JOHN MONTGOMERY came in from San Pedro valley on Wednesday. He informs us that much sickness prevails there, and thinks the causes are the large amount of rain and consequent rank vegetation. He says this Summers growth is surprising, a1d that it would be difficult for stranger to go from point to point in the valley with any certainty Some of the Sum- mer vegetation is ten feet high.
 He says he has what he believes to be the most extensive variety of flowers in Arizona. He has given much more than ordinary attention to the cultivation of vegetables and finds profit ill it.

THE NEW MEXICAN, of Santa Fe, says that the English language is taught in but one-quarter of the schools iu New Mex ico, and declares that English schools are a necessity. It is now twenty-four years since New Mexico was organized into a Territory, and up till within year or two, all schools were taught in Spanish. The supreme court of Texas lately decided that men unacquainted with the English language were incompetent jurors, and The New Mexican says at the recent ses- sion of Congress bill passed one branch of that body requiring that all jurors in U. s. courts must be able to speak, read and write English. That paper is oppos- ed to the passage of the bill now, but thinks the advancing intelligence of the land will soon leaG to such law, and that therefore "there are accumulated and commanding reasons why all the schools of New Mexico, should become English teaching schools

Grama Grass Seed.

Any one who will gather some of this
 seed, can get reasonable price in cash
 for it. We are authorized to buy some for Wm. s. Chapman of San Francisco, for experiment on his lands in the San
 Joaquin and other valleys.
 A granger of lake county, California, writes to The Rural Press, of San Fran cisco, to learn where he can obtain the seed and it's price and when to SOW it.
 We hope that some of our haymakers will look out and procure quantity of the seed and note any peculiarities about the growth of the grass. If any one will bring quart of the seed to THE CITIZEN office, he shall have liberal price for it. The Rural Press advises It's granger in- quirer to send to Santa Fe for it. It ought to be procured in this county as readily and cheaply as at any place in New Mexico. The Press says grama grass grows only in New Mexico and Arizona. We know that land owners in California are very desirous of experimenting in the growth of grama, especially those who own large tracts of dry land in the south ern portion of the State. The gather ing Of the seed might never amount to much as business here, yet little cash could be made at it TOW, and we hope some of our people will gather some and benefit themselves and accommodate our neighbors in California.

Civility and Success.

It is true that it costs some men a
much greater effort to be polite than
others. 1t was said with bitter spleen
of an English statesman -
Canning can never be gentleman
for more than three hours at time. ,
1t is true, too, that there are times in
every mans life when to be even kindly
courteous makes an exhausting draught
on ones patience; but silently to de-
YOUR the many chagrins of life, and to
maintain a respectful bearing toward
others, even under vexation and trial,
is not only a Christian duty, but
worldly policy.
Or. Valentine Mott said wisely to a
graduating class =
Young gentlemen, have two pockets
made-a large one to hold the insults,
and small one to hold the fees"
Hundreds of men have owed their
start in life wholly to their winning ad
dress.
Thank you, my dear" said Lundy
Foote to little beggar girl who bought
a penny-worth of snuff.
"Thank you my dear, please call again
made Lundy Foote millionaire.
Some years ago a dry COOS salesman in
a London shop had such reputation for
courtesy and exhaustless patience, that
it was said to be impossible to provoke
from him any expression Of irritabiIity
or the smallest symptoms Of vexation.
A lady of rank, hearing of his wonder
ful equanimity, determined TO put it to
test by all the annoyances with which a
show visitor knows how to tease shop
man. She failed in the attempt, and
thereupon set him up in business He
rose to eminence in the haberdashery
trade and the handspring of his later
as well as of his early career, #as po-
likeness.
It is related of the l7to Gfr. Butler.
of Providence, r. l., that he was so
obliging as to open his store enc night
solely to supply little girl with spool
of thread which she wanted. The
incident took wind. brought him large
run of custom. and he died a millionaire,

the West Indies and south American
that the heaviest calamities occurred.
The city of Caracas was almost entirely
destroyed by an earthquake and over
100 of the inhabitants killed. A
terrible volcano burst out near the
Island of st. Michael's. From the i'm
mense quantity of lava, ashes and rocks
thrown up from this volcano new
island was formed several miles in
circumference. The disturbances in
the Mississippi ceased coincident with
the earthquake at Caracas.
OUR GRANDFATHER S OPINIONS.
The opinion as to the causes of these
violent outbreaks that prevailed among
American scientific men over sixty
years since was that they were produc-
ed by terrestrial and celestial electrici
"; that from the powerful affinity OF
the two fluids the violent efforts Of
electricity to escape from the earth
produced earthquakes. The ravages
of tornadoes, hurricanes and storms
that occurred during the appearance Of
the comet must have had some causes.
and that it was evident that they were
physically produced, either immedi-
ateiy or remotely, by an extra mundane
agency; for there was, probably. no
matter or physical combination of
matter on the earth possessing sufficient
power to combine so much phenomena
in so short time. So the conclusion
was that the comet was the cause Of all
the trouble in 1911 But the gaseous
nature Of the meteor was we'll under
stood. Possessing this unsubtsanial
character, it might be as we'll to at
tempt to ascertain how far cloud,
driven against a mountain, will tend to
break off its top as speculate upon any
danger to the earth from a collision
with a comet. The effect of such a
meeting would be the mixture of its
gaseous matter with the atmosphere
and a probable rise of the barometer,
though there is no evidence to make it
! probable that all the comets in exist
ence, if put together, would have the
mass sufficient to produce a sensible
effect Of the kind. If, however, the
gaseous matter should condense sufi-
ciently to descend to the lower regions
of our atmosphere, some effect might
be produced on animal and vegetable
life, as likely good as bad.
