WHITE HALL, CLAWS HOME.

lucky country houses is some distance
from the road. The building is Of red
brick, large and tasteful. and seems to
carry, as so many southern mansions
do, vague impression of the ample
hospitality within. The visitors were
directed to side door by servant,
presented the letter of introduction
John G. Fee had given. and stepped in.
to the presence of the general himself.
He is massive man. bearing as if he
felt it not the burden of his more than
eighty years. man with youthful flash
ing eyes and long white hair, one who
would be recognized as fOrceful any,
where and at glance. Through a con-
servatoried portico in which some large.
rare plants were blooming. the party
entered the library-a part of the odd
house" built by Gen. Clay in 1890. when
Daniel Boone was yet a man in middle
life, and upon the shelves of which
many quaint old curious volumes"
were rep0sng.

CASSIUS CLAY,S HOME.

Old War Horse Is Spending His Declining

Russia's Royalty.

1t was sunny April day and for the
last half hour the carriage wheels had
ground the pounded limestones of the
pixies" To right and left, fenced in
by low stone walls and budding hedge
rows, green pasture land and fallow
field had rolled in graceful pillows out
to the horizon line, while over all the
ever-present haze was spread-a regal
robe-above the blue grass.
The party had been talking of a
prominent man, his college days atYale,
the years of his young manhood given
to slavery's uprooting, the True Amer
lean, his paper founded at Lexington;
those bitterly fought canvasses in
which Cassius Marccllus Clay had never
spoken save with his weapons close at
hand, of the mobs that he had quelled,
often by the mere force of personal
presence, and the terror that his name
inspired; of his Mexican war record,
imprisonment and his glorious return;
of his stand when came secession, his
secret mission to his native state, his
Russian ministry and his recall. And
one of the party recalled a political
meeting of the year before at which
one of the hero'S letters had been read,
and how the room had rocked with
cheering and the white-haired justice
on the bench had pounded with his
cane upon the floor and shouted: Listen
at the old war horse" till the very win
dows ratified. Kentucky loves its great
men; and now the next turn in the road
would bring his home in sight.

A FALLEN EMPRESS.
Wreck of the Most Successful Adventures
the World Has Ever Known.


The eX-Empress Eugene, who was
always the guest of the De Mouchys
when she passed through Paris. has
been on the occasions that she visits
cur Vile Lumiere forced to put up at
the Hotel Continental like simple
Cook S tourist, where no one recognizes
in the lame, old, broken woman the
once radiant empress of the French,
says a Paris letter writer. The olden
prophecy that used to alright her so.
that her fate would be sadder than that
of Marie Antoinette. some people
think has been realized in her case, as
she has outlived all that seemingly
makes life worth living.
However. luckily for herself. she does
not agree with the sentimental theo-
ries of the outer world. for to an init
mate friend she said the other dav:

EDUCATED IN AMERICA.
A Wonderfully Intelligent Horse Now As
tonishing the London Public.

tOn1shtng the IOnuOn tuDlc.
1t cannot be said of the horse, as
Heine said of the monkey, that it does
not talk for fear of being put to work.
Probably the ultimate degree to which
the training of animals may be carried
is reached in the case of the talking
horse that literally made its bow to the
public recently at the Crystal palace,
says the London Daily News. Mazeppa
is an Arab, educated. so to say, in
America, and its extraordinary capaci-
ty for learning was manifested before
an astonished and enthusiastic audi
ence. In the strict meaning of the
word the horse does not talk, but is
capable of answering questions adj
dressed to it. 1t even understands
French or German when it hears it
spoken, though it does not speak these
languages, in which it is not less ac-
complished than some human beings.
The animal not only appears to think,
but is capable of expressing itself in
telligibly by signs. 1t has a special
talent for arithmetic.
The audience was invited promis-
cuOuslv to call out number of figures,
which were arranged in rows on a
blackboard, and Mazeppa, after looking
over them. gave the sum of the addi-
ton by paving the ground in every
case the exact number of times neces-
sarv to indicate the result. As mere
trick this would be surprising enough,
but. considering the figures were taken
at random from among the audience,
ladies and gentlemen, and, in particu-
lar. eager little boys contributing, col
fusion seemed out Of the question, and
Mazeppa' good faith was established
by the still more remarkable achieve
ment that followed. The horse was
directed to count the number of per-
sons in given rows of the audience, and,
having done so more than once, pro-
ceeded to indicate the number of
women and the number of men in any
particular row. Having passed this
examination, Mazeppa stood forth to
answer any question to which it was
possible to give reply directly, by
means of shake of the head, signify
ing either Yes" or No." or in figures.
Thus the day of the week and the
month of the year, or the date of a
birthday. revealed to the trainer, Prof.
II IS. McGuire, was promptly found by
the horse. any attempt to deceive it
meeting always with a decidedly EN-
phatic Negative. This astounding en-
tertainmcnt concluded with an imita-
ton by Mazcppa of a young man pay
ing his addresses to a young lady. The
horses affectatiOn of tenderness adds
a very humorous touch to an excellent
piece of pantOmime.

Legend of the Daisy.

There is pretty legend connected
with the daisy, which is an Old World
flower Americanized. When the early
Christians OF Britain were prosecuted
and put to death st. Bruon persuaded
his sister, st. ole, to flee with her
maiden companions. After the perse-
cuti"n ceased the bishop searched
fruitlessly for his sister until he noticed
that there sprung up in his pathway
little tufts of flowers with golden
hearts and starry rays of white. He
took them for his guides, and following
their mute reckoning. after many days
they led him to a desert place where.
in rocky hiding place, he found his
sister

up his ears at night. He explains the
process as follows: THE stick of wax

sufficient quantity is pressed off be-
tween the thumb and finger This is
placed in the entrance of the external
meatus, In order to make such a fit
that no sensations of touch are pro-

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
HipOlitO Vigil's Successor-New Teach.
ers in the Second Ward
School Moneys.

Aspecial meeting of the board of edu-
cation was held in the Catron block last
night. All members were present. The
minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.
The vacancy in the board caused by
the death of Hipolito Vigil was filled by
the election of Juan Garcia, of the LIST
ward.
The vacancy in the I'd ward primary
school, caused by the resignation of Miss
Culbertson, was filled by the choice OF
Prof. Craven and Charles Conklin, jr., as
primary teachers. This increase in the
force was owing to the fact that Miss Gull
bertson had seventy pupils under her
charge and it was thought that was too
large number for one teacher. Tho
second teacher will occupy a room in the
University building.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Hudson and Frost was appointed to con-
fer with the county treasurer for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining if the school moneys
in his hands to the credit of the city
schools could not be paid over in adj
vance of the quarterly division in April.
This would save interest on warrants and
enable the board to pay the current ex-
penses of the schools in cash.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Spiess, Alarid and Castillo was appointed
to confer with MISS Heath as to the sala-
ries that should be paid the new teachers
in the I'd ward with instructions to report
at the next meeting.

The Albuquerque Democrat joins in
turning neat compliments for the NEW
MEXICAN these days. The Democrat
says: 'In nearly every issue of the New
MEXICAN we see an editorial saying 1T is
an excellent newspaper The sun hath
no need to boast of its brightness"
The business men of this community
should show their appreciation of the
New MEx1oAN's endeavors to publish "the
leading newspaper of the territory" by
seeing to it that their names appear in an
advertisement in it's columns. One good
turn deserves another.
Mr.. Simon Nusbaum has taken a posi-
ton as chief accountant in the jobbing
house of A. Staab. Mr.. Nusbaum is one

keepers; he has had wide business expert

ing public. All success to him in his new
field of duty.

ing to make any reasonable concession
the Albuquerque foot ballists may ask if
they will only consent to come here on
February % and put up game for the
amusement of the territorial militia men
who are to assemble here on that date.
Let's hear from the Duke city-lings on
this proposition.
A newspaper is always printed in a
rush, says an exchange. There is always
something in it that should be left out;
something left out that should have been
put in. 1t is sometimes too quick to act
but with all its shortcomings and faults
there is more education in bright news
paper than in novel. You will find
that the brightest boy on all practical,
sensible, everyday questions, is the boy
who reads the newspaper.
Judge j. H. Walker, register of the U.

family will occupy half of the house. The
latter is an experienced civil engineer.
and, having important surveying con-
tracts in the territory, has concluded to
make Santa Fe his future headquarters.

serve the law to the letter, but he has an
idea that his friends in this case should
not be deprieved of giving their exhibi-
tions and earning money from the crowds
who are willing to pay for admission,
hence he proposes in future not to
permit any Sunday exhibits of this sort,
but will permit the exhibitors to do bust
ness on week days just az any other show
would have right to do that in nowlse
conflicts with the laws of New Mexico.
