A Perpetual Courtahip.

The Mexicans Of the wealthy or we'll
to do classes have n custom In married
life, says correspondent OF the Calves
ton News, which seems TO be pretty
one. Husband and wife have entirely
separate apartments, and neither is cx-
pccted to enter the apartments Of the
other except on invitation. When the
husband desires the company Of his lady
in his apartment he writes note of in
vitation in terms Of the most formal and
lofty politeness, incloses it in perflim-
ed envelope, seals il and sends ii to her
on a silver tray in the hands Of a SER
want. The lady acknowledges the in
vit:,tion in the same way, and If she ac-
cepts, which she is probably most likely
to do, she appears at the door of his
apartments at the appointed hour. in
bridal costume, escorted by one or more
of her ladies in waiting. These then re-
tire. The husband receives her at the
door, leads her to little table, where
he treats her to chocolate or tea, cakes,
fruit, etc. In the midst of his arart
ments he has n room, furnished in the
most exquisite way he is capable OF,
which he holds sacred to his lady, and
never occupies unless she is present.
This room is his pride. He spares no
expense to make it rs unique and charm
ing as possible. When the gentleman
has received his lady in his apartments
II is not proper to leave her until they
have breakfasted, which does not usual
ly occur until 8 O'Clock.
After the lapse ofsome days-I do not
know how many-etiquettc requires
that the lady shall return the husbands
compliment by similar invitation,
nicely sealed in a pcrfumed envelope on
silver tray. He acknowledges the in
vitation with many thanks, and If he ac-
ecpts, which is presumed he is quite
sure to do, he first indulgcs in the bath,
prigs himself up in his best array, pat
ronizes his perfume bottles and his
pomades, and ut the appointed hour APP
pears promptly at the door of his lady's
apartments. She is there to veive him,
dressed like queen, wearing orange
blossoms in her hair and on her bosom.
She conducts him to little table, where
he is offered wine and cake or chocolate
and cake and fruit. After this pleasant
rcpast she regales him with songs and
music on the guitar. She also has in
the midst of her partments room
which she holds sacred to her husband,
and which she never occupies unless he
is present. 1t may be supposed that this
sacred room. is her pride above all
things, and TO adorn and watch over it
the chief occupation and JOY of her life.
They remain together in the lady's
apartments until breakfast, after which
they both separate. Thus there is a
continual interchange Of courtesies and
a perpetual courtship.

The Press 4 Dakotian says: indians
at Cheyenne agency are now clamoring
for threshing machines. One machine
would do all Of the work at the agency,
but nothing less than one machine to an
Indian will suit them. They like to see
them run. The Indians loudest in their
demands are the hostiles just i'm from
the northern country"
There is no reason why threshing
machine rightly managed should not be
as effective in exterminating the red
devils, as a Gatlin gun. Give 'em the
machine and prohibit the boxing Of the
betting, rods, etc.

impression produced by this extraOrdin

IT is just possible that we are
more scared than hurt in this sec.
ton rs respects the rainfall. While
1t is highly unpleasant to have the
rains delayed, 1t by TO means fol-
lows that their pOstponement
means dry year. Certainly our
people could not ask for more
liberal downpour than that of FRI
day night, unless, indeed, they are
Looking for floods outright. 1t is q
pleasant and notable fact. besides,
that this rain has come pat upon
the heels Of the last--that is to
say, it comes just in season to re-
inforce the last, which started
the grass throughout the whole
extent OF Los Angeles county. An
experienced farmer told US yester.
day that the mortality amongst
the sheep has been already ar.
rested over extensive tracts, and
specially amongst the flocks on
the Laguna and in the region
towards Santa Monica. With
sun-shiny weather, grass and hay
are already assured, while much
grain will be made should We have
another shower within the next
two weeks. tits pleasant to know
that another rain AZ copiods as the
last would add several millions of
dollars to the outcome of Los An.
geles county, releasing us from
the necessity Of falling back upon
our irrigated lands for everything
in the shape of crops. While
these latter are ample for all pur-
poses when q dry year is pro-
throughout the length
and breadth of California, and
would really put US at the head of
the most favored counties of the
State. we desire to see our mesa
farmers share In the general PROS

AN. earnest effort is about to be

AN. earnest effort is about to be
made to induce our people to save
the Horticultural Pavilion to Los
Angeles. The Fairs which have
been held in this city have been of
incalculable benefit in attracting
to the growing young metropolis
of Southern California visitors
from all quarters of the State.
The question is, do we wish this
state of things to continue and
increase? The money, large as
that sum is, which is poured into
this city by the increased tide OF
travel, is but 1.-THE of the result
ant benefits flowing from the
maintenance of the Pavilion. As
advertisement the importance of
the existence of the Pavilion cam
not be overestimated. Many and
many time q merchant puts an
an advertisement in a newspaper
whose benefits he is not at once
prepared to recognize, but which
brings him customer, who brings
other customers, and 80 on, ad in
jsss::sass:, Until he Is enriched from
D circumstance to which, at the
time, he only gave q passing heed.
Many man is attracted to Los
Angeles during our fairs who likes
the place, who brings his thous.
ands here, and who perhaps brings
scores of people in his train, of equal
or greater meane. All this is OUT
eide of the question that it ought
to be point Of pride with our pee-
pie to have Los Angeles maintained
AS the horticultural center of
Southern California. If We desire
to meet the demands of the hour,
our wealthier people will subscribe
literally to the fund which is be.
ing raised to rescue the Pavilion
from the inevitable process of fore.
closure. Judge Widney has inter-
ested himself heartily in the move
ment, and we hope he will meet
with cordial response. When it
Is remembered that the lumber
alone in the Pavilion cost upwards
OF $4,000, and that only a sum lit
tie less than $4,000 is needed, there
ought to be no difficulty In closing
the negotiation with the mort.
gage. In addition, special priv
ileges are offered to subscribers to
the fund. We shall advert to this
matter again.

The Colorado Collegiate and Military
Institute is now fairly under way. About
forty students are enrolled, and others are
expected to arrive during the coming week
Captain Bonfils, who has charge Of the ca
diets, has proved himself a competent in
structor and excellent disciplinarian, having
inaugurated a far superior system of dis
ciplinc to any before adopted. The various
CLASSES are organized, and the students have
gotten to work in earnest. The English
branches, bookkeeping and classical studies
are the leading ones pursued, and students
are already showing marked improvement,
in the classroom, drill-roonl, and general
department. The instruction impaired is
of superior character, and the local pat
ronage deserves to be increased. Our peo-
pie owe it to themselves, their town.. and
their sons and daughters, to foster this in
stitution while it is in its infancy; to lend
it their hearty support now, when it needs
patronage. Outside sections arc doing we'll
