ONE Of two things should be done
by the Uuited States, j. e. either pro-
tect its citizens, or cease its ineffective
attempts to do 50. Exclusive of Indi-
ans and troops, there are about 10000
inhabitants in Arizona, a Territory
organized by and belonging to the
United States, and these people have
just claims to protection.
IF the same well directed and per-
sistent industry were practised by the
troops now in Arizona, that nearly
every citizen does practice in his bust
ness, it would not be long until Indi-
an attacks would be few and far be-
tween. And why should not officers
and troops be as industrious and as
earnest in their industry as citizens?
Is the army a mere retreat for the idle
and incompetent? Does twenty days
labor, when III uniform, require forty
to recuperate ? Is it necessary to have
from 40 to 100 men constantly at each
camp for post duty! Can't scout be
continually out from every post hav-
ing 40 OF more men? If so, can't the
Department Commander contrive
some plan to vitalize the forces under
his control?

stolen.
On the 10th, L. B. Wooster was
killed at his home, near Tubac, and a
woman taken prisoner, and the Bos-

such weekly records will not?

On Tuesday last, Rosario Eredie, who
has been confined in the county Jail for
about nine months, and indi cted by the
grand jury tor participation, in June last,
in violent attack upon NJ. B. Duffield, was
tried in the District Court and acquitted.
The woman seems to have been guilty of
sleeping with Dufield, and the evidence
conveyed the impression that she was en-
gagged in that business when the attack was
made upon him. We understand that liti-
CATION is not closed in this matter, and
therefore it may be ascertained whether or
not the prosecution was malicious. Ger

On Wednesday Of this week the Indians
stole two yoke Of cattle, a mule and bur-
TO, from a ranch few miles north Of town.
The cattle were owned by Romero, and he,
with some aid, followed the thieves and
stock to the vicinity Of the mountains
northeast of town, where they discovered
large party of Indians to their front and
rear The situation was recognized as eX-

decided that he didn't want the cattle bad

Sleep as a Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than for food. Not that it is more impor
tant, but it is often harder to get. The besr
rest comes from sound sleep. Of two meu
or women otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps the best will be the most moral
healthy, and efficient Sleep will do much
to cure irritabihty of temper, peevishness,
uneasiness. 1t will restore to vigor an over
worked brain. 1t will build up and make
strong an Overworked body. 1t will relieve
the languor and 'prostration felt by consump-
tives. 1t will cure hydrophobia. 1t will
cure the headache 1t will cure the heart
ache. 1t will cure broken spirit 1t will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we might make long
list Of nervous maladies that it will cure
The cure of sleeplessness requires clean,
good bed, sufficient exercise to produce wea-
riness, pleasant occupation, good air, and
not too warm room, freedom from too much
care, clean stomach, clear conscience,
and avoidance Of stimulants and norcotics.
For those who are overworked, haggard ner-
vous, who pass sleepless nights, we commend
the adoption of such habits as shall secure
sleep; otherwise life will be short, and what
there is of it sadly imperfect Of

American Sunday Schools.
OLD PILGRINI.

Let US have some honest talk abe
Sunday Schools Admitting that r-9y Ie
useful beyond our fuite calculation, and
that, as an agency in Christian civilization,
they stand in one of the places of the highest
Importance, it viii not be amiss to inquire
whether there may not be in them some
tendencies to evil, some wrong ideas, some
misconceptions of the highest ends to be
sought in their operation and management.
Let US touch the heart of the matter in
our opening statement. We know of no
good reason for sending child to a Sunday
School, or Of seeking to bring child into a
Sunday School except to make Christian
of him. We are in the habit of speaking Of
Sunday Schools as nurseries of the
Church; and no phrase could be happier in
defining that which is undeniably the first
object Of a Sunday School-namely Chris
tian nurture. There is a class of Sunday
Schools, in large cities mainly, that need in
struotioa in the facts of Christianity, but it
is true that the great mass of children in the
Sunday Schools of the United States know
the story familiarity, and need nothing 50
much as to be reEgiously impressed and
brought consciously and by sweet and
solemn choice into direct relation with the
great object of worship, and into voluntary
and loving allegiance to Him. The observa-
tons Of life Of observation have taught us
that the principal good results of Sunday
Schools come not from enterprising and
gifted superintendents, come not from In
teresting and funny story-tellers, who are
known technically as Sunday School men, %
come not from singing sacred words to Yam
kee Doodle, or Of frivolous words to still
more frivolous tunes, come not from huge
feats Of memory in the rehearsal of long
chapters Of Holy Witt, come from none Of
the numberless tricks resorted to for enthral-
ling juvenile interest and exciting juvenile
ambition and love of praise, but from the
personal influence of Christian teachers, who,
knowing their scholars intimately and loving
them tenderly, lead them by the power Of
their love and the light Of their own Chris
tan character into the adoption of Chris
tan life.
Nothing is more notorious than the fact
that a man may carry the whole scheme of
Christian truth in his mind from boyhood to
old age without the slightest effect upon his
character and aims. It is there, but it |
tructifes nothing. It has less influence than
the multiplication table. A community may
be-and often thoroughly intelligent in
everything relating to the facts and claims
of Christianity, and, at the same time, al
most hopelessly frivolous or vicious. 1t fol-
lows, then, that Sunday School, which does
no more than teach, fails to do that thing
without which teaching is of very little &C
count Tue power Of Sunday School to
make Christians of its scholars resides almost
entirely in its teachers If they are Chris

A Child's influence.

There was man in Dayton, Ohio, who
was perishing for want of knowledge Of
Him, whom to know as Mediator between
God and man is eternal life. Not believing
there was any God, he had a card printed
with these words, "GOd is nowhere" and
hung it up in his Office He had little
niece who loved Jesus, and was happy all
the time. One day she visited her uncle
Office. After playing long time with every
thing she could find within her reach to In
terest her, she began to look around on the
walls, and her eyes fell on the card. Having
just begun to read writing, the letters were
not so familiar to her but that she had to
spell out anything that vas written. So she
began to spell out aloud, Go-d-God, is
is, no VIII e-r-e-nowhere.
She could not understand it, and, looking
down on the floor, repeated the word. She
thought she must be mistaken. Then she
commenced again, so loud that her uncle,
who sat at the desk heard her, G-o.d-God,
isis, n-o.w-now, h,e,r,e-here. "That's
right" she exclaimed, looking round at her
uncle. The arrow had struck home. Her
uncle became changed man. He believed
in the true God, and sought and found for
giveness Of sin beneath the crimson canopy
of the atonement'

FooD MEDICINES. DR. Hall relates the
case of man who was cured of biliousness
by going without his supper and drinking
freely of lemonade. Every morning" says
the doctor, this patient rose with a wonder
full sense of rest, refreshments and feel
ing as though the blood had been literally
washed, cleansed and cooled by the lemonade
and the fast" His theory is that food will
be used as a remedy for many diseases sue
cessfully. For example, he instances cures
of splitting of blood by the use of salt;
epilepsy and yellow fever, water melons;
kidney affections, celery; poison, olive or
sweet oil; erysipelas, pounded cranberries
applied to the parts affected; hydrophobia,
onions, etc. So the thing to do in order to
keep in good health is really to know what
to eat, and not what medicines to take.

Many and many plantation and farm are
as guiltlesg of apples, pears, peaches, figs,

chestnuts, h1menacs and hickory-nuts, as if
they cost millions, or would not grow on our

ears that "places' with these Injuries grow
ing on them are twice as valuable as those
'bare fields. Your valuable magazine
gives you much influence. VIII you not
exert it in favor of these home comforts ?
Cotton, corn and potatoes are the only things
thought of-even groundnuts are neglected.
A little trouble now would give the farmer
an abundance, and leave more for the chill
dren coming on; each man should plant
trees, for are We not sitting under the shade
of those planted by hands long since laid to
rest? We shall soon follow, and should

Southern Historical Society.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 4th, 1871.
To Gen. D. H. Hill, Tice- President of til,
Southern Historical Society for the STATE
of North Carolina:
Dear Sir:-I am directed by the Execu
tive Committee of the Southern Historical
Society, to communicate to you the follow
ing statement and request:
This Society, in the furtherance of its
original design, has prepared a plan for a
series of volumes, which shall contain, in
chronological order, all the important events
of the late War, together with all the docu,
ments necessary to substantiate the history.
1t is now engaged upon the preparation Of
the first volume, which is expected to bring
the subject down to the capture of Fort Sum.
ter, or possibly, to the battle of Manassas.
The proposed outline is as follows: 1St An
elaborate introduction, by the proper hand,
setting forth fully, the causes of the War,
and the principles involved therein. 2nd.
A complete account, with documentary evil
dence, of all the endeavors-diplomatic and
other-made by the South, to avert the War.
And 3rd. The record of the acts of the sew
eral States, in reference to secession, Selling
of forts, arsenals, &C., and confederation.
The 1st and 2nd parts of the above plan
have been assigned to the persons considered
the most competent and suitable for the per-
Torrance of the task, and it is believed that
they are already engaged upon their work.
In regard to the 3rd part, the Committee
desires and urgently requests that the Vice
Presidents of the different States shall I'M
dertake teach one for the individual
State which he represents-feeling conf
dent that it cannot be placed in better hands.
They therefore trust that you will consent
to perform this labor in reference to the
State of North Carolina; collecting and ar
ranging all the materials that can be OBJ
tanned on the subject giving succinct &C
