 ward turned against the liberties of the people, because the returning soldiers had lost their places in the homes of their childhood, and the republic for which they fought had no other places to offer. They quickly attached themselves to ann bilious men who gave them employment in the trade of their greatest proficiency. But the liber- ties of the people went down. In 1865 the United States offered the returning soldiers of her victorious armies all the vast region west of the Missouri where to take up anew their abandoned civic standing and create for themselves new places in | lieu of those they had lost by going to war. The heroes of the war spread forth and filled that vast region, creating as by magic great states and splendid cities. Without that tremendous region the marvel of history would not have occurred, and the disbanded soldiery would have proved the menace to republican institutions they had done in the history of lead and gone nations.
 Today the American people are face to face with the same old problem. They will have great army to disband-the flower of American manhood. It already quarter of a million of men. It may reach the million mark. When they return to civil fife they must be provided with op- , )ortunities.

He Put Them Off.

A conductor is held responsible for
the order maintained upon his train,
and has the right to eject any pas
sengers who engage IN a disturbance.
Hence when two drunken travellers on
No. IL night before last raised an up
roar while making the transit from
Trenidad, to Ration, insisted on swear
ing and fighting, broke q car window
and terrified several OF the lady pas
sengers, Conductor Joe Richley'stopped
the train aud put the disturbers
of. One of the men attacked
him, but both were put
off and in trying to get back Mr.. Rich
ley's assailant got a kick in the face
that knocked several teeth out. MIR.
Richley was summoned to appear be-
fore justice of the peace in Ration
yesterday to answer for his action and
according to tho report brought in on
No. IL last night he was exonerated
from all blame. All who saw the
affair said that Richley was justified In
doing a. he did, and several exprs ssed
the hope that the ruffians would be
dealt with by law So they deserved.
The disturbers were Rstonites, Messrs.

Not In the Business.

An article which appeared In morn
ing paper to the effect that the K. p.
& N, E railroad company was going
into the wood business was vigorously
denied by Superintendent Greig yes
terdsy. He said it was true that Mr..
Crosby aud others were figuring on
starting a wood yard here but the rail-
road company had nothing whatever
to do with IL. The company stauds
ready to haul wood to anyone desiring
to start wood yard here and there are
several parties figuring on il, but
whether they will start or not is yet Il
question. 1--WE hrs simply locating our
tracks aud IL anyone wishes wood we
will haul it to Them" said Mr.. Greig,
shut we will In no way interfere with
the dealers. When we reach point
on the main line so miles
from Alsmogordo, we will tap q
bed Of coal, not our pet
bed, by any means, but we will get
enough out of il to supply oursel es
with fuel and have considerable left
for the benefit of the public. when
asked when this point would be resch-
by the graders Mr.. Greig said:
"Makiog a rough guess, we will reach
there about the first o. next May. We
will then put about 100 men to work
on this coal property to star.
with aud increase the num-
Der as fast as the conditions will allow.
BY next winter we will be in shape to
ship n great deal of coal to Ell Paso
and surrounding towns" AS regards
the price OF this coal Mr.. Greig did
not say but It is thought that IL will be
q great deal cheaper than the price a,
present paid by the coal consumers of
Ell Paso.

She was quite silent for a few min

the hilltops before the light of the
sun, all shadow passed from her face,
and she answered him:

In the Early Morning.

In the early morning as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember that
you are in the very presence chamber
of God, who has been watching beside
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con-
secrate to Him those first few mo-
ments before you leave your couch.
Look on towards the coming day,
through the golden haze of the light
that streams from the angel of His
presence. You can forecast very large
ly what your difficulties are likely TO
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may need
carrying. Take care not to view any
of these apart from God. Be sure that
he will be between you and them, as
the ship is between the traveller and
the ocean, be it fair or stormy.-Rev.
F. B. Meyer.

1t seemed probable that it would be

and all anxiety about her was quite
at an end. The truth of the story had
come to light: all the papers had it;
every one knew that Lady Hamilton
had been shot by mistake and that II
was the young Countess of Caraven
whom John Blantyre had intended to
kill.
The earl confided the result Of his
mission TO Sir Raoul, who was not
much surprised.

strength" he said; Il should advise
you without loss of time to return to
London again."
Lord Caraven did so, but his journey
was fruitless. Hildred refused to see
him; to all entreaties from her father
she answered simply:
II have not one word to add to what
have said," and with that answer the
earl was obliged to be content.
In sheer despair he sent for Sir
Raoul, who, though almost unfit to
travel. fastened to him; he besought
him to use his influence with the beau
tiful young wife who had no pity
for him. Then he grew wildly Jealous
at the idea that she would listen to
Sir Raoul when she refused absolutely
to listen to him.

The Bee az a Dispatch Bear or.

An experiment has been made in
England which has resulted in proving
that bees fly faster than carrier pig
cons, in fact, that little, Insignificant
looking, hot-footed bee can beat the
handsomest pigeon home, in five cases
out of six. This being the case, the
future must witness the supplanting of
carrier pigeons by carrier bees. The
latter have much to recommend them
for this purpose. A carrier bee will
be hard to hit. A marksman that
would bring down a pigeon would ut
terly fail to hit bee. Then there is
nothing in a pigeons tail TO inspire
the respect of a foe. There Is in
bees. The rude hand of the trifler
that would try to stop the carrier bee
in his errand would be withdrawn sud-
denly--and rubbed vehemently. With
the aid of Micro-photography, the car
rying of long messages by bee would
be a matter presenting no obstacles.
A column of reading matter could be
fastened to it's thighs, and long dis
patch affixed to one of its feet.
