The Territory Of New Mexico.

In many parts of New Mexico the
landscape features present an aspect
not dissimilar to certain parts of Egypt.
Syria and Palestine. Says Harper's
Weekly: There is the same clear air,
high lights and wide desert spaces
bounded 10y plateaus and sand hills,
and winding through the fiat, sandy
valley silver stretch of river, its banks
bordered by occasional trees-in New
Mexico sycamorcs and cOttonwoods-
growing singly and in clumps. The
low, flat rooted, thick walled houses of
sun baked brick of tints akin to the
soil add to this impression, and the ORR
entail aspect of the country is sustained
in many of the structures, implements
and customs of its people. In the
open fields are the threshing floors of
beaten clay, upon which sheep, goats
or asses trample the wheat from the
straw, and the grain is afterward win
moved by the process of tossing it from
blankets into the air, and in secluded
communities the juice yet is trodden
from the grape in rawhide tubs by the
naked feet Of men and women, and fer
mented into wine in great ollas, or
earthen jars as large as barrels. In
these by-places oxen, as in patriarchal
times, draw the wooden one-handled
plow or creaking, cumbrous. wooden
cart by means of yokes stretched across
their horns.

A Review Of the Victory.

Since the smoke of the great politi-
cal battle of 1890 has cleared off, enab-
ling us to have clear view of the field,
let us look at the grand result.
In the popular vote in all the states
the Democrats have aplurality of 627 :
$50, as against 100000 for Cleveland
two years ago.
We have elected 242 members of the
next Congress. The Republicans have
elected but SO.
We have gained the legislatures OF
New York, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Illinois, and with the Farmers Alli-

The Buddhists' Adam.

The many curious legends concern
ing Adam which have already been
published in "Notes for the Curious"
would lack in completeness were we to
omit giving an account OF the Moham-
medan superstition regarding an i'm
preston, supposed to be q footprint,
found in the solid rock on Adams
peak, or Mount Samantha, a high
mountain in Ceylon.
According to the Mohammedan le-
gend, Adam, after the fall and expul-
sion from the garden, was taken by an
angel to the top of this mountain,
where his minds eye saw panorama
of all the i'll that should afflict man.
kind. These narrowing sights were
such weight on the man, who, not
withstanding his sin in the garden, was
yet a good man, that his foot left its
imprint on the solid rock, his tears
forming lake, both the print and the
lake being still visible.
The Buddhists have their own legend
of the Sripada, or Sacred Footprint, ac-
cording to which Buddha, ascending to
heaven, left the impression where last
he touched the earth on the rocky
sides of Samantha. The Brahmans
also and the Chinese have their le-
gends, and for more than two thousand
years all have worshipped in their own
way around the gigantic imprint. The
foot print itself is five and quarter
feet by two and a half feet; the site in
a rocky basin; much faith and a lively
Imagination being necessary to aid one
in discovering a very great likeness Of
the outlines to that of human foot.
To perform pilgrimage to this shrine
and to lay an offering upon it is to a
Buddhist what a visit to Mecca is to a
Mohammedan. Tradition tells us that
the iron chains fastened in the rocks
to give safety to the pilgrims in cross
ing rocky canyons, near the Sacred
Footprint, were put there by Alexander
the Great.

Workings Of the Lottery Law.

Newspapers which publish ADVERTISE
ments OF guessing contests are not to
be shut out of the mails under the
lottery law. So decides Attorney
General Miller, who has been devoting
considerable time since the election
to the consideration of the subject.
Notwithstanding this decision, a news
paper in All Oregon town was thrown
out of the mails for simply printing a
notice of a church fair. The p. NJ.
probably thought he was courting fa-
vor with pious John, the P. M. general
but John won't endorse such liberal
construction of the law. A religious
paper in Texas met with similar fate
on account of making some allusion
to the gift of tongues, spoken of in::the
New Testament. The postmaster
said it came under the statute against
gift shows. Out in Wyoming an edi-
tor, just to be funny, said something
about putting nickel in the slot and
drawing out something or another;
he had his whole edition returned to
him. He demanded an explanation
at the post office, and was told that
drawing something pertained to the
lottery business, and it was prohibited.
Perhaps the pictures 1 print would
exclude the paper, too" said the edi-
tor, sarcastically. "Not at ALL" re-
piled the postmaster, " there is no
drawing shown in them"
According to the attorney general,
it is proper to guess the number of
votes a candidate will receive, the
number Of beans in jar, or which
piece of church fair cake has ring in
it, while it is wrong to guess whether
the jack of clubs will turn up first or
second, or a certain number will be
drawn from a lottery wheel. In other
words, the law is construed to be an
effort to treat highly developed forms
of disease and ignore in it its incipi-
ent stages. The malignant cancer is
to be cut out but the cause OF the dis
ease is to be overlooked. There is no
question that these milder and more

respectable" forms of hazard instill
into the young the spirit of gambling
that makes them later voteries of the
vice in its grosser forms. When the
idea of obtaining by chance something
valuable for practically nothing once
taken possession OF the mind it grows
like spreading fungus that can never
be destroyed. What we need, says the
lTest Shore, is Professor Koch to
discover something with which to in
oculate tho human mind, and extar-
inmate the deadly bacillus of gamb-
ling before it has become too strong.

Senator Allen thinks the want of intel

that pail Of ignorance has fallen over
the north with such great men as Allen
to lead them?

SNoHoMIsH county, which two years

months, have three, and possibly four
lines of roads traversing the county in
different directions. These will give a
wonderful impetus to the settlement

will furnish ample facilities, along with
contemplated road improvements, to
the farmers for the transportation Of
their produce both by rail and water.

No less than $50 young women have
taken up timber claims in Western
Washington during the past six
months, and in Eastern Washington
probably 100 others have located lands.
The lands that can now be had are
mainly in outlying sections somewhat
remote from railways, and can be
reached only with some difficulty. As
new wagon roads and railroads are
being pushed all the time, however,
the opportunities are still good.

TIE WASHINGTON SENATE.
Personnel OF its Membership.

Secretary c. VI. Barton, OF the first
Senate, says OF the next Senate, which
will assemble in January: The new
act gives the second
Senate OF the State OF Washington one
member less than the first Senate.
OF tie thirty-four members there are
seventeen hollovcr Senators. They
are from the eycn-numbcrcd districts
of the State by the first apportlon-
ment, and all OF them are Republicans
except Senator Henry Drum, OF Ia
coma, who is the only Democrat from
one of the two greatest counties OF the
State-king and Pierce. Ii the able
young Senator from the City OF Dcs-
tiny had been compelled to take his
chances with his fellow Democrats i'll
the last campaign he probably would
have gone down with the rest, as it
appeared to be the determination OF
these two counties to make Il clean
sweep for the Republican ticket. The
holdovcr terms OF Office expire III 1872,
and the seventeen newly elected Sen
tors do not 90 out of office until 1894
so that every two years hereafter
seventeen new Senators will be Sc
lected to serve four years. In 1S9J Il
new apportionment must be made,
based upon an enumeration OF the in
babitants of the State. 1t is provided
for by constitutional enactment.
THE HOLD OVERS.
OF the seventeen hold-overs, Austin,
OF Asotin and Garfield, has added to
his district the county of Columbia.
Baker, Drum and l.. f. Thompson
remain in Pierce with changed district
numbers.
Clough, OF Clarke, takes in Skama-
mia county.
Hyde, Houghton and Wait are still
for Spokane, Kneeland, who repre-
sented Mason and Kitsap, is also Sen
ator from Island.
Long will still speak for Lewis, the
Oldest county in the State.
Luce, who was Il quartette Senator
from Lincoln, Okanogan, Adams and
Franklin has had the last two Topped
off.
Owings will still hold down the cap
ital county, ThurstOn.
Parkinson will not be so lonesome
from Whatcom, as he has Demo
cratic colleague from that county.
Preston will represent part of Walla
Walla, and George Thompson the
same and in addition will keep his eye
on Pasco and Franklin county.
Nestal remains the sole Senator
from Snohomish, and Wilson has hat
Douglas county attached to his bali
wick of Kittitas.

The new Senate, taken all in all, is
Il strong body of vigorous, able men
not yet i'll the prime of life, worthy TO
represent the varied interest of the
splendid State. They come from fif-
teen States in the Union-from Maine
in the East to Oregon in the West,
from Kentucky in the South to Michi-
gan in the North. Two of them are
from where "The harp that once
through Tara's hall" was heard, Thomp-
son, OF Walla Walla, and Parkinson,
OF Whatcom, and though scarcely re-
membering the green hills of Erin,
have the wonderful gilt of oratory
with which that strong race Of people
has been blessed. Thompson, Of
Walla Walla, by the way, is as fluent
OF speech in Kaiser Wilhelm's dialect
as he is in English or Celtic, can quote
classical poetry by the yard, sing a
song and try case as cleverly as any
attorney in the State.

of that method is still disputed. 1t is
