The ''On to Mexico" cry of lost
autumn is again aroused by the late
orders received by Uen. Ord to cross
the river in pursuit of raiders and
fight any one that endeavors to throw
obstacles in tho way. Without argu-
ing the necessity of the conflict which
seems growing more sod more immi-
nent prudence requires that this coun-
try count the cost in blood and treas-
ure that a successful war with Mexi-
co would entail upon us. Thirty years
Kaa it took something over two years
time nearly one hundred thousand
men and three hundred millions of
monev to olant our flag on the Mexi
can capital. Viewed as a settlement
of imDortant questions at issue between
the two countries the war of 1846 8
was as coniplste and sad a failure as
any contest for a like purpose known
to historv. Mexico osnie out of the
struggle minus a territory she did not
value and in other respects no worse
off than before while this country
was barely saved from the worst fea-
tures of fiuanoial depression by the
fortunate discovery ot gold in Califor-
nia. Tho experiences of our own civ-
il war are ulso of value in calculating
the cost of another Mexican war. In
18G1 the disaffected portion of the
Union possessed in most respects little
more power of resistance than does
our Southcrc neighbors to-day. Mexi-
co is a recognized government has no
national debt and her people possess to
a considerable degree the best quali-
ties requisite in the soldier. Added
to the topographical aspects of the
country which presents a strong ele-
ment of natural defense there are cli-
matic influences which would operato
to seriously increase the task of subju
gation. Just what amount of progress
Mexico has made in her military sys-
tem on the basis of improved organi-
zation is not known but it is sale to
nnv th.t her internal Jisaensions have
operated in tho direction of better
arms and a higher rate of efficiency
than many in this country are disposed
to admit. Added to all this a connict
with "los Americanos" the gringoes
of the Noith would instantly heal the
internal difficulties now so bitter
among all classes of Mexicans and
unit them in stubborn resistnaoe to
to the progress of our armsl In this
country the very genius ol our insuiu-
riorm would naturally render the propo
sition to force a conflict decidedly un-
DODular. fcveo after to. war was
actually in progress a strong and ac
tive opposition would be found to em-
barrats the fcovernment and in case
the brilliant exploits necessary lo sus
tain a national enthusiasm were accent
might possibly actually become domi-
nant in Congress and comp!l Pace
not at all complisnestary to the mili-
tary prowess of the cation. To avoid
inch a conLinrencT. those charged
1 with the conduct ot the war would be
forced to realize the importance o!
enter'cg the enemy's country wilh a
well prepared' overwhelming fore
ready to take advantage of every cir
cumstance calculated to achievo to-
enss. Experience has demonstrated
that but thirty-three per oeo I of tboso
borne on the muster rolls ss soldiers
ore actually available In line of battle
the larger number sucoumbing to dis-
ease filling hospitals or absent from
their commands for the multitude of
reasons well known in military circles.
Thus it will be seen that in its best
possible aspeot this oountry would be
forced to ' what would probably be-
come an exhaustive effort should war
with Mexico be re olved on. As there
exists do means of calculating with
aoy certainty the measure of resist-
ance of which the Mexicaps are capa
ble so the number of men and amount
of money required for the enterprise
cannot perhaps be even approximates
ly estimated but competent military
men incline to the opinion that to re-
peat the successful military move
meats of 1846-8 would require the en
listment of 400000 men and the ex
penditure of a thousand millions of
money. Victoria Advocate.

Some time ago there was a dancing
Darty given in a certain neighborhood
in Texas and most of the ladies pres
ent had little babies whoso noisy per.
versity required too much attention to
permit the mothers to enjoy the dance.
A number ot gallant young men vol-
unteered to mind the young ones while
the parents indulgod in an old Virgin
ia break-down. No sooner had the
women left the babies in oharge of the
mischievous devilsthan they stripped
the babies changed their clothes giv-
ing the apparel ot one to another. The
dance over it was time to go homo
and the mothers hurriedly took each a
baby in the dress of her own and
started some to their homes ten or
fifteen miles off and were far on their
way before daylight. But the day
following there was a tremendous row
in the settlement. Mothers discover
ed that a single night had changed the
sex of their babies ; observation dis-
closed other physical phenomena and
then commenced some of the tallest
female pedestrianism.
Living miles apart it required two or
three days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the women to
their natural sweet dispositions. To
this day it is unsafe for any of the
baby mixers to venture into the neigh-
borhood. Waco (Tex.) Reoiiter'.
Keep Your Troubles Sacred.
A worthy wife of forty years' stand
ing aud whose life was not made up
of sunshine and peace gave the fol
lowing sensible and impressive advice
to a married Dair of her acquaintance.
The advice is bo Eood and so well suit
ed to all married people as well as
those who intend entering that state
that we here publish it tor the benefit
of such persons:
"Preserve sacredly the privacies ot
your own house your married state
and your heart. Iet no lather or
mother sister or brother ever pre
sume to come between you two or to
shsre the joys and the sorrows that be-
Innir to vou two alone. With God's
help build your own quiet world not
allowing your dearest earthly friend to
be the confidant of aught that con
cerns your domestic pace. Let mo
ments of alieniatioo if tbey occur De
healed at once. Never no. never
speak of it outside; but to each other
confess and all will eome out rigni.
Xever let the morrow's sno still find
you at variance. Review asd renew
your tow; it will do yon good and
thereby your souls will grow together
cemented is that love which is strong-
er than death and you will become
truly one."

it'.
Newspapers' are being extensively
used in many ot tho publio schools of .
the West in place of books for reading
lessons. The wisdom of this course is
apparent. Muoh more Is to be learned
from one good newspaper than from
half a dosen ordinary sohool readers
and a well edited paper is quite as trust '
worthy in the matter of good English ;
it is full of contemporaneous history o f
intell gent disscusBion and affords a ;
picture of the world a study of which
is nearly as beneficial as experience ot
It. A great deal about everything os a '
be found in iuan enterprising journal.
and the student who oarofully reads
one day by day will find himsolf bet-.
ter oapable ot understanding the exnc
tions of the world iuto which ho ia
about to be thrown and of fighting his
buttles than it he followed too exclu-
sively the pages of ancient history.
The newspaper is the educator of our
day but for all that there must be a
care about newspapers ; they are not all
alike and a great many of thorn would
not be desirable in a school room.
