Human Ministry.

TO all who walk the ways Of earth,
OF noble or Of humble birth,
Belongs a power oIpriceless worth,
Divinely given,
Beloved Of heaven.
A power, beautiful indeed,
To help their fellows in their need,
The hunger of their souls to feed,
And make less dreary,
Lives sad and weary;
BY little things that cost not much
A kindly word, look, touch
Thus sunny CLEANS to bring to such
As lack ife's sweetness
In its completeness.
Yet DER earths pathways high and low,
Do mortals hungry, fainting go,
For what their fellows might bestow
Their hearts TO tighten,
Their Gays to brighten.
Not pitiless are all, nor cold,
Yet all unthnkingly withhold
Much they might give more dear than gold,
To spirits weary,
With burdens dreary.
No one his fellows heart may read.
Or know the measure Of his need,
Or number those who inly bleed,
Yet smiling cover
Their heart-wounds over;
And none there are Of all that live,
That live not better, to receive
The pleasant things that all may give
OF helpful power,
In every hour.
The kindly word and look and smile,
How mighty are they to beguile,
And make earth's often weary while
Not wholly cherries,
Though never fearless.
Alas the many that remain
In spirit-hdngor and In pain,
And wait and long and pine in vain
For such revealing
OF fellow feeling.
o, mortals, freely give Of such
The cheering word, the smile, the touch
That nothing cost, that help so much
Sad hearts to tighten,
Dark hours to brighten.

A "Hobbet.o

We do not know the origin of the
word "Hobbet," for it is not in any
dictionary that we have had occasion
to consult; yet it is said to be in COM
mon use in Wales as a measure of
grain just as the bushel is with us.
A hobbet of barley is 147 pounds, of
wheat 100, of oats los, and of peas
aud beans $50 pounds. Perhaps the
compilers of some of the newer die
tionaries may strike upon this old
grain measure and give its derivation.

NATIONAL AIRS.
An Extensive Collection by the
Marine Band Leader.
Many Curious Facts Brought
Out In a Long Search.

One OF the most remarkable works
ever published under the authority of
the government is the book just out by
Mr. John Philip Sou,a, conductor of
the United States Marine Band. which
contains the national and patriotic
songs of nearly every nation in the
world. The preparation of this book
occupied about two years of fairly
close labor, although even before work
was commenced in earnest Mr.. Sousa
had been gradually gathering material
since 1876. 1t was then that the idea
first suggested itself to him, when
lands from foreign countries cune to
Philadelphia at the Centennial Expo
sition.
Some curious facts are brought to
light by an examination of this col
lection, which includes about $50 airs.
Turkey furnishes ono which is full of
minor chords of wild, discordant har-
mony, which is supposed to be charac-
teristic of people closed In from con-
tact with moro enlightened and cul-
tured people, and also another song
with stirring theme and broad. full
harmony, which indicates that the
composer had had the advantage OF
musical education in Germany. The
airs of the Spanish Islands are dreamy
and soft, as might be expected, while
a surprise Is found in an Esquim0 In
dian air that is tonder and sweet and
would do credit to any nation. The
beauty of this, however, is brought
out in the harmony By Mr.. Sousa. The
air which we know as "America,"
but which is the English ''God Save
the Queen" belongs to 10 less than
seven different nations, and even the
music of the "Star Spangled Banner"
"Yankce Doodle" and columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean," have been appro-
priated from airs sung in Europe long
before the United States was nation.
After Mr.. Sousa had commenced his
work officially there were three ma
tions that changed their national airs
on account of change of government
or ruler. Brazil oyerthrew The en-
peror AID became a republic. aud the
present national air was the result of
competitive contest made last June
Portugal adopted new air when the
young King Carlos was proclaimed.
and Nicaragua selected a new one
when she elected a new president.
Some of the airs from out-of-thc- way
places were whistled or sung to Mr..
Sousa, and he noted them down and
then harmonized them afterward.
Austria's national hymn was writ
ten by Hayden, who was prompted to
his task by hearing God Save the
King sung in England, while in New
Zealand the national anthem was COM
posed IN an effort to secure prize of
ten guineas offered by a newspaper.
BoLemia's national air forms a prom
inent part of Balfe's overture to "The
Bohemian Girl" and Nicaragua's state
hymn was written by member of the
government band. One singular fact
is developed, namely, that the smallest
republic in the world, that of San
Marino, has the longest national song.
1t consists of twelve verses, each with
a different time Washington 5 ar.

Origin of a Masterpiece.

"What bear!" exclaimed the young
lieutenant, as he joined a group con-
sisting of several officers and two
ladies, who were seated on deck, pro-
tected by a tent from the SUMS hot
rays.
"Of whom are you speaking, Mon
sieur de Poilly?"
"Of your engineer, Colonel"
The last-named person, the Comtc
de Maudaye, turned in the direction
indicated by his subordinate, and saw
in an armchair, at little distance, a
man with closed eyes, either asleep or
pretending to be so, for the purpose
of escaping the conversation of the
people round him.
Before going further, we ought to
explain to the reader that this little
scene occurred in 176S, on the fore
deck of fine vessel which was sailing
from the East to the Island of NADIA
gascar.
Gle is not my engineer" said Mon
sieur de Maudave, with smile, |'for
/ had no choice in the matter. Mon
sieur de Praslin, Minister to His Mai
esty, Louis Fifteenth, inflicted this
person upon me when he sent me to
take possession of the colony, with the
title of Commander for the King
You all know that we are going to
teach the Madagascans to love France;
we are going, with only fifty soldiers
and hardly any arms, not to conquer,
but to persuade"
The man who spoke so confidently
OF substituting persuasion for gun
shots was an acknowledged Prince
Charming, perfect type of the chiv-
alrous, gallant and brilliant officer.
He had asked and obtained permission
of government to go and subdue with
pacific measures the beautiful island
which was fast escaping from French
domination. So certain was he of
success that he was bringing with him
his charming young wife, as well as
her mother, who was the active and
intelligent widow of Governor of
the East Indies.
The presence of these ladies beguiled
the tedium of the voyage by arous-
ing the gallantry of the brilliant and
aristocratc officers, all of whom were
accustomed TO the manners of the
French court and who, in spite of the
difference in their ranks, now met in
genial intercourse, by virtue of their
equality of birth, and the prospect of
he dangers to be braved in common
during their hazardous expedition.
The young engineer alone kept en-
tirely aloof from this elegant and
genial circle, seeming TO 1--we = sepa-
rate existence within the narrow limi 5
of the ship. He was reserved and
silent even to sullenness, and vet
seemed possessed of the powers of
pleasing, being scarcely thirty years
old, with a handsome face and form,
though perhaps a trifle eifeminate. and
very elegant manners. The gracious
and charming Comtesse de Maudave
had exerted herself to tame the savage,
but in vain; he seemed to care for
nothing but mathematics and geome-
try, and was always absorbed in prob
lens and calculations.
On this occasion, the Colonel, pre-
voked by Monsieur de PoiIly's re-
marks, pronounced a very unfatter-
ing panegyric upon the young engi-
neer.
"He is fool of the worst kind, for
SO much conceit combined with alb
surd sensitiveness could never exist in
an original mind. He has bad dis

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

These are busy times for the capital
city. There's whole lot in sight for the
citizens to work in union for. 1t is no
time now for tagging behind.

their respects to these new officials. There
are no invitations but every one will be
cordially welcomed.
The tail end of the Colorado snow
storm switched down this way last night
and brought clouds to the city and snow
on the mountains-frst snow of the sea-
son. The weather bureaus official rec
ords show that this is the fifth cloudy
day Santa Fe has experienced in sixty
five days. Here's record for sunshine
that no section can beat.
The justices of the land court and
the members of the New Mexico Bar
association were in session all yes
terday afternoon considering amend
ments to the land court act, which
will be proposed to congress, and they
have been also similarly engaged all day

notifications Of the rules of practice are
also receiving careful attention at the
hands of committee appointed for that
purpose.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Racket With the Water Company-Inia-
tiative in the Sewerage s, stem
Incorporation Committee
Demands,

The city council met last night; absent
Councilmen Lucero, Mondragon and Del
gado. The usual monthly reports were
presented. The city attorney stated that
the Water & improvement company de-
clined to sign the amended contract re-
quring free water for irrigating the plaza,
street sprnkling and to be subject to a
forfeit in case of failure to supply water
in time of fire.
Thereupon the original resolution agree
ing to pay the Water company for
eighteen months the sum of 1884 per
month for water service from June I'd
last was reconsidered and repealed, aud
in lieu thereof the following was adopted ::
Resolved, That it be and hereby is re-
ferred to the city attorney and Council
man Knaebel to confer with the present
water company and agree with it on be-
half of the city to pay said company not
more than the rate of sos per annum for
each OF the twenty-five fire plugs, such
payment to include all cost to the city for
water to irrlgate the plaza and sprinkle
the streets of the city when water IN the
pipes 10 uOu lnPcidtiNely Iequlrtu lOr
other purposes, and to report at the next
meeting of this council.
The city attorney reported on the mat
ter of the demand of the original commit
tee on incorporation to be reimbursed for
the $1,34S.4 40 expended in behalf of
incorporation, and gave it as his opinion
that the city was legally bound to pay the
sum of $36O.90 in the premises. The
"itemized" bill was finally again referred
back with instructions that the commit
tees treasurer exhibit vouchers for all
amounts punched under the heading of
"incidentals.
The finance committee handed in
number of bills which were ap-
proved and ordered paid. They aggre-
gate the sum of STA, street lights calling
for $l15 OF the amount.
The question of securing new rooms for
the use of the city council was referred to
Aldermen Garcia and Knaebel.
L. T. Weber was granted privilege to
lay temporary sewer to connect with
the Water street sewer, until the new
sewerage system is finished, the work to
be done under direction of the city en-
gineer.
The city attorney was authorized to
open correspondence with p. o. Gaynor,
