The Mexican Small Boy.

In many ways the Mexican boy sets
an excellent example to his young
cousins across the Rio Grande Grow
ing up in this placid social organization,
his disposition naturally is mild, and he
has as his birthright an allowance of
good manners so liberal that it might
be divided among a whole boarding
school of United States little bows and
make a good showing in each. The
other day at San Pedro-it was the
SAINTS day of the little town and the
place was in a ferment of pleasureable
excitement-I hailed small chap who
was darting across the small plaza and
asked him to get me drink of water.
Now the average United States small
boy of like humble station, if similarly
addressed under similar conditions
say by Frenchman on the Fourth of
July-pretty certainly would refuse to
comply with the request, and very
probably would couch his refusal in some
such enigmatical phrase as: Just you
hold your left ear while get it!' or,
more curtly,: "You go boil the back of
your headr' But this little Mexican.
not having enjoyed the advantages of
higher civilization, pulled up short
when hailed him and promptly went
into the house and brought me the water
that asked for. AS he handed me the
mug he took off his ragged little hat
and held it in his hand while 1 drank
and he bowed very prettily, this gentle
lad, as handed back to him the empty
mug with ''gracias' that came from
my heart. Water fresh and cool from
tenaja is pleasant drinking in this
thirsty land; but it is all the sweeter and
more refreshing for being so charming
| ly served. And these children are
courteous to each other as well as to
grownup people. Out in the suburbs
of the town last evening saw two lit
tie chaps sitting beside an acequia-
dabbling their little bare feet in the
running water-while they played very
contentedly together with dead bird
they had picked up somewhere. There
was no quarreling as to which should
have the bird. One of them had it in
his hands and was plucking out the
feathers, while the other. very much
interested, was looking on. They were
talking away earnestly, and seemed to
be full of the quiet happiness that, with
their gentle natures, is born in them. =

Cleansing our souls from thoughts of i'll,
AS our limbs are washed by the mountain
What my love should be.
If God would fashion her form for me.
Gracious and stately, yet withal
Most gentle minded, slow to please,
And not profuse of wOrd
Full of tranquil kindness for ALL
Lest to the super-sense

Not quickly stirred
To tears or laughter, love or strife;
Right nobly simple in her way OF life,
Yet joying healthy in all this world can give,
Since holy minds in healthy bodies live,
And beauty can not harbor with disease.

And answer its sound again,

Therein should dwell

The noblest thoughts God ever gave to me

And turn and tremble her steps to hear,

The principal topic of conversation on
the street this morning is the conflict OF
authority between the city councils and
the city treasurer, and many are the opin-
ions as to what will be the outcome Of it.
Bets are offered that the pro tem. Treas
urer WIS. Shirk, appointed by councils last
night, will not get possession, and that if
he attempts to do SO before the court
shall have passed upon the injunction re-
straining he finance committee from in.
tcr!erins with Treasurer Welchans, hc and
I'LL his aiders and abettors will be arrested
by the sheriff. Opinion appears to be a
good deal divided as to the position
taken by the treasurer and his counsel
some who believe that the treasurer's ac-
counts will pan out all right, think it would
have been better il he had '' verified his
accounts in accordance with the demand of
the finance committee while others de-
nouncc the committee in unmeasured
terms for their arbitrary proceedings and
charge that they have peljured themselves
in swearing that the treasurer is a de-
faulter, before they have had an OppOrtu-
nifty Of verifying his accounts So far as
our observation has extended public SYM
pathy is decidedly with the treasurer, who
meanwhile holds the fort" and though
evidently annoyed at the predicament in
which he finds himself, continues to re-
ceive and pay out the city funds, and de-
clarcs himself able to satisfactorily ac-
count for every dollar Of the public money
that has come into his possession, and to
pay the same over to his legal successor.
Not few of his friends of both parties,
who have faith in his official integrity,
have urged him to announce himself as 8,
candidate for re election. and thus secure
vindication at the hands of the public !;
but he says lie would not hold the Office

A FATHERS CRIME.
Brother and Sister Made Husband and Wife,
History Of the Deception PractIsed by :.
Maryland Farmer On His Unsuypect-
ing Children

History Of the Deception practised by q
Maryland Farmer IN His Unsuspect-
ing Children.
Thomas Bowen, a wealthy resident OF
Calvert county, Nd, has made application
to Gov. Hamilton for a pardon from the
State House of Correction, where lie is
serving a term of four years for most
astounding crime, the details of which arc
now given publicity for the first time.
Bowen was convicted on the 18th of No
vember last for having brought about a
marriage between his daughter Ella and a
young man, generally supposed to be a
distant connection, but who has since
proven to be son of the accused.
The marriage between the brother and
sister was celebrated by Rev. Joseph p.
Wilson, of the Methodist church, at Prince
Frederick, Calvert county, where the par
ties resided, ON September 1S, 1879, when
Mr.. Bowen gave the bride away and ac-
corded the young couple his parental
blessing. The groom, who went by the
name of Enoch Walters, had been adOpted
by MIR. Bowen and was very popular in the
village. Miss Bowen was only II years of
age, very attractive in appearance, and
Of refined and gentle disposition Short
ly after the marriage it became rumo !, d
that former suitor for Miss Bowen's
hand had made a startling discovery in
connection with the nuptials. Later on
the little community was astounded by
the arrest of Bowen on the charge above
stated. At the trial it was proven that
Walters's real name was EnOch Bowen, and
that he was the son Of Thomas Bowen by
q former wife.
It appears that the elder Bowen, about
twenty-five years ago, seduced girl in the
neighborhood and subsequently married
her just before her baby was born. Tht
mother died and Bowen adopted tho
infant as . child Of an old friend. The
boy baby was named Walters and grew ul
in the family where he was OF course in con.
slant contact with Miss Bowen, resulting
in warm affection springing up between
them. When Walters first proposed the
marriage Bowen objected, but subse.
qucntly changed his mind and assisted al
the ruptials Of the brother and sister. As
