Birds as Friends to the Farmer.
BY DR. TRIMBLE, NEWARK, N. J.
ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE FARMERS'
CLUB. N. Y., Nov. 2D, 1869.
Any one who wishes to learn the
condition of tbe fruit crops of the
country can have no better place than
the Washington Market of New York.
quinces, tne late pears, and tne win
ter supply of apples are now there.
Those whose eyes have been educated
to see blemishes upon fruit will be as
tonished at finding so many. The
most apparent are those in the apples.
and caused by the apple moth. This
Insect is tne second in importance or
all the enemies of our fruits. This
moth, like most other moths and but
terfties, increases rapidly. Some de
posit several hundred e?$rs at a brood.
and there are two broods of the apple
moth each year. The rules of arith
metic would show us how such a rate
of increase would so multiply all these
enemies that all the apples of tbe
country would soon be appropriated
by them none left for us. But this
insect, like most others, has its checks.
The weather sometimes comes to our
relief. Some Insects feed upon other
insects, and many are destroyed by
parasites. But I wish to speak now
particularly oi tne Diras as our irtenas
in protecting us, to a great extent,
against the dangerous accumulation
of insect enemies. Here is a bunch of
a dozen birds, already picked, bought
in the Washington Market. Two of
them are the downy woodpecker. This
is one of the woodpecker family that
remains witn us au winter, ana ltKe;
most of tbe others is exclusively in-
seetivorrms. Here are some specimens
: 1 1 : a

othera every year,- perforated through
and throuch by an insect, until it is
i
out of shape, insipid, and almost
worthless. This Is the work of the
caterpiller of an apple moth. This
caterpiller, after feeiiinc to maturity.
leaves the apple and seeks a place of
concealment in whtcn to spin its
cocoon. If the tree hns scales of bark
large enough to suit it purpose, it
will take refuge there, and there this
downy woodpecker finds it. Here are
scales of bark from apple and pear
trees, under which the remains of the
cocoons of this insect may be seen,
and on the other side of each vou may
observe a hole leading directly to the
middle ol that cocoon, l ne Bole was
made by one of these downy wood
peckers, and through it he has taken
the caterpillar that bad destroyed an
apple. I have long known that this
terrible enemy of our fruits had its en
emy amongst the birds; but until I
found in the stomach of one of these
downy woodpeckers several of these
caterpillars I was at a lutss to know to
which of tbe many birds we were so
much indebted. After longaud patient
watching, X was aoie to identify this
one caught in th act. There is
probably notntng more wonderful In
Nature than the ingenuity of many
blras in nnding tnetr insect prey
This one finds this concealed caterpil
lar not by seeking it that is impossi
ble; not by smell nor by any motion
it is as quiet as a mummy ; neither
by instinct the bird is American, the
insect a foreign importation. ro. lie
finds it by sounding: he taps all scales
alike, but stops to make a hole through
the one under which the worm lies.
Could we have this bird in abundance,
we snouia nave more and better ap
ples and pears ; but, like all the other
woodpeckers, it is mminisnint; in
numbers in proportion as the woods of
the country are cut away. And, sad
to tell. -the few that are left of this
most valuable of all our small birds
are sold in tbe markets ef this city,
ready picited, lor lour cents apiece.
Here are tne Beads or nve cedar-
birds, sometimes called cherry-birds.
n consequence or tne bad name this
bird nas, Irom tne circumstance tnat
it will sometimes take cherries, I have
given it a thorough investigation. I
have killed many ; more than I ever
will again. In the stomach of one I
found several canker-worms, so perfect
as to be readily identified, aud the
heads of enough more to make thirty
six in all. Think of that ! One cedar
bird taking at a single meal thirty-six
cankerwormtv . This insect has for
half a century been a perfect scourge
of the apple orchards of a great part of
New England, and has at times seri
ously threatened other sections of the
country. . This Utile bird is a gross
feeder, and continues in flocks till
near midsummer. 1 Where insects ap
pear in great numbers, as the canker
and other span worms sometimes do,
it will come suddenly in large flocks,
and feed there day after day till the
pest is subdued. And this beautiful
little friend of ours the second rxt
of all the birds is sold by bushels in
tnis marKet ootn laiiand spring; and
no one, not even Berg, to cry shame.
In the stomachs f these cedar-birds
I found nothing but cedar and iuniner
berries the peculiar smell of the tat
ter was very perceptible in the stom
achs of two. The lovers of gin will
probably be enemies of this bird in
future ; but, when it is known that all
the juniper berries used in this coun
try come from Europe, it may mollify
the wrath of the gin drinkers. Here
is tbe head of the American shrike, or
butcher bird. Its stomach was filled
to repletion with a mass of insects,
but so comminuted as to be undistin-
guisbable except by a microscope.
This bird, it is said, will transfix In
sects on thorns or briers, after satisfy'
Hng his present wants, so as to keep
them till hungry.
' Here is a meadow-lack
observe how long and strong tbe beak
la. He has fed -to repletion on a spe
cies of reduvious insect, Like the squash
or pumpkin-bug. In all examinations
of the stomachs of larks I have found
insects only, and nearly always but
one kind of an insect at a time. In
the- early spring they will feed upon
iules, a species of centipede, found

about the roots of grass. In the sum
mer you will find beetles. This bird
apiiears to have an instinct by which
it knows where to find its insect food
by the appearance of the vegetation,
and its beak U formed for such a pur
pose. If shot when feeding, it will be
often found coated with nud. This
oira is msecuverous, except when the
J ground Is covered with snow ; it will
: tiien, from necessity, visit your barns
or stacks for seeds and grain.
And now, please, let vour in-ino-inn-
tions carry you back to the country in
June, on the old farm in the mead
ows. You will see these superb tints
glisteningin the sunbeams. You will

This laager biid is the largest of the
woodpecker family in this part of the
country. It is commonly called a
flicker, sometimes high-holer, because
it makes a hole for its nest high up in
a tree. The stomach of this bird con
tained a red berry like a cranberry,
the seeds of dogwood berries, and
nearly a thousand small ants. From
former examinatious of this bird, I
should judge that ants are the chief
food. I once counted 800, mostly in
the larvfe condition, taken at one
meal. The flesh of this bird is hard
and the smell rank not fit for food:
still it is often in tbe market.
Here are the heads of three cat
birds. Every one knows this bird.
It is everywhere Id Uie country, and
often frequents our larger gardens in
the city. It is a mocking bird, and
very nearly allied to tbe one kept as a
pet. Like your pet mocking bird, it
will eat a great variety of food. These
had been feeding upon berries; one
had eaten purple ones, from a species
of dogwood, until the stomach was
purple through and through. In the
summer, when feeding its young, the
cat bird is often very valuable. Many
times our grape- leaves are destroyed
by caterpillars. One species this last
season was very destructive, they ap
pearing in great numbers very sud
denly, and from their manner of feed
ing are called process) onary caterpil
lars. In a few days the leaves on those
grape-vines will be mere skeletons.
If cat birds have nests in that neigh
borhood, those processions are soon
broken up.
Near where I bought these birds
was another stand, kent hv a woman.
where birds still leas were hanging up
for sale. I asked what thev were.
She said reed-birds. (Reed-birds left
us for the South a month ago.) She
had ten or twelve bunches, with a
dozen each. There were blue-birds,
yellow-birds or finches, creepers, nut
hatches, several downy woodpeckers;
but the greater number were wood
robins and the hermit-thrush, and at
four shillings a dozen. I offered to
buy a dozen if she would let me pick
out tbe different kinds. This seemed
to excite suspicion, and she at once
said: "There were no English spar
rows amongst them." I soon found
it would be impossible for me to get
what I wanted, and left, intending to

cates. The creepers and nut-hatchers
can eat nothing else but insects. The
wood-robins and hermit-thrushes I
had never killed, nor never will.
While their beaks indicate them to be
somewhat omniverous, like the other
tnrusbes, as tney live in the dense
woods, they can do us no harm, even
if they do not live exclusively on in
sects. Any one familiar with the
song of the wood-robin needs no de
scription. That most valuable author
on ornithology, Alexander Wilson,
left directions in his will that he
should be buried under the trees in
tbe burial ground of tbe Swedes'
Church, near Philadelphia, so that Uie
birds could sing over his grave. Of
all the singing-birds, the wood-robin
was the special favorite of Wilson ;
but the songs of the hermit-thrush
were considered by Audubon as still
more exquisite. By common consent
the melody of these two little birds is
unrivaled in this world; and yet a
woman in the Washington Market
coils tnem reed-birds, and sells them
for four shillincs a dozen.
I have for years been investigating
ine iooq oi bints, x wisbed to Know
positively how far they were useful to
us in controlling the insects destruc
tive to our crops. I have killed and
dissected many, so that the informa
tion should be absolute. I shall kill
no more for such a purpose. I have
learned enough to satisfy any one that
the birds are one of the links in the
chain of creation, just as necessary as
any other link for the harmonious
working of the whole. There is check
and countercheck everywhere. Take
out the birds, and insects would soon
preponderate. (Hundreds of instan
ces could be given where the experi
ment lias been tried.)
Now, what can be done to prevent
the wanton destruction of agets so
valuable? In New Jersey we have a
law ample for the protection of the
birds, if enforced. Most other StateR,
I believe, have similar laws. But
your markets show how little. they
are regarded. This Club may do
something. By giving proper infor
mation, we may show the people how
rruch it is to their Interest to spare
ihe birds, and thus create a public sen
timent stronger thaa law for their
protection. True, some of them will
help themselves to cur cherries, and
an oriole will occasionally sip nectar
from our grapes. Not only boys, but
even men, have been known to shoot
them for making so free. Iet me im
plore both men and boys to shoot no
more birds from such a motive. Re
member they work for you seven days
in the week, and charge you nothing
but this occasional indulgence.
The Boston Advertiser, referring to
the efforts of the Free Traders, re
marks that "tto far as tbe signs of the
times bear on this Question, if there is
anything to be trusted in them, the
new vtest and the renovated Mouth
are to be hereafter the strongholds of
the protective system. Both are
stretching out their hands for the
means of building up the various in
dustries witn wmcn tne oiuer states
have been favored, and both are ask
ing for the facilities which every civ
ilized nation under the sun has afford
ed under like circumstances. It is a
fallow field for theorists to work in,
but the fruit it bears will depend not
on the ingenuity, but on the needs of
tne country, which have overruled the
best laid schemes before now."

SCENES IN SPAIN.
SCENES IN SPAIN. Glories of the Pyrenees.-Scenes in
the Zodara Valley—The Basques—
Manners and Customs of an Ancient
People.
A correspondent of the New Tork
Herald has been traveling among the
Pyrenees and visiting Spanish Water
ing Places. From a long letter we
make the following extracts:
PASTORAL SCENES.—ZODAR VALLEY.
A shrill whiitle and the train draw
tip at ittoria station at exactly fiv
A. M. of a September morning. Five
minutes afterwards, having shaken
ourselves a little from the lethargy of
steep on tne platform or tne depot ana
inhaled the morning air, w were
bowled along ut the rate of twenty
two miles to the hour over the pax to
nal vega or tne Zadora, heading di
rect for the bold, tbe seemingly im
passible Pyrenees, the vast alpine
neignis or wmcn are seen in front,
like a mighty bulwark, with clouds
ana mists enveloping their crests.
But before arrivintr at these, mo
ments of pleasure and instruction are
gained by observation of the scenes
in the Zadora valley. The delights of
agricultural and pastoral lire have
been well sung by Virgil and his poet
ical disciples, aud while looking at
the external features of it from the
express carriage one is inclined to be
envious. It is in the cool freshness of
dawn, when the new morning is just
born : when the air seems newly cre
ated ; when the birds pop out of their
nests ana wing tneir way noppingiy
from field to field and make
the welkin melodious with their
warblings ; when the cows rise from
their beds of grass and clover from
under a spreading bough and begin
anew their task of grazing, while
their tails swinging like hugh pendn
lums. testify the pleasure they feel
when the calves and young heifers
are more than usually animated and
scamper over the fair fields, aa fright
ened by the rolling thunder of the
tram, or impatiently seen tne swollen
udders of their patient morhers; when
the fleecy coated bleaters may be seen
at work on the grass, as if intent on
doing a good day's labor, and the lit
tle lambs disport themselves by the
side of the grave old ewe with an
astonishing exuberance of spirit
when the colts, just freed from the
stables and put at liberty in the new
mown fields, afler looking sliyly
right and left to assure themselves of
their freedom, race like wild fire over
the soft glebes, to the astonishment of
themselves and every living creature
near them, and to the intense delight
or the youtnmi passengers who watch
their capers ; when the happy propri
etors of these fields and pastures, these
cows and neirers, ineso sneep, lamb
kins and colts, after scrutinizing their
live stock, turn to the fallow grounds
of their farms witn mattocK on shoul
ders, the stout noble looking husband,
the buxom ruddy-faced dame and
their half dozen virtuous protreny ot
their virtuous selves, look seriously
bent on toil. Perhaps if the noise of
the train did nol prevent it, we might
have beard the hardy swain, like the
the birds on his farm, carol his tegui
diila, or cantinela for the Basque
songs, you must know are aa simple
and as sweet as tbe Roman tibia, or
the lay or the Cretan shepherds and
perhaps we might have heard the
ciear refrain of tbe family. The peas
ant or these regions are early risers.
The faintest streaks of day are the sig
nals for work, and after a slice of
bread and a bowl of soup, the father,
the mother, the boys, the girls, and
even tue imam ana uw waldi dog,
troop to the fields. About eight o'clock,
after about three hours' exercise, they
seek the shade of a tree to eat their
simple breakfast, for which they have
ravenous appetites. Externally, of
course, these domestic scenes repre
sent happiness, illustrate love and
peace kissing each other, but the phil
osopher, world-taught, will think that
ail this, so fair to tne eye, ts bought

or mental pleasures, or all deemed
agreeable by gooa society.
PYRENEES SCENERY.
An unearthly prolonged shriek of
tne locomotive and we are bounding
recklessly through a tunnel tbe first
rock-nnd of the Pyrenees) is being
pierced and after a few minutes'
straining of the eyes in the darkness,
and a patient listening to the tre
mendous uproar of the passage, we
emerge out into the sunlight and
and among the grand wilderness of
the Pyrenees mils, among the granite
deserts, among the huge aspiring rocks
whose summits are bald and hoary
with age. For we are bow in a region
of wonders, of glorious mountains, of
rocky labyrinths and countless peaks,
a thousand prospects, of far reaching
vistas, wonder inspiring, in a country
famous for its alpine grandeur and
the sterling worth of its noble and
loyal Basques. The rock-rind just
pierced through permits ingress
among the Pyrenean giants. Reader
take a good breath, nhale deep and
strong, and see them as they stand
forever and ever there among clouds
and mist and rain and furious tem
pests, but also familiar with sunshine
and summer weather. Leaving the
granite portals, we follow a winding
canon, stately twisting ourselves out
from among the grizzly knot of bald
spurs, which stand like so many sen
tinels guarding the hallowed strong
holds of the ancient Iberians. Along
the iron rails the long, heavy train
soughs its way onward, curving and
winding past an infinitude of project-
lemniy,
ing mountain crags, puffing so!
and ever and anon uttering long
drawn whistles which awake shrill
resonance, while 200 first class heads
are out on each side looking eagerly
out of their 4U0 pairs of eyes to catch
each of the thousand views the Pyren
ees present; to look at long, narrow,
deep valleys, stretching away to im
measurable distances: to gaze upon
ranires of columnar basalt and granite.
and sandstone; upon smooth bould
ery masses, rising skyward ; at series
of rising hills, truncated, fissured, ter
aced; at a mountain shooting abruptly
sky-high, out of sight among the
ocean of clouds, at canons bewilder
ingly crooked, and so on, until we ar
rive at the top of a long grade, many
hundred feet above the sea level.
We are now in the sunshine; the
morninz mist is clear dissovled. the
atmosphere is purer, and the sacred
Kjb oi ail neignis are reveaiea. we
bowl along merrily, cheerily through
score of tunnels, awaking tbe thun
der echoes, making sonorous music
amid crashing uproar; views pass in
rapid succession ; a panorama of un
usual grandeur is untold ; every curve
betrays a new scene; each furlong
opens admiration; full employment
is given to our eyes. Then a range of
knolls and wooded copse, of streams
and cascades, a vista of nature in its
finest, and such is our experience un-
til wa reach the town of Tnloaa. fa- I
mous in battle history. j
From Toloso, seaward, the scenery
from the amorphous, the j
widely wierd and unusual into tbe j
happiest mountain world poets can
imagine. Almost every root ot ground
is felicitously adopted for the comfort,
the pleasure and sustenance of man
and beast. On grassy escarps, in gor
ges, glens, dingles and brakes tbe la
bor of the Iberian paisano is seen.
Olive trees heavy with their dark
brown fruit, corn in every nook, vil
lages on every spur and in every hol
low, and convents lording the whole,
afford pleasant changes from tbe wil
derness of naked rocks we had just
passed. The villages of the Basques
are built in the very best of
locations tbe chosen place will
afford, a hill near a watercourse, wood
ed, shaded, or verdant, Is deemed in

gorge a dozen streamlets pour their
tribute into its lap from the neighbor
ing heights. The country is all a
mass of verdure, and vegetation per
fected to the best of Basque ability,
which is not despicable. Nature
seems to suffocate the earth with tbe
exuberant verdure and plants with
which she clothed slopes and downs
here tbe olive, the arbutus immensely
high, the tulip and the plane, there
tbe gigantic stone pine, targe oors
trees, bending over in fantastic shapes,
with fern growing oa their vast
trunks and mistletoe pendant from
their branches, clumps of enormous
wild aloes ; jasmines sparkling with
their snowy blossoms perfumed the
air, various species of the hedera over
ran the trees, and oppressed them
with their rank luxuriance, often en
tirely concealing their foliage. Be
tween tbe numerous well-ordered,
comfortable villages, are rolling hills,
where grow in abundance the pine,
ash, elm, "mulberry, fir, birch, saxi
frage, oak. chestnut, beech, hemlock
and willow trees. Bits of meadow
land as green as emeralds were dot
ted with fine rich crimson flowers, va
ried occasionally by white and yellow,
and nearly always were enclosed by
planted orcliards of pear, peach, plum,
apple and apricot trees, while between
them, to economize the ground, vines
grew with their branches borne to the
Kround by the weight of the luscious
clusters. Besides these evidences of
Basque prosperity and toil, besides the
many green groves where poets might
love to retire and die, beside the wood
ed mountains which.had the gods seen
had been far more preferred to Olym-
fius, Ureece, Lydia, iJitnynia or bici

Basque shepherd seeks the shade of
an umbrageous tree, and fingering bis

songs. Gothic roundelays, recording
battles of their Gothic fathers, are the
vogue among Basque peasants. His
wife is at his side darning, perhaps,
industriously, working certainly, tor
a Basque woman's hands are never
idle, except while asleep. - Tbe heal

We reach San Sebastian at half-past
nine o'clock a. m., having crossed the
Pyrennees in about four hours. This
city is the capital of the province of
Guipazcoa.one of the three called Leu
provincie vaacongada. It is the
Biarrtiz, the Brighton, the Long
Branch or ripain, excepi that it beats
them all in lovely scenery in its vicini
ty, and thoe who have seen it will
bear me out in this assertion. At the
station, awaiting the arrival of the
train, were representatives or every
condition of people in bpain, not on
the platform outside, for this is not
permissible in Spain, but within.
There were senors. lords of land, and
bank and railway stocks and upho.
nioua titles, such as ttaxe, marquis;
count, chevalier, baron, exceiieiitis-
simos in any auantity. aenontas, or
little lords, thicker than a swarm of
bees: for often the duxe ana excel-
lentissimo were miataxeniy confound
ed with their servants and lacqueys,
in this eeneral title of senorita. Even
old men, with beards as long as that
of the Jew, and young boys, not far
out or their teens, were tnusinciineo.
There were senoras and senoriias
Ivnunc ladleV and between this and
tbe male nomencalture there is a vast
difference. No one would mistake a
senora for a senorita, while a senorita
in Spain is as different from senora as
a slender stick from a barrel. A senora
is always portly, corpulent, of enor
mous girth and heavy stateliness; but
a senorita is a slender yonng lady,
under twenty-five: whether married
or not matters nothing; so long as she
is not corpulent she will be called se
norita. The latter name is also more
endearing: but senora. heavens ! The
dignity and rotundity of a Spanish
lady over twenty-five, is proverbal,
and it would be an idiot who would
familiarly call her senorita.
Crossing the mouth or the L rlmea
over a wooden bridge, and dashing
along the Alameda and the Piaza Con
stitution, we stop at several hotels;
but they are full of guests, for the sea
son is at its highest. If you have a
family you may secure a room at a
hotel ; if you are a bachelor, no, and I
being one and nowise reckless in
ipeecii, my answer in tne negative to
he question brought me a refusal, and
other bournes had to be sought. This
plan was mine, which was more
BC'asa de Huespedes, or guest house,
ana Doara at tne notei. t wo rooms
were secured for fifty cents per diem,
board at a first class hotel $1.20. Mark
that, mark that, fashion-following
reader! Living at the watering plsce
of Spain, $1.70 a day, when every house
is nearly lull or strangers ! A differ
ence very noticeable this is between
the . American And Spanish Long
Branch. i
Among the well dressed Madrilenos
who throng the streets and piazas
must be noticed the Basques, in their
quaint costumes of six centuries ago;
for their bold and arrogant carriage
is not yet spoiled by flimsy French
innovations of dress and manners.
These people, descendants of the an
cient asconese, or Iberians, are, next
to the Moors, the most interesting
people of Spain, and were more so did
some able writers take up the pen in
their behalf. Their sterling attach
ment to their mountains, to their tra
ditional fueros, or privileges, their en
during patriotism and their love of
liberty, their origin, now veiled in
old, old antiquity, causes people to re
gard them with special interest. Be
fore the Romans came to the Peninsula
the Iberians maintained a patriarchal
rule over the entire Pyrenees. Gallicia,
Lusitania and the Asturias, while a
branch of tbe I bene race occupied the
other parts of the Peninsula, Early
Spanish history is particularly inter
esting, because it reconls tbe deeds of
Basque ancestry, which are not much
dissimilar to what their descendants
are capable of to-dav. The answer of
the Iberian chief to the Roman em
bassy for the treachery and pusilla
nimity of Rome when the hosts of
Carthage were before the Saguntine
walls would find hearty ecno among
the Iberian senors of the present ace.
Said he : "Are not you ashamed, ye
Romans, to expect that we oould pre
changes fer your friendship to that of the
Carthagenians T Can yon make us so
soon forget your infidelity towards the
Saguntines, who perished, not through
the valor of the enemy, bnt through
your perfidy? Go seek elsewhere for
allies and friends, where the tragic
fate of Saguntine is unknown." From
the Pyrenees the Goths advanced in
an irresistible wave against the Ro
mans, and finally subjugated the en
tire Peninsula. The Moors, in their
turn, three centuries later, drove back
the Goths to their inaccessible height,
until San Fernando, the Castilian
king, appeared, when the death blow
Moorish supremacy was given. So
from 1,000 years before Christ the Ibe
rian people have retained their moun
tains and their independence. The
Phoenicians, the Romans and Moors
have been conquered by tbeir sire.
Ko wonder, then, that all straneers
look upon the Basques in an interest-
; n l;Kt TU;m .K thai
ine light. Their garb, their accent.
their language, their customs, their
dances, their free, bold carriage afford
materials for study.
The Basque women, likewise, are
special characters for observation. As
much as their husbands appear promi
nent on the busy public places, do the
senoras; ladiesamong their richer sin
ters, they rival the female Sabines in
all the virtues that drew forth Horace's
contmendations ; they are sterling ex
amples of chastity and modesty, do
mestic nousewuery ana matrimonial
fidelity. In spite of the vanity which
I is saiu to be inherent in womankind.
, our Basque women adhere to their
! national dress, and utterly eschew the
countless odds and ends which garnish
the Gaulicized Madrilemts. In their
sombre kirtie and well-fitting bodice,
and their wealth of hair, low, stout
shoes and black stockings, which are
ennobled by the figures which they
encase, the Vasconese are content to
trudge to their well furnished markets
or visit the shrines of their saints.
Their children imbibe with their
mother's milk the noble character of
the Basque matron, and as they grow
up they imitate the beauty and virtues
of their fathers. They are trained to
habits of self-reliance and moral sobri
ety, and thus we see them models of
manly beauty, faithful friends, gener-
ous hosts, simple yet inflexible ob-
servers or their word, ihe young
girls are remarkably handsome, most.
ly of light complexion and gray eyed
small mouthed and extremely grace
ful and animated in their movements.
What surprises strangers about these
maidens is the extreme length of their
hair, which falls down the back in
two long streaming folds. This was
the ancient style of their maternal an
cestors when the nation was named
Iberian, and it is as old as humanity
in the Orient. You may see it on the
friezes of tbe Astic temple and at
Ephesus. Ovid, in his "Metamor
phoses," speaks of it "Candida divid
ua tagente coma." It is the present
custom of the Arab women through
out the land of Egypt and Arabia, of
iuv cjiiau wuiuru ill nit 1 1 cuuuiry,
and who will not dare say it is much
more graceful and becoming than the
hideous enormities fathered by French
rteur,twhich look like ugly tumors?
Among tne visitors at ban isebastian
are many French ladies from Paris.
Bordeaux, Bayonne and Biarritz ; but
tnougn their eyes are black ana num
ber many brunettes, yet the Spanish
demoiselle may be picked out easily,
for the French stare, but tbe Spanish
are stared at; tbe French rock, Span-
isn tsenoritas walx; tbe r rench are all
pretty and young looking ; the Span
ish are either beautiful or ugly, and
are young or old ; the French are al
ways affecting other character than
their own ; the Spanish seldom are
out inemseives ; tbe Spanish eyes are
deep, yet frank and decent : but. then.
what profundity immeasurable in a
j-rencu lady's eyes; you may retlect
yourself and ages of futurity therein.
Ask a Question of a Spanish lady and
she will answer "yes" or "no" imme
diately. Ask one of a French woman
and I am told it is "ves" always. A
Spanish girl looks towards marriage
as a supreme happiness as soon as she
is out other teens; but a trench lady
regards marriage as a necessity, hate-
ioi to ininK or; would prefer love al
ways. A Spanish girl is in love only
to thirty years old, but a French wo
man is in love from the cradle to old
age. A Spanish girl will wait a year
or two lor ner lover, out at rench wo
man can't wait a minute. A Spanish
girl dresses to please her husband and
most intimate friends, but a French
woman aresses- to win universal ad
miration prefers, in fact, the admira
tion of strangers. A Spanish eirl
smiles and laughs only when she is
pleased, but a French girl quivers
with laughter; her whole body is in a
state oi risibility. The Spanish wo
men dance, but a French woman
jumps and hops ; the Spanish sing,
out the French shriek. To conclude,
the French girl is an artist, but the
Spanish girl is simply a woman. So
say those who know, and it is my firm
belief much of it is true.
OLD RIVERS IN ARIZONA.
The Oldest Settled Part of America—
New and Singular Discoveries.
Caxt Vikde, Akizoxa Territory, )
September 20. 19.
On Satnrrlatr Inaf. tha lQtb not .
small party from this post visited' a
piace on weaver i reeK, about eight
miles distant.
The well is about one hundred yards
back from the stream nnon a htu-h I
isolated mesa, is about one hundred
and twenty-five yards in width, and
about one hundred feet down to the
water, which is surrounded bv ier-
penuicutar wans oi rocK.
the water is very clear, of a light
green or bluish color, and is very
strongly impregnated with lime, sul-
pnur, sous, iron, anu otner minerals.
It has no visible inlet, but itsontlet is
by a subterranean passage at a point
nearest Beaver Creek, into which it
empties a large volume of water.
The wnoie country between the
"Sierre Prieto" and the "Moyallon"
ranges of mountains is a limestone
formation and full of caverns, tome of
which are quite extensive, as was
shown by the result of the day's ex
plorations. All along the bluffs of the Rio Verde
and Beaver creek, wherever these
caves exist, they are found to have
been the dwelling places of a race of
people wnicn nas long since passed
away, and about which not even my
thology tells a tale; but it is generally
supposed that they are of a very an
cient character, as old and probably
older than the Aztecs of Mexico.
It is certain that the present abori
ginal occupants of the territory are
of a different race altogether, and from
their fierce and warlike character it
is supposed that they are the destroy
ers of this Industrious agricultural
people, which they seem to have
been, and who certainly were deserv
ing of a better fate.
The object of the expedition was to
explore the caves and ruins by which
the place is surrounded, and ascertain
if possible, the depth of water in the
well. We took with us a rubber bag
which was inflated and launched.
Dr. W. II. Smith (post surgeon) and
myself undertook to make the sound
ings, which we did in a very satisfac
tory manner, but with a great deal of
labor and at imminent peril, owing to
a thick growth of water plants which
floated upon the surface, and extend- j
ed some twenty feet from shore,, and :
through which it was next to an im-:
possibility to swim; by great exer-j
tions the difficulty was overcome, and j
the soundings made, which in the
deepest place was eleven fathoms.
Aiouna tne well were massive walls
!
of masonry, npon which time had i
such fearful havoc that it was
almost impossible to tell anything of j
weir inner construction; but it ts cer-
tain that they were intended as much
lor aetense as for habitation. They
were like the feudal castles of old
their fortifications and their homes.
All around the well in the high
walls were caves which, too, had only
been occupied, aud, from their shell-;
ered position, all remain nearly as
perfect to-day as they were when j
probably hundreds of;
years ago. The openings are built up :
with masonry, through which arej
left small entrances and loopholes for
protection. The walls overheat! are
Blackened with the smoke of their
fires, now so old that it will not rub I
' . . it i 1
off. The plastered wans snow toe"
prints of their hands as plainly as if
they were made yesterday. Corncobs,
pieces of goards, mescal and seeds are
found in the plaster, which is conclu
sive proof that they were an agricul
tural people and for a similar reason
of
it is believed that they were a nMi-i
factoring people, aa a good article of
fclnth and iJwm of common tu ino

which were preserved in the same
manner.
To-day we discovered a new cave
which no white man had ever seen be
fore ; it was evidently the Gibralter
of this ancient city the name of
which to us is forever lost. Upon en
tering the great front room, in every
direction were seen little rooms where
niches in the rocks had been built up
with loopholed walls, formiog, as it
were, counterscarp galleries, as inte
rior lines of defense, impregnable to
any enemy except starvation. Lead
ing from here are numerous passages
which have liot yet been explored.
One passage led down into a great
chamber, at the lower end of which a
stream of water vas found, evidently
a branch to the outlet to the well.
Owing to the poorly improvised torch
that we had, it was not deemed pru
dent to explore any of the passages
leading from this room.
These caves are a strange place to
live in; some of them are up almost
perpendicular walls of rock to a con
siderable height. And under extreme
difficulties, with an incredible amount
of labor, they have carried great rocks,
immense timbers, and other building
material, where it is almost impossi
ble for a man to go.
Kemains of granenes ana waterworis.9
lies, are
of this
Now it must not be supposed that
the entire population were living in
these caves, for in every direction that
you may go in this territory and West
ern New Mexico, ruins of towns are
every where to be seen, in every val
ley, on every mesa, and on nearly all
small eminences are remains of forts
which they have built for protection
against some common enemy which
eventually exterminated them.
Stone, metals upon which they
ground their corn, acorns, and mes
quit beans, pieces of broken oilas in
which they cooked their food, and
pieces of pottery, painted and glazed.
are found everywhere. It seems as if
every inhabited place teamed with,
life, and that this country was once as
densely populated as any of the East
ern States of the Union are to-day.
The most perfect of any of these
ruins, and which is in tbe best state
of preservation, is in a cave on Bea
ver Creek, about one mile and a ha'f
from Camp Verde. It is in a perpen
dicular wall of rock between two and
three hundred feet high; the lower
entrance is over one hundred feet
above the valley below. It is four sto
ries in height, and, like all of tbe
others, has its interior lines of defense.
The floors are elaborately constructed
of small timbers covered with straight
sticks placed closely together, and
upon this is placed tbe cement for
flooring, usually six inches thick.
The upper floors seem to have been
constructed entirely for defense. A
crenated wall breast high overhangs
the whole structure, from which can
be seen theentiresurroundingcountry
and from its giddy height a stone can
be thrown into the river, one hundred
and fifty feet below.
The excellent state of 'preservation
of the wood and materials used in
these caves is due to their sheltered
position, and the dry, hot climate of
the country. Were it not for this,
nothing would have been known of
these people, as everything perishable
which has been used in the construc
tion of these houses has decayed
wherever it has been exposed to the
weather.
Much has been said of these ruins.
and many speculations have been
made aa to the buildings, but it is all
speculation, as no one knows who
tney were. A volume might be writ
ten on the subject and still leave it
unfinished.
After spending the whole day at
tne well and among its caves and ru
ins, we returned at night to the post,
feeling satisfied that the day had been
one of profit as well as pleasure. E

The Lord as Comforter of Mankind—
Sermon by the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher.
Prior to the usual services yesterday
five new members were received into
the church, two being baptized. The
Rev. Mr. Beecher took his text from
the Second Epistla of St. Paul to the
Thessalonians, ii, 16: "Now, our
Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God.
even our Father, which hath loved us
and hath given us everlasting conso
lation and good hope through grace."
The reverend gentleman proceeded to
show that God should ever be regarded
as the great comforter of mankind.
the great sympathizer with humanity,
rather than a tyrant or a severe judge.
To be sure. God was the vindicator
of truth. He would not spare the
guilty, for He was the great consum
ing hre. But if He were severe it was
not gratifying to Him to be so. His
severity was intended as a chastise
ment, not for destruction. But men
must look up to God as He was rep
resented in the words of tbe text, the
mighty and all powerful source of
consolation. If we were left in this
world to fight our own battles alone,
if we were placed in the midst of na
tural laws only, and left to obey them
as best we could, the moral standard
of life would be considerably lowered. '
The old pagan doctrines- of Greece
and Rome represented nature as a
prison, while mankind was the pris
oner and God the jailer, who affec
tionately deposited the bread and
water at the door in order that it
might not perish. Christian life was
ordained to confer comfort in 'our
struggles through this world. The
reaciier pointed out the many troub
es to which man was subjected by
his own conscience in his passage
throueh life, showing that notwith
standing all the fears, sorrows and
annoyances it might give rise to, God
was still tne comforter, even in tne
struggle with conscience. In all the
distractions which come up in do
mestic life, in our secular life, the
whole economy of labor, ill health,
straitening circumstances, misunder
standings and misapprehensions, God
was tbe great power to appeal to for
comfort. The reverend gentleman
dilated at some length upon the great
encouragement, hope and cheerful
ness to be derived from regarding God
in the proper view not with fear or
misgivings, not with terror or despair,
but as the great sympathizer with
man, as the everlasting source of
grace.
At the conclusion of the sermon
the communion service was celebra
ted, the number of participants being
exceedingly large. V. Y. Herald.
