The elrdsener, Of nre1ico.

Then there are street impositions here,
as everywhere. One of the shrewedest
and most revolving is that of the bird
sellers, who stand on the curb inviting
h passerby 10 purchase nne of the
feathered little creatures thar perch on
the outstretched finger Of their owner
without ever an effort to wirg away to
blue skies and clear aoils, put of the
dirty, crowded, pestilept street, whose
roar and reek must be something diaboli-
cal to the nee free creatures of the for
est and meadows. 1t is not that the lit
tie brilliant hued morsels do not feel fear,
for the beady bright black eyes re
strained and starting, their tiny bodies
a-quiver with agony. Their wings are
not clipped; they are not drugged, for
there is naught of the stupidity that be-
tokens doing. Yet sit will not fly
away from you, your worship. See how
tame my little pet is. Buy twill you
buy it'll Two hard dollarsl' saws the
vender, and the little pet, If not tame, is
certainly quiescent. What spell has been
put upon it? The coarse and cruel trick
which has been told under so humorous
a cloaking in 1.-THE Jumping Frog of
Calaveras." The bird does not attempt
to fly, knowing the endeavor hopeless.
Its tender little body has been heavily
poured full of leaden shot to achieve that
very result.-City of Mexico Cor. San

A Washington dispatch of the 11th says: The Democratic members of the House Committee on Territories held a caucus to-day at winch the bills now pending for the admission of Dakota, Montana, Washington and New Mexi- co as States of the Union were consid- cred. After a lengthy and presuma- blv exhaustive conference it was de- cided to favor the admission of these four Territories, Dakota to be admit ted as a whole. It was deemed advis- able to report an omnibus bill, so that any fight for the division of Dakota may be so far as possible avoided. It was also decided to apply the enabling act to all so as to keep them out of national politics until after next elec- tion. The committee will therefore probably report the omnibus bill in a few days, and It will doubtless pass the House as it comes from the com mittee. The Senate, however, it is understood, will oppose an omnibus bill of this description, and it is pOssl- ble there may be no new States admit ted until next session.

The total population of New Mexi- co, according to the census of 1880, lelght years ago, mnd you), was 119, ooo' and there were at that time resi- dent Tn the Territory 57,156 persons who could not write their own names. Are we ready for Statehood under such condition of affairs, making a big allowance for any and all inn proyement sinc3 then2 Pause and ponder-Las Vegas Optic.
 It IS historically true that New Mexican politicians have had the ques- ton of Statehood ever present since 1860 or '61. During that time it took shape in an editorial in the Santa Fe Gazette, (published by James L. Col lns), the only paper in the Territory, and was kept persistently at the fore Tn each succeeding issue of the paper, until J. B. Watrous, William B. Tip ton, James Johnson, Enoch Tipton, Eugene Leitensdorfer, Searcy and oth- CTS brained the bantilng by series of resolution showing that the measure was for the political and pecuniary advancement of the few, at the ex- pense of the many. The resolutions referred to, which were at first denied place III the Gazette, finally ap- peared, but not until Collins was in- formed that they would be published in the Missouri Democrat and thou sand copies of that paper gratultously distributed throughout the Territory for the information of the people. Judges Kirby Benedict and John s. Watts had fingers in Collins pie, look ing to seats in the U. s. Senate, and Collins to the prospective State execu- tive chair.

Forty years ago the United States stood sixth Tn point of population among civilized nations of the Globe, and now it leads the na- tions in extent, value and variety of natural resources.

Discoveries made as to the compost ton of "pure refined family lard" by Senate committee now in sessiea in Washington, D. C., are not calculated to cause the general public to banker for it. A sample, bearing the stamp of Armour & Go. "pure, refined family lard was found to contain about 60 per cent of hogs lard with 20 per cent each of cotton-seed oil and beef tallow. Fairbanks & Co. s, Chicago, "prime. re- fined family lard' was made of the same elements, but had a greater pro- portion of beef fat and cotton-seed oil. A sample bearing the stamp of Hal stead & Co.,, "psre family lard," and another from the same firm stamped in Spanish, ''pure lard, registered, etc, contained, so far as the test had been carried, not a particle of hog lard, but were made of beef fat and cotton-seed oil. Samples subjected to analytical tests were ad infnitum, and but one of the entire lot of ''pure leaf lard" was entirely composed of hog and that was derived from the trim mings."
 The BELT suggests that the admix- ture of hog fat, beeftallow and cotton seed oil should not be a cause of com plaint. isQspply a matter of taste, and when educated to relish for the compound, pure leaf lard would prove distasteful, as was the case with the tenderfoot who, in passing over the Santa Fe trail from the Missouri river to the city of the Holy Faith. in the absence of wood was forced to use bufalo-chips instead of fuel where with to prepare his meals, and after continued use of the chips, his palate became so attached to the flavor of 1t that he threw away the meat and ate the chips.

The Supreme Court of New Mexico has rendered an opinion in the case of John G. Potter against the Rlo Grande Land and Cattle Company, involving the validity of the sale of 300,00O acres of land and large number Of cattle to Potter, an Enghshman, made but not consummated before the Allen Act was signed by the President. A lower court decided that the sale, by reason of the passage of the Alien Act, was void. The Supreme Court, how ever, reverses this decision and in an able opin1on by Justice Henderson, holds that the Alien Act is net to be construed as operating retrospectiyely so as to impair any past contract or transaction, but is to be confined to new cases, and therefore that all exc cutory contracts made before its. pas sage by Congress may still be enforced in conformity with the prlor law. The decision is an important one and favorably affects other large land and mining interests in New Mexico, and will rebound to her benefit.

The value of the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, California, Is al- ready proven by the discovery of a new star in the trapezium of Orion. Alvin G. Clark, of Cambridge, Mass, one of the makers of the lens, who has been giving his personal attention to the erection of the telescope, discov- cred the star, which is the seventh in the trapezlum of Orion. He says the discovery is very important fer two reasons: 1t shows the power of the telescope at the Lick Observatory, proving it to be the strongest in the countryside strongest in the world !; and it also shows the advantage the observatory has over nearly all others in the United States Tn the matter of locality. 1 think in that respect the people of the Pacific Slope are to be congratulated. have locked through the telescope from my home in Cam bridge for new stars in the trapezium of Orion, and have been unsuccessful in the search. On Mount Hamilton, however, the discovery is made almost the first night we try the instrument This star is within the trapezium, and it , l think, the only one that has ev3 been discovered there.
