THE LUMHOLTz PARTY
Heard From at Last, and Are Making Many Important Dis> cOVerieS.

The Lumholtz party. which left Bis bee last September, has been heard from. Prof. Libby, ons of the party, passed through the City of Mexico a few days since on his way back to his home. The Two Republics states that the collections thus far made run into the hundreds, consisting of specimens in botany, large collection of bird skins and of minerals. Among the bird skins are number of entirely new varieties. In the Sierra Madre mountains of northern Chihuahua and Sonora they found evidence of a dense population in the remote past. The houses were built of stone and mud and had fallen down many years since, and in 50 doing had broken the pot tery and other utensils within. Those built of adobe were in a better condi- ton and contained some interesting specimens. They found fragments of pottery and household implements, all sufficiently similar to those of the Pueblo builders of tue east, south and north to show that they were connect ed with them.

The report on artesian water supply just issued by the government shows that Nevada has G7 flowing wells, and they have proven so valuable that the board of reclamation commissioners of that state claim that not less than 6,0OO, 900 acres of now arid land can be rendered fertile by irrigation-in other words, an area one fourth that of Ohio. This is doubtless somewhat exaggerated, but it seems like.y that in both Utah and Nevada considerable areas can be readily reclaimed in that way. In Texas some 7O0 flowing wells are reported, but this number is scattered over such vast area that few deductions can be made from the facts observed.

 A special from Oklahoma says A deplorable state of affairs exists among the negroes who have lately emigrated to this territory. They have come to the number of several thousand, with the understanding that the government would feed and give them piece of land, and they are opening their eyes to the fact that the land is already taken by white men and that the government will not feed them, and as they have no money and there is no work for them to do, they are in deplorable condi. ton.

Over three hun ired thousand bottles of Chamberlain's s Cough Remedy are now sold each year, and it is recognized as "the best made," wherever known.

The California Southern is still in bad shape in the Cajon pass, while it may be two weeks or more before the Southern Pacific can get a train through to California. The Atlantic and Pacific will be kept quite busy for a time, as in addition to their delayed freight Southern Pacific freight for California will pass over their line.

That Isiopcment Again.
IcoMAIuNIoATED.l

Your correspondent wns mistaken
when he said the Tilted suitor followed
the elopers with fearful eyes and
breaking heart. His stolld indiffer-
enee about the matter has puzzled
even his most intimate friends. He
thinks he was fortunate to escape an
alliance with one whose love was 30
unreliable. But there are some very
laughable things connected with the
affair. The evening of the elopement,
while the mother OF the tickle girl sat
before blazing fire with her Invalid
son, the only one left at home with
her, busily engaged putting some fin
ishing touches upon the preparations
for the coming wedding OF her daugh-
ter to Mr.. Jeryis, she proceeded to re-
late to him n clandestine visit she had
lately made to an Accomac fortune
teller, who told her she was in great
distress over one of her daughters;
but that her daughter would elope
with the young man she so strongly
opposed, ''and you see, Frank, what
an old liar she is.n
She knows nothing about it, and in
few days will be SO convinced her
self, have no fears now that Salfle
will marry Ben Scott. Slle will never
prove false to Fletcher Lewis, and at
that moment Scott and Sallie were
eloping, proving how true, at least
this once, were the words OF this old
fortune-teller.
! A year or moro ago, the mother had
compelled her daughter to remove
from the house q wall photo of Mr..
| Scott. II was carried to neighbors.
| But she was now so well convinced
that Scott was entirely out of the race
for Sallie, that she consented for the
prohibited photo to be returned. II
was at once restored to its nail on the
parlor wall. The next morning when
she heard of the elopement she had
her horse harnessed to come to Oman.
cock to gather up some articles ot
clothing in making for the recreant
daughter, determined she should not
have the intended trosseau. But as
she was leaving, she called to her son
and told him to take Ben Scotts pic
ture and burn it to ashes.
| The son promised to comply with
her request, and the irate mother
drove of. On herreturn she went into
the parlor to see il Scott's picture had
been destroyed. But there 1t still
hung, as she Thought. She at once
snatched it down, smashed 1t into
| splintels and threw it into the fire.
She hnl scarcely finished the job when
her son said, Mother YOU have de-
stroyed my own picture. / put mine
in the place of Scott's which l de
stroyed." She had failed to put on hei
spectacles at this iuncture, and was
unable to tell whose picture she was
destroying.

and preached two powerful sermons
that would be an honor to any man.
His text in the morning was Heb. II,
IA, and in the evening John /, 20. They
had good effect upon the people, and
no doubt made lasting Impressions on
their minds. We were very glad to
see him renew old acquaintances and
enjoy his work. We hope he will
come often, for he would always have
u hearty welcome. He and Bro. Dol

on Tuesday morning, when the flames
quickly spread to the adjoining build
