Tho Boundary Question Between
the United States and
Mexico.

&0001C1o
WASHINGTON, April sO.-The Presi-
dent has transmitted to Mexico u letter
addressed to the Minister PlenipOten-
tiary of Mexico by the Secretary Of
State, prupoeinx the conclusion Of a
convention between the United States
and Mexico from the Rio Grande to the
Pacific Ocean, by erecting durable mon
uments. He also lays before Congress
q letter on the same subject with its ac-
compartment from the Secretary Of
War, to whom the proposition was re-
ferred by the Secretary of State, for the
expression Of his views thereon. The
President states he deems it important
the boundary line between the two
countries, rs defined by existing treat
les, and already once surveyed, should
be run now and defined by suitable and
permanent monuments, and says that
by SO doing " uncertainty will he pre-
vented as to Jurisdiction In criminal
and municipal affairs, and q"es-
tons will be averted which may
at hy time i'm the near
future arise with the growth Of polula-
ton or the bortlers. Moreover l con-
ceive the willing and speedy assent of
the Government Of the United states to
the proposal thus to determine the ex-
isting stipulated boundary with per'na-
nence and precision will be IN some
sense an assurance to Mexico that the
unauthorized suspicion Of late years
seems tn have gained come cretlence in
that republic. That the United States
cOvets and seeks to annex neighbOring
territory is without foundation and that
the United States seeks u definite settle
ment of the boundary in the proposed
manner which will promote u confi.ling
and friendly feeling between the two
nations leading to AZ advantageous COLL
,merce and closer commercial relations.

Tho C0nYCNanrn of Ninnm.

Tho conveyance 10 long distances Of
steam for power or heating purposes has
long been II problem with engineers, aud
its use has, in many instances, been dis
carded for compressed air. In fact, the
measure of the distance to which steam
may be carried with economy is not vet
determined. A suggestion is now made
by which owners of establishments in
which steam is largely used might effect
n large saving by concentrating their
boilers in one place adjacent to n railroad
station, or to the shore, or even con-
strnctlng largo central boiler, where
their coal may all be landed and used
without carriage, and thence distributing
the steam to their several works. The
difficulty has always been to find coat
ing for steam pipes absolutely preventing
the radiation of heat, and, according to
the Boston journal Of Commerce., such
n covering may now he prepared IT is
made of four parts of coal ashes sfted
through riddle Of four moshes to the
inch, one part calcinod plaster, one part
of flour, and ono part fire clay. Mix
the ashes and fire clay together to the
thickness of thin mortar, in mortar
trough mix the calcined plaster and
flour together, dry, and add it to the
ashes and clay ms you want to use it
put it on the pipes in two coats, accord
ing to the size of the pipes. For n six
inch pipe put on the first coat about one
and one-quarter inches thick the second
coat wants to be about half IN inch
thick. Aiterward finish the outside with
hard finish, the same as is applied to
plastering on wall.

Old.Time Sleighing Parties.

There is vast difference between the
slcighing parties Of to-day and the
sloighing parties of old times. Then
they had but one sleigh. 1t was q square
box, very heavy, and the back OF the
sleigh was higher than tho head when
seated, over which coverlet was thrown.
The sleigh was so heavy that two horses
were required to draw it. The sleighs
were nll painted yellow and we're called
tho Family sleigh" They would not
accommodate more than two persons.
Then they frequently had good sleigh
ing for a couple Of months, and sleigh
ing parties were the order of the day.
The farm wagon-body was placed on the
runners of the wood-sled, lot of straw
was put on the bottom, and the young
men and women seated themselves on
the straw. The fiddler always accom-
panied the party. They would drive to
some tavern, there we're no hotels them
when the first thing in order was to get
glass OF Flip" Flip was simply
cream beor, which was served up in large
mugs. Every landlord had an iron rod
about two feet long, with ball on the
end about the size Of walnut, which
was heated redhot and run in every glass
of beer, which heated it and made it
foam. This was called Zip" After
flip the music struck up and
there was dance, and those who did not
desire to dance played games Of different
kinds.

Comforts OF Modern Travel.

The companies which run palace
parlor and sleeping cars over our rail-
roads have made good thing out Of the
public. They are now talking Of con-
soldating their interests and thus form
ing greater monopoly than they have
enjoyed. Their cars are in many respects
such q convenience that tho public
chcerfully pay the oxorbitant prices
charged for accommodation In them.
Yet there are several respects in which
these vehicles can be improved. When
sleeping cars were first introduced the
ordinary cars were far less comfortable
than now, both In the shape Of their
seats and the softness of their cushions.
Tho ordinary cars have been improved
in such extraordinary ways that many Of
them are now quite as desirable as either
the sleepers or the drawing-room cars.
In most cases the upholstery Of the
sleeping car is too stuily in appearance
and too heavy in texture. The slumber-
ing passenger is surrounded by curtains
of such substantial material M to shut
nearly all the fresh air from his couch.
The arrangements for furnishing light
at night are bad 1t is true that we do
not need much light to go TO sleep by.
But the curtains shut ont the glare from
sleepy eyes 80 encctually that there is
no need for the total or almost total
eclipse Of the lamps which takes place
soon after bedtime. This darkness is in
the interest Of sly thieves who want TO
help themselves to pockct-books and
other portablcs which unwary passengers
stow under pillows. He who would
wash his face and hands on cold morn
ing finds total lack of warm water for
his comfort. Even if there are tender
babes on the car they must be washed
in ice-cold water. A coil Of pipe passed
around the heating apparatus and at.
tached TO Il special reservoir would
provide all the hot water passengers
could need Tho expense of such n re-
scrvoir and its spigot would DO but
triiing.
In the parlor cars, which are furnished
with chairs, most Of the chairs are too
high in the scat, too straight in the back
and too much like the official chairs OF
Magistrates or the thrones Of Kings and
Emperors. A low aud easy chair, with
its back so shaped rs to DC casyto re-
cline in, would be incomparably better,
even if il had not half rs much carving
or varnisl 0n it. Yet with all their
faults. the palace and parlors are n boon,
even if an expensive ono, to the travel
ing community. --IhiidiCiphia Times.

Arbitration.

Tho law has always been curse
when fierce controversies arc settled by
It's process. We venture TO state that
there is not a county seat in the United
States that is not monthly and quarterly
visited by lltigants who maliciously do
all in their power to gain advantage
over those who may be on the opposite
side. Farmers, as a class, are often
drawn into such petty lawsuits almost
before being aware Of it. An unusual
degree Of stubbornncss, iaucied wrong,
or rcycngclul motive is often the pre-
cursor Of II long, iutcrminablc warfare
Of II lawsuit that bmkrupt8 both parties
by the costs, periods OF time, aud vexa-
tons of its operations. Instances have
been known in which the amounts spent
Mt law in retaliation for injuries that
were scarcely worth notice, have been
larger than the fortunes Of the contest.
ants, and human nature seems TO pre-
sent its dark side in these matters every
time. The shrewd, sharp lawyers, who
profess TO understand law, aud explain
1t, instead of cndcaylring to amicnbly
settle these disputes, rs lawyers should,
mystiiy and cloud the cases, and do all
they can to prevent comprehension Of
the matters under dispute.
What Is there to prevent farmers, or
other persons, from selecting arbtrators
and settling their disputes? 1t is one of
the easiest methods that can be adoptol;
IS almost costlcss, and can he made by
agreement, rs binding aud lasting as
any decision directly from n court
And the parties in dispute can state their
cases clearer, and make their wants bet
ter known in one hour thqn all the law
ycrs with their "lcarncd jargon" can
do ina year. As tho law stands to day,
we placc too much power in the hands
OF Judges, who forco every man to hire
n lawyer, and if they cannot find some
ancient or modern law as pretext for
delay, resort to tho usual plan of MUIR
dcrlng the law by reference to decisions,
which practice is now allowed to become
paramount to expressed statutes. No
matter to them if their decisions arc
specially manufactured for certain pur-
poses, or como from drunken imbcciIo
or idlotic chnrIatan, they are used MS
reference, and nine judges out Of ten
give their opinions from them. This is
state OF affairs that demands n remedy.
and II we cannot euro the evil let us
keep away from the courts. It is lust
AS satisfactory to gain the advantage
over our opponents by arbitration as by
resort to law, and we know that by ar.
bitration the htigant will get at least
Justice. --FanmCr'S Aaga.inc.

Abolition of Russian Scrfdom.

The late Gar, Alexander H., decreed
the emancipation OF the serfs March 3,
1861, coming into final execution OH
March 3, 1868. The owners of the sc,fa
were compensated for their land on n
scale Of payment by which the previous
labor of the serf was estimated ut n
yearly rental Of 6 per cent, 30 that for
every G rubles which the laborer earned
annually lie had TO pay 100 rublcs to
his master as his capital value to become
freebooter. OF this sum the sefs had
to give Immediately 20 per cent, while
the remaining 80 per cent. was disbursed
as an advance by tho government to the
owners, to be repaid, at intervals extend
ing over forty-nino years, by the freed
peasants. According 70 On official re-
port the whole of these arrangements
were completed at the end OF July,
1865, 80 that from this date serfdom
ceased to exist in Russia.

How GrasshOppcrs Propagate.

A Truckce Meadows ranch,nan, who
has been studying the ways Of the grass.
hopper for the past two years, SAYS they
have touch of intelligence in them
that must como from the devil. Among
many things ho tells about the hoppers
IN proof of their being endowed with
iiendlsh smartness, his description of
the manner in which the eggs of the fe,
male are planted in the ground is not
the least curious. He says when the
time for dcpositing the eggs arrives tho
hoppers select patch of ground that is
somewhat soft, yet Of firm texture.
Here collect swarms Of both males and
females. The males set TO work and
bore hole in the ground to the depth
OF about IN inch, carefully smoothing
the sides and rounding it. Five or six
OF them then seize upon n female and
stand her on end in this hole, waist
deep. They then carefully tamp in fine
dirt all about the lower part of her
body, and thus securely fastcn her in
the ground from the waist up. When
this operation is completed il is impos-
sible for the female hopper TO release
hcrsclt indeed, our grasshopperologist
| says he has often tried to pull them out
when so planted, and always found that
they would pull in two, leaving tho alb.
domlnal region (grcatly distcndcd with
eggs sticking fast in the ground. Once
the female has rid herself of her load of
eggs she can get out of the ground with.
ont the least difficulty.
Our ranchman philosopher SAYS TINT
on Withdrawing herself from the hole in
which she has deposited her eggs the
female seals up the top of it with saliva
md dirt. In short time this dries and
tho clny becomes M hard as cement.
On digging out one of these cells after
1t has had time to dry it is found TO be
sort OF tube closely sealed ut both ends
and able to withstand both moisture and
cold.
Tho male hoppers that dig the hole in
which the eggs are to be deposited evil
IDENTITY deposit in it tho viscous matter
that is to form the lower part of the egg
case, leaving to tho female tho task of
closing it up as her part of the work.
1t is only patch of ground here and
there that seems to fill all the conditions
required by tho hoppers in their egg
planting business. On these they
swarm, and may DO seen industriously
Mt work on almost every square inch Of
ground, oil tho males at work like bea-
vcrs Mt digging holes, boosting up and
planting the egg-layers. Virginia
