when boy, my mother always made me
attend Friday evening prayer meeting in
our village church at Peekskill. An old
Yankee deacon, who had sold me pair
of skates which were of dull edge and
soft metal, was reciting his shortcomings
and offering a fervent petition for mercy.
He summed up the catalogue by saying,
80 Lord, am morally and spiritually

sulting from this frank agreement with
the deacon.-[Chauncey NJ. Depew.

THE BORDER FRACAS.

A small spec Of war is visible on the
southwestern horizon. Little or no at
tention was paid to the movements OF the
Mexican border revolutionist, CARA,
whose real name is probably Garcia, until
his encounter the other day with Capt.
Bourk which resulted in killing soldier
in the United States army. This has
aroused American ire, as it properly
should, and Uncle Sans war department
is perfecting arrangements to- put quetus
upon this bold border brigand. The task
is in good hands with Gen. David S. Stan
ley in command of the department of
Texas. He is q brave and gallant officer,
especially familiar with the topography
of the country infected by these revolu-
tionists, and his long experience on the
frontier will stand him well in hand in
chasing the Cara gang among the sand
hills of the lower Rio Grande. 1t is said
the revolutionists number at this time
about 400 men, cut up into small squads
for convenience, but the chances are that,
unless they are hedged in shortly by the
Mexican troops operating in concert with
the American forces, recruits will be
focking to them from many quarters OF
Mexico, and if this occurs prolonged
contest of more or less public concern may
be looked for.
The time appears particularly opportune
in some respects for an uprising in many
of the states of our sister Republic. Take
the state of Durango for example, where
there are 10000 families on the verge of
starvation. Should CARA prove to have
back of him sufficient capital and have any
sort OF soldierly ability he has but to send
his lieutenants into these famine stricken
districts, and among localities where
small bands of revoutionists always exist
in Mexico, assuring them of plenty to eat
and few cents salary per day, and he
will muster following that will prove
prodiglous in numbers. Their fighting
qualities is another question, out certain
it is that under certain conditions this
revolutionary movement may yet become
quite serious for Mexico. 1t may be we'll
enough to keep an eye on the lower Rio
Grande border for few weeks.

DAYS no letter mail has been received
from Albuquerque or from the south for
that matter in this city.
The postal inspectors are stationed at
Denver, where they have good time and
draw their salaries with commendable
regularity and precision, but when it
comes to looking after postal affairs in
New Mexico they are not as good at 1t as
they might be.
When one of these very high toned
officials comes to the city, he monkeys
around the postoffice for few hours and
leaves in hurry instead OF going
about and making inquiry, especial
ly at the newspaper offices, how pos
tai matters run in New Mexico. The
chief postoflice inspector in Washing
ton will do we'll to haul some OF these
gentlemen over the Goals and give the
people of New Mexico better service during
the coming year.
