Plucky Girls.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Decovey, of West
Exchange street, being absent from home,
their two elder daughters, Gertrude, six
teen, and Eva, fourteen years of age, keep
the house and have the care OF three young
children. On Tuesday night last,O rather
Wednesday morning about l O'Clock, Ger
trud sleeping in the chamber, was awak-
ened by noise outside the house, and, on
going TO the window, discovered a man
working at the blinds of the bedroom be-
low, occupied by Eva and the youngest
child. On finding that he was discovered,
the man sprang from the window and par
TALLY concealed himself behind some OBJ
iectS few feet distant from the house.
Gertrude several times called to him that,
if he did not want to get shot, he had bet
ter clear out" but he maintained his pO-
sitiOn. By this time Eva had become
awakened, and, Selling a loaded revolver,
in the use of which she had some practice,
rushed up stairs. Gertrude again called
upon the rascal to leave if he didn't want
to get shot, and. as he did not stir, she
pointed out his whereabouts to Eva, who
held the revolver in the direction indicated
and blazed away. The fellow fell forward
upon his hands and knees, and then rails
ing himself apparently with great diff
Guilty, made off into an adjoining field.
After daylight, the girls made reconnOis-
Sance of the premises and the adjoining
field, and not only the tracks of the wound
ed fugitive were plainly traced, but one
place was found where he had evidently
lain down and rolled upon the grass as il
in great agony.-Akroa (O.) Beacon.

Colorado and New Mexico for Stock
Growing and Grazing.

There was never a season that so fully
illustrated the advantage of these terrific
ries, as the present one. A succession OF
heavy SHOWS during the winter, extending
over the whole eastern portion of the ter
ritories. afforded an ample amount o.
moisture. and the result is, that the grass
is now up vigorously-and for the balance
of the wear they may expect to see the
whole face of the country clothed in a
mantle of living green. For the raising
of sheep. the prospect is especially flatter-
ing. There was an abundance of young
grass at the period of lambing, and this
has insured the largest possible Increase OF
fiocks, The considerable loss of lambs
which the unusual drouth of last winter
occasioned will not be witnessed this
year, and it is indeed very unusual oc-
currence in New Mexico and southern
Colorado, the percentage of increase be-
ing commonly measured simply by the
productive powers of the hocks. The
pre-eminent advantages which New MeXl-
co and Colorado offer % wool growers, are
fast becoming known and appreciated.
Within the last six months large number
of enterprising men from California have
gone there for the purpose OF engaging IN
the sheep business, and from them we
learn that there will soon be large immI-
grafton from that quarter. The fact Is, the
sheep ranges have become almost exhaust
ed in many portions of that State. by eX-
cessive grazing, the native grass has been
killed. while the price of land has become
SO great as to materially reduce the profits
of the business. In casting about for
a new field of operations, these men have
decided upon New Mexico and Colorado,
hin in, oil
other known section. The united testi-
mony of all those who have gone there is,
that the climate. the excellence of the
grasses. and the extended ranges which
they possess, render these territories the
most desirable location in the United States
for their business. We may expect TO see
MANY large flocks of fine sheep taken into
that country during the coming season,
and thew will be welcomed as valuable adj
ditions to the productions of those regions.
There is ample room for all. From the
mountains TO the 1 eXas border there is one
continuous, magnificent range, in any
portion of which may be found shelter,
water and grass. There is no doubt that
in a few wears New Mexico and Colorado
will be the greatest wool producing
States In the Union-and the present in
f1ux of enterprising CalifOrnians, having
both capital and experience, will be an inn
portant factor in the achievement of this
result.
The one important matter in connection
with sheep and cattle growing in these re-
gions seems to be entirely Overlooked-it
Is the entire disregard that the people have
for blooded stock or improved breeds.
With the advantages offered in these terri
tories. of feed, water and climate, the fin
est breeds would become three times as
profitable as the common breeds grown.
VIII these gentlemen take step forward
improve their breeds and supply the
world with all the grades of wool needed

Geology Of the West.

Among the geological deductions OF
the Wheeler expedition, are the following
All that portion of the United States wei
of the Plains is characterized by cOrruga-
ton: that is, the geological, formations
once horizontal have been bent and brok-
en- and thrown into ridges, so as to pro-
duce a mountainous country. The ridges
vary greatly as to height and length, bur
agree in general northerly trend, so that
in traveliI 9 north and sOuthit is generally
easy to follow valleys, while in going east
or west one is confronted by range after
range that he must climb or go around. In
the lower parts of this great mountain sys-
TEN, the slow but interchangeable agencies
of rain and stream have accumulated SO
great an amount of detritus that the val
leys are clOgged and the mountains nearly
or quite buried.
In this way have been produced the
great desert plains of Utah, Arizona and
Southern California, vast seas of mud and
saline clay. from the surface of which a
few half-sunken peaks jut forth as Islands,
The intermiSsionS of the mountainous
character are mere cOncealments, not III
terruptiOns, of the corrugated structure
but that structure is interrupted In one
place-perhapS in others, but in one nota'
bly-by tract in which the strata are al
most undisturbed.
The general surface of this exceptional
region lies from 5000 to 5000 feet above
the ocean, and is intersected by the cele,
brated canons of the Colorado and its trib,
utaries. By these gOrges, and by otheI
notifications, chiefly dependent on ero-
sion, it is divided into great number Of
plateaus, which the surveys now in pro,
gress are defining and naming. The ge,
ologists of the expedition have found il
convenient to designate the region, con,
sidered as a geological province, as the re-
gion of the plateaus, or the Colorado pla-
teau system. 1t is surrounded on all sides
by areas of corruSatiOn, the range at the
east constituting the Rocky Mountain sys'
TEN proper, those at the west having beer
designated as the Cordlleras. At the
north and south these mountain areas CO.

Cholera.

There NAV come another cholera scare
this year; certainly there will come one
before many years. Some doctors think
the scare worse than the disease. AT any
rate. the nervous depression produced by
reading and hearing alarming stories is a
well proven semi-cause of death, by
diseases which affect the nervous system,
whether alone or conformity with other
disorders: and sometimes light ones are
aggravated to the bitter end by imaginary
fears. knowing the force of this fact, as
all experienced people do, it seems hap
DIV thing to find an antidote, as far as chol-
era scares are concerned, in the following
statement: DIR. Blakiston says, in the
London Medical Times and Gazette, that it
has been fully proved in the Paris hospi-
tails that cholera is not communicable by
the breath of the patient, or by contact
with his body during life or after death.
Most of the - stiffS," as they are called in
technical vulgarity-that is, the subjects
of dissection-were for many months vic
tins of cholera in Paris, and yet no doc
tor and no student caught the disease.
Therefore let no timid person have any
fear about the infection of air or touch,
but remember that the germs of cholera
have been proved to be propagated through
the dejecta Weddings iii any way) which
come in contact with water or food, pos
sibly with air much breathed. though this
is not fully shown.
