and then return home, never visiting the
spot again until digging time in the fall.
If everything goes well, an excellent
crop and a large yield viii be secured,
but it does not seem to disturb the ranch
mans peace of mind if he fails in this
kind of farming three years out of four.
The quality of the potatoes raised in
these elevated regions is generally ex-
cellent, and much superior to those
raised on the plains or rich prairie soils
command ready sale and good prices
in the mining camps scattered over a
region of country several thousand miles
in extent.
An Eastern farmer would consider the
prices obtained by the ranchmen suffi-
GENTLY high to be quite remunerative,
especially when so little labor is expend-
ed to produce a crop; but high prices
and the great yield do not appear to be
sufficient stimulus to these mountain
GERS to make them extend their planta-
tons or exert themselves to give their
crops better care. Perhaps there is
something in the climate which is de-
pressing to ones spirits, or nature is too
prodigal in her gifts, but whatever may
be the cause, it is certain that the West
ern ranchmen are about as indolent and
easy going class of men as can be
found in America. They are satisfied
to live in miserable huts, partly because
they can not afford to build better, and
partly because after few years their
aspirations do not reach above log
house or a dugout and enough coarse
food to supply the actual needs of ma
ture.
Strange as it may seem, the larger
proportion of these ranchmen are East
ern men, accustomed in their younger
days to the comforts and associations of
refined society; but for some unaccount-
able reason the aspirations of their youth
only remain as faint glimmerings of
ideas long since abandoned. They ap-
pear to enjoy their crude, half-civilized
life, and we have heard many of them
say that they would not exchange their
rude huts and free and easy mode Of
living for all the Injuries to be obtained
in the older and more thickly settled of
the Eastern States. This shows how
easy it is for the human race to return
to barbarism. Some of our readers
may think that they would do differently
ii placed under similar circumstances;
but we doubt it, for there is something
in the climate and surroundings of the
Western ranchman that prevents his
going further or advancing any higher
in the scale of refinement than the po-
sition in which we find him. We do not
say that he is an ignoramus, for there
are college graduates and good scholars
among them; but they soon become
rusty, probably from their rusty sur
roundings.-N. 7. Sun.

Leprous Cigarettes.

Leprosy, says physician of San
Francisco, has not few victims among
the whites. Especially it is revealing
itself about the lips and tongues of boys
who smoke cheap cigarettes made by
Chinese lepers. The disease, though
fatal, is slow in giving tokens of its first
approaches. The doctor knows of 10
cases, the majority largely Mongolian.
ing in bed clothes handled by infected
Chinese servants, even sitting on the
chairs they have used, handling the
same things, etc., is dangerous. The
disease often is not observable for four
or five years, and then only by physi-
clans accustomed to examining such
patients. In the Sandwich Islands,
where it prevails, an island is set apart
for lepers. The hospital has at this time
eight hundred lepers. "A vigilant eye
is kept on the lookout for traces of in
cipient leprosy. When observed the
person is at once sent to the hospital,
but a great many are concealed by
friends, and thus the disease spreads.
No case is discharged cured, unless it
be true that quite lately some few re-
cent cases have been cured. Report
says they were affected by eucalyptus
leaves. One doctor claims to have coun-
teracted recent developments in inocu-
lation. The leper does not suffer much
pain till his fingers and toes drop off.
When the Ieprous sores are still on
their hands they work in Chinese cigar
factories and give wide spread to the
infection. Clothes washermen the same.

Ranch Farming.

As the traveller approaches the Rocky
Mountains from either side he finds
that the words farms and farming have
become obsolete among the innabi-
tants, and that ranch and ranching,
from the Spanish rancho, have taken
their place. In the valleys among the
mountains the ranches are necessarily
limited in extent, and nearly all the
tillable lands are confined ITO narrow
strips, bordering some rivulet or larger
stream coming down from the peaks.
These streams are fed by the melting
SHOWS in summer; and although the
water is generally exceedingly cold, it
answers very well for irrigating the hot,
black soils of the valleys, as rains can
not be depended upon to supply the
requisite amount of moisture necessary
for producing any kind of farm or gar
den crop. In some of the valleys ex-
cellent wheat can be grown, but the
most common and profitable crops are
oats, millet or hay, potatoes, and nearly
all kinds of garden vegetables, with the
exception OF those requiring long
season and great heat. Everywhere in
the mountains and valleys the nights
are cool; consequently there are few
localities where any except the earliest
varieties of corn succeed, or tomatoes
and melons will ripen; but peas, beets,
carrots, and all the varieties of cabbages
and caulihowers, grow to large size,
and are of excellent quality. All of the
cabbage tribe of plants appear to find q
most congenial soil and climate in the
valleys of the Rocky Mountains.
The extreme fertility of the soil of the
valleys and the absence of noxions
weeds have tendency to make the
ranchmen indolent and careless of all
things pertaining to the cultivation and
care of crops. We have known men
residing on the plains to go into some
canyon in the spring; pillow up the
acres of potatoes, fix ditch to supply
the plants with q little extra moisture,

Where Sheep Lose Their Wool.

Sheep will lose their wool in the
second year that they are on this island.
No matter where they are brought from.
they will become as woolless as goats.
Lambs dropped here will retain wool
just about the same length of time,
when their woolly coats become nothing
else but a soft, short hair, like in every
respect to that of a goat. We knew be-
fore that there were woolless sheep, but
did not think that an importation of
any kind to q strictly tropic cline would
result as above Key Vest Democrat.

A SLEEPER is one who sleeps. A sleeper Is
that in which the sleeper sleeps. a sleeper is
that on which the sleeper which carries the
sleeper while he sleeps runs. Therefore while
the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper
carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries the
sleeper jumps off the sleeper and wakes the
sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper
under the sleeper, and there is no sleeper in
the sleeper on the sleeper.

DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths ! Onic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHiLLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
. of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth.
FER of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle. with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, if it's use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked. more especially in difficult and
long -standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however. re-
quire cathartie medicine. after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must
have DR.JOHN BULLS private stamp on each
bottle. DR.. JOHN BULL only has the right TO

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Sendte-A joint
resolution passed appropriating $4,000 for a
monument over the grave of Thomas Jeffer-
son, at Monticello, Va.
A number of bills were introduced and re-
ferred.
The presidential count bill was laid aside
temporarily, and the Senate bill ratifying the
act of the general Council of the Choctaw
Nation granting the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco Railroad Company the right of way
through that Nation was considered. Sena-
tors Brown and Maxey discussed the bill, and
it was laid over until tomorrow.
After an executive session the Senate ad
journed.
House.-Among the bills introduced was
one authorizing the construction of bridge
across the Mississippi at Memphis, and one
appropriating $4,000 for statistical report
on the destruction of property in the Missis-
sippi valley by the flood of 1882.
Mr.. Grape Mass. moved to suspend the
rules and adopt the resolution making the
bill to extend the corporate existence of the
National Banking Association, the special
order for April 18th.
After considerable discussion the rules we're
not suspended-yeas, 122; nays, 77-not the
necessary two-thirds in the affirmative, and
so special order was not made.
The rules were suspended, and bills passed
authorizing the postmaster-general to read
just the salaries of postmasters OF the third,
fourth and fifth classes; to amend the laws
relating to internal revenue Ia synopsis of
which has already been published), and for
the erection of public buildings at Louisville,
New York, Columbus, Ohio, and Minneapolis
The Speaker laid before the House a mes
sage from the President, transmitting a COM
munication from the secretary of state in
further reply TO resolution calling for in
formation of Thomas Shields and three other
Americans in Mexico. Referred.
The documents accompanying the mes
sage disclose no facts which have not al
ready been published.
