WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.
Points OF Contrast Between tho Rich In
America and In Europe.

Points Of Contrast Between tho Rich In
America and In Europe.
The English and the Americans arc
both rich, but which are the richer
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
find out, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distribution Of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, rs Is we'll
known, a considerable proportion of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretense of doing anything tor
a living. Is that because the English
are richer than we, or is il a matter Of
taste or a result of primogenitureG So
also it appears-from close study OF
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen In re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
FIVE to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all Of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
can whe lives in that way is looked
upon as a man of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
hsh gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 800 OF 400
hunt clubs, and something like 90, 600
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking Of
the shoals of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera aud in all the
play places Of southern Europe. When
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. Ho thought,
too, that the well to do English bad a
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend larger proportion of their
incomes on travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
heritance and were not compelled to
spend useful money in providing them.

to say that the Americans are richer

Grandmamma, In your frame on the wall,
Beautiful maid OF the long ago,
Stately and slender blond and tall,
With the pinched in waist and the foot 50
small,
Prithee tell-for fain would know
What did you on that Christmastide
When great-great-grandpapa made you brideY
Handsome and courtly and debouair,
With his powdered cue and his Roman nose,
As richly dark as his bride is fair,
He rests hand on your straight backed chair
To whisper to you, suppose
To whisper again as IN long ago
When he kissed you under the mistletoe.
Say, beautiful bride In the antique dress;
Say, beautiful bride In your bridal white,
Did you let him gaze on your lovciiness
TIL lifted eyes did your heart confess
As you led the dance on your wedding night7
Did he press your hand as he bent to say
Sweet words-as the lovers do today7
Ali courtly groom Of the vanished years,
Beautiful bride Of the days long fed,
Dust, but dust are your hopes and fears
Cold your kisses and dried your tears;
But hang here, over your head,
A sprig of such Christmas mistetoc
As you kissed beneath in the long ago.

cred It an awful problem how TO dis

Beecham's Pills for a bad liver



In another column may be found the
advertisement of the territorial normal
school at Silver City.
The regents of this school appear to be
live men and have gone to work in earn
est to build up a normal school to benefit
the territory and to train up our own
teachers, and we hope all who contemplate
becoming teachers will patronize it. A
medical education is necessary to fit a
man to become good doctor. A lawyer
can more readily learn the principles of
his profession in a law school. A minis
ter who has been drilled in the mysteries
of theology and duties of his profession
in a theological seminary is far more
capable of teaching and entertaining his
hearers than one who is not. If you
| wished to become an expert mining en-
gineer you would first prepare yourself by
study, and so with all trades and profes
sions, but in no profession is there as
much need of preparation as that of the
pedagogue. To qualify the teacher tt
properly discharge his duties is the mair
biect of normal schools. In doing thi
the scholar of necessity must receive
practical education and one that will maxi
him useful and intelligent citizen. NJ
law was ever placed on the statute book
of New Mexico which is likely to be NOR
beneficial to the territory than that estab
fishing normal school where our owl
teachers can be educated, and men WHIT
know the wants Of the west can be traine'
to teach our children. The time has com
now in this territory when there is M
excuse for poor schools and no excuse TO
directors to employ poor teachers, ant
hereafter let school boards employ thos
who are educated for their profession ant
no others, and it is the duty of tax payers
those who support our schools, to Sc
that this rule is enforced.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
Col, PaschaI R. Smith Sued for $50,
900 by a Wisconsin Capitalist
The Deming Scheme.

Col. P. R. Smith, of Deming, passed
through Santa Fe the other day en- route
east. When he reached Chicago he was
served with notice to the effect that suit
had been filed against him by Nathaniel
G. Foster, wealthy lumber merchant OF
Fairchild, Wis, to recover 100000 dam
ages.
By the suit Foster seeks to recover
money he put into the Deming Land Il
Water company. The concern was or
ganized short time ago with an alleged
purpose of running water from the
Mimbres river, distance of eighty
miles, into Deming. The company was
ca pltalized at 100000 and bonded for
100000. Smith, it is alleged, went 80
far as to furnish an affidavit that every
dollar of the capital stock was paid up
and non -assessable and that large por-
ton of the bonds had been foated.
The company, however, was in need OF
few thousand dollars, and if Foster
wanted to realize 800 per cent Smith
would be generous enough to let him into
the scheme. According to the promoter
they needed $4,000 to finish purchasing
the lands and $4,000 to complete the
water course. An agreement was finally
entered into by which Foster was to pay
into the company's treasury the sum OF
! $68,OOO. In consideration for this Smith
contracted to deliver 100000 worth OF
the company's bonds, which were "as
good as cash." and $133,133 worth of the
common stock. In addition to this Eos.
ter was to get, by way of bonus, $780,
900 worth of the special preferred stock
AS special inducement documentary
evidence was displayed to show that the
land already purchased by the company
was worth 100000 and that large por
tion of the bonds had been already dis
posed of.
Believing In the representations made
by Smith and which we're supplemented
by DR.. R. @. Fowler, of Boston, a friend o
Smiths, Foster signed the contract ant
gave Smith check for $4l 900 as frs
payment on the same.
Now Foster claims to have found on
that not dollar of the 100000 capita
stock was paid up; not dollar was ir
the treasury and the assets could be pur
chased for less than $4,000, hence hi
sues for damages.
