Duels by the Thousand.

For the decade $4,000, the duel sta
tistics of Italy record for the entire king
dom 2, 759 duels, most Of them military.
The hotter the weather the more duels,
while in very cold weather spells the
figures tapered off. Thus seven-eighths
of the whole number took place in sum-
mer and one eighth in winter. Only
fifty deaths resulted out of all these
duels, ninety of which were fought with
the sword, 9, $50 with the saber, and the
rest with the pistol. Ordinary quarrels
produced 80; press and political dis
cussions, 1,322; love, 1SS; religious ques-
tions, 90. Most of the duels took place
at Naples and the fewest at Venice

CHEERFUL PHILOSOPHY,

/
World and It's beauties.
don't own much of this world, writes a
| cheerful philosopher to the New York Led
ger, but ahl how maLy men build hand
| some houses for me to look at, and fill their
yards with flowers for me to nod to, and
place the most beautiful faces of the family
| in the window to cheer me as passl Sure
ly this is a kind-hearted world And then
| how many fine country-seats are built and
grounds laid out for my enjoyment. The
fee simple may be in some man, but own
them; for he owns a thing that understands
1t best, and gets the most enjoyment from
it.
The world was made for poor men, and
therefore the greater part of it was left out
Of doors, where every body could enjoy it;
and though men have been building and
fencing for six thousand years, they have
succeeded in getting very little of the uni
versal treasure seQuestered and out of
sight. Suppose you can not plow that fer
tile field, or own the crops, or reap the har-
vests; is there no pleasure to you in fine
field, growing crop, good harvest? In
fact, sometimes fancy that / enjoy plow-

paid thousands Of dollars for them; he has

aud premises; he keeps several careful men
to tend them, and all for my enjoyment and
yours! We will walk through the fields,
handle their silky vests, discuss their points
and enjoy the whole herd as much as the

New Mex,eo for Home-seekers.


Over 100000 acres of Government land
Is yet vacant in New Mexico subject to en-
try under pre-emption. homestead, timber
culture, and desert land laws. Much OF
this is productive agricultural land, capa6le
of cultivation without irrigation.
The market for farm products is good.
Prices for same are 80 per cent to 80 per
cent. higher than in States east of the
Rockies. For successful and profitable
fruit growing, the irrigated valleys of New
Mexico can not be surpassed. The climate
is invigorating and free from malaria. Ex-
tremes of heat and cold are not severe.
New Mexico Is reached directly via Santa

Obi Dear land of Kheml as in q dream

standard on thy shores, and its yoke upon
thy neck; see new religions without end,
calling out their truths upon the banks of
Sihor, and summoning thy people to wor-
ship; see thy temples-thy holy temples
crumbling in the dust-a wonder to the
sight of men unborn, who shall peer into
thy tombs and desecrate the great ones of
thy glory; 1 see thy mysteries mockery to
the unlearned, and thy wisdom wasted like
waters on the desert sands. see the Ro-
man eagles stoop and perish, their beaks yet
red with the blood Of men, and the long
lights dancing down the barbarian spears
that follow in their wake; and then, at last,
/ see thee once more great, once more free,
and having once more knowledge of thy
Gods-aye, thy Gods with changed coun-
tenance and called by other names, but still
thy Gods.
