ness and magnifcence of Babylon, Its
builders had been terribly punished for
their temerity in building the Tower of
Babel. But guilty as they were, they
possessed the doubtful merit of ambi-
ton. Descended from the antediluvi-
ans who had been swept away, and in
habitiug world cleanscd by the food,
they now aspired to reach the skies
We may venture to assume that because
their sin was one of ambition, their
lives were spared and Babylon was per-
mitted to remain, and astonish modern
times with the record of its glory. Their
fathers had gazed upon the wonders Of
the first world. and yet had groveled in
infamy aud followed passion down into
the deliberations of brute creation.-
Jehovah had smitten them in his wrath
and thay we're destroyed. From the
awful day of the delugc we may trace
the bright line of civilization down
through the dark ages, until it concen-
trated in anglo-saxon vein and lit the
world with its glory, and we nowhere

reconstruction intended for Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas is intended fol

American white race to drag itself down
Voluntarily therein and bury beyond
the reach of reconstruction evey jewo
and safeguard of liberty which our faith
ers have won from kings and despots
beneath tho scaffold and on tho battle
plain. Then negro domination and af

occupation of eating each other. AL

Lad it exactly copied, and ON the next day
Of discussion purposely placed the copy in

to "the letter he had in his possession" eet.,
wheroupOu CoiiaX slrsng u his feet and

to chow the letter. Turning upon him,
Fitch said "Is that what you want, you

And now, Mr.. ColfaS, l would propose to

FAREWELL SHoT.-In the last number of the Albuquerque Press we find one of those shots that 'settle" the man or thing at which it is fired. It must have gone crashing through the main'' skull of the editor of the Ari,o- nian like lightning through pot of mush. Here it is, and if it has not knocked him clean into "pi," we expect to hear of his striking out for New Mexico, with "friend," "loud-mouthed $ cannon" and several gallons of meseal, to keep his courage up.

 TIE SOUTHERN ARIzoxrAY.-This dirty little sheet, which we acknowledge we receive regularly, but of which we can make no earthly use, has become astonishingly proud and self sufficient over refutatioD of charges made by it's imbecile editor, in regard to the rela- tions between the sister Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, The editor says that he learned through the columns of the drE zoaa Mtner that we had been constantly abusing him for months. The editor never learned any suck thing from the Miner. The falsehood was concocted for the purpose of getting notoriety by advancing and propaCat- ing the idea that respectable journal had bestowed upon it q few kicks and cuffs. The only article in which we mentioned the what-do-you-call-it p was mild and gentle manly in it's tone and language. Except in that article, (republshed in the Maer.) we have never noticed the Arisonian. The whif- fet who pretends to edit CD the little abor- ton says we have been assailing him for some time past. Whats the use of loading a 24- pounder to kill louse He deprecaies the mechanical appearance of the Press. and says he can't read it. Perhaps he cannot read at all His paper is excellent evidence that he can't spell; and his little, dirty, waspish yin- dictive disposition evidences that he is a very low-bred wheIp, and has no idea of the ameni- ties of life as practiced by gentlemen If the citizens of Tucson, however, are satisfied with this illitsrate npstart, we have no right to complain.

ALUM WHEY, IN DnRRHGA-To one pint of fresh milk, add one-fourth of an ounce of powdered alum. Heat the mixture until it boils. and strain it. In common cases of the above complaint, it is employed in doses of a wine glass full for an adult three times day.
