Good PROSPECTS, for Statehood.

A bill for the admission of New Mexico
having been reported favorably from the
house committee on territories, there is a
good prospect that it will become law
before the end of the present congress. 1t
provides for submitting the state consti-
tuition to vote of the people in March,
1895, which is nearly year and a half
from this date. There is ample time,
therefore, for the consideration of the
question both by congress and the peo-
pie of the territory. It, furthermore, will
place the admission of the new state
after the fall election of 1894, which,
although not matter of much import
ance, may have some weight with the
people of the east.-Denver Republican.

A Bad state OF Affairs in BernalilI0
County.

The fact that the appropriation for
court expenses was practically exhausted
by criminal business at the present term
Of court, prevents the civil docket from
being called at all. This puts the Ber-
nalillo county civil docket another six
months behind, and it is considered by
those who understand that this docket is
fully three years behind. Albuquerque
is situated in the center of the territory,
on the main line of railroad travel, and
gets, in consequence, more than its share
of criminals to take care of. This natur-
ally puts the civil docket behind, and
there seems to be no way to help matters
until New Mexico becomes state.-Al-
buquerque Times.

Thackeray's Audience.

An anecdote of how Mr. Beckett, formerly
of the Musical Fund hail. made bet with
William Makepeace Thackeray of box OF
gloves used to be related by the worthy
actuary with great glee, but has never be
fore been in print. On the morning of one
of the days on which Thackeray was to de-
liver lecture in his series on the English
humorists, it so happened that the late
Judge Conrad addressed a large audience
on some public occasion precisely at noon.
Thackeray CHANGED to drive down on bust
ness and met the audience as they left the
hall, after listening to Conrad's eloquence.
$50, Mr.. Beckett" he said to the actuary,
1--WE may count upon slim house tonight"
"Why so, sir?" asked Beckett.
"Whyp exclaimed Thackeray. Simply
because you cannot get another audience
like this in this hall tonight. l wish had
postponed my lecture"
"Mr. Thackeray," said Beckett, ''you will
have tonight an audience twice as large as
this one."
"I'll bet you box of gloves on it," said
Thackeray. The night came, the audience
came. And Mr.. Becket's box of the finest
kid gloves to be had for money came next
morning. Inquirer.

PLAYING Cards.

The Chinese, who, according to their
histories, invented everything before
anybody else, claim the merit of having
first designed playing cards and devel-
oped the games arising out of them. The
Emperor Soun-Ho had many wives, who
naturally found time hanging heavily on
their hands, so the emperor devised
amusement for them by inventing cards
that's, if we are to put any belief in the
words Of the Chinese historians. There
were 30 cards in each of his packs-three
suits of nine each and three extra or SUI
perior cards. The Chinese cards were
oblong as ours are, while those of the
HindOos were round.
Surprising though it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that the queen in our
suits is comparatively modern innova.
ton. The picture cards were at first
entirely military-king, knight and
knave. The Italians were the first, it is
said, to give the lady place in the pack

A Southern Luncheon.

A southern lady said: II will tell you if
you like how our old black 'auntie' cooks
sweet potatoes, or 'yams,' as she calls them
at home. 1t is the best way by long odds
of preparing them for the table. although
perhaps you will think it rather extrava-
CANT, as it takes great deal of butter
After the potatoes have been thoroughly
boiled take off the skins and cut them
lengthwise in quarters, or more pieces if the
potatoes are large. Then in baking pan
dissolve large piece of butter with half a
cupful of brown sugar Lay the potatoes
in the pan and cook them for about Is min
utes. basting them every now and then
with the butter and sugar and turning
them over several times. Serve them with
really good corned beef mince and sweet
corn on the cob, and you have southern
luncheon that is fit for a king."-New York

Turkey Press Censorship.

The first press copy of newspaper in
Turkey has to be read by an agent of the
censor. This is done by visiting the news
paper Office at fixed hour. with as much
promptitude as is convenient to the visiting
official. Should there be found news item
or comment in the paper that might prove
displeasing to the authorities, it is prompt
ly marked off," The forms have to be
taken out and the Objectionable matter re-
moved. Quite lately an Armenian pub
Usher, seeing that two columns of reading
matter were killed" by the agent, left the
space blank, and so issued his paper. The
authorities would not have this, as they
thought such action on the part of the pub
Usher reflected too much upon their con-
duct, and publishers are now required to
fill up marked off, space with other mat
ter, even if it necessitates making up the
whole paper over again.-Printers' Ink.

But One Snuff Taking Senator.

Many years ago, when the now veneer
able Captain Bassett of the senate was a
youth, he was directed to place snuff
box in each of the small recesses of the
rear wall of the chamber to the right
and left of the vice president and to
keep them filled for the Clays, Websters
and other senators of the old school who
Were '-.bitual snuff takers The snuff
boxes remain as reminder of the times
and habits of senators who made his
tory. But they are seldom filled, as Mr..
George of Mississippi is the only senator
who uses snuff. Free Press.

Great Memories.

Great men are usually said to have great
memories, but it does not follow that all
who have great memories are great men.
An idiot in Ohio was a great curiosity
many years ago. He knew the whole Bible
by heart from beginning to end, and if any
verse was read or repeated to him he could
tell exactly in what book and chapter it
was to be found and its verse number in
the chapter. He was considered a great
marvel in this particular, but in every
other he was mental imbecile, and could
not be trusted even to feed himsel-Chicago
