Prof. Boynton, at late meeting
of the Farmers Club, in the Cooper
Union, New York, gave this as an
infallible rule how to best make
hens lay: "Put the hen in a warm
place, say about 100, with plenty
of sunshine; feed her with corn and
food containing a good supply of
phosphate of lime, and you have
the hen in a place where she can't
help laying"

The San Francisco Report says: A gen.

to a wash-basin that stood in the corner,
washed his face and hands, and then pro-

the use OF the patrons OF the bar to wipe
their mustaches after imbibing. The

OF q bar by persons p~atronizlng bars Ia not
the most cleanly thing in the world. In
the East they do 1t differently. A pile OF
small, clean napkins is placed at each end
OF the bar. and when . customer drinks he
uses one OF them and throws 1t in a basket

The Closing of the Argument for
the Defense.

~ AChChh6(
The Albion Richmond case was again up
for consideration yesterday. The attend
ance Of spectators was much thinner than
on any preceding day Of the trial.
Mr.. Thornton concluded his argument
for the Richmond during the afternoon
session. He is credited with having made
a fair argument from the defendants
standpoint. He was followed by Mr.. Wren
in a general summing up Of the Rich
mond's case Of less than two hours. The
latter speaker advanced little or nothing
that was new. Pretty much the ZANE line
has been gone over and over again since
the beginning Of the trial. Stripped Of
all rubbish and extraneous matter, there
are, as a matter of fact. but two or three
simple propositions involved in the contest.
Senator Stewart closes the case to-day
for the Albion. His review Of the law and
the facts, taking the whole case in all
OF its bearings, will doubtless be the ablest.
as we'll as the most entertaining, effort of
the entire contest. That there will be a
large audience in attendance to hear him
admits of no question. He will explain
the situation in a way that the most obtuse
cannot fail to arrive at a clear idea OF the
rights Of the respective parties TO the ac-
tion.
Just before adjournment last evening the
court stated that the decision in the case
would be rendered on next Thursday morn
ing. Thus the end is now on hand. Five
more days will settle the yexed question in
which the entire community feels so deep
an interest.

Who should Come to New Mexico.

A New Mexico paper has the following;
The question is often asked, What is the
chance for a man in New Mexicop 1t is
good for a man who is willing to work
with muscle and brains. The chances are
good for a man with capital who will be
satisfied with from twenty-five to fifty per
cent per annum on the capital invested;
but for one of those things that lay around
the saloons and depend upon their friends
for support, or for one who wants q soft
job, big pay and little work, for one who
parts his hair in the middle and sports a
white necktie and eane and can't pull off
his gloves for fear bis hands will tan, this
is no country for them. But for those liv-
ing ON rented farms in the East, who can
get here with a few hundred dollars to buy
them a team and live on for a season, this
is a good place; for any man in good health
who wants to labor, this is a good place.
A man who is getting along in years who
has a good home, friends and pleasant sur
roundings anywhere in the East, we say
stay there. A man who is making a good
living and laying By some money every
year in any legitimate business in the East
better stay there. But a man who has
money which he is investing in the East
in the vain endeavor to have it realize him
ten per cent per annum should come here
and it will net him, with proper manage
ment, from twenty-five to seventy-ive per
cent. l can show in Albuquerque invest
ments Of $500 which are paying that much
per annum on the investment, and the OPP
portunities are as good to-day as they ever
were. Money invested in manufacturing
will pay here immensely.

..HamIe.', In the west.

A Western critic thus reviews q recent
performance Of Hamlet" Hamlet must
have been a remarkable man not to have
gone mad in the midst Of such characters
as his aimless mother, the insipid and dis
cordant Ophelia and the noisily empty
Laertes, as they were presented on the
stage. We confess to our secret satisfac-
ton at the poisoning of the Queen, who,
in rouging her cheeks, got a double dose
on the end Of her nose, and we experienced
a malicious joy in the unskilful stabbing
Of Laertes, who deserved death if for no
other reason than for his unaccented
lamentations over the demise Of a horse
fiddle sister, whose departure should have
been to him a source Of joy. The grave
digger did well, not only in his profess
sional work, but in effectually burying the
addressed Ophelia. We never attended a
funeral with more pleasure"

THE LIGHTNING sLTNGERs.
Te1egraphtc Heads ON this COast
Tumbling Right and Left.

The change Of control in the Western
Union Telegraph Company is playing hob
with the telegraph boys on this coast. Jay
Gould is now the principal owner of West
ern Union, and he is making changes all
over the coast. Formerly there was a gen.
eral management located at San Francisco,
with superintendents and assistants
throughout the interior. Gamble, the
head man, was invited to resign some
months since. Frank Bell of Reno has
had charge OF the Nevada division. His
division is TO be abolished, and Frank
must Of course step down and out. Frank
is one Of the cleverest men in the service,
and we shall regret to lose him from Sage
land. 1t is the general opinion that the
general headquarters Of the company
will shortly DO transferred to Chi
cago. Jay Gould is reaching out to
control the railroad and telegraph systems
of the country, and in all Of his operations
he seems to keep an eye single on the re-
duction OF running expenses. He has
never paid much attention to matters on
this coast until the present season. He
now seems determined to add us to his
other possessions. The Eureka business
public will hope that Mr.. Gould in his
numerous changes will not interfere with
our local operator, Mr.. Spinner. The
latter gentleman has been here so long
thatiwe have come to regard him as a fixture.
He is, withal, a clever, honorable gentle
man. and a child can read the copy"
which he furnishes the press. The SENTI-
MEL desires that Mr.. spinner's head may
be overlooked in the general decapitation.

Rheumatism.

The great climatic fiuctuation at this
season of the year has its attendant evils.
From 80 degrees at noon to 65 at midnight
is a violent change, and not at all benefi-
cial TO mercurial natures, whose sensitive
nerves are electrified by the slightest ex-
posture. Men in the prime Of life are stiff
.fened by rheumatic pains. aud older ones
are stricken down and placed in q helpless
condition. When the limbs are once Sc
verely affected by the malay, medical
skill is almost powerless to give relief.
But while the medicos may be at some loss
in their treatment OF this affection, nature
has given every man the power to cure
himself by physical exercise, exercise that
will impart new life to the system. and
send the blood into the e~xtremities. The
baseball players. athletes and gymnasts
sre not troubled with ills Of the nerves.
Here ind there one may sacrifice his health
by needless exposure and dissipation, but
in the main men who go through a liberal
amount OF physical e~xertion are generally
free from the ills that men who do not ex-
ercise are heir to. Running Is the most
potent Of all exercises. 1t brings every
muscle into play, and produces a healthy
action of the vital organs OF the system.
Rheumatism would soon disappear under
a little training Of this kind. Walking at
the rate of five miles an hour is equally
beneficial. OF course no one severely af-
ficted with rheumatism could be expected
to travel at such a speed, but by pluck and
determination it could be accomplished in
perhaps a month by daily efforts. Dumb
bells, clubs, boxing-gloves and weights
are all good in their way. but the absence
OF any organization where these things can
be used almost puts them out Of the ques-
ton. There are too many persons here
afflicted with rheumatism, and it pains us
to see them hobbling abont the streets
when they could easily find q remedy in
our glorious mornings and evenings.

A gentleman who carefully examined the
Wood River country writes his opinion to
q friend in Virginia, and among other
things says 81 do not wish to oyerrate
the country. Some of the ore is very rich.
while others are Of a low grade. There is
quite a variety here-gold, silver, lead,
copper and cinnabar. There are free mill
ing and smelling ores. and there is scarcely
a creek OF any size but what makes a show
ing Of color. The mining region covers a
scope of over 100 miles square. In fact
this is the largest mineral belt l ever aw.
The formation is mostly quartz. Still the
country has its drawbacks. The Winters
are very severe and long. The country is
hard Of access. and it will take some time
yet to tell what the mines will amount to.
But my opinion is that this will be a big
mining region in a few years. There is no
use Of men rushing here unless they are
prepared to go into business or prospect.
This, like every other country, has its ups
and downs, it's easy and its hard times, the
latter often predominating."

Glimpses Of the comet may still be OBJ
tanned, but II Is fading rapidly. The head,
which a couple Of weeks ago rivaled Ca
pella and other stars OF frat magnitude
In brightness. Is now faint and scarcely
peroeptible. and the tail can DO traced only
q little way from tho nucleus. The head
OF the comet IL said, by astronomers, TO
have exhibited extraordinary evidences OF
disturbances. and at Its brightest Il was AZ
brilliant as that Of the famous comet Of
1853. which had u tail many times larger.
The astronomers have been very busy with
the celestial visitor. and new theories,
which may approximate closer than the
old ones to the truth, will probably be the
result, but II does not appear that the great
mystery Of the constitution OF comets has
been solved.
