The Santa Fe New Mexican says: "a
railway from Durango to Gallup would
in a few years prove a very good thing.
While going through the northern San
Juan county this road would open up
one Of the greatest deposits Of as fine
steam and coking coal as can be found
on the North American continent This
coal land would greatly increaee the pros.
perity Of the road. The enormous de-
mand on the Pacific coast for coal could
be supplied and were. such a road extern
dsd south the growing demand Of the
Republic Of Mexico for such coal could
also be met. This is an era Of railroad
building and this project Of building a
railroad from Durango to Gallup is a
most feasible one and would be a pay
ing proposition. @. d Mcconnell. q
prominent citizen Of Durango and pres.
ident Of one of the banks Of the Shelter
City, is one of the promoters Of the
scheme. Here's hoping he may carry il

The diners at n popular New York
restaurant are said to have had the
privilege of witnessing an amusing lit
tie incident n evening not long ago.
An Angliclzed young man seated
himself at n table at which there was
only one other person. q writer well
known throughout the country, but
evidently a stranger to the newcomer.
The writer is n man whose dress is
always fastldiously neat. but by no
means fashionable in cut or expensive
in material When the young man took
his seat. the writer glanced up ut him
and, seeing that it was no n whom
he knew, returned TO his study OF the
bill OF fare.
The young mar |languidly placed his
monocle I'm his eye. aud, screwing mp
his face to keep the glass in position,
treated the other guest at the table to
n prolonged stare.
The stare ended abruptly, however.
for suddenly the writer looked up
Quick as thought he seized an empty
tumbler aud. applying II to his right
eye. stared gravely through It's bottom
at his vis-a-yls.
The monocle was dropped in a very
few seconds, and Il en- the tumbler wal
replaced on the table. But the yOuni
AngiOmaniac's face was crimson
while that OF the writer remalnet
grave and unmoved. and through thu
dining room rustled the sound OF some
thing that suggested repressed meiTl

It might have, been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer of
our Augustan age; that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquencc; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning, or that
Jekyll, who had set a hundred dinner
tables in n roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success in
the house Of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Their
speeches produced no effect. They
wearled and bewlldered their audience.
And their rising TO speak was too often
the signal for a general exodus; In fact,
as was said of Burke. they acted as n
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself,
though on two occasions his speeches
changed the fate of n division, was In
no sense Of the word an orator or even
a great debater. His voice was too
shrill and m~onotonOus, and he poured
out n torrent of words with such head
long huency as to confuse his hearers
as well as TO battle the quickest of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again, could reclte an admirable essay,
but his delivery was bad, and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as "grotesque as those Of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly culti-
waited minds than John Stuart Mill and
Mr.. John Morley, but as far AS their
parliamentary u~tterances go their
names are writ in water."-Black-
