are happy enough in their own way.
There is no peal wealth in the country,
and in consequence, no suierl establishments
are kept up. The Lest jieople live quito
simply, though servants are kept to us great
an extent as in the United States, if not to a
greater. Xo matter how many children may
lie in a family each must have its own nurso

There is some difVert nee naturally lietween
the two typos; the ili; milter of Spaniards,
or deseondents of Spaniards, and tho great
gre.it great-grandilauglit' rs of tho mighty
Aztec warrior chiefs. A difference, chielly
of externals, of height, complexion, figure.
Hut all nro alike in the gentleness of hearing,
the quiet dignity that is so attractive.
The custom of chaperons exists of course,
hut less rigorously than in the United States.
It is hardly nece.-sary for mamma or mam
ma's representative to "glare" upon the young
men. when the girls are i-o self-protected.
Indeed at tho very last ball at tho palace I
saw a young couple quito by themselves all
through supper. They were not as yet lx
trothed, but the love making was a most in
teresting and tender little comedy for one
watching it out ot the corner of his eye, so to
speak. The Honduranians even those fore
most in society are essentially an innocent
minded jieople. Immorality is hardly known.
There are no scandals. The newspapers aro
.lean sheets, l'erhaps that is one reason.
Tho young men are steady, as a rule. Dissi
pation is hardly known. The greatest horror
was felt and expressed concerning an inci
dent of a few nights since, when some one,
who had looked too olten on tho w ino when
it was red, created a slight disturbance at
tho theatre and was summarily ejected. Ho
was a stronger, however.
The president sets the example of a truo
gentleman. He might in some respects bo
likened to the lamented Chester Arthur. It
is a matter of regret to many that tho lady
of tho palace, the Senora Itograu, is uniiblo
to sjK'iid more tiuient tlie capital. Sho is a
very accomplished wonuri speaking tlvo
languages. Hut she is also ,i most devoted
mother, with several youis;, children, and is
not over strong plnsioally. This charming
woman seiids the mot of her time nt tho
country seat of the family, at Santa Harlxti-a
not far from the shore of a beautiful lake.

rreviut Ion of Diphtheria.
Curative treatment of diphtheria is admits
tedly so unreliable that the medical profes
sion listens with interest to every suggestion
of preventing this terrible disease. At a re
cent meeting' of the New York Academy of
Medicine this subject formed the staple of tho
evening's discussion. Following is a resumo
of the principal iceoiiiiucnditioii-.: In a city
with densely populated districts tliesu-iervis-ion
of plumbing and the erection of nir
shafts in tenements are useful supplementary
sanitary measures against diphtheria, and
physicians should instruct tho people in such
matters as often as opportunity presents.
Overheating of school rooms and dwellings
should bo most emphatically denounced us
dangerous.
Isolation of the sick should ho oxplaincd
nnd insisted uion. The management of iso
lation houses for the poor bliould lo such as
to roadilj gam their confidence. Knlarged
tonsils should be reduced. Carious teeth
should bo removed or filled promptly; thofco
of the poor therefor should lie small, or noth
ing. Parents should tusoet their children's
mouths und throats utch day before they go
to school. Children should learn to garglo at
an early age. Children Millering from ap
parently simple sore throat should not attend
school "until well. Kiing ujkiii tho lij
should bo forbidden. Children old enough to
garglo should lie taught to do so after each
meal with a weuk solution of un antiseptic
chemical, nnd in young children a fow drops
should bo dropixxl into the uoutnls. Chicago

, chief of the veteran corps, Washington
i Artillery Camp, went out with the fa
t inous battalion in IStil as Captain of the
fourth company, lie was the tirst ullicct
wounded at the battle of Hull Hun.
After serving gallantly in several en
gagements he was promoted to M.ijor
' ship of the battalion, and was in eom
innnd at the surrender at ApvomaUox.
1 l'aul Conrad. A truo representative
of "le i-ieit.e temp" is found in l'aul
Conrad, a delegate from Camp Henry,
St. l'aul. He is a purely typical Louisi
' anian. With an ancestry as old as tho
country, he combines in himself every
essential feature of the old-time Creole,
with the progressive characteristics ol
the present age.
Horn in this city on December 31, 1S40,
of native parentage, he, with many
whose names will ever live in the his
tory of the State, attended the public
school of this city.
At an early age the death of his father
left him to millet Mie world with but lit
tle help, save the encouraging and wise
counsels of a brave mother, and deter
mined his early embarkation in the va
rying anil stern actualities of life.
" lie began a commercial career when
barely lf years of ago in the wholesale
grocery business, and aftewards engaged
in the cotton business
The war breaking out when he was
about 20 years of age, he joined the
Chasseurs a Pied, one of the first com
mands to leave this city for the then seat
of war, Pensacola, in April, ISiU.
His career as a soldier was conspicuous
for his personal daring and bravery, not
unmixed with a fair share of romance,
and paying the x unity of his venture
some spirit, he was three times badly
wounded, once in front of Richmond, at
the battle of Fra.ier Farm, June ;i0,
IStil, where he was appointed color
hearer of his battalion on the field by
the Colonel commanding. The Hag thus
entrusted to him, which he carried to
the end of the war, is the same battle
Hag which was presented to St. Pain's
liattalion by General Longstreet to com
memorate their desperate charge at
Seven Pines, and which was after the
surrender at Appomattox taken to n
place of safety in Richmond.
Alxiut !S7!)"a meeting of the veterans
of the old command delegated Mr. Con
rad to go to Richmond and secure the
battered war emblem, which he did, and
after reporting to his old comradew in
.rms he delivered the flag into tho cus
tody of the Association of the Army of
isot'thern Virginia, which has unfurled
it in Memorial Hall, where it now hangs,
a silent and eloquent reminder of thoso
troublous times which brought it into ex
istence. At Sharpsburg (or Antietam) Septem
ber If), 18(51, he was a second time
wounded, ami fell into the hands of the
Federals. After being exchanged and
before thoroughly recuperated from his
disabling wounds, we find him again in
the field of active duty with his com
mand in and about the historical Rlack
water, Southampton county, Va., and at
the battle of Hellefield ho was again
wounded.
Surrendering with the last forlorn
hope, after four yearsand several months
of actual active service, ho resumed his
duties of citiy.enship to his native State,
relapsing into thoso peaceful pursuits in
which he could servo his people most
beneficially. In 18(57 he was elected As
sistant Secretary of the Finance Com
mittee of the City Council, where his
intelligent administration of the otlice
soon ptomoted him to the Secretaryship.
With varying successes to himself
financially he thereafter engaged in va
rious commercial enterprises, until of
late years ho acquired n home in tho
town of Waveland. adjoining Hay St.
Louis, Miss., where his progressive spirit
and enlightened enterprise were soon
recognized, and he was elected and is
still serving as a Councilman of that cor
poration. His suggestions of progress
were soon adopted by his new constitu
ents, and some time ago he was called up
on to servo as President of the Gulf Coast
Ice and Manufacturing Company, which
is now ndbrding such material comforts
to tho denizens of that lively little town.
Many years ago he accepted a s lhal
tern position with tho Louisiana StuU
Companv, where his worth was
soon recognized, and his promotion to
tho internal direction of his odico afl'airs
gradually followed, and which upon the
death of their Into President, Dr. M. A.
Dauphin, culminated in his being chosen
President of that vast institution which
oilico ho now holds with credit to himself
nnd advantage to the company.
llu is also a Director in tho Cherokee
Iron Manufacturing Company of Rusk,
Tex., which has sought tho Wnelitof his
advice and experience, and altogether he
finds his time well taken up with the
administration of the n I lairs of others.
Yet with hia multifarious duties he re
mains what he ever was, a truo and loyal
friend nnd safe adviser, ono upon whom
none who know him ever hesitate to en
truet their most Eccrot confidences.
His peculiar attributes aro his un
swerving devotion to duty, his tindoviat
ing punctuality nnd his loyalty to any
cause ho may espouse. New Orleans

Truck Farming- Near
Large Cities.
HOW IT PAYS BIG MONEY.
Where Land is Plowed in Summer a
Drag- Should Fallow Closely
After the Plow.
"If I could only get a cottier on tho
truck mrnis of this country," said a New
York marketman w ith a turn fur statis
tics. "1 wouldn't trade jobs with Van
derbilt or Gould if tliev'd roll Ixith their
jobs into one. What do you thi.'ik the
truck farmers pulled out of us dealers
here and there about the country and
carried home with them the last year?
Onlv a little more than seventv-six mil
lion" and a half. That's all! Outofthnt
thev had to pay their help, of course.,
which cost 'ein'soniething like $!1 iHH),
0)0, for they hire l!17,000 men, to say
nothing of tlie 10.000 women and 15,000
liovs that help out with the work. And
their seeds knocked about a million and
a half more out of the proceeds, and
they had to put up a trifle of fl0,00il,000
for lertilizers. Hut after taking all that
out they had a u'ood round $50,000.00 Ho
put away in the sock for a rainy day.
Yes; you give me a corner on the truck
farins of tlie country ami yon can have
all that Gould ami Vanilerbilt make, if
you want it.
"Speaking about truck farming and,
by tlie w ay, there are over half a million
acres of good land in the country that
don't do anything else but raise garden
and Hold truck for markets with a capi
tal invested of over $100,000,000, and a
call on 7(1,000 hor.-es and mules, and
alKitit $11,000,000 worth of implements to
help do the work where do you sup
pose all of these nice, bright, green
plums and tempting cucumbers you see
in tho big restaurants and the swell
fruit-store windows in the spring, before
tlie snow is gone, and for which you
have to put down a good half dollar be
fore you can get one where do you sup
posed hey come from? I knew you'd say
Hermudu, or some other place down
South. Hut you're way oil". These
earlv cucumbers come from a climate
about as near like Dermuda as Calilor
nia is like Minnesota. These cucum
bers conio from New Fngland, from tho
cold and storm-tossed coast of Maine and
Massachusetts, and even from Now
Hampshire. The growers of cucumbers
in New England get more out of an aero
of land than the growers of any other
crop in this or anv other eountrv. Thev
think nothing of netting $2 000
for an acre of cucumbers, but they also
have -72 acres that they grow them on.
Of course you will understand that theso
cucumbers are not grown outdoois.
They aro tho products of tho
green-houses, and New Knglnnd is tho
only truck-growing district where the
raising of cucuniliers in this way has
been made a successful and standard
branch of the business. In other parts
of the country the cucumber crop aver
ages a net profit of from $2(5 to $25 ) an
acre, the latter ligure being made in
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas;
but we never get any of theircucuinbers
here. New England heads all other
vegetable-growing districts in return for
all of her truck products, the least sho
makes being $100 an acre on watermel
ons, which is $20 more an acre than the
highest price Southern watermelon
growers receive for their crop. As a
matter of fact, tho Southern watermelon-grower
thinks he is doing very
well if he can got a net price of $150 a
carload for his crop, and a car will hold
tho yield of three acres. New England
gets nearly $100 more an acre for her
celery crop than tho crack Michigan
celery-growers get for theirs. In tho
matter of tomatoes New England linds
no difficulty in selling her crop for $.'500
nn acre, the next highest price lcing
paid to New Jersey and Long Island,
whoso tomato farmers get an average of
$1(5') an aero for their crop. Hut it is
curious that cold New England should
lead the country on early vegetables,
isn't it?"
Knrl Sli'lio; IteiuiH.
There aro soino crops which farmers
at a distance from market can grow with
protit if they have rich, early land, cap
able of bringing the crop forward rapid
ly. Henna to be used green require rici
land. It can hardly ho made too rich
for them, the warmth from heavy ma
nuring carrying them nlong while tho
weather is still much too cold for beans
not thus cared for to make any growth.
The first string beans in ma'rkot this
year are a ready sale at $4 per bushel, or
more commonly $2 for a market basket
ful. The best variety is Golden Wax, it
being productive, and its golden-colored
pods lieing always salable. Two or
more pickings can be made, and the
land cleared in time to plant turnips or
late cabbage. After the price gets low.
a it does later in the seimon, it is loo
bulky a ciop to bear long carriage.
I) rims; I hi; After Plowlnir.
In all cases whore the land is plowed
in summer a drag or harrow should fol
low closely after tho plow to smooth the
surface. Early in spring an excess of
moisture in the soil is common, and
then to have rough furrows to dry out
the titipcrlliious moisture more quickly
in an advantage. Hut even then har
rowing the furrows down should he done
before they got very dry. In summer,
where sod especinlly is plowed under,
the honied air under the furrow often
retards fermentation, nnd if the plowed
land is left long without drugging it may
Imhyiimv too dry for seedd to germinate in
it. A very light rain honks down bettor
