In 1851 Captain Newbury. now Of Oak

April 10. With the night came the news
that Virginia had gone out Of the Union.
and the captain hove anchor and pre-
pared to run for it, fearing the conhscs-

the species was entirely new to him, and
it is probable that Billy had been blown

That remptlng wedding Cake.

A country visitor to the metropolis
was wandering along Oxford street agape
at the many wondrous things that. met
his view. Passing a large confectionery
establishment, he paused to look at the
good things temptingly displayed in the
window, huge bride cake particularly
striking his fancy. Unable to resist the
temptation, he entered the shop and in
quired the price.
"Ten pounds" replied the shopman,
eying curiously the very unlikely pur-
chaser, who looked not bit like pro
spectiye bridegroom.
. Ten poundsr echoed the countTyman
in astonishment.
Then he pondered the matter for a
few moments and fairly petrifed the
shopman by saying:

Railway pamages IN Germany.

1t is probably little known that the
material damages resulting from railroad
accidents in Germany have to be borne
by the officials who on investigation are
found 10 have caused them and from
whose salaries they are gradually de-
Quoted. 1t may be supposed the railway
administrations are rarely fully compan-
rated. A case is known of an official, at
present stationed at Berlin, who for IA
years has had to submit to a deduction,
but requires l6 years more to work on
his indebtedness. Whoever has TO make
up for the recent disastrous collision at
the Silesian station will doubtless leave
a heavy debt for his heirs to settle.-Par-

PRACTICAL RESULTS.

The Arizona agricultural experiment
station at Tucson has issued a bulletin
written by Director Gulley and devoted
to experimental irrigation by pumping
water twenty-six feet from the Sulphur
Springs valley. The farm on which the
experiment was tried has been made to
produce good crops and the director lsof
the opinion that the raising of water by
pumping for agricultural purposes is
feasible. There is but little difference Ill
the price of pumping water and the cost
of repairing and keeping bitches in CON
dition. When water is pumped there ls
little danger to be feared from drouths
or floods. There is pumping station at
Yuma that raises water eighty feet by
high service machinery. The expert
ments are very interesting to the farmer
and should be encouraged. If the raising
of water be proven entirely feasible 1T
will work revolution in irrigation
methods and be the means of reclaiming
millions of acres of arid land. The sub
iect is most important one for expert
mental inquiry and should be carefully

tural ex experiment. station.

A Source Of Wealth.

The Pecos valley is beginning the
shipment of alfalfa and cattle to the
eastern markets and in time this will be
one of the greatest sources of wealth to
the valley. But what the valley needs
more than anything else to bring it out
is the extension of the Pecos Valley rail-
road from its soon to be completed
terminus at Roswell, to a connection with
the Santa Fe at or near Las Vegas, thus
saving two days in Shipment to market.
