vidihg for an efficient and allen
bracihg System of Free Schools
but to make it available we need,
and must have /. Good school-oili-
GERS. 2. Good ol-houses. 3.
Good teachers. 4. The children in
the "good school-rooms," under
the charge of the "good teachers" "
In other words, the disposition on
tile part Of parents to send their
children to school, and to send them
regularly. Without all these, our
Law is a dead letter.
Let our school officers see to it,
that such arrangements are made as
will insure "the greatest good to the
greatest number" and that will not
deprive the little ones of their birth
right. Let summer schools be pro-
vided wherever it is possible; and
hereafter let the term of school be
properly divided and Of proper
length. We cannot afford to lose
so much of the benefits intended to
be bestowed by free schools.

From the Ohio Farmer.I
To Keep Black Calico from Fading.

/ saw a lady repairing a pretty
black and white calico dress, put
ting new galloon around the skirt
a dress that 1 had seen her wearing
for a year, and it was yet almost as
bright as new. l remarked that |
never saw black calico keep so fresh
looking before. She told me the
first time the dress was soiled enough
to be washed, she put it on to boil
in strong cold soap suds, and boil
ed it the same as though it was white,
then set the boiler off and lot the
dress lie in it till it was cold, rinsed
it Thoroughly, and always afterwards
washed it the same IS any other
calico dress, and it never faded at
all. / think this is a very valuable
recipe, and l hasten to giveit to the
people. RosELLA.

How They get Warning of Earth
Quakes in Japan.

How They get Warning of Earth
quakes in Japan.
Earthquakes have been so preva-
lent of late in India, that they are
now a topic of popular converse
ton. Many of our readers are,
doubtless, unaware of the fact that
the japanese have, for centuries
past been cognizant of q very sim
pie mode of warning against these
sudden and often dangerous, phe-
nomena. They long ago discover
ed that the magnet loses its attrac-
tive power a short time previous to
a shock, and they have in every
house a simple apparatus, consist
ing Of magnet suspended by its
own force to an iron bar, over a
dish, or hemisphere of bell metal,
on which it falls accordingly, and
alarms the inmates, who have time
to leave the walls before they are
shaken. This plan could be adapt
ed to public alarm, we think, the
weight of a fallen magnet being adj
equaUe to ignite percussion fuse
on a loaded cannon. We wonder
it has never been tried in civilized
countries where earthquakes have
been so prevalent. " Magnetic
storms" have recently been observ'
ed by medical practitioners in Eu-
rope to be forerunners Of epidem-
les, cholera especially; and we too
have frequently noticed that con-
tinued earthquakes are the harbin-
gers and attendants of epixootic
pests. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that concentrated gases of poison
Gus virulence are discharged on the
surface of the earth during these vi
olent convulsions of nature.

CEN. McDowELL.-As there seems tobe some mystery in San Francisco regarding the reason Of the present strong feeling in this part Of Arizona, against General McDowell. We will clear it up by the following state ment; Our people felt kindly towards Gen eral Mcdowell when he sent General Gregg and his troops here, and all went we'll until. as they think, Gen. G. was unwisely and un- necessarily called to task for doing what is here believed to have been just right. In other words, the popular feeling is against Gen Mcdowell, because it is thought that after sending Gen. Gregg here, he should have supported him heartily, which it is be. lieved he has not done, but rather listened to those who have msrepresented him.

PATIENCE.

An editorial in the Ata, to which we late ly referred, urges our people to the exercise of patience, and cites the Florida war as of long duration. The reference is unfortunate, inasmuch as in that tedious war the United States could bring to bear upon the foe but a limited military force. The armies of the United States were weak, and poorly armed The great war of the Union has entirely changed the nature of the military power of the nation, and to-day it is hundred times better able to deal with any foe than ever before.
 Short work. very short work, may be made of the Apache, and of all hostile sayagcs il Congress will but realize their true nature Our Indian troubles at this time are not be cause of lack of power to suppress them or t.e part of the nation, but rather from q lack of will. For some reason or other, tho officers of the government at Washington fail to comprehend the utter worthlessnes: of the Indian, and the folly of handling him with kid gloves and rose water.
 As outrage after outrage is reported in stead of exciting feeling against the barba rian, new sympathy crops out and new apol ogies are offered for him, even while hi. hands are red with the blood of white men and he is bowling in his fiendish dance about their mangled bodies.
 To talk about the Florida war at this time and counsel patience because that was O long duration, is simply ridiculous, and W, are surprised that paper so progressive anC sensible as the Alta. should stoop to such ar argument. It should realize that there is new order of affairs, and that things impos sible but few years since are now entirely practicable; and if properly managed, the en tire overthrow of the hostile Indians may now be achieved without any such delays, a, were met by our small army in Flonda.

LEGISLATIVE COMMON SENSE.

There is usually so much small talk in modern Legislative bodies, so much time thrown away upon trifling points of dis pute, so much I-ofitless discussion, that good hard common sense is crowded to the wall We trust this will not be the case in the Le- gislature now in session in Prescott It has much important work to do, and can afford no time to sparring matches between its hon orable members, CT to a war of words The people expect something better The coun- try is in peril, and needs immediate relief
 The Governor has suggested a way, and either that, or some better one, if it can be devised, should be followed
 The measures proposed, which are best calculated to bring assistance at the quickest moment, whether originated by the Gov. ernor, by the Prescott delegation, by that from Pima, or by the gentlemen from tho great Colorado, should meet prompt and un divided support.
 "In union there is strength" and if ", may be allowed to make suggestion to tn honorable bodies, it is that they act as on man upon the questions involving the peac and prosperity of the Territory. They hay not come together to build up one party 0 another, to favor one county or another, t advance the pet schemes or to cater to tb ambition of any individual They are me to consul the welfare of the whole people, an it is demanded that they take sound and sen sible action IT i'd not in the number of acf they pass, but the adaptation of the same t the wants of the people that their service will prove most valuable.
 If the members will but permit plain com mon sense to dictate their movements, es chew differences over picayunc points, am work with an eye single to the public weal although many of them have heretofore ba DO Legislative experience, they will earn th lively gratitude of all the people, and a rep utation of which they will have reason to b proud
 In asking for separate department, an Tor more troops, which will probably among the first duties performed by the Le gl,lature, the members should speak tn will Of the people boldly and in unmis takaole language supported by irresisti bie argument. We are an isolated peopI, but we contribute our share to the nationa revenue, and We have rights which the gov ernment IS bound to respect. These shoul be demanded without fear or favor. Indiyid ual interests must give place to those of tn whole people and Territory. We have fait to believe that such emphatic and respectft appeals for help as the Legislature may, an we trust will, get up, cannot go unheeded.
