Our New York Letter.
NEW YORK, Jan, IL, 1884.

To the Editor OF the ENTERPRISE.
Murder seems the prevailing sensation OF
the past week, a disogreeable but absorbing
topic. Calling the other day on an old COM
rAde, who still wears the blue In the shape OF
police uniform, found him absent on
quest after the slayers of Chinese laundry
man who had been artistlcally .carved into
mincemeat with Chinese dagger presum-
ably In Chinese hands. Celestial clannish-
ness and couyenient ignorance OF English
will probably conserve the culprit.
1t is the worst feature of so many assas-
sinations recently the apparent impossi
bility of fastening the case on any one
definitely Another most barbarous crime
was the hammering TO death OF an aged
farmer and his literary wife, daughter OF
the late Confederate Gen. Wlnder, we'll
known to old Libby prisoners, at Oyster
Bay, Long Island, charming summer
resort, but uncomfortably full OF savage
tramps In winter.
Talking OF oysters, poor Coney Island, the
great headquarters for their wholesale con-
sumption In these parts, has been grew
ously racked and ruined by the great storm.
The beach has been swept away for miles,
with dozens of hotels, bathing-houses,
railroads, piers, clam shanties, flower
gardens, ETC., and the island itself has been
split in two.
New York and Newark, and sundry other
places are painfully excited about the mys-
terious disappearance Of very well.known
man, Charles Delmonico. His dinners have
oomforted the inner cookies Of the hearts OF
su our distinguished citizens and several
thousands Of outsiders, and that the genial
good fellow, who was as suaye ctll lately
as one Of his most supreme Rastronomic
triumphs, should have gone of the track
into insanity AMI sudden oblivion is fact
that is generally deplored There Is a
reward Of $500 for any tldlngs Of him, dead
or alive.
Turning from grave TO gay we find an
amusing episode about the night schools
which alike shows the benefit OF these insti-
tutions and the inherent boyishness OF
human nature under cumulative scholastic
influences. Two middle-aged Teutons have
been diligently making up for deficiencies In
early education. One less stupid than the
other laughed at the lstter's mistakes. On
school being dismissed, these big boys, Just
like the little fellows, pitched into each
other, were captured by lady teacher and
next day paraded for punishment After Q
sound lecture they were allowed TO 90 with
an admoniton not to be naughty boys any
more.
The daily press wound up last year will
groans at bad times and prophecies Of wors'
TO come. They have suddenly shifted theil
weather cocks and are glorfyiug the i'm
provement in business. It is a pity thes'
scribes will not write about something the
know something ABOUT, for more peopl
than would be willing to confess 1t, are In
auenced BY this trash, and there is an un
settled panicky feeling more or less all tn
time, which, as rule, there is no sort o
justification for. RADIx.

When COWS are obliged to live on
hay they have a stronger desire for
water than if fed on other kinds of
fodder. See that they have access to it

A lack Of water will quickly cause a
shrinkage in milk as well as an actual
loss of flesh. Boston Transcript.

Advantages Of Farming.

land N parts Of the United States
Is rap dly adyan. INK, OF course in some
States more than in Others. In all OF
the southern States, within the past few
years, the price OF land has AS a general
thinr more than doubled its market
price. In the New England and Middle
States the advance has not been so
great, but in the Western States and
Territories the advance has almost kept
pace with the Southern states. In this
State W thin few years past improved
land has in almost every instance more
than doubled, and in many cases more
than quadrupled. To show some Of our
city and town people what has and may
be done we will give one instance
amoag the many we could mention OF
what Il mechanic has done in the past
fourteen years. At thai time he was
living in u city, working at four dollars
per day He rented a house and his
family consisted of his wife and six
children; four Of these were attending
the public schools and of course had to
be fed and clothed and furnished with
books, which would certainly make sad
havoc with four dollars day. For
several years this man had toiled inces-
sanity and was fortunate in getting
steady employment, being skilled
workman, Snd vet with the strictest
economy he had saved but a few hun
dred dollars and saw nothing but drudg-
cry and poverty before him If he con:
tinued on in this way; therefore
hs mustered up courage enough
to break away from the city.
He invested his few hundreds in
a farm, upon which was u miserable
house and few acres fenced and i'm
proved. The land (240 acres) cost him
| i've dollars an acre. The family all
took hold and did what they could.
For few years they had to put up with
many privations, but they managed to
get along and to live tolerably comfort
able. Each year improvements were
made as fast as the means would afford.
Trees were planted, vines and even
shades and ornamental trees. In ten
years from the time of purchasing a
handsome and commodious farmhouse
was erected, which was followed by a
large AMI convenient barn, sheds and
other necessary buildings. To-day the
former mechanic and day-laborer, who
| lived from hand to mouth, takes his
family to the city in a handsome car
riage drawn by beautiful thousand
dollar team, and has the satisfaction OF
sitting under his own vine and fig tree,
an Independent and happy man. Last
week he was offered $4,000 for his
land, he having added some to it since
his first purchase, which he refuses. II
he had remained in the city those four
teen years the best he could have &C.
complished would perhaps have been to
become owner OF small house Of his
own. There are still opportunities for
others to go and do likewise, though oi
course each year many chances are
passing away.--San Francisco Chron-
icle.

The Skin.

The skin Is one Of the great emunctory
or excreting organs Of the body, and
shares very largely with the lungs and
kidneys the Office Of removing the super
Hous waste from the system. Thus the
skin removes by exhalation somewhere
about two pints OF liquid daily, the kid
neys about the same amount and the
lungs not much over one-half or two
thirds as much. II can therefore be
readily understood how "check OF
perspiration acts disadvantageously,
by throwing extra work upon other or
gans These three great agents for
eliminating or removing the water from
the system act in harmony and inter-
change in their duty more or less. Thus
in cold weather, when the skin perspires
less, the kidneys are more active and
their secretion, as also that Of the lungs,
Is more profuse; hence the great danger
of their becoming inflamed during this
season, and in summer, when the per-
spiration may be profuse, it is a COM
mon observation to find the urine more
scanty. These vicarious or interchang-
ing action OF these organs is frequently
taken advantage of in medicine, as
when, in such maladies as Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys, the quantity Of their
secretion is diminished, we cause the
skin to act prolusely and remove the
water which threatens dropsy and en-
dangers life. In like manner, in GER
tain diseases of the skin we find great
advantage from giving remedies which
increase the secretion from the kidneys.
Also in pneumonia, where the power
for work OF the lungs is seriously inn
paired. we keep the skin in good action
by poultices, warmth. ipecac, etc.

--I'he whirlwinds Of dust observed
by Pre- eevalsky in Central Asia, like
those in Mexico, India and the Sahara,
have the same origin and mechanical
action as the tornadoes Of the United
States and all waterspouts. They are
all alike spiral movements descending
with upright axis and always travel
ing horizontally in a nearly straight
line. The general belief that the dust
on land and the water at sea ascend
from the surface high into the air is
due to an optical illusion. Caicago

Tobacco is an Indian weed,

The tobacco manufacturers which Will be
presented to congress praying that the
internal revenue tax be removed from the

ment is to he offered in support of the pc
titlon nor has our Imagination wide
enough range to anticipate 1t. Tobacco
is not only useless luxury but its use is
both offensive and disgusting to the user
and others. Those who indulge in its use
admit that it is a filthy habit by abstain

of course. A luxury which man must

Of back alley to use without feeling
himself offensive to others can hardly be
called a necessary oil life. When lad

into manhood he commences to chew to-
bacco and hardly ever finds on. his mis-
take until the habit is fastened upon him
for life. Whea he grows old he charges
it all to the devil for sowing the seed and
the poor Indian for cultivating it. He
figures out several farms he might have

had spent for tobacco in savings bank

gress should sit down on this memorial.
The tax on tobacco should he increased
rather than diminished. Tobacco is not
necessary of life, neither is its use an
accomplishment of which the American
citizen may be proud. 1t is one of those
things which man will pay ten times as
