MIR. Bancsoft's Rose Garden.

Mr.. Bancrofts rose garden is now in it's
prime. He has attached to his Washington
residence lot in the rear, planted in grass,
which belonged to the house when he bought
it, and another much larger one, 50 by 100
feet. at right angles with it, which lie pur-
CHASED later. This is all planted in roses of
open air. The high fences enclosing the
garden are fairly lined with roses, which are
trained against their sides, as also are honey
suckles. A rose. house, with glass roof, is
on one side OF the garden, In which there is
never any artificial heat; but Mr.. Bancroft
uses it only that he may have his pets bloom
earlier in the spring than they would out of
doors. In the main portirn of the garden
rose bushes supported by slender sticks are
planted as thickly as is possible for them to
he, consistent with neatness and conditions
favorable to their growth.
Narrow paths run between the rows,
through which their owner walks in min
gled pride and tenderness. There are over
5OO varieties, and he can call each of his
pets by name without moments hesita-
tlon. He visits them regularly between 8
and every morning, clipping of blossoms
past their prime and twigs that need cut
Ting. he says, as an instance of how fash
ions change in flowers, as in everything
else that there are not half dozen different
kinds OF fine roses cultivated now which

many years, ne says. and there are only
TWO or three kinds now in general use which
were cultivated when he first began.

From the Santa Fe New Mexican.
A New Mexican scribe button-holed
Surveyor General Atkinson yesterday
and inquired how he and Senator Logan
spent the time during their recent trip
to the Amerl,a an valley. "Ohw said he,
1--WE put in the time very agreeably,"
and he went on to relate several inter-
esting narratives.
Twenty miles northwest of Moore &
Casey's ranch are located the wondrous
salt springs. and, after going on a hunt
south and bagging deer and some wild
turkeys. the party decided UPON visiting
these springs. Here is a salt basin
about one mile in diameter, and the
waters ebb and flow as regu-
larly as do the tides of the ocean. When
the tide goes out the edge of the basin
shows salt instead Of sand. In the midst
of the lake are three comical-shaped
mountains 100 feet in height by 100 feet
in diameter, which are apparently COM
posed entirely of cinder, such as is left
in an ordinary CRATE after the coal is
burnt. One of these forms an island in
the middle of the basin, but the others
are so situated as to be accessible when
the tide is out Fortunately this was tue
case when the visitors were there. and,
actuated by desire to see all the won
ders, they climbed to the top Of one of
these mountains. It vas found to be
hollow-just as if an immense funnel had
been thrust into the top-and at the bot
tom about on level with the water in the
main basin outside, was spring which
they discovered was possessed of sever.
al peculiar features. The people scram-
bied down inside the mountain and
reached:the spring. The water was found
to he very strongly impregnated with
salt, and it's density 80 great that per-
son in bathing would find it impossible
to sink or even stand up in it, or do 9TH
er than float upon its surface. The depth
Of the spring is unknown, and this, too,
like the water in the basin, GIBBS and
flows with the tide.
The general thinks that by the use of
a siphon hundreds of barrels OF salt
could be obtained from this spring daily
These springs consist of about 200 acres
which have been reserved from entry
or sale by the government as saline
lands.

Small Farms as a Conservative
Power

The policy of New England from the
start has been in favor of small farms.
Some other States tolerated baronial
grants, which, allowed the land to be
absorbed by great proprietors, but the
result was disastrous. Our older leaders
recollect the fer:e contests between the
Anti-Renters of New York and the pat
rons. An amendment of the State
Constitution had to be made so as to
necessitate the division of overgrown
estates before deadly feud, which
menaced the peace of the State, could
be healed. Well did Wendell Philips
say: "Capitahshrieked sPillage and agra
rlanism, but none the less did the EN-
pire State accept Barn-burner Consti-
tuition" And our national Legislature,
by homestead laws, has sought to multi
ply the class of landholders. It has
been felt that the more there are who
have direct interest in the tilling of
the soil, the larger the class of those
who give hostage to order.
At times we have felt a fear OF the
mischievous results of the purchase of
large sections of land by capitalists for
wheat raising. a class Of Bonanza far

Virgin soil of our younger states and
territories. They are not anxious about
gathering a class of actual settlers on
their broad acres, but desire only labor
ers. Sowing and reaping require only
few weeks of actual labor, and if they
can secure workers enough to mana &c
their, ploughs, harrowg, 1eupsrs, aid
pin ders, it is enough. TO provide iami-
lies with homes is no part of their poll
cy. They can be barons, their laborers
serfs or Ishmaelties. This course may
purchase large profits to the landholder
however, but il fails to supply intelE-
gent citizens for, the state. Happily it
cannot be permanent system. Even
if occasional droughts or other draw
backs endangered not the profits, the
soil would soon become exhausted. It
demands diversified agriculture, rota.

land from ultimate sterility. To manage
successfully: smaller quantities of land
