The First Appearance of the Yankees
in Santa Fe.

The first American who seems to
have penetrated to New Mexico was
James Pursley-an adventurous fur
trader who found his way up the Arkan-
sas, travelled extensively through the
mountains of what is now Colorado.
and finally worked his way down to
Santa Fe, where he went to work as
carpenter, growing rich through high
wages, but suffering always a feeling of
restraint. An occasional Frenchman
had appeared but Pursley (who, by-the-
way, is credited with being the first in
telligent:man who discovered gold in
the Rockies) was the sole citizen of the
United States who was there to welcome
the immortal Pike when, on that bleak
March day in 1906, he unwillingly
tramped into Santa Fe at the head of his
Falstaffian band, hatless, bootless, and
trouserless through years campaign
ing On the plains and in the mountains.
The Mexicans were greatly alarmed
by this sudden realization of the prox-
unity of the progressive and well armed
Yankees, and their CONSERVATION re-
suited very unhappily for the few leaders
of that conquering tide that finally
should overwhelm the effete rule of
Spain in the New World yet for a long
time after Pixies expedition nothing oc-
Cured to brighten further the proud and
indolent hidalgos.-Er,sest ZngersoN, in

FOUR Cinnamon recently appeared
before the Supreme Court in New York
as the incorporators of "Long We Tong
Eng VII" which was discovered to mean
"The Order and brotherhood ofMasons.'
Naturally enough, in view of the discov-
cry of so-callcd Masonic emblems under
our "Cleopatra's needle, an: the con-
sequent discussion of the authority OF
Masonry, this curious fact was lnVestl-
gated, and the Chinese incorporat,ors
said that they were Masons before they
came to America; that they had been
tried and proved as such by American
and English Masons; that they have
evidence to prove the existence OF Ma
sonry in China for thousand years,
and that the signs and grips are the
same as those Of other Masons. The
passwords, although different in sound,
have the same significance as those OF
other Masons.

A Story of the Commune.

aged to escape from the burning city.
Having remained on the barricades to
the last he had no time to change his
clothes and was consequently obliged to
wander about the whole day in kept and
regimentals, with his sword dangling by
his side. Toward evening, however,
he fell in with a shepherd, good-natured
almost to idiocy, and knowing nothing
whatever of politics. The two men en-
tered into conversation and at the end
of half an hour the refugee, necessarily
haunted by the fear of seeing the gen
darmes make their appearance, proposed
an exchange of costume to the ''yokel."
Naturally dazzled by the splendor of
the others military garb, the country
man jumped at the offer, never
dreaming of the danger he in
CURED in donning his companions at
tire
The exchange was carried out. The
two men undressed, redressed and
parted. The pseudo-shepherd made for
Paris, wearing blouse, canvas trousers
and straw hat. The real Simon Pure,
on the other hand, calmly went on
minding his sheep, presenting a rather
lncongruous aspect with the sword
hanging by his side and the crook in his
hand.
What might have been naturally ex-
pected to happen actually occurred. A
patrol came across the unlucky shep-
herd and asked him for explanations
about his costume, and these not being
deemed altogether satisfactory the
countryman was taken into custody, and
ultimately led off to Satory to 60 before
a cOhrt-martial there.
The unfortunate wretch, who had no
one to speak a word for him, either did
not know, or was so dazed that he
could not remember his birthplace, and,
in the end, was sentenced to transport
tation to the lie DIES Pins. Amiot as the
man is named, was accordingly sent,
and by August, 1878, he had not been
pardoned. One of his fellow-convicts
lately wrote to say that "Amiot was
awaiting the termination of punish
ment which he did not understand, and
was expiating a crime which he had had
no thought of committing" Unluckily,
he was condemned for life, and whether
since pardoned or not we are ignorant.
He may possibly be considered dan
gerous character. Perhaps his very
is taken for Discrimination.
Be this as it may, his story, while it has,
ludicrous side, is at the
bottom horribly sad and grave, and APP
pears to us calculated to cause reflection

A CASE FOR A SOLOMON.

1t there is any one thing they like-not to
say love-up around Colfax, it is turkey OF
pigeon-shooting match; but the turkey
shooters are in the majority. A.turkey sharp
shooting tournament-that' the name, now
adays-has not been held there for some
time, and as the long-iron knights were keen
to open the spring with an exhibition of their
craftsmanship, match was arranged for to
take place last Sunday, and according to
the Nevada county papers, it promised to be
way up affair, or, as one OF the shooters
expressed it, "a daisy" The manager of
the match interested all the local
sportsmen, and not few from
outside the immediate vicinity of
Colfax. To be sure of sufficient supply
of targets he ordered the turkeys from large
poultry dealer of Sacramento, directing by
letter that agiven number of fresh turkeys be
sent to Colfax Saturday evening. The dealer
pleased at the receipt of large order, made
extra efforts and gathered In superior lot of
the birds, which he shipped in fine condition
to arrive exactly at the time directed, and
the turkeys did arrive, and in good order
too. But alas for human hopes alas for
faith in poultry dealers; the dismay and rage
of the manager of that match may be imag-
~ OduhOb NC Ollc cublfc
lot of nicely dressed turkeys were deliv-
cred, innocent of feathers, disemboweled,
cleaned as neat as a pin, and their
heads tucked up in those natty lit
tie paper-caps the dresser of fowls twists
so deity about the head of the victim of his
skill. As he gazed on that pile of unroasted
turkey, the manager was greeted by shout
of laughter from the assembled crowd, which,
it is said, sreverberated among the surround
ing hills" and re-echoed far up the Great
American canyon, and was heard as it shat
tered the breeze at Dutch Flat. There was
no turkey-match there was silence and sor-
row, and jeering and joking, instead; and a
new dictionary of pet phrases might have
been compiled from the clouds of objurgations
and excavations that foated thick in the at
mosphere of Colfax. The manager refused
to receive the turkeys; the Sacramento dealer
will probably claim that he filled the order,
according to the law of the market, which
may be said to read, Whenever turkeys are
ordered, dead turkeys are meant, and live
turkeys are to be taken as not desired" It's
a case for some modern Solomon to decide,
and in the event of no such wise man turn
ing up equal to the occasion, the Courts may
have an opportunity to take hand in that
turkey tournament.

spoken Of at the meeting
The Managers of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum beg leave to submit the following re-
port of its affairs during the year ending
April, 1880.
As another year closes and we enter upon
the new, we acknowledge with gratitude the
watchful care of our Heavenly Father, and
thank Him for the many mercies and bless
ings with which our path has been strewn.
Since our last report ninety-one children
have found home in our asylum; of this
number, forty.eight are girls and forty three
boys; thirty-four children have been provided
with homes or taken by relatives; of the one
hundred and three now in the institution,
thirtyfive are under six, and forty-seven are
between six and ten years of age; seventy
one are natives of California.
The school, under the immediate care
of the City Board of Education, is divided
into four grades viz: fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth the average attendance per
month for the year, 50. During the term
there have been 50 pupils at present there
are 65 names on the roll.
The older children attend church and
sabbath school, and one hour of each day is
devoted to religious instruction. Bible study
and singing. The library contains about 500
books. Considering the number of inmates,
there has been but little sickness, and we have
to record but two deaths.
The completion of the new and improve
ments made to the old part of the asylum
building have added greatly to its appear
ance, as well as to the comfort of those who
find shelter beneath its roof.
The receipts for the year have been

PERFECTION has never yet been
reached in the history of human experience,
but we are daily striving to attain that de-
sirable end. In many lines of effort humanity
is showing decided advance as the years go
by, and even in articles of common necessity
the aim is visible of striving after what is
best and beautiful. Not many generations
ago, our forefathers, wives and daughters
considered themselves happy if they had the
opportunity of clothing their feet with a
something that looked very much like pair
of Californian tramp" brogues. They had
then no such luxury as our Sacramento ladies
can now boast. Something very near per-
lection has been reached lately in ladies'
shoes, being French kid, side-laced and side
buttoned shoes, of the very finest quality, a
perfect ft-indeed literally glove-ftting
and in every way desirable. These goods can
be had only from Weinstock & Lubin, Me-
chanics' Store, who introduced them to this
community only short time ago, yet to-day
they are the most sought after of any shoe
that this city has ever seen, and their
popularity is Just. They have lately received
another grade of side-laced shoes, at the low
price of 50 so a pair, which bid fair to follow
the lead of the finer goods.
