The Now Orleans Exhibition

While we are absorbed in CON
temptation OF the political warfare
now going ON in the States, and
discussing the probable chances OF
this or that candidate for the presl-
dency we should not lose sight OF
the fact that we ought to prepare
an exhibition for the Worlds Fair
at New Orleans. next winter.
Lincoln county can present there
such display Of its resources as
will attract thousands to this land
OF wonderful natural wealth. If we
are ever TO attain what we desire
and expect, and what we deserve
to realize-a state OF steady pro
duction and rapid and healthy
growth-wc must induce capital to
come here and assist to develope
and work the fine prospects we
have already discovered and open
ed.
In no way can this be done SO
cheaply and certainly, as by gath
cring together samples of the rich
and varied productions Of our
mines and making Il display OF
them at places so largelyvisited by
the classes we wish to reach, as
will be the Exposition at New Or
leans.
The character Of the men who
will have charge of our interest
there, is guarantee that whatever
we have to exhibit will be shown
to the best advantage.
And the rare opportunity now
offered to get the real merits o
the mines of this county placed be
fore the world, there should be n1
delay in the accumulation Of ;
large and creditable exhibit -sucl
a one as we have the mqtcrial tc
make.

Communication between this
place and Carthage, by way OF the
bridge, is still interrupted, but will
be resumed as soon as possible, in
the meantime the workmen at the
coal mines are idle, and the San
Antonio coke ovens are receiving
their supplies from the mines at
Trinidad and Ration. Soco,To

We have had but three or four
mails here III two months, and if
the Santa l'e Railroad can run coal
trains from Trinidad and Ration. to
supply their coke ovens at San
Antonio, we want to know why
that concern cannot carry the mails
as well.

SURVEYOR General

Among the appointments made
on the Bird of this month by Pres,
Arthur was that OF Clarence Pulleu
of Las Vegas, TO be Surveyor Gen
eral Of New Mexico. Mr.. PUlIru
is said to be highly educated evil
engineer, OF long exporien,e and
an upright and thorough bushes,
man. 1t is believed that in hi,
hands the office will be conducted
with ability and honesty. We arc
pleased to notice the fact that the
President has III this instance OBJ
served the recommendation OF the
National Convention, and selected
one Of our own citizens for az, plticc
so important to the people Of the
Territory as that of Surveyor Gen.
eral.

RUsTLERs AND sHERIFFs.

Since the organization OF the
new county Of Sierra the Sheriff,
Mr.. John A. Murphy, has succeed
ed in arresting about twenty "rus-
tiers" and cattle thieves who had
for long time before been raiding
the herds of that region.
If every county in the Territory
would place in the office of sheriff
men as efficient and vigilant as
those Of this new county and our
own, the outlawry which has been
for years SO prevalent in the Terri
tory generally would cease, and
we could soon enter upon a new
era of safety from class OF rene
gades and thieves.
-Four years ago Lincoln county
bore as unenviable reputation for
lawlessness as could well be ac-
quired in any community, but
thanks to the good judgement of
our people in the selection Of their
officers, especially ii the matter of
sheriff, we have brought about a
new state of things and now enjoy
that feeling Of security which all
property holders SO much desire.
While we are not entirely relieved
OF bad men, vet there is probably
no county in the new settlements OF
the West less afflicted with this OBJ
jectionable class than our own.
SO long as we continue to elect
good, true and capable men to the
important office OF sheriff we may
rely uponit that this better condi-
ton of quiet and security will pre-
vail. When we become lax in our
plain duty to ourselves and lose
sight of these characteristics III the
officers we select, we have no right
to expect anything but a relapse
into the former state Of anarchy
and disregard Of law and the right
Of lite and property.
Many of the thieves who once
infested this country have gone TO
other localities, induded to such a
course by the extremely unhealthy
condition of the climate here under
the regime of the last two occu-
pants of the sheriff's office. And
with equal efficiency on the
part of the officers OF other counties
and the election Of an incompetent
or doubtful man here, we should
at once have them coming back
upon us as they lett-in a regular
stampede. We cannot afford to
make any mistake in this matter,

AsIATGc cholera is now infcsting
many Of the cities Of France and
Italy, and seems to be moving
this way. On the other hand, our
exchanges note the fact that, from
the south, We may expect yellow
fever, Which already has a consid-
cradle footing in Old Mexico, while
in the States the political pest is
abroad, and on the whole the stu
alton in some parts of this country
is anything but encouraging for
the hCt summer months. We are
specially favored here in New Mex
leo, being just aboye the cholera

game where the players sat around
the room at small tables, each pro
vided with a card on which were
printed various numbers, while the
manager Of the game turned a
wheel and at short intervals called
ont number corresponding to
those on the cards. The players
kept silent until finally some one
cried ont Keno" when all the
rest said "Oh, HI.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-The Sun publishes
the following cablegram from London: The
Prussian police believe that America is har-
boring at this moment wholesale murderer,
whose many crimes have just been brought to
light His name is sievert, and he was un-
til recently the proprietor of q public house
known as the Cruche hotel, at Rurzig, in
Pomerania. He is a shoemaker by trade,
and is a tall muscular man. with florid
complexion and yellow hair. A few weeks
ago Sievert sold out his hotel and left Pom
erania The new landlord took posses
sion recently, and on searching the
premises was Mortified at finding
six corpses in various stages of de-
composition concealed in the cellar The
bodies were all of men, and all had evi-
IDENTIFY been murdered at different times.
They have been identified as the remains of
travelling merchants who had been temper
ary dodgers in Seivert's tavern,
and who had mysteri ously disap-
peared They lived at various remote parts
of the kingdom and there has been
heretofore no clew to the fate of any of them.
1t is evident that they were murdered for
their money by Sievert and concealed in the
cellar until the assassin became alarmed and
sold his place, stipulating that the purchaser
should not take possession until certain
time The police claim to have positive in
formation that Sievert has fed to America
and detectives will be sent to search for him

In 1899 there came TO Hawkinsville. from
Charleston. s. c., two wefl-dressed gentlemen
One of them was very stingy and close. the
other was the reverse, liberal and free with his
money. and the greatest lover Of fun had ever
seen. Two weeks before Christmas he caused

where you might. and sack OF cats greeted
you. Fifty cents for grown cats. 25 cents Tor
half-grown and 10 tents for kittens had been
offered. The bad boys about town (mvselt one
OF them) began, at a signal to cut the strings
and let loose the cats. OF course, great many
dogs were in town. and the fur flew. About II
o'clock an old man named Barney Williams,
living near Hartford, came across the river with
an OK cart, minus the body. but al eight by ten

Bohannon's hotel. After short search he found
the man who wanted the cats, who appeared
very anxious to secure the lot, and, trying to
peer into the basket, he cut the rope holding
the quilt covering to the basket and out flew
the cats about forty. They went pell nell
under the houses. into the bushes and every
conceivable place to hide. The old man Will
llams was very mad. for he had been two weeks
gathering up the surplus felnes of his neighbour
hood. There was no sleep for many nights in
old Hawkinsville. The best judges estimated
that not less than two thousand cats had been
turned loose on that occasion.

AN ANTS BRAIN.
A Wonderful Piece of Physical Mech.
anisnl.

Well may Darwin speak of the brain of an ant
as one of the most wondrous particles of matter
in the world. We are apt to think that it is i'm
possible for so minute piece of matter to pos
sess the necessary completely required for the
discharge of such elaborate functions The mi
croscope will no doubt show some details In the
ants brain, but these fall hopeessly short of
revealing the refinement which the ants
brain must really have. The microscope is
not adequate to show US the texture of matter
1t has been one OF the great discoveries of mod
ern times to enables US to form some numerical
estimate Of the exquisite delcacy of the
fabric which we know as inert matter. Water
or air, or iron may be divided and subdivided
but the process cannot be carried on INDEFINITELY
There is well-defined limit. We are even able
to make some approximation to the number of
molecules in given mass Of matter Sir W.
Thomson has estimated that the number of
atoms in cubic inch of air is to be expressed BY
the figure 3. followed by no fewer than twenty
ciphers. The brain of the ant doubtless con-
tains more atoms than an equal volume
of air; but even If we suppose them to
be the same, and II we take the size of an
ants brain to be a little globe one thousandth
of an inch in diameter, we are able to form
some estimate of the number of atoms it
must contain. The number is to be expressed
10y writing down six, and following it by eleven
ciphers We can imagine these atoms grouped
in so many various ways that even the COM
pleXity of the ants brain may be ineligible
when we have so many units to deal with An
illustration will perhaps make the argument
clearer. Take amHion and a half of little black
marks, put them in certain order. ana we
have wOndrous result-Darwin's Descent of
Nan. This book merely consists of about
1.5O0, 900 letters placed one after the other in
certain order. Whateveribe the complexity of
the ants brain it is still hard to believe that 1t
could not be fully described in 100000 volumes,
each as large as Darwins work. Yet the num-
Der of molecules IN the ants brain is at least
400. 900 times as great as that number OF letters
in the memorable volume iIrquestion.
