A SISTER IN A TIGHT PLACE-At i N-, ooo Saturday eveuing, fatigued by his long journey, a wugonor, with his son John, drove his toam into a good range, end determined to pass tho Sabbath, enjoy ing a season of worship with tho good folks of tho village When thc time for worship arrived" Joli o was sont to watoh tho team, while tho wagoner wont in with tho orowd. Tho preacher had hardly announced his subject before tho old mau foll sound asleep. Ile sat near tho partition in (ho centre of the body slip. ?Just over against him, 6epar ftted bnljr by tho low partition, sat a fleshy lady, who seemed all absorbed in tho ser mon. Sho struggled hard with her feelings until uhablo to coutrol them ony longer, Hm burst out with a loud ?or?am, aud shouted ot tho top of her voice, rousing tho old mon, who, but half awako, thrust his arms around her waist and cried very soothingly: "Wo, Nance! wo. Hero, John," oalling to his son, "out tho bolly band, and loose tho breeching, quick, or she'll tear every thing all to piooe?s" It WOB al) tho work of a moment, but tho siattr forgot to shout, thc preacher lost tho thread of his disoourso and tho mooting Oamo prematurely to on end; while deeply mortified, tho man skulked away, deter mined not to go to mooting nguiu until he oould munago to keep his senses by remain ing awake. In o dcBpcrato duel last weok, in tho Indian Notion, botwecn F. O. Carpenter, a Ghooinw chief, ond Col.

And seeing that ho was not seen He entered nt the swinging sorcen. And to rebuko tho drinking mon Whom ho observed around him then, He ordered os ho know ho'd ought ter, A glass of puro, clear, crystal water. He set it down; "Ah, ha," said ho, "Cold water is tho drink for mo." And so to make it cold and nioo, He pouuded in a little ioo. Healthful and good, sliced very thin, Ho dropped a little lemon iu. And then he said, "Sweets to the sweeot," Aud stirred somo sugar in tho trent. To kind ombracc tho mixturo up, Ho dashed somo bitters in tho cup, Then just a lootle whiskey-well, Say twenty Hues of nonpareil, Aud while he stirred it with a spoon He sang, in gloeful toucs, this tuno: "Water, cold water, puro and free, Water is tho drink for mo." Ho raised his head; loud, loud ho laughed, And to tho dregs the goblet quaffed. "This is thc ocw omendmont plan," Remarked tho temperate Kansas man. Then set his course, and he'd that day, Due West, his calm imperial way. Tho Life of Billy tho Kid. [From tho St. Louts Globo Domocrat.J LAMY, N. M., July 25 -In your pnper of last Monday, which, owing to tho floods and washouts along tho railroad, has just reached hero, 1 soo you copy tho long and absurd sketch of Hilly tho Kid and his fictitious castle, furnished thc Philadelphia Time* by its correspondent at Port Sumner, New Mexico, in a letter dated July 10, Tho Times correspondent gives, as tho herc nf nu alleged wonderful adventure in tin castle of thc famous Kid, and tin1 authority for his Munohauscnish pen picture of thal redoubtable boy dovil, o Mr. Duncan, will is described us having heen at ono timo : member of General Sherman's steff, but when his odventuro ocourred, connect?e with a railroad surveying party, and "novt a successful trader at Al a mesa, New Mex ico." The whole story of the Kid's gor geous stylo is tho wildest bosh; his impreg nable castle was a clear case of a castle ir ? Spain, and his gold braided broad cloth his royally caparisoned steed, his blael i buckskin trousers with rows of fringa ant fi I vcr bells down tho legs, and his ?30( hat bluzing with gold and jewels, were th? gauziest fabrics of a whiskcyed brain. But without any of tho blazonry of huav bug and cmbroidory of fiction, tho histor] of "Billy tho Kid'' eclipses all Bcadle't ' dime romances of border ruffianism ant crime, and dims by comparison tho lustre o: Missouri's pct heroes aud exemplars, tlx dashing Jameses. Ho needs no bogus sil ver spurs stuck on his heels by n Phila delphia scribbler to send him galloping down to a bloody and dare devilish immor tality. Tho papers speak of him as Bill] Conley, Hilly Goyle, Billy Donovan, ant Hilly Bonny, cod aa many regions olfttno: for tho honor of his birth ns for that o ancient Homer. Tho New York Sun set him down os a Now York beer saloor brawler of years ugo Springfield, III. Sherman, Texas, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and several other places oro orodited witt his nativity. THE KID'S FIRST MURDER. His roal namo was Billy McCarthy, ont ho wos born in Now York. When ho was i very small boy tho family settled in Sil vc City, Grant County, Now Mexico, and hi was raised in that place After tho dcatl of his father his mother married a mai named Autuin, who is now living in George town, Now Mexioo, nnd a brother of Bill; is a miner in that region. When ho wa about 15 years oid ho was jailed in Silve City for robbing a storo. Hoing vory smut for his ngc, somo Indies took pity on bin and assisted him to esoapo, which ho dit by orawling up through tho ohimney o the jail 1 Iis feminine sympathizers thei furnished him clothes and money and h skipped over into Arizona. Hore, when h was 10 or 17 years old, ho killed bis firs man in the most deliberate, cold bloedei style. Pursuit was hot, and ha Hod baol to Now Mexioo and took rcfugo among th cow boys of Lincoln County, just about th timo that tho Lincoln County war brok out. This war, aocording to Marion Tamer who was a oonspiouous figure in it, origi nated in tho determination of old Joh Chisutn and his purtner, Alcxande MoSwain, to establish o monopoly io th stooft grazing business nnd make thomsolve what they claimed to bo, tho cattle kings o of tho Pecos Valloy. They drovo in 80,' OOO head of cattle. Tho herds of th smaller ranchers woro swept away with th rolling nvalanoho of hoofs and horns. Th loosers attempted to reclaim their animal Collisions betwoon tho herders were of con stant ooouironoo. Tho firm of Murphy i Dolan & Co. * headed tho ranchmen am borders opposed to Chisutn Sc MoSwain Both sides oulistcd all tho strengt)] am iofluonoo tlioy could. Chisutn & MoSwain hired Hilly tho Kid, and his reckless dare dovilism, his deadly Luark8inao3hip, his skill as a horseman, aud his delight iu murder made him the leader of his fuotion. TUB KID AN OFFICE? OF THE LAW. Early iu 1870 Chisutn had "tho Kid" appointed Deputy Constarlo, and armed with a wurra nt for tho arrest, on somo tri val ohargo of William Morton and Frauk Ha lter, herdsmen iu tho employ of Tom Cat ron, formerly of lafayette County, Mo, and tho partner of Hon. Stephen li. Edkins,! also a Missouri boy, but long tho Now I Mexican delegate ia Congress, and now ooo of tho ?'solid mon" of New York. After orre8liug Morton and Hakcr tho Kid declared his determination to kill them. A mun named McCluskoy, who had Soconi pauicd him and assisted in making the arrest, interfered to prevent tho murder. Tho Kid promptly shot him dead in his tracks and then killed tho two prisent as near Chisum's rnuch. Sheriff Brady and Deputy Sheriff George Hiudman of Lincoln County went out to arrest him for this triplo murder. The Kid waylaid them, and, firing upon them from behind; tho adobo wall around McSwuin's house, killed thom. Ho now gathered around him a band of outlaws and desperadoes, and defied tho county, Terri tory, otid Uoitod States authorities. In June, 1879, Marion Tumor, deputy sheriff of Lincoln County, had u warrant placed in his hands for tim arrest of tho Kid, for the murder of Morton Biker, MuClusky, Brady and llindman. Turnor organized a posse of thirty tivo men, prin cipally ranobmcn and cow boys of thc anti Chisutn faction, sud started on his desperate errand. A MEMORABLE FICIIIT. On tho 17th of Juno ho oamo upon thc Kid with sixty three men, and instantly began a running fight, whioh lusted three duys. Lieut. Col. Dudley of the Niuth Cav alry (Goo. Hatch's famous colored regi ment,) learning that no rectiforccmcti's were being neut to tho Kid, took two companies of his regiment and went to Tumor's assis tance. The Kid and his gang took shelter in McSwain's house, in thc town of Lin coln, thc most elegant furnished dwelling iu thu Territory; and it is said that during the light Mrs. MoSwain encouraged her wild garrison by playing inspiring aird on lier piano and singing rousing battlo song?, until tho besieging posse, getting the range of tho piano from tho sound shot it to pieces with their heavy rifles. On tho third day of thc skirmish Turner had thc houso Hied by throwiug buckets full of blatting coal oil into it and over it, and about dusk tho desparadoes made a rush to escape their to horses. A desperate hand to hand fight ensued, in which tweivo of the Kid's men and two of Turner's posse wcro kilted, MoSwoiu himself being among thc slain. In thc break from tho burning houso tho Kid's partner, Tom O'Fallahcr, a young boy from S:in Antonio, Texas, no ticed ono of his friends full near his side. Amid a perfect storm of balls and buck shot, ho cooly stopped, picked up his oom rado, and started to carry him off in his anni; but, finding he was dead, throw down tho body, and, pistol in hand, fought; his woy out Tom was killed by Doputy Sheriff Pat Garrett's posso shortly before tho capture of tho Kid lust winter. Thc Kid esoaped Uro, bullets, und Turner's posso at thc MoSwain houso fight, and imme diately reorganized Iiis ging. LEW WALLACE'S ADMIRATION OF THE KID. About this time Axtell was removed from tho Governorship of tho Territory and Lew Wallace was appointed iu his piuco Chisum went up to Santa Fe, and by Borne means, won tho new Governor over to thc side of tho Kid. George Taylor, Turner's partner, talking to me about the affair, suid: "Wallace wusa d-d romantio old fool, and easily lcd himself to sympathize with thc Kid; often speaking of him as 'that brave boy,' or 'that wild young knight er rant.' Ho lost sight of his crimes in tho romance of his devilishness." Under tho influonce of this foolish son timcnt, Gov. Walluco issued n geuernl pro clamation of pardon lo nil the parties, io oluding army officers, who had been en gaged in tho Lincoln County outbreak, commanding them to lay down their orms, go home and keep tho peuoo. Tho army officer allusion of this romarkuble pronun oiamcnto wus aimed at Lieut. Col Dudley of tho Ninth Cavalry, and, vory naturully, exasperated that gentleman by planing him, iu Gubernatorial grace and estimation, cxnotly upon a level witli cowboys, outlaws, and Kids. His novelistio Exoollcnoy's bugle had scarcely rung truco when tho widow of MoSwain resolved to prosocuto tho slayers of her husband and destroyers of her homo. Sho employed a lawyer uuincd Chu pm un of Las Vegas, who went down into Lincoln County und promptly begun to stir up all tho old strife, but was suon murdered by a man named Campbell and othor of tho op posite fuotion. When Gov. Wallace heard of tho death of Chapman, ho roso in all his might and majesty of a little Territorial offioisl with o tincar, and Went down into Lin coln County, outlawed Turner and his posso and all other officers of tho law who had bcon fighting Chisum and MoSwain and tho Kid and his gang, had Turner and ten or twolvo of his posse put in irons, and Gol. Dudley arrested and relieved of hi's command. noW T?ft'NKll LOST HfS DIUDfc. Twenty ono indictments woro found against Turner for murder, arson, and oattlo stealing. Ho and his associ?tes lay in irons forty days and nights, and wore then brought boforo tho oourt for trial, tho Kid appearing 88 tho principal witness against them. They were all acquitted, but Tur ner ha* boon harassed from that day to this. "By G-d," said he last night, ?'thoy have had mo iudiotcd io ovory oourt nineo, and it has cost mo six thousand dollars to stand them off, besides all tho annoyance and loss of time." On the morning of the 27th of Sep tombor, 1879, Turner was married, at a hotel io the town of Lincoln, to a young girl named Hattie Phillips, who had a cou sin married to Surgeon Appel of tho Ninth Cavalry Tho samo evening Appel, with two oompanies of negro troop3, surrounded tho hotel, seized tho bride, and carried her off, claiming thutsho was ouly sixteen years old and u minor. She was afterward sent to Monroe, Michigan, and placed in a fe? male seminary, where she still is. Sho has an uncle living there, frederick 0. Godfrey, who was formerly Indian Agent at tho Mesouloro Agency, in Lincoln County, and who took au activo part in spiriting hor away. Her mind has siuco been so influ enced against Turner that she recently np plied for a divorce on thc ground that tho marriage was illegal on account of her mi* nority. Lt was not so uudcr tho law of tho Territory, but Turner admitted it to free her, and tho divorce was granted last month. THE KID AND COD. DUDLEY. After tho acquittal of Turner ond his men at tho trial ia Lincoln, tho Kid, oo the ad vico ol' his friends, decided to leave thc eouutry, but swore ho would kill Col. Dudley bc toro he went. A oourt martial, or oourt of Investigation as to Dudley'* patt in the fight of Juno, 1879,, was goiug ou at Knit Stanton, in Lincoln County. Judgo Ira E. Leonard, formerly ot Mis souri, but now of New Mexico, hod boen employed by Mrs. MoSwaiu to prosecute thc charges against Col. Dudley of being accessory to tho murder of her husband and tho burning of her house. Judge Leonard, at tho time a resident of Las Veges, was accompanied to Fort Stanton by John McPherson, Chief of Polioo of Las Voga8, who had been warned by tho gam blers and thugs of that place to leave on pain of death, McPhorsou had been with Quaotrell during the War and was himself a desperado. Returning to Las Vegas some time afterward, the roughs carried out their threats and killed him. As ho and Leonard were skiting in their room nt Fort Stanton ono night, .shortly after their ar rival, they heard a tap on tho window. (Iron opening tho shutter tho Kid stepped into tho room and announced that he hud come to end thc trial of Dudley by killing him. With much difficulty they succeed ed in dissuading him fiom attempting to execute his bloody purpose. Ho thoo mounted his horan and struck out for thc Staked Plains, where ho embarked in thc business of cuttle stealing at wholesale, making his headquarters nt Fort Sumner und finding purchaser? for his stolon herds among men whoso names arc by no means obscure in territorial history aod affiirs. Having a difficulty with his old employer, Chisum, in regard to wages duo him for various services, he swore vengeance against him and his, and from that time on Chis urn's herds and herders suffered. How many men he killed, how many cattle ho stoic, how many deeds of daring doviltry und cruelty he perpetrated, will probably never be known until thc record books of damnation aro opened, nnd cowboys and Congressmen, lawmakers and lawbreakers, Presidents, pirates, Governors, and thugs arc summoned to judgment. VWO MURDERS Iii THIRTY SECOND'S. During the carly part of the present year Deputy Sheriff Put Garrett ofLiooolu County coptured tho Kid and took him to Messilla, where he wus tried ond sentenced to bo hanged in tho town of Lincoln. Ile was taken to Lincoln, ironed and put under a strong guard doon after reaching tho town ho managed to knock Deputy Sheriff Bell in tho head with his hundouffs, and before ho could roeovor from tho stunning effect of thc blow, tho Kid seized his pistol and shot him dead. Deputy United States Robert Ohlinger, who had been one of thc Turnor posse in 1879, hearing tho shot, came running, gun in hand, to Dell's assis tance Tho Kid, armed willi Bell's shot gun and pistol, saw Ohlingcr coming, and oooly hailed him with "Hello, Dob!" Ohlingcr paused a second, and it cost him his life; tho Kid poured a ohargo of buck . shot into his heart, killing him instantly two murders in half a minute. Tho young mousier thou stepped out ou tho portico of tho old house in which tho dead men had been guarding him, and defied tho whole town. Ile made ono man knock Iiis irons off, and covering another with his death dealing shot gun, ordored him to saddlo a horse that was standing in the street, walked out, mounted and galloped out of town in tho prcsonoo of tho whole population, But such a enroor mu9t have an end, and "Dilly tho Kid" was rapidly non ring thc inevitable close of his blood stained career. Ho had heretofore carried death with him, but death was now close aftor him. Dep uty Sheriff Put Garrett with two oompan? ions started on his trail, swearing to capturo or kill him or die trying, in como way known only to' himdolf Garrett loamed that the Kid would probably visit tho house of Pete Maxwell at Fort Sdmnof in Lincoln County Borne time during tho night of Tuesday, July 14. Shortly boforo >nid> night Garrett went to Maxwell's end had just heated himself in the daik on the side of Maxwell's bed whon tho donr opened and in'Walked tho Kid. Instantly detect - ing, in spite of tho darkness, that thoro was somebody in tho room with Maxwell, ho levelled his"pistols exclaiming: "Quien est? Quien est?" But tho dolay of asking was fatal. Before tho words wcro off biri, lips Put Garrett's bullet was through his heurt, and "Billy the Kid," tho terror of New Moxioo, lay a gasping, quivering oorpsc, whilo his lifo blood dyed, tho dirt floor of Peto Maxwell's dark adobo hut. Eleven gory ghosts stood waiting to escort him to eternal shades. Io porsonal appearance tho Kid was auy-> thing bul a desperado or a monster. Ho was very email sud slender, being but about five feet two indies tall, and weigh ing .scarcely 120 pounds. Ho had a plain but pleasant faoc, with thin, sharp features,' bluo eyes, and light hair. Ho was calcu lated to make friends, and, slrango as it may seem, left many who sincerely mourned his death. Ono of tho best toon pf tho Territory, who, though identified with tho opposite faction, knew him well, said to mo tilts morniug: "Do you know I couldn't help feeling sorry when I hoard that boy was killed?" Ho was a splendid horseman and a dead shot, and at tho timo of his death was only about twenty two years old. Tho Uso of Lemons Tho lemon tree is a native ot Asia,' although it is cultivated in Italy, Portugal and in thc South of Prance. In Europe, however, it seldom caoecdo tho dimensions, of the smallest tree, whilo in its nativo state it grows to over sixty feet in height. Evory part of this treo is valuable in medi cine, though wo rarely employ any but its fruit, that is thc lemon itself. And every, ono knows how to employ this io lemonade -to squeeze the juice in cold watery this is tho shortest way-or to cut into thin slices and then boil it. Either way is good. Lemonade is ono of tho bett und safest, drinks for any person, whether in health or not. It is suitable, to all stomach discuses, is excellent in sickness-in cases of jaun dice, gravel and livor complaints. Tho pippins crushed may also bo mixed', with water and sugar and bc used as a drink. Lemon juico is tho best seor hu ti o remedy known, lt not only cures this, disease, but provents it. Tho band and nails aro ohm kept olean, white, sold and suplo by tho daily use of lemon instead of soap. It also prevents chilblains. Lomon is used in intermittent fevers, mixed with strong, hot, black coffee without sugar. Neuralgia may bo cured by rubbing tho part affected with a out lemon. It is o valuable also to euro warts and to destroy dandruff on thc hoad by rubbing tho roots of tho huir with it. In foot, its uses! aro manifold, and thc more wo employ it, ex tcrnally and internally, tho better wc shall (iud ourselves. Natural remedies aro tho best and na'.ure is, our best doctor if wo' , would listen (o it. Decidedly rub your hinds, hoad and gums with lomon and drink lemonade in preference to all other1 liquids. The Georgia Lawmakers* Thc bill introduced \)f Senator*. MotVhor-" tcr, making tho importation of commercial fertilizers or their manufacture in Georgia* an offence punishable as a misdemeanor, hus excited a great deal of comment and aroused u strong opposition.. Tho author of tho bill oluims that hu ween 1/0,000 and 175,OUO tons will bo used in tho orop of 1881, costing in round numbers 810,000, 000 or 170,000 bales of cotton. Ho claims that thc continued use of tho fertilizers will not only bankrupt thc farmers, but that the action of tho elie m ?cala used iu. thc manufacture of tho fertilizers "must' necessarily destroy tho groses of tho soil and thereby render it non-productive with in itself." Another most important measure before tho Lcgislataro is a bill regulating tho sale of liquor in thc different counties of tho State. Tho first section of tho bill makes the law of 1876, now in force iu thirty-two counties applioablo to tho whole State.' Under this law D person must havo his ap plication signed or endorsed by two-thirds of tho real cstato owners living within threo miles of tho placo in which he proposes to do business, if in tho oountry, beforo ho can obtain a license; and then it is optional with tho board of county commissioners or ordinary to issue tho license or not. Sec tion 2 of tho bill provides that, os to in corporated cities and towns of tho State, upon tho petition of ono-fourth of tho inhabitants to tho ordinary of tho county, ho shall order an election, and, if tho voto is for "whiskey," it may bo sold under tho laws now existing; if against whiskey no license will bc allowed. Tho finance committee of tho Georgia Legislatura havo rooommondod tho con struction of a new capitol building at a cost of ?1,000,000 to be paid in yearly instalments of 8200,000. INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATOII.-Hon. H. 1.
