A HEKO OF THE FREE ZONE,
UTE AND ADVENTURES OE THE
INFAMOUS CORTINA.
Still Living in * Hale Old Age and
t Highly Esteemed by the Mexican
I Government.
A Fort Davis (Texas) correspondent of
the New York Times says that the Rio
Grande (pronounced Reo Grandee) is a
dry, sandy trough eleven months out of
the twelve, and rascals committing dep
redations on this sido can e«sily skip
I"cH)ss into what is known as the "Zona
Libre," or Free Zone, and be safe from
both Governments.
This little belt of nondescript soil,
stretching along the Rio Grande on the
"Mexican side for sixty miles or more, is
and has been for years the safe refuge or
retreat for all the cutthroats and outlaws
of th» Southwest. Steal a horse, mur
der a man, rob a train, or commit some
other deviltry, and all they had to do to
be safe was simply to cross the Rio Grande
dry shod and hide themselves amid the
mountainous rocks of "Zona Libre."
To give an idea of what a man can do
in thfc country and escape hanging it is
only necessary to recite a few experiences
of Juan Nepucemo Cortina, who is now
alive; hearty and well, prospering under
the fostering care of the Mexican Gov
ernment. This old rascal, gray and aged
in crime now, is a born bandit and mur
derer, and the catalogue of black crimes
charged against him would alone be suf
ficient to fill a good sized volume. He
ilways had an inherent hatred for citizens
of the United States, and especially for
Texans. No red handed Apache or any
athcr savage or Indian has ever caused to
our countrymen one-tenth of the sorrow
and mis i'y that this villain has. In his
face may yet be discovered the avaricious,
malignant, cruel sneer which has been a
true exponent of his living sbara'«tcr for
all the years of his life.
When the war with Mexico broke out
Cortino was a stalwart voung fellow, who
took possession of nearly ail the Lower
Rio Grande country and carried on a
deadly guerrilla warfare against our peo
ple. lie was, I believe, really commis
aioned by the Mexican Government as a
spy and assassin. He began his career
under this commission in April, IS4C, by
ambushing ;:*d shooting in cold blood
Colonel Tmenian Cross, Assistant Quar
tervncctcr General, United States Army.
Colonel Cross was a veteran of 1815, and
deserved a better fate than fell to his lot.
Cortina's next exploit was to trap
Lieutenant Tneodore H. Porter, Fourth
United States lafani.ry, and a handful of
—and slaughter them without mercy.
The record would be too long and dismal
to follow him through the war. For
prisoners to fall into his hands meant sure
"When the Mexican war closed
the guerrilla settled down, nominally to
ranching and farming, but his true occu
pation was horse stealing and the run
ning off of stock. When he stole from
Americans a market was found for his
»*' inder on the opposite side of the Rio
Grande at Matamoras, Cindad Victoria,
and other towns of the Mexican States of
Tamaulipas. When he despoiled his own
countrymen the animals were crossed over
and driven far inland into Texas, princi
pally to Goliad, which was then a
flourishing frontier settlement on the
Lower San Antonio liiver. His skill at
Toping was remarkable, aud his horse
manship was superb. None of that day
could equal him in either of these ac
complishments. An old Texan ranger,
'.vho is himself pretty well along in
years, thus speaks of Cortina in his
palmy days:
"I knew the fellow well. He could
handle the lariat better thau any cowboy
the Northwest or Southwest has ever
produced, and as to his nerve, why with
all his wickedness I must say that he was
the nerviest and quickest man with a
shooter I ever saw. One day in Browns
ville (old Brown was a tough town then)
Cortina was standing in the door of a
saloon smoking a cigar and apparently
looking at nothing, yet his eagle eye
covered everything and everybody in
sight. His waist was a perfect arsenal
of firearms, and among others I noticed
a large, double-barreled, old-fashioned
horse pistol, which was stuck con
veniently in front and within easy reach
fur quick use.
"A row sprang up at the other end of
the town which created some excitement.
A Mexican came running down the street,
and at his heels the City Marshal with
pistol cocked, who called for the fugitive
to halt. The pursuer stopped, leveled
his big pistol and fired. The Mexican
fell, winged, but not very badly hurt.
Cortina stood quietly looking on and
made no move to interfere until the
Mexican tumbled heels over head in the
dust. Then he threw away the cigar he
had been smoking, walked over to the
Marshal, cursed him in Spanish, drew
his pistol like a flash, and shot the
officer in the face. Then leaping on the
nearest horse (it was not his own), with
revolver in hand, he rode out of town,
veiling defiance at all Americans, but
especially at Texans.
"In the night he collected thirty des
peradoes from somewhere, armed them
to the teeth, and dashing back into
the town at daylight rode to the Browns
ville Jail, determined to liberate every
criminal and horse thief therein confined.
Of Johnson, the jailer, they demanded
the keys.
" 'Come and get them,' said Johnson,
holding them out with his left hand. One
of the Mexicans spurred forward, and as
he was about to take the keys the jailer
phot him. Then retreating, he opened
fire on the gang, but thirty revolvers rid
dled him with bullets, and the outlaws
hacked his body to pieces with their sa
bres. Cortina released the inmates of the
jail, who were nearly all Mexicans of the
worst type. One of the latter had a
grudge against the prison blacksmith,
Morris, for no other reason than because
he had forged the fellow's fetters. Morris
was called from his bed and ordered to
knock the shackles off of all of them,and
when he had finished this unwelcome job
the prisoner mentioned deliberately blew
the poor blacksmith's brains out.
"Quite Ik number of were mur-
der«d befo.'e bis day's work was dose ar>u
many stores were robbed."
As a matter of fact, this outrage out
-1 lawed Cortina, that is, as far as the Unite:
States and Texas were concerned; b".
Cortina was equal to the occasion, tor
actually conceived by way of retaliation
the bold scheme of invading Texas on o'l
own hook, not to acquire plunder aocl
spoil, but to gain territory. The release'"
criminals joined his band, which numbered
more than a full infantry regiment of the
present day. Considering the sparsely
settled condition of the country this side
of the river, and the nature and temper
of Cortina's outfit, the expedition was
calculated to do a vast deal of misclaef
before it could be finally crushed.
The United States Government had a
brave officer—a Captain of the regular
army—on duty near Brownville, and he,
calling in the assistance of rangers (rang
ers were free lance troopers -which the
Lone Star State still keeps in existence and
organization), follewed Cortina up the
river, and near the spot where the pres
ent fort Ringgold stands met Cortina and
his mounted rascals in fair fight and
•'smashed" them out of existence in one
engagement. This Captain lived to be
come a general officer in the Civil War,
winning many brevets for brave and meri
torious action on the field of battle. His
name was Samuel P. Heintzelman.
The outlaw jumped back across the
river, and, of course, was safe from
either extradition, or pursuit. "When
Maximilian came t'.oug to attempt the
conquest of Mexico Cortina was soon in
the saddle and practicing guerilla war
fare against the usurper. He actually
performed great service for the homo
Government, and in return received %
commission as full Brigadier General iy
the Meuican Army. Soon afterward he
became Governor of the State of Tamau
lipas, and when holding this exalter 1
position he encouraged the worst men in
his province to raid across the Rio Grande
and steal cattle and sheep from the
Americans.
While he was Governor of Tamaulipaa
the Grand Jurv at Brownsville at one
sitting indicted him no less than twenty
seven times for murder, each one being j
a new and personal bill against the Mexi- |
can Governor for separate offenses. But |
the Mexican Government, as well ad- \
vanccd and as fair and just as it is to- I
day, cannot see in this arch rascal very !
much to condemn, for he is now roaming :
the streets of Mexico a free man nntl ;
without restraint, while the result and I
effect of his crimes againe* African; i
will not be forgoltc- nor overcome Jir
years to come.
WISE WOIIDS.
Merit is born with men; happy those
with whom it dies.
The greatest truths arc the simplest—
so arc the greatest men.
The only way of setting the will free
is to deliver it from wilfulness.
Generosity, wrong placed, becometh a
vice; a princely*mind will undo a private
family.
Everybody must care for his neighbor's
opinion, whether he cares for his neigh
bor or not.
If we did not take great pains and were
not at great expense to corrupt our na
ture, our nature would never corrupt us.
The principal point of good breeding
is to suit our behavior to three several
degrees of men—our superiors, our
equals, and those below us.
Never live in hope or expectation while
your arms are folded. God helps those
that, help themselves. Providence smiles
on those who put their shoulders to the
wheel that propels to wealth and happi
ness.
The censure of our fellow-men, which
we are so prone to esteem a proof of our
superior wisdom, is too often only the
evidence of the conceit that would mag
nify self, and of the malignity or envy
that would detract from others.
If you cannot be happy in one way, be
in another, and this facility of disposi
tion wants but little aid from philosophy,
for health and good humor are almost the
whole affair. Many run about after
felicity, like an absent man hunting for
his hat while it is in his hand or on his
head.
A Mammoth Building
Buildings eight and ten stories, and
some even twelve and fourteen stories
high,arc no uncommon sight in our large
cities. And among these mammoth struc
tures is one which is now being erected in
Chicago by a firm of well-known pub
lishers of that city. It is to be ten stories
in hight above the basement, and the
frame is to be entirely of steel—a novelty
in the way of building. It will contain
fifteen miles of steel railway; twelve miles
of steam pipe; seven acres of floors, the
boards of which, if laid end to end,
would reach from Albany to Boston,
some 200 miles. If the cement used in
the building were in barrels piled one
upon another,the pile would be two miles
high, and the plaster used in the build
ing would cover an ordinary street for
more than a mile. In the whole struc
ture there will be some 3700 tons of
steel. The building, when finished, will
probably be unequaled in the West.*—

The First Great Railroad Accident.
The first great railroad accident
occurred on the Great Western Road of
England in 1841. A train was rushing
along when a mass of earth and stones
fell from the embankment and obstructed
the way. Eight persons were killed and
many wounded. TheCoronor's jury re
turned a verdict of "accidental death in
all cases and a deodand of SSOOO, an
engine, tender and carriages." The old
common law provided that when any
personal chattel was the cause of death
it rhould be forfeited to the King. Part
of this act was not enforced in later
years, but a heavy fine was imposed on
the owners of any chattel doing personal
ihjuiy to the King's subjects. This law
was observed as late as 1847, when
Parliament abolished the practice.— Do*

Little and Big Lqcil Fees.
The late Sunset Cox got $25 for his
first law caso, and Henry Clay's first fee
amounted to just fifteen shillings. Rep
resentative Holman, the noted econo
mist, learned how to skimp the Govern
ment by skimping his stomach to fit the
size of a country Hoosier's legal salary,
and John Allen, the funny man from
Mississippi, made his first jokes before
the bar. Speaking of the investments
of legal earnings, some of the big for
tunes have come from fees in kind which
have been retained and have grown into
millions. The late David Davis died a
millionaire. The bulk of his fortune
came from some lands about Chicago
which he was given for legal services
when he was a young man, and when
the lands were supposed to be worth
practically nothing, lie held to them,
and the city grew and the lands grew
with it, unttl they brought him in hun
dreds of thousands of dollnrs instead of
• few hundred dollars. It is so with
many of the cases that come before
many of the Washington courts and be
fore the departments. Patent lawyers
accept sometimes interests in the patents

lawyer gets one through, on the con
dition that he is to receive one-half or

finger is passed through the paper—that is
all! When one has had a good look a
small piece is stuck on this opening with
groin of rice. The yakonnine hat passing
is pa|>er; the porter's cloak, who carries
his burden, singing a cadence, through
the rain; the garment of the boatman
who conducts you on board; the tobacco
pouch, cigar case—all are paper! Those
elegant flowers ornamenting the beauti
ful hair of the Japanese ladies, and those
robe collars, which are taken for crape—
