Apache County Sheep Owners.

que, N. M.-Dear Sir: I have the honor to direct myself to you for for the first time, to show the esteem which the sheep owners of this county (at least the Americans and 1 many of the Mexicans too) have for the working classes of New Mexico. AS it was said in convention they had "of the poor or those who were dying of hunger"
 Idirect myself to you for the pur- pose ot having this placed in your very intelligent and creditable pa per, for the government and knowl- I edge of our compatriots, and of all ! those who are "oblIged to work ow- ing to the critical situation through which they are passing" as it is said by the American sheep owners of this country.
 The 25th of June, all the sheep owners, Americans and various Mexicans, held a convention at Hol- brook, Arizona, to lower the sheep herder's wages from $30, formerly paid, to s20 per month. The req son, they say, is the low price paid fer wool. And how do they know if the sheep herders of this place will continue to herd their sheep? They proposed to send for one or two carloads of Mexicans, who were starving in New Mexico, and who would be glad if any one would employ them, if only for their meals, and that they lthe sheep owners could lower the wages to $lO ard SIP, the same as in New Mexico, where they receive no subsistence, "only some cornmeal, and some cof- fee and sugar." but they do not want to do that here, as they have pity on them. They also said that ] the Scott Bros, the principal sheep owners of this place, and the Can delarias of Concho, Arizona. were offered sheep herders at $15,00 per month, all that they wanted.
 An American sheep owner in com pany with Mir, J. B. Porter of this county, named R. c. Marrow, said that Mir. Pedro Montana, advised him not to pay more than $15 per month, and not to give the sheep herders much coffee that the Mex ican sheep herders were not accus- toned to that, and that they did not work we'll when we'll treated.
 The Americans also resolved to work for the purpose of driving Mexican eheep owners from this country, through the excuse that they never dip their sheep, the least they do is to make them pay the costs. dipping them. And especial ly those coming from New Mexico, they fine all they can.
 This is what our cousins procure for the Mexicans, and the esteem that they give us, after getting a poor mans work almost for noth- ing. This is the credit which our compatriots, sheep owners of this country, have given to the working classes of New Mexico, among the Americans who, after following the Mexican sheep owners advise, will administer to them some of the same medicine.
 If only all the Mexican sheep herders, could be informed of the business which is being transacted, that is, wanting to sell them like dog herders. The sheep herders should refuse to herd the sheep, and then the sheep owners would know the benefit they receive from paying their herders $30 per month.
 I am informed that meeting IS being formed here of sheep herders to protect their wages. and not work

The foregoing letter shows the appreciation that the sheep owners of Arizona have for herders from New Mexico, asserting that here, car loads of herders can be had for the low price of $10 per month, without food. This is not true, ever with great necessity the needy class of New Mexico, will not be obliged to present their work to our cousins or outsiders like said Pedro Mon tano.
 Of that gentlemanitis is not strange, he is against his own nation, when we are we'll satisfied he does not es- teem it, on the contrary he is an imitator of our cousins, which we can prove by the act which took place in Graham county, Arizona.
 When he had his sheep near San Carlos, our readers will remember that party of COW boys cowardly murdered his sheep herders. The Texans, after being taken prisoners, were promptly acquitted for sum of. money, which Don Pedro re- ceived to allow the matter to rest in profound silence.
 Then nothing is strange, if he says his race is this and that, with out seeing himself.
 We protest against the act to mo- nopolize the work of the poor, and advise the members of the new so- ciety to work with energy that they may not be robbed of their work by monopolists and adventurers.

A Picture of Bismarck.

A tall, burly man swings around the cor
ner of the Friedrich strasse, his loud Hal
hap ringing out above the noise Of the
street as he strides down the Linden. The
crowd makes way for him when it will for
few others, and in truth he is the stamp Of
man to drive a path for himself even
through an obstructive crowd.
His step Is firm and massive, his shout
ders are broad and square; the undress cui-
rassier cap sets off well the strong face
with the heavy snow white mustache and
the terrible underjaw, massive yet not
feshy, full, but not exuberant, which one
never looks at without thinking how sym
bolic it is of the blood and iron" dogma
which the stern, but naughty man, once
so frankly enunciated.
When last had seen Bismarck he was
sitting on his big horse under the statue of
Strasbourg, in the Place de la Concorde,
on the day the German troops marched into
Paris, gloweTing down scornfully from
under the peak Of his metal helmet on a
group Of Frenchmen who had identified
him and were shrinking as they spat hiss
lngs up at him.-Archibald Forbes In

The poets of the mountains are not yet

local singers. At first view it would
seem very remarkable that amid the
glorious scenery Of the Rocky noun
tains the poets should treat of men
rather than nature, yet it is fact that
to the poetesses rather than to the poets
do we owe the finest touches on natures
sublimity.
Miss Sarah Carmichael Cater Mrs.
williamson, the Salt Lake poetess,
wrote of the mountains and the great
salt sea near her home in lines of wild
and wonderful beauty, as in her poem
called 1.-The Origin of Gold" she told
how

The poem then tells how he took the

tray the majesty of mountain scenes,

their contemporaries only touch upon
nature incidentally; man and his local
eccentricities is their favorite theme. A
new poet, however, has risen-Cy War
man, of Denver-and he is evidently
struggling to express somewhat Of the
emotions reused in him by Colorado's
sublime views His recently issued
Mountain Melodies" contains some fine
touches, in which, however, the sublime
occasionally yields very suddenly to the
commonplace. as in this, for instance:
1 want to go where the flowers blow
On the mountains high and hoary;
Where the summer winds shake the pa
tient pines
And the sun in its glory
Falls DER the stream where the rippies
CLEAN.
Where the shores are shoal and sandy
Iwant to walk where the flowers talk
On the banks Of the Rio Grande,
/ love the stills In the running rills-
The wilowy rills half hidden
That lie in tho lap OF the gentle hills
In the lap Of tie hills unchidden.
Ilove the leas " here the honey bees
Are making sweets from the clover,
And when | walk where the flowers talk
Just feel good all over.

Francis Bret Harte ceased some years
ago to be an American poet, and since
1880 could hardly be called an American
writer, even in prose. Indeed for the
last few years of his residence in New
York he was lecturer and collaboration
rather than writer. In 1878 he was ap
pointed United States consul TO Crefeld,
Germany, whence he was transferred in
1880 to Glasgow, remaining consul there
till a new administration came in.

WANTS THE GAME LAW CHANGED.
Hunters Claim That the Deer Season Is a
Month Too Early.

MARsHF1ELD, Wis, Nov. 27.-There has
been more deer killed in Northern Wis
consin the present month, than dur
ing October, the open season. Hunters
generally are disgusted with the present
game laws. October is q month without
snow and as the law forbids the use
of dogs in the chase, a deer,
unless killed in its track, es-
capes the hunter only to die in the
woods Or become the prey of wild ami
mails. With tracking snow or the use
of dogs the animal could be easily found.
The present law, hunters tiers. claim, IS s a a
the deer shot are lost in the woods.
Deer were never more plentiful in this
section than this fall, but the mum Der
brought to market falls short over a malt
as compared with last year. A petition
will be presented to the next legisla-
ture to have the law changed making
the open season from November l to
December Is, or by allowing the use OF
dogs in the chase.
