Ed. LEADER :


You may be somewhat surprised
to learn that Nogal, with her birds,
flowers, and lovely secluded nooks,
has tins week, seen two loving
hearts made one. The happy con
pie are MIR. II. G. Uerington and
Nelly Middleton, late residents
of the Canon. The marriage was
at tie residence Of the brides pa
rents, about Il mile aboye the
stamp mill. Mr. IIerington has
just completed his resdende on
the point between Nogal Canon
and the stan y mil, and as the
stamp mill is just below the west
fork OF the canon and the mill is
some three or four miles up the
canon from the Post Office, your
readers can locate the places men-
toned.
At the stamp mill is Seymour
& Co.'S saw mill ard the large
lumber yards, and with the humm-
ing Of the saw mill, hauling of
logs and Of lumber, it is the life Of
the canon. Although they mar
some of the beauties of the place
by cutting the timber, yet it has
been the means OF giving new life
to the camp.
And, my dear Major, you would
be surprised to SEQ the change
that has come over the sleepy and
romantic canon in this short sea-
son. There is life aud activity in
all parts Of it.
Mr.. Middleton erected a frame
house up the canon-then Mr.
IIerington-then, Seymour d Co.
enclosed and furnished the two sto-
ry log house Just below the mill,
and Mr.. +. NJ. Kecley moved ms
family into it, and Mrs. McGin-
Mss is making her homo with .ar.
keeley.
Then comes Maj. John Kae. the
owner of the famed Crescent Gold
Mine in Dry Gulch, where he can
take out from one to three ounces
Of gold to a gold pan OF ore, and
week after week he has been wash
ing out the glittering nuggets an d
piing up the ore that is not so
rich, to be treated in the stamp
mill here.
Then from Mr.. Rae's down the
cono1, you next ccme to our geni-
al friends, Mr., and Mrs. Dono-
vans, who have made extensive
improvements on their house and
premises
And, to show the spirit and en-
terprise OF the good people OF this
neighborhood, / only have to say
that by subscription the, are cree
ting good frame school house be-
tween Mr.. Levins and the Shapey
Bros places in this canon, and
Mr.. HUI hes who owns the first
place above Nogal post office and
store is employed to teach the
school this winter.
These are some Of the improve

The Committee further add -
w find the cattle died on the
east side Of the Pecos river, up to
Pope's crossing, where the herds
on the trail cross the river and con-
tinue up Oh the west side, from
this crossing up the cattle have
died on the west side, showing
conclusivelv that the cattle have
died from coming i'll contact with
diseased cattle or IN crossing their
trails. In many places the trail
can be followed by The dead cattle.
To say that this is Il deplorable
state of affairs is drawing it mildly.
But terthe copious rains that fell
soon after the Texas herds had
passed through the country, it is
difficult to tell what the mortality
among our herds might have been,
for as soon as the rains came the
dying ceased to a great extent.
We are satisfied that many
herds Of cattle have been admit
ted to the territory that should
have been kept out, and we would
suggest that our inspectors be re-
quested to double their energies,
and to be more diligent IN future
in their inspections than they have
been in the past. We also learn
that several large herds lIave pass
ed the territory line and have been
driven to- their place of destination
and turned loose without ever hav-
ing had their cattle inspected.
Such violations of the quarantine
law call for prompt action on the
part Of the inspector whose line
has been crossed, and it is to be
hoped he will notify the attorney
general Of such violation at once,
and that active measures vii! be
taken in the prosecution Of such
persons.

New YORK Times
The correspondence about Mr..
Kelley Is before the public, and 1t puts
the Government Of Austria Hungary
In a very ridiculous position, contrast.
log strongly with the attitude Of
national self-respect and dignity
which characteriZes Mr.. Bavard's
part Of the correspondence. OF
the two objections to Mr.. KeIley's
appointment made by Austria, one is
peculiarly mean and unworthy and the
other Is unreasonable and probably
without a precedent; while neither
constitutes a ground for IT sctiDg Mr..
Kelley, OF which this government
could for az instant admit the validity.
And yet, ENJOYS and ambassadors have
been rejected for reasons no less petty
and even less valid, but such reasons
have not generally been made public.
Count Kalnoky's mistake was in al
leging any reason whatever for his &C
ton, and 1t is evident that he sees his
blunder and regrets it. BY a simple
refusal to receive Mr.. Kelley, accom-
panied with the statement that he was
not persona grata. Austria might have
disposed of the offending envoy with
out belittling herself by discussing the
religion of Mr.. Keiley's wife or the
history of his a~ntecedent appointment
to Rome, which should have had moth
ing to do with the case.

THE SENSATIONS or HANGING

Max O'Rel's Letter1
A crazy Briton belonging to the asai.
eide club, =" Of which l did not know the
existence, has published in The Pail Mall
Gazette the sensations Of hanging He
has actually tried It before the members
of the club. It will be Q pity If his mar.
alive has the effect of diminishing the
wholesome terror which the rope has
hitherto inspired. and / fear It may in
duce some silly people TO try hanging as
q substitute for opium. At first there
was q great jerk, and he felt q violent
pain in his neck; but after be lost CON
seriousness the proceedings became quite
pleasant "He seemed to be transported
into a new world, more beautiful than
anything imagined by the poets. He was
swimming. he thought. in a sea Of oil
The feeling was exquisitely delicious.
AS he swan easily and without effort
through the liquid mass he noticed afar
off an island of the most glorious emerald
green in color. The sea kept every in
slant changing its hue. AT one moment
it was a mass of gold, as though the sun
were shining brilliantly on it. The next
instant it was a vivid blood red; but there
was nothing terrible or disgusting in thio
new color. In fact. it kept changing to
all the hues of the rainbow, yellow and
red being the predominant tints He got
nearer and nearer to the island. AS he
approached it there sprang out suddenly
from the ground a great number of people
whose faces seemed known to him.
At last he reached the land. Then q
magnificent chorus of voices, human,
and those of birds, burst forth. He
closed his epes in ecstasy. He loatcd
calmly on to the shore, and lay as a child
in its cradle, slightly weakened from the
enervating effect of the oily matter in
which he had been swimming. At last
he opened his eyea The magic charm
was at once dispeIled. The divine har-
mony ceased. The faces were still peer
ing at him with an expression of eager
curiosity, but he perceived that they be-
longed to the members of the club" The
pan in his neck was great, it appeared,
but be was now in entire possession of his
senses. His friends cut him down, and
he was able to tell them at once his ex.
periences. Although he drew a charming
picture of the bliss which he felt, no
other member would try his experiment
His look was quite CHASTITY. To the best
of my belief this lunatic is still at large.

iPeck's S In.l

An insurance company has recently
been started in Kentucky that undoubt-
eddy would he a success were it in New
York city. 1t guarantees married men
indemnity in case their wives elope.
Now in New York city. where a mans
wife is liable OF any moment to get up
and dust with the coachman, a little in.
surance of that kind will go a great way
toward helping him bear up under his
sorrow. There is nothing on earth that
will keep a man up, who is inclined to
pine away, as successfully as money, es
pecially ii it comes from an insurance
company.
There is something about the color Of
insurance money after q man has ponied
up to the company regularly every month
or every year, for several years, that when
he gets it it tickles him almost to death,
no matter how deep his grief may be.

An English Poets Children.

Coventry Patmore was devoted to his
children and observed them with q poetic
as well as with q paternal eye. He had
plenty of stories to tell about their early
manifestations. He had himself, in his
boyhood, been deeply impressed by his
first sight of the ocean. and wishing to
afford the same pleasure to one of his lit
tie girls, he accompanied her one day on
an excursion to the beach and awaited de-
velopments. Her remark was, when she
saw the waves breaking on the shore, 30,
how soapy it isl" and later in the day she
wanted wanted to know. Does the sea
never do anything but this2"

OlNHNAR 1OhVAliNAs
We love to praise but scorn to fat
ter, and in presenting our friend Tom
Bowles, Of Hardy, as a good farmer,
we can rely upon his own statements
as to what he did this year. When
any one man, black or white, cd tr
young, educaie ed or ignorant, can make
10 bales of cotton, 175 bushels of good
corn, several hundred pounds Of pork,
with plenty of milk and butter, and
pay out only $40 for help, we think he
is a good farmer, if he is not a clever
man. That Tom Bowles, who has a
good mother, several nice, intelligent
sisters and a first. class brother, has
overestimated his consequence, we do
not believe. Go, young man, and do
likewise, and lift the country out Of
the slough of despond.

Taxation of Bachelors.
TNew York SIN

There is talk in England of an intention
to tax bachelors, and the absurdity of the
proposition affords much amusement
But the matter is not so outrageously
novel. 1t has been done before. Who
does not know that such a tax was
resorted to in old Rome and Greece
Bachelors were heavily taxed, widows
were compelled to marry after one year of
mourning-some of them may have
thought eleven months too long-and at
one time a legatee. if unmarried, could
not obtain a bequest unless within the
space of 100 days he found some woman
to Join him in holy wedlock. But we
need not go so far back. William Ill
taxed the bachelors in order to carry on
his wal with France.
