THE LAS CRUCES MUDDLE

Silver City, N. NJ, Dec. II, 1894
Editor SOUTHWEST SENTINEL;
In last weeks Rio Grande Re-
publican appeared what purported
to be an interview with Col. A. j.
Fountain, on Mr.. c. NJ. Shannon's s
report of conditions in Dona Ana
county. In this ''interview" Foun-
tain denies having signed afidayits
against Judge A. b. Fall. Possibly
this is true, as it is a well known
fact that the Santa Fe-Las Cru
ces colonels are accustomed to
borrowing paws with which to pull
chestnuts out of the fire. Fountain
is no exception, though he seems
to rank lower, since the Elder SUI
perseded him in the Socorro con-
vention.
Hon. c. M. Shannon has been a
resident of New Mexico for many
years. His avocations, especially
as a newspaper man, his residence
in the Mesilla valley and his gen.
eral cognizance Of peculiar meth.
ods practiced on tho Santa Fe-
Las Cruces colonels, admirably fl
him for a correct estimate Of such
men MS are puppets in the hands
OF Catron. To point out one OF
A. j. Fountains special chorac.

tion Mr. Shaunon's ability and
readiness 10 discriminate between

Ants which Protect the Beautlful Floy
FROM Human Enemies.


Ants which Protect the Beautiful Flower
FROM Human Enemies.
On the fork of a tree a few feet
above our heads is perched one Of the
largest orchids we have ever seen. A
mass Of aerial roots, bulbs and leaves,
four feet through, is surmounted by
|. a score Of long, whiplike flower stems
standing up 10 feet beyond the leaves
and gracefully arching over. 'Now,
Adonis Christmas, let us see you get
that plant. Don't break it, or rub of
the flowers against those bush ropes"
The negro takes his cutlass and be-
gins chopping away at some Of the
vines which hang IN front, and pres
entity Is clasping the tree on level
with the orchid. We see him tug
once at the plantand then slide down
the tree, rubbing his hands and swear
ing loudly. what is the matteri
Why don't you get tho piantf' says
the collector. ''Too much antses-
bite too bad, replies he, with an in
jured look, as he rubs his shining
black skin. ooh, but we must get
1t, and IL the negroes are afraid Ill
go up myself, cries our friend.
Up he climbs and is down again
much faster than the negro Stand
ing on the bank, he quickly strips off
his coat and picks the great black
ants from his neck and hands, rubs
the sore places, grumbling and sore
ly discounted. Looking up, we sec
the plant almost black with insects,
which had evidently put themselves
in battle array and were prepared
to fight for their home among the
roots of the orchid. Not yet van
quished, our collector cuts o long
bamboo from a clump growing close
by, and somewhat viciously com
mences to loosen the orchid from its
perch by poling at it from below.
But it is 50 interlaced with bush
ropes that nothing can be done with
out breaking the plant ia pieces,
which, Of course. win spoil Il as a fine
specimen. Then the ants begin to
swarm down the stick, and presently
few bites on the hand make our
friend drop It into the stream.
Reluctantly we are at last obliged
to leave 81 alone, and proceed onward,
hoping for better luck with the next
plant Pudding along, we think Of
this wonderful contrivanee Of nature
to protect the orchid from noxious
insects, and even, as in our case, froru

orchid collecting so very easy, for
the nests of the maribunta (the wasp
Of Guiana) often hang dangerously

of intrnders. Sometimes these are
not seen until the little insects are
buzzing about our ears and then
there is nothing left but to get off as
soon as possible. A nest which hangs

ally bars the way, Is blown to bits by
the gun of one Of our party. Then
