One Hight.

It is moonlighton the hill. From
cut Of the trees 4 gentle zephyr
croeps, to rob the hyacinth Of its
ocrfumed breath, and adown the
garden walk the whippoorwill lends
his monotone of sadness unto the
balmy night. Sleep, with brood
ing wings, sits silent DER the scene.
But hark it is the tinkling guitar
strummed by the lonely Augusta,
He comes. Beneath the vine clad
winds in the ghastly cleaning he
pauses, and up the flower trellised
walls he shoots a melancholy tenor
fraught with thepassionate inquiry,
'Must l leave thee here alonel"
No answer returns, save the haunt
echo and the low clicking of a dis
tant door. The scene changes.
It is the back yard tableau. A
white robed old man bends over a
chained dog and soothes his too
eager spirit as he loosens the collar.
A low voice says, "S-cc-eeck him,
Bull-take a short cut around the
rose bush" A flash and the old
man is alone. The clatter of q
fallen guitar comes from the front ;
q sound like the rush of a steeplo
chase nearing a hedge is born back,
and neck and neck two figures
cross the picket fence to disappear
down the dim perspective of the
deserted street. Then the old
man meets Bull as he returns on the
outer walk, and removes in o dis
couraged manner a dark object
from his foaming mouth, while The
animal retires to his kennel il
silence, The door opens and shuts
upon the white-robed form, and al
is still again. But as he gets il
bed and shoves the old lady'a fee
out Of the warm place, he muttcrs

An Ohio judge fined a man $100
and ten days in jail for carrying

that luxury could be made as eX-

safety to life and person than there
is now, and peacoUble citizens be
far less liable to abuse and insult
from upaudlin, drunken braggado-
clio. Except when travelling in the
mountains, there is no necessity OF
going armed here in New Mexico
than there is in Ohio.

The acme of perfection seems to
have been attained in the manner
of collecting the revenue Of the
country. A striking evidence Of
the efficiency of the revenue stamp
division employees under Mr.. Raum
is found in the report Of a commits
sion appointed by the secretary of
the treasury, at the request of the
commissioner, to examine the ac-
counts from October 25, 1877, to
July, 1882. In that time the cnor
nous number of 2,55S, 600, 900
stamps were received, Of which .,
3S1, 100000 were sold, the value OF
which was $66S, 100000. Not a
stamp was lost, and everything
was accounted for to the exact cent.
This is remarkable, considering the
fact that these stamps are forward
ed through the mails in the ordi-
nary manner, and have to pass
through so many hands, Two sets
Of books were kept, which balanced
with those of the fifth auditor, the
first comptroller and other officials.

Electricity is a wonderful thing.
There is an electric hair-brush
warranted to make the hair grow

hesh-brush that will cure several
other ills that flesh is heir to; and
now if some fellow will bring out an
electric clothes-brush that will
make an old suit Of clothes look

Rev. DR.. Hatfield told an audi

"Nature has great chemical pow
ers. We all know that she shakes
up her carbon and it becomes dia-
monds; a few acids and primary
hues are poured together, and 49,
600 colors appear in the fabrics of
wool and silk her woods can be
dissolved into paper, and paper
made into billiard balls or car
wheels; but, Notwithstanding this
versatility, nature cannot make
gamblers and kegs and barrels into
the basis of a noble metropolis. "
And what nature can't do, the Chi
cago man can do as easily rs he
can take "smile."

Some Geological Facts about New
Mexico.

A party of thirteen belonging to
the United States Geological sur
veying expedition, who have been
making researches in the vicinity
Of Fort Wingato for the pust few
months, arrived i'll Albuquerque
last week under charge Of Prof A.
II. Thompson.
A representative of the Albu-
querque J0iundl called on Prof.
Thompson while there and among
other things he is reported as saying
that there may be places on the
continent as mountainous as this,
but none of them have ca1ons
which can compare with those Of
New Mexico and Arizona. Most
OF the work done has been of "a
Typographical character and will be
worked up this winter when it will
be impossible to prosecute the work
successfully in the field.
There are still a number of my
party at Fort Wingatc, but no work
is being done on the survey on ac-
count Of the wintry weather. Tho
arch@ologists and ethnologists,
however, will continue their work
through the winter. There is now
one branch of the expedition in
charge of Mr.. Mindeleff in the
Moqui villages engaged in work
which is peculiarly interesting.
They have undertaken to pre-
pare plaster Paris models Of tho
seven Moqui villages, which are to
be placed in the National museum
at Washington. The models will
be exact counterparts of the vii
lagos on a miniature scale and will
be great curiosities.
Already the slight intercourse
which the whites have had with
these people commences to show
its effects in their style of architec-
ture and habits, and it will be but a
few years ere their customs and
character will have changed SO
much that they will scarcely be
recognizable as the same people
Prof. Thompson further said
that a large collection was being
made of the Moqui pottery for the
National museum. When asked
whether there was any marked diff
ference between the pottery manu-
featured by the Moquis and that
made in the ncighboring pueblos,
he said the distinction between the
two was as great as the distinction
between genuine Chinaware, and
the imitation manufactured in the
United States. He explained this
by tho fact that the pueblos near
the American and Mexican settle
ments had been materially influence
ed in their ideas by those people,
and that their designs were not en-
tirely the invention of their owl,
minds, like those Of the Moquis.
From the pueblo of Zuni col
lection has been made for the Ma
tioual museum, which weighs IL
600 pounds, and other large colIec-
tons have been and are being
made at other villages, go it will
, require several cars to transfer the
cHriosities to Washington.

Susan, the baby has fallen into the fire. P"
Everybody jumped up and ran up
stairs, all but me, for knew Jocko was
IN the kitchen and was afraid it was he
that was burning. When I got into the
kitchen there was that lovely monkey
broiling one of the kittens on the grid
iron just as he had seen Bridget broil
the steak. The kittens fur was SINCE
ing and she was mewing, and the other
kitten was sitting up on the floor licking
her chops and enjoying it, and Jocko
was on his his hind-legs as solemn and
busy as an owl. Isnatched the gridiron
away from him and took the kitten off
before she was burned any except her
fur, and when mother and Susan came
down stairs they couldn't understand
what it was that had been burning, and
guessed the cook must have put egg
shells on the fire.
This is all the monkey has done since
I got him day before yesterday. Father
has been away for week but is coming
back in few days, and won't he be de-
lighted when he finds monkey in the
house ?-Harper's Young People.

ADOBE BRICKS.

At Las Vegas for the first time We saw
the adobe bricks In process Of manu-.
factrre-a process simple enough. With
o hoe q man mixes mud, water and cut
wheat straw in the proper proportions
to secure consistency, and then molds 10
in a box eighteen inches long by ten IL
width. The bricks are then spread in
the sun to dry, and it is not unusual to
see grass sprouting from them if the
weather has been damp. From these
the much-gazed-at adobe house IS made,
a structure capable Gin the climate in
which it is used) of enduring for 800
wears, The roofs of the ordinary adobes
are almost fat, and made of mud and
spread on about six inches thick. There
is a peculiarly about these roofs. When
it rains they seldom leak until week
after, for by that time the water has an
opportunity of soaking through. This
is convenient for the inmates, as the
weather being then clear they can move
out-Neav Merico letter.
