How cheap do you think they could be led?
All the sick are clear gain you know,
Why, you cu afford to take them low.
Town poor for sale! Town poor for sale!
Will no one bid for the poor of the town?
Is there never a man with a hovel to spare, ,
Who will farm them out for the coming year
Just for the sake

Good heavens, man! do you mean for the

That’s going on in our midst to-day?

“iraxcno DEL PASO."
SACRAMENTO, CAI... March 10, 1881.
A pleasant ride of five miles from the city
of Sacramento brings. you to the Ranchc
known to the surrounding country as the
“Rancho Del Paso,” and is owned by the
San Francisco millionaire, J. B. Haggin. It
comprises 45,000 acres and extends from the
American River to Antelope, about thirteen
miles. The Central Pacific Railroad inter-
sects it,eutting it in two nearly in the center,
and passengers cannot help seeing it (with its
thousands of sheep) that come by rail from
San Francisco; it is about eight miles wide.
The entire ranche is enclosed with a rough
board fence, from the red wood, which is
very lasting, and the posts are equal to the
locust for durability. This was formerly a
Spanish grant, and when it fell into the
present owner’s possession it cost himbut a
nominal sum, but now it will average $20
per acre, and there is timber enough upon it
to pay for the land. It is principally a. sheep
ranch, and it is a fine sight to see the herders
going out. with their dogs, taking care of the
shecmduring the day,and returning at night.
Each is mounted on a handsome horse with
his rifle strapped over his shoulder and his
knife in its sheath. In his equipped state he
looks more like a man pri pared for battle
than on a peaceful vocation—caring for his
sheep. The shearing begins ere this letter
reaches the press, and will end about the 1st
of May. They are sheared by the head— six
cents given in the spring and seven cents in
the fall. Sheep with their lambs, on this
rancbe, are valued at $5 per head in the
spring, but as they have no sheds to house
them under they lose large quantities, and
when riding over the ranche I saw them lying
in every direction dead. They were too
young to stand the cold rains that they were
subjected to. The wool is here only sacked
and is then sent to the San Francisco market
where it is graded, baled and sent either East
or to Europe. The wool that was sold from
this ranch. last year, after paying expenses,
was $60,000, so the superintendent,J no Mac-
key. told the writer. Not only is its. sheep
farm but it is a stock farm 'also, and on the
rancbc are some of the finest strains of blood,
and finest specimens of horseflesh on the
Pacific slope. The first and head of the list
is Echo, by Rysdysk Hambletonian. He was
purchased last fall at the State Fair for
$5,000. He is a bright mahogany bay with
two white ankles. He can trot a mile in
2:231. The next on the list is NOTWOOd, a
fac-simile Of the former, and they can
hardly be distinguished apart. He can trot
his full mile and repeat in 2:28. The next
star of the stable is a three—year-old, by Stan-
ford’s Electioncer. Without exception he is
the finest three-ycar-old I ever saw, and is
showing wonderful bursts of speed. They
claim he can trot his full mile in 2:25; his
value is only $20,000. The next is Zulu, a
large, handsome, black four—year-old, as
finely a fashioncd a colt as one- wished to
see; value, I believe, $5,000, and many
others'that I have not time to enumerate.
There are 2-50 brood mares on the place, and
about 000 team horses. They were all fat
and sleek and showed good feeding. This is
but a tithe of his Wealth. He owns another
ranchc in Kern County, that contains 400,-
000 acres, and another in Colusia County
with 300,000 abrcs. and besides his income
from the mining intercstsfis $75,000 a month.
He knows not his wealth, and yet he visits
each of his different farms every two weeks
to see that everything moves along with her-
mony. E. C.
The Scourge of the Children.
“’IIITE SPOTS IN THE THROAT THAT BETIZAY THE
PRESENCE OF DIPHTHERIA.
The prevalence of diphtheria has created
alarm in the minds of parents that is not
warranted by the facts. Physicians in pri-
vate practice as well as in public employ say
that almost every ailment noticed in a child
is taken for diphtheria, and that diphtheria
treatment is ol‘ien hastily administered by
anxious parents in innocent cases of cold.
There are f requcut calls at the office of the
board of health for a circular intended for
free distribution, and which contains instruc-
tions as to what should be done when diph-
theria enters a household. An employs of
the boar health says that the most im-
portant part of this circular is its description
of the early symptoms of the disease.
“Give heed,” he says in his interpretation of
this part of the circular, “The moment you
observe signs in your child of unwonted
weakness, fatigue, or physical dcbility,par—
ticularly if it is accompanied with a little
fever. Make the child frequently open its
mouth, so that you can observe its throat. It
is the ‘throat that the lay observer will first
discover any certain signs of diphtheria.
erer mind how red or how much inflamed
the throat appears. That does not indicate
the disease. But the instant you see a white
spot and detect abad odor run for a doctor.
The white spot will grow. Other white
spots will appear, and eventually they will
run together in great blotches if the disease
. is not checked. The time to seek medical
assistance is before these spots run together.

Honss.—At 10:45 the special order of the
day, being the bill for the prohibition of
steam dredging on the public oyster grounds
was called for.
Mr. Harrison moved the substitution of
the minority report on the steam dredging
bill for purposrs of discussion. This was
carried.
Mr. Hodge, of Windsor, of the majority
of the committee, gained the floor, and spoke
against the passage of the bill.
fr. DeForest, of Bridgeport. chairman of
the fisheries commiitec, which had reported
the bill adversely, presented the claims of
the minority. He claimed that, from the
evidence that had been submitted, it was
clear that steam dredging was injurious to
the natural oyster beds.
The passage Of the bill was opposed by
Mr. Merriman, of Meriden, who held that
steam dredging cannot create a monopoly.
He also denied that steam dredging was in—
jurious to the public beds. It is the weight
of the dredge, not the propelling power,that
does the damage. '
Mr. Mitchell, of New Britain, considered
the bill to be in the face of the progress of
the nineteenth century, and in interest of a
monopoly of inefficiency.
Mr. Guns, of Milford, also supported the
report of the committee. It should be under-
stood that the bill under consideration will
not give protection to poor men. He believed
that the steam dredgers had made oysters
cheaper, and have protected the very poorest
claswf oystermeu.
Mr. Harrison made a brilliant presentation
of the ease in support of passing the bill.
At the conclusion of his speech he moved
the previous question; ordered. On vote the
bill was passed by one of the largest majori—
ties of the session, and the majority report
rejected.

American Gems
(Boston Advertiser.)
Attbclateinaugural ball at Washington
the famous parure of American gems was
worn by one of the members of the Hamlin
family of Maine, to whom it belongs, and by
whom it has been constructed from collec-
tions of the past sixty years. Previously to
the ball it was examined by a number of the
" naturalists of Washington, one of Whom has
' kindly furnished a brief description of the
, charming jewels. It has been intimated
that they may eventually become the prop.
crty of the nation, and be deposited at the
Smithsonian Institute, as the proper recept.
sole for them. This rare collection of our
native productions should certainly be pre-
served cntire, as it is represented to be far
superior to the casket of Scottish gems pre-
sented by the loyal Scots to Queen Caroline
many years ago.
The parure consists of a bandeau, ear-
drops, brooch and necklace. The bandcau
is composed Of a line of Beryls from Massa-
chusetts, upon which are placed in separate
points, red, white and green tourmalines
from Maine, 21 yellow emerald from Massa-
chusetts, and garnets and‘otber gems from
the west. The car-drops are composed of
ied and green tourmalines set with white
aqua-marines from Maine and Massachu-
setts. The brooch is arranged in the form
of a large cross, and contains twenty gems,
tourmalines, sapphires, and beryls. of fine
colors, from Maine, Montana and Massachu-
setts. The necklace is composed of twenty—
five links of gold, each link containing a
beryl from Massachusetts, and from which
is suspended a pendant formed of fine gems.
Some of these pendants contain stones of
extraordinary beauty, and in fact they ex-
hibit most of the finest stones found in the
United States during the last half century,
exccpzing the big diamond found in Vir-
ginia, which wsa purchased by John Morris-
sey, the prize fighter. The central stone is
a magnificent green tourmaline from Maine,
weighing twenty-eight karats, and is without
a flaw. This gem is surrounded with pearls
from the fresh water clams of New Eng-
land brooks. On either side of the tourma—
line are two matchless Opals of more than
an inch in diameter, without imperfection,
and exhibiting wondrous display of pris-
natic colors. “Oberon” and “Titania” are
the names given them, from “Mid summer
Nights Dream,” and certainly nothing on
earth gives more entrancing glimpses of
fairy land than these perfect gems. Monta—
us. is well represented with beautiful gar—
nets and sapphires of red, white and blue
colors. New Mexico contributes, besides
the garnets of blood—red hue, a superb tur-
quoise more than an inch in length. It is a
gem that would have gladdencd the hearts
of Cortez and his followers when they de—
spoiled the Mexicans of their line emeralds,
‘turquOise and other varieties. The display
of native tourmaliues is quite extraordinary,
and comprises fine stones of green,red, white
blue and yellow colors. The necklace con-
tains 150 gems, which form altogether a jew-
cl of remarkable beauty, and is in fact a
museum in itself of the rarest and most beau-
tiful of our gem productions.

TEMPERANCE.

“Let Your Li glit So Shine.”
There is a whole sermon in the following
lines. written by a colored man and printed
in the Boston Congregationalist:
Say, is your lamp burning, my brother?
I pray you look quickly and see;
For if it were burning, then surely
Some beams would fall brightly upon me.
Straight, straight is the road, but I falter,
And often fall out by the way;
Then lift your lamp higher, my brother,
Lost 1 should make fatal delay.
There are many and many around you
Who follow fierevcr you go; .
If you thought that they walked in a shadow
Your lamp would burn higher, I know.
Upon dark mountains they stumble;
They are bruised on the rocks, and they lie
With their white, pleading faces turned up-
ward
To the clouds of the pitiful sky.
There is many a lamp that is lighted ;
We behold them near and afar;
But not many of them, my brother,
Shine steadily on like a star.
I think were they trimmed 1.1t and morn-
ing.
They would never burn down or go out,
Though from the four quarters of heaven
The winds were all blowing about.
If once all the lamps that are lighted
Should steadily blaze in a line,
Wide over the land and the ocean,
What a girdle of glory would shine l
How all the dark places would brighten 1
How the mists would roll up and away 1
How the earth would laugh out in her glad-
ncss '
To hail the millennial day.
An Ancient. Temperance Pledge.
On the blank loaf of an old Irish Bible,
which has been transmitted from father to
son through many generations, and now ap-
pears as the property Of Robert Bolton min-
istcr of the gospel at- Bronghton, Northampu
tonshire, (Eng), is indescribed the following
pledge:
“From this day forwarde to the ende of
my life, I will never pledge any healthe, nor
drinks in a whole carouse, in a 'glass’ buy,
bowlc or other drinking instrument whatso-
ever it may be, from whomsnever it come—'
except the necessity doth require it. Not
my own most gracious Kinge, nor any of
the greatest monarch or tyrant upon earthe,
nor my dearest friend, nor all the gouldc in
the world, shall ever enforce me. Not angel
from heaven (who I know will not attempt
it shall pcrsuade,nor Satan with all his oulde
subtleties, nor all the power of hell itself,
shall betray me. By this very sinne (for
sinne it is, and not a little one) I have more
offended and dishonored my glorious. Maker
than by all other sinne that I am subject
untoe, and for this very sinne it is my God
hath often been strange untoc me, and for
that cause and no other respect, have I thus
vowed, and I heartily beg my good Father
in heaven of his great goodness and infinite .

same, and be so favorable untoe me for what

Blunt but True.
There is said to be a young man in the
Missouri penitentiary whose parents at
their death left him a fortune of $50,000,
There is where his parents made a fatal
mistake, If they had taken the precaution
to invest that sum in a small dog, and shot
him, and then had simply left the yuong
man a jack plane or a wood saw, with print-
ed instructions how to use it, the chances
are that. instead of being in the penitentiary
he would to—day have been gradually but
surely working his way up to a’ handsome
competency and an honorable old age. But
ever since the days of Adam and Eve,
parents have made it a point to toil and
struggle all their lives in order to realize a
sufficient sum of money to purchase, when
they are dead and gone, their sons each a
first-class through ticket to destruction,
and it is not much to be wondered at that so
many of their sons-are in vice and idleness,
as too many of them often are, have no
higher ambition than to invest their inheri-
tance in that that sort of transportation.—

The Vienna. PEI).
Vienna has several places of refuge for the
destitute, called ”warming-rooms,” where all
persons who are in need are allowed to make
themselves comfortable, and are given soup,
coffee, or tea, with bread, free of charge. No
inquiries are made as to character or calling.
It is sufficient that they say they are cold and
hungry. Capacious stoves warm these places
benches run along the walls, and newspapers
are provided, but mainly on account of the
advertisements of help wanted. I The food
and drink are given to each person twice
every day, and at night those who need lodg—
ings are enabled to sleep there. The exper-
iment has proved so satisfactory that another
place of the kind is about to be opened large
enough to accommodate 800 persons. Since
Dec. 6, 49,736 persons were assisted at these
places with food, lodging or otherwise, and
between Dec. 15th and Jan. 20:11 not a single
instance of suicide traceable to poverty was
reported, although self-murder from that
cause was not unfrequent‘before.
CHRISTEXINGS.—A new burden is added to
life—another species of “white mail” is in
fashion—to be levied on one’s friends. Peo-
ple are expected to send christening pres-
ents. This is a little too much. Silver wed-
contributions. The invitation is a “call,”
with just the privilege of staying away.
People who really want to have their friends
about them on anniversary days, without
“tribute,” and who have as much silver and
as many flour-Sifters and pudding moulds as
they need, are almost afraid to send out
their invitation cards; these have begun to
look so like such a demand on sight. Some
of these persons take the precautibn to write
in theircards, “it is requested that no gifts
be sent ;” but this looks a little too churlish
on the one hand and a little too confident on
the other, as if the person invited was
brimming over with a desire to give. Al-
together it is quite a dilemma that the fool-
ish fashion has brought about, not to be
settled until some indisputable generous
person has the courage to .. go empty handed
to one of these festivals, satisfied that it is
his countenance is wanted and. not- his cash
in advance. But to “white mail" one’s
friends under cover of the hapless baby is
the latest device. Regular cards of invitation
are sent out to all the friends, and all who
accept are expected to come like the Greeks
-—bearing giffs. Think of beginning at six
weeks of age to levy contributions, or have
them addressed in its name, or before it has
aname at all. Fancy the arrivals of two
dozen pap-spoons, as many drinking mugs,
plates, knives and forks, corals and long
gowns. Something handsome enough to
keep up the show, it must be—and as babies
adays, there is no limit to the extravagance
committed in its favor. The guests return
to the house after the christening, where
candle is served. This is‘the last straw, or
rather the last out ! It might be thought that
a good lunch ‘or substantial refreshment
would compensate them a little—but candle
After this the only thing left is a festival and
and invitation when the boy gets his first
'suit of trousers. The friends might be in-
vited to bring along cheques for his school
bills, or bicycles, or any other light_trifle.
Let us hope that the christening business will
put the final touch of absurdity to all _such
amiable plunder'of friends.—Phila. Ledger.

MY BOY.
'A. little crib in mother’s room.
A little face with baby bloom,
A little head with curly hair,
A little woolly dog, a chair.
A little while for bumps and cries,
A little while to make mud pies,
A little doubting wonder when.—
A little pair of hands to clean.
A little ball, a top to spin,
A little “ulster"belted in, .
Alittle pair of pants, some string,
A little bit of everything.
A little blurtering, boiitzring air,
A little spirit of “don't care,”
A little tramping off to school,
A little shrug at woman's rule.
A little odor of cigar,
A little twilight talk with ma,
A little earnest study then—
A little counsel grave again.
A little talk about my girl,
A little soft mustache to twirl,
A little tone of jealous fear,
A little hope the way to clear.
A little knowledge of the world,
A little self-conceit down hurled,
A little manly purpose new,
A little woman waiting true.
A little wedding gay at eve,
A little pang the home to leave,
A little mother lone at dawn,
A little sigh—my boy has gone.

GONE WEST.
There is always one resort on a dull jour-
ney. Drowsy travellers can relieve them-
selves by joking each other. Mr. Burdétte
relates how a wag of a fellow—passenger
stirred him up and let him down again :
I was falling into a doze, he says, ‘ when a
plain, farmer-looking man across the aisle
poked me with his cane, and said:
“Been up in the West '1’”
I told him I had, almost to the land of
Nod. But that didn’t seem to make any Node
.to him, for he continued :
“Great country that West of Ours. ’Tain’t
half appreciated yet. Greeley understoodlt,
though. He knew what it could do for a
young man. _
“Now we had a young man up where I
belong—Huron County—smarter’n a whip,
Could do anything. But, bless ye, he hadn’t
no chance around there. Every thing occu-
pied except himself. Every placc full. Folks
said if he would go West with his talents he
would soon be a big man. He wouldn’t lis-
ten to it for some time—kept struggling on,
but finally he went.
“This was two years ago. And now, sir"
(rising up in his seat with eagerness and ani-
mation. while I, catching something of his
enthusiasm, half arose myself), “this young
man who had no chance in the world in Ohio,
where do you suppose he is f”
I said I didn’t know.»
“Hanged if I do either!” (resuming his
seat) "We haven’t heard a word from him

Prize Essays g Newspapers.
or our: own rRrNTnR’s DEVIL.
London sporting Tim es.
Newspapers is termed wehicl’s o’ informa-
tion. They is dewied into three sexions:
Sportin’ paper (like the Sporlin Times) is
a paper as tells yer fa:r and square how to
lowest yer bob without being welshed. A
noosepaper (like the Standard) yer the same
thing but pretends not to no ..of it. A society
paper tells a man what he didn’t a say of,
and What his wife didn’t a do of.
Compositors is men, but sometimes is
women. They set up their papers and makes
up many a mull 0’ their koppy. Say as when
a sportfii’ riler says one day how Robert
the Devil will win the Derby; the next day
he says as how it was a “printer’s error,"
seein’ as how he wrote as plain as a pikestsfi’
Bend, Or, which shows as how compositors
is fools. Compositors is very steady men
when they is sober, which they seldom is
when they can help it. On week day morn-
ins you will find compositors is much about
Shae Lane and Salisbury Court, on Sundays
you will find ’em a-bed.
Readers is men who spoils the punetiva-
shun 0; compositors. Readers spells a word
one way today and another way tc-morrow.
They is better dressed but has less pay than
has compositors. Readers think they is in-
intelligent persons. Some folks think differ-
ent.
Foremen is men as kicks up rows
with the compositors, for not doin’ of what
they have been told not to do. Foremen
also kick the printer’s devils. Some foreman
sings “The Sea is England’s Glory,” other
foremen sometimes sings very small, in-
deed. ‘
Reporters is what is termed “the stud,” so
many 0' ’em being sticks. They works hard
—at refreshment bars, They goes night after
night to free feeds, and cats and drinks for
naught. They goes into shbps and orders
what they like and plays when they likes—
which they never pays for. Some reporters
beats their wives and some wives beats their
reporters.
Sub-editors is men who pretends to look
over koppy. But they never pretend to look
over bars at barmaids—whieh they does reg-
ular. The public thinks sub-editors is editors,
which they think so themselves.
Drametic critics is coves what does the
theatyres. They is seedy-looking coves dur-
ing the day, but at night—oh, moy. They
wears swallow tails and new dickies, which
arkles with glass diamonds. They is all
ellers who think they know better than
Billy Shakespear, and is always tryin’ to im-
prove on Hambulet. They sit in he stalls a
lookin’ knives and forks at the audience,
and when they look up at huz in the gallery
they seems to say, “Look at the monkeys
from the Secs." Their governors tell them
never to take free passes nor to write one-
sided, which they always acts up to these
obstructions.
Editors is men Of great ability, and knows
enything in the wings above and the hearth
beneath, and the (strong) waters under the
hearth. Editor: is writers who doesn’t write
enything. They cats and drinks more and
better than reporters, but they does it on the
Q. T. They is the biggest men you ever see.
Managers and publishers is men as takesln
the tin. They keeps as much as they likes
and gives the rest to the proprietors.
Proprietbrs isn’t anybody. They ain’t even
seen. In the Winter they lives in the coun-
try, and in the summer they goes yelling.
Printer’s devil’s is the most important per.
sons in aprintin’ office. They does the hard-
est work and gets the softest “screw.”

Late experiments have shown that about
twenty per cent. of the pupils in the deaf
and dumb schools of London, are by means
of the audiphone, enabled to hear sufficiently
.well to take their places in the class of or.
dinary schools. It is known that in cases of
deafness where the auditory nerves are un-
affected, the audiphone enables the patient to
bear with distinctness; but where the audi-
‘OYY nerves are destroyed or diseased no ap-
pliance at present known is of any utility. — -
11- Rouger has described to the French
Academy a violent storm at Laiglc in Sep-
tember last, between 9 30 and 11 p. in. there
were at least 4,700 flashes of lightning ; some-
times there were as many as three flashes per
second. The thunder was almost continuous,
like a kind of buzzing, interrupted by heauy
. rollings.
An instrument. called the margariinetei-
has been invented by two Pariian chemists

By means of a strictly vegetable diet. Dr-
Hureau dc Villeneuve states that he has

EOuty rheumatism, with which he had been

his ancestors had died.
A very beautiful mineral—to which the
name of f‘hiddenite” has been given—was
discovered not long ago in North Carolina by
W. E. Hidden. It is the first purely Ameri-
m gem found and very valuable.
Prof. Klebs, of Prague, has discovered a
peculiar microscpic growth in the remains of
patients who have died of typhoid fever. It '
is not found in the bodies of persons whose
death has been caused by other diseases.
Some curious phenomena—electrical shsd~
ows so called—have been lately described
by Herr Holtz to the Gottingen Academy.
They are obtained by firing to one rod of an
electric machine a large concave disc having
a piece of silk without wrinkles adhering to
it; at the point of the other discharge rod—
plaeed Opposite—appears, when the machine 1
is worked, a small feeble luminous star,
and on the disc a circle is seen. When ob-
jects are interposed the shadows appear on
the luminous circle. They are not. optical
shadows, as is proven by the fact that all
opaque objects do not give them. They are
produced in general only by conductors and
semiconductors of electricity, and insulating
bodies give little or no shadow. A glass rod
with one end made conducting by heat gives
a partial shadow, which gradually disappears
on cooling.
Croll has calculated that the amount of
heat conveyed from the equatorial regions
nothwest in the Atlantic by the Gulf Stream
is equivalent to 77,479,650.000,000,000,000
feet pounds of energy per day, which is
equal to all the heat received by 1,560,935
square miles of surface at the equator, and
more heat than is conveyed by all the aerial
currents.
The object-glass for the Sick Observatory

Many people, says the Electfiewn, have
obsierved that a blow or other jarring shock
will sometimes dispel pain; but the impor-
tance of mechanical vibrations as an andoyne
is now engaging thd serious attention of
physicians. For some years past, Dr. Mort-
imer Granville has been endeavoring to find
a good means of mitigating the pangs of
neuralgia by a recurring series of shocks ad-
ministered to the skin over the affected part
lid he has constructed an apparatus for the
purpose which has been employed success-
fully on various occasions. M. Boudet, of
Paris, has, however, quite recently develop-
ed the subject still further, and applied the
Ordinary diapason, or tuning fork, to the
purpose in question. He was led to do this
by the experiments of M. Vigouroux, who
provoked contractions in hysterical patients
and subdued the pains of a nervous cripple
by causing the sonorous waves from 3 vi-
brating tuning fork and sounding board to
impinge upon his :limbs, M. Boudet
improve upon his treatment by bringing the
vibrator into actual contact with the surface
of the body. He does this by a tuning fork
kept in constant vibration through the at‘
traction and repulsion of an electro magnet,
in which an electric current flows, and a rod
having one end connected to the fork and
the other applied over the nerve. So effica-
cious does it appear to be that ceitain kinds
of neuralgia, especially in the less deep-seat-
ed nerves, are charmed away after a few
minutes’ use. The subject is yet in its in-
fancy, but it is probably that other kinds of
physical suffering may be soothed by the
vibratory influence, and it is not unlikely
that complete anaesthesia, similar to that
produced by chloroform, may result from
tremors of the cranium ; for when the fork
is applied to the walls of the skull. a swim-
ming of the head, followed by a desire to
sleep, is frequently induced. There are good
reasons for believing that chloroform acts
through mechanical disturbances of the ren-
sory nerves.
A BURIED Cruz—A discovery of much
archaeological interests has recently been
made in the Algerian Sahara. M. Tan-y,
who has been carrying on work in connection
with the proposed Trans-Sahara railway,
having noticed a mound of said in the neigh-
borhood Of Wargla had the sand dug up, and
discoyered the top of a spherical dome. This
naturally aroused his interest, and, getting
his Arabs to dig still deeper, he found under-
neath the dome a square tower, then a plat-
form of masonry, and finally a complete
mosque. Continuing his excavations, M.
Terry soon unearthed seven houses in perfect
preservation, and. came upon a subterra-
nean watereOui-se. At the last news nine
houses had been disinterred, and M. Terry
was getting additional assistance to clear out
the precious watercourse, which he describes
as sufficient to irrigate a small forest of
palms. It is well known that the Sahara
was at one time much more populous than
it is now, and its trade much'more exten-
sive, but no one seems to have supposed
that any cities had been buried under its
sands, at least so recently as since the intro-
ducing of Mshommedanism. The detailed
results of M. Terry’s excavations will be ea-
gerly looked for.

Peach culture is reviving in New England
and other .Older states ; the people are learn-

with proper care peaches may be as abund~

We have one Casner, and others, with trees

a “centennial” peach as it were, and should
have appeared in 1876. We have before-us
the circular of one Peckham, who hails from
“New Haven”’ and has his nursery in “On-
tario 00., N. Y.” As there are a dozen or
more “New Havens,” and there is no post-
ofilce known as "Ontario county,” the local
habitation of Mr. Peekham is somewhat ob-
scure, and we caneot write to him for those
trees from “Prussian Seedling Pits.” What
with “Persian" and “Prussian,” our peach '
culture is evidently looking up.
