not know but what Ben had deter

The boys suddenly remembered that
it was time to go home, and got out of

also left, and during the day turned
out with the freboys and assisted in
celebrating San Jacinto day. While
on the grounds, an officer informed
him that complaints had been made
against him, and he promised to call
and settle the fines. After having any
amount of fun out at Pressler's Gar
den, Ben came back to the city, and,
about 9 o'clock, discovered that festive
little keno game ''goose," and all in full
blast, and as he had given orders for
it to close, he, of course, was disguised
and again took upon himself the
pleasing task of wiping it cut if it
took all summer. With this idea COM
fortably fixed in his mud, and his fes-
tive little pistol still more comfortably
fixed in his pocket, he proceeded to
the room. The boys who frequent the
keno rooms till a late hour and go home
and tell their folks that the sick friend
they have been sitting up with is much
better, were sorrowful at the sight of
Ben, and when he serenely asked for
them to trot out their fighting stock in

Nor Our WoRK.-the following neatly put

For the first time in two hundred years,
the old turquoise mine in Chalchuti Mountain
New Mexico, is being reopened. In 1880,
work was suspended on the mine, the cause
being the caving in of the shaft and the sub
sequent death of some one hundred Indians
who were at work below. An attempt made
by the Spanish to force the Indians to begin
again and reopen the shaft led to rebellion,
and probably was one of the causes which
forced the Indians to an uprising and the sub
sequent expulsion of their rulers from the
country. The extent to which these mines
have been worked may be conjectured by the
vast amount of debris lying around the old
shaft, covering no less than fifteen acres Of
ground. This is the only turquoise mine on
the continent, and as the gem has always
market value, it will soon be a recognized
source of wealth to New Mexico.

A COMMERCIAL REACTION.

For some months past the Eastern press has
been diating upon the fact that times were
good, better in fact than they have been IN
years, and that the balance of trade was IN
favor of America as against Europe. Now the
tide has ,rned the other way and the Amer
lean end goes down. This has been brought
about mainly by extravaganza. AS soon as
business picks mp little with an American
he begins to waste and squander what he has
made. When times began to be good III the
East and every body was making money, of
course the next thing to do was to invest In
Iuxuries of foreign manufacture, which nat
orally sent the money current IN the other
direction There is class of people who
think that nothing really good can be made In
America and thus the old world gets the ben
eft of all our expenditures for luxuries, In the
long run. Our neighbors across the waters
are thrifty set of people and consider that
one fortune made in lifetime is quite enough
An American who has not gone through bank
ruptcy five or six times, is hardly looked upon
AZ a man who has made much of mark In
the world. The first thing that we expect to
do in this country is to accumulate fortune,
and the next thing is to go through 1t. The
excitement of making and breaking is bread
and meat to some people. On this C asst the
idea is more marked than in the East; life Is
nothing but succession of ups and downs, and
man who amounts to anything at all, is sup
posed to be constantly swinging like pendu-
lum between ruin and affiuence. There are
plenty of people who would rather be poor
one year and worth million the next, than
70 through life on steady animal income of
$1,000. The Europeans manufacture all the
Injuries that spendthrifts and extravagant
people buy. This is one of the reasons why
the balance of trade never remains IN our pos
session long Let times become flush in the
United States land Europe gets the surplus
coin made, recovering her trade prestige al
most Immediately.
