Cor THE BToHgAp.--Taggart 4 Bnshyhesd editors and publishers of the San Diego Union, are badly afflicted with "bghead, :" given to lying and other improper practices. Exaltation to editorial tripods has inflated them muchiy, and they will burst. or turn to night-owls before long. Recently, they copied, approvingIy. from the MINER, an item relating to mail service. in which we laid our complaints before the authori- ties in vigorous but respectful manner. They also siezed upon another item upon the same subject in the same issue of our paper, pinched out one or two lines, twisted their meaning to suit themselves, and, in hopes of getting even with us for past stabs, crowed, lustily. about how it had brought the Department and its con tractors to time. To believe it, ever since it opened and shut its alligator jaws upon the con- tractors, and greased them with its slime. they have carried the mails regularly, and the people of its county have been blessed with rare mail facilities. Unfortunately for this tpsy organ of few crazy spectators, It's own columns furnish us assertions to refute its empty boast as may be seen by the following correspondence rom a citizen of its county, in the same issue containing the boast The correspondent says:
 We have been and are entirely deprived of postal privileges in this part of the county. since John Capron, the manager of the San Diego and Tucson Mail Route moved his buck board to the bit of road built by Horton. Morse 6 Co, run ming through to Mexico and interseetng the old road at the foot of the JacLmba Mountains. Steps have been taken to investigate this outrage perpetrated by Tucson's biggest gun"
 Now, MT. Union, be more careful in the future, how you lie, bloyiate, and fry to injure a con temporary, simply because 1t is located in a white mans country. Reduce yourselves to de- cent proportions, and we will let you have a branch from our main trunk railroad.

CRows (some people call them rayens), are plenty in this part of Arizona, and arc as gen eral thing, hated and dcspised by farmers and others, who think they injure crops, and do other mean acts unbecoming decent birds. We, our self, have prejudice against the crow family. yet, are of opinion that by killing them. we do ourselves great injury, such men as Wilson, Dr. Harris and Audobon. have affirmed that the mischief committed by the crow is immensely overbalanced by his services in destroying moles mice, catterpillars. grubs, etc Give the black cuss a chance.

LEFT HASDERs.-The Tucson Arisonaa (close corporation organ), tickles the San Diego Union. tanother C. c. o.,) by calling San Diego the city Of the beautiful harbor" Knowing that puffs of this sort must be paid for, or at least acknowl- edged. the editors of the Union invite him of the Arisonan to visit the "city," take fish. and get . good healthy breath of fresh air and s square nsul," just as if neither of these things were to be had at Tucson. Evidently, these fellows do not understand the art of putting. or the English language, else they would not pay each other such back handed compliments.

New Mexico and Arizona, on the 32d parallel route to san Diego on the Pacific Ocean.-D E. HofmdH, in uae Sdn Diego Union
 How this man Hoffman Is given to lying! IL will be news to most people that the Union Pa ci6c Eastern Diyision) railroad runs on the 32d parallel route, that it's projectors contemplate running theif road upon it. The idea that rail- road or telegraph line will be built upon that barren. arid. treeess .desolate route. in Mir Hoff mans life time. is the most ridiculous absurdity capable of being conceived, even by the disor- dercd brain of a crazy speculation Southern Pacific railroad and telegraph line. if built at all. will most assuredly be built on or near the 35th parallel route, which passes through one of the best timbered, best walered. best grazing fgri- cultural and mining regions on the Continent. Make yourself easy D. R.. Government and cap italists are not such fools you take them to be, and have no idea, whatever of spending millions through desert country. in order to enhance the value of town lots in the ambitious village of San Diego. when they can build a road to San Francisco, the Metropolis of the Pacific. for less money through much better country than that bordering the s2d parallel route.

PROSPECTUS.

"ONWARD" along the track Of civiliza-
tion--on towards goodness and glory-a fn-
ger-post pointing to all that is worthy, of at
tainmeIt-a guide to conduct the Youth of
America along the path leading to the highest
and noblest manhood: such is the design of
Mayne Reid's Magazine.
And it is meant for the Youth of America
they who in a tew short years will hold as in
the hollow Of their hand the destinies not only
of America, but of mankind.
Supreme satisfaction to be even the hum
blest guide in such glorious march; and
while acting as such, "ONWARD" will en-
deavor to prove not only sure guide, but a
cheerful companion; one who, while dealing
largely with the realities of life, will not for
get that life has also its romance-essential to
its healthy existence as the food that is eaten,
or the air that is breathed.
The literature OF this magazine is intended
to be of the highest character known to the
pages of periodical: since the experience Of
its Conductor tells him it is necessary to ,cri,e
dozen to the Youth of America It will be H.
lustrated, and to this end the best artists have
been engaged.
Its first number appeared in January and

Very estimable. and, we trust, very
religious young women sometimes enter
the house of god in a costume which
makes the acts of devotion in the service
seem almosta a burlesque. When brisk
little creature comes into a pew with her
hair friZzpd till it stands on end in a
most startling manner, rattling strings of
beads and bits of tinsel, she may look
exceedingly pretty and piquante, and if
she came there for game of croquet or
or tab)eau party: would be all in very
good taste; but as she comes to confess
that she is miserable sinner, that she
has done the things she ought not to have
done, and left undone the things she
ought to have done-as she takes upon
her Ii ps the most solemn and tremendous
words, whose meaning runs far beyond
life into sublime eternity-there is a
discrepancy which would be ludicrous if
it were not melancholy.

Beautiful Hands.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They're neither white nor small;
And YOU, know, would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hui
A sculptors dream might be;
Yet are those aged, wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful. beautiful hands!
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling "a,
That children might be glad.
I almost weep, as looking back
To childhood's distant day,
I think how these hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're growing feeblSnow
For time and pain have left their work
On hand, and heart. and brow.
Alas alas the nearing time,
And the sad, sad day to me-.
When meath the daisies. out Of sight,
These hands will folded be.
But oh beyond this shadow-lamp,
Where all is bright and fair,
know full we'll these dear old hsnds
Will palms of victory bear. (years,
Where crystal streams, through endless
Flow over golden sands.
And where the old grow young again,
I'll clasp my mothers hands. .s.

Young Men are Responsible

Indeed" I think I hear some young
man say, Indignantly. What hsve acc
got to do with woman'0 dress? What do
ace care about the fashions? ..
do not maintain that you take any
direct interest in them, but it is certain
that you do influence the prevailing
mode much more than you are aware of.
It is true that whenever you come
across a cNse column of dressmaker's S
iargon, headed "Paris Fashions" in
your daily newspapers, you skip 1t for
something else. You would as soon
think Of reading an essay in a language
unknown to you as undertake to meddle
with "fashion article; whereas wo-
man at once plunges, heart and soul,
deep into the mysteries of that very COL
umn, to the utter oblivion of foreign
and domestic news. poetry aAl romance.
And somehow, by Il mysterious law of
attraction, she at once singles out that
especial article, no matter how urobtru-
sively it may appear, or how unlikely to
he seen by ordinary eyes.
The word "Fashions" will hold a
congregation of women in breathless ex-
pectancy when literature, art, Or science
fails to awaken any interest. Many a
woman is too dull or too lazy to care for
the last new poem or novel, but she is
never too dull nor too lazy to read fash
ion report. 81 -'"." .','
While SO we'll understood is it that
men, have no tendencies towards that
sort of literature, that in order to get
them to read anything upon this topic,
it has to be headed /" Fashions for Gen
tlemen;" and even then it fails to attract.
But the ladies gobble up articles on
fashions for themselves and fashions for
gentlemen with unsatisfed avidity, and
are always asking for "more." 1
~ a.. All Of which is not explaining in what
manner young men are responsible for
the dress and department of young wo-
men. u, 's2@'s
J., 7 am coming to that. ..1 =. s.. =.
But first, what do you suppose induces
this inordinate fondness Of woman for
spending SO much Of her time and
thoughts upon the science Of dress, to the
exclusion Of higher and better things ?
I reply, that It springs from her desire
to appear to the greatest advantage in
the eyes of man--to charm his passion
fol, novelty, which she instinctively re-
cognizes-to cause him to regard her
with are-awakened admiration when his
attention is beginning to flag. A man
seeing a woman always in one dress OF
the same color, gradually associates her
with that dress and that color-becomes
accustomed to heraas he does a piece of
furniture. or picture too often looked
at. Another woman, in quite a different
style and color Of dress, comes along and
startles him into admiration. The
charm of novelty: enhances her attractions
in his eyes. Women, instsnctively a.
ware ,of this, are forever challenging
mems attention by new devices in dress.
The wish to be beautiful is one of the
very strongest desires ola woman's ma
ture. tits stronger than any except 'one
other, and that is the desire to be below
ed by men. - .,s ..,s &3z3 az
