Pillar, who murdered Deputy Sheriff Thos. H. Hall, near Silver City, N. M. recently, was seen here last Monday. He rode a mule, which he hitched in front of O'Banncn's saloon, on Main street. He did not tarry long, as he was evidently in fear of being recog- nized by some one familiar with his recent exploits. He visited an acquaintance here, but remained only a few moments. He was un- easy, as he came out of the saloon shortly after entering it, and buck led on his six shooter, which he had left hanging on his saddle. His whereabouts are not definitely known. A posse from Grant coun- ty, N. NJ. is on his trail, having left here yesterday morning. We trust he may be overtaken and handed over to the authorities.

The trial in the disputed horse case which has attracted so much interest here, has been postponed for three weeks. An interesting legal qui5ble as to the qualifca- ton of bonds attracted the atten- tion of the court, and various in genlous interpretations were plac- ed upon the law. The majesty of the law, represented by Justice Casey being somewhat in doubt, gave both parties the benefit, and took the case under advisement.

RUsKIN MAKING LOVE.
A Mereiless Description of a Young
 sterss First Passion.

MereiIess Description of a Young
 ster's First Passion.
 An interesting passage in the newest chap ter of ''Ruskin's Praeterita" relates to g. visit paid to his home at Herne-hill by MT. Dom ecq, his fathers partner in Spain, and his four daughters. After describing the girls separately and then collectively as Ca ga laxy, southern cross, of unconceived stars; floating on sudden into my obscure frma- ment of London suburb" he proceeds:
 How my parents could allow their young novice to be cast into the fiery furnace of the outer world in this helpless manner the read CT may wonder, and only the fates know; but there was this excuse for them, that they had never seen me the least interested or anxious about girls-never caring to stay in the promenades at Cheltenham or Bath, or on the parade at Dover; on the contrary, growing and moving if I was ever kept there, and off to the sea or the fields the mo- ment I got leave; and they had educated me in such extremely orthodox English toryism and evangelicalisnl that they could not con oeive their scientific, religious and George IT. revering youth wavering in his constitu- tional balance toward French Catholics. I was thrown, bound hand and foot, in my unaccomplished simplicity, into the fiery furnace, or fiery cross, of these four girls who. of course, reduced me to mere heap of white ashes in four days. Four days, at the most, it took to reduce me to ashes, but the Mercredi des cendres lasted four years.
 This is his account of how he made love to one of the four southern belles:
 Clotilde Adele Clotilde in full but her sisters called her Clotilde, after the queen saint, and I Adele, because it rhymed to shell, spell and knelD was only made more resplendent by the circlet of her sisters beauty, while my own shyness and unpre sentableness were further stiffened, or rather | sanded, by patriotic and Protestant con ceit, which was tempered neither by polite ness nor sympathy; so that, while in compa ny sat jealously miserable like a stuckfsl Gin truth, imagine looking like nothing SC

The Albany Capitol.

bill is before the New York legislature which provides for new Capitol commis- sion, to finish the massive and fine but far too-long delayed structure at Albany known as ths thew" Capitol. It names four men- the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, the president pro tenn. of the Senate, and the Speaker of the assembly-to compose the new commission, in place of the present single commissioner. There may be objee- tions to the proposed board, but it seems at least to be non-partisan, and the matter in hand should be kept as much as possible out of politics. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor are Democrats, while the legisla- tive officers named are Republicans-an equal division apparently. Something, sure ly, ought to be done. At the present slow and wasteful rate of construction, that great building-already costing twice as much as it should have cost-seems not likely to be finished in this century, and the cost seems likely to exceed twenty millions.
 Already the vast sum of nearly eighteen million dollars ($17, ,502, ,993) has been expend- ed on this huge stone pile, and period of time amounting to nearly eighteen years half of the period of generation--has been consumed in getting the work started and done, so far. Nobody seems to know when it can be finished.
 The great marble Capitol at Washington cost $13, ,000, ,O00. The Westminster houses of Parliament cost $15, ,000, 900. They in clude eleven courts, hundred staircases, eleven hundred rooms, and three towers, each over 300 feet high. That great mass of marble at Washington, with it's soaring summit crowned by tho emblematic figure of Liberty, almost seeming as if native to the empyrean blue of the American skies, is in some respects more striking and impressive structure than the duskier Eng fish pile. But the building at Albany, be- sides taking more time and money than either of them, is less satisfactory than either. The State has been scandalously robbed. The work is not what has been paid for. The commissioners, the archi- tects, the architecture, all have been more or less changed, during the building of this great work. It is not built in any one harmonious architectural style; but the changes may have relieved the building, az 8 whole, of tendency to g generally toe heavy effect The introduction in the
