Exciting Scene at the Altar.

Society people at Albuquerque were
enveloped in amazement on Tuesday
night, when the news was rapidly spread
through the city of a sensation attend
ing the arranged wedding at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Edward Powell. The lady
is niece of Mrs. Powell, and one of the
brightest and most charming young la
dies ever introduced into Albuquerque
society. Mr.. A. i. Stivers, the bride
groom, is wealthy cattle-grower. the
owner of an extensive ranch in Alamo
sa, in the western part of Valencia
County. Everything was arranged for
the wedding. The wine was on ice the
cakes baked, and at the appointed hour
Rev. Mr.. Kistler put in appearance.
The lady and gentleman soon to be
made man and wife were attired to suit
the occasion and stood up before the
minister of the gospel to pronounce
the solemn vows.
''Will you take this woman for your
lawful wife," asked Rev. Mr.. Kistler.
Il will, - responded the bridegroom
elect
"Will you take this man for your
lawful htisband?" continued the min
lister.
MY Cod / can't. / can't!' was the
pitiful response of the young lady, who,
bursting into tears, rushed into an adj
joining apartment.
Ladies went to her assistance and adj
vised with her, and the rejected BRIDE
groom tried TO persuade Ter to change
her determination and become his wife.
1t was TO no avail. The young lady
would not change her mind Miss
Smedley had received attentions from
Mr.. Stivers since last winter. They en-
gagged to marry some months ago, but
since then the young lady has enter
tanned grave doubts as to their compati-
bility OF temperament, but, looking on
her engagement rs irrevocable, allowed
matters to proceed even to the cere-
mony. when she found it impossible to
pronounce the words that would make
her the life partner of man whom she
evidently did not loye.-Ai6uguerqu

Think for Yourselves.

Boys should never 60 through life
satisfied TO be always borrowing other
peoples brains. There are some things
they should find out for themselves.
There is always something waiting tor
be found out. Every boy should think
some thought that shall live after him.
A farmers boy should discover for him
self what timber will bear the most
weight, which is the most elastic, what
will last longest in the water, what out
down trees for fire-wood? How many
kinds of oak grow in your region, and
what is each specially good for? How
does bird fly without moving wing
or feather? How does snake climb
n tree or brick wall? Is there any
difference between deer's track and
hogs track? What is itP How often
does a deer shed his horns, and what be-
comes of them? In building chimney,
which should be the largest, the throat
Or the funnel? should it be wider at the
top, or drawn in? The boys see white
horses. Did they ever see white colt?
Do they know how old the twig must
be to bear peaches, and how old the
vine is when grapes first hang upon ita
There is bird in the forest which never
builds nest, but lays its eggs in tho
nests of other birds. Can the bows tell
what that bird is? Do they know that
a hop-vine always winds with the sun.
but bean-vine always winds the other
way? Do they know that when horse
crops grass he eats back toward him;
but cow eats outward from her. be-
cause she has no teeth upon her upper
jaw, and has to gum it?-C hdtter6o1.

A Lesson in Honesty.

very pleasant incident occurred in
one of our public schools not long since.
1t seems that the bows attending the
school, most of whom are at the are of
from seven to eight, had. in their play
of bat and ball, broken one of the win
dow panes in neighboring house. No
clue could be obtained TO the boy who
had broken it, as he would not confess
his act, nor would any of his associates
expose him.
The case troubled the teacher The next
day a gentleman called to see the
school, an acquaintance of the teacher,
who knew how to talk TO children.
After telling him of the breaking of the
glass and her inability to ascertain who
of the boys had broken it. she asked
him to make some remarks to the school
and to speak of the wrong the boys were
doing in not acknowledging the act.
The address to the school, therefore.
was upon the conduct of boys in the
streets and at their sports. He told
them in simple words that honesty,
truthfulness and kindness should govern
their conduct everywhere, even when
they were alone and no one but them
selves and God knew what they were
doing. The scholars seemed inter-
ested and somewhat impressed by the
remarks of the speaker
A short time after he left the school
little boy arose in his seat and said:
Miss Lane, batted the ball that
broke MIR. Dash's window. Another
boy threw the ball, but 1 batted it, and
it struck the window. i am willing to
pay for it. y
There was death-like stiffness in the
room as the little fellow was speaking,
and it contirxSd for a full minute after
he sat down.

Things i'm Old Mexico that Seem
Strange and Odd.

A friend of mine was in chihuahua.
Mexico, on prospecting tour, and
learning that kerosene oil was 81 .25 a
gallon he thought to speculate when he
came again, SO he bought a barrel of
fine oil in Boston for $3.50 and freight
ed it to Mexico, chuckling over the rich
profit he was to reap, but when he
reached Paso del Norte and paid the
Federal tax, the State tax, the City of
Chihuahua tax, the consumers tax, etc,
they footed up $3.50, or nearly five
hundred per cent, and by that time his
rejoicing was turned into mourning.
If man buys piece of meat in Chi
huahua they hand it to him in the raw.
just rs they cut it; for the meat is all
cut up in advance and the purchaser
selects what he wishes. When it is
handed to him he is expected to have a
bit of wire n foot long, bent at the low
est end, upon which to hang the meat;
but you must not carry it yourself, for
fear of being thought beside yourself,
and they will not send it to YOU, but
a half-dozen men and boys will dog
your steps, offering to carry it. content
to receive such trifling donation of
tlacas, cent-and-a-half bits, as you choose
to give.
The fountain presents the most fas-
cinating study connected with the plaza
at Chihuahua. In the center of this
scene of beauty is fountain twenty
feet in diameter, streaming the clearest
mountain nectar, brought many miles
by an aqueduct rivaling those of Italy.
AT this fountain through the long day
hnr no IS
of the humber classes freighting them
selves with the beverage. 1t is almost
literally true that ali the water of this
city of eighteen thousand inhabitants,
for every purpose but irrigation, is taken
from this fountain, and the study of the
parties coming hither is one for an art
list.
There is hardly any time of day
when we may not see squad of
prisoners marching from the jail in
Chihuahua, four blocks away, with as
many soldiers TO guard them, carrying
barrels or ollas. These. criminals do
all the street sprinkling, spending quite
a portion of each day in this labor.
They take barrel of water, carry it to
the street, dip out bucketful, and by
peculiar twisting movement throw it
in such a way as to send it upon the
pavement in spray.
The Mexican schoolgirl will not car
ry her sachel of books TO school. but
has male servant walk a proper dis
tance behind, carrying it for her. 1t is
laughable for one accustomed TO New
England life to see a young miss walk
ing to school with man coming be-
hind with solitary book, which he de-
livers to her at the door. Americans,
except few who put on airs, are doing
much to break this custom, and,
though the ladies have not the courage
to be seen with a package, the gentle
men do not hesitate to take a respect
able bundle through the streets.-Cor.

day? Let us see. On the approaches
the bridge is one hundred feet wide. On
the suspended part it is ,eighty-five feet
wide. This gives room enough for two
lines of teams on each way, or four in
all. All the teams going in one direction
take the right hand road, the heavy
teams on the outside and the lighter
ones on the inside The two roads will
allow one thousand four hundred and
forty teams to pass in an hour or four
teen thousand four hundred and forty in
ten hours. There will be eighty cars on
the railroad. and twenty cars can travel
on the bridge at once. When all are
running, eighty thousand people can
cross in an hour. The total length of
the walk is five thousand nine hundred
and eighty feet (nearly mile and a
quarter), and of this one thousand five
hundred and seventy-five feet are in
cluded in the span above the river
