Our Literary Conquest In England

A little book is to be published here on

From this n may fairly assume that
the popularity Of transatlantic writer's
In England Is now considerable. Not
very many years ago Longfellow, Poe,
Emerson. Hawthorne, Lowell, Mark
Twain, Artemus Ward and Josh Billings
were almost all the American authors In
whom the British public took any inter

American books swarm In our literary
markets, and their authors, like 50 many
Englishmen and women, have a reputa-

day the rapproehement between the two
great literatures and the two great read

invariably uses the diamond pen which
signed tho treaty Of Paris. Each Of the

ty as a memento Of the occasion. They,
however, yielded to the request Of the
Empress Eugene, who begged that only

The importance Of Secretary
Smiths favorable report can not
be overestiuDated, for it is largely
in line with such reports that con-
g~ressional action is taken, and it
requires hard and persistent work
to secure such reports as this one
SO promptly on such important
matters.
Armed with this report and with
tho justice Of his cause, Mr.. Joseph
was able, after several arguments
before the committee, to beat
down the opposition of the land
grant interests, and to secure a
unanimous report Of the commit
tee in favor Of the passage Of the
bill. This insures It's passage
through the house at least, and
Delegate Joseph is gathering data
to show to the senate the magni-
tude of the subject, and the vast
importance Of such q law to the
material development of New Mex
leo.
He should be returned TO con-
gress to complete this work, if for
no other reason. He properly
considers it one of the most vital
interests he has attempted TO adj
vance in congress, and that the
passage of the bill will be, next to
the land court law and his state
hood bill, the most far-reaching
work of his congressional career.
Think you, miners of New Mex

attempt to pass such a bill?
Delegate Joseph has been q

He has expended $4,000 il

He has always been a consistent
and out-spoken advocate of tn,
free coinage of silver at a ratio o.

He is now engaged in pushing
with all his vigor and stick-to-it
iveness, a measure of the highest
interest to the miners of Ney
Mexico.
For these reasons he deserves
well at the hands of every pros
pector and miner in the Territory
and, as grateful men to q consist
ent friend, they should vote foI
him in this campaign-if for nj
other reason, then because they
endorse his efforts to throw oper

they want him to complete thii

An Instance Of It Toward = Hero Of the
ErancO-GermRn War

An Instance Of 10 Toward q Hero Of the
ErancO-GermRn War;
A pathetic story Of national ingrati-
tude has been going tho rounds Of the
London papers, which is interesting
enough to DO repeated, especially as it
concerns those days Of intense interest
during which Paris was last in siege.
Publicity has been given it by the fact
that the hero Of tho incident has Just
gone into O French hospital in poverty,
there to die. The Pail Mall Gazette thus
tells the tale:
when tho German lines in the nu-
tumn Of 1870 were gradually closing
their boa constructor grasp round the
doomed capital, Durnof was tho hero Of
the hour. An experienced aeronaut, who
had three times been dashed into the
sea and bad run many other narrow es-
oapes, he proposed, with his balloon, Hep.
tune, to carry a mail out Of Paris and to
run the gauntlet Of tho beleaguering
armies. At daybreak on Sept. 23 he set
out on his adventurous journey, the di.
rector Of the posts assuring him as he
handed In the dispatches and the pigeons
that his courage and devotion would
meet with q splendid reward. Durnoi
succeeded in his task and landed safe
and sound at Evreux, but tho poor old
Neptune was never ct for another as
cent"
Twenty-Five years elapsed, but the
unhappy aeronaut never received a
penny from successive governments
Even his claim for the value Of his bal
loon, which had been used till it was
destroyed by the military authorities,
failed to obtain the slightest recogni-
ton. After a couple Of decades he got
the bronze medal accorded to all who
carried dispatches by balloon, and last
year a small monthly grant was made,
which barely suficed to keep him from
starvation. Swindlers and impostors Of
all kinds laid the foundation Of future
fame and fortune in the siege Of Paris,
but the first man who opened mp com
~munioations between the imprisoned in
habitants and the outer world seems
likely to die in dishonor and despair.

1t stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned
Him Everlasting Gratitude.
1t was in an 81" train and baby
was crying with all the strength of its
two-year-old lungs. 1The expression
on the faces of the occupants of the
car changed from indifference to pity,
then to annoyance, and finally to
downright anger. Finally, says the
New York Recorder, a man two or three
seats from the crying child leaned
over and snapped his fingers quickly.
The effect was magical. The child
stopped in the middle of yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed at
the man He snapped his fingers sew
eral times, then, accompanying them
with grotesquely cheerful smiles and
peculiar shake of his head which
seemed to highly interest the cross
cherub and appeal to his sense OF
humor for "a wavering little smile
crept around the corners of the droop-
ing mouth and the cries ceased for
good. The man leaned back in his
seat, bestowing occasional cheerful
winl1s and smiles at the vanquished
foe.
He reaped his reward. The old fell
low next to him declared he had diplo-
macy enough to make n prime minis
ter, the men opposite peeped at him in
friendly recognition over the tops of
their papers, the woman near him with
nerves and headache said: THANK
you," and the pretty girl in the cor
ner gave him u sweet smile. That man
left the car followed by a score of
blessings, and the cross baby turned
over and actually went to sleep.

OLD PLAYMATES.
A Pleasing story of Celebrated Fren

A Pleasing story of Celebrated French
Sportsman.
The author of Modern Hunting" in
La Nouvelle Revue, tells a pleasing
story of one of the Oldest and most eel
ebrated sportsnen of France, Prince
de Joinville. The prince is perhaps
the ''senior member" of hunting soci-
ETY. in this country. He was hunting
in the Chantilly forest, as the guest of
Due d'Aumale.
His party met another party which
was following deer in the same for
est, and some disorder resulted. The
prince lost track of the animal that he
was following but he took the disap-
pointment philosophically, and set out
to find the deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
white-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
passed by there recently. The son of
Louis Philippe asked some simple
question, but as the old peasant replied
he looked at him keenly, seeming to
pay more attention to him than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
'Waitl it seems to me that know
you, friendn he exclaimed.
Eyes. sir" replied the peasant, in his
old, cracked voice, which shook with
emotion. "Oh, yes, we have often
eaten cakes at 'Auntie Adelaide's.'"
1t was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time had not made
the prince forget his old playmate and
