terres' family,
l)on Refugio looked upon me with
a certain degree of favor that was
not accorded to every person on his,
place, •
"We used. to raise a - good many
cattle on Escondido Creek, and send
them to Durango for sale., The
herders alwayi drove the beasts there
while I followed leisurely in the
rear until - they -- arrived; when -- oltr
agent would' sell them - and pay over
the money to me, which I would
secure on my 'person and bring. to
Don Refugio.
" I had been; at the hacienda about
a ryeitr *lied. one - OtniY Mends made
me a present or a fine blood-hound
which I named Moro. , The animal
was but three months; _old when I
got him, and as he grew to strength
and stature he became 'very much
att. - ad:tett. to Me. I really: loved that
animal, for though he had a swage
nature, he was ; gentle as a lanib to
me. Me accompanied me wherever
I went, and slept at the foot;,. of my
bed. • It seemed to me that he . inta
the only real friend I had, in the
world. .
"One autumn evening, Pedro Ri
vas informed me that some cattle
would start the -following morning
for Durango, and as one of the herd
era-was sick, I would have to twist
in driving thenr. At first I inclined
to resent what I considered as an
affront and a trick ' to mortify me ;
but, upon second thOnght, I conclud
ed to have no words Wilh him, as he
might make it-a cause of complaint
to Don Refugio. Therefore, the-next
morning 531 1 7 ine - on the 'Biddle' with
one herder to amompany Mei and my
faitlitel Mord trotting by my side.
There were thirty ,headvf cattle- in
all, bearing Don Refugio's,' brand.

neyed along, whistling and talking
to. Moro, but paying little attention
to ,the illimtured Ilenito. We reach
ed. Durango in time forthe greatfair,
which they have every .year, and our
agent speedily
.sold the cattle for a
gOod price, and -turned the money
over to me to take beck to Don Re
fugia. I always made it a custom
to stop at the Fonda del Rumba`, for
Juanita the pretty daughter of ;the

her when was better off in life. A
Young man alWays looks forward to
making money, and notwithstanding
my situatiOnyielding me only enough
to support myself, still I thought
there would come a turn in my. af
fairs whereby I could claim Juanita
for ray bride.
"I found my_ sweetheart on 'the
watch for me, for she bad heard
from a traveler that I was on ,the
road, I spent two days in her com
pany, and got ready to depart, when
suddenly I discovered that Moro
was missing. I searched about the
stables for him, but he was 'no
where to be found. I couldu't
count for his absence, and was qnite
sure he wonldn't follow any pne,ifor
he had a certain ferocity towards
strangers that made it unsafe for
them to meddle - with him.
"But Moro was gone, and I had to
return. and the idea of going without
him made rite feel very unhappy-.' I
had sent the herder,
Benito, ahead
of me the previous (lay, as I did not
wish the fellow's society. Just'as I

and, to tny astonishment., the man
whom I had met at the Fonda (lei
Bombs, asked me to enter, and Wok
my horse and gave it to a boy to put
in the stable. Suddenly I heard sev
eral sharp barks, which I at once
recognized as .loro's. I made no
remark, however. fearing I might be
mistaken after all, but went up to the
room he showed me, and. But doWn

afforded me; light. Something made
me suspicious of the man, and I de

The man evidently knew I had mon

always carried, and found they were
ready for use at a moment's notice.
As 1 laid. them down beside mei I
heard a snuffing at my, door. Opt
ing up I opened it cautiously, and,
to my joy, Moro, bounded into me,
and commenced licking my hands.
I fairly hugged him as I exclaimed,

"If I had suspicions before, they

had escaped, from the man's custody,
and came to warn me of his treaeli

I must fall." 1

The erm , diptherta is derived from
a Greek word, signifying a skin ot

There it l no, doubt: sitatever that the
disease revailed e4,ensively at dif.

teenth'and eighteenth centuries. In

very great attention Trom English or
Amerlea,n physicians until the lout
break of an epidemic in Boulogne.
in January, .1855,tllowed shortly.,
after' in this co untry by prevailing
sore throat of a severe character.
since that time the disease
. has exist. ,
ed more or less, in the form of an
epidemid all over tl . Bi country: '
Diptheria is a specific blood dis- •
ease, which runs a': rapid course: It
is Uspreadine inflaination of, the fae
ces, gullet and respiratory tract, with
tile exudation of lymph. In some
instanced it is confined to the mucus
membrane of the nassal passage, re
covery -br death occurring before
the morbid action has extended Very
extensively to • the. adjoining struc
tures, The lymphatic glands of the
neck !often • become • swollen anditen
der, especially in scrofulous peraons.
Diptheria and scarlet fever some
times occur as epideinics in the same
district,-
W hile-occaiionally they co
exist in, one individual. This will
account for the impression that some
entertainlthat diptheria,is only scar
let fever withoutan eruption. There
is now and then, in modified, scarlet
fever, •An exudation resembling' , the
diptheretie membrane. Nhile‘_they
resemble each other in many features
investigation shows that they are
perfectly distinct diseases. Very few
persons indeed suffer more than once
from scarlet fever. An attack of dip
therms may, at any time, be followed
by an _attack as severe. as the first.
There is 'also a very marked differ
ence in the sequels; of the two affec
tions.: DtPtheritic affections are con
tagions (not infectious). By contag
ion is understood the transmission,
of a disease -from one person to
another.* direct or indirect Contact.
Contagion and infection are general
ly regarded as synonymous. Fre
quently contagion is applied to dis
eases note produced by contact, as
measles, scarlet fever, etc., while • in
fection is used for those that require
positive contact, itch, etc., and con
versely., Diseases which cannot be
procured in any other way than by
- contagioni are said to have tlictir ori
gin in spebtfic contagion..Bretounean
asserts, train the consideration of in
numerable' : facts, that those who at
tend patients with diptheria cannot
contract it; unless the dipretheritic
secretion, in.'the liquid pulverulent
state, -is placed in contact with a mu
cous membrane, or with a part of l the
skin denuded of epidermis.
' By these means any sore can he '
converted in a diptheric appearance. •
Diptheria, 'attacks all classes of per
sons 'and at' all ages. Chidren are
not liable to contract it. It is prob
ably most fatal to the poor, or such
