NEW MEXICO VS.. TIE EAST.

A FEW days ago the whole
United States was electrified by
the abduction of little two year
old boy, son of a banker at Kan

dollars, being refused he dropped
a dynamite bomb which exploded
killing four persons, wounding
Russell Sage and several other
people and completely wreeking
the second floor of No. II. Broad
way, N. Y. This is eastern civili-
cation, it comes of that higher
plane on which the people of
New Mexico have not entered, and
on which they never will enier.
In the east it is a crime for a man
to accumulate money; to use his
brains and be successful in busi-
ness. In New Mexico it is Just
the reverse. To be sure, men are
killed OCT here,-there are shoot
ing scrapes and murders, but
they are of the kind that are
found the world over, we're started
by Cain when he killed Abel,
and will continue so long as man
exists. There is a refinement
of crime in these abductions and
murders in the east, that's foreign
to New Mexico and that can only
come from higher plane of civ
ilization, and one the good peo-
pie of dear old New Mexico are
unacquainted with.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

There is in Macon living ossifed
man. His name is G. D. Hicks. He
was "a years old last New Years day.
He was fireman en- a railroad termin-
sting at Racine, Wis. On that day
ragged one Of the fercest snow storms
ever known in that section, aud in it
were storm bound the engine and train
on which Mr.. Hicks was employed.
His engineer was thrown from the
engine and lost in the blizzsrd.A Mr..
Hicks was so exhausted from
overwork and loss of sleep that for
hours he slept standing at his
post, with his clothes frozen
to him. When released he went to
a hOtel.in Beliot. Wis, and before
retiring directed that his clothes be
dried, which request was neglected,
compelling him in the morning to put
them on damp. For thirty7six hours
following he worked with the therr
mometer below zero.
When he returned to his home in
Racine, he was attacked by violent
cold; over two month afterward he
recovered sufficiently to do so light
work in the compauy's shops, Twelve
years ago last April he was taken
with violent pains, which were soon
followed by the gradual ossifcation of
all his limbs and then hisbody.
The hsrdships he had endured
had frozen and destroyed the marrow
in all his bones excepting his head.
For eleven years he has lain in his
bed, helpless and motion'ess.
His vital organs are comparatively
healthy, but his body and limbs are
absolutely dead. he can slightly
move his left arm. His jaws became
set, and teeth had to be extracted,
in order to have an aperture through
which he could be fed. His eyes
sight gave out with his other func-
tiOns, but he can still distinguish light
from darkness. His appetite is good
and no one thinks more of taking
good care of his health and wishes
more to avoid the inevitable grave
than does Mr.. Hicks.
He is good conversationalist, and
is pleased tn talk with people who
visit him.-Mac0n News.

1t is pleasant ride from Albany
to RichlaLd. The distance is forty
eight miles and the Columbus South
ern makes it in one and one-half
hours.
The country through which the
road passes IS splendid. No other
AZ miles in the state can compare to
it. The lands are level, verv fer
tile, and for the most part oak and
hickory. The most inviting part of
the road, so far rs the lands are c0n-
cerned, is from Parrott to Weston,
between Dawson and Rickland.
Speaking of Weston, recalls a re-
mark of old Farmer Simmons, who
resides one>haif mile fro m Weston.
Said he: Thirty years ago, when |
settled here, l thought it hard to be
forced to haul cotton to Macon.
When the Southwestern road was
completed, it was hard to haul it 20
miles to Dawson. When the S. A.
NJ Road was built, felt it hard to
have to haul nine miles to R:chland.

BLACK MILK AND BUTTER.

Rupert Hansborough, leather deal

of natural curiosity in the shape
of a COW which gives black milk. She
is on Mr.. Hansborough's farm, sit

can be seen at any time grazing in
his pasture, and at milking time her
singular yield will be shown anyone
desiring to behold it. Ofmixed breed,

Ayrshire, she was caIved on the farm

still gives an abundant of natural
tinted milk.
Mollie. as she is called, is pretty
little COW, with nothing unusual in
her appearance, and has borne al
ready five young, which have thriven
we'll on her black milk. It produces
a fair amount of cream, which is a
trife lighter in color, aud which,
when churned, makes butter resem-
bling cold tar, but as paiatable as

borough says that at first they were
afraid to drink or use the milk in any
way, but, overcoming their prejuice,
now enjoy it as any other.
He has received numbers of offers
for her, both flom the proprietors of
museums and. stoekmen, but declined
them from hopes tina. she will yet
transmit her popularity to some OF
her progeny. Chemists in Richmond
and Washington have analysed the
milk, both fresh and made into butt

nothing to account for its sable color,
but attribute it to some unique
