LINCOLN LINCOLN COUNTY N. M. SEPTEMBER 4, 1884.


making the acquaintance of Thomas
Lea Esq, an elder brother of Capt.
Lea, of Roswell. Mr. Lea is a sur
veyor and civel engineer by profess
ion and gentleman of the highest
cnlture and attainments. We have
not learned that he intends to make
Lincoln Go, his future home but
should he conclude to do so the
comfy may be congratulated on its
acquisition. He left this week for
Roswell leaving behind an indelia-
able impression of one of the most
urbane and genial gentleman that
eyer visited this place. good bye.
We passed two days very pleas
antlv on the Bonito last week. We
visited the Chinaman mine, which is
the only claim at this writing
that is being worked in the camp.
This property has shaft 200 feet,
which shows up five foot vein Of
lead ore. The company is having
tunnel run, which is now in about
one hundred feet. Mr.. Guishabcr is
in charge. Joe being an old acquain-
tance, we felt at home with him, and
we were shown everything worth
seeing. The progress of the tunnel
is very slow, on account of the hard
rock encountered. Two shafts only
averages about five feet a week. We
met Walter Church. He talks of
shipping some cricket ore to the
Billings smcltcr. Walter knows
that he has a bonanza and he pro-
poses to stay with it. We stopped
over night with r. c. Parsons. Mr..
Parsons has several fine mining pros
poets; he also has a ranch in Tan
Bark Gulch, which he wishes to dis
pose of on liberal terms. At Bo-
nito City we found Mr.. Consbrook
in charge Of J. Geo. Huber's stock
of goods. Mr.. Huber is East. 1t
is reported that the "Christmas" will
be worked "for all she is worth" on
his return. We were surprised at
the quantity of goods that Mr.. Huber
carries. He keeps everything that
miner or ranchman wants, and sells
at White Oak prices. While in Boz
nito City we stopped with Mr.. and
Mrs. Maj. Gray, and when we re-
turn we propose to stop at the same
place, providing they have not
moved out. On our way down the
river we passed several camps, which
we learned were stock mon looking
for locations. We stopped Mt Mr..
Allen Ilenley's and took look at
his farm. Mr.. Henley has about III
acres in cultivation and will in time
have 20 more. He raises almost
everything that grows in any coun-
try. He has about 250 head of cat
tie, well graded. After dinner,
which reminded us of the good old
farmer dinners back in the states,
we filled two bushcl sack with a
variety of vegetables and went on
our way rejoicing.

Sophronius, wise teacher, would
not suffer even his grown-up sons and
daughters to associate with those
whose conduct was not pure and up
right.
"Dear father" said the gentle Eula-
liza to him one day, when he forbade
her, in company with her brother, to
visit the volatile Lucinda-"you must
think us very childish if you imagine
that we should be exposed to danger
by it."
The father took in silence a dead
coal from the hearth, and reached it
to his daughter twill not burn you,
my child take it."
Eulalia did so, and behold her beau

,a'le a 70 Of. Conversation.

Conversation rightly employed is
conducive OF the greatest pleasure and
profit. Although" as Cowper says,
Conversation in its better part
May be esteemed a gift and not an art I;
Yet much depends, as it the tiller's toll,
On culture and the sowing of the soil"
1t is within the power of every one
to cultivate the art of conversation,
even if it may not be possessed as a
natural endowment. And so impor-
tant is this accomplishment, that no
pains should be spared to acquire it.
A command of words and an easy flow
OF thoughts are embellishments not to
be despised. "But talking is not al
ways conversing" Some persons may
talk for hours and yet say nothing--o
continual drizzle of words and yet moi
a single idea expressed. In the senti
ment OF a poet,
Language too often proves an nipple
ment of play,
A toy to sport with and pass time
away;
Collect at evening what the da,
brought forth,
Compress the sum into its solid worth
And if it weigh the importance of |
fly,
The scales are false or algebra lie"
In order to converse, then, it is nee
essary to have something to say, be
vond observations on the weather 0
the latest gossip. Words should b
Interpreters of thought" But HOY
can ideas be expressed if they do no
exist in the mind. If the conversation
is to be intelligent, then the impor
lance Of well-stocked mind shoul,
be acknowledged. Good reading j
one means OF storeing the mind wit
ideas. And this means is within tn
reach ofall. Lord Bacon says "Read
ing maketh IL full man." Those VIII
talk much and read little, must Of cor
sequence be extremely vapid in CONVEX
satiun.
Observation also should supplement
reading. From these two source
/, nearly all our information is collectet
Observe and reflect, is good rul,
An acute observer will always have
fund OF amusement and instruction ,
his control, which cannot fail to an
mate his conversation.

! lately read a very remarkable cir
cumstance respecting the storks,
namely, that SO strong is their affection
for their young, they are not afraid
even to die for them. There have
been instances of confagrations in
which they flew to and fro, with water
in their beaks, to save their nests upon
the burning houses. Nay, it once
happened at Delft, in Holland, that,
finding it impossible to preserve their
brood, they placed themselves upon
the nest, spread over them their wings,
and so persisted with them in the
flames. This is what is called dying
for love- necMN IIIclcome.

COL. TNRERSOLL ON THE
WAVE.

Statements, reliable, represent the
popularity of Col. Robert Ingersoll on
the wane; his lectures have ceased to
draw audiences such as he was favor
ed with years ago. He finds his at
tempts to abolish religion have grown
tiresome and repalsiye to all the more
decent classes of people. Instead of
the many respectable persons who
once came to hear his infdel lectures
his later audiences are composed OF
the lower, and the more question
able classes. This is very naturally
accounted for; the belief that there is
no God, and no hereafter life, has no
refining power, but imparts an in
difference of human conduct bv cast
ing off moral restraints. Ridiculing
the Bible. which for Il time brought
together crowds of curiosity people
has dwiadied into dullness and in
sipidity. For years he has been re-
peat ing his old story about the Mis-
takes of Moses until many of his fol-
lowers are surfeited and think it stale.
All persons who have reasoning per-
ceptions naturally inquire of what
profit have been the teachings of In
gersoll the past ten years? Who has
been made better, happier, richer,
more honest, or in any way improved
in condition, by following after this
infidel chief? The sport of irreyerence
has always been short-lived, con-
temned for its cheapness, and spurned
by decent people for its offensiveness.
Ingersoll has had his day in exciting
the admiration of a particular class of
people by assalling the Deity. traduc-

MILWAUKEE, RICH MEN.

A Milwaukee correspondent of the
Chicago Journal devotes a couple of
columns to an account of the principal
rich men of that city. 1t is claimed
there are more milliOnaires in Milwau-
kee than any other city Of no greater
population in this country. Alexander
Mitchell is the Wealthiest man in Mil
waukee, and also in the northwest.
He is estimated to be worth from
twenty-five to fifty millions. In all
the great revulSions of business he ap-
pears always to have been on the lucky
side. Where other men have lost
heavily, he has escaped loss and often
profited. In the recent great panic in
New York it was for a short time re-
ported he had been a loser, but it is
said he availed himself of the brief
business confusion and purchased
stocks on which he made handsome
profits John Plankinton is the Sec
ond richest man in Milwaukee; his
wealth Is estimated from ten to twelve
millions. He began life as a butcher.
and made his wealth in speculation.
He is a hotel keeper and is ambitious to
have it said he keeps the best hotel in
the west. Charles l.. Colby is rail-
road magnate, and his riches run up in
to the millions. He is regarded a
scholarly man and has the reputation
of being a christian gentleman.
Daniel Wells, Jr., cnce IN the front
rank of the rich, lost some millions in
a heavy lard transaction last year, but
is still reputed to be worth millions.
John Fl. Van Syke, it is said, has made
his millions in lucky mine speculatiOns
the past few years. Besides those
above named, there are scores whose
fortunes range from half a million to
a million and a half.

Sheep are raised in almost every part
of the United States, but of late years
the focks on the Southwestern plains
have been increasing very rapidly and
viii tend more and more to crowd out
and kill off wool raising in the Eastern
and Middle States, where land is dear.
Western Pennsylvania and Ohio are
especially destined to suffer by this
Southwestern competition, where the
climate is genial and the land cheap.
A meeting of the wool-growers was
held in Denver, Col, last week, at which
it was announced that $50,000000 in
vested capital and Z 800, 900 sheep, yield
ing annually 35,OO0,0O0 pounds Of wool,
were represented they were from
Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New
Mexico. The report of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington gives the
number of sheep in the United States
Jan. /, 1884, at $685. 26, valued at
$119, 902,706. In numbers they amount
to one-third of all the farm animals in
the country. Their owners include over
a million people; the yearly wool-clip
is worth $100,000,000. Texas has the
largest number of sheep, 1856, 275, val
ued at 1924 each, while California re-
ports 6,203, 064, having an average value
of only $190 each. Ohio comes next
with 100000, and an average value
Of 1928 per head. The California CLIP
in 1857 for the first time reached 1000,
600 ponds, and in 1868 it was 6,268,
480 pounds there was rapid growth
from these figures until 1876, when thu
production amounted to 56,550,97(
pounds. For the last few years the yiel(
has been somewhat smaller, averagin,
for the last six years little less than 40,
100000 pounds, and for the last tw,
years less than 100000, pounds.
Of last years product of 800, 10000
pounds, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, AM
the States east of the Mississippi River
except the lower Southern States, yield
ed ~, 100000 pounds, California an
Oregon 50,900,000, other Western State
and Territories 27 100000, not includin
Colorado and Mexico, which yielded 81
100000, while Texas produced $1,000
600 and Georgia and other Souther
States 12,500,O00 pounds, The prime
Ipal wool markets of this country ar
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.

THE NOMINATIONS.

Whatever may be the respective
merits of the candidates lately before
the Chicago Convention, and what
ever may have been the individual
preferences Of the people, it may be
taken as certain that the nomination
Of no other one of the candidates
would have been received with half
the enthusiasm as has been that of
James G. Blaine. His name carries
with it in every village, town and re-
mote hamlet a talismanic influence.
No statesman in the Union possesses
such magnetic power with the people.
He is not a standstill conservative; he
is the needed man for the times. Our
drowsy government, in some of its de-
partments, needs to awake to new life
and activity. Blaine moves in the
front rank, keeping pace with the
worlds progress. There are great ma
tional interests which have been held
in suspense from year to year, without
action by the government, and which,
in the event of the election of James
G.. Blaine will be sure to receive his
official attention. Some of these meas
ures for the advancement of a better
civilization he has indicated in former
years, and if elected to the Office Of
President he will bring to successful
contamination.
The nomination Of Gen. Logan for
the Vice-Presidency could not have
been bettered. His distinguished SER
vices in the national legislature, and
especially his heroic military career IN
putting down the rebellion, will ensrut
for him the united support OF our
Union soldiers.
