Strange Surroundings of a Grave.

On the banks of the Castleman river, in
Pennsylvania, is a sight which is well
worth going to see. A short distance from
the river, at the foot of the mountain, six
poplars are growing, the place inclosed be
ing in the shape of coffin. For about six
feet from the ground the six trees have a
common trunk, or rather root, as it seems
as if the six trees in the inclosed space had
all united soiidly and had grown out of
the ground, carrying the earth above them
up along to the height named. Climbing
on top of this common trunk, it is found
that these poplars must have been planted
around child grave. The inelosed space
is about feet long, and the green grass is
growing In the earth there. On one end is a
gravestOne with an inscription on it which,
however, is worn by time. 1t is unknown
by whom the grave was made.

TIE OPIUM HABIT AND ITS CURE.
Some Interesting Observations on the Curse
OF Chinatown.


Tt is when the opium habit becomes fix
ed and the craving intense that the great
est injury occurs to the system At regu-
lar times during the day there come grip
ing pains, which become indescribable ag
Ony if the victim is unable to get to his
pipe. These pains subside with the first
Whit of opium and are followed by the
most delightful sensations. When man
reaches this stage, it is almost impossible
to cure him. Tt is exceedingly doubtful
whether there is any known remedy to
cure an opium sot. The Chinese have med
icines in abundance One cannot walk
down a block in Chinatown, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, without seeing score
of advertisements of pretended infallible
cures. The usual opium cure is o course
of pills which contain more or less opium
and are taken in gradually decreased doses
till, it is claimed, the taste for the drug
has gone, In the majority of cases the pa
tent is only changed from an opium
smoker to an opium eater, and he has only
jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
Even when q man has professed to be
cured Of the craving he still retains the
memory of opium elysian joys and when
trouble comes his first thought is to lull
his sorrow with the drug. To many the
pipe has such a fascination that after they
have gone for months without touching 1t
a strange infatuation will suddenly take
hold of them, even though shey realize that
every pipe they take only rivets the chains
the tighter It may be interesting to add
that out of 318 opium smokers questioned
during the last five years 40 acknowledge
ed that they began to smoke to quiet pain,
soothe grief or as an imagined cure for
some disease; 178 acknowledged that they
sought the pipe for the sake of its pleas
ures The average amount smoked by each
Of these 81S was 100 grains day.
1T is hard to estimate the number of
opium smokers in San Francisco. Prob
ably the majority of Chinese gre more or
less addicted to its use. Some Chinese as
sert that 80 per cent Of confirmed sots have
what the Chinese call the yui, or the cray
ing. When a man gets that, he is consid-
| cred hopelessly inthraled. Home is de-
/ serted, family neglected, business forgot
| ten5 and the man is an utter wreck.

She Had Good neal to Try Her, but sha
WouI01't CT Angry.
The best natured woman in the world
resides in the city of Austin. She has
been married number of years to
man named Peterby, VINO is one Of the
most disagr6eable quarrelsome men
outside of the Texas legislature. And
yet Mr.. and Mrs. Peterby have never
had a quarrel, for the reason that 1t IS
impossible to make her angry. He has
scowled at her and occasionally waited
a chair at her, just to see if she wouldn't
get angry, but he suffered disappoint-
ment in each and every instance. Peter
by had been Dragging to his friends
about what good natured wife he has,
and Gilhooly offered to bet $50 that If
Peterby were to go home, raise fuss
and pull the tablecloth full of dishes off
the table she would show signs of tenn
per. He had tried that with his wife
once, but he never repeated the expert
ment
Peterby said he didn't want to rob a
friend Of his money but he knew he
could win. At last he made the bet.
The friend was to watch the proceedings
through a window Peterby came home
apparently fighting drunk. She saw
him coming, went out to the gate,
opened it, kissed him and assisted his
lettering steps into the house. He sat
down hard in the middle Of the floor and
howled out:
"Confound your ugly picture what
did you pull that chair from under me
for?'
IT hope you did not hurt yourself?'
she replied, smiling kindly. Il was tc
blame for it. l am so awkward Bot
I'll try and not do it again If you will
forgive me this tine. And she helped
him to his feet, although she Lad notl
ing to do with his falling. He then sal
on the sofa, and sliding of on the foe
abused her like a picl,poclzet for lifts4,
up the other end Of the sofa. She s2io
she was sorry and finally led him to the
supper table. He threw plG5e at her,
but she lodged it and asked him if he
would take tea or coffee. Then the brute
seized the tablecloth, sat down on the
floor and pulled the dishes and every
thing over him III one grand crash.
Some women might have lost their tenn
per- but not so with Mrs. Peterby. She
did not blubber like child; she did not
even sull or pout With pleasant smile,
she said:
"Well, George, this is a new idea.
We have been married 10 years and
never eaten our supper on the floor.
Won't it be fun! Just like those picnics
we used to go to before we were mar
ried, :" and then the angelic woman de-
liberately sat down on the floor along
side Of the wretch, arranged the dishes
and fixed him up a nice supper. This
broke him up. He ownedup he was only
fooling her and offered to give her $50
to get herself a new dress with She
took the money and bought him new
suit Of clothes and a box Of cigars with
it. Heaven viii have to be repaired and

THE COUNTY JAIL.
What Visit to the Institution Re.

the Prisoners.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Santa Fe, Feb. 10.-Reports having
reached me that the inmates of the coun-
ty Jail were inhumanely treated by the
sheriff and his subordinates, made it my
duty yesterday to visit the jail. No per-
son, even my own family, had knowledge
of my purpose. went to the jail with
out giving the sheriff any notice that
was coming, and visited all the prison
ers, including the insane. 1t is known
to some persons that formerly l often
visited the jail, but until yester-
day I had not been within its walls since
the removal of Sheriff Conklin. l am
sure that had not entered it since the
death Of Sheriff Chavez.
found the institution in much better
condition than it was ever before within
my knowledge. There was stove in
each cell. The prisoners assured me they
were allowed plenty of wood to keep
themselves warm; that they were we'll
fed-better now, since Sheriff Cunning
ham had undertaken to feed them him
self, than when the supply came from a
restaurant; that they had good and sufi-
cient bedding, and were in every way as
comfortable as their condition as prison
ers admitted of-some of them being
hand-cuffed and kept in close confine
ment. Two of the prisoners said they
would like more under-clothing. One of
these is, l believe, a counterfelter. The
men who are in irons are allowed exer-
else in the placita of the prison two or
three times week. An examination of
the walls of the Jail will satisfy any SEN
sible person of the necessity of keeping
in irons any prisoner who has imperative
motives to undertake to get away. Said
the sheriff: 81 have these men here to
keep them but not to persecute them.
They shall suffer no inhumanity at my
hands,"
Atilano Gold was said, by those who
sought to malign the sheriff, to be sleep
ing on the earth or on stone floor with
out enough bed-clothing to keep him
warm. There is no truth in this report.
His cell is Aoored and lined with wood.
He has stove and all the wood he needs
to burn. He assured me he had bedding
enough (which could see) to keep him
warm at night. In conclusion, allow me
to say that Santa Fe count; is disgraced
by its shamefuliy, lnhumanly bad Jail. If
the jail we're as good of its kind as the
sheriff is good and humane as an official,
we might take some satisfaction in think
ing of our penal institutions and the. COM
fort of its inmates. GEO. G. SMITH.
