But there's an inward, spiritual speech
That greets us still, though mortal tongues

Take up the songs where they broke of

THERE is good story told recently
of Baron Rothschild, of Paris, one OF
the richest men in the world. On a
very wet and disagreeable day the
Baron took a Partisan omnibus, on his
way to the Bour5e, near which the
''nabob of finance" alighted, and was
going away without paying. The driv-
er stopped him and demanded his fare
Rothschild felt in his pocket, but he
had not q penny in change. The
driver was very wroth. swell, what
did you get in for if you could not pay?
You must have known that you had no
money" 81 am Baron Rothschild ~
exclaimed the great capitalist, land
there is my card" The driver threw
the card into the gutter. "Never
heard of you before;' said the driver,
land don't want to hear of you again.
But want nay fare-and must have
il !" The great banker was in haste.
81 have only an order for million, -
he said; "give me change" and he
proffered coupon for fifty thousand
francs. The conductor started, and the
passengers set DIP hOarse laugh. Just
then an "Agent d'Change" came by,
and the Baron Rothschild borrowed of
him the six sous. The driver was now
seized with kind of remorsetul re-
spect, and, turning to the money king,
he said: If you want ten francs, sir,
don't mind lending them to you on
my own account"

The End of a PrOtraeted Drought.

After one of the most extended
droughts ever known in this section
OF the country-Teaching over pc
riod of eighty-five days, from Aug. 8
TO Nov. 2-the tiood-gates of heaven
opened shortly after midnight oi
Wednesday, and the welcome rain de-
sceuded To the thirsty earth in cOpious
and refreshing showers. The per-
formance opened at o'clock in brisk
style, although ten minutes before that
hour the heavens were clear and star.
lit, and gave no more promising evid-
ence of rain than has been seen there
for nearly three months.
For half an hour the rain contin
ued its vigorous and beneficent SER
vice, and then easing off, there was a
lull until nearly 8 o'clock, when, with
rise in the wind, the rain came up
again, end then for more than half an
hour the floods fell and the winds
blew with savage ferocity that seem
ed to indicate purpose to make up
for lost time.
Suffice it to say that the dry spell
has ended at last, and that thousands
who have long suffered for want OF
water are now happy. The total rain
fall was one inch and three-tenths-
evidence that while the deluge lasted
it was one OF the most violent on re-
record. The drought just ended was
almost unexampled in its duTatiOn.-
The dry spell of 1874. occurring at
about the same time of the year,
lasted seventy-one days-Or fourteen
days less than the duration of that OF

The United States court for the

Lrict court for Bernatillo county, will

was heavy docket, but such has been
the prOmptitude with which business

TO be discharged on Wednesday.
Hon. John [. Redick, the lately APP
pointed United States Judge for this
district, and who has presided in his
district for the first time, has won en-
comiums from ali sorts of people, eX-
cept criminals, aud his knowledge OF
the law, and the business of his rul-
ings and decisions elicit even their ap-
proval. / have yet to hear any mem
Der of the bar or officer of the court
speak disparagingly of the Judge, but
OF the contrary, all unite in commen-
dation Of his legal ability, the thor
oughness with which he examines diff

scientiOusness and the cleaTness ofhis
instructions to the juries. All agree
in hoping that Judge Redick may long
remain upon the bench Ofthe district;
should he do so, we heve the assur-
ance that justice will retain her sway,

yield OF the wheat crop of near
ly one-sixth, while the quality is some
what superior. Every section of the
union indicate reduced product eX-
cept the middle states. Figures point
to a yield of two hundred and forty
five millions bushels. Rye is reported
per cent. less than in 1915, but the
quality is better. Barley. = per cent.
less than last year. Buckwheat, full
average. Oats show a falling off of %
per cent. Every section of the union
is deficient. The corn crop is deficient
but figures are not yet obtained. The
cotton crop will be large. and likely
approach the heavy yield Of 1875.
