DURANGO'S FIRST BABY.
A ROusing welcome by Sturdy From
ierSmen.

A ROusing welcome by Sturdy 'FRONT.'
iersmen.
The follow ing from a Durango, Col,
paper reads like scene from "The DAN
ites:" Miss Una C. Pearson, infant
daughter of John and Ella Pearson,
bears her hOnOrs gracefully of being the
first child born in Durango. The hap
by event occurred on Monday; January
81, 1881. We have noticed an unusual
number of people going in the direction
of the young lady's dOmicil for few days
ast-frOntiersmen, who probably had
not seen an infant for twenty-five years;
old miners, who would part with their
last nugget for glimpse of the fragile
bit of humanity; prominent business
men, transfers, doctors, lawyers and
women, all wendell their way to see the
new arrival. One old miner from Silver
ton presented the little curiosity with a
bag of gold dust. McFadden & Son
gave a deed for town lot on Second
street; Mr.. Lutterell followed suit with
a corner lot on the Boulevard; Mr.. Creek
sent over four tons of coal; Newman,
Chestnut and Stevens made the little
ones heart glad with dozen bottles of
soothing syrup, and John Taylor, jr.,
followed with soft hair brush, while
Griffin & Carpenter sent in rubber
ring and box of safety pins. Mr.. and
Mrs. Diamond gave the baby their little
"cross dog Prince to play with when
she gets old enough. Robertson .and
ROwley, as soon as they heard the news,
went to work making a baby carriage.
Ed. Schiller wanted to give away his
baby steam engine, but it makes such a
big racket that it would keep the little
one awake, so instead, he presented a
receipt for a pOstOfflce box. Finch, of
the "Nose Paint" thought his goods
were too strong, so he bought a powder
box as his offering for face paint. DR..
COwen, of the Windsor, gave box of
tooth picks-that's about as much as a
bachelor knows about babies. Baldwin,
the shoemaker, tried to taks her measure
for pair of shoes, but his lasts were too
small. Justices Fragler and Craig and
ex-Justice De Mates, of Leadville, made
a call in a body, and took dispositions
that she really was the first born. Mr..
Eldredge, of Leadville, presented a quit.
Myers, another old bachelor, of Myers 81
West, brought up pony with side-sad-
die for the young lady to take horse
back ride. Other and various things too
numerous to mention were offered at
the shrine of the first born, and, take it
all in all, no other baby ever received
such rOusing welcome as this one in
the glorious climate of Durango"

Fees of Doctors.

The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in just at
present. We believe the schedule for
visits is So, which would tax man con-
fined to his bed for year, and in need
of daily visit, over $1,000 a year for
medical attendance alone! And one
single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in
time would save the $1,000 and all the
years sickneSs.-ED. april 23-2w

1t never pays to fret and erowi
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will look ahead
And strike the Drawer blow
Your luck is work,
And thosew shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room. g.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain,
An humble lot, II
coy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
rrrt For station high,
That wealth will buy, .s|
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays. A blunt refrain
Well worthy of song.
For age and youth must learn the truth
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
Inheaven's sight
Is always sure to bless. s l

St. Landry democrat., 1881-03-05

The country Press, that broke out SO
badly some time ago, in abuse Of the
Constitution, seem to have called halt,
in order to catch their breath. The la
test effusion that has come to our table
is found i'm the Plaquemine Observer,
published below New Orleans. That
paper has made the discovery that
promises were made to have the taxes
collected by the last of December, and
away here in January there are thou
sands of dollars uncollected, consequen-
thy the Constitution must be put down.
Did it ever occur to the Editor of that
paper that the Tax Collector, and not
the Constitution, should collect the
taxes The law to enable the Tax
Collector to collect the taxes is ample
and if he puts the law in force, the taxes
will be paid. And SO these grumblers
continue, if it rains too much the con-
stitution must be changed; il the Mis-
sissippi gets too high the Constitution
must be changed; and so on from June
to January these foolish objections are
heard The fact is we have a consti-
tuition that is good one, and any faults
that may exist within that instrument
can easily be rernedied. IT newspapers
would use as much energy in assisting
the people to rebuild the waste places :
to carry out the requirements of the
Constitution and to bring out its good
points, as some Of them do in abusing
that instrument, and rendering it dis
tasteful to those who do not eompre-
bend it, they would do the State some
service, and increase its property instead
of iBjuriDg it's progress and tranquil

THE FORTUNES OF THE PRESIDENTS.
Washington left and estate worth
5000 John Adams died moderately
well off. Jefferson died SO poor that II
congress had not given $4,000 for his
library he would have been bankrupt.
Madison was economical, and died rich.
Monroe died so poor that he was buried
at the expense Of his relatives in this
city. John Qaincy Adams left about
$4,000, the result Of prudence. His
son, Charles Francis Adams, gained a
large fortune by marriage. Jackson
died tolerabIy well off. Van Buren,
died worth some 100000. 1t is said
that during his entiIe administration he
never drew any portion of his salary,
but on leaving took the whole 800. 600
in a lump. Polk left about $3.50, 900.
Tyler married lady OF wealth and ac-
complishments. and died rich. Fillmore
was always an economical man and
added to his wealth by his last mar
rage. Pierce saved about 100000 !;
Lincoln about $4,000; Johnson about
$4,000. Il Baltimore Gazette.

This industry is largely on the in
crease. Ten years ago it was hardly
noticeable, but we see from a late
report that the acreage of the rice fields
in this state amounts to more than SO, 600
acres, and in the city of New Orleans
alone there are now seven rice mills, all
built within the last few years. Each
Of these mills employs from twenty
to forty hands, and could employ more
for the quantity of rice brought in.
The success of this new industry has
also a drawback. No fever is more
fatal than the one called rice fever,
which is produced by the miasmatic
vapors from the water-covercd ground.
To sleep in one of these fields is as
certain death as to wander through the
maremma of Rome after night
fall. Nor has human science discovered
any mode of neutralizing the poison.

The Carnival i'm New Orleans.

The carnival is over. Strangers
wearled with sight seeing and amuse-
ments have returned to their homes with
the decided conviction that nowhere
outside of New Orleans can a carnival
be held. Nowhere else can the shadows
of the past vitalized into action and
beauty SO thoroughly charm the eyes and
hearts of men. 1t is not the wild, aim
less, grotesque mummeries of other
countries that New Orleans gives US at
this period. Culture, wealth and gsthe
tic tastes all combine to present some
leading idea, to reproduce in vivid
pictures the most striking incidents in
the worlds history. The carnival i'll
New Orleans is an education. 1t re-
quires reference to histories of other
times than ours, their manners, Gus
toms and dress. 1t is gigantic drama
on gigantic stage and yet every little
minute detail is faithfully rendered.
On Tuesday the Nibelungen Lied, the
great German Had, which gives us a
glance into the maze of Northern Arch
zoology was given to the public of New
Orleans. The representation according
to the description in the city papers
differs somewhat from our knowledge
OF the great German poem, that key
stone of Northern myths. From our
youth we have been familiar with
Siegfried and Chriemhilde the Nibelung
Hoard or treasure, with its sword Balm
ing, its divining rod, and its Tarnkappe
or cloak of darkness. We recognize
our old friends under different names,
though we think we prefer both the
fair Chriemhild of the rose garden and
the vindictive Chriemhild of King Etzers
court to the Gudrun of the NJ K C..
There are probably different versions
of the grand old poem though we have
never seen but one.
The New Orleans papers prove very
conclusively that the gains of the car
nival far exceed its expenses. With
the statistics before them the croakers
had better hold their peace and cease
grumbling about shameful ruinous
extravaganza" tomfoolery,n "unpar-
donable sinful, levity." From bust
ness point of view, the mardi-gras fes-
tivities are a financial success. The
tide of visitors do not bid farewell to
New Orleans without leaving behind
them substantial tokens of their visit
Strangers from the North arc impressed
by the delicious climate and if they are
observant men and women with the
possibilities of great future for Louis
lana. Possibilities which require CAPT.
tai, energy and good judgment to de-
velope into realities. By the carnival
too social amenities are cultivated with
different sections Of the country. We
think our Boston and New York friends
have returned home pleased with their
reception and not willing to endorse the
political buncombe which paints the
Republican Louisianian with his pistol
pointed at all Northern strangers, and
burning perpetual incense over the
grave of the Lost Cause" We rejoice
in the carnival success of New Orleans
this year and only wish eve had been
there to see."

ga peck of dust is worth a kings ran
som" says an old proverb, meaning that
dry March, is the very keynote of the
years successful agriculture. So far,
the peck of dust is ours, and to all APP
pearance the floods of the last few
months are at end. Gardens are BOOM
ing. Orange trees are not killed to the
roots as we feared last month, but are
putting forth new leaves. Planters are
beginning to wear their busy looks, and
the drawn down corners of their mouths
are Strengthening out again. The dear
little boys who wore their Mardi Gras
suits with reckless dare devil air, are
creeping to school with all the spirit
feruled out of them. Precious little
innocents! Only yesterday SO bold and
noisy, soaring babies and little nigs out
of years growth, and to-day, wrestling
hopelessly with "the three RS, land being
bambo OILED and put upon by those in
authority until life is a burthen and a
mystery to them. "Carne vale" to the
small boy means deep regret. 1t is a
farewell not ouly to the beef aud mutton
and poultry of the past, but sometimes
he too would like to unclothe himself of
the flesh and sit at ease when the rod is
seeking tender spot. Never mind
young friends for the orchards are white
and pink with blossoms and you'll have
grand times in June and July. Keep q
stiff upper lip for the hour Of revenge
cometh, when peaches and plums
and pears take midnight Fittings
and no man knoweth whittier they go.
