Supreme Court Decision.

From Silver City Eenterprise: The
supreme court has Just rendered the
following decision in reference 10 the
Sierra county Indebtedness to D0na
Ana:
The opinion is by Justice Reeves and
the decision of the lower court is af-
hrmed. The Dona Ana county board
of commissioners, in their bill of COM
plaint set up that on April 3, 1884, the
legislative assembly OF New Mexico
passed the act creating the new county
of Sierra and thereby cut of and de-
prived Dona Ana county OF large
portion of the county of Sierra. and
therein providing that the Indebtedness
of Dona Ana county existing at the
date of the approval of the act should
he apportioned between the county OF
Dona Ana and the county of Sierra on
the basis of the last assessment of pro-
perty made for the purpose of taxation
in the county of Dona Ana, as the same
stood at the date ard prior to the pass
age of the act. and In proportion to the
amount of taxable property from the
county of Dona Ana.
The Dona Ana people sued for sl4,-
4l0.5O as the proportion of the indebt-
edness due from the county of Sierra
by reason of the apportionment, aud
prayed for $4,000 damages together
with interest and costs of suit. The
lower court found that Sierra county
was indebted to Dona Ana In the sum
OF Si4,O6595, with per cent. interest
and costs of suit. The cause was taken
up on several pleas of error. but Judge
Henderson's decision IN the district
court was sustained.

DINSMORE!

One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
Savannah, Florida & Western
Railroad, Just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful horti,
cultural and truck-grewing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
Thesland can be obtained at re.
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present slow
figures poor man can make regu-
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. II is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many. times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec.
ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, $5. 1t must be remember
| ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj ,cent to
Dinsmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which We offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at s. acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
thS Railroad to you.
Truck farming around Dinsmore
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson,
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. {. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains PEI day ami
the round trip will only cost TWEEN,
ty-five cents. Trout creek, large
stream, passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying q good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and q half to two dollars per day,

Why "John" Took to Washing.

There are no laundrymenin China.
No linen is worn there. The rich use
silk and wooden undergarments, and
the poor wear wooden or cotton. As
starching and ironing are unknown,
the female servants do all the laun-
dry work. The reason of the great
number of iaundrymen here is that
when the Union Pacific Railroad
threw hundreds of Cinnamon out of
employment they cast about for
something to do, and as there was q
great demand for washerwomen, and
scant supply of them in the West,
the Monogolian turned his attention
to her trade. He learned it SO quick
ly and so well that he stuck to it,
and made so much money that the
calling soon became popular. Grad
ually the laundrymen came East, and
no city, and now few villages Of
any size in the whole country are
without Chinese laundry. From
the San Francisco Call.

A "Masher" Suppressed.

He was a good looking young
man, but he appeared to be just as
fresh as he really was as he alighted
from the New York Central train at
Rome, n. Y. There was wait of
nearly half an hour at Rome, but he
saw an awfully pretty girl pacing the
platform, and didn't mind. After
grinning at her for few moments
he approached, and taking off his hat
with an elaborate bow, remarked:
pardon me, but this is Rome, is
it not 2"
ayes, sir" she replied.
ECan you direct me to the resi-
dence Of Caius Brutus?" he required.
"No, sir, can not. He's dead,
and if you'll excuse me, it's about
time you died." and then the fresh
young mon retreated, and spent the
remaining time in studying the time
tables.

Home, Farm and Garden.

One of the best absorbents Of ami
NAL odors around the stable Is dry
dirt. Keep a supply on hand ander
cover for use when needed.
Corn fodder cut fine, moistened
and sprinkled with corn meal or bran,
is eaten up clean, and viii double the
feeding capacity of your farm.
A nice lawn can be secured by
keeping clear during the summer and
fall, and then getting in a good con-
dition and sowing the seed early in
the spring.
If there be any place in the garden
where the soil is poor and in which
nothing seems to thrive, Floral Home
says, plant it out thickly with petu-
Mas. These will thrive through any
drought and produce an endless sup
ply Of beautiful flowers throughout
the season.
Plants sometimes need variety
of food as well as animals. Variety
gives them all that may be needed.
A plant will not thrive if given an
excess of one kind of food and stint
ed in another. In applying fertili-
zers the object should be to use sub
stances that are lacking, to a certain
extent, in the soil.
When ivory has been kept long it
is apt to diminish in weight, owing
to the loss of gelatine. of which it is
partly composed. This may be rem
edied by soaking the article in So
luton of that substance. 1t is in
consequence of ivory being thus in
fluenced that in making very minute
measurements it is seldom employed.
1t is useless to try to get good
flowers from bulbs in winter unless
you give them chance to get good
start at the roots before the top be-
gins to grow. II potted and placed
Immediately in the window the ac-
ton of light and heat win induce the
top to start at the same time the
roots are forming, and the result will
be a weak and unhealthy growth.
In cooking oatmeal or cracked
wheat, if the meal is put into dou-
bic boiler, and salt added to the wa
ter in the outer receptacle, the food
will be very much improved in taste.
the reason being undoubtedly be-
cause the meal is better cooked by
this process. AS the sailed water
does not boil at so low temperature
as unsalted, therefore the meal is
subjected to greater heat, aud is
proportionately better cooked and
much improved thereby.

The Bloodhound.

The bloodhound has much more deli
cate nose than any other known breed o!
hound. and can puzzle out cold scent
under the most adverse conditions. He
is remarkable for adhering to the scent
on which he is laid. Some years since O
pack of st9ghounds was kept in Derby.
shire, andSht was no infrequent occur.
renee for the hunted deer to take refuge
among herd in some park. In this case
the pack was whipped off and couple
of bloodhounds laid on, who stuck to the
hunted deer until they got him clear OF
the herd. WREN the pack was again laid
on.
The bloodhound is easily entered tc
hunt anything, and with a strong scent
will sometimes absolutely sit down on
his launches for a few seconds and
throw tongue in sheer delight. The
note is very deep, mellow and prolonged,
and may be heard for miles. The bay,
or Singing. of kennel of bloodhounds
just before feeding or exercising is most
melodious
The bloodhound was originally so slow
that in border warfare he was taken up
and carried on horseback for a time
when the pursuers came to soft ground
where the trail was visible. If the horse
of that period was faster than the blood.
hound. the latter must indeed have been
slow.-Century.

Velocity of "A Rullef.

How fast does a bullet travel? If it is
in proper shape for travelling, Col. Flag
her and his officers say thought to go at
the raHe of 1878 feet per second upon
leaving the rifle. This matter of speed
is very important, and if cartridge is
five or ten feet too fast or too slow the
quantity Of powder must be changed.
This matter of speed is tested in very
interesting way.
At the northern end of the arsenal
grounds is long wooden shed. in which
distance of 100 feet has been carefully
marked-off, At either end of this space
is stand something like target, with
large circular opening where the bulls.
eye would be. Across each opening is
stretched q small electric wire. connect.
ed with delicate instrument in another
room.
The rifle from which the firing is done
is so aimed that the bullet which flies
from it cuts both wires. Obviously the
difference in time between the cutting
of the first end of the second wire will
mark the speed of the bullet through
100 feet. The measurement of this brief
space or time is done by an instrument
Of French invention called the Boulinge
chronograph. When the first wire is cut
an electric circuit is broken and rod
which is suspended from magnet falls
short distance, touching in its descent
point which makes a mark on its side.
The breaking of the second wire lets
drop a second smaller rod in the same
way. By means of the difference in the
marks on the rods it is possible to esti-
mate the difference in the time of their
falling, and from this the speed of the
bullet per second This is "A provision
