JuDerNa from the New MEXICAN and
other papers published in thaC section Of
New Mexico, we had very good opinion
of San Pedro rs live mining camp, but
the last Aumber OF the Outlook knocked
this opinion ali endwise. On account Of
the failure OF the people who have located
there for business purposes to advertise
the Outlook suspends with its seccs ID
number. This is sure evidence that it is
bubble camp and those who are con-
templating locating there should take
warn ng.-Rio Grande Republican.
The Republicans good opinion of San
Pedro was well founded. The newspaper
fed there was well occupied before the
"Oullook" adventure was initiated, and
anybody with half an eye u business
ought to have known it. The Golden
Nine and thu. Csrrillos Rustler are both

FREDERICK DOUGLAS, the new minister
to Hay ii, has sailed from New York in
the United States war ship the kearsarge
for lis mission. The usual salute Of fl
teen guns was fred in honor OF the de-
parting minister. Sec. Tracy; OF the
navy department, made change in the
captain Of the irigate, who had offered
some objections to this service. The Re-
publican administration knows no color
in politics, or the rendering of the honor
which belongs to its high officials.

THERE is always some less in changing
names OF long established associations.
To drop out Episcopal and substitute
Catholic, in the name Of the Protestant
Episcopal church, would ignore history,
hide distinctive principle of organiza-

names of two great divisions OF the Chris
TIM church.

TIE most important questions arising in
the great Episcopal convention, now in
session in New York, are the basis OF rep
resentation, the revision of the prayer
book and the adoption Of the name, the
Catholic church of America, which, it is
claimed, will best define its present posi-
ton and ioreshadow its future.

AFTER Dark"

A young man, w. A. Brady, has
done what a number of managers
thought was impracticable. He has
put Dion Boucicault's play "After
Dark" on at city theatre and kept
it there for two weeks to profita bic
business. The first week of the run
at Mr.. Miners Peoples the seating
capacity of the theatre was tested at
each evening performance, and the
attendance during the week now
ending has been Unexpectedly large
The scenic adiuncts of the play and
the speciality feature of the Concert
Hall scene have given a considerable
renewal of interest to the story, and
the acting Of the company engaged
in the performance has been, on the
whole, Splendid Y. Telegram.

A Late Riser,

Ed. Daily LIGHT:
All this talk about early rising il
moonshine. The habit of turning Out
of bed in the middle of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But
it Is only folly to lay down a general
rule upon the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day
after they have risen early every
morning. Their energies are dead.
ened, their imaginations are heavy,
their spirits are depressed.
1t is said you can work 80 well in
the morning. Some people can, but
others can work best at night; others,
again, in the afternoon. Long trial
and experiment form the only cOnclu-
sive tests upon these points.
AS for getting up early because
Prof. All Cannon has written letters
to the papers proving the necessity OF
it, let no one be goose enough to do it.
We all know the model man, aged
80; invariably rise at 5; work three
hours. take light breakfast, namely,
cracker and a pinch of salt; work
five hours more; never smoke, never
drink anything, but barley water, eat
no dinner, and go to bed at six in the
evening.
If anybody finds that donkeyfied
sort of life suits him, by all means
let him continue it. But few people
would care to live to so on these
terms. If man cannot get all with
cred and crumpled up on easier con-
ditions than those, it is almost as
we'll that he should depart before he
is a nuisance to himself and bore to
everybody else.
Schoolboys and young people gen.
orally ought to get up early, for it is
found that nine-tenths of them can
stand it and it does them good.
But let no man torture himself with
the thought that he could have been
twice as good a man as he is if he
had risen every morning at daylight,
The habit would kill half of us in
less than five years.

An Odd Kissing Game.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
81 found q peculiar custom up at
ShepherdstOwn, w. Va, where L
spent my vacation" said gentle
man yesterday, (which was novelty.
The people have what they call
soups A soup is sort Of outdoor
picnic. Each person invited brings
a dressed chicken. The host provides
the vegetables. The chickens and
vegetables are put into huge ket-
ties holding ten to twenty gallons
and cooked over open fires for
severed hours until the COM
bination is reduced almost to jelly.
Pepper and other seasoning are intro
duced. The young folks stir soup
with long-handed iron spoons, walk
ing around the kettle as they stir.
When a girls spoon clicks against
the spoon Of a young man he is bound
to catch and kiss her. AS you can
imagine, there are good many. lively
scrimmages around the kettle. When
the soup is done it is ladled out into
plats and eaten, and is delicious.
The custom Is an old one and was
unable to find it's origin. A company
of Stonewall Jackson's command was
recruited around Shepherdstown and
it still keeps up the organization. 1t
has reunion every year and cele-
brates the occasion with grand
soup A soup Of that company to
be properly gotten up should be
of stolen chicken, but the veterans
have had to give up foraging since
the war, and now make a compromise
with necessity by going around in
squads and robbing each others hen
roosts by a prearranged understand
ing.

Chin csc MaximS.

San Francisco Alta.
Forbearance is attended with profit.
Life is a journey, and death areturn
home.
The straightest trees are the first
felled.
Causeless anger resembles waves
without wind.
1t is better to suffer an injury than
to commit one.
A discontinued man is like a snake
who would swallow an elephant.
When silent consider your own
faults, and while speaking spare those
of others.
To prosecute the unfortunate is like
throwing stones on one fallen in q
we'll.
Ifmen will have no care for the fu-
ture, they will soon have sorrow for
the past.
Hear both sides, and all will be
clear; hear but one, and you will still
be in the dark.
Kind feeling may be paid with kind
feeling, but debts must be paid in
hard cash.
Those above should not Cypress
those below, nor those below en-
croach on those above.
The people are the roots of the
State; if the roots are flourishing the
State will endure.
The house wherein learning
abounds will arise; that wherein
pleasure prevails will fall.
To be fully fed and warmly clothed
and to dwell at ease, without learn
ing, Is better than a bestial state.
The wisest must ia thousand
times be once mistaken, the most
foolish in thousand times must be
once right.
When paths are constantly trodden
they are kept cean, but when aban-
doned the weeds choke them up; so
weeds choke the mind in the absence
of employment.

An Amusing Mistake,

Exchange.
A remarkable mistake was made at
the opening of the Industrial fair at
Toron to. Sir John Macdonald had made
his opening speech of congratulatiOn,
and before calling upon him to press an
electric button starting the machin-
cry, President Withrow invited one
or two other speakers to deliver ad-
dresses. One of them was, Mr. John
Legs, M.P.P. for Toronto. He ad vanc-
ed to the front andlaid his heavy white
hat on top of the electric button, In
stantly there was shrieking of whis-
ties, and the machinery in the build
mig began to run, the crowd roared
with laughter, and after much ges-
ticulation and running about the
managers stopped the proceeding and
the machinery was restarted by Sir
John and Lady Macdonald.
HOUSTON boasts of being too full of
business to hold fair. Dallas made
it her business a few years ago to Or
ganize fair. She has improved on
that original exposition from year to
year, and she has found it the best
card she ever played in the great
game of trade. This year she eclipses
all previous efforts and will reap
millions from her efforts. A big fair
pays big, and San Antonio is waking
up to the high water mark for such
enterprises. Every year will see her
advance.
