The Important K«|p ot AntiipiitieM which tins
.lm.t Taken Place at Rome.
'London Times.]
The total realized by the Cast el Ian i collec-
tion ot Rome, the >ale of which occupied
twenty-one days, was about £48,000, but the
total would have been much larger if thirty of
the most valuable articles had not been with-
drawn, in consequence of the high-banded pro-
ceedings of the Italian minister of public edu-
cation. The Italian government was anxious
to buy the whole collection, as a nucleus of a
new museum similar to that at South Ken
sington, but not having the necessary funds,
the minister, basing his action upon a papal
decree of 18:20, claimed the right of pre-emption
(prelazione) over thirty of the choicest articles.
The h irs of Signor Castelluuiprotested against
the legality of this and commenced an action
in the civil courts, but as this was not likely to
be decided for some months it was resolved to
proceed with the sale of the other articles in
the catalogue. The sale accordingly com
menc d at the time appointed, iu the Palazzo
Castallani, transformed for the time into an
auction mart, the sale of the antiquities ha\-
ing attracted Mr. N wton, from the ritish
museum, Mr. Fortnum. from South Kensigton,
Mr. Frohner, the late conservator of the
Louvre, who had prepared the catalogue, and
representatives of the Berlin and Lyons
museums. The articles on which the govern
ment had laid an embargo were mostly antiqui-
ties. so that the value of this part of the collec-
tion was appreciably lessened, but several of
the lots fetched very high prices. A vase
found in the Santa Maria church at Capua,
and beautifully painted in various colors
fetched £1000; and a Greek mirror from Co-
rinth, with bronze frame and figures of Venus
and Cupid, £154* a small statuette of an
Etruscan warvior, little more than four inches
in height, t'141; and a Diana in terra cotta, of
a period little later than that of Pheidias,
t"^80. The terra cottas which the late Signor
Castellani had purchased in Asia Minor real-
ized the highest prices ever known, a figure
of Victory, holding a gilt crown an.I a
bouquet of flowers, being sold for t'248,
and a Venus recumbent for £240. The gold
and silver ornaments were also sold for very
high prices. The poinard in copper gilt which
Marietta Pasha found incased in the Egyptian
king Auiasis. and which was for some time the
property of Prince Jerome Napoleon, fetched
£#00: a single earring, the fellow of
which is the property of the Baron
Edmoiid de Rothschild, of the old
Greek style, £652; an Etruscan bracelet, of
parti-colored glass, with a gold clasp, £160;
two rings engraved with the bust of a woman
and a man, £374 and a marble of an Amazon
attributed in the catalogue to the school of
Polycletus, £1080. The sale of the Venice
giass, tiie, Italian and Oriental earthenware,
the enamels.tapestries,renaissance bronzes.etc.,
attracted many more people, and three glasses
by Murano brought £320 apiece. A vase in
Gubbio earthenware, attributed to Giorgio
Andreoli. was sold for £600; a cup of the same
kind for £668; a Pesarobowl for £324; another
from Urbiuo for £180, and a Caffagiolo cup
for £242; a dish in Persian earthenware made
£240; a replica upon a small scale of the
famous fountain of Giovanni de Bologna,
£292; an eleventh century bass relief in ivory,
repiesenting Christ ami one of the apostles
surrounded by angels, £172; a powder flask
of the sixteenth century, £156; a shrine made
in the shape of a house and decorated with
Limoges enamels of the thirteenth century,
£828; and another larger one by Raphael
Gramaldi £1020,being purchased for the Sotuh
Kensington museum. The antique bronzes
and other objects which, it was hoped, would
have < ome to London, are to be sold in Paris.

Amusing stories begin to be told of the
horror with which the puritanical delegates
of the Transvaal witnessed some of the social
customs of France, during the recent sojourn
in Paris. The Boer ladies appeared at every
entertainment with dresses closed up to the
neck, and when tue men were introduced to
the fashionable and low-necked beauties of
Paris they steadily, when 'addressing them,
looked over their heads. When they were at
the opera they turned away their eyes when
the ballet came on.

The New York society which calls itself the
Association for the Protection oC Fish and
Game, aud exists only to fish and kill beasts
and birds, is finding it hard work to get
enough pigeons for its annual shooting

fhe Plain Truth About n Grently •• Boomed"
Country.
1 Correspondence Brool l rn Union.]
Abu^uerqve, X. M., May 1. 1884. —The
tourist reclining in a Pullman police car con
at best get but a superficial knowledge of this
wonderful country and its peculiar people.
One must of necessity depend largely upon in-
formation coming from sources in which self-
interest predominates, and things are often
given the couleur derose that upon investiga-
tion will not bear the light of plain , unvar-
nished truth.
New Mexico has been fearfully overrated.
Giant monopolies have sung again ami again
the praises of the fertile valley of the Ilio
Grande—the immense mineral deposits of its
mountains, its unequaled ranges for cattle.
They have brought out impecunious editors of
country newspapers free of charge, who have
lieen dined nnd wined, so that upon their re-
turn to their respective sanctums they have
Hooded theii columns with gush about
tins wonderful eldoradoof the far West, until
the casual reader is wrought up to such a state
of enthusiasm that many sell their farms or
all of their possessions, leave a life of remu-
nerative labor, and push 011 to bright visions-
of nuggets in the hillsides, as pictured so vivid-
ly by that monumental monopoly of the nine-
teenth century, only to find that "the fertile
valley of the Itio Grande " is for the most part
a vast sandy desert, the only land fit for graz
ing purnosesjbeing swallowed up by enormous
grants, its rivers muddy, turbulent streams,
which one may jump across in the rainy sea-
son, and dry as a magazine and covered with
a thick alkaline coatiug,resembling a January
frost, the balance of the year.
Take a long look at the Queen city of the
plains"—the incomparable Denver, ye tour
ists, for 110 more in your journey southward
shall your eyes behold such evidences of well-
earned thrift; such monuments of architectur-
al skill and lofty spires piercing the sky; for
after leaving Trinidad, with few exceptions,
abject squalor and contented poverty meet the
eye.
True, after leaving Ratoou and following
the course of the Rio Colorado, one may see
vast herds of cattle grazing, and large herds
of antelope bounding over the plains in con-
scious security, but the very cream of thai
section h absorbed V)}' the Maxwell land grant,
extending, as it does, sixty miles to the south-
ward, and away to Cimmaron, at the base of
the Taos mountains on the west.
This grant is now iu litigation, and should
the Supreme* Court decide iu favor of the
holders, these cattlemen will have to vamose,
or pay such rents as w ill materially lessen the
profits of that now lucrative business.
Then the j ernicious practice of fencing up
the streams by large capitalists n-akes irriga-
tion impossiljJe, thus rendering the arid land
l a k of them of no practical value except to
themselves.
The old ditty—
This land of ours is broad enough, dot 'l be alarmed;
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to buy Ui all a iai tn
will have become a grim satire when the
tide of immigration shall swell our population
from fifty to nn« hundred millions of souls.
Our legislators lie back at then ease and eou-
teinplat > the vast tracts of unoccupied land
the millions of square miles on the vast plains
w st of Omaha, and compute how long it will
take for the actual settler to absorb them all.
at the rate of a quarter section each (or 160
acres). Nine-tenths of our population east, of
the Missouri river do not realize the conditions
of this climate; that except in the rainy sea
son (July and August) this land, aside from
that contiguous to streams, where irrigation
is practicable, is virtually a vast, arid desert
aud, with the streams fenced, of no earthly
use for man or beast.
The artesian wells which have been success
fully bored iu Denver, piercing the great un
dereurrent which flows from the great Rocky
mountaiu range 011 the west, seem to be a
solution of the problem in Colorado, and the
plains that now stretch their billowy wastes
away to the fastward may nnd will 1111
doubtedly, in the near future, blossom witl
beautifui farms and cultivated orchards. It
may be that the arid deserts of New Mexico
may !>e redeemed in this manner, but as yet
nothing has been done in that direction, and
the railway company has, in many cases, tc
pump its water troin little streams two miles
away into its supply tanks.
At this writing, at a place called Engle,
near San Marcial, there is a California com
pany whose aim it is to obtain control of
about 30,000 acres of land, aud whose modu
operandi is to build a cabin on the four cor
tiers of each section of land, and hire four men
at |3') pei month to live upon ond improve it
by (jigging irrigating ditches, wells, etc. The
articles of agreement state " when the parties
shall have lived thereon for the period of six
tronths, they shall deed the land thus pre-
einted back to the company for a considera
tion of *150 each additional."
Thus a few capitalists obtain possession of
about forty square miles of the best land in
the Territory at a cost of S0000, us the improve-
ments will pay the wages.
From Rattoon to Las Vegas is one uninter-
1 upted stretch of rolling plain and sandy des-
ert; only two towns of any importance dot the
w hole distance of 110 miles—Springer, a great
cattle center, and Wagon Mound. Six miles
from Rattoon stands a huge frame building,
now fast going to decay, aud known as the
haunted house at Otero. Its wide veranda*
and roomy hallways, its large adobe corrals
and spacious outbuildings give it the appear
auce of having once been quite an extensive
hostelry, which indeed it was some twelve
years ago. Many a thirsty traveler in the
overland stage days has regaled himself at
its capacious bar, and if tradition be true,
some have never left it alive. Solitary and
alone it stands on the wide prairie; not a hut
or cabin for miles, as far as the eye can
roach, while adjacent to it is a little
mound upon which are nameless graves 01
persons said to have bitten the dust there.
Being, however, in blissful ignorance at this
time of its ghastly legends, and as the shades
of night were deepening, we determined to
camp there until morning, and accordingly
built a lire in one of the broad fireplaces,
spread our blankets and prepared to " woo the
balmy." No'a sound disturbed our slumbers
until at a late hour we were awakened by the
clanging of window shutters, and thiukiug
hat a high wind had arisen we paid 110 atten-
tion to it until the noise became so great th.it
I determined to try ana remedy it by closing
the shutters. To my amazement I found there
was not a window or door in the wdiole house
and the night was calm and serene. Not a
sound broke the stillness except the how l of an
occasional coyote upon the distant prairie.
Thinking that I had been dreaming I returned
to my blankets. The fire was smouldering in
the hearth and gave out only a fitful light. 1
had hardly lain down lie fore the infernal
racket begua again, and in addition to the
banging ol windows, WLere windows were not,
steps could be heard upon the wide staircases
aud along the corridors. It became unbear
able, and we seized our revolvers and fired
into the empty space. The noise ceased; but
upon our lying down again b -came louder than
ever, and added to it the sound of some one
splitting wood in the yard. We were de-
termined to fathom * the mystery, and
descended to the yard, but there was 110 one
there and no wood to split. It may be' imag-
ined that we did not sleep again that night,
and if any one < an account for the phenome-
non heard by two men in their sober senses I
can not.
At Springer one first meets with the ver-
itable " ba-ad man,v rejoicing in the eupho-
nious cognomen of "Tarrantula Bill," " Centi-
ped Jack." "Rattlesnake Joe," etc., dressed
in fringed buckskin pantaloons, wide som-
l)i eio, cavalry loots and jingling spurs, waist
ornamented with a cartridge belt, from which
protrudes two six-shooters and a bowie knife,
formidable looking objects to the "tender-
foot," a sort of a walking-arsenal, as it were,
but harmless as a rule in.less well primed with
1 tarantula juice."
Passing Las Vegas with its hot springs,
which have been so often described for their
healing aud medicinal qualities, and its Mon-
tezuma hotel, its old aud new towns divided
by the Rio Gallinas, w-e now come to the veri-
table land of the Greasers and "chile colorow."1
If we have left a comparative desert In hind
us we come upon a superlative one now on our
w ay to Santa Fe. Grim, gaunt jeaks rise 110
from the rolling desert of sand and sage brush.
Starvation peak, of historic fame, looms up
ghastly and barren. Two huge crosses mark
the spot at its summit where over l(Mj Mexi-
cans were besieged and starved to death by
the bloodthirsty Apaches.
We pass the ancient towns of Fan Jose and
San Miguel, and nightfall briugs us to the
only w hite settlement, on the road thus far—
Kingman. Although a place of 110 commer-
cial importance, consisting of a railway depot,
section-house, water-tank, and that necessary
adjunct of all Mexican towns, a saloon— (aud
I blush to say of Colorado also, except Col-
orad Springs, that beautiful gem which nestles
at t'ie foot of Pike's Peak, where the monster
rum has been successfully com batted, at least
to all outward appearance, for not a salodn
exist* there, nor a dance hall to mar its fair
beauty uor make night hideous with shameless
deba ichery. Not so New Mexico—a town's
impo tanco is usually gauged by tl e uurnber
of sal ions it can maintiin).
Situ 1 ted at the eastern slope of the Glo-
rietta range of mouutains, an offshoot of the
Sangre del Christo range, protected by a high
mesa from the fierce sand-storms and wind
blasts which sweep in from the great desert on
the south—'^eautiful natural gruves of piuon
and cedar sloping gradually dow n to the Rio
Peco<; the Taos range sloping gently upward
from its eastern bank until culminating in its
snow-capped peaks—the whole forming a
landscape picturesque in the extreme.
Within a rcdius of twenty miles of this
point is perhaps the most historic ground
upon this continent. It even aspires and its
natives firmly believe it to have been the
birthplace of Montezuma. A fire is said to
have been kept alive in these mountains since
the day of his death by descendants of that
strange people, the Aztecs, iu anticipation of
his promised return. Legends exist of mines
of fabulous wealth being covered up and con-
cealed within the fastness of the mountain
wilderness. Precious metals were regarded
by this ancient race as a direct gift from the
Almighty, and woe to him who permitted a
mine to be touched and its treasures deliled by
sacrilegious hands.
Quite a sensation was created last summer
by the story of an aged Mexican, who claimed
that sixty years ago, while he was a hid herd-
ing goats, three persons came In from the Red
iver country, with documents resuscitated
from the archives of autniuity, purporting to
contain the location of the lost mine of Monte-
zuma. He claimed to have watched them un-
til, unsuccessful iu their search, they went
away. He then began prospecting 011 l£s owu
account, until he came upon some hiero-
glyphics 011 a rock and began to dig. When
at the depth of about ten feet he came upon
some pieces of timber laid across the mouth of
the hole or shaft. With the superstition of
his race he darea not go further, fear-
ing, perhaps, that the ghost of Montezuma
would appear to him from the bowels of the
eurth, but filled it up as he found it nnd claims
to have kept the secret locked within his an-
cient breast for upwards of sixty years. With
the advent of the locomotive his love for the
dollar of Los Americano? induced him to re-
veal his secret to a resilient of Kingman and
the writer, who lost uo time in loading a burro
with a pack saddle containing n week's provi-
ions, mining utensils, etc., and with light
hearts and golden visions started out for the
long lost mine of Montezuma. Fording the
racing Pecos we ascended the other shore, nnd
after tramping nine miles into the howling
wilderness, we came upon a little Mexican set-
tlement called Los Colonas, 011 the Rio la Vaca,
or Low creek.
Here a little baud of 100 Mexicans dwelt in
all of the primitive simplicity of the days of
Moses. Their adobe houses made of sun-dried
clay, built in a semi circle, the concave front
forming a plaza. Here they live cultivating
their land with the one handed wooden plow,
and irrigating it with ditches whose construc-
tion exhibited a considerable amount of engi-
neering skill Knocking at the door of one of
th) adobes we were bidden entre Senors, by a
bright-eved senorita, and aftei the usual salu-
tations in Spanish, were invited to partake of
their meal of chili con carne, tortillas and cafe.
The interioz of these dwellings is, as a ruie,
a niur- el of cleanliness; one might al-
most eat from the neatly scrubbed
floor of adobe. The room is devoid of
any furniture, exccpt a rudely constructed
table and two chairs for guests. The natives
recline uoon the gaudily-dyed sheepskins laid
upon the bare floor, l'he neatly whitewashed
walls are adorned with a few Biblical pictures
and a vfiltd crucifix. These people live in
this wilderness, bring up children, and die, in
contented poverty, never leaving, nor having
any desire to leave, their mountain home,
many never having seen the railroad, although
only nine miles away; ignorant, but iiosj.ita le
in the extreme.
A tramp of eight miles brings us to the spot
indicated by our Mexican guide and we at
once set to work with pick and shovel to lin-
ear* h the mystery. We are surprised to find
rbnt although thAurroundiug formation is of
hard limestone, ahar removing the crust the
earth shovels easily and we are soon down to
the ten feet and the timbers spokeu of by our
superstitious Mexican A current of air is
plainly felt as if coming from some cavern be
low. We then make ourselves secure by
ropes around cur waists and fastened at the
top, expecting any moment for the earth upon
which we stand to fall into some subterranean
chasm. We are not disappointed, for after
rc moving some large rock which had been
thrown in by the original diggers, the balance
of the debris caved in and weut rolling down
an incline at an angle of about 46 .
We were in an ecstacy of delight—could
it be that the wealth of the Montezumas was
soon to be disclosed to our enraptured vision.
Lengthening our ropes we began the descent
of about 140 feet, and were deeply chagrined
to find in the formation of its w alls not the
slightest indication of minerals of any kind,
but came abruptly upon a solid wall of rock
which cflfe tually impeded further progress.
We, however, found a rudely constiucted fire-
place and some fragments of ancient pottery,
which evidently had been used in some remote
period for cooking purposes, but for what pur-
pose the hole or shaft had ever been sunk was
entirely beyond our conjecture. Whether it
was designed for an air shaft for some other
mine 01* tunnel in the vicinity, or the recepta-
cle for some old hidden trea»ure, secreted from
the invading Spaniards, and carried away by
the prospectors of sixty years ago, a week's
prospecting failed to develop any clue to the
mysterious excavation, and we sorrowfully
wended our way back to Kingman, and re-
inn d our tramp southward.
Sauntering leisurely over the Glorietta di-
vide we get a glimpse of old Pecos town and
the ruined wall of the old Pecos church, cast-
ing its shadows over tbe graves of thirteen gen-
erations. Here is said to exist a tunnel built
at a remote period to the ancient city of Santa
Fe, a distance of seventeen miles, but to elicit
any information from the natives is to receive
the stereotyped response, "Quiensabe." The
Mexicans have been taught to regard the
white Americans as 110 bueno, and are reticent
as to their traditions, except upon long
acquaintanceship. Ignorance and supersti-
tion stalk hand in hand in this benighted
region. 'I hey seem to have an innate re-
pugnance to the white nu n, especially the
native born Protestant American. They are
taught it from infancy by the bloated don-
aud fat carpet-bae: priests, who had before the
Mexican war held them in a state of peonags
ten times more degrading than African s!ave
ery, and who still revel and fatten out of the
one-tenth annual tithes that these poor crea-
tures are compelled to pour into their already
overflowing cotters. Not one. iu all of these
churches I have visited, have I seen one single
"itive Mexican officiating; alwa\Ts some
French or Italian vulture swoops down to
gorge itself upon the carcass—ignorance.
A year ago an English school was opened in
San Miguel. The children were apt and quick
to learn, and were progressing admirably,
when these cormorants, discerning their
power vanishing with education in the near
future, admonished the parents to withdraw
their children from that cauldron of heresy
mder penalty of excommunication. The
school was closed and religious bigotry was
triumphant. Last summer in Albuquerque
the building of a smelter for refining ores was
broached in tbe City Council, when instantly
my noble Castilian was 011 his feet and deliv-
ered himself of the progressive sentiment:
'We don't want any American inventions,
and we dou't want the Americans; let them go
where they are better liked." I11 this immedi
ate vicinity also dwell that barbaric sect kuown
as " Hermanos Penelentist," or penitential
brotherhood, whose manner of " doing pen-
ance" is the refinement of torture, and is sim-
plv blood curdling to witness.
Their ceremony usually begins on Good Fri-
iay, aud I was peculiarly fortunate in being
able to obtain a view of part of the ceremony
unseen by the participants.
\ young Mexican girl entirely nude to the
waist, adorned with long necklaces of cactus,
was chanting some weird song, the blood flow-
ing from her cruelly mangled flesh, while t le
others formed in procession bared to the waist,
barefooted and with loops made of the
branches of the cactus tree. Iu front of the
loor of the adobe building 111 which the cere-
monies were to be performed were strewn the
actus and the Spanish needle plant. If any
hesitated before going over it with their bare
feet, they were belabored over their naked
backs by those behind, with the bristling
branches. I would have risked my life had I
endeavored to obtain admittance to the build-
ing, and I was heartily glad to leave the sick-
ening scene. At Glorietta one is first made
acquainted with the vast (?) mineral resources
of the New Mexican mouutains. There is a
glass case outside of the depot with specimens
of ore—gray granite and galena, porphyry,
limestone with copper, tellerium, white quartz
with native gold—each labeled as coming
from some bonanza lode. Every man has a.
claim, and each oue has been offered all tht*
way from $1000 to l&O,(MX) for them, but.
strange as it may uppear, nobody ever heard
of a bona fide sale, and there is not a smelter
north of Socorro "in blast."

DemocrntM in Caucun.
Thirty-eight of the delegates to the Count>
convention, which is to assemble Saturday
evening, met in caucus, in the hall over the
truck-house, last uight. Major W. M. Jer-
done presided, and Mr. John A. McCormick
acted as secretary. The meeting was on the
star-chamber order, the presence of newspa
per men being religiously prohibited. It was
learned by well directed inquiry, how-
ever, that the caucus was held for the-
purpose of arranging the details of the work
to be transacted Saturday night; but every
body seemed to think that there was a fixed
ticket lying around somewhere, and every
body was afraid that the charge of "cutting
and drying" the airair would be made. So, us
a result, the ticket didn't show up. The News
rei>orter was told in confidence, however, that
there would be one by Saturday night, and
The News man's infoimant added: "And
when it is sprung look out for a racket."
Several informal talks were made,
one of the speakers. Hon. Heurv J. Labatt, it
is said, going for The News011 its Democracy.
No direct effort was made to evoke an ex
pression as to candidates, but in an off hand
way the administration of Governor Ireland
was indorsed. No action was taken regarding
the two thirds rule, the question of a county
nominating convention, or the candidates for
Congress, senator or representatives. Tho
caucus was understood, however, to be com-
posed entirely of Crain men.

Advice to Mother*.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always
be used when children are cutting teeth. It re-
lieves the little sufferer at once; it producer
nntural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from
pain. It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
ctyil'l, softens the erums; allays all pain, relieves
wind, regulates the bowels, aud is the best known
remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teeth-
ing or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.
'Tis vain to seek a powder that defies detec
tion; but use Pozzoni's to improve the com
plexion. All druggists keep it.
Policy.
If the ship you sail is strande I
In some shallow place in life.
If your troubl»s seem to double.
And you meet with want an i strife.
If kind fortune turns against you-
You receive a bitter sting-
Just bow and smile your sweetest.
For "policy's the thing.M
When sweet hope is just arising.
As the iHe begins to turn.
If some kind friend lights tne fire,
That your noble ship will burn.
Just turn and greet him blandly
As you see your hopes take wing,
Don't let him know you hate him,
For " policy's the thing."
If your friends of summer sunshine.
In misfortune "French leave' take,
If their envy and ill-lmmor.
Cause your hopes and heart to break.
If they with bitter malice
Some poisoned arrow fling.
Receive them smiting sweetly.
For "policy s the thing.''
One true friend is much better
Even though his coat be rough.
Than a circle full of false ones,
Clad in costly silken stuff.
Yet the false ones takes much better,
Though a selfish heart they br'ng,
F-'w look beneath the surface,
For "policy's the thing."
I sometimes think tliN policy
Is a nice name for deceit.
I sometimes think a polished man
Is something of a cheat.
And 1 think when we are summoned—
When to God our way we wing,
He will judge the under eurreut
Not the policy we bring.
