One ruddy and red as blood.
And one as clear aS the crystal flood.
Said the glass OF wine to the paler brother.
Let us tell the tales of the past to each other,
| can tell OF banquet and Tevel and mrth
And the proudest and grandeSt souls On earth.
Fell under my touch, as though strucK 10y blight
Where was king, for ruled in might
From the heads OF kings have torn the crown.
From the highest OF fame l have hurled them
down
l have blasted many an honored name,
/ have taken virtue and given shame.
| have tempted the youth with il sip, a taste,
That has made his future a barren waste,
Far greater than king am |,
Or than any army beneath the sky,
have made the arm OF the driver iail,
Aud sent the train from an iron rail;
l have made good ships 20 down at sea,
And shrekS OF the lost were sweet to me,
For they said, Behold how great you be,
Fame, strength, wealth. genius, before you fall,
For your might and power over all
Ho no pale brother, 'lauS Shed the wine,
Can you boast of deeds great mime
Said the water Il cannot boast
Of a king dethroned or a murdered host,
But can tell oi IL heart, once sad
BY my crystal drops made, light and glad
OF thirSts I've quenched, OF browS I've laved,
OF hands have cooled and souls have saved;
! have leaped through the valley, dashed down
the mountain,
Flowed in the river and played in the fountain,
Slept in the sunshine and dropped from the sky.
And everywhere gladdenei the landscape and
eye;
l have eased the hot iOreheai / of fever and pain
| have made the parched meadows grow fertile
with grain:
l can tell OF the powerful wheel OF the mill
That ground out flour and turned mt my will;
can tell of manhood dehased by you
That lifted up and crowned anew:
l cheer. help, strengthen and aid,
! gladden. the heart of man and maid.
/ set the chain-wine captive free,
And all are better for knowing me-.
These are the tales they told each other
The glass of wine and its paler brother
As they sat together, filled to the brim,
On the rich mans table rim to rim.

THE REAL M0THER-IN-LAW.

Who was it taught my vile to bake
A loaf of bread or fancy cake.
And appetizing dishes make?
My mother-in-law.
Who was it, when my wife was i'll,
Bestowed upon her care and skill,
And saved to me a nurses bill?
My mother-in-law.
Who then my little ones prepared
Each morn for school, who for them cared
And all their little SORROWS shared?
My mothef-in-law.
Who was 1t. when their prayers were said
So Snugly tucked them into bed,
And, till they slept, beside them stayed ,
My mother-in-Iaw.
Who of my clothing then took care,
Who overlooked my underwear,
And kept each garment in repair?
My mOther-in-law.
Who oft to me her aid has lent
To buy the coal and pay the rent:
Who'd gladly see me President?
My mother-in-law.
A loving grandmother is she,
A generous friend she's been to me.
Forever honored let Der ba,

RICH VALLEY LANDS.
Col. Marmon Chats of Water and Agri
culture in Southwestern New
Mexico.

Col. w. G. Marmon, deputy U. S. sur
veyor, who is in the city on visit, has
just completed a three months task in
southwestern New Mexico. He talks
entertaining'y about that region. In south
western Grant county is the ne,Cienega
valley, where eight or ten settlers are
making big success OF agriculture and
stock raising. Water in abundance is
found at from eight to fifteen feet down
and crops Of all sorts, including all varie-
ties Of fruit, are grown without irrigation.
The nearest rail point is Duncan, Arizona,
thirty-fve miles distant. About onehalf
of this township is under cultivation. The
mines northwest and south of Carlisle are
also very prosperous. ln the ella
valley there are many splendid farms
and a thrifty class Of people are locat-
ing there. In the Lordsburg region,
toward the south, the prairie lands are
dotted with fat cattle; water here is had
by sinking wells twenty to sixty feet
deep. In the San Simon valley the water
actually rolls out of the ground, and some
wells are only four feet in depth. While
very little rain falls in this region, yet
the country seems well adapted to agri-
culture.
What is needed is survey of these val
ley lands. It is difficult to secure petit
tions for such surveys, as the cattle men
are in possession of the range, but many
settlers are looking that way and the gov
ernment ought at least to order the rich
valleys surveyed without delay.

S. P. Conger has adjusted the difficult

There are fifteen school districts in
Socorro county that would vote bonds

their districts mapped and outlined, 80 as
to come under the law of 1891. The peo-
pie in these districts are finding fault
because no county surveyor has been ap-
pointed. .-Socorro Chieftain.
A railroad through New Mexico from
north to south would give Pueblo a
chance to do some lively business. But
railroads do not grow and all must put

The Border FraCas.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-The Plea
yune's Laredo, Texas, special says: City
Marshal Yglesias, who is deputy United
States marshal, accompanied Captain
Harde and company on Its scouting up
the river, returned last night. He reports
that Captain Hardie was pressing close on
the heels of 100 of Garza's men who were
driven back to this side by the Mexican
troops last Wednesday. The marauders
separated into several branches and took
to the brush. Captain Yplesias states
that the reason why CARA did not show
upin person during his last movement
was that he was 30 hard pressed IN max
ing his escape from Mexico on the occa-
sion of his first raid, that an old wound
became sore again, compelling him to

Going Back on Free Silver.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-There is going
to be a whole lot of trouble about silver in
the house, and those who count upon
favorable legislation simply because the
house is Democratic and because the coin
age committee is supposedly in favor oI
free coinage are liable to find that the
near approach of a presidential election is
considered of more consequence than
either party pledges or personal prefer
ence. Even Chairman Bland has grown
very conservative of late.
The Washington Star prints long arti-
Gle from the pen of writer close to Crisp,
which intimates that the coinage commit
tee will be controlled in the matter by the
house caucus, and says further that on
the silver question reservation and the
desire to hold New York and gain New
England will have vast influence upon
the Democratic majority. This is not say
ing that Il bill will not pass, but simply
that it's passage is not certain and that
there is going to be a bigger fight over it
than free silver men would like, with a
decided possibility of defeat.

MINERS KILLED.

BY an accident that occurred in
the Anaconda shaft at Butte, Mon
tana, on the 4,h inst, nine miners
were instantly dashed into eternity
and several others seriously injured
Twenty men were on the double
deck cage ascending the shaft to the
surface. few minutes before mid
night, to 90 TO supper. The upper
deck of the cage was SO crowded
that all could not hold on, and
when between the 800 and 100 foot
levels one fell out and his body was
damned between the floor of the
lower cage and the wall plate, turn
ing the cage TO an angle and hurl-
ing eight men to the bottom, six
hundred feet. The engineer noticed
that something was wrong and
promptly stopped the engine, but
receiving no signal soon raised it to
the surface, when the awful eatas-
trophe became known. Ten men
got off from the upper cage unin-
jured, but two were lying uncon-
scious on the lower deck, one of
whom has since died. The killed
were: JAS. 0'Donnell. c. ~ Evans,
John Richie, James G. Sullivan,
Patrick Mulligan, NJ. Newer, JAS.
Roche, w. NJ. Martha. The scene
at the bottom of the shaft was
frightful. A 20-foot sump below the
l000-fo foot level, where the bodies fell,
held 10 feet of water, which was
dyed blood-red color and filled
with arms, legs and a mass Of mu-
tilated humanity, which rendered it
difficult to identify the bodies. IT,
fact, of the eight bodies recovered
only one could be recognized. Only
short time ago the mines at Butte
started up after long suspension
and this was the fourth accident
since. The men who escaped car
not account for the accident, but il
is said after O'Donnell fell off ana
( was caught between the cage and
the shaft, that a guide broke, which
caught in the timbcrs and tipped
the lower deck, Most OF the men
killed were strangers. and only tive
were married. All the Anaconda
company's mines closed down until
after the funeral.
