Rio GRANDE PoLITICs.-On election day

observed large number of Mexicans in the
town.
''Where do all these Mexicans come

eyes, it is too high, but what can we do
about it? Our opponents, the reformers,
have run up the prices on US. Before the
reform party was organized we could get
all the Mexican votes we needed, delivered
at the polls for fifty cents a head, but now
the lowest price is a dollar head, spot
cash. i tell you, it takes money to be elect

How TO TRANsPLANT.-There is no part
of gardening that requires more care and
skill than the transplanting of plants so as
to retard their growth as little as possible.
AS preliminary to this operation, the
young plants should beuncovered if in hot
beds and exposed to the full power of the
light and air that they may be hardened
and ready for the change. The ground
about the roots should be kept thoroughly
wet for short time before the plants are
removed, as this causes the earth to cling to
the roots more firmly, and gives them
life and vigor. Most plants do better if
transplanted in cloudy or rainy weather,
but if this cannot be done they should be
set out at nightfall and shielded for few
days from the direct rays of the sun. The
cavity for the roots should be made large
enough to admit of their insertion without
cramping or crowding together. Let the
soil around be thoroughly loosened and pull
verized so that the new roots to be formed
will have free growth. When the roots
have been set in the cavity pack some fine
soil directly about them nearly to the sur
face and fill on top with rich loose earth.
Water frequently until the plants begin to
grow again. BY exercising little care,
such plants as cabbages, celery, rutabagas
and tomatoes may be transferred to the
open ground with no perceptibe change in
their rate Of growth.

A Lesson IN FINANcE.-Some years ago
there lived in village, which is now inclu-
ded in the limits of Boston, a blacksmith.
He was master workman, his custom was
large, and the owners Of fine horses for
miles around were in sthe habit of taking
them to Green's to be shod. One day new
customer, but not stranger to the old
gentleman, drove up. His name was Blod-
gett, but he had passed season abroad and
had returned considerably Frenchifed, as
we'll as Anglicized, and his name had been
transformed into Blogee. Hewanted shoe
set, and, after the job had been completed
in the usual excellent manner, he inquired:
cav, how much is the chawge, Mr..
Green?"
The reply came short and sharp, "Half
dollar"
'sHawf dollar! hawf dollar! Why,
wealiy, I've been out of the country so long
that | don't know what hawf dollar is,
don't you know" answered Mr.. Blogee,
handing over dollar bill.
The blacksmith stood moment in speech
less amazement; then thrusting the bill
into one pocket, he brought forth quarter
from another, and, handing it over to Blo-
gee with the remark, 81 thought every
darned fool knew half dollar was seven
ty-ive cents" marched back to his forge

have added not little to the political
speculatlons Of the future. One fact mas
been proven, however, whioh was not
denied, that the factions among our
Mexican citizens are of most pro.
nounced kind, and that they are led by
ambitious and positive men, who in the
future are not likely to be handled with
any degree OF case by the so-called poll
teal leaders. The Injection of religion
with politics, as has been seen In the

tlon that these leaders would have done
well to let well enough alone. But il nil
argues for the good of the city in the
