Once more the day approaches when
the cycle of time will bring us another

whether the Decretals of Telesphorus

not matter whether the Emperor

have ample proof that it is day when

not that tho manner of celebrating this

The Rio Grande Three Miles Wide

Mr.. II. C. Wiley, who returned from
an extensive Eastern trip on Thursday
afternoon, says that in all of his many
years spent west of the Rocky noun
tains he never saw such sight as the
Rio Grande presented between Albu-
querque and Rincon, a distance of about
one hundred and ninety miles, during his
trip in this direction The river, during
this long distance, flows between two
mesas, in n serpentine course, crossing
the railway track, which is laid in the
valley, at intervals in each direction.
Mr.. Wiley was detained three days, with
the rest of the passengers, when the
train crossed the temporary trcstles over
the raging stream, three miles in width,
with great care. The train which fol.
lowed did not dare cross, as the tenn
porary trestle had already become too
much weakened. Mr.. Wiley says that
there is no other way for the A. 4. X s.
+. Railway to run except in this valley,
and that, although the Rio Giande is
higher than ever before known, it has
not nearly reached its dangerous height
for the season, as the snow in the high
Rocky Mountains has not yet melted.
When it does melt his opinion is that
this portion of the railway will be total
wreck, and yet there is no other course
for il.
