Patrons of The Fort .tkiDson creamery
received $147 and ST. so for their Novem-
ber milk, besides the skinned and but
ter-milk, which, if figured at 80 cents per
hundred, and it is worth more than this
at present prices of pork and cost of other
feeding stuffs, brings the price up to about
$1.70 per hundred of milk delivered
The statement given out by the company
shows that the butter averaged 34.37
cents per pound and that trihe over
twenty pounds of milk was used to make
pound of butter. The average price
paid for milk for the past twelve months
by this creamery, lacks less than one cent
of being $1.00 per hundred, or ST. 20 con-
sideripg the skinned milk Onion.

Has a Divided Heart.

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 2.-The Medical
society devoted the better part of its sss-
sion to-day t, the examination of William
King, the colored man who is said to have
two hearts. He is about 45 years of age.
The examination proved that be had a
divided heart, such as is found in the
lower animal kingdom. The heart beats
perceptibly on both sides, only the sound
is less perceptible on the right than on
The left. He claims to be able to drop his
ribs like set of double action window
blinds. but this was done, it was detected,
by bis control of the oblique, transverse
and rectus muscles. He claims that he
can change the locality of bis double
hearts, but this was pronounced piece
of jugglery, the result of long practice.
He caused his hearts, pulse and temple
to cease beating for period of sixty Sec
onds, and physicians pronounced 1t sue
cessful effort. King is now in the county
Jail for being drunk and disorderly.

1t is not often that seasickness
proves fatal; and yet that it may do sc
under aggravated circumstances, can
easily be imagined. Such an instance
recently occurred on the steamer

girl, aged eight years, in whom the
seasickness terminated in convulsion
which proved fatal.
An old writer says: "a long CHR

serpents. If the end of the chin be

but the chin of a real man is square.

AS FOR THE WEATHER,

though it sometimes freezes in the noun
tains between November and March, the
heat of the lowlands, especially through
July and August, is almost inconceivable to
one at the north. The sailors ofIthe gulf,
when wishing to allude to the warmest
place they know-instead of referring to
sheol, after the manner of sad sea dogs in
general-say Hot as Guaymas." The
only water to be had that is drinkable
comes from deep well just outside the
town, and the ''sweet water'' therefrom,
pedded by donkeyboys, sometimes brings
five cents per glass. 1t is an odd circum-
stance that the house of our American con
sui at Guaymas, Colonel Willard, should
once have been bombarded by one of our
own gunboats, and fast imbedded in its
timbers may still be seen a shell, shot from
the Portsmouth many years ago.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.

In some places it is so narrow as scarcely
to afford room for a single street, and in
others it spreads out a little, at one point
uniting with gulch which runs down from
the mountains here making room for the
cramped city to stretch its limbs Farther
up to the westward, there is another space
where the residence quarter of the town
has expanded somewhat; but the business
portion of GuaymaS must always maintain
itself as best it can along deep water On
this narrow strip, between the immeasur-
able sea and the everlasting hills, lies, or
rather Clings an important city, with a
population variously estimated between
1000 and 10000; should it ever become u
great commercial centre, as prophesied, it
will be necessary to extend it out into the
bay ON ''made land''-as part of Boston is
built. The railroad company were obliged
to blast away the back of a mountain to find
room for their buildings.
To the casual observer, it would seem as
if this was no place for town, though so
beautiful in a scenic point of view; aud one
wonders what the inhabitants would do
should tidal wave come along, or a boom
of magnitude overtake it. In the former
case, it certainly would not be desirable
residence, for should such a catastrophe
occur the nearby mountains would afford
little chance for escape, their PERCEPTIONS
sides being, for the most part, sheer cliffs
of bare rock which goat could not climb.
The well-informed citizen, however, insists
that here is ample room for 100000 people,
aud is doing his perpetual best

on any pretext whatever. Some say that
the city might expand across the inner bay
in various directions, thus making modern
Venice of it, or one of those lake cities of
modern times such as the Mexican capital
used to be in its earliest days. They might
go farther and add floating gardens, like
those of Mrs Aztel Tenochtitdan, for there
are not likely to be any others in this rocky
soil, even if there were space for them, and
all things are possible to the sanguine i'm
aginings of real estate dealers.
But the facts remain, unfortunately, that
the shabby little town, liable to be depopu-
lated any day by yellow jack, looks Just
ready to let go its precarious hold upon the
rocks and tumble bodily into the sea; and
every tree or flower or bit of greenery that
grows in all the region round about-except
cacti, mesquit and chapparel-has been
carefully cultivated in foreign dirt, brought
here by the ship-load for that purpose.
OF the Cactus family there is an infinite
variety, and when in bloom the dry, stiff
ungraceful stalks are gorgeous in red, yell
low, purple pink, white and blue flowers,
some of them Of marvellous beauty, few
fragrant, and all of astonishing size But
be careful how you touch one of those
tempting blossoms! Their stems are
covered with millions of pale yellow thorns
