ENGLISH Field Sports.

The matter of wire fencing and the
kindred difficulty of dealing with i'm
mense fields of horsemen are so often
thrashed- out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters Of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put it down again IN the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow to be overcome,
either by oeaging to advertise meets or
by making it understood. Chow, perhaps,
1t is not very easy TO say that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, while it Is COM
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors. --.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
is entirely So If 1t was not for the ten
der care which, in England at any rate,
is taken of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coyerts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his COM
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In district which is suita-
BILE in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, it is always exceedingly
scarce.-Macmillan's Magazine.

Human Curiosity.

The inventors of the penny in the slot
machines make their profit out of hu-
man curiosity, and their experience has
shown that very comfortable revenue
can be derived from that source. Prof.
ably few people have any idea Of the
number Of men, women and Children
who daily buy chewing gum or other
trlties from machines, or learn their
weight by stepping upon a little plat
form and putting cent where it viii do
the most good. La o. down town store
much frequented by those waiting for

which has record of earning $50 in a

An interesting Diversion Tor Whole
Roouf,,l Of Clever People.
Among the most acceptable games for
small companies is the game of Twenty
Questions" great favorite with the
English. al ,hough not widely known
here.
The requisites for Twenty Questions"
are, first, two rooms, that the company
may be divided into two sides. The di-
vision of the guests may be done by their
selecting one of two colors in bells, balls
or ribbons, or by the choosing Of sides
after the old fashioned spelling school
style. The hostess must see to it that
there be an even division of the objects
and exactly the same number as there
are guests, in order to prevent the leav-
ing out Of friend or other awkward
mistakes. Two leaders or spokesman
should be chosen, the host being natu-
rally one of them, and it will also save
further mishaps if the second leader be
previously seSected and given the idea OF
the game.
The sides being selected either by
drawing of ribbons or by choice OF the
leaders, method which has its awk-
ward side where there are people sensi-
tive to being the last chosen in a COM
pany-each side retires to its own room
and selects an object whichits opponents
are to discover by the asking OF 70 ques-
lions, or as many less than that number
as may be- A scribe is chosen for each
tide to keep record of the questions and
and answers by numbers, that no con-
fusion may arise from misunderstood
questions or replies. To this end each
scribe should keep tally on two sheets OF
paper-the questions of his own side
with the respective answers on one, and
the opponents questions and the replies
of his own side on the other.
The object selected may be inanimate,
animate, ancient, modern or historical,
may exist in fact or fiction, the only
qualification being that it shall be suf-
ficiently well known so that a majority
of the players on the other side may be
supposed to have seen or read about it.
A spirit of fairness should of course be
shown in the selection of objects, and in
each case the answers should be honest
and not hairsplitting, although giving as
little information as possible. Such OBJ
iects as Ben Franklin's loaf of bread,
which he carried under his arm as he

An Ocean Mystery.

One Of the saddest of ocean mysteries
was the fate of the 100 souls who sailed
from Philadelphia on Dec. /, 1889, in the
ironclad Atlanta, or Triumfo, as shewas

by the government of Hayti, and she
sailed for Port au Prince. She had two

Another Fact About the Gold Re-
serve.
WASHINGTON, April ga fact not
generally known in connection with the
gold reserve is brought out by Repre-
sentative o. NJ Hall, of the Third Min
nesota district. "As matter Of fact, {"
says Mr.. Hall, "there is not an actual
800, O00, 900 reserve fund in the treasury
but only about S54,000,O0O. The re-
demption law of 1875 author
lied the sale of bonds for
the purpose Of redeeming the
greenbacks. Under that law the gov
eminent sold S96,0O0 600 Of bonds. It
has used in round nun bers $40, 900, 900
of this fund in redeeIning greenbacks,
leaving in the treasury So, 900, 900 of
the proceeds of the sale of these bonds,
which by law is specifically set aside for
the purpose of redeeming greenbacks
only. -..-.-. -...-.a
Has a Right to Use 1t.
1T seems to me that the government
has the unquestioned right to use all of
the SAC, 600 900 in round numbers, sur
plus over the redemption fund set aside
for the bonds for the purpose of re-
deeming the treasury notes issued
for the purchase of silver, but I do
not see how the $54,000,000 can be
applied to that purpose. The
redemption act of 1875 still leaves with
the secretary of the treasury the power
to issue bonds for the purpose of re-
deeming the greenbacks, but neither
that law nor any other of which I am
connizant gives him any authority to
issue bonds for the purpose of redeem
ing the treasury notes

dibHgncrQuc Democrat
Expressions of public opinion
all over the Territory during the
late campaign, and from represen-
tatiye men of both political parties
left no room for doubt as to the
fact that one Of the first acts the
people expected of the legislature
was to abolish the odious fec sys-
TEN, and the demand for such
action is coming up with such
unanimity and such emphasis,
from every section Of the Territory
that it is not possible for our rep
resentatives at Santa Fe to be
ignorant Of the wishes Of the peo-
pie in regard to this matter.
A strong lobby has been organ
lied at the capital, composed of
those who are the b%enefciaries of
the system of public robbery
known as the "fee system" and
they have given it out that they
do not propose to permit the
present legislature to interfere
with their prerogative in this
matter, and clam to be able to
defeat any a that may be
introduced for the purpose of
making any change in the present
system. That is, when we trans
late it into plain English, they
boast that they have money enough
which they have taken from the
pockets Of the people to corrupt
the representatives Of the people,
and thus defeat any attempt that
may be made to reform the pres
ent system of public robbery.
We hope they may not succeed.
1t is well known that they have
provided for a very formidable
"slush fund.-" but our confidence
in the gentlemen composing the
present Legislature cause us to
believe that the scheme will prove
a failure. The fee system should
go. The people demand it, and
we believe their demand will be
respected by the Legislature.

COUNTY DIVISION.

News comes from Deming and
Santa Fe that there is Il determin-
ed effort being made to divide this
County. A combination has been
made in the Legislature and the
citizens of Deming and other pre-
cincts in the Southern part of this
county are signing petitions to the
Legislature praying for division.
Money is being raised to carry the
bill through the Legislature and
Deming people are confident Of
success.
In view of the fact that the coun.
ty is now grooming under heavy
taxntion it does not seem to us tc
be good policy to provide for a still
heavier rate of taxation by crea-
ting new county and having tC
pay the salaries of twosets of coun-
ty officers in the same territory
which now gets along very vel
with one. IL the necessity fol
division could be argued on the
ground that the county seat is not
easily accessible to the people OF
Deming, rs j nthe case Of the coun.
ty seat Of Socorro county being
difficult of access to the residents
of Silver Creek aud the surround.
ing country, there would be some
reason for mourning the additional.
expense for the sake Of conven.
fence, but the principal town in the
proposed new county is only As
miles from the county seat and i
is easily accessible by rail.
The proposed division will leave
about fye-sixths of the taxabl,
railroad property now in this couu.
ty in the proposed new county anC
will leave Grant County with les.
than half the territory which i
now contains.
A division Of the county would
not only bring about a much high.
er rate OF taxation which the tax.
payers can not well afford to bear
at this time, but the division on the
lines proposed would be manifesto
unjust 10 the residents Of this enc
of the county because of the greater
valuation of railroad property
which would be taken in by tho
new county. Besides, this city
now has a large debt which was
incurred on account Of the build
ing Of the Silver City, Deming and
Pacific Railroad, from which this
place, as q county seat, would de.
rive but little benefit il the equity
were to be divided, The valuation
Of the property Of the Southern
Pacific company in this county is
about half a million dollars and all
of this property would be in the
new county. Tho road was built
without local assistance and the
annual taxes Of this company alone
are about $4,000, or an amount
more han sufficient TO pay the
interest ON all Of the bonded in
debtedness Of the county.
There are many other objections
TO a division Of the county aud
there is every reason 10 believe that
taxpayers, rather than voluntarily
increase the rate Of taxation, will
lend their influence in opposing the
measure.

NFws comes from Santa Fe that
there is a combination in the leg
