Some Hones.y Sill Left.

In these days of prevailing
mural obliquity, such examples
of old time honesty as the follow
ing are peculiarly noticeable, and
are cheering signs that there's
some honesty in the land yet !:
A lady residing on Prince street
in this city received last week,
from gentleman in st. Louis, a
cueck for a considerable sum Of
money, accompanied with letter
informing her that some property
he had lately bought from her had
increased so much in value that
hethought he had not paid enough
for it, and that the check would
make up the deficiency. The
lady returned the check, with a
letter stating that as he had
bought the property at her own
price she could not consent TO re-
ceive any more for il than he had
at first paid.-Alerondria Va

The Use Of Fallen Leaves

In the Gardeners Monthly, Mr.. Nee
hau says: These have to be gathered up
They are excellent TO mix with hot-bed
material, and, where practicable, should
be saved for this purpose. They do
not heat so rapidly as stable manure,
aud in this have an advantage as tenn
pering its violence, makingi it last lon-
ger, aud maintaining more regular
heat. They are excellent material to
put around cold frames to protect half
hardy plants. A board is put up the
height of the frame boards, about foot
or more from them, and the leaves filled
in between. II the plants are some
wkat tender, the bottom Of the frames
may be filled iu few feet with the
leaves. Much heat is thrown of doring
the decomposition of the leaves, which,
though not enough TO keep out severe
frosts; yet modifies somewhat the tenn
perature. These leaves, after they
have been two or three years decayiog,
make admirable STUFF tor posting and
flowers in general.

Col. Hunters Vast Stock
Farm

The raache of John S. Chrisum, Of
Bosque Grand New Mexico, was sold to
Col. r. ID. Hunter, Of st. Louis, the
other day, for $4,000, one half cash
down. The purchase includes the tbir-
ty thousand cattle.uow on the rancho.
During The past year Mr.. Cbrisum has
sold to Colorado, Kansas City, and St.
Louis buyers about twenty thousand
head Of beef cattle. Besides this he has
supplied some eight thousand head TO
contractors 10 New Mexico and Arizona.
The ranch extends along the Pecos river
from Fort Summer to Seven rivers, a
distance OF one hundred aud fifty miles.
This is its scope north and south. East
and west it extends as far on each side
of the stream as stock can range with
out water, The range on both sides of
the river is high, rolling prairie, covered
with thick heavy growth of black
gremma, most nutritious grass. Dur
ing the past summer the grass over
much OF this area has stood knee high
to cattle. The residence bulldogs are
situated 10 the centre of the ranch.
statious' or COW camps, are on the river
at intervals Of thirty or forty miles. Two
hundred herders have been employed
on the ranch the past summer. AT one
time this season the horses numbered
six Thousand head. A successful raid
by redskins reduced this number about
one thousand. Col. Hunter, the pHr-
chaser of this vast estate, will engage
more extensively than Mr.. Chisum in
the breeding bssioess. He has just
brought two hundred saddle horses for
use at the February round up.-Den-

The Story Of a Christmas
Gift.
From the N, Y. Ti-i6ame.)

From the ~, x. I1'l6aRe.)
The story of a Christmas gift
made two years ago comes to us
in time 10 carry lis meaning 10
such of our readers as have no
money TO give away. A lady
travelling in Europe in 1871 was
taken by her friends 10 visit a
small asylum in the South of
France for poor and deformed
children, where a good Protes-
tant pastor and his vile took thsm
in, reared them with the tender
ness OF a father and mother, and
taught them occupations by which
they could at proper age earn
their own living The American
was very much interested and
touched, and remained for week
in the little farmhouse, studying
closely the management of the
pupils. After the Franco-Prus-
sian war, she learned by chance
item in a newspaper, that in con-
sequence of the poverty ofthe peo-
pie, The asylum, which had de-
pCHoSuOu NOiuutdi v SOHtliuotiObo,
must soon be closed, and its help
less inmates turned adrift on the
world. She had no money, and,
indeed, no thought of obtaining
any, but, in The fullness of her
sympathy, she wrote a descrip-
ton of her visit to the asylum for
one of the magazines. The story
Of the old pastor and his lile's la
Dor of love, told with The simple
ity and magnetism of real feeling,
was read by man ofgreat wealth
in this city, and in few months
later, about Christmas time, the
lady who told it heard that through
her means The asylum WIS endow-
ed with sum which would sup
port ii for at least two years lou
ger. She had not known, as none
Of us can know, how great har-
vest few kindly words would

'Uur system OF caring for va

times. There should be no public
lodging-rooms attsched to any po-
lice station. They cause dirt and
vermin and diseases among pri-
soners and officers. which nothing
can prevent If the city n ust pro-
vide lodging-houses for the desti-
tute, let them be entirely devoted
to that purpose. Offer the dodgers
a chance to wash. ana give in the
morning a cup of coffee and roll.
Then they will have tho heart to
go and find something TO do Now
we turn them into the street at day
light unwashed and unfed. In
less than ten minutes they can
feel the marrow freezing in their
bones, and grow reckless of their
behavior. A cup of coffee and a
roll would make "A citizen OF many
an outcast."

The Journal of Health says: To
regain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from all ankle
ty concerning diseases. The mind
has power over the body. For a
person 10 think he has a diseas e
will often produce that disease.
This we see effected when the
mind is intensly concentrated
upon the disease of another. 1t
is found in the hospitals that sur
geons and physicians who make
a specially of certain diseases are
liable to die OF it themselves and
the mental power is so great that
sometimes people die of disease
which they only have in imagi-
nation. We have seen a person
seasick in anticipation of Il voyage
before reaching the vessel. We
have Known a person 10 die OF
cancer ia the stomach when he
had no cancer or any other NOR
tai disease. A blindfold man,
slightly pricked in The arm, has
tainted and died from believing
that he was bleeding TO deaih.
Therefore well persons, to remain
well, should be cheerful and hap
by and sick persons should have
their attention drawn as much as
possible from themselves. 1t is
by their faith men are saved, and
it is by their faith men die. If
he wills not to die he can even
live in spite of disease and if he
his little or no attachment TO life
he will slip away as easily as a
child will fall asleep. Men live
by their souls, and not by tnelr
bodies. Their bodies have no
life OF themselves, they are only
resources of life-tehemenls of
their souls. The will has much
to do in continuing the physical
occupancy or giving it up.
