JOINING A CIRCUS.
The Satisfying Experiences o.
Two Farmer Boys.

We two Illinois farmers boys, had
run away from home and joined cir
Gus.
The circus hostler showed us bunk
where we could sleep and dream of the
picnics we would have, and how they
would miss US at home.
It was not what we had been ac-
customed to. 1t was a pile of moldy
hay within easy reach of mule that
hadn't yet got acquainted with us.
About two o'clock in the morning we
were told to make hasty toilet and
repair to the dining tent. As matter
of course, l was not hungry. The sight
of that table made Frank turn pale and
he wanted to back out, but l chided
him for his weakness and we took a
seat. / ordered the waiter to bring us
cup of coffee. 1t wasn't served in
china cups and saucers either. Every
thing about a circus dining tent is
made to prevent breakage, and of the
plainest kind of tinware. The bread
was stale, the meat tough and the but
ter-p That was our fare; but for
dinner we had potatoes cooked in full
dress.
After breakfast, when we were ready
TO start, we found, to our dismay, that
our wardrobe had disappeared. What
were we to dop Who could have taken
FTP Invent to the hostler. He told me
to keep still and he would find it in a
day or two.
The boss told us how and what to do,
and soon we were ready to start with
the rest; you see we travelled by land,
and by night and day as well.
My job was to drive the caravan con-
tanning the lion, while Frank had a
cage of wax figures. When climbed
up on my vehicle and pulled up the
reins, / thought myself the most i'm

a shock that almost threw me from NV

This made the driver very indignant and
he shouted back to me: Here, what's
the matter? you gawky, son-of-a-gun

around and, to my dismay, Frank was

them it mattered not that "he was not
eloquent, nor learned, nor cultivated,
nor agreeable, nor entertaining, nor
attractive in mind, manner or person"
He was an Executive who executed and
that was what called forth their spe-
cial admiration.
This is the man, said they, whom we
want to execute the laws of the United
States, and they insisted on having
him, even though they had to turn out
a twenty-year-old political party to do
it.
Now the only astounding" thing in
all that is not that the people should
choose such q man for President, but
that a man could be found for mayor
Of Buffalo who, after election, would
actually refuse to go into co-partner-
ship with the law-defying elements
and to the happy stupefaction Of timid
despairing folk, actually execute the
laws.
1t was the execution that Grover
Cleveland wrought as mayor that made
him Governor. It was the execution
he wrought as Governor that made him
President. II is the execution he has
wrought as President that caused his
denomination at st. Louis.
It Is one of the "most astounding
phenomena in American politics."
Brother ingalls,, that q man of your
political discernment can not see that.

Rolled Train Robbers |.

Notwithstanding the stringent law of New Mexico, which punlshes with death the wrecking or robbing of passenger train. there are still desper- ate characters in that Territory who are willing to risk their lives for the chance of lll-gotten gains from the treasure box or passengers of an ex. press tram.
 Only four months ago the east bound passenger train was robbed while standing at the Navajo Springs coaling station, and few days later another robbery was prevented by carrying strong guard on the train, officials on the road having received information of an intended attack.
 Last Friday the conductor of the east bound passenger train received a mysterious missiye, detailing the plan of anintende3 attack upon bis train, which was to be thrown from the track at Luna Station, and the pas sengers and express car sacked in the excitement and confusion fthe wreck.
 Superintendent Gaddis was imme- diately communicated with, and by his orders a guard of six men boarded the tram at Gallup. Approaching the threatened point of attack with great caution, abundant evidence was found of the desperate designs ar the would be train wreekers. who had evidently placed the obstructions in the shape sf hes and old rails on the track, but get ting wind of the warm reception that had been prepared for them. had hur- riedly thrown them of and made their escape to the hills-Hoibrook Stan dard.

connection with concentration, new era sf prosperity will surely follow.
 The existence of auriferous ores near Globe is well and favorably estab. lished. Considerable quantities of placer gold from quartz veins on Plnal mountain and from Geldhill are pro- duced in the rainy season and broad and extensive belt is found with auri- ferrous in large quantities, but has never been worked in earnest, or with fair skill and economy.
 To sum the matter up it should be said, that Globe district which nearly embraces the mineral portion of the county has great and prosperous fu- ture before it, as soon as more mining will be done there as business, with ample means and skill; and by using that same experience, that has been so advantageous in other more advanced localities and especially with the ad- vent of a railroad.

 stars were disposed in circle, symbo-
 Ilzlng the perpetuity of the Union, the circle being the sign of eternity Both the tbirteen stripes and the stars showed the number of the United Col onies, and denoted the subordinatlcn of the States to, and their dependence upon, the Union, as well as equality among themselves. The whole was a blending of the previous banners. namely, the red flag of the army and the white one of the navy. The red coler, which in the days of Roman glory was the signal of defance, de- noted daring, and the white purity.
 On the 18th of January, 1794, by an act of Congress, the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On tue 4th et April. ISIS, Congress again altered the flag by returning to the original thirteen strlpes and fifteen star, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional State would make the flag too un- wieldy. The new star is added to the flag on the Fourth of July following the admission of each State into the Union, conclude with the follow ing aPostrophe to the beloved old flag; Light of our Armament, guide of our nation,
