The conversation continued thus for
nearly two hours. My companion wa
marvelously familiar with the country
He told me the names of the different
peaks, showed me in the distance Granada
and the Sierra Nevada with its cresIs of

before quitting us he wanted 10 ofler me
some refreshments
We went into an inn at the edge
Of the bed of the Cucin a little

of fresh water making drink that |

mounted, and at the next turn nf the road

Home Life.

The foundation of the social system is in
the home. The beginnings of things are
there. The character is formed there; hence
the home is the most important of human
institutions.
America, we may say at the outset, is a
country of homes. 1t has no rivals. in this
respect. except Great Britain and Germany.
and it eclipseS both. for there is home life
in the houses of the intelligent Americans
native or adOpted-who own OF rent them
that is freer and which tlOurishes under bet
ter conditions than any found elsewhere
These conditions are the fruits of popular ed
ucatiOn: popular government, general and
local;widely diffused information on all ques-
tions, social, political, economical. religious
free. unreStrained discussion and ample
and adequate protection Ia home life
Every Americans house is his castle. not
simply in police force, for the benefit of
all. but in a supreme public sentiment which
recognizes the rights of the home and
demands and guarantees that they shall not
be- abrOgated or meddled with.
Then the free school and the church re-
infOrceS the civil authorities in protecting
the home. The very children are taught
their rights and privileges and trained in
their exercise-tO a very large extent.
We have in Springfield thousands of
most delightful homes, and il is
a significant fact that eases of poverty, vice
OF crime are seldom traced to them. When
they are. there is discovered, also some rad
zeal defect in the management A good
tree cannot bear bad fruit, and well regu-
lated home, which has been made truly

CIRCULATION OF RELIGIOUS NEWS.


They May Safely Claim Large Audience
The Various Denominations.
There are more than 20O exclusively re-
ligiOus newspapers published in the
United States and Canada, and the best
authorities agree that the combined circu-
lation of these is about 2.5OO,OO0 Experts
in Newspaper circulation consider that for
each subsciber a weekly journal may
count four readers. II this be true. the re
ligious press may claim an audience Of
lO,O0OOOO. 1t is undoubtedly true, however,
that many heads of families buy religious
journals because they consider it TO be
their duty To do so. or for the reason that
they have a faint hope that their children
will be induced to peruse them. For
themselves they prefer they daily paper.
In the matter Of the number of papers
the Methodists take the lead. They have
about fifty papers of large circulation, and
altogether their publications circulate
over 5OO,OOO copies. The Catholics have
forty papers, of which nearly 10000 are
circulated. and it is worthy Of remark that
the German Catholic papers furnish one
half of this number. The Baptist journals
have about 3OO, 900 subscribers; the Presby
terian papers follow with 2jO,OOO; those of
the Lutheran church with 10000, while
those of the Congregational church have
1000, mostly in New England The Nor
mons-if they can be called a SeCt-are
alone in supporting daily paper. The
Lutherans though not so strong in num-
bers as other sectS, are generous in sup
port of their press for on comparison il Is
found that almost one in three of them
subscribes to its support. The Presby-
terians follow with ratio bordering on
one in four; the COngregatiOnallsts are
next at one i'll five, while the BaptistS and
MethOdsts are neck and neck at one in
seven each. Ii must be remembered. how
ever, that the Methodists and Baptists
have to carry the greater mass of the illit-
crate whites and blacks at the south, which
prevents them from presenting a better
average
The evangelical and Christian journals
can not be classified, since they are strictly
sectarian, and calculations Us to the liter
AIRY standing of the weaker denominations
would be endless. Most of the Protestant
papers are edited by ministers, and it would
be natural to suppose that they would be
above the practice of wranglng and quar-
reling. But such is not the case. Some
of the narrowest and most bitter writers
on journalism are 10 be found on the re
ligiOus press, and discussions more nu-
merous and personal than the much
abused daily newspaper ever indulges in
are to be found in journals whose editors
sign ID. ID. after their names.-EXchange

The Milk Seller of santa Fe.

But before leaving the city of "HOly
Faith" one should not forget TO visit
"Burro Alley Here at its very entrance
is our milk carrier, a black-eyed, olive
skinned boy of tender years, at whose side
stands a patient, sOber-lOOking donkey,
loaded down with bags Of milk Here at
last is something odd. The boy is pure
Mexican, Indifferent, apparently, to ones
observation, but alive To a chance to sell
a glass OF milk, and a master of the art of
putting on his broad -brimmed hat to give
the most picturesque effect As for the
burrO, his face, surmounted by long, flap
ping ears is rs docile but yet as conceited
as that of a camel Of Egypt. There are
dozens of the little animals in the alley,
and their presence there every day has
given the lane its singular name Some
of them are loaded with bundles of wood,
Others are half-covered with live chickens
that have been brought into town to mar
ket, and others are straddled by men who
are too lazy TO walk, and whose feet nearly
touch the ground, owing to the diminutive
size of the burro. Early in the mor1ing
the strange gathering arrives, and at
evening the beasts and their masters
march slowly rtf to their homes in the
country.

Trinket Sellers of the Capital.

A threat has been made by the house
committee on rules to clear out the many
little trinket sellers in the south end of the
capital, and 10 make the approaches to the
house as clear and dignitied as those lead
ing TO the senate. There has been quite a
hOmelike disposition shown all along by
members of the house that is in wide con
trast TO the manners of the senate, and
now revolution is threatened As one
approaches the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives from the senate he is impressed
with the abundance of lunch, candy. cigar,
news, apple and other stands on every
hand. Then there are telegraph offices
and "A display of junketry that reminds one
of the vicinity of a main stand at coun-
try fair. Members stand around smoking
reading, writing kilograms, talking and
otherwise blocking the way and relieving
the scene of all vestige of dignity. There
is nothing to impress the stranger that
he is in the presence of the lower braQch
Of the congress of the United States.
The line seems 10 have been drawn
against but one thing and that is the
vending of newspapers by boys. The boot
black is also excluded, and the cries of the
fakir are not heard, but there are enough
stands to supply "A market place. Great
heaps of photographs of congressman and
senators, pieces of statuary from the pulp
of paper currency, besides rare bits of
olive wood from Palestine (or Maine), and
piles of every kind of trinkets which go 10
make up the stock Of miniature fancy no
tion stores-all right at the Threshold of
the main entrance to the house of repre-
sentatives. Now it is proposed that these
knickknaCk venders shall be ordered ont
of the corridors and given space below, on
the next floor. They have been suffered
to remain where they are for the conven-
fence of members, who, in minute, can
run off the floor of the house and buy
most any little thing needed and be in
their seats again within a minute.-WaSh-

The democrats of Ohio have lost one of
their best men-and indeed We may say
his of the people of the state-in the
death of the sturdy, honest, patriotic vet
eran, Gen. Durbin Ward. There was no
Iaint of corruption about him: he would
have no position at the sacrifice of honor.
The GLoBE-REPUBIIC had nothing but
praise for General Ward while he was liv-
ing. 1t is quite consistent, therefore, in
praising him after he j. gone.
