It is rumored that the ambitious Les lie Emshaw, governor of the Iowa tribes, who is here with a great follow ing, views with little satisfaction the pretentions of Teddicus to the succes sion, and that he is intriguing with Hacna, PJatt and other eminent chaps with the view to setting aside the claims of Teddicus at the conclusion of this reign, giving the crown to Leslie I.'

Two hundred captive Filipinos, with their wives and children, will be auctioned off to help pay the expenses of the campaign. After the auction Sparticus Pettigrew will be lowered into the den containing the fierce Numdia, Colo., lions which Teddicus drove through the streets today.

Sioux City Tribune. PRIMITIVE MAIL-BAGS . Mexican Runners Who could keep up with a Horse. During the first few years of my stay in Mexico, before we had built roads, runners brought all my mail and cor respondence ftequently from the Cape, distant .nearly.two hundred miles. They carried it in a handkerchief tied around their loins. They were absolutely re liable. I never knew them to fail. Even after roads were built and teams run ning regularly upon them, the runners were frequently employed. Once it was my good .fortune to overtake the most celebrated of them. I was in a light buggy which I had had built especially to enable me to take rapid journeys to the capital, distant about forty-five miles on .the old road. 1 had a noble span of horses seventeen and a half hands, which the natives called "Ios ele fantes." It was a down-grade traveling north, the road in the foot-hills excel lent. On nearing the coaet it became sandy and heavy. I was driving at a fine, easy gait, when I saw a man some distance ahead throning a ball, appar ently, which he would overtake and throw again and again. I quickened my pace, but the runner also spurted, and thus we traveled for nearly an hour, when 1 overtook him. I then discover ed that be threw the ball with his foot, without pausing or Btooping. He was returning from the delivery of mail, and varied the monotony of ..the journey in that manner. He kept pace with me with ease, and when we reached the heavier portions of the road passed me. 1 afterward learned that the ball was of wood, and that it is a favorite practice of the runners.
