A MoruER Dies AT HER DAUGHTER
DEArHBED.-About o'clock last night
Mr.. James Abbott and his wife, who
were spending the evening at the house
of relative, were called home by a
hurried message that their daughter,
Annabella, was at the point of death at
their residence, No $50 Lee street.
When they arrived in the daughters
room the young lady lay dead on
lounge. The mother, on beholding the
corpse, was so much shocked and grieved
that she sank to the floor unconscious.
The persons in the room, supposing she
had tainted, tried in every way to re-
store her, and sent for DIR. 5. a. Bell,
who arrived in a short time. She was
then apparently dead and pulseless.
The physician applied the galvanic bat
terry and used other means, but without
effect. He pronounced her lifeless, and
that death had resulted in all probabili-
ty from congestion of the system, caused
by grief. Mrs. Abbott was 80 years
old, of medium height, but robust figure
weighing about $50 pounds. She had
previously been in good health, and bad
never been known 20 have any affection
of the heart. Miss Abbott was about
Is years old, and had been an invalid,
all her life.
The scene at the house was most al
fecting. Mr.. Abbott was rendered al
most frantic by the double catastrophe.
He cuug to the dead body of bis wife
and for long time refused to leave it.
The spectators were greatly affected at
the sad sight. The dead body of his
young lady lying on the lounge, that of
the mother on the floor beside her, and
the husband bending over her. A large
number of Deighbors and friends offer
ed assistance, and a crowd of about fifty
persons gathered in front Of the house
as the news spread through the vicni-
ty. Mr.. Abbott is about forty-fve years
old, boilermaker by trade, and has
other children. The couple lost their
Youngest child, an infant, from scarlet
fever about month ago.-Bah. Sun.

Hon. Thomas Wren, Congressman
elect from this State, has been inter-
viewed on the political situation by a
reporter of the Carson Appeal. Mr..
Wren. if correctly reported. has ex-
perienced change of heart since he
stumped the State last Fall. Then he
advocated btyonet rule in the South as
the only effectual method of keeping
the rebels in objection and maintain
ing Republican form Of government
in those States Now. be believes il to
be the duty of every Republican to act
IN harmony with the President That
is to support him in carrying out the

National Convention at st. Louis. 1t
is remarkable how easily ineu like
Wren. who waved the bloody shirt
standard III the last campaign, surren-
der what they called 'the principles of

it must be- II source of eradication to
Democrats to know that the policy
they advocated in the last campaign is
now being approved By the most radical

RECONCILIATION.

To KEEP LEMoNs.-Lemons can be
kept a long time in silver sand perfectly
dried. Place the stem end of the lemon
down and leave them three inches apart I;
keep in a cool place.
AMMONIA CAKE.-One cupful butter,
two of sugar, three of -four, one-half pint
of cream, a piece of ammonia the size OF
a small hickory nut, one pound of fruit,
three eggs, reserving the white of ne.
This cake should not be cut for two
weeks it will keep q long time.
WAsHING.-For ordinary washing, use
a tablespoonful of borax to every five
gallons of water, and two ounce of soap;
soak the clothes in this I'VE night; give
them a thorough boiling without wash
ing. When tie clothes are very much

gallons of water, without soap. 1t will
not shrink them. For starching linen,
use one te~aspoonful of borax to four pints
of boiling starch. For washing and
bleaching laces, put n t~easpoontul of
borax to one pint of boiling water, leave
your articles to soak in the solution for

Sheep raising seems destined to be the
great productive industry of the terri
tory. Animmense area of pastoral lands,
covered with abundant and nutritious
grasses, await occupation. The gramma
and mesquit grasses are especially valu-
able, as q natural process of curing in the
dry season renders them available for
winter feeding. Stocks of all kinds
thrive upon this diet. and cattle become
almost as fat as stall-fed Merino sheep
were introduced from Spain three hun.
dred and thirty-six years ago, and have
grown, with very little effort at improve
ment. Yet, although they have degen-
Grated in size and quality of fleece, their
mutton is excellent. .JudiciOus crosses
have been made, with encouraging re-
suits. The increase of lambs amounts to
about one hundred per cent. of the mum
Der of ewes-and a flock of 5000 ewes
and one hundred rams may be expected
in one year to increase to 10000, of
which 1900 will be ewes, and $500 rams
and wethers, the increase being neatly
equally divided between the sexes. The
wool clip from 5000 sheep, at one and
one.half pounds per head, would amount
to 1850 pounds, which, at twenty-five
cents a pound, brings 81, 6S3 for the wool
clip of the FIRST year alone. The ex-
pense of keeping is estimated at 1865,
leaving 1913 for investment in high
grade rams. The second year, then, will
open with 1900 ewes and $3.50 rams.
If the former again double, there are
$4,000 sheep at the end of the second
year, of which 1880 will be ives and
6,400 rams and wethers. OF these,
10, $50 will shear about three pounds per
head, or 30,450 pounds, of improved
quality, which, at twenty-eight cents
per pound, brings $500. At this point
$500 yearlings wathers may be sold for
enough to purchase 1000 ewes and one
hundred rams. At the beginning of the
third year this will give II, 1850 ewes and
1000 rams and wethers-16,S $50 sheep in
all.
By converting wethers into valuable
rams and ewes, the process may be con
tinued, if judicious regard be had to all
the circumstances. Another element of
profit is found in the fact that the fleece
improves in price as it increases in weight.
These figures are said to be indications
of what has been successfully achieved
in New Mexico.-Report Department Of
agriculture.
