The Condition or our State University
Fond.
Th* following ia the latest statement of
the State Treasurer of the University
Fond, dated January, 1st, 1881:
Balance cash In Treasury January 1st, rHH
186EI •••••• •••••• •••••• •••••• •••••• •*•••• §7f 5o«
TbeState bonds, belonging to this land
and on which interest is regularly collect-
ed is as follows
Boxna am't. of is.
Five per cent bonds % 75,400 $ 3,770.
Six per cent bonds 175,500 10,530
8evet. per cont bonds 7(,000 4,900 .
Total $320,000 813,300
This fnnd has, in addition to the above,
$10,300.41 in Comptroller's certificates ot
debt. The unpaid balances on notes giv-
en for University lands amounted to say
$184,500. One-tenth of the original
amount of these notes with interest on the
uupaid principal is due annually. These
payments, when received and invested in
State bonds, are placed to the credit of
university land sales account.
Fsom the foregoing report of the Treas-
urer it will be seen that the available uni-
versity fund is quite small, as yet. The
fnnd at' present available for the erection
ot buildings, the purchase of aparatus and
and the payment ot teachers is as follows:
Cash on hand $ 7.228
Comptroller's certificates . 10,300
Total. $17,558.
Within one year from January 1st, 1881,
we may infer that the available fund will
be augmented by the collection of the in-
terest on the bonds belonging to this tund
amounting to the sum of $19,200. There
is doubtless au additional sum arising out
of the interest due ou the unpaid balance
of notes given for university lands, say 8
per cent, on $184,500—$14, 760.
These sums added give us $51,518 as
the probable available fund, January 1st
1882. There is an error in the minds of
many in supposing that the unpaid bal
ance ou notes given for university lands
is subject to appropriation tor present pur-
poses. It belongs to the permanent fund,
and when collected, must be invested in
bonds.—[Tjler Democrat.
A Sewage Farm*
The Times of Saturday last gave a full
description of a plan to utilize the sewage
of a town—Pullman—by using it as a fer-
tilizer. In a recent letter to the sanitary
Engineer, of New York, from a -London
correspondent a description of a sewage
form at or near Birmingham. Eug., is
given. As the facts are of special inter*
est at the present time, the following ex-
tract ot the letter has beeu prepared.
The systematic drainage of the town ot
Birmingham was commenced in 1862 by
the construction ot the Hocky brook and
the River Bea main intercepting sewers.
These sewers are egg-shaped, five leet
niue inches high by three feet and six in-
ches wide in their lower portions,and they
drain an area of 7,287 acres out of 8,240
acres, comprising the borough. . An area
of 87 acres has its sewage lifted by pump
ing at the outlet works, and the drainage
and treatment of about 955 acres is now
uuderconsideration. The subsidary drains
now constructed consists of twelve and
fifteen inch stoneware pipes and of egg-
shaped sewers varying iu size from one
toot and nine inches by one foot and three
inches, to three feet and six inches by
two feet and six iuches.
The bouse connections are generally
six incheHStoueware pipes for dwellings
of an ordinary description. The sewers
are ventilated by open gratings placed
about oue hundred yards apart, in some
instances side catch-pits being used to pre-
vent dirt and stones from falling into the
sewers, uf the smaller size. Owing to the
natural situation and configuration of the
of the town the -gradients of the sewers
are almost universally very good. The
total length ot sewers under the care ot
the council is about 175£ miles.
For the disposal of the sewage, irriga-
tion was recommenced in 1S56, and three
years later an injunction was obtained to
prevent the corporation from emptying
the sewage in the Tame tiver. Subsi-
dence tanks were constructed and purifi.
cation by sand-Alteration was tried,but af
terwards abandoned. Small areas of land
were obtained at Saltley from time to time
for disposing of the sludge from the tanks
and fur irrigation with the effluent—pu-
rified water—but this plan was interfered
with by legal proceedings. Finally, the
ltme process of purification of the sewage
was adopted and more land was obtained
at Saltley. Four additional sets of subsi-
dary tanks were constructed, and oue has
been recently added. In 1877 ;he united
drainage board was formed. On this
board now devolved the duty ot treating
and purifying the sewage delivered by the
various constituent authorities at the out-
let works.
To. meet the additional strain thus
brought on the works, the board last year
entered into negotiations for the acquisi
tion of 867 acres ot land in the neighbor-
hood of Castle Bromwich, to be used for
irrigation with the effluent from the tanks.
The board was met in a friendly spirit by
the land owners, and terms satisfactorily
arranged. A local goverument board in-
quiry was held in April ot this year for
{rawer to borrow £188,000 for purchase of
land and works, and the requisite permis-
sion was recently obtained. The area of
the present Saltley farm is 272 acres, of
which 170 acres are freehold. The sub
soil is generally of a gravelly nature, with*
a little clay in places. The three large
tanks and sixteen smaller ones have a
combined capacity of 453,310 cubic yards,
or about 7,300,000 gallons.
The amount of Sludge deposited in the
tanks during 1880 was 178,400 cubic yards,
or about 490 cubic yards per day, and re-
quired an area of 53A acres ot laud for dig
ging iu the same, orrather more than 1
acre per week. The average dry weather
How of sewage was about 13,000,000 gal-
lons per day, the populatiou actually con-
tributing that amount being roughly esti-
mated at 450,000, about 29 gallons per
head. A little over 13 tous of lime were
used per day, the lime being stacked and
grouud with water under edge runners.
The sludge was lifted from the tanks, run
into beds about 8 yards square to a depth
of about 18 inches, aud allowed to drain
for a week or two; it was then dug into
the land and covered with soil. The thor-
ough drainage of the laud greatly facili-
tated operation of dealing with the sludge.
The sludge land is very favorable to the
growth of cabbage, goul rabi, and man-
gold, as much as 60 tons of the latter be-
ing obtained per acre.
No nuisance arose from the preseut
method ot dealing with the sludge, as was
sufficiently proved by the fact that there
are nearly three thousand houses withiu
half a mile of the farm boundary, no com-
plaints being made'by the inhabitants as
to the operations now carried ou.
Be discreet in all things, and so render
it unnecessary to be mysterious about
any.—[Wellington.
New Mexico's Progress.
The Territory of New Mexico is mak-
ing grand strides forward iu the paths of
progress, and the rapid development oi
her extraordinary resources. The pro-
jected lines of the stupendous Gould
system are beiug rapidly surveyed and
marked out, while on some of theui the
work of construction has already com-
menced and is carried on with extraorli
nary vim and vigor. This vast Son'li
western system will connect New <>r
leans with New Alexico and Arizona, an
also California, in whose southweste;.
extremity the line port of New San Die
go will compete with San Francisco for
the China and East Indian trade.
As the only deep water port aloin' the
vast exteut of the Gulf coast, New Or-
leans will be greatly benefitted by the de-
velopment ot New Mexico, and tin; iin
mense Territories of the Southwest. Foi
their various products, such as fibre, sil-
ver and numerous other minerals, wines,
etc., will be brought to the Orescent
City for shipment and distribution to
other markets.
The soil of New Mexico, according to
its situation, is either very fertile or very
sterile. In the more favored localities
the cereals, fruits and vegetables ot the
temperate climate, are abundantly pro-
duced. But there are long, wide stretch-
es of territory without water, where the
soil is dry and barren, aud where tin-
only kinds ot vegetation to be met with
are dwarfed mesquitebean trees, aud nu
uierous species of the cactn Yet even
these now desert wastes can, au.i will be
utilized, for the despised caotus yields a
fibre that is daily becoming ot more im-
portance in the commercial world, while
fine specimens of Spauish dagger, the
Mescal plant, and the century plant,
thrive in localities where no other spe-
cies of vegetation could exist- Each ot
these plants coutain valuhle fibie, and
as they belong to the same f u ? y as- the
Yucatan hemp or Sisal gra- , r >ere is no
reason why the latter may ■. >t also be
domesticated on some of t* J rid plains
of New Mexico.
In the fertile and irriyble valleys
norta and south ot Las Ve^a the grape
has Deen successfully culti ar .d for some
time. Wine-making has 1; H ome a prof
itable investment tor capita!, and many
farmers have entered earnestly into this
new industry. The climate and the na
ture of the soil both combine to make the
cultivation of the grape a success, aud
some ot the inhabitants of Las Yegas are
confident that their district will sooil ri-
val the richest wine-producing localities
of the Golden State. The following ex-
tract from a New Mexico exchange will
give some idea of the profits arising from
this industry:
In a certain vineyard with which we
are acquainted the entire cost of taking
care of the vines and gathering the
grapes amounted to $268. The vinage
ot the year, amounting to 90 barrels,
sold for $45 per barrel, when the pur-
chaser returned the barrel. This gives a
total for the crop of $4060. Deducting
the expense of $268, there remained a
net profit of $3792 on 10 acres of ground;
and on last year's crop of 73 barrels, a
net profit of $3089.
Altogether the outlook for New Mexico
seems brilliant. New settlers are daily
crowding into her fields and mines; nor
will it be long before she demands her ad-
mission into the Union as a State, for
her population which is now 125.000,
will, it is estimated, reach 140,000 by the
end ot this year.—[N. O. Democrat.'

adds nothing to his own happiness, ci-

gives pain to any creature, by confine-
ment or death, but seeks the good of iill
sentient beings, enjoys bliss without :;n
end. The heartless one, who would care-
lessly trample ou a worm that crawls
upon the earth, is darkly aiientaed from
God. But God dwells with him who em-
braces all things with his love.—[Mann.
The Facts of the Case.
An exchange says: "An Ohio man is
very ill from the effects ot a catfish bite.
The paper does not tell the whole story."
It fails to say that when the catfish bit it
became impaled upon the hook, and was
jerked from the water with such force by
the excited Ohio man thatit flew from the
hook and lodged iu a tree 50 feet from the
grouud, and was dislodged only after an
hour's vigorous clubbing and stoning.
It neglects to state that the fish was just
six aud one eighth iuches long, aud that
when the Ohio man asserted iu a crowd
that he weighed eighteen and a half
pounds, he was called a double-dyed liar
by a meek and lowly man, and chat one
word brought on another until ihe Ohio
man was picked up by the back of the
neck aud sat down on the pavement with
such emphasis that his spi> c was jammed
up iutohis plug hat, and was then kick-
ed until his body was alm< st suitable lor
driving into the usual envelope with a tin
sausage stuffer. Very true: ;1k uian is ill
from the effects ol that catiisli bite, but
the paper first giving thesr ry otlie pub-
ic shonld be condemned fc v ithholuing
the facts of the case.—[Detroit -'roe Press

Extracts from tne Constitution of the State
cf Tezaa, Relating to the Homesteads o
Families.
ARTICLE XVI.—GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 50. The homestead of a family
shall be, and is hereby protected from forced
sale, for the payment of all debts, except for
the purchase money thereof, or a part ot
such purchase money, the taxes due thereon,
or for work and material used in constructing
improvements thereon ; and in this last case,
only when the work and material are con-
tracted for in writing, with the consent of the
wife, given in the same manner as is required
in making any conveyance of tlie homestead;
nor shall the owner, if a married man, sell
the homestead without the consent of the
wife, given in such manner as may be pre-
scribed by law. No mortgage, trust deed, or
