TO DAM THE RIO GRANDE
Spot Selected for the Great In
ternatioual Dam Near FL
Paso.

New Orleans, Aug. 90
Capt. George McC. Derby, in
charge Of the local Office Of the
United States engineers, return
ed yesterday from u ten days
trip 10 FL Paso. Tex, where lie
went to attend a conference Of
the United States authorities
and a number of Mexican oil
cials. The prospective plan #
damming the Rio Graude u
couple Of miles above Ell Paso
is we'll known, aud the details
have received broad publica
lion. At the spot chosen for the
undertaking the river narrows
to IA gorge about 500 or COO feet
wide, offering d good opportu
nifty for constructing the dam
to hold the water that would
flood the valley above the
gorge. This would make it pos
sible to store up the flood water
of the Rio Grande and after
ward it would be used for irri-
eating a valley ninety miles
long below FL Paso which now
bids fair to become uninhabit-
able by reason Of the fact that
the people above in Colorado
and New Mexico consume all
the low water discharged for If.
rigating their own lands.
Capt. Derby's return yester-
day was from his second trip
and he said that the result OF
the conference was most salts

of the Mexican commissioners
who were present were very

How the Smart Farmer Won
the Groceryman's Money.

An amusing story is related
Of a farmer who came into a
village grocery in one OF our
western states and exhibited to
an admiring crowd an enormous
egg, about 6 inches long, which
was laid by one Of his old hens
He had packed it in cotton, ana
wouldn't allow any body to
handle it for fear of breaking
the phenomenon. The grocery
man examined it with the rest,
and, intending TO chalf the
counlryman, said: "Pshaw! Eve
got something in the egg line
that will beat that"
9TH bet you So J ou haven't''
said the countryman, getting
excited.
Take it up!" said the groc-
erymau, and going behind the
counter he brought out a wire
egg beater.
Hold on, there" said the
farmer; "lers see you beat it,
and handed it to the grocer
The latter held out his hanc
/ for it, but dropped it in sur
I prise on The counter, where i
broke two soup plates and
platter. 1t was OF iron, painted
while.
"Some folks think they ar
t; raalion cute" muttpred th'
} farmer as lie pocketed tn
stakes and left, "but faint NJ

facts"

Memorial Sunday.

Memorial Sunday.
The Memorial service, in honor OF thu
soldier dead, was held last Sunday after.
noon in the Baptist church, which was
tastefully and appropriately decorated fol
the occasion.
The national colors were festooned from
the center of the pulpit arch along the
sides of the church, and a profusion OF
Towering plants adorned the platform.
In the line of march were twenty ladies
of the Relief Corps, sixteen OF the Sons OF
Veterans and about fifty members of the
Post.
Before commencing the service, Rev.
Mr.. Robson read the following, which was
handed him by the present commander,
Mr.. George H. Hoyt:
~. s. Grant Post, No. So, Department
OF Vermont, G. A. R., was organized May
oath, 1885, making this the tenth anniver-
sary OF the order. The Post was organized
with fifty-seven charter members and has
added to its numbers from time to time
until it now has upon'its roll 141 names.
During these ten years, twenty-five, lit
tie over six per cent. OF the number, have
been mustered out to join the silent COM
pany on whose narrow homes we lay our
flowers at this memorial time"
The divine blessing was invoked by the
Rev. V. M. Hardy Of the Cong1 church,
and the Scripture reading by Mr. Robson
was the Hath Psalm-"Blessed be the Lord
my strength, which teacheth my hands to
war and my fingers to fight" Prayer was
offered by the Rev. Mr.. Morrow OF the
Christian church, and very excellent mus
ic was furnished by the choir, one especi-
ally fine selection being rendered by
quartette of ladies.
Mr.. Robson Is sermon before the old SOL
diers was polished and thoughtful effort.
He spoke feelingly of the troubles and
the Republic during the course OF that war
which was to remove the stain OF slavery
from the nation and free the degraded
South from its greatest curse.
This institution, while 1t prevented the
mental and moral development OF the chill
dren of bondage, reacted unfayorably up
on the ruling class, lowering Its standard
Of morality also, and perverting its sense
Of justice and right. The northern SOL
der, with his sword, cut through the
southern wall of prejudice and let in the
sweet and wholesome light OF liberty. A
fitting tribute was paid to the devotion
who fought brave fight with the spectre
dread through the long years OF the
struggle.
The discourse, to which the audience lis
,ened most attentively, was distinguished
by lofty tone OF patriotism and an earn
,st desire to see the evils OF the present
lay as completely buried by the honest
votes OF honest citizens, as slavery was by
he hail Of leaden bullets.
