g Neatness. ' In its essence, and purely for its own sake, neatnees is found in few., Many ‘aman is neat for appearance sake; there is an instinctive feeling that there ‘is power in it. ' When a man consults ‘2 physician or a lawyer- for_the first time, or comes to rent a house or borrow money, he will come in his best dress ; alady in her carriage. A man who means business and honesty comes a 8 he is, just as you will find him in his store, his shop, his counting-house.— The most accomplished gamblers dress well ; the most enterprising swindlers are faultlessly clothed, but countless multitudes are but whitewashed sepulchres. Too many *‘dont care, so long as it will be seen.” Washington Allston, the great artist, the accomplished gentleman, suddenly left his friend standing at thedoor of a splendid Boston mansgion as they were about entering for a party, because he had just remembered that he had a/hole in his stocking. It conld not be seen -or known, but the very knowledge of its existence made him feel that he was less a man than he ought to be, gave him a feeling of inferiority. - As persons are less careless of personal cleanliness and tidy apparel, they are infallibly and necessarily less of the angel, more of the animal ; more under the domination of passion, less under the influence of principal. Said a poor gervant girl: “I can,t explain what change religion has made in me, but I look more closely under the doormat, when I sweep, than I used to.”— Intelligence, culture, elevation give purity of body as well as purity of sense and sentiment. ‘Wheére you see a neat, tidy. cleanly, cheerful dwelling, there you will find a joyous, loving, happy family. But if filth and squalor, and a disregard for the refining delieacies of life prevail in any household, ithere will be found in the moral character of the inmates much that is low, degrading, unprinci-~ pled, vicious and disgusting. Therefore, as we grow in years, we ought to watch eagerly against neglect of cleanliness in person, and tididess in dress. — Hall’s Journal of Health.

Andther Baby; Monstrosity. The Shelby, 0., Newssays: There exists, about three and one-half miles north of Shelby, a curiosity almost as great as the double child of Morrow county, Itisa child about eight years old, the body of which has never grown, and its head only the first year after it was born, The head, however, is very large, weighing much more- than its body—perhaps twenty-five pounds alone. It cannot walk or speak, but gives evidence of intelligence. It takes food in the usual manner, having had its first teeth cut, which have been succeeded by others. Its health has generally been good, and exhibits playfulness as children generally do when in health, yet it is as helpless as a child two days old. The parents, James and Jane Powell, are aged about forty years, aud no cause has or can be ' assigned by them for this strange phenomenon, unless it could be traced to small-pox, which the mother had durring the period of gestation. 'The parents have frequently asked to permit the child to be exhibited, but have refuged all such requests. -

Woman’s Power for Good and -Evil. One gifted and beautiful woman, if wrongly disposed, can work more evil in society, can scatter more seeds of corruption and death, than, with their utmost efforts, a score of men, Her capabilities for good in the different department of morals are equally great, and in such proportions to her powers, both for good and evil, must be her condemnation, if - she is false to her stewardship. Society cannot be destroyed if woman is true, nor saved if woman ig false. Besides, society shows no unequal discrimination in regard to this particular class of offences. The rule applies to all. A fp,rofame woman, a drunken woman, a female thief, or murderer excites always a greater horror and disgust than if the crime had been committed by a man. And this is right, and it will be an evil day for this world when woman in her sin excites no more abhorrence than a man.

‘Wife, Mistress, Lady. : ‘Who marries for love, takes a wife ; who marries for fortune takes a mis~ tress ; who ‘marries for position takes alady. You are loved by your wife, regarded by your mistress, tolerated by your lady. You have a wife for yourself, a mistress tor your house and friends, a lady fw world and society. Your wife agree with {on, your mistress will rule you, your lady will manage you.

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1872.

. “REV.PETER CARTWRIGHT. . From a bigraphical sketch of this cele: brated divine, we clip the tollowing: Though exemplary in his conduct and devoted to the work of his ministry, he took a lively interest in public affairs, and was a good deal of a polifician. He at one time defeated Abraham Lincoln for a seat in the Illinois Legislature, and, as he quaintly remarked after the latter became President, thought he “had accomplished no big things when he did it.” While upon moral and religious grounds he was an antislavery man, he was always a democrat in politics, and because he refused to -inveigh agsinst the rebellion from the pulpit, he-geclme somewhat unpopular in his church during the late civil war—though his eminently pious and congistent christian life had secured for him such favor in the estimation of the people that the conference 'dared not subject bim to the indignities which fell to the lot of so many other men of similar views.

His life was full of adventure, and the amusing anecdotes told of him, and which he told of himself, are almost innumerable. . We will give the substance of a single incident, as related in his autobiography. Tt ia as follows:. : o Within the bounds of a district in Illinois, of ‘which he was presiding elder, there resided a member of the church, pi; ous and devoted, whose ‘wife,. though otherwise a most excellent woman, was an inexorable heretic and scoffer at religion, and who threw every obstacle possible in the way of the religious life of her husband, making it exceedingly unpleasant to:him. Upon the occasicn of one of Mr. Cartwright's quarterly meetings, the husband acquainted him with the facts, and asked him to spend:the time at his house, and see if he could not effect some reformation in the conduct of the wife. The elder said that he would on condition that be should be allowed to pursue his own course in the management of the case without binderance or offense 'To this the . husband consented, and Mr. Cart, wright went to the house in question to spend the night, He was courteously re. ceived by the landlady, who spread an excellent supper, and made herself exceed: ingly agreeable. "All things went on pleasantly till bed time, when the lady. produced a candle and said to her guest that he might retire to his room when he chose. : ;

“But,” said Mr. Cartwright, “it is my babit always to have tamily prayer before retiring.” ; “I care nothing for your habits” replied the landlady; “we will have none of that nonsense here. You may pray in your own room as much as you like, but notin mine. “Really,” said he, “you do not seriously object to my prayimg ‘in your household #” . » ~ “Indeed I do, and what is more, I don’t intend that you shall do it,” said she. “But I will, though, whatever your intentions may be,” he responded? “We shall see,” said the woman. Mean, while Mr. C. had produced a copy of the bible from his saddle bags, and was making ready to observe his evening devotions. : . At this point the house-wife mafe demonstrations as if to extinguish the candle, accompanied by the most emphatic declaration that sbe would have none of thatin her house. “We shall see,” said Peter, and rising he grappled his hostess, and by violence he thrust her outside the house and barred the door. She was of course frantic with rage, and the husband signified a disposition to interpose. Mr. Cartwright reminded him of the conditions upon which he came to the house, and insisted that he be allowed to manage the case. - The husband submitted, and Mr. Cartwright selected a long chapter, nead it slowly, sung a long hymn, and prayed long and loud—the wife meanwhile rattling at the door blind with rage, and demanding to be admitted, :

When he was through with his prayer the preacher went to the door and inquired of the woman outside if she would consent to family worship if let in. She said “No.” ' “Very well then, you will remain outside,” said he, and he read and prayed again, and repeated thé question with the same result for the second time.. 1t was midwinter and bitter cold, and at the end of the third prayer the wife was so chilled that she was forced to consent to the terms demanded by the singular guest, and was admitted, when in bhis usual form he again conducted family worship and retired for the night, the sequel being that the lady went to church next day, and soon became an sctive and useful member of the society. This singular story is said to be literally true,and to be but a sample of many others scarcely less incredible; He is now, if living, in his eighty-eighth year, and has for sixty-eight years been an active minister of the gospel. His end is nigh, and this generation will not look upon his like again, S

Kerr for Governor, % We are glad to see that quite a num~ ber of democratic papers are urging the nomination of Hon. M.C.Kerr for Governor. He has been our choice from the first. - : We understand that Mr, Kerr is not an aspirant for any position, His private affairs need his attention, and justice to himself and his family demands that they should be put in better shape, and his wasted fortune, never very large, recuperated. But he will not refuse to serve in any position in which lllle may be placed, if the people call im. Mr. Kerr is one of the. foremost men of the country. 'Everywhere he is recognized as one of the ablest chamgions of the people. His honesty, his devotion to principle, his aims which tend only to the good of the country, has given the people confidence in him, and they will yet see that he shall be rewarded for the labor he has done, and the sacrifices he has made, in the last eight years — Seymour Democrat. ;

The crop prospect for the current year are much less discouraging than the reports of the Agricultural Department at Washington have indicated.

THE CINCINNATI NOMINATIONS, - That portion of the ‘republican party which has solemnly determined to pursue a course that will tend to a correction of the abuses existing in the administration of President Grant, and which is known to the country as the Liberal Republican me, met at Cincinnati last week _and ormally declared its intentions and nominated n/ ticket. In numbers, in the ability, the prominence and influence of the men controlling it, and in the earnestness of purpose and enthusiasm of those participating in it, the convocation was the equal of any that has ever been held in this country for the- encompassment of a like object. There was a representation from every State in thé Union and most of the Territories, and the body was wholly composed of men who are, and have been for long years, members of the republican party, and most of tbem leading members at that, * * * It is a fact patent to all that the democratic party has given encouragement to the movement which has been Inaugurated by the Liberal Republicans, and that it bas done so with a hearty and sincere de‘B¢ to aid in a restoration of good govetment throughout the land, and to.secnre a pure, ah honest and an economic administration of public affairs, having no confidence in ifsown strength, or power to succeed, in a contest:where the purse and the sword are jointly against it. It is doubtless true that many accessions could be won from the’ opposition, but it is at the same time questionable whether the number would be equal to the necessity. If there has been any blunder committed by the democratic party, in respect to the liberal movement, it is by en- - couragement at its inception with prom - ises of a coalition if it should organize and nominate. This it has done, and if now the democratic party should give evidence of faithlessness the movement. would disappear as fog before the rising sun, and those who have been misled by delusive assurances would become the most bitter and unrelenting antagonists of those who had deceived them. The result of such antagonism can be readily foretold. They who pretend to see in this division in the republican party an .opportunity to elect ‘a democratic President had therefore better undeceive themselves as quickly as possible. There i 8 no encouragement in the past history of party schisms for any such hope, because they were totally unlike the present breach. : _The problem to be solved is whether the democratic masses can forget and forgive the past and unite with those who have given substantial evidence of an honest purpose to restore the Union and reinstate republican government,or whether they will conduct a Presidential contest on their own responsibility with indifference as -to the ccnsequences. It is admitted that the candidates ot the Liberal Republicans are not such men as they can cheerfully and without reluctance reconcile themselves to support, but is the objest to be attained not paramount to any considerations of personal likes or dislikes? Is it preferable to continue the despots and plunderersand bigots and prescriptionists in power simply because we caonot have a leader of our own choice, notwithstanding our confidence in the integrity of the nominee of our contingent allies? . And, as for the prihciples involved, the restoration to the States of all their original rights, the amnesty of all citizens for political offences, and a complete and searching reform in every department: of the government, must in the view of all who are disposed ‘to be just ‘be the pre eminent objects in the next Presidential contest, and all other questions of inferior significance; and for the success of these objects we believe the democratic masses should yield their prejudices and sacrifice their personal preferences. There is nothing to be gained by perversity. The democratic party has the power to redress the wrongs inflicted upon the country by an unscrupulous and ‘vicious administration, and it will perform an act-of criminal folly if it does not take advantage ot the situation. In its own ranks it does not have the men who carry with them the influence with the majority in Congress possessed by the liberal nominees, an influence powerful for the accomplishment of the laudable ‘purposes for which the liberal republican party was called into existence, and without which a democratic victory, if one could be achieved, which is doubtful, would be empty indeed. ; We know that the democratic party is ;mtuotic'aud unselfish enough to concede he choice ot candidates to the Liberals if thereby the great ends for which they are laboring can be secured, and it then ‘becomes the latter to show’ by a like spirit that they are worthy of this confi. dence, and that they are properly organized to receive and make it available. These views are predicted on the assumption that Ulysses Grant, or 8 member of ‘the corrupt ripg with which he is identi fied; will receive the nomination of the officeholders’ convention at Philadelphia next month.—Huntington Democrat.

IN the past political record of Mr. Greeley we find very much that we disapprove of, but the questions over which we differed have been settled and become obsolete, and we are willing to let the dead past bury its own dead. It is only with the living present and futtre we can deal; and upon all the living and practi cal questions of the day the position of Mr. Greeley is perhaps as ugexceptionable to Democrats as that of any other prominent man in the republicah party. -He is & bold, frank and candid man. 'All admit his ability and integrity. Then why not support him? Should the democratic party, through its national convention, accept the platform and ticket presented by the Cincinnati convention, and give it their support, the elecfion of Gree%ey and Brown will be a foregone conclusion, but’ if they withhold that support this ticket will be defeated, and in all probability Grant will be re elected. The democratic party, while they cannot, as we.believe, elect a ticket of their own, can nevertheless decide the contest between the liberal and radical Republicans. They. can either elect Greeley and Brown by giving to them their support, or they-can insure the election of Grant by withholding their support from the Cincinnati ticket, and running mien of their own. In this emergency we think no Democrat should hesitate as to: the course to be pursued.—Anderson Democrak. O

‘The Connersville Bzaminer takes this view of the situation: We are for beating Grant, not because we object to the man, but because we believe bis system of carrying on the Government, is an injury to the people, fatal to the democratic doctrine of our fathers, and subversive to the whole structure of onr Constitution. -~ If the question ~will be as between Grant and Greeley, we are for Greeley, for his personal chatacter is without blemish. . He has always been bold and honest in his_convictions, and although his political principles and measures seldom equared with those of the Democracy, be slways let. us know what he was and..

The Seymour Suk, edited by 8. W. Holmes, late Clerk of the House of Representatives, is favorable to the ticket. In support of its position, the Sun ad: vances this argument: ‘ That Mr. Greeley possesses honesty and ability to fill that office mone doubt: Perhaps no man in the government has a more general and thorough knowledge of governmental affairs than Mr. Greeley. We are firmly of opinion that the Democratic National Convention ought to ratify the nomination, and if they should do so, we believe he can and will Carry 88 many votes as any other Liberal Republican, and be triumphantly elected, - We will cheerfully support the ticket and work faithfully and earnestly for its success. 1f the democratic party should sce proper to make a nomination, we will stand by it as firmly and faithfully as we have ever done by any in the past. We suggest to Democrats the propriety and necessity of cool and' calm consider. ation of this matter, and not to commit themselves too hastily, but to await with patience the developments of the fature, and to stand ready to co-operats with cheerfulness in -whatever the national gonvehti_ou shall determine is best to be. one. f 3

The Marion Democrat is non.committal, though the following extract from .its leading editorial indicates a readinese to go for Greeley: L The Democracy are neither responsible for, nor committed: to the “new Depart. ure” in the republican camp, hence, it as: a party, can hct%udepen@ently and adopt | such a line of policy, after considering all/ the circumstances, as will enure to the! best interests of the country and secure! to the people of the United States a com-’ petent, honest, and honorable administration.. We have been frequently asked whether we are for Greeley. We answer that if it is reduced to a choice between the policy of the incumbent of ‘the present administration and the standard bearer of the policy adopted by Liberal Republicans, we would preter the latter,

Musselman, of the Stark county Ledger, speaks: thusly: : ; As regards the Greeley nomination we shall give our readers our views at some other time. It is a matter in which we have taken no stock, up to the present time, but would advise our democratic, friends to wait and see what & day may bring forth. One thing is certain, that Greeley, if elected, could not do worse than Grant hes done; but as it is not our fight ‘we indorse the action of “the Cineinnati Convention in its effort to reform the abuses of the present administration, and hope their efforts may result in accomplishing that ob!'ect. , _lf the party is shrewd and up with the times, there will be no ticket nominated in oppositipu’ﬁ‘) the nominees of the Cin. cinnati convention. But if the lessons of the past are of no effect, and is still farther education in the bull head destructive theary must continue to be the policy, then the old Pharaohs had better hang on till the waves sink them beyond redemption.— Elkhart Democratic Union.

; ' Anecdote of Henry Clay. by It is narrated of Henry Clay that when he voted in Congress for the old bankrupt law, and returned home, one of his constituents, a sturdy hunter of Kentucky, told him. frankly that he counld not support him asa candidate for reelection, assigning as a reason that his vote for the bankrupt bill was in defiance of right and justice. After using his persuasive eloquence upon his constituent in vain, Mr. Clay at length said : I see, my old friend, you carry a good rifle. A true piece, I suppose.” . “As true as ever carried a ball, or killed a bear or panther,” was the answer, “When you bave been out hunting,” continued Mr. Clay, “and bad a particularly fine mark fora shot iu sight, did your trusty rifle ever fail you?” ‘ _ “Only once,” "said the hunter, brightening up with interest ; and he proceeded to narrate an excee¢dingly aggravated case wherein he had “failed to kill his game, because hisgun had failed to go off promptly. ‘ Mr. Clay then asked quietly, “‘Did you then break your gun to pieces, or put on a fresh cap and'try again?” '. “Break my old gun to pieces,” said the hunter,—“the one I fought the British with at New Orleans, when old Hickory whipped Packenham? Not by a d—d sight. I carry the old gun yet,and,” with a look of affection at the trusty piece, “she never failed me again.” =~ “Then,” said Mr. Clay, his tall form towering as he spoke with spirit, “are you going to discard me because I failed one time to please you by my vete in Congress? Why not do as you did with your gun—try me again.” g With tears in his eyes the brave old hunter seized Mr. Clay by the hand, and shouted, “Try you again, Harry? T'll do it, Harry,—so help me God! Your heart is right, and I shall rot go back on you for one mistake. Hurrah for the Mill Boy of the Slashes!"” And ever afterward the old hunter was Mr. Clay’s ateadfast friend. e i

My Dear Sister :—This, T believe, is Easter Sunday, although I am so far away from civilization that I -scarcely know when such days comeandgo. |~ . I suppose, at heme, you' had very fine music in' the Episcopal chiurch this morning. Here we had a sermon after the usual style, by Rev. John Menaul, Missionary to the Indians. -Our church is & room in Mr. Menaul's house, where, during the week, his wife teaches the ideas of the little Indians how to shoot, ‘and on Sunday it is turned into & meeting house. ,The style of arhitecture displayed in the constigotion of the room is in the highest de. gree novel and uniqae. -It has a plastered mud floor, rough walls 6f & light brdwn tint ; and overhead large, round logs instead of rafters. There is s fire-place, & rough, unpainted desk fof the preacher; wooden benches and s few chairs around the wall for the congregation. The window ’aé door open upon the street, or would §f there was a street, snd there are ususlly as many Indisns looking in at the ‘window as can possibly find a place. They: sometimes come in and stay during part of the sermon. On one occasion Mambleto, the war-chief; came in and shook hands with all the men present before taking his seat, and each one, who came in aftewards, was obliged to stop and shake hands with him before he waa allowed to pass. He remained some time but seemed to be¢ome quite tired towarsthe last, and, finally, began to converse aloud with a squaw who sat near him on the floor. Being requested to desiat, he did soo, and very soon went out, mounted his horse and rode away. I supposé his .objeot in coming was like that of other great men who occasionallp lend their prosence to certain scenes: in order to signify their approval of the same. - LA el

Some quite diverting incidenis ‘sometimes oceur. For instante, ““Old Balely,” the Indian wood-hauler, once stuck highead in when church was about half out; and looking around till he found Mr, Ayers, of whom he was in search, said in Indian dialect, “Hastin wano, chen-ya-go,” which, being interpreted, means ‘dinner is ready.’ You ask about the coutitry. I am afraid I can give you very little ides about the appearance of this gountry from any description which I can;give. - You must see it for yourself in order to know what it is like. In the first place it is.not level, al. though in this vicinity it is hilly rather. than mountainous, The hills: are very rocky, sid the tops, and sides also where the ascent is gradual, covered with evergreens, pine and pinon, the latter, I believe, being pec{lligr to this country. Its. foliage is more like that of :the cedar than the pine, but the wood looks miore like pine and confains a great deal of pitch.— We use pinon (pinyon) in our fite-places altogether, and being dry and resinous it makes a magnificent fire. The cedar we use in the stoves as it snaps tod much for an open fire. I don’t think there is much pine in this immediate vicinity; at any rate the Indians never haul it in. Some of the hills are bare except for the sagebrush which grows to the hight of two or three feet ag_d_ap_onndﬁ in all parts of this pompbry. oo by @y

This post is situated in a valley with " these hills or tables rising on each side.—. ' Our house is at one corner of the square “and from our side windows we look out - acrogs thegarden againsttheslmost perpen- } dicular side of one these of tables. This one is only sixty feet high, and from the top to the depth of perhaps ten feet, is nothing but solid rock ; for the remainder of the way down it is 8 mixture of dirt and large, loose stones, which have at different times broken off from the top and rolled down. | Notwithstanding its steepness the side of thig' hill ‘is covered with trails leading up to the top and thence in various directions to their “hogans.” A great many Indians go up and down these trails every day both on foot and horseback, and they even ride their horses down on the trot, at the imminent risk, it seems to me, of both horse: and rider falling headlong and breaking their necks. On warm, sunny dayd numbers’ of Indians are to be seen sitting up ‘there on rocks sunning’ them‘selves and ‘‘viewing the landseape o’er.” On the edge of this Mess, the Mexican name for these hills, and the name by which they are umiversally called here, are the ruins of a wateh house, built during the war with the Navajoes, where & sentinel was eomstantly kept on the lookout to give the alarm in case of the approach of Indians. On the opposite side of the post the hills gre higher and the ~ascent more gradual. They arescovered with evergreens, and are & guarter of & mile distant, . Through these hills rans a deep gorge hslf & mile in length, called canon_bonito, the walls. of rock on qithir'l side rising' perpendicularly and fo the ‘ hight of one hundred and fifiy feet, the tops, of course, being -irggg*h_r_;jnﬂh sn oocasional evergreen growing out'of the side ‘with apparently nothing but rock to take root fn. Through this ¢anon runs am’ -arroys,.or. gully, perhaps we would call 4it, which has been washed ouf by water, and there is now s stream constantly flow--ing through it. Just outside the can-. on the siresm is damined, and ditohen lead off in various directions supplying the post with water in the winter.

then, as we .could seé by lﬁoking ahead, come back to the original direction ; and it-was invariably on acoount of an arroys, impassable except at that one point. Dur. ing the rainy season they all have water flowing in them ;-but now, I suppose, are nearly or quitedry. - - The'principtlh - canon of ,;l.his region is Canon de Chailly, which is thirly miles long, and whose walls, in some places, are thirteen hundred feet high, There is a great deal of orystalline quartz in it and is said to be worth visiting. There isa large settlement of Navajoes up there; and it is' ode of their principal farming distriots. - It is thirty miles distart from here, - and a party of us'may go up on an explor: ‘iqg- expedition this-summer provided we ¢an get a conveyance. ‘1 This whole country is wild and grand’in the extreme, ‘BO much so that the wildness and grandeur become monotonous in riding through it for several days in succession. The road from here to Wingate js very romantic*and not long emough to. become tiresome. , Three miles out, at the right of the road, is one of the landmarks known a 8 ‘“black Rock,” a huge, irregular mass of rock, almost black and totally different 5 i i L ok

in color and appearance from any of the surrounding rock. It can be seen for a distance of 150 ‘miles. It is very porous and has the sppearance of having issued a molten mass from the. crater of a vilcano at some remote period. Ei'?ht miles furth-’ er on is another land-mark,.thé ‘Haystack,’ a group of immense rockd; standing by themselves and. bearing some resemblance in color and form to’hay-iueks.-— _ These rocks have every appearance of hav‘ing been at some time submerged and iwashed smooth by water: | The road leads ‘on up hill and down, through arroyas and groves of evergreens, but always in a valley of some width, with ‘m;saa of red, yellow and green sand-stone, jutting out irrogularly into: the valley Fomqtimes near _the road and sometimes a long way off.— “Some of these misas bear every indication of having caved in on one side so that the strata of rock instead of lying horizontally isinclined at an angle. The top is always covered with. grass, and LOmetime‘g trees, and on one side this grass& part will be on’ a.level with the foot while on the other it. will be several- ‘hundredifeet in the air, ‘aB though the earth under one side had fallen ‘in and let down the' top, while on the oth--‘er side it is still supported in itg original position. About half way between here _and Wingate is “Rock Séring,’_’ a beautiful, clear, deep spring, in 8 rocky basin at_ the foot of & wall of rock 100 feet high.— It is approached through an evergreen: ~grove and is a very romantic spot. It is usually made the lunehiﬁg spot when we stop for luncheon. The ¢nly signs of life' to be ih‘et_ with are an In;lian‘or'tw‘o mak‘ing the trip on foot, an gccasional cayote ~and sometimes a fow orows. These’crows -are very large fand look, to me; like ravens. They sre very dm;nerous here and are called ‘the scavengers of the country, ‘because they eat carrion and all kinds of flth. - SaE e

After leaving Rock Spring‘ the .next place of interest is our’ |la:t camping ground,-. in a grove of evergreensabout fifteen miles from Wingate. A few miles further on we cross the Rio Puerco, on a rude bridge, and eight miles from Wingate reach ¢*Stinking Spring,” the waler of which isjust what the name would indicate. This spring is also & round, deep f)ool‘ at_the foot of High Rocks: About this time the Navajo ‘church comes into view, on top of a misa way off to the left. - This is a mass of rock, bearing at a distance, a strong resem- ; “blance to & church with a gpire. - Then we 1 cross\Wesg Creel:t and arcjs soon at Wingate. - . The only drawback to the pleasure of the ride in pleasant weather is the constant whipping and urging necessary to get the mules along. However, after riding be-’ “hind them a few times, you conclude, as evéry one does, that mules can stand anything and begin to sympathize with the driver who has to ply his whip so vigorously ithat his arm frequently gives out entirely. The soil in this part of the country is very fertile,‘and the only drawback to its cultivation is the want of water. As it . rains only in July and August irrigation ‘has to be %;énded on entirely; sand though there fre fine streams in some val‘leys, in others there are none, or they are ‘BO deep down that they cannot be made available for irrigating. The season here 'is also very short, 8o that some things do -not mature well ; but in the gardens ev-erything-is raised except potatoes. They will not grow. Some one says that ten “years ago, when this was a military. post, ' potatoes enough to supply ajl New Mexico were raised here. Ido not kmow how true it is, but if they grew here once they ought to grow again. - Cogw sy The .climate here -is delightful, a great improvement on that of Indiana. .
