The NsU N-zicaH of July 2s, has come to hand, containing the first of series of ar ticles upon "Stock Raising in New Mexico" from the pen of Governor Army. This intro ductory article is we'll written, and pregnant with valuable information to stock raisers:
 ' In my travels over large expanse of country within the limits of New Mexico and the eastern borders of Arizona, have found growing wild clover, and several vari- cities of grass which indicate that they can be produced in this country by cultivation.
 IL Is only question of time ani the con struction of railroads when this country in addition to it's native grasses, which may be greatly increased, will have large meadows and pasture grounds of cultivated grasses, and 1t has been for nearly forty years favor ite theory of mine, confirmed by my practi- cal observation, that so far as the quality and relauve coar~eness and tineness of wool is concerned more depends upon the character ot the grass than upon any one thing except 1t may be, the constant change of the breed ing animals. A stock raiser may determine by judiclous selection of his breed and the character of gra's he allows them To use for feed, the quality and quantity of the wool his flock of sheep will produce, and of course the quality of his wool will regulate the price he will get in the market, and deter mine the profit arising from the investment of his capital.

AN amusing incident occurred in a
small farm house, near Bapaume, when
the Uhians made their first appearance in
the neighborhood A fine fat pig formed
part Of the farmers stock, and Its safety
created considerable anxiety 10 both the
farmer aud his wife. On the suggestion
of the latter, the pig was instantly slaEgh'
tered and dressed. This operation was
scarcely concluded when the uhlans near
approach was announced Without loss
Of time, madame placed table In the cen
ter of their room, or house place, on which
she directed her husband 10 place the car
cass Of the pig, over which she immedl-
ately threw clean sheet Candles were
instantly lighted and placed around the
table, and a chapelse afdeHte was impre'
vIsed. "If the Uhlans come, you VIII cay
| am dead !" and, SO whispering, she with
drew. The tread Of horses came up 10
the door; the farmer and the other mem.
bers of his family Immediately knelt
around the dead body The UhlaHs, open
ing the door, entered the house. Inc
leader halted and exclaimed, Mmto!
" Oaei, out, said the mourning husband
"t Ii my wife who Is dead" The lhians
withdrew, the wife came from her htding-
place, and ths pig was not eaten oy lhe

KATRINA ON THE PORCH.


BT ALICE GARY.
AN old old house by the side of the sea,
And never picture poet would paint;
But hold the woman above the saint,
And the light of the hearth il more TO me
Than the shimmer of air-built castle.
1t fits as It grew to the landscape there
. One hardly feels az he stands aloof ID.
Where the sandstons ends, and the rcd SLATE
roof
Just over the window and square,
That looks on the wild sea-water.
From the top of the hill, so green and high
There slopeth level OF golden moss
That bars of scarlet aud amber cross,
And rolling out to the further sky
Is the world of world Of wild sea- water.
Some starved grape vineyards round about
A zigzag road cut deep with ruts
A little cluster of fishere' hds.
Aud the black sand sealioping in and out
TwiXt tn land and tn wild sea-water.
Gray fragments of some border towers
Flat, pell neil on circling mound,
With furrow deeply worn all round
By the feet of children through the flowers,
-iad all by the wild sea-wnter.
And there, from the silvery break o tn day
TIL the evening purple drops 10 the land,
She sits with her cheek like the rose in her hand
And her sad and wistful eyes one way
The way OF the wild sea-water.
And there, from the height till the yellow morr
Falls over the huts and tn sCaops OF sand
A tangle of curls like torch in her hand
Sle sits aud makeEh her moan 80 lorn,
Witt the moan of the wild ssa-water.
Only study for homely eyee,
And eYer picture poet would paint;
Bat hold the woman above the saint,
And the life of the humbest hearth prize
Ger tho luminous aif-built castle.

your attention. Ef
| CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
II mas peen the aim of the Admins
tTation to enforce honesty and efficien.
cy in all public offices. Every nnhlic
servant who has violated the trust
placed in him, has been proceeded
against with all the rigor of the law.
If bad men have secured places. ithas
been the fault of the system establish
ed by law and custom for making ap-
pOintments, or the fault of those who
recommend for Government positions
persons not sufficiently well known to
them personally, Or who give letters
| lndorsIng the character of office-seek-
ers without the proper sense of the
grave responsibility which such a
curse devolves upon them. A civil
| service reform which can correct this
abuse is much desired. In mercantile
pursuits the business man who gives
4 letter Of recommendation to a friend
to enable him to obtain credit from a
stranger is regarded as morally respon-
slble for the integrity of his friend
and his ability to meet his obligations.
A reformatory law which would en-
'orce This principle against all indors-
ers of persons for public place would
insure greater caution in making rec
concentrations.
A salutary lesson has been taught
the careless and dishonest servant in
the great number of prosecutions and
convictions of the last two years. 1t
is gratifying to notice the favorable
change which is taking place through
out the country Infringing to punish
ment those who have proved recreant
to the trusts cOnlided to them, and in
eleyating to public Office none but
those who possess the confidence of
the honest and virtuous, who it will
always be found comprise the majority
of the community in which they live.
In my message to Congress one
year ago, urgently recommended a
.eform in the civil service of the coun-
Try. In conformity with that recon-
mendation, Congress, in the ninth sec
ton Of an act making appropriation
for sundry civil expenses of the Gov
ernment and for other purposes, ap-
proved March 8, 1871, gave the neces-
$ary authority to the Executive to in
augurate civil service reform, and
placed upon him the responsibility of
doing so. Under the authority of
said aw convened bnarl of gentle
men, eminently qualified for the work,
to devise rules and regulations to
effect the needel reform. Their Ia
bors are not yet complete, but it is
believed that they will succeed in de-
vising o. plan which can be adopted to
the great relief of the Executive, the
heads of departments, and members of
CongrCsa, and which will rebound to
the true interest of the public service.
At all events, the experiment shall
have fair trial q ..-.--t ...-
have thus hastily summed up the
operations Of the Government during
the last year, and made such sugges-
tiOns as occur to me to be proper for
your consideration | submit them
with a confidence that your combined
action will be wise, statesmanlike, and
in the best interest of the whole ceun-
Try. .. S. GRANT, President

Interior, submitted with this, will give
You information collected and pre-
pared for publication in regard to the
census, taken during the year 1870,
the operations of the Bureau of Edu
cation for the year, the Patent Office,
the Pension Office, the Land Office
and the Indian Bureau.
The report of the Commissioner Of
Agriculture gives the operations Of
his Department for the year. AS ag
riculture is the ground work of our
prosperity, too much Importance can
not be attached to the labors of this
Department, which is in the hands of
an able head, with able assistants, all
zealously devoted to Introducing into
the agricultural productions OF the
nation all useful products adapted to
any of the various climates and soils
Of our vast territory, and to givingslll
useful information as to the metf5d
of the cultivation of the plants and
cereals or other products adapted to
particular localities. Quietly but surely
the Agricultural Bureau is working a
great national good, and if literally
supported, the more widely its infu-
ence will DO extended, and the less
dependent we shall be upon the pro
ducts of foreign countries.
The subject of compensation to the
heads Of bureau, and officials holding
positions of responsibility, and requir,
ing ability and character to fill proper
ly, is one to which your attention is
invited. But few of the officials re
ceive compensation equal to the re
spectacle support of family, while
their duties are such as to involve mil
lions of interest. In private life ser
vices demand compensation equal to
the services rendered. A wise econo-
my would dictate the same rule in the
Government service.
I have not given the estimates for
the support OF the Government for
the ensuing year, nor the comparative
statement between the expenditures
for the year just passed and the one
just preceding, because all these fig
ures are contained in the accompany
ing reports, or in those presented di-
rectIy to congress. These estimates
have my approval.

= Of all the painful feelings, can
there be any so excruciatingly painful
as bone felon? We know of none that
flesh is heir to. AS this malady is quite
frequent, and subject of much earnest
consideration, we give the latest recipe
for its cure, which is given by high au-
thority-the London Lancet: '.As
soon as the disease is felt, put directly
over the spot fiy-blister, about the
size of a thumb nail, and let it remain
for six hours, at the expiration of
which time, directly under the surface
of the blister may be seen the felon,
which can instantly be taken out with
the point of a needle or lancet"
