! AT that time. whatever may be the

continuance Of the pay of the mem.
bers;but there was an unwritten law
or maxim, that no regular session
could be prolonged beyond such time
as in the opinion of the farmer mem
bers, they could pillow their fields
That time had arrived about the Sec
ond week Of April, and a joint reso
luton adopted by the two houses pro,
yiding for the final adjournment OF
Monday, the 10Th day of April, at S
O'Clock in the forenoon.
AS had been the custom IN such
cases, the evening session of Saturday,
the 18th day OF April, was considered
by the officers and members as the
last business session of the term, and
although held until the small hours
of Sunday morning, was spent by the
two houses in the discharge of the
adjournment in listening to bunku m
speeches, Bunkum county was, as
usual, fully represented in that legis-
lature, and in final Misunderstanding and
leave-taking among the members.
AT this time we had heard nothing
OF the firing upon or the surrender of
Fort Sumter, nor of the call Of the
president for volunteers.
But late in the afternoon of Sunday,
dispatches were received announcing
the commencement of actual HOSTILE
ties at Charleston harb)r and the
crisis of Washington. And just at
this time to make good the saying
that the .smisfortunes never come
single" it became known that the at
torney general had given out the
opinion that the bill making the APP
preparation above referred to was un-
constitutional and void; and so after
three and a half months hard work
we were about to close the session,
leaving Wisconsin utterly unprepared
to take her place and do her part as a
royal state in this great emergency
of the Union.
There were some who enjoyed the
spectacle of the lately successful and
triumphant republican or as they ex
pressed it shanghai party of Wis
consin, brought to such plight by
its own insulliciency and lack of the
Courage Of it's own -eonvictionssrrs0 One
person in particular, newspaper re-
porter, who wrote over the pseudonym
of the Sioux" was more profuse and
loud than choice in his terms of the
BLACK republican legislature, and
exultation at the fix they had got
themselves into by practically adj
iourning the legislature without any
preparation to meet the crisis which
he, his paper, and all the democrats
had predicted would soon be upon us
unless Lincoln would back down and
compromise.

The Boston Wool Market.

The future of the situation in the wool
market here is uncertain as regards
where the present boom in prices is go
ing to end. Buyers are plentiful, and
there is an active demand for all kinds
of wool, but holders are uncertain as to
whether they shall hold or sell. 1t has
been several years since the market has
been SO strong. Territory wool contin-
ues in the lead, with prices at 55@57c
for fine medium and fine secured, while
fine strictly staple calls for 65 cents.
Medium woods are feeling the effect of
advanced prices, and are being taken
more freely. The Australian market is
very active, with stocks light and prices
tending upward Quotations:

vited Admiral Dewey to visit that city
February %. He accepted. He was pre-
sented by the committee with a superb
Sevres jardiniere.
Lieutenant Crawford gave out the
following statement on behalf Of the ad-
miral: Admiral Dewey has received
hundreds of letters and kilograms from
persons in all the walks of life in every
section of the country, assuring him he
is not without defenders, and express
ing sincere sympathy with him in con-
nection with the recent attack upon
him. These letters and kilograms are
far too numerous to receive personal
acknowledgment, but the admiral is

The Cochiti Bridge.

A committee Of the Albuquerque COM
mercial club has reported in favor of
having the bridge to be built by Ber-
nalillo county located three miles nearer
Albuquerque than the site proposed by
the county engineer. The committee be-
lieves the merchants would pay the ad-
ditional cost Of $4,000. The county is
limited to an expenditure of $4,000. The
bridge could be built where the engin-
eer has chosen a site for $4,000, while
at the place preferred $4,000 must be
expended. The matter that worries AL
buquerque is that the cheaper location
would be accessible to teams from Sam
ta Fe, and the bridge would be used by
them when the river cannot be forded.
The site Is too far from the Santa Fe
wagon road for ordinary use, and when
business justifies the expenditure San
ia Fe county will build her own bridge.

Fight With q Lion.

Manuel Lopez, sheep man in west
ern Guadalupe county, visited Roswell
recently and there told the story of a
fierce fight one of his herders, a young
man 10 years old, had with a mountain
lion. The herder was eating supper
when he discovered that his flock of
sheep was restless. He rushed out of
his hut and met large mountain lion
at the entrance. He fired load of buck
shot into the beast and mortally wound
ed him, but before the lion died he en-
gagged in life and death struggle with
the herder, whose clothing was torn to
tatters, and he was fearfully lacerated
and bitten before a well-directed staE
from his knife finished the work of the
shot. The herder managed to crawl into
the hut, and was found there uncon-
scious the next day, in a precarous con-
dition from great loss of blood, but
will recover. The young man is ma
tive of Mesilla, and his name is Precil.

The Santa Fe Growing.

The San Francisco Examiner says the
Santa Fe railroad is reaching out for
the trade of the northern coast of Cali
fornia. It has recently bonded the
Klamath railroad, the belt line about
Eureka harbor, and immense tracts of
timber land. In possessing the klamath
road, 90 miles in length, and the new
harbor belt line, the Santa Fe obtains
control of the entire water front of Eu-
reka. 1t is understood that negotia-
tions have been effected with the De-
catur road, now completed from Trib-
une to Uklah, whereby, in the near fu-
ture, that road will be extended to Eu-
reka and Santa Fe freight cars run into
Humboldt county.
