rco correspondent is voiched for by the

of . Last londay, tivo lexioun boys,
;d Jesus Maria find Juan do )a Cruz
of Liibuste-o, were taking a herd of:
0,- 700 sheep acress the saudhills of the
is "Lovihis del Arreno," about twenty
ud four miles northerly from Fort Gar
ed land, Theso snudhills extend out
us. into the Sn11 Luis Valley about fifteen
to miles oppositu the Mosco Pass.
Ill. The herders undertook to make a.
irs "short cu.' across the hills, instead of
U,- going around, as directed by their
nt father. At first everything looked.
b- gayly ; the boys, and 'hocp, and dogs,
ou only sank a few inehes in the light,
do. white sand, and they thought how
n- foolish it was of old fogies to go
id around twenty miles, when 'it was
(a- only four acrosi. Put before they got
00 half acr6ss, ono of the sudden storms
Df aroso ; up came a gentle breeze, the
at breeze became a wind, and th wind
id an awful hurricoac ! the sand mov';d
about to blinding'clouds, hills changed
to holes, and every holo was a seeth
ing cauldron.
. The poor boys struggled hard to
alivert their doom-and Jesus Maria
managed, by drawing hisseraren over
his head rnd kecing his feet, and
climbinig as the san d piled up
around, to survive theu tornado, but
his younger brother, Juan do la Cruz
!t igrieb
euccumbed to the sulfoo: ting blast.
and as a ship goes doi ii at sea, so
sank the bravo boy, surrounded by
his bloating sheep and whining do-,
d and when the sturm oeased, as sud
denly as it commenced, little Jesus
funnd himself all alone, with quiet
at moulnds of glistening sand all around
him ; 1ad not a trace of the cruel
storm nor a wroeck of the sad disaster
could be seen..
le jile hurried home, Nhere he arrived
the neat day, and told his tale of ter
raor. Tho whole plaza turned out in
search of the lost body and to dig
out the nissing sheep. Up to the
n succeeding afternoon they had recov
-i ored over 400 sheep, most of thenm

ooo of the richest things that over
trati4pired 'in polities was developcd
at the Radical Convention in a:-sa
On tho subrlco'nit tec (consistinit
of three) aippuintedi to draft the reso
lutions was iMr. iioar, the Radical
Congressman from Worcter, ;ho
though he'did'liot vote inl CogirresS
for the back pay, yet did not return
baid grab after .e had got it.
'Thiscommtittee reported tho erics"
of'rnsolutionwi substanizally as drafted
by Mr. Uonr and ,ubsequenutiy adopt
ed by tho Converition.
itjj obs.-rved ht the resolntion
relatiug to thu so-called 's-Ilnry
grab" is so carefully worded au to
entirely okoludo the writer of the
resolution from any censure or con
dentation. The Boston Traveler
thinks tiis is "vxoxy jud'iciots on the
pa 'of Mr. Hoa'r."
When this resolution 'was presented
to the committee, the following
amendment was ofored and debated
at length by Mr. Hoar and others
Jsobted, That the flRopublioan par
ty of Alassaclus.etts desires to include
in -its condenin 4tion of the lato in
cruhvo if 'grevional salariers ,1H
those who received the money, as well
as thoso who vo;ed for the meuiare.
Tbis ainendment was ;!pted by a
to.jority of one vote, Mr. Ioar voting
agarist it. It was subsequliently e
considercd and tabled by one vote,
thalt of the 110on. Mir.la Th im- it
appe-is that the only way in which
Mr. Hoar, who rcs.cive-c his pi-epor
tion of the grab, avoids a rn.solution of1,
conleinatiouen is by ino.d est ly giving
the costirig vote to defeat it.
