Interesting Historical Parallel.


There is an interesting parallel-the
only one in the history of the country
in the approaching retirement of Presi-
dent Harrison and the experience of
his grandfather.
William FL. Harrison, like his grand
son BENJAMIN, was twice candidate
for President, and his opponent in
each election was the same man, Martin
Van Buren,, as Grover Cleveland was
Of Benjamin Harrison.
In the election of 1886 Van Buren, re-
ceived 10 of the electoral votes cast and
Harrison but 73. In 1910 Harrison re-
celved 234 Of the votes and Van Buren,
but go.
In the election of 1883 Benjamin Har-
rison received 233 Of the electoral votes
and Grover Cleveland but 1853, and in
the election Of 1892 Cleveland will re-
verse the result, receiving 276 of the
votes, against IA for Harrison.

STOLE A GRAVE.
How Kansas Regiment Boat the Second
Wisconsin, Cavalry.

How II Kansas Regiment Boat the Second
Wisconsin, Cavalry.
In the book 1.-The Story of a Cavalry
Regiment" by William Forse Scott,
late adjutant of the Fourth Iowa Veteran
Volunteers, just published by e. ?.
Putnam Sons, the following interesting
incident is narrated:
"Two or three of the Kansas regi
ments, among them the Fifth, were in
camp at Helena, some times brigaded
with the Fourth Iowa. At the same
time the Second Wisconsin Cavalry was
there fine soldlerly, highly respect
able command, one Of the Second
Wisconsin died, and his comrades with
proper decOrum prepared for regular
military funeral. Some went out and
dug the grave, and returned to camp be-
fore the funeral procession moved. 1t
happened that the same day the Fifth
Kansas also had on hand the body of a
departed patriot. Not being given to
idle ceremonies, they simple carried it
off to the burying-ground, intending to
dig the grave and dispatch the bust
ness without unnecessary expense
of time. The Wisconsin party had not
yet arrived. and the kansans found
grave ready and waiting for tenant.
What was the use of digging another?
The defunct Jay hawker' would not care
who prepared his home They
dropped him in, quickly filled in the
earth, and went back to their camp or
their horse-racng. Presently came the
mournfu column of the Wisconsins,
marching as funeral guard of honor,
with solemn tread and waiIing dirge.
their fallen comrade borne at their
head. The diggers led them to the spot
where they had left an open grave.
The rest may be imagined. But the
Second Wisconsin had had experience;
they recognized the genius of the Fifth
Kansas. Only the 'Jayhawkers' could
steal grave"

Never Despair.

"This battle is lost" said Desaix to
Bonaparte at Marengo, "but there is yet
time to win another!"
With the aid of Desaix, the conquerer
of kings, never stopping to brood over
his misfortune, won that suspicious vic
tory 500 after blazoned on the banners
of his guards. Repentance is a blessed
state of mind, but in and of itself it
never saved the day. Despair over de-
feat may be perfectly natural, but ithas
never won another victory. A consci-
entious but erring lady said the other
day that she spent much timein sorrow
ing over past mistakes, and thus she
committed the biggest mistake of all.
"Never despair." said Sir Walter
Scott, sitting down, an aged cripple, to
write off a debt Of s~tupendous size, nor
resting until he had accomplished his
purpose.
"Never despair" muttered that gal
liant Frenchman, Bernard Palsy, as he
hurled his last stick of furniture into the
furnace containing the first glazed porce-
lain ever made in modern years. Hence
never despair.-New York Ledger.

Yuletide Song.

Heigho, the Winter! The bluff old fellow,
In meadow and field he roars amain.
The maple that late was deck'd in yellow
Has DOTTED its leaves in the gusty lane.
Heigho, sweetheart! | will find thy tippet,
Thy dainty hood for thy golden head,
And out in the frosty air We'll trip it
And over the stubble gayly tread.
Heigho, the Winterl He brings the holly,
The frolic of Yule's enchanted tree,
And the mistletoe-now, by my folly,
There will be a kiss for thee and mel
Heigho, sweetheart! With a Hey down
derry"
Well sack the wood of its treasures now.
But, oh, there's never a bramble berry
Is half so red as thy lip, / VOW.

THE SONGS OF THE WIND.

How sings the wind in the splendid day
When the world Is wild with the wealth o,
May7
The world is thrilling with light and love;
There vas never a cloud in the heavens
above;
Never a mateless and moaning dove,
Never q grave for a rose to hide.
And never a rose that died!'
How sings the wind in the hopeless night
When .he lone, long winters are cold and
white?
There are rainbows back of the storms to be,
Back Of the storms and their mystery;
But oh for the ships that are lost at sea!
And oh. for the love in the lonesome lands,
Far o the clasp Of the drowning hands!''
So the wind singeth. Its God DEGREES
The wine hould sing such songs as these;
Should laugh in the sunlight's silver waves
And toss the green on the worlds sad graves
But why, in the night. should it sing to me
OF the chips. the ships that are lost at sea?

The Mule Meant Well.

An ex-street car mule in Los Angeles,
from force Of habit, had wandered be
tween the rails. The electric car came
along, and the mule imagined he was at
the old business. The motorman put Oh
a little extra speed, but the mule main
tanned the regulation distance between
himself and the Car. Faster and faster
went the car, SO did the mule. He had
no thought of Sinking, to the huge de-
light of the spectators and motorman.-

The Christmas Box.

The origin of the term Christmas
box" as applied to donations of Christ
mas spending money, is uncertain,
though antiquarians generally seem to
think that it was derived from the Gus
tom of placing money for masses to be
said or sung on Christmas day-there-
fore "Christ masses"-in a box, which
from this use was called a Christ mass
box, a term gradually corrupted to
Christmas box and finally applied to all
money given as a Christmas gratuity.

Queer S~alutations.

The Abyssinians drop on their knees
and kiss the earth when they meet. Iii
saluting a woman the Mandinkas take
her hand, put it to their nose and smell
it twice. The Egyptians stretch out one
hand, then lay it on their breast and
bow the head. Among the less civilized
tribes of the old world, say, the Kal-
mucks and in Polynesia, the custom of
rubbing noses is pretty general. Per
haps the most extraordinary form Of
salutation is to be found in Tibet, where
the natives put out their tongues, gnash
their teeth and scratch their ears.-Lan-

A RACE COURSE.
Santa Fe Peculiarly Located to Make
it a Success-SOme Suggestions
to Those Most Inter-
ested. -

To the Editor ofthe New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Sept. Isl note with no
little personal Qualification, and doubtless
there are many citizens feeling likewise,
the suggestion made in your columns
relative to the establishment of a race
track for this city.
AS simple matter of business, for the
profits involved, not alone to horsemen
but because of The stimulus to local trade
directly and indirectly, and the influence
it would have in attracting visitors here
and keeping money in circulation, it ap-
pears to me that this suggestion should
be followed up by prompt action. The
local horsemen, members of the Gun club
and business men in general, it seems to
me, could we'll afford to get together now
and make up their minds to establish a
first-class track this fall with view to
holding race meetings next spring and
fall. The two dozen or SO bicycle riders
in the city would also no doubt cooperate
with such a movement with view to
Jointly using the track for quarterly
wheel contests.
Out on the Knaebel mesa, as you sug-
gest, is certainly the spot for such a
track. From any standpoint the place is
an inviting one, and am informed that
the land can be leased on exceptionally
reasonable terms. Here the contour Of
tho ground is such as to permit of the
establishment of race course of almost
any desired dimensions, either circular,
or, kite shaped, if you please.
Also it may be noted in this connec-
ton that Santa Fe is peculiarly we'll To-
Gated for making success out of this
proposition. With proper management
and the hanging up of fair purses, good
horses can be induced to come here from
Albuquerque, Las Vegas. Cerrillos, Gal
isteo, the Pecos region, Taos and Ala
mosa. The latter point holds two race
meetings year and they have been a
success for years. A score or moro of
good horses are TO be found in that town
and being only 40 miles from Santa Fs
many of these could certainly DO induced
to come here to take part in our race
meetings. Let tho subject be canvassed
by local business men.

Nearly three inches of rain thus far
this month.
Remember the militiamen's social hop
at Gray's hall for Saturday night.
The Berger-Bishop affair remains in

have not yet been withdrawn.
Chas. Neustadt g. Co., have decided not
to vacato their quarters in tho Catron
block and remove to the Lamy store
rooms lately occupied by Mondragon.
Several bridges and street culverts were
loosened and rendered dangerous by the
rain last night. The upper Palace ovenuc
bridge over arroyo de SAILS needs imme-
diate attention.
The rain storm seems to have covered
all northern New Mexico. For the stock
men it will be worth much as it insures
abundant range grass throughout the
winter.
There will probably be no mail from
Albuquerque and southern territorial
points for two days, but mail facilities
in New Mexico are generally SO bad that
most people have become accustomed to
such things.

A GREAT STORM.
Nearly Two and a Half Inches Of
Rainfall-EXtensive WashOuts
on Both Railroads.

The heaviest rain storm but one that
has visited this section in years has pre-
vailed for the last twentyfour hours, and
no inconsiderable damage has resulted,
particularly to the railroads. Up to noon
the weather bureaus gauge shows rain
fall since noon yesterday of two and forty
hundredth inches, or bringing the total
for the month up to 1.54 inches greater
than the normal rainfall for September
as fixed by twenty years observation.
A steady down pour kept up nearly all
night, and south and west of the city
the amount of water that fell is doubtless
extraordinarily heavy.
On the A., 4. a. S. +. line between
Lamy junction and Albuquerque great
damage was done the track. At Rogers
bend near Waldo station, is the worst
break, some 700 feet of track having
gone out. Three west-bound passen-
ger trains ~were tied up at Lamy
junction during the night. At O'Clock
this morning it was ascertained that the
breaks in the track south of that point
were so serious as to make it ex-
tremely doubtful if, trains could
be moved short of two or three days. Ac-
cordingly the three trains were turned
back and the passengers and mail for
Pacific coast points will be sent west and
south from Trinidad via Pueblo and
Ogden and via Fort Worth and Eel Paso.
There are also small breaks in the road
between Lamy and Cerrillos. Construc-
ton trains are working with large forces
b 9th from the north and south between
Lamy and Albuquerque.
On the Santa Fe Southern road there is
also another bad washout about half way
between this city and Espanola, which it
will require at least three days to repair.
Supt Helm sent out q large forco of men
to-day to attend to this work and may be
able to get through trains over the line
by Saturday next.
