BISHOP NEwMAN's DIARY.
The Venerable Divine Has a Conn
plete RecOrd OF Events Since
fhe Year 1850.

Bishop Newman. the venerable divine
of the Methodist church. has kept an
unbroken dinry since 1860. Probably
no man has been more closely identified
with the important affairs Of history.
and few men have met and Known m6re
famous men than tho bishop, and IL no
ever consented to the publication Of
this daily JOURNAL it would undoubted-
ly rank among the few great diaries Of
history.
In o recent interview with Dexter
Marshall the bishop said; "rhaye rare
ly lived a day without meeting some
one with something to say worth pre-
serving, and for years tho bulk Of my
daily entries has consisted of notes of
the talks 1 have had with all sorts OF
people. 1 can hardly indicate the value
and variety of the information have
thus been able to set down in black and
white, and ! must confess that havo
derived an Immense amount of satisfac-
tion from time TO time in looking the
record over. Some Of the most inter
esting things have been said by the un-
lettered, and some of the wittiest, too.
"Oh, yes, I sometimes preserve jokes
as well as facts, and have found that
the sense Of humor exists everywhere
and sweetens the lot of almost every
one. BY constant practice / have
trained my memory so that it acts all
most automatically, and now when 1
am ready at the end OF each day to set
down whatever / have heard worth
while the salient points recall them
selves, so to speak, and 1 am able to
write them down without trouble. I
generally precede ahe notes of my talk
with q description of the speaker, and
in this way have got to- ether very
large number of brief pen sketches OF

CHANCES FOR MARRIAGE.
Table Prepared for
the information of snensters
md Widow.

A benevolent writer with a weakness
'or statistics has published the result
Of studious Investigation In registry OF
fees and other records Of woman's
nhance of marriage. The term woman
Is elastic. She may be n maiden from
IS TO IS or widow from Fl TO so and,
according TO these cheerful statistics,
still stand q chance of drawing a.mat-
rimonial prize. The best timo for a
splnster to marry-or, at least, the time
when she has the greatest number of
opportunities-is the period between
her twenty-ffth and twenty-ninth
years. One out Of eight spinsters mar
ries at this age. Next bestto this is the
period between 20 and "a, when one in
10 marries; then comes from 30 to "a,
when one in % marrics. Between the
ages of 35 and 80 statistics show only
one marriage in 2s. After 40 the chances
are not encouraging, although more
women between the ages of 40 and 80
marry than do girls between the ages
of IS and 10, one in 73 being the poor
showing for the bread-and-butter
misses.
But these facts are not the only ones
of interest TO minated Women that
statistics show For instance, 50 that
no time may be lost by the husband
hunting maid, the statistician points
out that It Is folly for a woman to waste
her energy trying 70 entrap a man of
some ares, whereas il sho directed her
attention to another sort OF man she
might find a conquest ready to her
hand. As an illustration of this n
bachelor OF from % to 35 is worth to
woman-as a marrying man-50 young
bachelors of frcW IS to 10, for the
chance Of the older man marrying with
In one year is so times as great as the
chance of one of the younger men.
Then, q more common instance, bach
elor OF from 25 to 80 is worth three
times rs much TO any woman-as a
marrying man-as a bachelor from 35
to 40.
is encouraging TO learn that the ex-
cess OF spinsters Is only 75 TO every
600 bachelors. But to offset this is
the disquieting fact that there are 23C
widows to every 100 widowers, which
the statistician admits, does tend e
work against the interest of spinsteri
who wish to marry" The spinster o
from . to "a is more apt TO marry {
bachelor than a widower; at ages O.
to "a her chance of bachelors is still
better than with widowers, but afte
45 she has to take u widower or re
main single, and even then her offer
are not as numerous as those of tn
widow. The best time for widow VIII
wishes TO wed a bachelor is from is t
, I 3l; after 81 she has q better chanc
to marry a widower. The chances G
, splnsters over 80 marrying are very sli1
| compared with those of widows OF IN
, samo age. For instance, between TIL
, ages of "a and ~ 81 spinsters marr.
while 55 widows marry. Tho dlfferenc
/ here Is hardly noticeable, but IL il
b creases with every year. Between tn

the interior and was reported doing a
 me practiye. He was sort cf "hui- chetero" Unlicensed apothecary who had picked up smattering of phar-
 macy and ran little apothecary shop some time at Pretas. The great financial success of Dr. Wright in his tour through the interior was a revel- ati0n to him of what might be done in the practice of medicine. So he started out as full fledged ''medico y cirujano," taking with him an inn posing case of surgical instruments, the uses of which he knew about as much as COW knows about astrono- my, and goodly supply of pills and plasters, boluses, liniments and powders. Entering town he would engage the most prominent and largest room to be secured, array in the most striking manner his display of surgical instruments, hang out his sign and await patients, who came flockiDg from miles around, the ad- vent of real genuine doctor, with little bone handled saws, knives and lancets being an event of life time in such out-of-the-way places at long distances from the great world.
 It seems that these two wOrthies fell into the same town together and agreed to unite the case of surgical instruments and Dr. Gunn's book and travel in partnership. In the course of their peregrinatiOns they reached Suaqni Grande, where, as elsewhere. they did a tremendous business But there misfortune overlook them They had d very complicated case the patient being prominent and well known citizen-and by some mis- hap they diagnosed the case incor- rectIy. gave the man the wrong medicine and killed him. As a con- sequence, to escape arrest and incar- ceration, they packed their belong ings with all possible haste, and flew the town in different directions Since then the doctor with the case of surgical instruments has been heard from in the vicinity of Alamos: but what has become of the medico with 'Doctor Gums Family Physi- clan" no one seems to know.

A partnersbip in Medlclne.

Some time ago THE OASIS editor received at Nogales letter from a man who once ran Burleigh drill in the Amarillas mine, and later ran a small store at La Colorado, stating that he was selling spectacles in the interior of Sonora. The ayocation had caused him to be called doctor" 1" and all the people assumed that he was d physician, calling on him for medical treatment for their ills. He was un- able to do anything for them, con seQuently they had doubts about the genuineness of his spectacles, which worked a detriment to the spectacle trade. Now wrote the doctor, ? when l was boy there was a very popular book called Doctor Gunn's Family Physician copy of which would be of great value to me here, and 1 wish you would get me one and forward it." THE OASIS man went straightway to the Sonora News Co.,, and there was just what was wanted. By direction of the editor Mir. Faulds forwarded copy of the book to the point designated in the letter, and some weeks later it was reported at La Colorado and Prietas that the man was doing an extensive medical prac- tice in the interior towns.
