strong port wine is to be got for
trifie in every public house. The
southern Spaniards are as sober as
the Portuguese, though strong wine
is their drink too. But it must
not be light wine that we should
drink. 1t Is found In practice that
the general run of men who drink
light wine qualify it by drinking
spirits neat.
In conclusion, / will repeat in
very plain terms what is after all
the most important axiom in con-
nection with wine. 1t IL that such
red wine as port, grown in the cen-
ter of the geographical zone which
is the habitat Of the vine plant and
under favoring Influences Of soil
and aspect, ID so full of all the
finest vinuous attributes, and
therefore, unfortunately, of all the
elements of decay, that it requires
fuller antiseptic treatment than
other and poorer wines. 1 have
shown how the ancients, skilled
oenologists, alcohOlizsd their wines,
though they knew not the art of
distillation. Falernian was, I am
absolutely sure, as fully alcohol
lied as the strongest port wine
Modern port wine makers alcohol
ize their wine directly, and no i'm
partial man can deny that the re-
suit is an excellent result. If 1t be
alleged that they put too much
spirit into their wine, they reply,
very convincingly, that spirit is
six times dearer than wine, and
that 1t IS clearly to their interest tc
use as little as will keep the wine
sound. Port has one signal adj
vantage over all other red wines o.
its high vinuous quality; 1t Is safe
it will travel and it 10 lsng-lived.'

Celestial scenery OF Midsummer.

Besides the comet which promises to adorn
the circumpolar sky for several weeks, the
July nights will possess many attractions for
those who seek relief from the oppressive heat
indoors by strolling in parks and airy places,
or who take refuge at the seashore or upon the
roofs of the city There is no more entertain
Ing knowledge than that of the stars. Carlyle
recognized this, and regretiully exclaimed
"Why did not somebody teach me the constel-

heavens, which are always overhead, and

They tell this story Of the time when mill
shafts were universally made of wood. 1t IS q
good story, and we are sorry the writer uses it
to make point in favor OF speculation: "a
Yankee boy on his way to school took notice
that mill shaft which consisted of long,
straight, slim tree trunk, was wearing out; its
giving way was only question of time. He
knew that seasoned wood would be needful to
replace it; Il green trunk would not answer.
He cut one, stripped the bark, smoothed the
knots, and laid it in his fathers door-yard. 4
year later the shaft broke and the mlll-owner
was anXlously looking for substitute. What
will you take for that hickory poleg One
hundred dollars, sir a hundred dollars for
that stck?' Yes, sir; cut 1t for your mill a
year ago, when saw the shaft was wearing
out And the mill man was glad to pay rath-
err than have his mill stand idle while he sea
soned a new shaft for himself Now this
youth rendered useful service to the neigh
borhOod, and deserved his money. This was
speculation; genuine, natural, wholesome,
honest speculation"

GRASS OR GO GRASS.

Denver, now a city of 10000 inhabitants, Is reaching with long arms for the trade of New Mexico and Arizona. 4 few years since tAe st.oots Df tLc Queen City of the West were crown up with weeds and grass

AToNEMENr OF SIN.

Throughout Spain, Old and New Mexico, on the l5th inst. that day being Good Fri day, the Penitents, an order that had is 1 origin in the 18th century, submitted them selves to voluntary punishment by applying III no mild way the lash, upon the bare back, made from the bayonet cactus or soap weed
 We have known instances in New Mexico of where the order was al one time very ex- JeRsive, the atonement of sin being s0 thor Oughly administered as to cause much suffer
 ng and even death. At one time the New Mexicans, good and bad, recognized the or der, but this has been changed by the Cath olic clergy. who have discouraged the bar oarous self punishment, the better classes abandoning the order entirely, until now none but the most ignorant and most vile hearted adhere to the superstit;ous blind zeal, and cannot hit themselves aIniss.
 The order, as 1t exists in nearly every town throughout New Mexico, has its High Priests, Deacons and Sisters Of Mercy. The costume worn by these people consists of two articles only, white mask for the head and face with white drawers. They form ill a line generally about eight o'clock D. m.
 with the High Fries. at the head of the col uH.n, followed by one of the sisters, who beslrs a small , Co, (whistle) from which is- sues q shIill, but slow tune, to which they march, and at every step the piaited cactus lash Is self applied, causing tie claret to ap- pear with each stroke. Upon the occasion of each assenIblage of the penitents through out the year, for they do not restrict their meetings entirely to Good Friday, the man who has committed the most sin and Is con sidereG in most need of forgiveness Is singled out as the bearer of the immense cross that is always carried in their processions. Often these crosses are of such weight that weak man Is unable to carry the burden, when brother of the order walks alongside and as- sists m carrying the load. Twenty to twen- ty-ive steps are usually taken, when halt Is made, the cruss-bearer Is assisted to stretch himself on the ground face down; the croSs Is laid upon his back, when each one of the order, in turn, pass by the atoning sinner and give him a lively stroke with the lash. when they bow down and kiss the earth. Upon all occasions the unluckv cross-bearer comes out pretty well used up. and Is not seon for weeks upon the public highway, the tiIae probably required for ap- plying the healing salyes and restoration of health.
 This order, which was so formidable in the dark days of history and encouraged Dy the ignorant classes, and took an active and po- tent part in politics, has dwindled away to trivial numbers and Is gradually dying out

E New Mining Camp.

That portion of tie H2ss-yanpa District
 lying between Curtis old saw mill and
 Blind Indian creek, about t. miles south
 of Prescott, has recently come to the front As a mining section of great promise Ore assaying from SG0 to Sj0O per ton in silver and gold has been found in nearly every ledge prospected 50 far. The Connecticut IS the name of recently located mine lying near the Hassayampa road and just across the divide, the owners of which are Messrs
 Arnold, Nelson, Tinker, GirOn and Robles
 The discovery shalt has been sunk about 20 feet and the pay streak from top to bottom Is 30 inches wide, and average, from careful assays made, over S70 per ton in gold. The ore is easily slaelted, and wood and water ill inexhaustable quantity Is found on the ground. The work oi sinking is progressing rapidly and the ore found tO be constantly improving Tho lucky yloc1toTs will, without doubt, make great deal of money if they hold on until the arrival of the railroad. There are several other claims in the neigh borhood Of the Connecticut, winch will take rank in the future as heavy bullion pro ducers. These discoveries are not situated in remote and inaccessible canyons, desJi- ute oi wood and water, but are just under our noses, as 1t were. and from them and the other mining camps within e ten mile radius Of the court house, Is ensured beyond question the future prosperity of Prescott as d mining town. It Is a great many years since the first prospectors found gold and silver quartz in what was known in early days as Quartz Mountain Mining District, and the presence of placer gold in the neighbor- ing creeks in paying quantities is due to the wash from these lodges.
 It Is 8 little remarkable that the ledges in the section referred were not opened up at the time their existence first became known, but doubtless owing to the incessant Indian hostilities, then prevalent, the high prices of labor, food, etc., and the exciting reports from other camps, the attention of miners was drawn elsewhere, and 1t remained for a new generation of prospectors to prove the boundless extent and valuable character of these hastily overlooked deposits
