Building is going on in Rome at
great rate. In fact there appears to
be bona fido real estate "boom" in
the ancient city. In all quarters the
mason, the carpenter and the stone
cutter are busy, mostly in the erection
of residences, and the decade will prob
ably show a large increase in the pop
ulation of the capital of Italy. So
rapid indeed in the march of improve
ments that much concern is felt by
those Of artistic or antiquarian tastes.
and the proposition is made that in
the case of the demolition of any edi-
fee possessing historal CT artistic im-
portance its memory shall be preserv-
ed by means of plans and photographs
to be deposited in the Capital with the
view of forming kind of topograph-
ical museum.

MENNoNIrEs IN KANSAS The largest
body OF people in this country keep
ing themselves separate from the rest
of the population are the Mennontes
III Kansas. They are Germans in lam
guage and customs, though they came
from Southern Russia. They UNDER
took to establish village life in Kansas
similar to that which they had left in
Europe, the farms running off from
the village in long narrow slips; but
this plan was not found practicable,
and the farming is now done in the
ordinary American manner. Where
the land is owned in quarter-sections,
however, four houses are built in the
adjacent corners, enabling the inhab-
ltants to become near neighbors. AS
a rule the Mennonites are richer than
the average of Western farmers. They
are not communistic, as has been said.
though clannish and opposed to mix
ing socially or in business with the
people around them.

CALIFORNIA LETTER
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13, 1881.

Ed. WnRLD:-I am very tired, tut
thinking it my duty to let you know
sf MY whereabouts and the adventures
Of your wandering Sally pen, or
Faber pencil, these few lines:
We were rudely aroused from a
= .und sleep at 3 O'Clock last Saturday
morning, by the imperative voice oi
the watchman, and ia a few moments
were ruling along on the road from
Bpise To Silver As it was SO early,
and oilr eyes were not thoroughly
opened, we could not view any of the
country for some distance, 50 our de-
scr psion will have 70 commence at the
tif'erh-mile house, which is kept by
MIR b mar, and where we enjoyed
good breakfast.
Snake river is still high, aud is as
muddy as Big Muddy. at "Hog'em =
A party Of men bound for Tombstone,
Aroma, nearly tore the ferry boat to
pieces owing to some wild horses ia
The outfit.
The farms along Reynolds creek
look very good, and big harvest OF
hay and grain assured. We arrived
at silver in the evening, about five,
where we enjoyed fine supper at the
ldaho. Silver is coming up, SD the
denizens say, and it really looks SO.
Six mills are running, four near town,
aud two at Wagontown. A large
number If miners are working, and
everybody looks pleased. Several
rood mines are in the hands OF men
who have not the means to work them
and who hold them at snch
d gh figures that capitalists will not
venture tn buy. This works hardship
to the camp, and SO you will 6nd III
almost any mining town on the coast.
South Mountain is improving, and
to all appearances it will be lasting
boom. The Varkuff company are pay
ing as they go, regular pay days for
the men, and credit is not countenaced
in any style. This is good, and the
only way to do business, and the COM
pany will succeed if they stick to this
platform. Men are very scarce, and
81 day is offered to any who will
work. About thirty or forty more
men are needed. The furnaces will
start ap in about a week.
After leaving Wagontown a heavy
thunderstorm came on, during which
was presented a remarkable sight,
viz: rainbow by moonlight. The
bow was perfect in every way and
looked beautiful. We entered Oregon
about midnight, and Sally" said good
bye to Idaho, only for a short time,
however.
At Sheep Ranch we passed large
band of sheep from Red Bluff, Califor-
MIA, bound for Montana. About 40
900 head of these animals have passed
the above named point this summer.
The hay crops along Indian and
Queen river valleys are enormous, and
the farmers will realize large profits
How blessed is sleep we murmured
as we sank to rest at the Willow creek
Hotel, an imposing edifice, erected
short time since, by a man something
of the COL Sellers type. The house is
a large one, and there it stands alone,
amongst the sage brush, in all its
glory. There are some very good
mines at Willow creek, veritable bo-
nanzas the owners think, but they are
owned by few miserable cast-offs
who have no higher ambition thar to
make grub and whisky.
We passed Fort McDermitt abou 6

About Early Rising.

There is not one man in ten thous-
and who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All the
stuff written about great men who
sleep only three, or four hours at
night is apocryphal. They have
been put upon such small allowance
occasionally, and prospered; but no
man ever kept healthy in body and
mind for number Of years with
less than seven hours sleep. If you
can get to bed early, rise early. If
you cannot go to bed until late then
rise late. L; may be as proper for
some men to rise at eight as it is for
others TO rise at five. Let the rising
bell be rung at least thirty minutes
before public appearance. Physi.
clans says that sudden jump out of
bed gives irregular motion to the
pulse. 1t takes hours to get over a
sudden risiag.

Rev. J. T. Sunderland, in his arti,
cles on Unitarianism contributed to
the Alliance says;
.Unitarianism, from the beginning
of its history, has aimed at four dis.
tinct things: ..,.,
l. To make noble men and women;
that is, to build up character.
2. To do good in practical ways in
the world,-through philanthropies,
reforms, charities, education, etc.
8. To purify Christianity from
false and hurtful dogmas that have
come into it from paganism and else.

itual teachings of its founder.

She Took Her sisters Place.

Daisy Shoemaker, the pretty dsugh.
ter of farmer living near Richmond,
Va, had agreed to elope with West
land Pierce, but when the critical
moment arrived she feared 10 trans
gress her parents wishesi and would
not go TO the rendezvous. Her sis
ter Jane, two years her senior,
begged to keep her trust with her
lover, but all in vain.
"WeIf, if you don't keep your.
word with West. Pierce, III do it
for you," she said, and Indignantly
leaving her sister, she got into the
buggy and dashed of, despite the
screams of her sister. Miss Jane
reached the waiting place; explana-
tions were made; she said she was
willing to take her sisters place.
The lover, touched by her pluck, and
captivated by her determination not
to let the plan fall through, did &C.
tually marry her.

An instance of coolness and cour.
age in a boy is reported in letter
from Wakkerstroom, in South Africa.
The garrison made raid for the pur.
pose of capturing some cattle, but
was compelled to retreat into camp.
While falling back a youngster about
fifteen years okl was thrown from
his horse, which ran off and left
him. Finding he could not escape
from the Beers, who were in close
pursuit, he lay down behind some
stones on the slope OF the hill. A
few minutes afterward, four of the
enemy came galloping up, when the
boy let fly, knocking one out of his
saddle. The three men who were
with him, thinking in all probabili.
ty, they were running into an am
buscade, wheeled and bolted for their
lives. The boy then crept on his
hands and and feet to the top Of the
hill, took to his heels and escaped.
