Wheeler, jr., and Mr. Abbott with much spirit. “The Cradle Song,” also by Luther, was sung by Miss Kittie Hobbio in #uch a graceful, pleasing manner, that she received a hearty encore.

It is a well known fact that the choir of Trinlty always sings well, but on Thursday evening they sesmred to be particularly im- bued with the sentiment of the words and music.

And the abrupt moun- tains, the echoing, rock-walled canons, the sunburnt mesas, the streams bankrupt by their own shylock sands, the gaunt, brown, treeless plains, the ardent sky, all harmon: izes with unearthly unanimity. SUN'S VERY OWN CORNER. “Picturesque” is a tame word for it. Itis a picture, a romance, a dream, all in one. It is our one corner that is the sun's very own. Here ho has had his way, and no dis- crepancy mars his work. It is a land of quaint, swart faces, of Oriental dress and unspolled speech; a land where distancs is lost and tho eye is a liar; a land of ncTable lights and sudden shadows; of polytheism and superstition, where the rattlesnake demigod and the cigarette a means of gra and where Christians mangle and crucily themselves—the heart of Africa beating against the ribs of the Rockies. There are threo typleal races in New Mexico now—for it would be wrong to include the 10 per cent “American” Interpolation as a type. With them I have nothing to do. They are po- tential, but not picturesque. Besides them and around them are the real auctothones, a quaint ethnologic trio. First, the 9,000 Pucblo Indians—peaceful, fixed, hous dwelling _and home-loving tillers of the soil; good Catholics, in the churches they have builded with a patience infinite as that of the pyramids; good pagans every- where else. Then the 10,000 Navajo Indians —those other 10,000 are in Arizona—sullen, nomad, bhorse-loving, horse-stealing, horse- living ‘vagrants of the saddle; pagans first, last and all the time, and inventors of the mo her-in-law foke gray centuries before the civilized world awoke to. it. Last of all, the Mexlcans; n-bred and isolation-shrunken desendants of the Castilian world-finders; living almost as much against the house as in it igno ant as slaves, and more courteous than Kkings; poor as Lazarus, and more hos- pitable than Croesus; Catholics from A to lizzard, except when they take occasion to be penitents—and cven them fighting to bring their matted scourges and bloody crosses into the church which bars its doors to them. The Navajos have neither houses nor towns; (he Pueblos have nineteen con pact little “cities,” and the Mexicans several hundred villages, a part of which are share by the invader. The few towns of undiluted gringo hardly count in summing up the ter--| ritory of 300 by 400 miles. UNIVERSALITY THIE FEATURE. It New Mexico lacks the concentration of natural picturesqueness to be found else- where, it makes up in universality. There are almost no waterfalls, and not a river worthy of the nam: nons are rare, Ahd inferior to those of Colorado and the farther southwest. The mountains are largely sky- ward miles of savage rock, and forests are far between. But every landscape is char- acteristic and even beautiful—with a weird, unearthly beauty, treacherous as the flowers of the cactl. ~Most of New Mex ico, most of the year, is an indescrib- able harmony in brown and grays, o which the enchanted light of its' bluo skies casts an eternal spell. Its very rocks are unique—only Arizona shares those astound- ing freaks of form and color carved by the scant rains and more liberal winds on im- | memorial centuries, and towering across the bare land like the milestones of forgot- ten giants. The line of huge buttes of blood-red sandatone, which stretches from fount San Mateo to the Little Colorado, | including the “Navajo Church” and a thousand minor wonders, is typically New Mexican The Navajo Reservation-—-which lies part in this territory and part in Arizona-—is remarkably picturesque through out, with its broad plains hemied by lant mesas split with wild cano So are the regions bout Jamez, Cochiti, Taos, Santa IFe, Acoma, and a few others.
