Some idea Of the extent of production

houses around them. They were
allowed other rooms for their pa
tents. A faithful matron, Mrs. Price,
made the care of these sick patients a
success. Mrs. j. A. Miller, assisted by
the Grant county representatives to the
legislature, obtained an appropriation Of
$3.50 per month from the territory. Mrs.
d. Abrahams became its president, Mrs.
o.. S. Warren its secretary, Mesdames
Ashenfelter, Rosenberg, with Mrs. Miller,
directors, and Mrs. Altman treasurer.
The names indicate the character OF its
management No one is refused adj
mission on account of faith, race, or
nationality. Clergymen of every name
have free access to the patients. The &C.
counts are kept in the strictest way, and
all the money fully accounted for. BY
economy and the generous patronage OF
those who could pay for treatment, these
ladies' have been able to build brick
building which in connection with the
others furnishes room for thirty beds.
The rooms are comfortable, clearly. and
everything indicates the most scrupulous
care and skilful attention to the wants

The grounds around the houses are prettily
ornamented with trees, vines and shrub
berry, and there are undoubtedly many
rich deposits of silver, copper and gold in
these mountains on every side to justify
the name OF the town.
The Improvements are very notice
able. AS the county seat Of Grant
county it is the suitable location for pub
lie buildings, having temperate, health
nl climate, with on altitude Of over COCO
feet, and an excellent system of water
works supplied from an underground
flow through the valley.

to the inch. The distributing system has
four water mains OF an aggregate length
of nearly six miles. The water is taken
from the valley mile above the town
and has its sources in several mountain
springs. lis analysis shows it to be pure
and soft.
These water works, completed within q
year of their inception, in May, 1887, have
a fifty year franchise, and twenty acres Of
land, on which is two story stone build
ing, 30x97, for the pump works, and an
engineers residence. The income is
nearly $4,000 per year from the city,
which rents twenty-three fire hydrants,
from several stamp mills and cattle
ranches and from private property holders
The pumping capacity is 1000 900 gallons
per day, and the company can sell an
average of 100000 gallons daily besides
furnishing smelling, milling and ice plants,
which are already projected for the utiliza
ton OF the water power already acquired.
The pumping system, combined with the
reservoir, provides perfect fire protection
for the city. Thus enterprise and perse-
verance has accomplished, with no water
in sight, what is not yet secured for Santa
Fe with strong mountain stream flowing
through the center OF the town.
The character of citizens of COM
munity is frequently estimated by the
schools which they sustain. Ihave found
in Silver City aunion public school, with Il
substantial brick building of two stories
containing four large and well furnished
school rooms. Here is good specimen
OF what public school system will do for
all the towns OF New Mexico. Tie pri-
mary grade room has sixty children the
intermediate as many more; the grammar
and high school have each about forty
pupils. Prof. Goggin, the principal is
assisted by three intelligent lady teachers,
and though the principal has held this
position but two months he appeared to
be gentleman well qualified to raise the
standard Of scholarship in year or two
to that of the best graded schools. The
sight OF this school was cheering to one
who has long watched for progress in
public education in New Mexico. Here
were 200 bright children who worthily
represent community that educates its
youth at public expense, and will growup
to possess the land and honor the state
by loyal and intelligent citizenship.
Near the union school is the. academy
OF Our Lady of Lourdes. 1t occupies a
fine commodious brick building, which
has cost $4,000 with its furnishings.
The situation is conspicuous and health
full. There are nine Sisters of Mercy in

Change is one of the irresistible laws of
nature, and fortunately the change is al
most invariably for the better. AS an in
stance of this, st. Patrick's Pills are fast
taking the place of the old harsh and

and produce pleasanter effect, besides
they are much more beneficial in remov-

rior, Mother Paul, gave ire
an interesting account of the
work of her order in New
Mexico. Their first establish
ment was at Las Animas, N.
NJ, whence the Sisters moved
to Mesilla and thence to Silver
City and made this the center
OF their benevolent work, while
at Mesilla and at Las Animas
they have branch establish
ments. Their buildings were
erected by subscriptions in
this vicinity. They have foun-
ded a hospital in this town,
which has but q few patients
at present. The boarding de-
partment OF their school is for
girls whose ages are from 7 to
II years, and they usually
have from ten TO twenty board
ers. English is taught in this
school. The Spanish and
French languages are incl-
dental to the special demands
of the pupils.
Six years ago the ladies Of
Silver City were moved to the

members of the city council of New

transportation from points in the State
of Louisiana to different points along
their road through and into other states

The minority of the committee insist
upon hearing those who are in favor of a
reduction of the tariff as well as those
who favor the present schedule. The
committee therefore, when it meets after
Christmas, will hear both sides of the
question.
In three weeks, ended last Saturday,
President Harrison sent to the senate
1929 messages containing the nOmina-

senate adjourned Saturday afternoon
there had been made public the conhrma-
ton of about 1000 otthese nominations,
great majority of them postmasters
The judiciary committee is noted for the
deliberate manner i'll which it considers
matters referred to it, so it is not sur
prising that only small proportion OF
nominations of judges and officers of the
United States courts all over the country
have been confirmed. The nominations
OF o. w. Chapman to be solicitor general,
of Alphonzo. Hart to be solicitor of in

be solicitor of the treasury, are still un-

Of the diplomatic nominations the
following have not been confirmed: :
George Nancy, minister to Paraguay
and Uruguay; R. G. Pitkin, minister to
the Argentine Republic; Clark E. Carr,

Statistics of Southern LOSS and
Growth.

Manufacturers Record of to-day, in
showing the phenomenal increase OF
wealth in the South since 1880, Incl
dentallv portrays the vast loss inflicted
on that section by the event of the civil
war. In 1860 the assessed value OF
property in the whole United Dtates was
S12, 900 100000 of which the South
had S5, 200, 900, 900, or n per cent.
The South was at that time the rich and
prosperous section. Mississippi, for ex-
ample, had $16O, 100000 more of prop
erty than Connecticut, and was fourth
in the list of States in per capita valua-
ton. The census of 1878 indicated a
vast destruction of property in the van
uuished section. 1t had but So, ,O64, ,00O,-

| ing S2,1OO, 100000. The Record esti.
mates the real loss at $5,000,O 1000 600
As the Record puts the valuation for
1889 at 81, ,22O, 166, 400 it would appear
that the South is still poorer than she

WHO KILLED COCK ROB1Nq
An Old Story Told In a New and
Most Attractive WAY,

We have been delighted with the new
version of this old nursery story, dear to
babyhood, and which the powers OF men,
ory and association keep alive in the
mind as tender link with the era of sim
plicity, innocence and credulity. 1t is the
work of Mr.. R. D. Gilmer, of Waynesville,
N. c., printed in New York in a style OF
Christmas elegance oftype and illustra-
tod, handsome present for the chill
dren, and as good as it looks. Mr.. Gil
mer wrote it for the amusement of his
little boy, but it's fight is high enough
to interest grown folks; for very preg-
nant moral is conveyed in the treatment
of guilt or innocence of the accused, OF
the value of evidence, of the circumstan-
ces which convict or extenuate, of the
ingenuity of counsel of the wisdom ot
the judge, and OF the fairness and intelli-
gence of the jury. Under cover of fable,
is very clear, perhaps satirical, delinea-
tion of the course of justice. Grown
folks may read with profit, the little
ones will certainly do so with pleasure.
For is not the story Of cock robin true
one? Did not "once upon a time" the
birds all talk and act, and have their
ways like men and women? And here we
have all our own birds with which we
are familiar, talking and acting like the
birds in old times and across the sea,
where the old story came from, +l'e robin
and the sparrow, and tn, ven and til.
Jay, and the quail and ne la.k, among
whom we find judges aat jurors and
lawyers and sherifs, al 4 the inevitable
complement of murder, end criminals and
trials.

SCENE ON A CAR.
Timber SmashInR Through the
Windows.

BosroN, December 29.-As the Port
land express from Boston was passing
freight train on the Boston and Maine
railroad near this station this evening
heavy piece of timber became unfas-
tened from one of the freight cars and
struck the front end of the rear car of the
express. The express was running at the
rate of forty miles an hour, and the tim
Der crashed through the car, raking it
broadside, breaking every window sash
on that side and covering the passen-
gers with glass and splinters.
The cars were heavily loaded with
passengers, and a number of ladies
tainted from fright, while fifteen or
twenty of them were more or less cut
about the face and shoulders. Ore NO
man was unconscious for several hours,
and is reported to be fatally injured.
Upon the arrival of the train at Lawrence
the injured passengers were cared for,
and most of them were able to continue
their journey. The accident delayed trains
half an hour.
