Beauty Is a Power.

b. G. Northrop, writing in the New
York Independent says: Striking IL
Illustrations of the happy influence of
home adornments and of the sad effect
of their neglect have often come under
my observation. Two instances must
here suffice. When surveying town
in New Hampshire, in order to adapt
my lecture to local needs, as we passed
large house and spacious barns, with
all the surroundings neglected and
forlorn, my escort said: Here lives
the richest and meanest man of our
town. Twenty years ago he brought
here refined young lady as bride.
For few years it was her ambition
and delight to adorn her new home
within and without At length her
strong innate love Of the beautiful
was cruelty crushed, for this thought
less, if not heartless wretch would no
longer permit such waste of her time
on good-for-nothing posies. Driven
to despair, she has been for years in
the asylum among the incurable in
sane" When in Nebraska City, the
guest of ex-Gov. j. Sterling Morton,
now secretary of the department of
agriculture, found a happy contrast
to this miser's wretched home. To
Nebraska, when territory, just coded
by the Indians to the United States,
and still wilderness, he brought his
bride, a cultivated lady from Detroit,
who cheerfully made the best of their
log hut. Soon flowers, shrubs, and
vines sprang up on every side, until a
veritable Eden, largely planted and
titled by her own hands, surrounded
that humb home. In few years a
stately ma nsion. beautiful within as
well as without, rose in it's place.
| How much did her love of the beauti-
full and her purpose to create this
| Eden, on which her heart was SET
when she first saw this spot, and saw
too responsibilities, tighten the burdens
and lessen the privations of pioneer
life. Bright visions of beautiful
home were an inspiration and bene-
diction to that happy household years
before they were fully realized. II
seems fitting that such home, well
named "Arbor Lodge" should be the
birthplace of Arbor day.

WHY CHOLERA KILLS-When an ad-
venturous scientist declared that he
had swallowed any amount of cholera
cultures without injury, there was a
good deal of incredulous head-shak-
ing, and while the doubters could not
really dispute the statements made,
they insisted that there must be some
thing behind it all; for if cholera
bacilli were really themselves and no.
body else, why didn't the man die?
And now it appears that it isn't the
well-bred, properly conducted bacillus
that does the mischief, but substance
that they manufacture from the con-
tents of the human interior where they
take up their abiding place. The
Abacili proceed to form what is known
as nitric, most deadly poison. This
substance is by the bacilli generated
from many vegetables, especially cauli-
flower, lettuce, beets and turnips
Meat contains but limited amount
of convertible material, hence the pre-
vailing idea that vegetables are to be
eaten with prudence during the
cholera seasons, while meat in small
quantities and Indian corn, barley and
the like are much safer articles of diet
1t is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestines
of men and animals that are capable
of generating nitrites, but that the
cholera bacillus produces over forty
thousand times more than any other
creature. If there is no suitable sub
stance found by the cholera bacilli
upon which to work, they form Tactic
and other acids, but these rarely cause
serious ills. They sometimes give rise
to what is known as cholerine, which

DEMOCRATIC ACTION.

The Democratic senate yesterday passed
the Bland silver seigniorage bill by avote
of thirty-one to forty-four, a handsome
majority, and one that can not but be
counted as significant when it comes to
the question whether or not the president
will sign it. The bill having now passed
both branches of congress goes to the
president, and the New MEXICAN believes
he will sign it. The measure goes long
way toward helping the cause of silver as
money. indirectly, if not directly. In a
word, it provides for the coinage of the
seigniorage accruing to the government
from the bullion now stored in the treas
ury vaults, amounting to some $55,00o,-
900. and when that is done with the mints
shall proceed to coin the bullion itself as
rapidly as practicable, which, with the
present mint capacity, would be at the
rate of about 100000 per month.

SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETIES.

The Mora county affair merely serves

swear secret allegiance to the common

uniting murder in hopes of thereby pro
tectlng their members.
The revelations in this case, following
as they do SO closely upon the heels Of
the exposure of the work of the "buttor
gang" in Santa Fe county which sent
poor Frank Chavez to his long sleep
ought to set all good citizens to thinking

A New Policy.

A Washington dispatch says, concern
ing the prospective opening of reserva-
tions for settlement:
The consideration of the bills for the
ratification of the treaties between gov
eminent commissions and various Indian
tribes for the REIMBURSEMENT of their
lands by the house Indian affairs com
mittee has resulted in the determination
by the committee of a new policy regard
ing certain features of such agreements.
One of these will be to require settlers on
the lands purchased or otherwise acquired
from the Indians to reside on land taken
by them for a period of three years, in
stead of fourteen months as now, with the
privilege thereafter of paying a certain
amount and obtaining title. This, the
committee believes, will not work injury
to honest settlers, but will be for their
best interests. Another departure de-
cided upon by the committee is to here
after limit to 4 per cent annually the in
terest to be paid by the government on
deferred payments for lands secured from
the Indians. The committee believes
this is ample interest, especially as it can
borrow money at less rate.
Penitentiary Economy Sets the Pace.
The old law which requires the pay
ment to the sheriff of each county of rs
cents day for feeding prisoners has been
one of the heaviest financial drains which
New Mexican counties are having to en-
dure during the present hard times. The
amount WAS totally out of proportion to
the cost, and the last Legislature conse-
quently amended the law as follows: "For
five prisoners 35 cents per day each; for
all over ten prisoners rs cents per day
for each prisoner for every day fed. This
law will come into effect only on the LIST
of next January. Great as will be the
saving from this change the price should
be put lower yet. At the penitentiary at
Santa Fe the cost of feeding prisoners
amounts to only II a cents per day-con-
siderable less than half what it will cost
this county. The feeding of the prison
ers should be put down to actually what
it cost and should not be a source of
profit 70 the sheriff. The counties are
overburdened with unnecessary expense,
and this is one of the ways in which our
next legislature can aid us.-Sllver City
