The Second AdYentistS.

Some persons are greatly troubled about
tho second coming Of Christ. We trust,
they may possess their souls In patience
as that event 10 apparently as uncertain as
it was 1900 years ago, All predictions in
regard to 1t have thus far utterly failed,
and what is more, the prophets Of to-day
ore no wiser than they were athousand
years ago. 1t is, therefore, the height OF
folly Tor preachers aud laymen to labor to
solve mysteries which they cannot compre.
bend and to neglect duties which are real
while considering speculative theories. inc
same may be said in regard to the duration
OF this earth. To us it seems just as likely
to continue to exist as it did at the earliest
period of which we have any knowledge.
Generations will live and die as thou.
sand generations have done, and all should
strive to do their duty as becomes Christian
citizens rather than teach theories that
may alarm the weak or unfit the nervous
Tor the discharge Of the duties Of life. Tho
preacher who predicts events in order to
alarm the people, makes u mistake, and In
the end he may find that it had boon wiser
to have dwelt on the Importance of up
right living and tho conformity of con.
duct to the law of the land and tho com.
mands Of the Deity as understood and
,practiced by their predecessors in pulpit
aud pew, in the field and in the market
place Sensational preaching may alarm,
but the result won't provo enduring, and
hence it is wiser to appeal to reason than
to excite the fears Of portonts that arc the
mere flgments of ilnagination.

Was FISHER Appointed?

The report that Samuel &. Fisher, the
well known Democratic politician OF Sus.
sex county, had boon appointed to n ucra,
tive position in The Treasury Department.
has led to considerable inquiry in regard
to the influences which led to such re-
suit. We can answer by saying that tho
failure of the Republicans to unite last
fall on tho same candidates for Governor,
Congressman and members for the Legis.
lature, led to the appointment of Fisher,
II he has been so fortunate rs to get the
Office. The men who declared they would
sooner see tho Democratic ticket elected a
thousand times over than support the can
Uidates nominated ut Dover, are the par
ties responsible for tho election Of Senator
kenncy, who pressed Fishers appointment
and made possible the outragos pcrputratel
by the Democratic parry in our State
We hope they will not repeat their folly at
the next election

This nomination is objectionable to Plat
aud Mr.. Eli Quigg declares that tho Ro.

CHAMA RIVER PLACERS.
Practical Placer Miner Talks lu.
telIigently Regarding Same-Pres-
ent and Prospective work.

Mr.. Charles Peterson who is engaged in
placer mining on the Chama river above
Abiquiu, in Rio Arriba county, has been
a visitor at the capital for several days,
returning to his camp this morning.
In conversation with New MEXICAN
representative last evening Mr.. Peterson
said the Ohama river placers were being
thoroughly prospected and tested by
Pittsburg, Louisville and Kansas City
companies with view to putting in
dredges and other machinery.
"The Chama river placer mining dis
trict proper" continued Mr.. Peterson,
"begins about eight miles above Abiquiu,
extends up the river about four miles and
extends out on the gravel mesas about
one mile on either side of the river. 1t
should be added that there are rich spots
above and below this tract, but the ground
is not generally 80 rich."
"The ground in the area indicated aver.
ages from 25 cents to 81 80 per cubic
yard in fine shot gold" the gentleman
added, "and bedrock is reached at depth
ranging from eight to 35 feet from the
surface. Much of the pay dirt is found
on the mesas from so to 100 feet above
the river bed.- OF course water for work
ing these mesas will have to be forced up
from the river by means of steam pumps
or taken out in bitches from above. The
bed of the river and the adjacent bars are
also rich. 1t is confidently expected that
