The Man Of the Southwest.
ON Edward Kings Sketches.

From Edward Kings Sketches. .-.,..s..x=zaezrsa
The Southwestern man is usually large
in stature, sinewy yet spare of frame, and
nature has favored him with manly and
graceful bearing. There is freedom in
his walk and a p;cturesQueness in his
speech which makes him marked man
the moment he ventures out OF his own
section. Perhaps only a generation ago
he emigrated from New En- Gland or
Northern New York to Texas, or Ar
kansas, or Missouri, but the ichor. in his
blood seems to have been changed in
that time; he is a new man. Even his
methods of thought are different The
man of the Southwest possesses many of
the good and few Of the bad traits of the
Southern character. The energy of the
West is always at hand to correct his
nature when it seems liable to succumb
to the Incidence of the South: He abhors
the llstlessness which allows property to
go to decay, fences to rot, and lands 10
become exhausted simply because the
owner is too lazy to arrest the downward
progress. After the war had passed he
ssprang into an abnormal activity for the
purpose Of repairing the ravages which
had occurred in the disastrous years. The
Southwesterncr has not made himself 50
we'll known as the Californian, but some
dav he will be studied carefully, and will
afford richer material for the romancer
and the essayiist than is TO be found on
the Pacific Coast. TX.

Skiliful Surgery.

From the Washington Post.
The startling rumor of Justice Miller's
dangerous condition yesterday caused
much excitement and an almost constant
stream Of callers at his residence. The
truth is that the gentleman has under
gone an operation, known among sur
geons as capital one, but was, at late
hour last evening, doing better even than
could be hoped or expected. He had
been suffering for considerable time
with stones in the bladder, and though
the family physician Dr., J. G. Riley, had
done all for the case that lay in the ply
sician's power, it lately became evident
that radical means would have to be
adopted to effect cure.
After much consultation and CORE
spondence the Justice deter mined to sub.
NIT to an operation at the hands of Dr. A.
P. Smith, of Baltimore. Judge Miller at
one time contemplated going to England
to place himself under the care of Sill
Henry Thompson, who operated On Ma.
poleon III i, but on comparing records
found that while DR.. Thompson lost
about one out of every twelve cases
DR.. Smith had made fifty three entirely
successful operations without losing a
case Accordingly, on Saturday at l
o'clock Drs. A.P. Smith, J. G. Riley, n
$. Lincoln and J. s. Beale. assembled in
the patients bedroom, and after DR.. Ri
ley had obtained complete an@sthesis by
means of chloroform and ether, the later
al operation of lithotomy was performed
by DR.. Smith, assisted by other physi-
clans. Mr.. Miller was quickly restored
to consciousness. and bore the subsequent
treatment with great fortitude. DR.. Smith
stayed with him all night, and left him
yesterday morning doing excellently
The stone removed was as large as a
small hens egg.

The Turquoise.

The beautiful gem known as: the tur
quoise is so celebrated for its peculiar
tint of blue that it has given a descrip-
tive name to that soft, rich color known
as turquoise blue. YET, though so love
~, the color is not permanent, but
changes and fades out by age and expo
sure to the light. It is said that the
color can be restored by keeping the gem
a long time in the dark, There are two
kinds Of turquoise stone, known as the
oriental and the occidental turquoise,
The former is the best and has the most
permanent color. It is found in Turkey
and Persia, also in Siberia, and has a
different chemical composition from the
after. The occidental turquoise is found
Lo wer Languedoc, in the southeast
f France, and is fossil ivory, colored
with the phosphate of iron. The other
is tri-phosphate of alumina, and de
rives its color from the oxides of iron and
copper.

Portuguese Courtship.

The young men Of Portugal have one
occupation more important than wearing
tight boots, ana which almos:, in fact,
goes with it-that of making the very
m1ldest form Of love known among men.
The young gentlemen pay their address
es by simply standing in front OF the
house occupied by. the object of their af.
fections, while: the young. person in
question looks down approvingly from
an upper window, and there the matter
ends. They are not within speaking dis
lance, and have to content themselves
with expressive glances and dumb show,
for it would be thought highly unbe-
coming for the young lady to allow a
6izzet-dour to futtcr down into the street,
while the laws Of gravitations stand in
the way of the upward flight Of such a
document, unweighted, at least, with a
stone. and this, of course, might risk
giving the young lady a black eye, or
breaking her fathers window panes. So
the lovers there remain, often for
hours, feeling no doubt very happy, but
looking unutterably foolish. These silent
courtships sometimes continue for very
long periods before the lover can ask the
fatal question, or the lazy return the
nal answer.

Twilight shadows round them falling
Soft a lullaby is singing:

On their way cen Row they may be,

And the bees will follow quickly
Gold brown wings and jackets sunny
Ever humming pretty stories,
OF the dew and fragrant honey,
And they'll draw their swords so slender,
But they'll, only, love, in play be;
Never vet was bee would frighten--"

Many sparkling stars are peeping.

Then THO sunbeams bright shall waken-"
