H BY the W az, for fear that any Of
your friends in Ohio might become
ambitious, ahd wish 10 ill Cover
nor Lanes shoes, let ue give them
b little infoI+ matIon that might be
useful to the m. The history OF the
civil Cover ors in New Mexico
reads thus; Colonel Perez was sent
out from tie City Of Mexico, as
Governor Of this Territory, in 1887.
From -some trI1ng cause, The peo-
pIe succeeded in raising "a revolu-
.tion, the Pue bla Indians joining in
with them. The Governor was
caught and put 20 death; his body
" as stripped IA hd shockunsly man
gled; his head was carried as tro-
ply to the camp oil the soldiers and
made football Of
The Secre tary Of State, Jesus
NJ aria Alarid, called Ell Chico, was
la Ken, stripped, and scourged, and
his body pierced through and
through with ances.
Don Santiago AbreR, another
Governor, was butchered IN still
more barbara US manner. Ills hands /
we're cut of, his eyes and tongue
we're pulled ont, and shaken taunt-
ingIy in his ia &c, and in this most
brutal manner he was murdered
Jose Gonzales was declared Gov
eruor soc III after. Our friend, Gen
erai Armijo, d cleared against him,
raised torce, defeated Tim at La
Cana, took him prisoner, and, with
out even the form Of a trial, shot
him dead on the spot. Allnljo took
the reins OF 9 government into his
own hands, and held them until
General Kearqey drove him out Of
the country in 1916.
Governor Bdnt, who was appoint
ed by Genera kearney, had not
been in Office d year when he was
dragged from his house in Taos at
and murdered by the
and Puebla Indians be-
fore his own dc Tor in the, Plaza.
Governor Calhoun, tie next Gov
ernor, worn on by the cares and
lnxieties Of bis Office, died on his
way home 10 the States last sum-
mer.
What is to b ; the fate of Cover
nor Lane remains to be seen. Cen
3ral Pierce will probably get his I
head, if nobody else gets it before
him.

President Pierce, and appends t b

and reflections Of its own
"A$ confrmatory Of these views
IN regard to the character of the
President elect, we may mention 4
little anecdote that we Recently heard
of him. Shortly after bis nominal
ton, he was called upon by a party
interested, to lend his professional
services IN a certain case before the
highest judicial tribunal of the coun-
try An enormous fee was offered
far exc eeding the average amount of
the &c neral's annual reteipts from
his pro fession. Quick to perceive
that, under the circumstances, his
service were not sought because of
the value of his legal opinion, or the
professional prestige whichhe might
bring to the case, he concluded that
the object was to bring into the scale
of justice the weight that might be
given by his new and important re-
lations to the chief Executive office
Of the country. The mere suspicion
was enough to in Huce him atonce to
dismiss the temptation and decline
the brilliant offer.
~The man, who while yet out of
office, can refuse to exerci BE in his
own behalf the influence acdruing to
him from anticipated power, may be
safely trusted With its actual posses
Sion. We no n t expect Fl pm Gen.
Pierce any policy counter to the /

Nhe NJ emphis Eagie and Enquirer,
says the cars, on the thirty miles now
being use d on this end Of the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad, are do
ing fine business. The receipts
last month were about $1,000, or at
the rate of $4,000 a year. The
train yesterday took up
40 and brought down so passengers.
These figures show remarkably well,
when we consider the shOrtness of
the road and the continued inclemeh-
ency of the weather. When the road
is completed to LaGrange, a distance
of so miles, which it is believed will
be the case by the middle or last of
April, business and travel will at once
be immensely increased. The cars,
then, will in all probability bring

A Curiaus Sernan


An English paper contains the fol-
lowing curious discourse, said to have
been lately delivered by an eccentric
preacher, at Oxford:
Il am not one of your fashionable
fine-spoken, mealy-mouthed preachers
tell you the plain truth. What are
your pastimesl Cards and dice, I'D
ding and dancing, guzzling and Cutting.
Can you be saved by dice! No! Will
all the four knaves give you passport to
heaven, No! Can you fiddle your
selves into berth among the sheepl-
No! you will dance yourselves to dam
nation among the goats. Yon may
guzzle wine here, but you'll want drop
of water to cool your tongue hereafter!
Will the prophets say, Come here gam
esters, and teach US the long odds!'-
IT'S odds il they do! Will martyrs
rant, and swear, and shuttle and cut with
you! Mol the martyrs are no shutters.
You will be cut down in way you little
expect. Luc:fer will come with his
reapers and his sickles and forks, and
you will be cut down, and bound, and
housed in hell! will now tell you the
plain truth. Ammon, and mammon,
ard Moloch are making Betheron hot
for you. Profane wretches! | have
heard you wrangle, and brawl, and tell
one another before me, III see you
id first But | tell you the day
will come when you will pray to Beel-
zebub to escape his clutches; and what
will be his answers I'll see you id
frst!''

The Portland Argus, in an article re-
laiing to the management upon rail-
roads, and relating some personal expe-
rience remarks:
I'VE waited-time few-a quarter OF
an hour-a half-three quarters-still
no up train. The passengers were
uneasy. Appeals were made to the con-
ductor; he politely, but invariably ans
wered, MY orders, gentlemen, are to
wait here until the others come-and
here icait" By and by aself-appointed
Committee called npon- -Aeksrmsn, and
insisted on going forward. He main
tanned his imperturbable suav.ty, but de-
clined. At last one OF the number, to
bring matters to point, said:
"Well, Mr.. Alderman, how much lon
ger shall you stop, fyou do not hear from
that train!"
81 shall wait week, sure" he respon-
ded, sat the end Of that time shall de-
eide what is to be DONE"
Just then the up train came laundering
at the rate of thirty-iive miles an hour,
to make up for loss time; and had the
solicitation of the passengers prevailed,
we should not be telling this story, for
an inevitable collision would have &C.
Cured, which would have sent about half
of us into the other life.
