CHICAGO TO DENVER.
A Young Nan Who is Making
an Interesting Bicycle
Journey.

Harry Eager, d young man about
twenty years of age, came in ON his
bicycle Yesterday at 1890 = M. bound
tor Denver, Colorado. from Chicago,
us, which place he left June q,
stopping at St. Louis three days and
then resuming his journey. Mr..
Eager Is travelling on private wager
which he does not care to make
known, but in conversation with a
BAzoo reporter he said he had made
seventy-fve miles per day, and that
between Chicago and st. Louis, he
gained fifty miles. but had lost one
hundred miles from st. Louis to Sc
dalia, leaving him Nifty miles short.
This was occasioned by bad roads
caused by the recent rains he having
to walk considerable of the distance.
He travels principally on the wagon
roads when they are in good sondition;
when they are not, he takes the rail-
road track. Mr.. Eager seemed in the
best of spirits while in the
city and felt confident he would win
the race. He LETT Chicago out of
funds, (this being the contract), and
depends entirely upon brother wheel
men and other parties fer food and
lodging, and tells many good stories
of how he was treated along the road.
He was referred to DIR. f. W. Bear Of
this city, who received him royalty.
and after taking rest and hath, pro-
ceeded on his way to Kansas City,
where he will rest day or so. He
expected to stop at Warrensburg Sat-
turday night. He carries ne baggage
except a gun, and says he has no use
for that. Mr.. Eager is a light weight.
weighing only about 125 pounds,
looks mere boy, and shows wonder

1t is very convenient to have a
suburban town that is prolific of news.
A patent right vender is in trouble,
and he seems to be making the
authorities more trouble than tina!

1t was the day of the postoffice
election.
The dealer in patent rights was
there with his churn that would make
good yellow butter out of pond water
in just three minutes by a Waterbury.
He exhibited it on the sidewalk.
Just as close to the edge of the side
walk as he could get.
This did not suit the town authori-
ties and he was arrested for violating
the laws.
A trial was had before a jury two
weeks ago.
After fighting over the case all day
the jury did not agree and they were
discharged.
That was victory No. l for the
patent right dealer.
Last Friday the case was heard
again before Esquire Wheeler and a

French Divorces.

A curious question is DON under
discussion in the French chamber Of
deputies. 1t is as to whether or not
divorce women should retain the name
and title of their husbands after the
legal dissolution of the beads Of mat
rimOny. No provision was made for
this matter when the divorce laws
were first enacted by the French leg
stature Of 1884, and it is only re-
Gently that the increasing number Of
divorces in high life has lei the French
government to take the matter up.
Both the Senate and the Lower
Chamber seem to have agreed that in
case Of divorce the wife should re-
sumo her maiden name. and that
where merely a judicial separation
takes place the court should be left to
dec de as to whether the wife should
be permitted to continue to bear the
patronymic of her husband or not.
There is no doubt that if this project
becomes law the number Of divorces
will considerably decrease, especial
" in the case Of those
couples where impeeunious
titles have been mated with bour-
geois wealth, since the lady will evil
IDENTIFY be reluctant to surrender the
noble prefix to her name for which
she has in most cases been obliged to
pay very heavily. peculiar feature
in connection with divorces in France
is the relatively large number Of
couples who, after having gone to the
trouble and expense Of securing ju-
dicial dissolution ofmatrimonial bonds,
become reconciled and, IN cases where
it is possible, remarry.

A GOOD WORK.
Some Report Of What the New Mexico
Agricultural College and Expert
mental Station is Accomplish
ing for the People.

Official reports of the work in hand by
the New Mexico Agricultural College and
Experimental station have been received
by the New MEXICAN from Las Cruces.
They are carefully prepared, we'll printed
and are literally chock full of facts and
figures detailing the progress and up
building of this public institution.
1t would require columns to undertake
anything like a complete review of the
work of the college and station as set
forth in these reports, but few facts OF
more general interest may be CLEANED
therefrom.
Under the very liberal allowance by
congress for such institutions, the regents
and faculty, while limited by law as to
how much of the money shall go into
buildings and equipments, have certainly
"bullded wisely" and what with the ter
ritorial appropriation, also liberal
for the past two years, they have estab-
lished property and made improve
ments thereon the value of which to the
territory can not be estimated in dollara
| and cents.
During the fiscal year ending June &c
last, the college employed eleven instruc'
tors and the attendance of pupils num-
bered 1874. The value of farm lands il
| $4,000; total number of acres 250, Of
which fifty acres are used for agricultural
experiments carried on under the direc
ton of Prof. E. A. Blunt. In the
agricultural department the buildings
and equipment are valued at $10,778; il
the mechanical and other departments
S22, 039 is the cost of the buildings
while the equipment is valued at some
$1,000.
But it is in the experimental depart
ment relating to agriculture and its
kindred subjects that the good work Of
the institution counts most. President
Hadley in his reports to the governor anc
the secretary of the interior makes
copious extracts from reports made by
the heads of the various departments anc
results obtained, thus putting into prac
tical form and circulation vast lot Of
| just such information as is needed by the
farmer, the fruit grower, the stock raiser
in new country like this where
there is such vast range of elevation
mean temperature, rain fall, soil, etc
Not the least feature of the work is the
issuance of bulletins touching these vari
Gus sub jects and showing results obtain
ed by experiments carried on at the
college. Copies of these should be in the
hands of every farmer in New Mexico
The college will cheerfully mail them tc
all applicants. Prof. Hadley also ap'
proves of the policy of establishing sub
agricultural stations at various points in
the territory and promises the aid and
cooperation of the regents and faculty
of the parent institution in the upbulld
ing of such branch stations.

1t is understood that Mr.. Cobb's candi-
