Music is good servant to devotion,
but bad master. The late DR.. Mullen
berg once impressed this sentiment upon
a youth, with such distinctness that it
was never effaced. The Doctor, then
the rector of an Episcopal Church
school, had introduced boy-choir into
the chapel services. One of the ch0ris-
tiers, whose duty it was to get the num-
Der of the psalm and hymn, went to the
Doctors study one Sunday morning for
the purpose. The young man, while
the rector was turning over the leaves
of the prayer-book in order to make q
selection, remarked, 1--WE did pretty

THE Texas & Pacific Railroad Com
pany has begun suit in the courts of New
Mexico against the Southern Pacific Com
pany, to recover that portion Of the South
ern Pacific Road which was bullion the land
grant of the Texas & Pacific in New Mexico.
The claim covers tract of 100 miles, from
the Arizona border to Ell Paso, involving no
less than $5,0O0,0O0 A temporary Injunction
has been granted and receiver appointed.
The Texas & Pacific land grant was made by
Congress in 1871, and the Company holds
that it has never been annulled or forfeited,
although no work of construction was ever
done in the Territory. The Southern Pa
ciic claims to hold its rights under the gen.
eral right-of-way acts of Congress, which
were passed in 1879, four years after the
grant to the Texas & Pacific.

Inc powerful drama oil Hazel

an early date. The New York Her.
aid says:
The company presenting Hazel
Kirke' ave certainly attained a rare
artistic position. In Mr.. Couldock,
one of our old tragedians, one may
witness a kind of Characterization
that becomes q memory-a ruggid,
blind, obstinate, and yet loving old
man. In Mr.. Tom Whittier the best
of humor is artis sically exemplified.-
Miss Effie Ellsler wins not little
praise by the excellence of her per-
formance, and each has work that call
for the exercise of the beet actorial
culture, and in its exhibition they are
not wanting. If prophecy may be
made from the present point of view,
Hazel Kirke' bids fair to reach its one
hundredth night. The play and the
house taken together are certainly
worth of a visit. The one 10 unique
