A Travellers Trip.
Noble L. Prentis in the Atchson Champion.


From Ration to Las Vegas the trav-
eler sees on one side plain bounded
by mountains; on the other plain as
boz n iless as the sea, sometimes brok.
EN- by the buttes of which l have spok-
en-, sometimes by mass of jagged
rock thrust up from the plain like a
wave. AS rule it is grass, tawny
now, but green when the rains come
in July and August. Here and there
are scattered herds Of cattle and nocks
of sheep, numbering thousands in all,
but seeming few on account of the
vast expanse over which they range.
They did not seem the long horned
wild cattle that we associate with on
the southern praries, but more like
the domestic cattle of the north. In
fact, the very brutes have become sub
jact to the influence of the new civili-
zation. The shorthorn has been intro
duced, and the old long-horned racer
is disappearing. The whole cattle
business is passing from the hands of
individuals into those of corporations
and associations. Rufus Hatch, of
Wall street, was at Dodge City the 9th
er day, on business connected with one
of these corporations, the capital of
which is furnished in the east. | think
everything in this world will be run,
eventually, by president, secretary,
treasurer and board Of directors.
/ have spoken of the locomotive as
symbol of civliz ,tion, but there is an
other quite as expressive. 1t is the
empty fruit and oyster can. These are
now strewn all over New Mexico and
the world. These evidences of depart
ed concentrated provisions are every
where now; in the wake of the Jean
nette and the trail of African Stanley :;
A visitor to the interior of the pyra-
mids fLds the former receptacle of
cove oysters, and if you take the wings
Of morning and fly to the uttermost
parts of the earth you will light on a
sardine box. When the wouldbe ex-
plorer begins to recite, "this is the for
est primeval," his pride is crushed by
discovering the tomato can of a prior
visitor. How perfectly New Mexico
has been suhjugated is shown by the
amount of old tin strewed over the
territory to tempt the appetite of her
goats.

"A father talking to his careless

her surprise, go right up to her and

not as attractive then as you are new.
And through these years of childish
sunshine and shadow she was always
ready to cure by the magic of a

hands whenever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with this rough
old world. And then the midnight
kiss with which she routed so many
bad dreams as she leaned above your
restless pillow, have all been on inter

she is not 80 pretty and kissable as
you are, but if you had done your
share of the work during the last ten
years the contrast would not he so

were sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels as it hovered
over You, watching every opportunity
to minister to your comfort, and every

These burdens if not lifted from her

appreciate your mother, but it will be

Heating by Sunshine.
Scientific American.

Professor E. S. Morse, of the Essex
institute, has devised an ingenious ar
rangemt mt for utilizing the heat in the
suns rays in warming our houses. His
invention consists of a surface OF black
ened slate under glass fixed to the sun
ny side or sides of a house, with vents
in the walls so arranged that the cold
air OF a room is let out at the bottom
Of the slate, and forced III again at the
top by the ascending heated column be-
tween the slate and the glass. The
outdoor air can be admitted, also, if
desirable. The thing is so simple and
apparently self-evident that one only
wonders that it has not always been in
use. Its entire practicalness is demon.
strated in the heating of the professor S
study in his college at Salem. The
value of the improvement for daily
warming buildings like churches and
school-hOuses, which, when allowed tC
get cold between using, consume i'm
mense quantities Of heat before they
are fairy warmed again, is evident
OF course, some other meaEs of heat
ing must be available when the SUI
does not shire. But in the colder re
giOns, say in the far northwest, th'
sun shines Il greater part Of the time
and hence the saving Of artificial het
would be very large if the sun hea
could be turned on" for eight or tel
hours out Of the twen;y-tOur.

The Colo Spring

Recollections by Sol Miller.
There is 10 occasion to be alarmed
at the continued cold weather. There
have been many worse years. Even
we. young man, can remember sew
eral. In 1851. May was so cold that it
was called Hhe bligbted May" in imita-
tion of a previous May that some people
recollected. On the 18th of June, 1857,
there was a brisk snow storm in this
part Of the county. May, 1858, was
colder than this one. There was a
heavy frost on the night of the Goth.
We believe it was the same year that
frost killed the already headed out
wheat. 1t has been said by observers
that cold, backward springs make the
best seasons for crops.

ZUNl SUPERSTITION.
How Presence Of Mind Saved an Ad.
venturer's Life.

''S'' w odVeQ an a0-
venturer's Lite.
In Mr.. Cushing's earlier DAYS in Zuni
his sketching caused a secret resolve m
be made to kill him for practices that
might bring disaster to them all. T.
was to be done at great dance that
was soon to come off. He sat upon a
neighboring housetop, with sketcb.book
in hand, when two hideous figures
among the dancers, painted a diabolical
black, came to the foot of the adjacent
ladder and pounded upon it with their
war-clubs, shouting out something
which caused the multitude to look
toward him. He thought it jocular
part Of their performance, and smiled
good-naturedly. But he understood
enough of the language at the time to
distinguish the cries among the crowd !:
XIII him! kill him!' 1t was part of
the performance to kill symboical
Navajo, the Navajo being the ancient
enemies of the ZuniS. Mr.. Cushing
had no idea that be was cast for the
part of the Navajo, and did not com.
prehend the real gravity of the situa.
tiOn until he heard the women echo
the cries: "Yes, kill biml kill him r.
The people rose up and looked his way
The assemblage was silent with expec-
tation. He glanced behind; there was
a wall Of dark figures frOwning down
upon him, half-muffled in their blank
cts, and standing as inmovdbe as
statues. The twin fiends below made
ready to come to the ladder. Mr.
Cushing now saw that his life was
really threatened. "A thousand against
one! Attempt at escape was hopeless.
He thought his last moment was come.
and in his heart was terribly fright
ened. But to give way to fear was
useless, and something told him to face
the danger coolly. So he leisurely laid
down his sketch book, placed a stone
upon the leaves to keep them from
blowing the wind, produced a new
hunting. knife, which he had Just
brought back with him from Fort
Wingate, where he had been on trip
nobody knew he had it-and flour
lshed 1t, at the same time breaking out
into a loud, defiant laugh. The evil
dent GOODNESS of the act, his boldness
in facing them, took his assailants
aback; they paused and uttered a word
meaning "a spiritual friend;' that is,
friend possessing supernatural char
acteristic making more than common
earthly friend-qualities which would
bring good to them as a people.
"a spiritual fIiend-we must not
kill spiritual friendw cried the two;
"but we must kill Navajov they
shouted.
So out of the court they rushed in
search of "A Navajo. A few minutes
and a fearful yelpng was heard. In
they rushed, dragging "Navajo' in
the shape of great yellow cur half
paralyzed with fright. They stunned
him with their clubs; before he was
dead they had him disemboweled, an6
in their frenzy were ravenously eating
the smoking vitals. Mr. Gushing
looked on in gratitude that he was not
just then in the place Of that deg
playing the part of a Navajo. But The
event turned out to be the most fort
unate thing for him; it fixed him il
the aif 3ctiOls of the whole tribe, anC
from that day was dated his great in
fluence in Zlni.

LONGFELLOW DEAD.
THE GREAT AMERICAN POET PASSES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March "a.
At fifteen minutes past three o'clock
this afternoon the alarm bells proclaimed
to the citizens Of Cambridge the sad in

follow had passed over to the unknown
land. Seventy five solemn strokes told
the tale. As they followed each other
in monotonous and dreary success zion
many sigh OF regret escaped, many a
cheek was blanched and many a tear
coursed down the cheeks of these who
had known ard loved the venerable
bard, who for half century had made
his home in the class city. 1t was only.

Professor having been a great shock TO

unable during that time to enjoy his
food, owing to impaired digestion, living
entirely upon bread and milk. Last
Saturday he was In bis usual health. He
took walk in the afternoon around the
grounds and seemed TO enjoy it. Soon
after bis return to his residence he ex-

Separate schools for CoROrea
RuDfln.

hGRME4A0 1EM00AA AOE SAGhS@
Puptla.
Judge Nelson decided yesterday, In
Brooklyn, that there is no legal object
ION to excluitDR colored people from
the schOos for whites when equally
good schools are maintained expressly
for colUred children. Tho Legislature
hrs empowered she Board of Education
70 establish separate schools for tue two
races and to exclude the chiliren Of
either from the schools set apart for the
other. II was claimed that this was an
unjuat discrimination agar st the black,
which Yio;ated the fourteenth amend
ment TO the federal constitution. Judge
N ellison holds that there might be some
force in this Argument II noschoolS were
provided for colored children. Bat
when the same opportunities for or
tanning an education are given to them
as to white children they nave no reason
to complain because they are required
TO attend the schools specially set apart
for their benefit. In fact, as Judge
Nelson points out. colorea pupils have
better advantages ard are less subject
10 unjust Discrimination In their own
schools than they would experience II
admitted to those for white children. II
is a note worthy bet not novel fact that
the colored parent who bgurej in the
case SIS the champion of tue rights OF
his race objected to sending his daughter
to the eol0red school obly because II
was q colored school.
The above from the New York Herald
shows that the northern judiciary, al
least, are awakening to their senses
az sin. Prejudice agairst the people Of
the South had taken away their judg-
ment. They have just discovered that
no other people except negroes despised
their own race in all this wide land. An
Irisbman, EnGlIshman or German was
never known 10 refuse to send his chill
dren to schools kept by his own couu-
trymen, and the negroes alone srs the
people who despisiLR their own race,
want to force their children into the
schools of the white people. Judge
Nelson's decision another new depar-
ture.
This decision carries the matter much
farther. For the same reasons the
hotels may set apart rooms, or the rail-
road companies cars, and the theatres
seats for untidy negroes, who are impu.
deut enough 10 force themselvts amoHG

Of this city, after an existence OF near
u half . century has closed because
Of want OF support. At various times
the Wesleyan had lively inspirations
Of success and hopes Of bright and
useful future, and ct one time ranked
higher than any protestant female
scholastic institutIon in the country.
But the hard times Of 1878 and their
continuance put the institution under
70 much debt that it was impossible,
with the competition that had grown
mp all round, for the institution to re-
cover, and reorganize with sufficient
induCement in the way OF convenience
and comforts to scholars, to make it
pleasant or profitable financially,
hence its closure and the dismissal Of
the few pupils It had in private COM
mencement on Thursday evening
last.
The "Wesleyan," or what is left Of
1t, will open in the fall under better
auspices. We have no doubt that
Rev. John Wilson, under whose man
agement 1t was for twenty years,
will then present far greater induces
ments to parents than the institution
has ever done before. The College
buildings have never had the comforts
of . heme that 3 boarding school
should possess. These buildings will
now be furnished with all that is Hec-
essary for the comfort and convenience
Of the students. The rooms will be
warmed and more thoroughly venti-
lated, and all things put in order cor
responding with q moro modern style
Of living vt home. We hope, there
fore, that the school under its new
management will be better patFonized
than it has ever been before, and that
it will be made mere useful and val
uable to children of our own people as
well as those from abroad.

A SUIT THREATRNED.-Well let it
come. The Democracy OF Delaware
could not wish q better excuse for al
tering the election laws, than this
threat of suit bringing the several
Levy Courts into litigation would
give. We are led to the above re.
marks, by reading the comments of
the Republican upon the decision of
the President of the Levy Court, not
to entertain a motion to comply with
the pstition of Samuel Eastburn, TO
put his name on TIE assessment lists.
That paper says:
''Mr. Febiger acknowledged the cor
rect ruling of the chair by saying: 81
respectfully bow to the decision Of the
chair" We are not sure that Mr..
Febiger did exactly right, but we have
not the slightest doubt he dill exactly
what he thought as right. We are
no parliamentarian, but it strikes us
that an appeal from the decision of
the chair and that appeal decided by
q yea and q nay vote, placing every
member of the court upon record,
would have placed Mr.. Eastburn's case
in stronger position to support Mr.
Eastburn's intended appeal of the
case to the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals, where the constitutionality of
Delaware's assessment laws could
have been passed upon. Perhaps the
aaaa mau he atrn00 ano,,oh n. ;S - -
least We hope it is, to gain desired
object. 1t is not likely that Mr..
EAstburn expected that his name
would be placed upon the assessment,
but he or somebody else had to make
commencement somewhere to test
the constitutionality of the dIsfrau-
chising law of the State aud Mr.. East
burn has certainly made a right COM
mencement."
The election laws are not likely to
to be made by any legislature any
more fair or satisfactory to both sides
than the laws now are. We are sure
they arc the most impartial of any
State that We know, and that there is
not State north of Mason and Dix
on's line in which the laws are so
impartial and fair. If people will not
go to the tax collectors and pay their
taxes and be assessed it is their fault.
The presumption is they stay away TO
get some one else to pay their taxes
hoping when they find they have done
so much, they will do moro and pay
them also TO 20 and vote. This il
what the negroes do in Kent and Sus-
sex, and have heretofore sold votes
''dog cheap" as the Democrats would
never compete with the Republicans
for them.
The present laws were changed ant
adopted to save the Collectors from
prosecution after the Radicals had Sci
the negroes upon them and threatened
ihnumerable suits because they were
pursued into their homes and arrested
and made to pay their taxes. IL wal
found that any negro could go to 6

ney and make oath to any lie thai
