EHVUETTR OF THR VISITING CARD.


Etiquette is no end end Of trouble to
Americans. There 10 q general endeavor
to do the polite thing, and the presence
Of q Ward McAllister in our midst pre-
vents absolute sacrilege in the matter Of
social customs. But there are many
things the social world is not quite sure
about, and English etiquette only helps
Us out, without absolutely establishing
rules for us.
The little point Of first calls" il settled
by an unalterable social code in England,
and the way in which the visiting card 10
managed shows no small degree the or
der Of society to which the owner belongs.
For instance. it is considered bad form to
send in q card when first visit is made.
This Is the invarisble method Of q book
canvasser or an applicant for money, or
even thepurchaser Of "Old Clothes" The
ilrst Eve minutes would then be taken up
with the explanation that you were not
any Of these Il. not knowing the common
usage, you sent in your card.
This Is al very well in . country where
servants have been trained from the be-
ginning Of time in the habits Of good
society,"" but in the country, where ser
wants Of all nationalities are employed,
and where It is no unusual thing for .
mistress TO make dozen ''ebanges'' in Q
year, IL Is far from certain that visitors
name will be properly announced, and
the custom isquite prevalent Of sending In
q card. On Irregular at home days cards are
entirely out Of place, but on the occasion
Of reception q card is invariably LEFT on
the hall table before departure.
As TO how soon a frSt call should be
returned, 4 the visitor 10 one Whoes &c.
quaintance you are very anxious to make,
the return visit should be made within
ten days. II you neglect 70 carry out
this formal acceptance q the friendship
Of your visitor, unless there is Q rood
reason, she has . right TO feel aggFievsd
and judge that you do not care for her
acquaintance.

NORTH YAKIMA, WASHINGTON THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1891.

The stone was forced out with some
difficulty by aid Of q crowbar and an
opening in the ground six feet deep was
revealed. The side had been roughly
walled up with fiat stones, but no steps
could be seen. Many such excavations,
presumably made by the Aztecs, can be
seen to-day in any number Of places
throughout Mexico.
Lowering himself into this pit Don
Rodriguez found q tunnel large enough 10
admit a map's body, branching of at
right angles. Passing through this open
ing and provided with lantern he found
that it gradually increased in size until il
assumed the proportions Of chamber
large enough to stand erect in.
Two other tunnels branched of in
different directions. The walls Of the
chamber, which were Of solid stone,
were carved with figures Of Aztec indi-
viduals, while the writing used by the
AEtecs could be seen in many places.
Following the tunnel which branched to
the right he entered still larger room.
Here he found on the floor q stone box,
nearly three feet square. Forcing of the
lid he saw an earthenware vessel, which
on picking up proved to be quite heavy.
Emptying the contents on the floor, there
was exposed to view large heavy gold
ring, curiously chased and engraved with
peculiar signs and figures, about one
dozen absithian arrow heads, q number
Of small rubies and voluminous roll Of
Aztec parchment, covered with hero
glyphics, the meaning Of which Rodri-
guez could not understand.
Evening was approaching and he could
not prosecute his search any longer.
Returning to the entrance Of the cave he
replaced the stone and 30 concealed its
presence that It could not be discovered
by the others. Three hours later he was
at his apartments in the City Of Mexico.
On the following day he submitted the
ring and roll Of parchment to several
archeoligists Of repute. They unhesitat-
ingly declared their convictions that the
first had once been the official ring Of
some AEtec priest Of high rank, and
apart from its intrinsic worth was OF
great value from an archaeological point
Of view.
The roll Of parchment, the writing on
which they could not completely decipher'
contained much important and hitherto
unknown history OF the Aztec people ana
the invasion Of Mexico by the spaniards,
and also the description and location ot
an immense quantity ot Aztec treasure
hidden in the neighboring state wnich
had been recovered from the hiding place
where the manuscript was found. In
addition to this was the announcement
that the wearer Of the ring would DO pre-
served from all harm while oelnG worn
on the finger.
A few days later be was summoned to
London by cable on business connected
with large transaction pending between
himself and some English capitalists.
During his his journey he wore the Aztec
ring. While travelling between st. Louis
and Cincinnati his tram met win an
accident, four people in his car being
killed and a number injured. Don Rod

The statistics of transatlantic travel
present some figures that are simply
amazing. While the exact figures of
$4,000 cannot be ascertained it is GER
tain that at least twenty times as many
people now go abroad annually as did
forty years ago. Indeed it is not so very
long ago that voyage to Europe made
one noted individual in three fourths
of the country. Now every considerable
village has citizens who can talk intelli-
gently Of what they saw abroad" and
in the cities it is rare to find well to do
man of middle age who has not taken a
long sea voyage. At least 10000 Ameri-
cans went abroad last year, and expend-
ed, the reporters say, at least $1,000
apiece on the average. Sixty millions
is good deal of money for young ma
ton to spend in seeing old countries, and
buying curios and foreign clothing, yet
the companies are looking forward to q
better business this year, as there is no
Campaign" on hand, and many want to
go before '93, when the interest will CEN
ter at Chicago.

morning, to view the premises and see II
the place is good enough to keep several
hundred garbage fed hogs. There was
not full meeting, as First Selectman
Edward Hawkins was detained by grip
and DR. Osborne by professional business;
while Donovan was detained, as ne eA-
planned, by an important law suit IN wa
terbury. He, however, sent Charles
Smith, former owner of the property, TO
explain the situation of the farm and the
probable location of the pig stye. The
members of the board present (Justices
Brothwel and Sherwood, Selcctmen
Richard.an Rufus Jennings) followed
Mr. Smith over the farm of about l25
acres of good land. 1t lies mostly along
the south or east bank of Mill river, a
mile or so back of Fairfield Woods. Along
the river, the land is fiat, then dips sharp
lv down to the river bed; further back,
it rises to a gravelly ridge. On this ridge,
Donovan proposes to keep his hogs, Sc
curely fencing them in. The general
trend of the land is of course toward the
river. but this hill is at such distance
from the river and the intervening soil OF
such nature that it is unlikely that much
of the filth of the piggery would WASH
down into the stream. strong point
advanced by Mr. Smith was that the place

an offensive nature could rise from cart
ing the garbage through the streets. IN
closed, water tight wagons, of which
Donovan has seven on hand. ''There is
no certainty that Donovan will have the
contract for more than one year." said
Mr. Smith, 'and it is then his intention
to turn this property into stock farm,
raise booded horses, etc. On the 10
acres on that ridge, Donovan could keep
1900 to 1900 hogs, but suppose he would
have less than half of that number, for
he subjects contracts and some of the gar
bage, under his new contract, goes to his
piggeries at Fairfield, some to Nichols,
some to Black Rock and deal he carts
to the town farm. "This, however. will
soon be stopped, as the pigs are being
possible.' The board reserved its decis-
ion and will report at an adjourned meet
ing at the Town house, next week Mon
day. 1t is not improbable that, if he fur
nishes satisfactory bond for the faithful
performance of his contract to allow no
nuisance, Donovan will be allowed to es-
tablsh piggery there.-A spirited horse
