DEATH statistics are always matters of
grave importance to people. We arc all
so tenacious of life that even the bald
figures which aggregate the number of our
beings who have crossed the dark
river are of interest to us.
The late census gives us death
rate of 15.1 in the thousand That
these statistics are not kept throughout the
country with the accuracy they should be
kept is an undoubted fact. If they were
the death rate would probably be in
creased to is or 10 in the thousand. Even
this increased rate would be greatly less
than that of any other civilized country.
The statistics show that more negroes
die than whites the rates being 1928 in
the thousand of the former to 14.74 of the
latter. They show, too, that males die, or
get killed, faster than females, the
rates being 1,074 to 1000; and this not
withstanding the fact that consumption
claims more victims among females than
among males.

characteristic, California mountain plants
now in full bloom. As we descend into the
valley tho grass, trees, and vineyards appear
green and make n greBt contrast with the
desert beyond. At Pomona, as its name inn
plies, are largo orchards and vineyards, the
orange groves now becoming of frequent oc-
curreh0.
If democratic congress had not reduced
our army to its present state of inefiiciency.
the murders committed by the Apache bands
would bave been an impossibility, but now
the entire border territory is in n state Of
feverish alarm, and the troops are incapable
Of giving any degree Of protection, and cit
izens are called from their various avocations
to go in pursuit of these murderous savages.
My stay was so short in these regions that
no truo information could be gained of the
mines, and shall not attempt description.
The great interest of these two territories lies
in their vast ranges for stock and the i'm
mense herds of cattle thereon. The Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe railway reaching
down into thes country has made IL possible
TO conduct the stock business with profit.
lnstend Of driving the cattle for this great
distl 80 and getting them into market in
wre.5hed condition, they are now quickly
and easily transported from the range to
tho eastern markets in excellent condition.
But few years ago immense wagon trains
were traversing the old, well-known Santa Fe
trail TO Kansas City, requiring months of
time and large sums of money to carry the
freight used in this country and Mexico.
Then the buffalo ranged freely throughout
the entire region; now the track of iron is
traversing the identical trail, crossing the
same passes Of the mountains, reaching across
the same, long sandy valleys, never far from
the old trail, often crossing and recrossng 1t,
which shows the thorough familiarity of the
old traders with every pass and route through
out the territories. Everything here is dono
on n large scale. Merchants here built up
their trades with the smaller camps and
towns, sending out supplies hundred miles,
having immense stocks of goods suitable for
this market requiring very large capital, an
intimate knowledge of the people aud their
requirements, and occupying warehouses and
stores of vast extent, yet employing small
force of clerks.
There is no retail trade. A rancher quietly
comes to the store, buys several thousand dol
lars worth Of supplies and takes them AWAY
with less display than in the east a lady
would make in buying dress.
As consequence there is no chance for a
man without means to obtain employment,
and few opportunities for establishing new
business enterprises.
Wherever water exists, whether stream,
spring, or pond, the surrounding land is oc-
cupied. Largo tracts are obtained by the
owners of herds-a long, narrow tract being
secured, insures the owners pasturage over
miles to the rear. Small farmers are dis
couraged by the stock interests, the two occu-
pations so conflict that except in few in
stances the water is not used for extensive
irrigation. j. 7. b.

WASHINGTON, d. C., May l5.--Tho incloscd
article, published nearly twenty years ago in
a Washington paper, may be of interest to
many of the boys who served in the Army of
tho Potomac The copy was obtained from
lady now residing in this city, whose father
was an officer in the I'd New York heavy ar
tlllery. b. rs.
"rhe following tribute of tho high esteem
and honor in which Gen. Hancock Is held by
the men of the I'd corps, was sung in front of
the headquarters of Maj. Hogg, commanding
I'd New York heavy artillery, on the Weldon
railway, Mt the extreme left of the army of
the Potomac, previous TO Gen. Hancock's
taking leave of his command. The verses
were composed by Surgeon Laurence Roy
nolds, SD New York volunteers:
HANCOCK, THE PRIDE OF THE BOLD SECOND
CoRPs.
As with sorrow the lone loving mother Is parting
Her fond iavorite child, though young happy
As grievcs the true friend when his comrade is
For wealth or for glory DER oceans dark tlde
so is sorrows dark shadows our hearts now op-
pressing
For the hero who guides us to conquest no more /;
So each eye pours tear and each bosom blessing
For Hancock, the pride Of the bold second corps
We remember the perils from which your skill
saved us,
How you felt for your troops as the sire for son,
How, when ioemen loud cheering with gallant
pride braved u.s.
You led the fierce charge and tho victory won.
Tho liies pathway may lead thee to still brighter
glory,
Forget not your comrades in battles of yore
For pure is the record and glorious the story
or Hancock the pride Of the bold second corps.
Farewell OH how painful to burst our connecticut
But duty compels 1t, and sadly we part;
| But naught can e'er sever the bond of affection
That binds to brave Hancock the true soldiers
heart.
AS gold to the miser, as HIS bride to the lover,
more;
Wen think of thee, Hancock we'll love thee for
ever,
And remember brave chiefain, thy bold second
corps.

company was one Of those raised
in the beginning Of tho war and
was known at first as the LIST United States
volunteer cavalry, and was raised under au-
thority given Carl Schurz, and was to bo
composed Of companies from the loyal states.
lt was ordered, against the wishes Of Gen.
scott and others, who were opposed TO IL on
account of the great expense attending an
enterprise of the kind, and from the belief
that the war would be over before the regi-
ment could bo mounted, equipped, and
drilled. President Lincoln and Simon Came
ron were thoroughly in favor of &C.,
however, and gave Col. Schurz full au-
thority to raise the regiment and organize it.
The nucleus of the regiment was a company
organized in New York city on the nine
teenth of April 1861, Of which Charles II.
Ogn, West Point graduate, and nephew of
Gold Spoon Ogle," of Pennsylvania, was
captain, and Il. II. Bailey, of New York, first
lieutenant. Afterward companies were raised
in Michigan, Connecticut, New Jersey, and
Long Island, one in Syracuse, one in West
chester county, N. V, and Boyd's company in
Philadelphia, and several in Now York city,
and it was called tho LIST New York Lincoln
cavalry. Funds for expenses were raised
among the citizens, mainly through the eff
forts of Capt +. q. Adams and considerable
sums were given by Stuarts the sugar re-
liners; tho Douglass family, Peter Cooper,
Robert Lennox, Walsh Carver, and Chase and
others. 1t cost the government nothing un-
TIL mustered into service, and was q good
regiment and did good service.
