Hemmed in bv mountains. aDoroachable I only by difficult passes and yawning canons, but surrounded by a vast plateau of many thousand aorea, farrowed by Silvery mountain streams and cnt in twain by the Rio Grande with ita lave lined precipice nearly a thousand feet deep. Susceptible, through irrigation, of the highest cultivation the plains of Taos formed a most attractive reaidenee-" to the Aztecs in pre-historic times and to the Pueblo Indians and their bpanish conquerors during the past two or shree centuries. We accepted kiodi iavitation: from Gen.

Atkinson to visit this region and the Aztec placer mines thirteen miles north west of Taos, whither he was bound on Official business, and set out a Week since in the moSntnn in' comfortable The' General ffas the John of the occasion, and Mr. W. W. Grifftin, of the Frst National Bank of Santa Fe and Col. Ott vail of Tesco.

a brather of the late' Judge Du-vall, of the U. 8. court, were our fellow-passengers. The distance from Santa Fe is about seventy eight milea, asd' the road run through a general varity of scenery. For the first twenty milee golnsr west it winds among sand hills, sand stone knobcut into ail sorts of fantastic patterna by the act ion 'of water and th-prooesetor sand storms, with a good" deal of cedar, pia, andplnon undergrowth pleea2' Whiii these, cactus, aage brash anddesert weedf abound along the rOad, from three to five miles apart are scatered pueblos SsdMex' lean towns, in about equal proportion.

The general style of architecture Is similar; tbe pueblos being, howe ver, a little more ornamented in the way of bttle- ments and chimneys, aad OeeaaidnaUy- a seoond story is seen to tho adobes. We strike the Rio Grande a little below Es- panola, the present southern terminus of the- Denver Rio Grande- Narrow Guage railroad, and after a few miles the valley contracts lntoua canon, and we enter it and pass tbrougiz iron the'Otd military orgovernment road cut into the rocky rivet' banteosrthe east side, while the railroad traverse! a similar but more regularly grided cur on the west bank. The mountains oar either Bide of the canon appear to1 be thickly strewn with broken lava, eovering almost every foot of the tops sides, and here and there piled up in cyclopeant disorder, but under tbis covering' of broken lava is sand and gravel. Fe BAmifiedrcrpv pear until we feave tbe canoa to make the long deseeot and aseeat, by which a deep gorge known as the 'Arroya Honda" is crossed some fifteen miles southeast of Taos. Having safely delivered ourselves from this great gash in- the' earth and rock, Baid to be rich in gold, silver and copper prospects, we find' ourselves on the borders of tbe great Taos valley, thirty miles long, along the Rio Grande, by thirteen by breath, and surrounded on all sides by heavily timbered mountains and foot hills.

In this valley- are the three villages, the town of Fernando de Taos, named from an! old don who had a grant of land here, the "Ranches of Taos" at the foot of the mountains on the east three mile distant, and the Pueblo of Taos two miles north, also near the foot hills. The Rio Grande bears off to the northwest, its canoo, half a mile wide and 800 feet deep, cut clearly through the plain like an overgrown ravine, still lava-lined by blocks brought down from the mountains, but still composed a to its banks of sand' and gravel, every where gold bearing. The population of the valley is about' of whom are Indians; 100 Americans, aad the re mainder Spanish and Mexicans of various degrees of whiteness and redness. ItlSSS AMD MLNEBS. The Dibble House is the only hostelry, but it is well kept, by an old NeW Yorker who hat resided here some twenty years, having taken a Mexican wife, and there is a treatment of hospitality about 1' that makes up for the strangeness and crudity of the adobe town.

The hotel was occu pied by miners and prospectors almost exclusively, its deep window-sills were everywhere piled with ores, and everybody wore the sanguine, alert look of the mining camp. New discoveries of quartz. copper veins; carbonates, and all the ores familiar to Rocky Mountain prospetors i.nd the general opinion was that ancient city whose ruins betoken history running back thousand years at least, was going to wake up and have its "boom" at last. THE AZTEO. PLAOBK.

Tuesday and Wednesday having been consumed in getting to Taos, Thursday was devoted to a visit to lie most consid erable mining town in' the Taos valley, the Aztec placer min-j at the mouth of the Rio Hondo, thirteen mites north of the town. A seven mile ditch along the foot hills from the canon of the Rio Hondo, brlugvtbe bydrsuUo" power to lee brink of the canon of the Rio Grande, and couple of weeks prior to our arrival, the Muffles had been completed the pipes put in the flume and the attack made upon the angle of sand, gravel and rock above the mouth of the Bto Hondo. The "bed rook" where tbe flume rests, cominenoes about fifty feet above thee surface of the river and already a large bole had been dug into the gaavel and sand superstruc ture by the terrific force of the water through its iron hose. By and bye there will be a "clean ep" and the resuU is awaited with breathless interest by every man, woman and child in the valley. If it is a success, the fortune of the placer mine owners, along the Rio Grande and its tributaries will be assured.

The valley is covered by claims for fifty miles, some of them rich enough to pay by the premature method of one man and one pan. The hydraulic, however, worked by a man and a boy. does the labor of nttv men, and conse quently can make rich returns; where one man and his pan could not make hia salt. A mile above the mouth of the Rio Hon do, a grand flume is in the process of construction, and it is anticipated that the dirt there will pay than farther down. But the more methodical way is to work a claim from its lower end up, though the gold is not eo plenty or so coarse, the farther you get from the quartz from which it has been washed by the mountain streams.

THE rrsBU Of TAOS. While the surveyor general was taking testimony the next day ia a land grant case involving the possession of many thousand acres of arable and mining land in the Taos valley, the other of our party visited the oldest inhabited Pueblo in New Mexico, and the on that possesses the most ancient characteristic of The Aztic habitation. Tea Pueblo consists of three groups of buildings, the church and its surrounding adobes, and two large pQes of adobe architecture, six stories fn height, built in an irregular terrace or pyramidal form and Swarming from basement to attie with its little aad big brown Inhabitants, numbering about one thousand.

Tie genius la displayed In the application to business.

It is proposed to place them in banks, postdfBces and other places where rogueare wont to ply their trades. When a suspicions looking person approache the counter to get a counterfeit changed or to negotiate forged or stolen checks, the clerk will turn on the camera while conversing with the supposed rogue, and thus obtain his photograph. Another device is in the interest of the employer. who, by setting ir. motion a mechanism of clock work, caa obtain a aeries of pho tographs of his counting room daring his absenbfl, showing just what the clerks have been doing.

These are but two of a thousand of the uses to which the inven tion may be put. Ball rooms may be photographed with all the beauty of flashing eyeavaad waving hair. Theatri cal scenes may be perpetuated and the jealout husband can by secretly arranging a camera in his house learn every-thine whion transpires during his absence. Civilisation is not a failure, after alL Thb question of life in other worlds has a ways been a favorite theme of speculation by philosophic and imaglna-tivjebjnds. Little hope, however, has ever been entertained of settling this point try actual observation But recent discoveries seem to prove that life very similar to that on the eartn unquestionably exists in other bodies of the solar system.

If, as was once the view, suicide be lire desperate resort of the needy, the starving, the insane, the guilty and the disappointed, we are con fronted with the suicide of person who belong to none of these classes. It is claimed that suicide increases in propor tion as people throw off their belief in world of future punishment. This Is plausible, and is to some extent, at least, borne out by the facts. In that case the sooner the old brimstone hell is revived the better. Cremation has ceased to excite public attention, but it teems to be makiDg progress in a modest way.

There are now three crematories in Europe, and in Ootha the city authorities recognize the right of anyone to choose between burial and incineration. Quite a number of.so- cietic have been formed and the inter national hygienic congress at Milan, last September, adopted a resolution in favor of compelling animals dying of con tagious diseases to be burned. Occa sionslly we hear of a cremation in this country, but the American people prefer just now to class it among the grotesque lunacies to be avoided, rather than tbe desirable rationalities to be soon realized. The waterworks ordinance will, in tbe ordinary course, come before the coun cil for action to-morrow evening. The JocniAi8 objections to it were stated in brief, seveial days ago, and need not be repeated.

It is stated that a company could be formed that would construct and oDerate the works for no other direct consideration than tbe necessary right of way and an exclusive franchise for a term of years. This, if true, is, in our view, a better plan than the one pro posed in the ordinance in question, The ordinance proposes a reckless voting of bonds, without a proper knowledge of whether the amount inV question would be sufficient to attain the object sousjht, We do not believe it would, even under circumstances much more favorable than ours. What a city should require, before vot ing money, and especially before issuing bonds, is a knowledge that the sum is sufficient, and that the object sought is worth its cost. In this case there is no data whatever given as to the first point, and that alone is enough to condemn tbe proposition. A plan commending itself elsewhere is the issuing of a moderate amount of bonds in aid of such enterprise, tbey be ing secured by mortgage lien, having reasonable time to run, at the end of which time the city might collect face and interest, or obtain the works by pur chase having in the meantime a certain specified interest in tbeir control.

The prime thing to be looked after to guard against any possible loss of the money of the people. The proposed plan not only fails to do this, but it seems to us to directly invite an unbusiness like and speculative risk. We trust the council will not submit the ordinance in its present shape or any' thing like it. Without the theory of evolution modern science would be nothing upon its philosophical side. For the last quar ter of a century scientists have directed their studies in the line of facts bearing upon this theory.

Years ago it was ac cepted by the majoiity of scientific ex perts as the most rational hypothesis upon which the facts of natural history could be explained. But there pave always been some great minda who have refused to accept it. Aoassiz was 1 one of tbe greatest of tbis class. The objecJ tions to the theory in his mind complete ly outweighed the arguments for it. "The truth is," he said, "that life has all the wealth of endowment of the most com prehensive mental manifestations and nono of the simplicity of physical phenomena." The difficulties of evolution he recognized to be even greater than lifting ones self by tbe boot straps.

The evolutionist asserts that since matter has been elevated into life and mind, it must have come about through some cause residing in itself. The Duke of Argyle, one of England's keenest thinkers, in his recent work on the unity of nature, has opposed the theory with great success. The great naturalist, ucxx.au is also a strong opponent of the development theory. In many quarters a decided reaction is setting in against the extreme school of evolutionists. The arrogant dogmatism of II deckel, is giving place to more modest declarations.

Huxley's BatAyHu has taught the scientists a valuable lesson in humility. Evolution has ceased to be a source of alarm to the better class of theologians. They no longer antagonize it as a scientific theory, but only the atheistic Interpretation of it. Some even make use of it to strengthen their systems. Henceforth it will be discussed simply as a question of fact, and as conservative bigotry and radical arrogance make the necessary concessions and compromises, the world of common minds may be able to decide upon the merits of the question In a common sense sort of way.

THE ENGLISH BIBLE Some of tbe Varaluos Which Preceded the King; James Illble and Their Authors.

Tbe probable early appeaTacco of tbe revised version of tbe new testament renders a brief sketch of the previous versions of tbe scriptures intert'Sting at this time. Up to the lime of EJjRard III of England the Vulgate was thu authoritative bible of the church of Rome tuea the only ecclesiastical authority of west ern Ubrlstendom. Edward II was tit swords' points with tbe Pope, and John Wycliffe, born about 1324, and a highly educated clergyman, sustaining the king in his fight, resolved to give the Bible to all England. Finding copy of tbe Vulgate in the Horary of Oxford university, he began its translation, which be finished iu 1384 It Was eagerly sought, but, of course, in the absence of the mesns of speedy reproduc tion by means of types, it could have no wide circula'ion. in spite of the opposition of the hierarchy, however, the demand for the bible in the popular tongue increased, and in the sixteenth century the second and great translation appeared.

William Tyndalc, born in 1484, and educated at Oxfoid. became a thorough student tsf tbe Greek scriptures, and concurred in Wycliffji's view that the Bible should be given to the common people; he tied from Eog-land to Qermany, and there prosecuted his translation, being aided by Lutber with advice and money. In December 1525, the first printed Eoglish bihli made their appearance in London. Tbe priesthood opposed tbeir entiance; ail that could bo Beized were destroyed; Tyndale was proscribed and some of bis triends martyred. But it was impossible to stop tbe spread of tbe scriptures, and though Tyndale himself was arrested in Antwerp on October 6, 1536, strangled and burned, the publication of the Bible was authorised by Henry VIII and many editions were issued.

Coverdale's edition followed, differing little from Tyndal's. Then came Taverner's, an adaptation of Tyndal's, and then Oranmer's, which was simply a revision. Thff Geneva Bible, of which John Calvin was one of the revisers, appeared soon after Mary's accetion and was published by the English refugees in Geneva. This was dedicated to Quean Elizabeth and became the bible of the Puritans. Then a commit'ee of fifteen learned men prepared the Bishop's Bible," and in 1583 tbe Roman church, finding that the English people would have the Bible in tbeir own tongue, printed the Douay Bible.

Tbis brings the history down to King James' version, adopted in 1610, which has since beeh the Bible of the people. Ot the new version, soon to appear, the prominent features have been already described. Th Berlmd Bible. Bro. Oaidaar's Lime-Kiln Clob.

"I take the pleasure an' said the president, as he held up a parcel, "in informin' you, a worthy citizen of Detroit, who does not car' to have his name mensuned, has presented tbis revised edishun of de Bible to the-Lime-Kiin Club. We do not open our meeting wid prayer, nor do we close by singin' de Doxology. but neberdeless I am suah dis gift win be highly appreshiated by ill. Dar has bin ooneiduable talk in die club about dis revised edishun. Some of you hah got de ideah dat purgatory has all been wiped out an' heabeo enlarged twice ober, an' I hab heard odders assert dat it didn't forbid lyin', stealin' 'an' passi'n off bad money.

My friends, you am sadly mistaken. Hell is jist as hot bib eber, an' heaben hasn't got any mo' room. In lookio, ober some ob de changes las' night I selected out a few paragraphs whlcu have a gineral b'uriu'. Fur in stance, it am Jist wicked to steal wateimellyons as it was las' y'aror de y'ar befo', an' de skeercer de crap de bigger ae wicaeuness. 'Nobange has bin made in regard to loafin aroun' de streets.

De loafer ant considered jist as mean an' low as eber he was, an' I want to add my belief dat he will grow meaner in public eslimashn all de time. "De ten commandments am all down heah without change Btealin' an' lyia an' cavetin' an' runnin' out night am con sidered lust as bad as eber. "I can't find any paragraph in which men am excused from payin' deir honest debts and supportin' deir famlies. "I can't fin' whar' a poo' man, or a poof man's wife, white or black, am 'spected to sling on any pertickler style. "Dog fights, chicken-hftin', polyticks playing keerda fur money an 'hangin' aroun' for drinks an' all such low busi ness, am considered meaner dan eber.

Fact is, I can't find any change whateber which lets up on a man from bein plume up an' down aquar' an honest wid de world. Dey have changed the word 'Hell to 'Hades, but at tbe same time added to de strength of the brimetun an de aize of de pit, an' we want to keep right on in de straight path if we would avoid it. Doan' let any white man make yon believe dat we's lost any gospel by dis revision, or aat feicr or raui or Moses have undergone any. change of apeerit regardin' de ways of libin' re spectably and dyin' honorably.
