Especial Correspondence OF THE SUNDAY HERALD. i
SANTA FE, N. NJ, July %, 1885.
After soj0urn OF q few weeks In this quaint old
town, am not surprised at the loud boasts of Its
inhabitants OF their delightful climate, the mean
temperature being about $50, while reports reach us
of terrific heat in the eastern cities. Each day in
Santa Fe seems TO include the four seasons. In the
morning we have charming spring, at noon we have
summer; the afternoon reminds Of the autumn, and
night brings the winter, the thermometer frequently
falling to 45o.
What is termed here the "rainy season " Is now
on hand and one might suppose that thunder storms
were kept on hand ready made, Judging from their
frequency they have averaged two or three every
day for the past week. They are of short duration,
however, and pass away as quickly as they come
up leaving the great ranges OF the mountains loom
ing up in all their magnincencc, with a background
of the bluest sky.
In defiance OF the rains and thunder-storms we
had glorious trip to the Rio Pecns, where found
the trout plentiful and eager for the deceptive fly.
To reach the fishing ground we had a charming
drive OF thirtyve miles through the mountains but
over an excellent road leading across the Genetta
range and into the PecOs canon. We found excel
lent accommodations at the ranch of Sonora Vale, q
young Mexican widow. Everything was in good
style, and the table excellent OF course we fur
nshed our own fish. Our stopping point was five
miles below the clubhouse OF the "Santa Fe Hunt

APPARENTLY a new or " prentice hand Is writing
the mid Week Echoes" Of the New York sun.
Certainly The pen Of the accomplished Theblin never
wrote ths curious Item;
The recent excitement about the change OF Cabl-
net, the ran MdH scandal the Afghanistan business,
aud the Egyptian muddle have diverted public at
tentlon In England from curious, although so far,
not very important, fact that OF number of!English
men AMI women residing In India who have been
converted TO the buddhist religion. The last convert
was a lady Of excellent family and nigh education.
A shori time ago Clergyman OF the Established
Church accepted the preceps Of the buddhist creed In
presence of The Hindu Grand Priest. Az ceylon
Miss Mary Flynns conversion 10 the Oriental creed
was celebrated with considerable s0leInnity. The
Young English woman, dressed Ia long black satin
garment, was seated, surrounded by crowd of
BrahmiLs, dressed In yellow, and ainPng In mo-
n0iOnous tone some inierininable chants OF the
nature OF lltanes The Grand Priest then asked the
young lady what were her motives for exchanging
her own religion for that OF Buddhism. Her answer
was that after studying different creeds she had
reached the conclusion that the Buddhist philosophy
was more In accordance With reason and common
sense than any other. Alter several other questions
had been put 10 her ANA answered. the Grand Priest
explained 10 her the five cardinal precepts OF
Buddhism, 70 the observance OF which Miss Flynn
then bound herself. The ceremony was terminated
Suud. People from all parts OF the country were
asseIpbled al the ceremony, as were also all the
Europeans present at Ceyl0n, Including the OilceTs
and crew Of the French steamer.
The amazing part OF this is that irstclass news
paper should permit such a column 10 be written by
person so ignorant us not TO know that Brahmans
are not Buddhists. The Two names represent creeds
as distinct az Mohammedanism and Christianity
The Brahnlans are The highest caste among the ma
tiyes Of INDIA ana the priests OF tie yedic or Hindu
religion. In The whole OF Hindustan there are only
about 9500,O00 BuddhlSs, against $1,000, 900 Moham-
nedans aud IsI,OOO,OOO Hindus or Brahmanlsts
Tue followers Of Buddha are however, numerous in

Llama is not only the monarch OF Thibe but the rec

Probably the religion which AZ receiving European

seems 70 be the subject OF rather active propaganda

One feature of the old vicious system
which the President apparently means TO re-
form was that the most worthless applicant
generally appeared backed mp by the strong
est papers. When recommendations meant
nothing it only needed industry, cheek, and
persistence TO accumulate them in formidable
array. At the same time a man conscious Of
some solid worth and fair claims TO consid-
GRAFTON would generally be contented with a
moderate number Of written Endorsements.
This peculiarity of papers, which the Execu-
tive soon discovers, makes It necessary TO go
behind the returns and make private in
quiries TO determine the relative standing of
applicants. This President Cleveland, to
Judge from the character of his recent ap-
pointments, has learned how to do to good
purpose.

Obviously the easiest and best as well
as the only safe way TO transact public bust
ness Is to be guided by facts OF record. 1t
follows that verbal solicitation should be
discouraged and disregarded, and written
recommendations and statements of fact
which can be examined and verified should
be almost exclusively considered. But to
follow this safe way it is necessary that the
record should be truthful. This, We believe,
the President is determined TO insist upon,
and when he has finally gained his point
and broken down the vicious and lying
system that was only invented to enable
dishonest politicians TO trick and deceive he
will find the work OF selection greatly sim
pliied.
