A New York journal pretends to have in
formation that the proposed excursion of Sen.
ator Cameron and other to ilexico has for
k its object the annexation, by purchase, to tho
United States of the northern States of that
republic. According to the writer quoted
he Mexican autboritits are understood to
. have acquiesced in the transfer, tho terms of
which are yet to bo settled. The territory
iirnixe.l to bo annexed is all that part or
Mexico lying north of the Rio Rspldo and the
lib Grande da Santiago, and comprises the
States oiSonora, Chihuahua, CoahueIa,Nucva
Leon, SInoloa, Durango and Zacatecas,
and one-half of Tamaullpa, one-third
' of Jalisco, a small portion of San Luis l'otosl,
and the territory of Lower California alto
gether about 438,903 square miles of territory
and over 100,OW population, of whom Io?s
than 500,000 are whites, and tho rest Indians
and mixed. The boundary line will com
mence at tho mouth of the Rapldo, following
that river to its source toward tho town of
Tinos, In latitude 22.35, longitude 101.70;
thence to tho source of tho river Santiago,
along that stream to its mouth. The move
ment Is understood to have originated with
the Mexican authorities, who desire to see
this sparsely settled country placed under a
power possessing means of enforcing order
among Its population, and of inviting emigra
tion thither.

The Akron (Ohio) Argus says : Wc have

During the wholu winter they have regu

predictions bad always been fullllled nnd
not n single disarrangement of their time
table ltntl occurred thla winter. At ono
time, when n fovere storm was announced,
they placed llftecn additional men on the

found them prf pared for it. and no delays
or dangers were nccossltnted. Of course,
the lino is it short one, but such testimony
in addition to all that has been given be

great a public blessing.
1 Llttlo Talk to tho Hoys und (Mils.
It la very hard for boys and girls between
ten and twenty to believe what older peo
ple tell them concerning thu selection of
reading matter. If a hook is interesting,
exciting, thrilling, tho young folks want
to road it. They like to feel their hair
stand on end at tho halrbreath escapes of
tho hero, and their nerves tlnglo to tho
ends of their lingers at ids exploits, and
their faces burn with passionate sympathy
in his tribulations ami what harm Is
there In it? Let us ae what harm there
may be. You know very well that a child
fed on candy and cake und sweetmeats
soon loses all healtlty nppetlto for nutri
tious food, his teetii grow black and crum
ble away, Ida stomach becomes deranged,
his breath offensive, nnd thu wbolo phys
ical und mental organization Is dwarfed
and Injured. When ho grows older lm will
crave spices and tobacco and alcohol to
stimulate his abnormal appetite and givo
pungency to tasteless though healtliful
food. No man who grows tip from such
childhood is going to havo the llrst posi
tions of honor anil trust und usefulness in
tho comtnunity where ho lives. The men
who hold those joiitlons wero fed with
tnilk and bread and meat when they wero
young, nnd not with trash.
Now, the mind like tho body grows by
what it feeds upon. The girl who lllläher
brain with silly, sentimental, lovesick
stories, grows up Into a silly, sentimental,
lackadaisical woman, useless for all the
noblo and sub? tantial work of life. The
boy who feeds on sensational nuwsjiapers
and exciting novels has no Intellec
tual muscle, no commanding will to
make bis way In the world. Then, aside
from the debilitating effect of such read
ing, the inlntl Is paisoned by Impure asso
ciations. These thrilling stories have al
ways murder, or theft, or lying, or knave
ry as an Integral part of their tissue, and
boys while reading them live in tho
companionship of men and women, of
boys and girls, with whom they would bo
ashamed to be seen conversing, whom
they would never think of inviting to
their homes aud introducing to their
friends, ami whose very names they would
not mention in polite society as associates
and equals. Every book that one reads,
no less than every (Himer tlmt one eats,
becomes part and parcel of the Individual,
and we am no more read without Injury
nn unwholesome book or periodical than
we can eat tainted meat and not stiller
thereby. Just as thero are every where
stores lull ot candy, cake, and liquor, and
tobacco, and spices, so there aro cv;ry
where books, newspapers and magazines
full of the veriest trash, and abounding in
every thing boy and girls should not
read. And just as the honlthlul stomach,
passing nil these pernicious habits, will
choo.e sound aliment, so the liealtluul
mind will reject the unwholesome litera
ture current everv where, and select such
only as is intrinsically good. iV. T. Tri
