New York Tribune


Among the immigrants who arrived
on the steamship Lake Manitoba from
Liverpool, last week, was a woman
who was in doubt as to whether her
name was Matthews or Preece. Mary
Jordan met Mr.. Matthews in Bristol,
England, eleven years ago, and mars
ried him. Soon after her husband
came to America to seek his fortune,
and neglecting to keep her informed
OF his movements, she naturally put
his name on the death roll. After five
years of supposed wid0whood, Mrs.
Matthews met Mr.. Preece and soon
afterward took his name, the nuptial
knot being tied by a clergyman near
Bristol. Like her first husband he,
too, came to America few months
after marriage.
Unlike the first husband, Nj. Preece
correspondent with his wife, and last
December sent money to pay her pas.
sage hitler. Mrs. Preece came, and
when she stepped ashore found two
husbands waiting to greet her. Her
sOuntenance betokened
How happy could l be with either,
Were tother dear charmer away"
The two men aroused themselves
into frame of mind which spent itself
in loud and angry words, while they
wandered away toward Greenwich
street, while Mrs, Preece or Mrs.Mat.
thews, followed them.

right to. he came here with his
family by stage through wild. dan.
gerous country, from San Antonio, a
distance of 200 miles, and started this
paper only few yaers ago. de owns
neat home, the building IN which
his paper is published and other prop
erty; has reeained his health; is max
ing money; is an outside pillar Of one
OF the churches, and is not only con-
tented and happy but buoyant and
sanguine. The prospects are that he
will be rich man comparatively in
less than ten years. Mr.. M j Nickel
Lyon, formerly of Memphis, and a
brotherNin.law of Esvuire John
Spelman, Is here and apparently
doing well. Mr.. James A. Ashford,
late Of Memphis, is connected with a
large lumber firm here; has invested
his means in the place and is
well pleased. He has brought out
his family and will make this his
home. This is also the home Of Mrs.
Powell, formally wife and widow Of
the late Rev. s. B. Surratt. She
married an Englishman of culture and
pleasing manners year or two ago,
and they removed to this place Since
then they have been blessed with two
beautiful little twin boys. and the
family seems to be a very happy once.
These are all the Memphis people |
have met here as yet. Col. w. A.
Sibley, who once kept hotel at Grand
Junction, and was we'll known in
Memphis, is Inspector of U. s Gus.
toms at this point, a position of con-
siderable importance. He is kind
hearted, genial and worthy gentleman.
Tourists from all parts OF the civiN
liked world are to be seen here
aud more Cinnamon than the laundry
business would seem to demand.
People travelling from the East and
Europe to California or Mexico make
it point to stop over see this strange
old place, with its homogeneous mix
ture of nationalities, manners and
business ways. There is one good
hotel, the Central, and another one is
built but not opened. Charges are
reasonable, and the fare as good as
found in towns of similar size in older
States. Some modern architecture
begins to loom up in the midst
Of the old Mexican adobe one
story buildings. Yet for this climate
| believe that the mud wall houses, if
properly drained and ventilated, are
the best for comfort and health. The
old Spaniards knew what they were
about. 1t might do to make the houses
two stories high, and would certainly
be an improvement to add bay win
dOWs, instead of the plain small win
dOws barred up with iron or copper
rods, like prison or a house of re.
form. This, however, is the business
of the people who live here. Those
who prefer to burn wood brought in
ten or fifty miles on the backs of
donkeys driven by barefooted, blan>
keted Mexicans, rather than to use
coal which can be had almost as cheap,
have a constitutional right to do so,
even as they have to live in mud
houses and sit on mats instead Of
chairs. j. II. NJ.

Ancient santa Fe.

The ancient New Mexico city of
Santa Fe will celebrate in July next
the completion of 1893 years of exist
ence with appropriate ceremonies. The
celebration is to be known as the terto-
millennial Of the town, a rather labor
lous name, but one strictly applicable.
Every graduation OF humanity may be
witnessed there on that occasion, from
the NEST civilized and progressive
citizen down to the most savage OF the
Apache Indians. It would be a rare
occasion to study character and wit
ness the extremes of fashion displayed
by the diverse types OF humanity TO be
present. Spaniards will be there with
their antique costumes, ranehmen
with their wonderful feats of horse
manship, and miners with their exhib
its of precious metals and minerals. 1t
will, indeed, be a strangely interesting
exposition.

CHAPER 1.

Ask any or all of the most eminent physi-
clans:
What is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases of the
kidneys and urinary organs; such rs Bright's
disease, diabetes, retention or inability
to retain urine, and all the diseases and all
ments peculiar to Women
And they will tell you explicitly and en-
phatically 'Buchu"
Ask the same physicians
What is the most reliable and surest cure
for all, liver diseases or dyspepsia, cOnstipa-
ton, INDIGESTION, biliousness, malarial fe-
yer, ague, eto., !" and they IL tell you:
Mandrake! or Dandelionl"
Hence, when these remedies are combined
with others equally valuable
And compo unded into Hop Bitters, such n
wonderful and mysterious curative power is
developed which is so varied in its operations
that no disease or i'll health can possibly
exist or resist its power, and yet it is

Unexplered Australia.

Unexplored Australia still con-
tains prizes for enterprising travellers.
The great central desert theory, and
many other myths, have long been
exploded. but an immense area of
country remains practically untrod.
den. In two colonies alone, South
Australia and Western Australia,
there are upward of 100000 square
miles of which little or nothing is
Known, and in the northern peninsula
of Queensland another 10000 square
miles remain uneXplored. Mr.. Chris
tie Palmerston, government sur.
veyor, has just opened up the table
lands between Herberton and the
Queensland coast. He reports that
this highly favored region possesses a
fora of incredible luxuriance, broad
sheets of water falling over high
basaltic precipices, and the richest
soil in Australia, and is inhabited by
tribes exhibiting characteristics which
distinguish them from the other ma
tives of Queensland. Some of them
are said 10 reside in scrub SO dense
that they have never seen open coun.
try. They are armed, not with
spears, but with wooden swords re
sembling in shape the weapons which
the Dyaks Of Borneo carry in their
head hunting expeditions.
