I'ravin of an Ret I net Raw of Human Beings
—A Valley of Rains.
l’rof. Hayden, of the government geo
logical survey in the far west, has pre
pared his report, which will soon be pub
lished. The Rio De Clielly, for a dis
tance of about thirty-five miles above its
mouth, is so eanyoned—and the wash for
the bed of the stream is perfectly dry
the greater portion of the year, cuts from
wall rock to wall-rock so frequently—
that it is impossible to travel up it, ex
cept in the bed, and that is so tortuous
and rocky in places that it would be dif
ficult, it not impossible. Making a de
tour to the right, the first opening into
the canyon was reached ten miles above.
In here an interesting and extensive ruin
was found which was so well preserved
that it seemed to have been vacated less
than a score of years, so near like the
workmanship and manner of building of
the presentMoquis, that it would not be
difficult to imagine them lurking among
the deserted rooms. This ruin was situ
ated in a long cave-like bench or mesa,
running along the face of a perpendicular
bluff, some fifty feet above its base, and
a total length of nearly three hundred
yards. Ihc town was irregularly but
compactly built, conforming to the rock
on which it was placed, the rooms ar
ranged in a single row most of the way,
but at either end bunching up to two or
throe deep. A ground plan shows sev
enty-live rooms, with many little irregu
lar “cubby holes,” with a total length of
,1S feet. A few yards further to the
right arc a half dozen detached build
ings. Cisterns and reservoirs yet re
mained perfect enough to show their pur
poso. In the center of ihc mass was a
well preserved circular apartment a little
below the general level of the others, that
was probably an extufa. The great cor
rals were inside, between the houses and
tiie bluff. Digging beneath the debris
several pieces of finely preserved pottery
weic found, the same finely ornamented,
and glazed ware, of which the fragments
arc so universally scattered over the
whole country. Beneath the canter of
tin low ii there was found in one group
some whole jars of about two gallons ca
capity each, of the gray indented ware,
but they were too fragile too transport
upon pack mules. Besides the pottery,
main stone implements and arrow points
'\cie unearthed. Another detour to the
right, this timeoveran elevated plateau
of white sandstone, across which were
drifted great dunes of white sand,
brought the party to the famous so-called
diamond fields of Arizona, about
" hich there was such an excitement in
JS72.
Lingering on its bare red plain, upon
which the sun beat with redoubled in
tensity, only long enough to gather
about a pint of garnets, which were of
excellent quality and very abundant,
camp was made at the foot of a side can
yon which came in from the west and
was known as the canyon Boniio Chi
quifo. Another group of ruins occurred
here, not in large but in scattered houses
up and down the De Chelly and Bonito.
A marked feature was the great reser
voirs, in which there was, even now,
abundant and excellent water. Two or
three miles below in the canyon of the
main stream was a well-preserved two
story house, standing upon a bench ele
vated fifty feet above the valley and
overhung by a great roof of ’ rock
that effectually shields it from the
storms. Near by was a natural reservoir
hlled with good water. Another five or
six miles and the canyon of D c Chelly
opened out into a great valley, from one
three miles i„ width, and extending
up to the foot of the great canyon near
;ort Defiance. Twenty-five to thirty
no miles above the Bonito are sonic pe
l U'i.u table rocks and monuments that
lorm notable landmarks. The ruins are
MO " only a few being met with,
> the eaves at the side of the valley.
I lie bottom lands bear the impress of
very numerous ruins, adobe very iikelv,
that are now almost entirely obliterated,
and would hardly Ik* noticed were it not
for the broken lottery.
At the head of the valley of the De
Chelly the trail turned off to the south
west just above the upper edge of the
great white mesa. Taking only two
others, Mr. Barber, and Lee the guide,
and sending the remainder of the train
back some fifty miles where there was
suitable grazing, Mr. Jackson continued
over to the Moquis l’ueblos, seventy-five
miles distant, with only the photographic
apparatus and supplies for five days.
Tequa was reached by noon of the fol
kswing day. As these Pueblos have ffeen
so frequently described and illustrated,
the party spent only two days and a half
among the six most easterly towns, viz :
iequa, Sc-chum-e-vay, Moqui, Moo
shar-nen, Shong-a-pabwe and She-paul-a
wee. Photographs of each of these were
made, and numerous sketches, illustrat
ing their habits, dress and occupations,
collection of recent and ancient pottery
and tools, and other objects of interest,
were made. The comparison between
the workmanship of northern town
builders and these Moquis was very
much in favor of the former. The high
est jKrfection was reached in the cliff
houses of the Rio Maucos, where some of
the houses were marvels of finish and
durability; and then traveling towards
the Moquis, there is a gradual merging
of one style into the other, from the
neatly-cut rock and correct angle to the
comparatively crude buildings now in
habited.
Retracing their steps to the Han Juan,
at the mouth of the Dc Chelly, the party
now traveled toward the Sierra Abajo
up a stream known as Epsom fcreek, from
the water, which is found near its head,
tasting and operating like that of salt.
The usual indefinite ruins which occur
on the low lands continued up this val
ley over thirty miles. To the west was
a labyrinth of canyons running off into
those of the great Colorado, an examina
tion of some of which discovered many
cave and cliff’ houses and towns, all of
the same general type as the others. The
ruins gradually diminished as they ap
proached the Seirra Abajo, and several
days s|>cnt in the examination of the
canyon and plateaus alxiut it and the
Sierra la Sal failed to bring to light any
more evidence of their occupation.
Nearly opposite the Sierra Abajo or
Blue Mountains, us they are locally
known, head the great canyons and val
leys of the Montezuma, which empties
into the San J nan. Here the bottoms of
the canyons have once supported a very
thickly settled community. There is
almost a continuous series of ruins for a
distance of twenty-five miles. This, in
one canyon only ; and all the others con
tain numerous remains, chiefly in cliff
houses and towns. In the main canyon,
first spoken of, are two ruins notable for
the size of the stones employed in their
construction. In one, built upon a small
isolated tabic land in the middle of the
valley, are stones set upon end, six feet
in length by eighteen inches square, and
ranged along the walls a distance of
twentv-fivc or thirty yards. Another
case is, where] stones seven feet in
height (above ground) and twenty inches
square, are standing perpendicularly
about five feet apart, and form one side
of a wall inclosing the ruins of a large,
important building. Throughout the
canyon every available defensive point
has been utilized, and is now covered
with the remains of heavy walls, and
large blocks of houses. Another singu
lar feature was the number of holes cut
into the lower walls of the canyon for
the purpose of ascending the rock, holes
just large enough to give a hand and
foot hold, and leading either to some
walled-up*cave or to a building erected
above. Some of these steps ascended
the nearly perpendicular face of the rock
for 150 or 200 feet. Oil exposed surfaces
disintegration has almost entirely weath
ered away the holes, while on more pro
tected surfaces they are deep enough to
still answer their original purpose. The
main western branch of the Montezuma
contains the greater number and more
important ruins of all the northern trib
utaries of the San Juan west of the Rio
Maucos. Water was found in a few pools
near its head, and lower down running
along in a small stream a distance of two
or three miles, when it sank again. The
bottoms are rich, and4he present Indians
(Utes) who occupy the country, raise
good crops of corn without irrigation.
The result of this trip was the collec
tion of a large number of utensils, both
modern and ancient, stone arrow and
spear points, knives and axes, photo
graphs, especially illustrative of the most
important ruins, and numerous sketches
of everything of note, which will be
brought out in detail in the regular pub
lication of the survey.
Till: S( NSHIJSE OF SICKS ESS.
Severe illness is a great teacher. It
comes unbidden and unwelcome. Its
stay is often prolonged, as if it were
not an unsolicited visitor. At first wc
feel impatient, and submit with a very
bad grace to the enforced confinement;
we think that business cannot be neg
lected ; that people must be seen; that
not one of numerous things can go on
uni] without us. But this original im
pression soon wears away. We perceive
that the great machinery of the world
moves steadily on without our help, and
even without so much as noting our ab
sence. < )ur anxiety about many matters
steadily diminishes, until, after awhile,
we wonder at the intensity of the inter
est which we once felt in subjects which
we have come to regard as of very little
importance. We grow philosophical.
The days seem longer, because we have
attained a calm, patient, reflective mood:
but they also have become pleasanter.
Pain, if we suffer it, we have become ac
customed to: and maybe we feel anew
veneration for science on account of the
relief which medical knowledge has af
forded us. If the morning lowers, we
confine our thoughts within doors, where
all is cheerful. It is the sunshine which,
on a bright afternoon, streams into the
windows of the still sick chamber, which
awakens the greatest flood of reflections.
We go back to our childhood and school
days. We think of those whom, j>er
chance, we have not thought of for years
before. But how fresh and distinct is our
remembrance of them now! When we
proceed to reflect what has become of
them, and where they are now, our
thoughts wander over many lands, but
they resf mostly upon the churchyards.
It is to those that, one after another —it
seems, as we summon them in memory,
as if it were nearly all —of our youthful
companions are gone. And yet it seems
but yesterday that we were playmates
together. We become sensible that, in
reality, human life is indeed but a mere
span.
PRIMUS A M> HEROD.
“ Look-a yah now. Let dat ar dog
alone now! Dat ar a dang’ous dqg. I tell
you! He goes mad mos’ every sum
mer.”
One always knew when Primus and
King Herod were comiugdown the street.
The boys from the levees found no better
fun than to tease them, while the old
slave and who prided themselves
on their aristocracy, lx>th treated the
“wharf-rats” with a fine scorn.
“ Bring dat rubbish to de Sunday
school?” said Primus to the superinten
dent. “ Fils’ thing you know, sah, dey’ll
be tryin’ to get intoheaben! Dey’ve got
juss dat much brass!”
Primus looked upon heaven as a re
treat reserved for certain good “Virgin
ya famblys,” with their house servants.
For himself he scorned colored churches,
and was the most prominent member of
the little Sunday-school, and King Herod
the only dog allowed to cross its thres
hold. The old fellow sat just under the
stained window, with the hound at his
feet, in a class of little hoys, spelling
over his thumbed, dog-eared hible. Be
sides his lesson, he had taken on himself
to stir the fire and help carry round the
books, and to keep a sharp eye on the
boys outside. When service began,
Herod took a nap in the vestibule, while
Primus devoutly joined in the hymns
and slept through the sermon. In short,
we children looked upon him as so strong
a pillar of the church that, when the
Sunday-school had contributed enough
money to choose a life member of the
missionary society, Primus was at once
elected. A few weeks after, a gorgeous
parchment entitling him to this dignity,
engrossed in German text, and with col
ored seals affixed, arrived, and was fram
ed and hung up in his shanty; and I
should like to have heard anybody ques
tion his right of way into “heaben” after
that!
His little cabin stood on the sunny
side of the hill just out of town; the walls
were literally half windows, as Primus,
who was a tolerable carpenter, had a
habit of begging odd sashes out of torn
down houses, and of cutting a place for
them in his own. His cot-bed was in
front of a square window, the table be
side a triangular one, and the dog’s
carpet under a round one from the old
church.
Over the mantel-shelf hung the mis
sionary parchment, and beneath stood a
row’ of tomato-cans with the red labels
turned out; in the little shed outside
were heaps of wood, coal, a corner cup
board of provisions, and the barrels of
vinegar which Primus called his “man
ufactory,”—to be sold only, however, to
certain “famblvs.”
The children of these “famblys” were
always making journeys up the hill to
see “how eomfble me and Herod keeps
house togedder.” If we were “bores,”
and “nuisances,” and “little pitchers”
elsewhere, in Primus’ slianty we were
guests worthy of high honor. The old
man’s eyes began to twinkle as he saw us
coming through the paw-paw hushes,
and King Herod dashed wildly to and
fro (if ever a dog laughed, he laughed
then); the fire was piled up, johnny
cake put on the ashes, and delicious
sausages set on to sizzle in the pan,
while Primus was coaxed out of qpme
of his hunting stories, in which Herod’s
father and uncles bore a thrilling part.
“ Old Mars’ Cha’les he kept none but
de best blood of dogs; look at de muzzle
now oh dis pup’s, and de ears, fine as
any lady’s. Hi! you He-rodf. you
laughin’at dat? You’s miffin’ to corn
par’ wid yer fader,” winking aside to us,
and whispering, “ Mus’ take lie’s spirit
down. He’s awful vain pup.”
The pup was older than any of us, ex
cept Primus, who might have been born
with Methuselah, for all we knew. His
woolly hair was white, and hung about
his neck; his leather-colored skin crin
kled in countless wrinkles, and the half
worn clothes which we carried to him. as
soon as he put them on, suddenly took
on a iook of immeasurable age. Primus,
coming like the shadow down the sunny
street, knock-kneed and gray, with his
big demijohns of vinegar, one in each
hand, always seemed to us children to
have just walked out of that far-away
time of his fairy stories, that “Once
upon a time, when turkeys drank wine,
and swallows built their nests in old
men's Tiearas.”
Herod, Primus, and the demijohns
made weekly rounds of the “fambly; ”
they had the freedom of every kitchen
and pantry, and there was always a pie,
or loaf, or plate of “turkey n’ fixin’s’
set away for them to carry back to th©
corner cupboard. The old man, too,
took the keenest interest in all the affairs
of the house, from the new wash-tubs to
“ Miss Embly’s furrin’ lover from Ne r
York.” He would trot down by day
light on a winter’s morning to know if
letters had come from Master Joe, who
was ill at college ; or protesting that he
“couldn’t sleep all night for thinkin’of
dat ar debble of a chimblv, an’ had made
out a way to make it draw,” while Herod
stood by as anxious as he. In fact,
Primus talked to him so constantly of
such things that the dog, 1 am confident
to this day, understood all about them.

Mrs. Cross of Paw Paw, Michigan,
thinking her husband was unduly atten
tive to his brother’s wife, was thereby
made jealous. One evening he left the
house late, and she guessed he had gone
to meet his sister-in-law. So Mrs. Cross
followed stealthily and discovered, not
a liason, but a murder. She dogged him
to a place where he was joined by two
brothers, and thence kept them in sight
while they took a drunken stranger to
ward a lake. Then she went home. The
stranger was robbed and drowned, and
her testimony is used in the trial of the
three brothers.

Why I>o Yonny Men heave the Farm 7
We have answers without number,
complaints without end, warnings innu
merable not to do so, but still this exo
dus goes on. The abstract argument is
largely on the side of the depreeators.
Country life, though by no means what
it might be. is more wholesome physically,
morally and mentally than that of towns.
Farm life, however dull and dreary its
drudgery, can be, and generally is, more
independent than any commercial, or
than most mechanical pursuits.
What must we do? If we would retain
our young men in the simpler, more
healthful and better life of the country,
we must not only make our farm houses
more pleasant and attractive, as many
have already insisted, but we must place
our calling on a paying basis. We must
follow out earnestly the plans begun by
our Patrons of Husbandry. We must
educate ourselves. We must know more
than how to read, ivrite and cipher. We
must know our relations to the world as
great producers and consumers, and un
derstand the cost of our products and the
cost of the products of those with whom
we exchange.— IF. C. Flagg.

There is no use talking about it, there
is not an intelligent farmer in the south
who does not know that it is to his in
terest, as well as to the interest of this
country, to plant sparingly of cotton the
present year. The ruinous consequences
of over-production have been preached
to him for the last ten years, yet, in the
blindness of his zeal, he has followed the
promptings of his own unyielding will,
and he stands to-day confronted by them
with no power to escape, the victim of
his errors. Had the lesson of the past
been heeded, the country would have
prospered ; progress in every material in
terest would have marked the fleeting*
years, and instead of embarrassment and
debt, the condition of the people would
be far more solvent and hopeful than it
is. But their condition, bad as it is, is
not yet hopeless. If farmers will but do
as well as they know how, impelled by
the necessities of the times and profiting
by the bitter experience of the past, they
will arise, and taking anew departure
will inaugurate those much-needed re
forms, which will bring back to them
their long-lost prosperity. Unity of pur
pose and co-operation in efforts to pursue
the better way, is all that is needed to
secure success. Less cotton, and plenty
of “hog and liominy” should he the
motto of the southern farmer.

The following description of a profita
ble hog, was reported by the committee,
at the Swine Breeders’ convention at In
dianapolis, Indiana: le must have a
small, short head, heavy jowls and thick,
short neck; ears small, thin, and tolera
bly erect, ifot objectionable if they
droop Hlightly forward ; must I>C Straight
from the neck hack to flank; must be let
well down to the knees in brisket; of
good length from head to tail; broad on
the back ; ribbed rather barrel-shaped ;
must be slightly curved or arched in the
back from shoulder to the setting on the
tail; tail, small; long in the ham from
hock to letting off tie loins: shoulder
not too large to give symmetry to the
animal; ham broad and full ; hair
smooth, and evenly set on ; skin solt and
elastic to the touch; legs short, small,
and well set under; broad between the
legs; good depth between bottom and
top of the hog; with pleasant, quiet
disposition; should not weigh more than
three or four hundred pounds gross at
twelve to eighteen months old, according
to keep; color may be black, or white, or
mixture of the two. The above described
hog will measure as many feet from the
top of the head to setting on of tail as
he does around the body, and will meas
ure as many inches around the leg be
low the knee as he does feet in length
around the body; depth of body will be
four-fifths of his height.

Shorthorn sales are becoming almost
as sensational as those of thoroughbred
yearlings were a short time since, and it
is no uncommon thing for an animal of
the Bates or Brook blood, each of which
strains has its respective admirers and
even champions, to be sold for a price
equal to that which a Derby winner
would have realized a few years ago.
From comparative tables of the results
of those sales during the past year in
Great Britain and America, which are
published in the almanac of '
. u that the total
tliral —
amounts realized at these sales were al
most the same for both countries. The
returns refer only to the sales of “ pedi
gree shorthorns,” that is to say, of ani
mals inscribed in the “ Herd book,”
which is for 'cattle what the “ Stud
book ” is for the turf, and from them we
learn that, while the sixty-five sales held
in Great Britain yielded a total of £228,-
088 16s, 6d., and fifty-seven sales in
America amounted to £204,790 6s. lOd
each of the American sales amounted
upon an average to £3,593, as against
£3,509 for each of tie English sales, but
the average does not in reality remain
with American breeders, for, though eight
fewer sales were held there, the number
of animals disposed <f were within tVn
of those sold at horn?- The 2,589 short*
horns sold in America averaged £79 each,
and the 2,599 sold ii Great Britain £B7
each. The largest ptal realized at any
one sale was £42J|9 165., for which 84
animals, belongingto the late Mr. Torr,
a Lincolnshire farter, were disposed of
in September. TIS highest price given
at this sale was 2160 guineas, and the
average for the ivhole lot was £5lO
19s. Still more |?markable was a sale
held in Scotland u week previously,
when thirty-nine animals, the property
of Lord Dunmore, fdched £26,233 15s.
This gives an averafle of £672 Bs. for
each animal, one of which went for
4,500 guineas. At a third sale, thirty
four animals fetched more than £IO,OOO,
and several others took place at which
the totai was over £7,000, and the aver
age over £2OO. The most successful sale
held in America was that at which eighty
three shorthorns fetched £18,534 15s. 5d.,
**r’jth an average of $402 19s. 9d. for the
whole number, one of them reaching
£3,225. At two other sales in America
totals of rather more than £IO,OOO were
obtained for thirty five and for thirty
three lots, the average in the two cases
being slightly over and under £3OO.
These figures may be left to speak for
themselves, but it is impossible to avoid
the suspicion that purchasers will not,
in the long run, get the best of the bar
gain.—Pall Mall Gazette.

‘•FACTS ARE STVIiBOKN' THIRDS.'*
Thousands of human beings are yearly
borne on the swift current of disease down to
the grave, just because they do not possess a
sufficient knowledge of themselves. A man
meets his neighbor, and the first salutation is,
“ How are you ?” or “ How is your health ?”
The reply frequently is, “ Oh, I am well, with
the exception of a cold.” Most persons
lightly regard a cold. Reader, do you know
that a cold is one of the most dangerous of
maladies ? A cold not only clogs up the pores
of the entire system, and retards circulation,
but it is productive of Catarrh, which is quite
apt to lead to consumption. “ Oh,”you say,
“it is nothing but a cold in my head.” True ;
but that cold is really a mild form of Catarrh,
and if not arrested in its course will become
chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disagree
able, offensive affections in the catalogue of
diseases. The passage to the nose is ob
structed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced stages,
there is a discharge having an offensive odor.
If the disease be allowed to continue iu its
course, thick, hard incrustations will form in
the head, the bones of which sometimes be
come softened and break away in pieces.
Why will persons continue to suffer from such
an annoying, disgusting disease, when they
can just as well be cured of it? Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms of
Catarrh ; in fact, it is the only sure and safe
remedy which has yet been offered to the
public. Many harsh, irritating preparations
may, for a time, relieve the urgency of the
symptoms, but they do not cure the disease.
Dg. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy is soothing and
healing in its effects, and when used with
Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, according to di
rections, does not fail to effect a cure. Sold
by all druggists. i

CoysUMmvks, Take Notice.—Every rnoimnt
of delay makes your case more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck’s Pul
monic Syrup, as a cure for Consumption, far exceeds
all that can lie brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See I>r. Scheuek’s Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest respectability, who have been restored to
health, after being pronounced incurable by phy&i
chins of acknowledged ability, Scheuck’s Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedies which l)r. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake rills.
By the timely use of these medicines, according to
directions, Dr. Schenck certifies that most any ease
of consumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
fice, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must lie ad
dressed.
