"Whereas our public lands contain niines of the precious metals which are unsurpassed in extent, and can, with proper development, be made speedily to enhance the value of all property, and thereby relieve the burdens of the people; and
" Whereas a wise policy indicates that the revenue derived from our mineral lands should, to some extent, be devoted again to the much-needed development of that important interest; and
"Whereas Congress, by an act approved July twenty-fifth, eighteen hundred and sixty-six, authorized the construction of a draining and exploring tunnel to the Comstock lode, in the State of Nevada, and granted to Adolnh Sutro certain rights and privileges, which have been assigned, transferred, and set over to a corporation, duly organized under the laws of the State of California, and known as the Sutro Tunnel Company; and
"Whereas great benefits will accrue to the people of the United States from the construction of said tunnel, which, as a great geological survey, penetrating into an argentiferous mountain to a greater depth than has yet been reached by any similar work in the world, will establish the value of our mineral domain; and
"Whereas the principal wealth of our mineral regions consists in low-grade ores, which can only be utilized by means of improved reduction, concentration, and smelting works, for the erection of which extraordinary facilities exist at the mouth of said tunnel; and
"Whereas this work bears a national character, and its magnitude is beyond the capacity of private enterprise, and the security offered to the Government is ample for the repayment of any sums to be advanced under this act: Therefore, be it enacted," etc., etc.
2.   " Congress has already granted to Sutro and his corporation.
franchises that for speculative purposes he claims are worth over six millions of dollars a year."
Congress has granted certain franchises, which are of no value unless the tunnel is completed; and if they be then worth six millions of dollars, they offer most excellent security for a loan of two millions of dollars.
3.   "These grants were made on the assurance that the corporation
would go on and construct its tunnel, and thus develop all there was to be developed of the Comstock lode. This has not been done."
The most persistent and strenuous efforts were made for years to carry out the work, which would have been completed long before this time, had it not been for the continued, unscrupulous, and powerful efforts of the Bank of California io prevent it.
Folklore:	Stories of Ex~..51aves

a ~O88U1U In a little scrubby tree. I wa~ always a good climber; so I went up the tree to shake tne possum out. I shook arid shook but the possum would not tall out of the tree. I shook so hard that my hat sell off and I told the ni~ers not to let the dogs tear my hat. That was no skunk in the tree, cause we couldNt smll anything, but when I looked again at the ?possuni, or what-S ever it was, it got bigger and bigger. I scrambled down the tree right away, riearly ~al1ing out of it, but I wanted to get away. The dogs acted kinda scared.; yet they would run up to the tree and bark. One old dog I had did not bark, he just hollered. We left the thing in the tree. I dont know what it was, but it warrit no possum, for Id shook it out of the tree if it had been.

	In further discussing the subject of fowls in talking among themselves, he said~that he kad often noticed a rooster and some hens standing around in the shade talki~ng~

	The rooster will say something and the hens will listen; then answer him back, yes. One day I heard a turkey hen say, we are poor, we are poor  ~ The old turkey gobbler said, well, who in the hell can help it.  Yes sir, they talk just like we do, but taint everybody can understand em.

	He said that he had fifteen children by his first wife. He remained single for thirteen years after his wiles death, arid never had any children by his second wife.

	Do ~ reck~ well ever get a pension in our old age? he asked. It seems to rae they would give us old fellows eoiaethin~ to live on, for we cant ~ork. i~ow can we live now~..a.!.days? When a man has done good work when he was able, the country ought to take care of him in his old age.

GPS networks are being established in a number of countries for atmospher=
ic sensing. UCAR, in collaboration with participating universities, is de=
veloping such a network. Named =93SuomiNet=94 to honor meteorological sat=
ellite pioneer Verner Suomi, the project is funded by the U.S. National S=
cience Foundation. UCAR will provide 100 GPS receivers to participating u=
niversities. In turn, the universities will provide site equipment and In=
ternet connection for five years. SuomiNet exploits the ability of ground=
-based GPS receivers to make thousands of accurate upper and lower atmosp=
heric measurements per day. Phase delays induced in GPS signals by the io=
nosphere and neutral atmosphere can be measured with high precision simul=
taneously along up to a dozen GPS ray paths in the field of view. These d=
elays can be converted into total electron content (TEC), and integrated =
water vapor (if surface or model pressure data are available), along each=
 GPS ray path. The resulting continuous, accurate, all-weather, real-time=
 upper and lower atmospheric data create a variety of opportunities for a=
tmospheric research. SuomiNet, its applications, and the opportunity to c=
oordinate national real-time GPS networks will be discussed. More informa=
tion on SuomiNet is available via <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/suominet>.=

This insect is one of the many species that deposit their eggs in great numbers in the larva of Lepidopterous insects. In a dead and dried larva, which I found adhering to a tree, were the follicles of forty or fifty individuals of this Species. It varies somewhat in the quantity of the black colouring with which it is marked. In some specimens this extends not only along the pectus, but is continued in a capillary line along the edge- of the thorax, the metathorax also is entirely black, the tergum is blackish at tip and on the sides, the pectus has a black spot in the middle, and the hypostoma has a transverse^ blackish spot.

;NAME:
;	R_DILATE
;
; PURPOSE:
;	Replace pixel values with the neighborhood maximum. Like DILATE, but
;	1. takes floating-point maps
;	2. ignores pixels <= a minimum value/
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;	dilatedmap = R_DILATE( map, [ kernel, FLOOR = ])
;
; INPUT ARGUMENT:
;	MAP = the array to dilate
; OPTIONAL INPUT:
;	KERNEL = the byte-sized kernel that describes the shape of the 
;		neighborhood.    For example, for a 3x3 neighborhood, 
;		KERNEL=[[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1]].    Or you could define a 
;		cross-shaped neighborhood by KERNEL = [[0,1,0],[1,1,1],[0,1,0]]
;		It should be square and of odd dimension.
; 
;          The default kernel = 7x7 with the 24 corner pixels zeroed.
;
; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD:
;	 FLOOR = the minimum value of an occupied pixel. Default=0.
;
; OUTPUT:
;	DILATEDMAP - The floating-point dilated map.
;
;NOTE: 
;	The edges of the map are not filtered.
;	If too few pixels are occupied within a neighborhood, no filtering is 
;	done.   The companion routine is R_ERODE

30 Doradus is lit up like a Christmas tree. Shining in light across the
electromagnetic spectrum, 30 Doradus glows because of all the energetic
processes that go on there. A distinctive region visible in a Milky Way
satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), 30 Doradus is a
hotbed of star formation, supernova explosions, and ionized plasma. The
above image is a composite of three pictures taken in three different
wavelength bands of light. Red represents X-ray emission created
by gas as hot as 1 million degrees Kelvin. Green represents emission from
ionized hydrogen gas, and blue represents ultraviolet radiation primarily
emitted by hot stars. At the conclusion of this symphony of star formation
and light in a few million years, astronomers expect that a new globular
cluster will have formed.

STATEMENT FROM DR. JULIAN EARLS, NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER DIRECTOR, ON TODAY'S NASA SHARED SERVICE CENTER ANNOUNCEMENT

"I believe that the proposal submitted by TRAX International 
Corporation, City of Brook Park, State of Ohio, Greater Cleveland 
Partnership, and Team NEO was of high quality. The competitive 
process worked as designed and resulted in a win for the Agency. The 
level of cooperation and collaboration demonstrated by these partners 
in this effort is the most impressive I've ever seen. The cooperation 
that was experienced in putting together the proposal can serve as a 
model for future partnering endeavors for the State, the community, 
and Glenn Research Center."

Fort Richelieu Attacked.              101
would only have been provoked by his words, as he well knew, he drew unto him the little children, and taught them how to make the sign of the cross. An old man caught him making the sign on the forehead of his grandchild, and even teaching the child to bless himself. The sight aroused all his hatred and superstition. He called one of his nephews and said, " Go kill that dog of a Frenchman. The Hollanders tell us that the sign he has made on my grandchild is not good. I fear lest some evil will befall him." Unfortunately, the order was too much to the taste of the young brave; he breathed only vengeance since he learned that one of his relations had been killed in the attack on Fort Richelieu. He had only to find his victim outside the palisade, and unprotected.    An opportunity was soon found.
Full of gloomy forebodings Father Jogues endeavored to maintain his disciple as well as himself in perfect resignation to the will of God. When not at prayer, this was the ordinary subject of their conversation. One evening the missionary and his disciple were walking in the woods near the town, when they saw the old man's nephew and another young brave approaching, and were ordered to enter their cabin at once. " I had a presentiment," writes Father Jogues : " of what was going to happen, and I said to Goupil, 'My dear brother, let us recommend ourselves to our Lord and our good Mother the Blessed Virgin : these men have some evil purpose, I fear, . . . We had shortly before offered ourselves to our Lord with much earnestness, entreating Him to accept our lives and our blood, and to unite them to His life and blood for the salvation of these poor people !"
The two captives turned their steps towards the village, all the way saying their rosary. They had recited four decades, when, as they neared the gate, the two Iroquois following, one of them raised a tomahawk which he had concealed under h's robe, and dealt a violent blow

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO
600 AM PST SAT FEB 28 2004

.SYNOPSIS...BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT 
WILL END THE SHOWERS THIS MORNING. DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL 
CONTINUE FAIR WEATHER ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN ON 
MONDAY. SHOWERS RETURN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS A COLD FRONT 
MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH FOLLOWED BY LOW PRESSURE ON TUESDAY. HIGH 
PRESSURE WILL REBUILD DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE COMING WEEK FOR 
A RETURN TO FAIR WEATHER. 

&&

.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES.

.SHORT TERM...TROUGH AXIS IS EAST OF FORECAST AREA BUT UPSTREAM JET 
LEVEL WINDS COMPARED WITH THOSE DOWNSTREAM OF THE TROUGH ARE ABOUT 
50 KTS HIGHER WHICH IS SLOWING EASTWARD PROGRESS. SATELLITE WATER 
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED ONE LAST EMBEDDED IMPULSE...DROPPING SOUTH OFF 
THE COAST. AT 1030 UTC IT WAS OVER THE OUTER WATERS AND SHOULD MAKE 
THE TURN ACROSS NORTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS 
HAS ENHANCED SHOWER ACTIVITY AHEAD OF IT OVER FORECAST AREAS. 
HOWEVER EXPECT INCREASING SUBSIDENCE AND SHOWERS TO END BETWEEN 
SUNRISE AND MID MORNING. MODELS GENERALLY SUPPORT THIS IN SHOWING 
NEGATIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION/PREDOMINATE DOWNWARD VERTICAL VELOCITY 
AND SHRINKING MOISTURE LAYER IN LOW LEVELS AFTER 18Z. THUS HAVE  
LEFT A MENTION OF SHOWERS IN THE FIRST 6 HOURS OF THE FORECAST. THE 
ONLY OTHER LINGERING PROBLEM IS THE HIGH SURF. THE SMALL CRAFT 
ADVISORY WAS ALREADY DROPPED AND EXPECT TO CANCEL HIGH SURF ADVISORY 
AT 6 AM. IF SHOWERS HAVE NOT REDEVELOPED OVER WATER/COASTAL ZONES AT 
THAT TIME...MAY ELIMINATE THEM IN THE ZONE UPDATE AT THAT TIME.   
FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY BUILDING HIGH 
PRESSURE...SURFACE AND ALOFT...COUPLED WITH MILD OFFSHORE 
FLOW...WILL PROVIDE CLEAR SKIES AND WARMER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES. 
ONLY OTHER SHORT TERM THREAT WORTH CONSIDERING IS FROST/FREEZE 
TONIGHT/SUNDAY NIGHT UNDER CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS. 
MOS GUIDANCE IS STILL LATE FROM 28/00Z MODEL RUN. IF IT'S IN BEFORE 
0600 PST MAY REMATCH TEMP GRIDS AND INCLUDE CHANGES IN ZONE UPDATE.  

.MEDIUM RANGE...SAW THE 00Z EXTENDED PROGS, THEY ARE STILL IN 
AGREEMENT WITH EARLIER RUN ON TIMING OF OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION 
REACHING SW SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY/ORANGE COUNTY MONDAY AFTERNOON 
WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND COLD 
UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TUESDAY. MODIFIED POP 
GRIDS UPWARD FORM WHAT I HAD INHERITED OTHERWISE TREND OF FORECAST
OKAY. NEXT SHIFT MIGHT WANT TO JACK THEM UP SOME MORE. LEFT DAYS 5 
THROUGH 7 UNALTERED AS THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MEDIUM 
RANG E MODELS ON WHETHER THE LOW WILL LEAVE A HANG BACK TROUGH OR A 
BROAD FLAT RIDGE WILL BUILD IN.  

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.

In helping my niece resurch on teen pregnancy, we did a
"websearch" for Teen. As many sites were offered, we noticed one
site called "Coalition for positive sexuality Sex Ed for teens", 
this sounds as though we may find information on teen pregnancy
here.  However,  the first page you enter states in no uncertain
terms that this web-site is considered illegal by Federal
Government legislation.  We promptly left the site.
If we are able to come to the site so ealily, why is it still
there?  Is the Government doing anything to fine the people who
list websites like this?  I hate to  imagine what is actually
there!  To think our children can access garbage by looking up
something on a search like the work "Teen".  Who do I complain
to? The FCC?

             BASLE COMMITTEE ISSUES INTERPRETATION 
                     ON TIER 1 ELIGIBILITY


     The Basle Committee on Banking Supervision has issued an interpretation on instruments
that are eligible for Tier 1 regulatory capital treatment under the Basle capital framework
of the Basle Accord.  The Basle Accord was endorsed by the G-10 Governors in 1988 and
applies to internationally active banks.
 
     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency (OCC) will work with the other U.S. banking agencies to determine how the
Basle Committee interpretation will be applied to U.S. banks.  While the U.S. banking
regulators are reviewing the implementation of the Basle Accord interpretation, state non-
member and national banks should continue to follow the regulatory capital rules that are
currently in place.

     The Basle Committee's interpretation reaffirms the importance of ensuring that the
predominant form of Tier 1 capital in the Basle Accord framework is in the form of common
shareholders' funds.  The interpretation also highlights the need for banks to periodically
disclose each component of Tier 1 capital and its main features.

     The interpretation details the Committee's determination that minority interests in
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries that take the form of special purpose vehicles
(SPVs) may be included in Tier 1 capital provided they meet certain criteria.  The criteria
include permanence and the ability to absorb losses within the bank on a going-concern
basis.  
                             
                        
     The Committee has also determined that moderate step-ups in instruments issued directly
or through SPVs may also be included in Tier 1 capital if the step-up occurs at a minimum of
ten years after the issue date.  The aggregate amount of noncommon equity Tier 1 instruments
with any explicit feature, other than a pure call option, which might lead to the instrument
being redeemed is limited to 15 percent of the consolidated bank's Tier 1 capital at
issuance.  This interpretation is subject to review as part of the Basle Committee's efforts
to reassess the present framework for evaluating banks' capital adequacy.

     The Basle Committee consists of senior representatives of bank supervisory authorities
and central banks from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.  The Committee
usually meets at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basle, Switzerland, where
its permanent Secretariat is located.

     The Basle Committee's press release can be accessed on the Internet at www.bis.org or
by contacting the Basle Committee Secretariat at the Bank for International Settlements.

QUESTION:
What is the boiling point of water on Mars?

ANSWER from Bruce Jakosky on February 8, 2000:
On Earth, water boils when the pressure of water vapor in equilibrium with
liquid water is the same as the total atmospheric pressure.  At sea level,
this happens at a temperature of 100 degrees C.  At this temperature, liquid
water spontaneously turns to vapor, as the pressure of the atmosphere is no
longer able to contain the water in liquid form.  At higher elevations on
Earth, the total atmospheric pressure is lower, and the boiling temperature
is lower.

On Mars, the total atmospheric pressure is about 6.1 millibars, or about
6/1000 of the pressure at the surface of the Earth.  For water vapor in
equilibrium with liquid water to have this pressure, the temperature has to
be very close to 0 degrees C.

Interestingly, at some of the higher elevations on Mars, the total pressure
is lower than this, and water will boil at even lower temperatures.  As
liquid water cannot exist at temperatures below 0 degrees C--it freezes to
ice--the situation can arise in which ice "boils", or goes directly from
solid to vapor.

Pattern Recognition Analysis and Classification Modeling of Selenium-Producing 
Areas

David L. Naftz, U.S. Geological Survey

Summary:

Established chemometric and geochemical techniques were applied to water 
quality data from 23 National Irrigation Water Quality Program (NIWQP) study 
areas in the Western United States. These techniques were applied to the NIWQP 
data set to identify common geochemical processes responsible for mobilization 
of selenium and to develop a classification model that uses major-ion 
concentrations to identify areas that contain elevated selenium concentrations 
in water that could pose a hazard to water fowl. Pattern recognition 
modeling of the simple-salt data computed with the SNORM geochemical program 
indicate three principal components that explain 95% of the total variance. 
A three-dimensional plot of PC 1, 2 and 3 scores shows three distinct clusters 
that correspond to distinct hydrochemical facies denoted as facies 1, 2 and 3. 
Facies 1 samples are distinguished by water samples without the CaCO3 simple 
salt and elevated concentrations of NaCl, CaSO4, MgSO4, Na2SO4 simple salts 
relative to water samples in facies 2 and 3. Water samples in facies 2 are 
distinguished form facies 1 by the absence of the MgSO4 simple salt and the 
presence of the CaCO3 simple salt. Water samples from in facies 3 are 
similar to samples in facies 2, with the absence of both MgSO4 and CaSO4 
simple salts. Water samples in facies 1 have the largest selenium 
concentration (10 ug/l), compared to a median concentration of 2.0 ug/l and 
less than 1.0 ug/l for samples in facies 2 and 3. A classification model using 
the soft independent modeling by class analogy (SIMCA) algorithm was 
constructed with data from the NIWQP study areas. The classification model was 
successful in identifying water samples with a selenium concentration that 
is hazardous to some species of water-fowl from a test data set comprised 
of2,060 water samples from throughout Utah and Wyoming. Application of 
chemometric and geochemical techniques during data synthesis analysis of 
multivariate environmental databases from other national-scale environmental 
programs such as the NIWQP could also provide useful insights for addressing 
`real world' environmental problems.

...HAZE FROM CENTRAL AMERICAN FIRES AFFECTING SOUTHEAST TEXAS...

PERSISTENT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE SPREADING HAZE AND SMOKE FROM 
CENTRAL AMERICAN FIRES TOWARDS SOUTHEAST TEXAS. 

EACH YEAR FROM MID APRIL THROUGH MID MAY...THOUSANDS OF AGRICULTURAL 
FIRES ARE STARTED IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...GUATEMALA AND BELIZE TO 
PREPARE FIELDS FOR CROP PRODUCTION. HAZE AND SMOKE FROM THESE FIRES 
CAN TRAVEL NORTHWARD INTO TEXAS...BUT THE AMOUNT THAT AFFECTS US 
VARIES FROM YEAR TO YEAR. IN MAY OF LAST YEAR...UNUSUALLY DRY 
CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT IN CENTRAL AMERICA LEADING TO A HIGH AMOUNT 
OF SMOKE PRODUCTION. SOUTHEAST TEXAS WAS LOCKED IN A STAGNANT 
WEATHER PATTERN WITH PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST WINDS DRAWING MUCH OF THE 
SMOKE AND HAZE INTO OUR AREA. THIS YEAR...WETTER CONDITIONS AND 
GREENER VEGETATION ARE PRESENT IN THE FIRE BURNING AREAS WHICH 
SHOULD LEAD TO MUCH LESS SMOKE GENERATION.  

MICROSCOPIC PARTICLES CONTAINED WITHIN THE HAZE AND SMOKE CAN BE A 
LUNG IRRITANT CAUSING ASTHMA AND ALLERGY PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO THE 
TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (TCEQ)...PARTICULATE LEVELS 
HAVE REACHED THE MODERATE CATEGORY ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS. AT THIS 
LEVEL...OFFICIALS RECOMMEND THAT THOSE WITH ASTHMA AND ALLERGY 
PROBLEMS LIMIT THEIR OUTDOOR EXPOSURE.  

THE HAZE WILL AFFECT SOUTHEAST TEXAS THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. AT THIS 
TIME...PARTICULATE LEVELS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED THE MODERATE 
CATEGORY. FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY...AN APPROACHING COLD 
FRONT WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL MITIGATE 
HAZE PROBLEMS. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST 
TEXAS SUNDAY NIGHT. NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO 
EXTEND THE BREAK IN HAZY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION...PLEASE CONTACT THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON

RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
I fully support the approval of genetically engineered (GE)foods. Please 
 fast track this important issue so that consumers can begin to reap the 
benefits of such technology.

Despite the scare tactics of overzealous consumer groups, these foods are 
greatly needed and represent a tremendous human advancement.

The opponents of these foods don't have one single shred of evidence to 
support any of their claims.  Instead they say these foods "could" cause 
allergic reactions, "could" have lower nutritional values, etc.

It is precisely this rhetoric that ruins the validity of public opinion 
polls on these matters.

People think this stuff is bad for you, when there is no evidence 
whatsoever to indicate that.

The rules requiring notificaiton are sufficient.  In our marketplace, 
consumers should be allowed to have the final say on what is good for 
them.  If there is no demand for these products, they will go away.

But, people will find, they are needed and useful and should be allowed to 
be introduced.


Sincerely,

WILLIAM TOD HELMUTH.
William Tod Helmuth, the well-known sur-
geon and homeopathist, was born in Philadelphia,
October 30, 1833. He was educated at St.
Timothy's College, Baltimore, and in 1850 began
studying medicine. He graduated in 1853 and
began practice in Philadelphia, leaning towards
surgery more than towards medicine. He removed
to St. Louis in 1858 and was one of the founders
of the Missouri Homeopathic Medical College, in
which college he became professor of anatomy.
He was also surgeon of the Good Samaritan Hos-
pital. In 1859, he married a Miss Pritchard of
St. Louis. Later on, in 1869, he organized the
St. Louis College of Homeopathic Physicians
and Surgeons, of which he became the dean and
professor of surgery, but the following year he
removed to New York where he became professor
of surgery in the Homeopathic Medical College
and surgeon to the Hahnemann and New York
Surgical hospitals.
He published several medical and humorous
books. His first work was, " Surgery, and its
Adaptation to Homeopathic Practice" (1855).
I am informed that this book called the attention
of the homeopathic physicians of St. Louis to
him, and led to his shortly afterwards taking up
his habitation in the Mound City. His other

bers. The Mexican woman, half dead with terror and
fatigue, was carried into a hut, where she was provided
with clothes, and conveyed to Castroville. After a little
rest, she related to us her adventures, which were well
attested by the dreadful wounds which she had received.
Castroville itself was at one time thrown into a state
of consternation by a fearful tragedy. Four Alsacians
had disappeared : the butcher who had hung the Swiss ;
a child eleven years of age who had lived with him ; and
two young colonists who lived with their father near us.
On Christmas Eve these unfortunate people went to fetch
their cattle, and to cut wood near the San Hyeronimo,
but unguardedly they fell asleep under a tree, and in
this state they were surprised by Indians, who pinned
the two youngest victims to the earth with their arrows.
The two others awoke from their sleep, and being quite
unarmed, made all the resistance they could. How they
fought no one can tell, but the combat must have been
long and obstinate, for in one place we found the broken
blade of a lance ; in another, a lance with its iron twisted,
and the grass trodden down in a most remarkable
manner. The victims had endeavoured, no doubt, to seize
the arms of their enemies, for the hands of each were
cut and hacked in a shocking manner, and their bodies
were riddled with arrows. The butcher had run away,
but he fared even worse than the others. The dead
body of his companion was found twenty yards further
off. The latter evidently tried to escape by flight ; but
an arrow was sent right through his body, piercing
the spinal marrow in its passage. We were not able to
discover the tribe which had committed this frightful
butchery, for the grooves of the arrows were of different
forms.    When the Indians go on marauding excursions,
