Usual New Mexican Incident.

The officials at Santa Fee have been
notified that Fred Stuart, foreman of
the Burdick ranch, near Deming. was
shot and killed by Sam Tyndall, a
Deming cattleman. Tyndall's request
for a nights lodging at the ranch
house was refused. A quarrel ensued
and Stuart started for shotgun when
he was killed. Tyndall is in Jail at
Silver City.
Consumption is disease caused by
lmpurity of the blood, and the first
thing to be done in Its treatment is to
make the blood pure, rich and whole
some. That is half the battle. The
other half is the impregnation of the
blood with cleansing, healing, invigo-
rating medicines. DIR. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery does both. 1t first
puts the whole digestive system into
order, rids it of ali impurities, and from
the vantage ground SO gained, reaches
out to every tber of the body and re-
stores all to perfect vigor. 1t cures
many diseases, simply because many
diseases spring fl ON set of common
causes. The same disorder may lead
to different symptoms in different peo-
pie. What might be only little in
digestion in one person, may combine
with slight cold in another and result
in consumption. A treatment that
tones up the whole system is always
the safest. A medicine that is good
for the general health is pretty sure to
cure ordinary diseases.

A Euphonlous Marrying Judge.

Judge Reuben S. Saffold of Georgia
has made a tremendous reputation as a
marrying judge, and the colored people
"fock to him in droyes, " says the Jack
son Miss. Clarion-Ledger, to have the
knot tied. His popularity is due in part
to the graceful hourishes used in the
marriage service. Here is the final -four
ish i'll his amplifiod form Of the service:
by the authority vested in me as an
officer of the state Of Georgia, which is
sometimes called the Empire State Of
the South: by the fields of cotton that lie
spread abroad in snowy whiteness
around us; by the howl Of the coon dog
and the gourd vine whose clinging ten
drills will shade the entrance to your
humble dwelling place; by the red and
luscious heart of the watermelon, whose
sweetness fills the heart with JOY; by
heaven and earth, in the presence Of the
witnesses, l prc-o-nce you man and

OIL Painting.

The total absence Of all, even inciden-
tai, reference among classic authors to
oil painting may be considered conclu-
sive evidence that the ancients were
unacQuainted with the art. 1t is known,
however, from the frequent illusions to
them, that during three centuries ante
cedent to the technical perfection dis
played in the works Of the brothers Van
Eyck there were what we may consider
tentative efforts in oil painting. And so
distinct is the evidence Of the practice
Of oil painting long before the beginning
Of the fifteenth century-when the Van
Eycks flourished-that the account Of
their invention or discovery by Nassari
(the Italian biographer of artists, even
understood restrictedly, has been denied
altogether.
1t appears, however, that oil painting
was at first only employed for coloring
standards, banners and penn;ns with
heraldic devices and for the subordinate.
complementary and decorative parts Of
pictures-such, for instance, as draperies
and accessories. And no example Of fig
ures or pictures in the modern sense Of
the term, entirely executed in oil, be-
fore the tine of the Van Eycks, can be
proved to exist, nor is there a distinct
record Of such works having been exc
cuted. AS might, therefore, have been
expected, research has shown that the
Van Eycks are entitled to our gratitude;
not, indeed, for having created the art,
but for removing disqualihcations which
unified it TO compete with. much less
supersede, the ordinary tempera-the
egg vehicle of the medieval painters -

Houses Of shame are damning them.
Oh, let us toll and pray and preach

sermons Dead and Forgotten.

The wife Of a departed pulpit orator
once addressed her husband as follows:
There's Watty Scott. that was at
school with you, has published books,
and got thousands Of pounds for them.
Why don't you publish volume Of
your sermons and get thousands Of
pounds for it," For that good lady one
volume was just as good as another,
and there was no reason why Waiver
lev" should interest human beings more
than a collection of discourses all Of
which had set the congregation to sleep.
The good cleric understood things bet
ter than his admiring partner, but l.
did not suggest the consideration which
the astute reader has thought Of. Quite
another. He replied: "Wheesht, wum-
man. They're a in print already" He
added no more. Nor did she. Only let
me say, as with authority, that though
the sermons you have conveyed be very
good in themselves, they will sound
very dull when delivered by you.
Just yesterday very accomplished
man said to me, with much feeling: i
have inst been reading some Of Chal-
mer's sermons. How could that lumber
ing stuff produce the superhuman i'm
preston which it is perfectly certain it
didY' One could but say that Chalmers
could not publish that which was the
first, second and third thing which did
the work at the moment Of the awful
hush, passed away. Further, the taste
has changed. Much more direct SEN
tences are wanted now. Even Henry
Melvill is quite out of date. What Sir

bicycling on the Road.

There are very few people Of the
farming class who if properly approach
ed will decline to take you in for the
night provided you are reasonably well
dressed, a gentlemanly looking person
age and are not travelling in a company
OF more than two, including yourself.
You ride along through the day, and
toward evening come upon some attract
i've looking farmhouse. You approach
and ask the mistress il size will take
you and your friend in for the night,
adding that you are travelling Oh tour
from such point TO such point; that
you will gladly pay for what rest and
food she can give you. In nine cases out
Of ten she will take you in after short
talk. An evening spent with the farm
er and his wife and family, if you enter
into the spirit of the thing, IS one Of the
most enjoyable of evenings and at the
same time one Of the most valuable
methods for picking up a knowledge Of
the people Of this country who live out
Of your immediate sphere. Toward bed
time they will probably want TO pat you
in the spare chamber, which, in such
homes, means the one unused room OF
the house. If you decline and take one
of the poorer but frequently used rooms,
you will be happier. In any case the
mistress of the house will probably
think more Of you and charge you less.
Often in the morning when you set
out to continue your journey the farm
er and his wife will laugh at the idea
of payment. In that case it is due to
those who come after you as well as to
yourself that when you return home
you send them something in the nature
Of d present or remembrance. IN this
way some very pleasant evenings are
passed and some attractive acquaint-
ances made. New places are discovered
and new features of old places found
out from day to day, and. over and
above all, it is the most inexpensive
method of travelling afoot or awheel
that can be imagined. Harper Round

EducatIon's Rapid Growth In Sixty Years.

Books 80 years ago were few in
comparison with now" writes William
George Jordan in The Ladies Home
Journal. The public libraries Of the
United States, all put together, had
only half a million volumes in 1887.
This is less than the Boston Public Ii
brary contains today. Three of our
American Libraries have together more
books than were in all the public libra
ries Of England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales when Victoria assembled the
throne. Ignorance was general Forty
per cent of the men and 50 per cent Of
the women Of Great Britain could not
write their own names when Victoria
became their queen. The national edu-
cational system was but three years old;
It's money grants amounted to only
$500, 900. Uncle Sam now spends $l4O,-
900, 900 a year for teachers and superin-
tendents of our public schools.

New Orleans, January 2S.-At 12:35
o'clock this morning a collision occur
red on the river about twelve miles
above the quarantine station, between
the steam yacht Argo ana the fruit
steamship Albert Dumois, in which
the yacht had her bow stove IN and
sank within a very few minutes after
the accident. How the accident oc-
CURED and who was to blame for it the
courts Will most plODaDly be called up
on to decide. The DumOis was inward
bound from Port LimOn and the Argo
was bound down the river on her way
to quarantine station to meet the
steamship Whitney with the Congress
siOual committee on board. On board
the Argo were three reporters OF the
Picayune, Messrs. II. p. Hester and +.
Blassini, of the stan, and an eXtraman,
A. c. Lindauer. Mr.. II. J. Frantz, OF
New Orleans, was guest A crew OF
four men. commanded by Captain
James Brown, was in charge OF the
craft. and the vessel made excellent
time down the river, running with an
average of fifteen miles an hour.
All in the cabin had retired and moth
ing untoward occurred until about half
past twelve o'clock this morning, when
the Dumois was encountered coming
up the river. The Argo signalled for
the right and the Dumois answered by
two whistles, or a signal that that yes
sci would take the left hand side. The
Argo crashed into the starbOard bow
of the huge iron steamship. which had
one of the plates bent, but the Argo mad
her bow stove in and in few minutes
sank
The captain and the crew of the Argo
lowered away a small dinkey into
which they sprang. while the passen-
gers. only two. Nj Frantz and Lind
auer. succeeded in reaching the little
boat The boat had barely left the side
of the vessel before the Argo plunged
head foremost into the river, the stern
standing up high in the air The DU-
mois failed to lower away a boat to go
to the rescue of the little yawl, which
overcrOwded as she was, came very
near swamping. After reaching the
deck of the Dumois. it was learned that
Messrs. Hester and Blessini were miss
ing. and although the DumOis lay TO
fully an hour in a vain effort TO learn
something OF the missing men, they
finally abandoned the search and head-
ed up the river.
The young men who are missing and
whose fate is doubtless sealed, were
well known and popular reporters Of
the Picayune. Mr. Hester was the son
of Mr.. Henry G. Hester, secretary Of
the Cotton Exchange, in this city, and
the nephew of Mr. c. Harrison Parker.
Mr.. Blessini was also we'll known in
the lower section of the city.
