LIbss Law Condemned.

The Collar county. New Mexlco Farners' alliance adopted unani- mously the following resolution concern ing New Mexico's libel law:
 Be it resolved by the Ccifax County Farmers' alliance-That the 'qibel law passed by the late legislature of the ter- ritory of New Mexico. is unjust in the fact that it attempts to muzzle the press of the territory. and at the same time gives to members of the bar the privilege to unjustly defame the character of in- nocent persons in the count room; and recognizing as we do, that the press is the exponent of the opinions, and the guardian of the liberties of the people;
 Therefore do we resolve. That the ac- tions of the members of the legislature, who worked and voted for the same. are deserving oi our condemnation.
 And be it further resolved, That the thanks of this body are due to Governor E. c. Ross, Councilman Rodey, and Representative Kistler. for their efforts in opposition to this attempt at tone man poWer."

A man named Wugland. one of the passengers of the wrecked steamer, Dar-
 mark. says he overheard conversation between the officers before the vessel sailed m which one of them said to the others in the apartment that he thought the vessel would never reach New York that her machinery is in bed order, and had not received the care that it should before it sailed; the pumps were broken
 and in case of accident would be found of little use. "I am afraid" one of the Danmark' officers is reported to have said, i've will meet the with the fate Of the Geyser." The Geyser was vessel of the same line. and was sunk of Nova Scotia by collision with the Thinkvalla about a year ago. Wug- land further said that the vessels coal boxes were afre on two occasions be- fore the machinery gave out The first occurred at o'clock on the night of the a7th of March. the second at 3:3o in the afternoon of the following day. The passengers heard of both fires, and showed more uneasiness oveA these comparatively slight accidents than when the vessel became totally disabled.

The natural soap mines of Owens Lake, Cal, are thus accounted for by one of the company now working them. He says that the water of the lake con- tains strong solution ot borax and soda. In these waters there breeds a grub that becomes fly. The flies die in the water and drift ashore, cover ing the ground to the depth of foot or more. The oily substance of the flies blend with the borax and soda, and the result is a layer of pure soap.

A printer employed upon this paper recently bought three or four cigars from a Chinese peddler. The printer smoked one or two and pronounced them good. The third one refused to draw and had . peculiar taste, so he extinguished the night and cut the cigar open. In the center was a a2-caliber cartridge with the bullet pointing to- ward the mouth end. The cartridge would have exploded in a few moments had the printer persisted in smoking. The deadly thing was undoubtedl ly placed in the cigar at the factory. It would certainly have injured the smoker severely had it exploded.-WoodIand Mail.

The Globe Silver Belt has the follow ing very sensible excerpt on the ques. tion of taxing mortgages: "The legal. ity of taxing mortgages was decided ad- versely by Judge Porter on Thursday, who holds that where the property en- cumbered is assessed at its full value, the mortgage on the same cannot be taxed. The matter will now go to the supreme court for final decision. Judge Porter's opinion is manifestly just. The Arizona laws should have been amend cd by the legislature so as to conform with that of California, which while requiring the taxation Of mortgages exempts SO much of the property as is comprehended by the encumbrance. That is to say the property is taxed only on the valuation over and above the amount of the mortgage.
