NEIL b. FIELD, President of
the.Bar Association OF New Mex =
leo, delivered an address before
the guild recently, in which he
presented some rather startling
figures. For instance he cited the
tact that the cost of running our
Territorial copgts the past year,
scaled the sum of S179. 1876. 90,
and that Col. johnson, clerk OF
the 4th district draws Sc, 1872. %,
as his fees, therefore the four clerks
must get S25, SS3. 92. These fig
ures are frightful, being greater
than the entire revenue OF the Ter
rltory, and twice larger than were
levied before the Territory fell
into the hands OF "reform ad-
ministration."

hard to tell which is the most use

While the Eastern people boast
of their cdlture, there are two
things Of which they are lament

the characteristics of the cowboy.

Fennimore Coopor's novels, and
committed to memory the lines
commencing,
"Lo, the poor Indian, whose uuutorcd

Hence, the Indian is held in
admiration, each Of his species
being looked up to as god or
GODDESS, and even when the red
devils put on their paint and take
to the war path, Eastern sympathy
goes with them, and their ruthless
cruelties are condoned on the
ground of innocent ignorance,
whereas they are built that way,
and their outbreaks are but the
outcropping Of their demoniac ma

templates our county, 25OX16O

"a, 450 square miles, can readily
conceive that it is unwieldy and
must be cut up into two or more
parts. Lincoln people themselves,
sought to cut it last winter, and
the regions below the shire-town
were unanimous to be set apart
from Lincoln. This being the
fact, why precipitate tax upon a
people who will soon be necessi-
tattd TO duplicate it by paying for
the erection of another Jail We
can all afford to wait until the
next Legislature gets it's work in
on division, after which Lincoln
will have no occasion for Jail,
save TO house themselves in. when
it will make bat little difference to
them where it Is located.

THURSDAY night, abont $3.50
O'Clock, the cry OF fire struck upon
the ears OF our people. The scene
of contlaeration was the frame
house on Livingston Street, in the
heart of town, which was totally
destroyed, the occupants, Mr..
Holders family, barely escaping
and saving no etfects;but a bed.
The fire caught in the roof from
the stove pipe. The building, un-

of Lincoln, and when burned was
the property Of Tom. Eubank.

A Picture of Rural Life in the North

Every farm, large and small, has its
dairy. Some make all their milk into
butter and cheese. others sell to larger
dairymen in the neighborhood. who
make cheese and butter on an extern
sive scale. In every part / have seen
the cooler is the same-made of sweet
wood, broad. and only three inches
deep. These after being emptied are
washed with a switchbroom, thus
reaching the smallest chine. 1t is then
rinsed and filed with boiling water to
stand for some time, after which it is
placed in the air to dry. So many are
used that one is never filed when
seethed. At moderate sized farm l
saw quite hundred of them.
The milk is delicious and the butter
unsurpassed. We have luxuriated on
clabber-one of Gods best gifts to man.
The people in the Northern States are
sadly ignorant in not approaching the
product of the COW. If l had to make
my choice between two cows, one who
gave rich, sweet milk which would not
sour, and the other which gave clab-
Der directly in nice, creamy flakes,
would take the latter every
time. But, thanks to bene6cent
Providence. a good COW furnishes
rich. creamy milk for our coffee and
strawberries. and the genial warmth Of
the sun turns it at the right time into
glorious bonny-clabber. Finland sends
large amounts of butter to Sweden and
to Russia. / suspect it was the long
contact with the cleanly Swedes which
made these people so neat in their
household and dairy matters For
seven months of the year cattle are
housed. The barns are very con-
venient shallow stalls, with yokes for
the animal instead of ropes to go
around the horns and thus bruise
this tenderest part of the horned
animal. Over each stall is a birchen
tub holding nearly bushel for the
COW or calf to feed from and a broad
alley between the stalls. It is now
summer and the cow-houses are not
used. but every thing is in its place
ready for use-at least found this the
case in over a dozen houses l looked

WATER IN CELLARS.
A Difficulty Which Many Farmers Ha'
to Overcome.

A Difficulty Which Many Farmers Have
to Overcome.
An inquiring friend writes: 81 have
a cellar that in the spring, such as last,
the water comes into. Cemented it,
but that has no effect except to prevent
the water going out as soon as it
might otherwise, and l am anxious to
find the best way to prevent its coming
in. There is sometimes fifteen inches
of water. Now. is there as much up
ward pressure as there would be were
the earth not there? l have feared
that this might be the real obstacle to
encounter" Excluding water from a
cellar by coat of cement on the inner
walls, and operating like cistern in
verted, where the water rises more
than few inches, is more difficult than
many suppose. Even with the best ce-
ment, the pressure of the water out
side tends to crowd the bottom up
ward by upward pressure, as well as
to crowd the side walls inward. In a
cellar, for instance, 25x3O feet, or COW
ering $50 square feet, filling with water
fifteen inches deep. the estimated up
ward pressure on the bottom would be
equal to the weight of 9S7 cubic feet OF
water, besides the pressure on the four
sides. This estimate is on the sup
position that the water can pass freely
in the porous earth, and against the
cement walls, the earth being filed or
saturated. With very compact earth.
beaten solid. against the outside walls.
the effect would be less. To overcome
this pressure, and to prevent the water
from bursting through the bottom. a
very strong cement stratum or wall
would be required. if plastered on the
inner face of the cellar walls; and the
bottom should have layer Of heavy
stone equal in weight to the upward
pressure. If the side walls when built
could be laid in water-lime mortar, the
side-pressure would be counterbal-
anced. If practicable to drain the cell
lar with q ditch, even If cut at con-
siderable expense. and amply furnished
with a good orifce for the escape Of
the water at all times. there would be
less danger of future failure. Il Build
