Monday found us headed for "a
gle. Creek, the home of Capt. w.
w. Brazel, whom we found cutting
hay, and his wife churning. We
were weancd on buttcrmilk, and
Mrs. b. satisfied the cravings of G..
therefor The Capt. located his
farm but little over a year ago,
squatting without seed or other re-
quisites cave an industrious family,
a few head of cattle, and large ex-
pericnce. His product of this
year will we'll repay him for his la
Dor. On his plantation we saw
cabbages bigger than the head Of a
Vera Cruez poet, as also turnips,
which, ,!from their rapid growth and
fullness had burst, and the wonder
with us was that the abdominal re-
cesses Of the denizens of that BALI
wick hadn't burst from fullness also.
We saw there potatoes large as
Eastern sduashes, (welghing 81
lbs, y squashes over so pounds in
weight, and we were solemnly as
sured that one of Brazzels neigh
bors, (Wm. Gill, had raised beets
so large that he had to give them
all away for the reason that he had
no pot big enough to boil them in.
That the soil is indigenous to pota
toes is evident not alone from the
monstrous size Of Irish praties pro-
duced, but that neither history OF
tradition reaches back to the age
whenswild potatoes didn't grow
in New Mexico. They grow so lux
uriantly even now that when a new
settler locates, erects7a log cabin,
and covers the roof with dirt, a
crop Of wild potatoes spring up,
and covers i. as surely as does a
mortgage the humble castle of the
Eastern agriculturist.
We interviewed many on the
Bonito and Eagle Creek, and met
none who weren't prepared to af
firm, if not swear, that no section
Of this terraqueous sphere was SC
richly endowed by Nature as theirs,
and we were forced to the conclu
sion that the region bounded by
the Bonito, Little Greek, Eagle
Ceeek. Gaviland Canon, and Berk
sh,r, Flat, is the bridal chamber q
contentment and prosperity.

his name "OEdvke." We opine
he must be kin to " ,Hoopendyke. "

we differ with him, and insists up
on it that Llewellyn is power be
hind the throne, indeed the throne,
around whom and which Secretary
| Teller. and Commissioner Price
dance to LIS music and desires. The
idea is so absolutely absurd as to
throw the Vera Cruez gent beyond
the pale Of criticism, nor would we
allude to his personal reply to our
impersonal Particle were it not that
we thought to utilize little spare
time in smoking him out. 1t is
well known that since Col. Blake
removed to Santa Fe there are left
but two men in Vera Cruz, and
all of them being known to US, we
thought that to avoid being consid-
cred trigid we would trot him out
and see the color of his hair. One
of said citizens is a Mexican, and
the other another kind of a can. -
1t is not infrequent that the inno-
cent have to suffer with the guilty,
as we can best illustrate by story
told by the inimitable story teller,
John b. Cough. 1t is of a noble
man who wanted to give a grand
entertainment, and though want
ing fish couldn't procure any. III

curious price"
"Never mind the price-give it
to him"
" But in payment he asks hun
dred lashes on his bare back"
" Well, so much the easier paid ;
show him up"
He was shown in, and fifty light
lashes laid on when he said
"Hold on Ihave got a partner
in this business :"
"Who and where is he Z"
"Iour porter wouldn't let me
in the gate until exacting promise
that ! would give him half ! got
for the fish"
Tho porter got his half, and was
deposed.
Now, + the Mexican doesn't de

sire or dam it, let him come out OF
the brush, and shaking his CORY
locks, say after another assassin
"thou cans't not say | did it."
The Indians won't 60. Poor, red
devils, they can't read, and are not

THE PREsIDENT's SUMNER RE-
TREAT.

President ARTHUR has taken up his
quarters for the summer at the Sol
diers' Home near the Capital, the fav-
erite retreat Of President LINCOLN.
Here he, doubtless, hopes to escape to
some extent the politicians who can
not reach him as easily at the little cot
tage, in the Soldiers Home Park, as at
the Executive Mansion. He will en-
Joy q needed rest in this beautiful and
picturesque retreat, and the soldiers
who Will be with him during the sum-
mel may give him some information
how to avoid the numerous office seek
els who will attack him.
The Presidents study, where he will
pass most of his hours, is reached, on
entering the cottage, by pushing aside
the heavy curtains at the end Of the
hall. This room is described a. being
naturally quite dark, and made still
darker by a quantity of plants which
are piled up in the bOw-window in
tropical p~rOfuSion, but this is relieved
by the delicate pea-green walls. The
furniture is Of dark raw silk, and in
cludes sofas and comfortable arm
chairs, completely cushioned. In the
middle of the room is a small desk
covered with green baize, and before
the window is a large carved ma
hogany desk. In front of the
mantle stands a curious rustic
flower stand filled with plants,
placed there to await the Presidents
Judgment. If he likes it it will remain,
but if not n will be removed. 1t is of
very large size, representing an eagles
nest supported by large rustic scrolls,
above the nest rests q crown, upon
which Perches an eagle almost life-size.
On either side are other eagles, and
perehed upon the ends of the scrolls are
pairs Of doves kissing. The whole
seems to be made of laurel, covered
with the prlckles of ~pine-cones, the
festhery appearance OF which renders
the birds almost perfect. The floor Is
covered with a rich Turkish rug, with
delicate tints blended into uncertain
Turkish designs. Over the mantel is
an engraved portrait of LINCOLN, while
on the opposite wall is n Of GRANT.
The view from the Presidents chamber
window looking north is very extensive
and beautiful, stretching far along the
winding course of the Potomac.

THE sPoRTING SEASON OPENED.

The sporting season is fairly uader
way, and on the turf and water we may
expect performances which will cast all
previous records in the shade. In the
West the opening meeting of the trot-
tiers has taken place, and from this out
there will be a continuous round of
racing until the frost comes again.
On the diamond field the battle has
been begun for the League champion
ship, and immense crowds have wit
messed the initial games. Baseball
starts in with a great boom, and will
undoubtedly prove one of the most pop
ular sports of the season.
One>great aquatic event has already
taken place in which the pet of the
Canadians took the 'prize" as usual.
About the middle Of August HANL.AN
will take part in a double scull race
which will be one of the greatest in the
annals Of the country.
The yachtsmen have already spread
their sails, and great things are ex-
pected from some of the new ones. All
over the country interest is revived in
sport; even pedestrianism is showing
signs OF life.

I'D

The subject of public health and the
best means of preventing disease have,
oflate, been attracting considerable at
tention in scientific circles. This is
matter for congratulation, for no ques-
ton deserves more study and gets less
than this, especially among the great
masses of the people. Every msn who
advances the eaus of hygiene is a pub
lie benefactor; every man who negleets
to take precautions against disease not
only inflicts an injury on himself, but
en- the community in which he lives.
Professor CHANDLAR, President Of
the New York Board of Health,
has delivered a lecture, in which
he brought sut many sensible
ideas on the subject of caring for the
health Of individuals IN 3 family. The
startling statement is made by him
that half the deaths that occur are un-
necessary; that Of the $4,000 people
who died in New York City last year,
$4,000 ought not to have died. It is
sensibly argued that 1.-THE way to pre-
vent those deaths is for every person to
apply the best knowledge Obtainable to
the eare Of his own human machine.
No board Of health or city government
can do away with sickness unless each
one carefully guards himself.n
No one will attempt to deny that the
body must have pure air, pure water,
wholesome food, sufficient clothing,
sunlight, protection from special and
contagious diseases, many of which are
eontrollable, and last, but not least, it
must have rest and recreation. Let the
reader see that he has all these, which
are certainly ~obtainable, and during the
coming hot months he need not fear
disease. Impure air undoubtedly
causes much more sickness than people
generally imagine.
Upon this topic Professor Chandler
saws: "The atmosphere Is always con-
taminsted with dust containing minute
germs or fungi which cause ferments-
ton ard putrefaetion, and it is now
thought that nearly all malarial and
contagious diseases are caused bygerms
taken into and growing in the system.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1883-06-13

In the country the air Is pure, except
in marsh places, but in the city we
have sometimes foul streets and cutters
which are o hotbed for the develop
ment OF these germs. Bad Odors rarely
cause disease except indirectly by max
ing people close their windows and IN
consequence breathe bad air, and by
destroying the appetite Of those in
feeble health. In our houses we have
not enough air to breathe, for the hu-
man machine needs an enormous
amount daily. People are careless
about their cellars, where they store
food and vegetables in winter from
which fungi develops which spreads
through the house. Not fifty cellars
in the city have proper fioorings, which
should be perfectly tight and asphalt,
which Is the only safe material"
He also thinks that the dangers re-
sulting from the inhaling of sewer gases
have not been exaggerated. Let city
people keep their houses well aired.
They should not keep the children
housed up, but let them play in the
sunlight. Let wives and mothers go
out more. Profitable trips into the
country can also be taken. In short,
let parents follow the simple rules
which common sense dictates and they
IAN aid in preventing the increase OF
sickness aud contagious diseases by
keeping il out Of their own families.

JAY GOULD is supposed TO he conf
pletely happy at last. After a period
fraught with anxiety lest his Atlanta
should not prove the fastest yacht
aflOat, the trial trip has been made, the
result more than realizing the hopes of
both builder and owner, if the news
paper reports are true. steam was
made on the Atlanta Saturday norm
ing, and about 9 o'clock Mr.. GOULD and
a number of his friends, who left New
York on an early train, went on board.
The yacht was then headed down the
Delaware toward Newcastle. On
the downward trip the millionaire
made a thorough inspection of the veS-
sci and hadn'ta word of fault to find.
No attempt was made to speed the
yacht until the return trip. Then the
engine was driven at the rate of l25
revolutions a minute and the boat fairly
rushed through the water. The highest
speed attained was sixteen miles all
hour, but it is said the engine was not
tested to its full capacity owing to the
shipping which Distracted the river.
On the way back to the starting point
the fastest river boat, the old Harlem
steamer Shady Side, vas distanced, the
yacht pa ssing her like a railway train.
When Mr.. GOULD disembarked a smile
of satisfaction lighted up his face, but he
maintained strict silence. The old
sailors aboard we're enthusiastic in their
praises of the yacht performance, and
CRAMP, the builder, said that when she
was ready for sea she would be able to
do seventeen miles an hour without
crOwding. In view of the fact that
thirty-three miles were covered in 104
minutes on the trial trip, this statement
appears to be within bounds. 1t is not
yet known when GOULD will start on
his long contemplated cruise, but he
has ordered the Atlanta to be sent to
New York as soon as possible. 1t is ex-
pected she will be really to start by July
