FAR AWAY. Correspondence of Visitor. It is indeed a task to know iust. when and how to begin th.it my sec j oud letter. It was my purpose to give your readers about one letter weekly, but my duties as pastor of T.VlA Ra.nt.laf fthlll-H hara sJAlinl me from always being punctual. However, I promise to write as often as possible. I have been a little indisposed of late, having had a touch of mountain fever which compares well with your break bone fever. I did not intend to convey in my last letter the idea that I had already fully regained my health. No, I am far from being well yet, but much improved, and trust that sufficient time will, with this almost perfect climate, effect a final and complete cure. I left Raleigh May 16, via Norfolk and Washington, and having en feebled myself from the worry of leaving home and the necessary preparation for leaving I stopped at a sister's near Suffolk, Va., two weeks in order to husband as much strength as possible for my long journej . I felt exceedingly lonely as I stood on the wharf at Norfolk thronged ritu people and watched the magnificent boat Washington as it neared the shore, had a peculiar sense of going far from home, drifting alone out on something that might mean worse than nothing to me in my search for health, hoping, yet fearing, dreading, yet riskiDg; "all that a man hath will he give for his life." I was somewhat ttartled and aroused from the restive reverie into which I had plunged, when I saw on board the steamer your excellent citizen and my esteem ed friend, Mr. J D. Boushall, who shared his state room with me and inti educed a number of Mends. Ar riving at Washington and having purchased a ticket to Raton, Few Mexico, visited the National Museum and 8mitbsonian Institute, and there I became interested in what I should probably have passed almost un noticed under any other circnm stances. There, right before my eyes, ' were some of the Pueblo Indian vil lages of New Mexico. Had I not had my ticket in my pocket acd the ticket agent iny money I think I should have been tempted to '-crawfish," as the boys say, for standing in Wash ington CityI amagined myself crawl ing into a little dirt house and snuff ing ashes for the time being; indeed, if some of you could see some of the he oses that I can, as I write, see from my window, with no knowledge of environments, you would expect to lose your scalp, but you shall have something of these Pueblo villages and Indians later; let it suffice now to say thtt Raton 1 not a Pueblo vil lage. Leaving Washington, via the B. and O. R. H.f passing through St. Loi:isat the time of an overflow of the rher, arriving at Kansas Citv, Mo., I started pn the Sd of June direct to Raton, crossing those immense and seemingly boundless plains of Kan sas, arriving at La Junta Colo on Jone 4th. within a little over 100 miles of Raton. Kansns City, Mo., looks high and mountainous, but from this place to la Junta there is steadly, ceaseless, climbing, and from La Junta to the Colorado State line (which is only about sli miles from Raton) and In a distance of about 100 miles you go op, np, op 8,661 feet, which makes yon 7,622 feet above the sea and yon are not on top the moun tain, btt In them. Pass through tlit- uanel down an incline of about 8(K .eet and yon are at Raton, a little modern town, but badly infested witn the spirit of the woolly West. Now that you have finally arrived with me at Raton, aid as it is nataral tbat you are suffering from some fatigue, being nearly time for supper, and des'ring to satisfy their appetites, j made varacious by this health giving atmosphere, we will desist in a further search of things this time and take a rest. Your'lruly, Jonathan Wood. Raton, New Mexico. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. 1 he Chronicle of this morui jg says. "Yesterday the railway commission filed Its opinion in a case which has been much talked of. Mr. E. P. Albea complained that he was charged 65 cents on a telegraphic message over the line of the Western Union tele- graph company from Elizabeth City to Winston, in violation of tha rail way commispion's order fixing 25 cents as the rate of messages. It appeared that there were two lines to Norfolk from Elizabeth City, one private and the other operated by the Norfolk Southern railway under the usual contract between the railways ani telegraph companies; that the Wes tern Union refused to transmit com mercial messages over its own line from Elizabeth City and Edenton, forcing all over the private line which had no connection to other points in North Carolina, thus avoiding the 25 cent rate fixed by the commission The commission dismissed Albea's case, as he had filed his message at the private line, and is not therefore entitled to recover damages. But the commission adjudges that the tele graph offices at Elizabeth City, Eden ton and other points on the Norfolk end Southern railway in this State pre offices of the Western Union tele graph company, and that the com pany shall transmit commercial mes sages at the rate set by the commie sion were filed to other officers in North Carolina ; this ruling to take effect Aagust 22d. The commission further holds that telegraphic mes sages transmitted by the defendant over its said line from Elizabeth City or Edenton or other points in North Carolina to points in said State, do not constitute commerce between States, although traversing another State in the route, and are subj -ct to the r.ite prescriled by the commis sion " REDUCED R4TES, KNIGHT OP PYTHIAS, UNIFORM RANK SU PREME GRAND LODGE AND BI ENNIAL ENCAMPMENT, AT KANSAS CITY, MO.

The first is a lit tie mechanical device for taking the place of the thumb, and the second is an attachment by which the stick can be put in a convenient position for receiving the type, without beincr in the way of any subsequent opera-i tions Having got so lar, the foreman found that bis next Btep was to train the left hand. This was by no means easy, but after patience and practice a considerable degree of efflciensy was attained, ani he added 60 per cent to his former capacity.
