POETRY.
The Poor Lite Kittens we Drowned
in the Wen.

How dear to my heart are the scenes of my
childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view
The cheese press, the goosc-pond, the pigs in
the widwoods,
And every old stump that my infancy knew.
The big lnkum basswood with wide spreading
shadow,
The horses that grazed where my grand
mother fell;
The sheep on the mountain, the calves in the
meadow,
And all the little kittens we drowned in the
well
The meek litt& kittens the nlk-loying kittei s.,
The poor little kittens we drowned in the well.
| remember with pleasure my grandather's
goggles
Which rode so mnjestic astradllc his nose;
Aud the harness oft mended with tow string
and togges,
That belonged to old Dolly, now fee from
her woes
And fresh in my heart is the long maple wood
pile.
Where often I've worked with beetle and
wedge,
Striving to Hhack up enough to last for good
while,
Aud grumbling because my old axe had
And there was the kitchen and pump that
stood nigh it,
Which ne'cr played the d uce like the one
we have now
But was faithful and irue,so peaceful and quiet
'Twould be halle with delight by the folks
down below"
The faithful old pump, the moss covered pump.
The old wooden pump, ,kwould twere here now.
And there was the sch ol housa away from each
dwelling,
Where school ma ans would govern with alb
solute sway;
Who taught me my 'rthmetic reading and
spelling,
And "whacd me like bazes1 about every
day
/ remember the ladder that swung in the pas
sage.
Which led to the loft IN the peak Of the
house;
Where my mother hung up her 'pumkin and
sausage
To keep them away from the rat aud the
mouse.
But now far removed from that nook Of creation
Emotions Of grief bigas te,ikettes swell,
" hen Fancy rides back to my old habitation
And thinks of the kittens we drowned in the
well.
The meek little kittens the milk-loyiug kittens,
The poor little kittens we drowned in the well.

CALIFORNIA PRODUCE.

Notwithstanding the large yield of the
crops planted in many parts of Arizona last
year, there are some persons who insist that
little if anything can be raised here. Old
Californians will remember how the idea of
producing good crops in California was hooted
at, even several years after the gold excitement
began. 1t was soberly asserted that all food
would have TO come from abroad-that even
the irrigable lands were not fertile, that the
climate and seasons were entirely unfayor
able. What folly all this now appears in
view of the extraordinary yield of grain. veg
etables and fruits for which California is
distinguished. A stroll through the markets
of San Francisco or Sacramento will convince
the most skeptical that the gardens of the
state are unsurpassed, but the most surpri-
sing fact is that ship loads of grain and -four
are now going from California to the Eastern
states, ria the Isthmus, and that the trade is
profitable one California wheat and -four
stand very high in the Atlantic market. and
it is thought that the shipments will be
greatly increased this year. We hear also
that canned fruits and vegetables are now
put up at such low figure in California that
it is profitable to send them to the East.
Surely these results ought TO silence all
doubt regarding the success of farming and
gardening in Arizona, where the climate is
certainly more favorable than in California.
Judging from the returns given, those who
have, amid Indian dangers and under other
obstacles, attempted to cultivate the soil
here, there can be no doubt that when there
is due protection, and agriculture is made
business, it will pay exceedingly well, and
that we have soil and climate sufficient to
produce all that large population can de
mand

made eminently successful in Arizona, and
we have been hoping that the company hav-
ing a most liberal charter for the improve
ment of the road from La Paz to Prescott,
would provide several. With all respect for
the enterprise of McMullen, lIeneger and
Others, it does not appear that this road, in
other respects one of the best in the Terri
tory, will be convenient or popular until they
are provided. The La Paz people owe it to
themselves TO bestir the existing company to
action, or to insist that the charter shall be
turned over to parties who can and will com
mand the capital for artesian wells at once.
Let the La Paz people move in this matter,
of such great consequence to themselves,
rather than sit with folded arms and in con-
slant jealousy of the lIardyville and Arizona
City roads They have the great central
route to Prescott and ought to make it prac-
ticabe and popular without delay.

ARTESIAN WELLS.

1t is said that GASES are rapidly multiply
ing on the great desert Of Sahara through
the agency of artesian wells, which supply
vast quantities Of water.
Perhaps no more hopeless enterprise could
be undertaken than to attempt to reclaim
this desert, where no rain ever falls. and there
are but occasional Gases to give relief to the
weary and fainting caravans that traverse il.
Modern science, however laughs at seeming
impossibilities. Skillful engineers in the
French army in Algiers proposed to sink ar
tesian wells at different points, with the
strong confidence that thus water could be
reached and forced to the surface. Five arte-
sian wells around which, vegetation thriyes
luxuriantly, thirty thousand palm trees and
one thousand fruit trees were planted, and
two thriving villages established. At the
depth of little over five hundred feet. an
underground river or lake was struck, and
from two of them live fish have been thrown
up, showing that there was large body of
water underneath.
We have no doubt artcsan wells NAV be

FREIGHT.

One Of the principal causes Of the high cost
Of living and mining in Arizona has been the
heavy cost Of transporting food and machine
ny. Ii has, even ria the Colorado, been com
mon to pay twelve cents per pound from San
Francisco, and uia Wilmington and Los An
geles the rate has been from sixteen TO TWEEN
tyrfive cents to Prescott and Tucson.
No country can prosper under such charges
for freight, and with increased protection on
the roads they should at once be reduced.
Indeed owners of trains have constantly pro-
missed a reduction if their property could be
secured against Indian depredations and we
are glad 10 notice that they intend to live up
to the promise. We learn that Mr. Hardy
has offered TO carry from Hardyville TO Pres
colt, during the present spring and summer
for six cents per pound, and that the contract
for taking supplies from La Paz TO the new
camp Mcpherson, on Date Creek, was let al
five and a half cents per pound. These are
encouraging signs, and we doubt not the price
Of transportation throughout the lower part
OF the Territory will be reduced IN the same
proportion.
If the roads are safe, and CoIonels Gregg
and Crittenden mean they shall be, these
cheaper rates will prove far more profitable
to freighters than those they have been charg-
