Let us, then, Of IW- apd county, not lag in our efforts lo secure this wishcd-'Or hOou which would be Of 70 much ben eft Co us and our brethren along tbc route.
 With tbis, we need and must have the service cTtrrded over the route 10 Albuquerque, New Mexico, which would give all the people living on and near the 3jlh parallel oi latitude, from Albuquerque New Mexico. tO Los Angeles, Cali torniH direct communication with the people oi the Atlantic states, and save ihcin much trouble and annoyance. Mail service is badly needed up- on this great route, AS well as upon two or three other short routes, and We earnestly implore all Aho ctn lend hand in procuring iair aud proper mail facilities for the people Of the sections we have mentioned, Co do co without delay.
 Al present, there are j.0OO white people living along the line Of the 35th parallel rOut, and they have 10 ~ast for weeks at time Io send or an sScr ,etter Then, the people oi Bradshaw Mountain, Walnut Grove, Peoples Valley and many other places in the immediate vicinity of Prescott have to depend entirely upon chance for mail facilities.

The Territory will need all the money now in the Treasury for other pur- poses than that Of using it for the support Of a newspaper organ. and, as times go, tax payers c'n ny afford 10 pay in money for any such pur. pose.

TUESDAY. MAY 1e. 1871.


The people of Minnesota have voted to repu-
diate certain bonds of that state. Whether they
will vote next to repudiate all other indebted
ness of the state, remains to be seen. No doubt
they will do so whenever the question shall be
submitted 10 them; for Minnesota has no other
Indebtedness of which the payment is more
clearly required by equity and honor. The re-
pudiated bonds were issued by the state in aid
of a railroad which became bankrupt and was
sold to other parties. The bonds had no securi-
ty beyond the supposed good faith of the state;
and this, it seems, was pretense and not real
ity. They were regular state bonds, lawfully
issued in the usual way. There is no preteilse
that they are not regular, correct, and legal, in
all respects. Nothing is said against them, ex-
eepting that they were issued to aid railroad
company which failed and can not discharge its
pecuniary obligations to the state. This is the
only pretense of reason that is or can be as
signed for this Minnesota vote of reputation.
The bonds are all held by third parties, who
took them because they were bonds Of the state
of Minnesota, believing that no investment was
safer than state bonds. If they could sue the
state, and get the question before the national
courts, they would get judgment against Min
nesota and might recover their money. Their
claim has been much discussed in that state,
and the legislature, in submitting it to the peo-
pie, did not doubt either its legality or its jas
tice. The question really submitted to the people
was this: "Will you or will you not repudiate
this debtp And they have replied: ave viii
repudiateW This blackens the reputation of
Minnesota and fills her best friends with shame.
1t destroys confidence in her credit and good
faith. Henceforth, who will buy Minnesota
bonds2 Nobody who is not eager to throw
away his money Let every one bear in mind
that Minnesota securities are worthless. The
bonds may be handsomely printed, duly signed,
decorated with the great seal of the state, and
every way legal; but all this amounts to moth
ing; they will be repudated. Let them alone.
Leave the Minnesotans to buy their own bonds
and then repudate them, if they will; but, let
all outsiders send them to Coventry"

A STRAWBERRY SToRT.-Up in Minnesota,
where public Indebtedness is repudiated, they
can tell big stories. We have seen their cram
berries and wild plums; we have seen their
gophers, and heard from Minnesotans them
selves how skillfully these creatures can UNDER
mine potato felds but we have never, until
now, heard a wonder story about Minnesota
Strawberries We find such story in the St.
Paul Press; but after all, though used to shed
little glory on Minnesota, it must be told that
the region made wonderful by Strawberries is
in that part of the old Minnesota territory
which is now called Dacotah. The story is told
as follows:
"The writer of this has seen scores of miles
OF country, a degree of latitude north OF FORT
Totten, which was an almost continuous plan
tation of wild strawberries, growing, in many
of the richer spaces, not on horizontal vines, put
on bushes, many of them three and four feet
high on which the clusters of this delicious
fruit attained a size rarely reached by the most
assiduous cultivation. so protuse was tins
native production of strawberries on what is
called the Pembina mountain that the cart
wheels crushing the berries as they revolved,
were fairly red with this wild vintage of the
plains and left long crimson trails, as of blood,
behind them. Wild strawberries are abundant
in every part of the Red River valley; but on
the fertile plateau known as the Pembina noun
tain, remote from every human settlement, they
grow with luxuriance which Is simply aston
ishing, and, so far as we know, unrivalled. 1t
is the only region where we ever met with the
bush strawberry, and the plant seems there to
take the upright form in the very pride of its
exuberant fruitfuness as if 1t disdained to creep
along the earth with its scarlet crown of glory"

Speech, a witty Frenchman once said, was
given to man to enable him TO conceal his
thought. Both written and spoken language
sometimes, through negligence or unskillful-
ness, Internationally serves this purpose; but
it usually happens that those who cannot write
legibly can at least make themselves heard
when they speak, and those who cannot speak
can write. To be able to do neither is unfortu-
nate, especially for statesman. This seems
70 oe the SAD predicament Of Lord Lyttelton, a
britsh peer. He made speech in the house
oil lords, which was reported in the London
Times to the extent of about half column.
The editor of the Times, which brides itself
with some reason, upon its accuracy, was an
noyed at receiving the next day letter
from the noble lord, making eight correc-
tons in the report. The corrections were
published, of course, and the annoyance only
found partial expression in an explanatory
paragraph to the effect that, If the readers of the
Times could but hear Lord Lyttelton speak
their only wonder would be that he could be re-
ported at all. Wbereat another London paper
says; ''If our readers could but sec Lord Lyttel-
tons writing their wonder would be that the
compositors could ever print his explanation"
Among the other stories told of this great man,
who Is much interested in education, aud main
lains that Intelligence should be condition of
me suffrage, is that in the house Of lords lately
ne sent up notice in writing that lie should
propose thai no man be allowed to vote who
eonia notwR his name clearly The notice
was deelphered at the cost of much patient la.
Dor, but the signature remained obstinateIy il.

How A MYTH GREW IN IRELAND.-The
trustworthiness of oral tradition, when it is not
checked by authentic records, is curiously illus.
trated (says the London Daily News) by a state
ment which Prof Fraser makes in the life of
Bishop Berkeley, appended to the collected edi-
ton of the works Of that ilustrious philosopher
which has Just been issued from the Clarendon
Press at Oxford. Berkeley, as the least meta.
physical reader knows, from Byron's lines, and
from DR.. Johnson's empirical disproof, was an
immaterialist, in precisely what sense and
under what conditions, it would be superfluous
here to define, as his philosophic system was
designed to clear away everything which inter
posed between the divine mind and created in
telligences. 1t was framed so far as it was not
speculatively disinterested, in defense of that
religion in which his whole nature was STEPPED
and in the practical service in which he exhb-
tied, as pope's line testi6es, every virtue under
heaven
What have the Irish peasantry of his native
district of Kilkenny made of the philosophers
doctrine, life and character They have a ira
ditlon, Professor Frazer says, that Berkeley lin
MS youth kept school in the nelghboIhood,
and taught his scholars that there was no spirit,
but that when the body died the man was ami
Inflated. He used, they added, to make the boys
leap over the school benches till they were bruis
ed and bled, and then explain that, after the
Diood al run out there was an end of them" "
II Berkeley hadllived in the dark ages, and if
his writings had persisted while rumor of his
phhosophic fame had survived, tradition might
nave preserved his name as that of natural
list, an atheist and brutal tyrant.
The Irish peasants Of Kilkenny have heard
tnat berkeley was great philosopher, who did
not believe that there are body and a soul in
man; and as they could not conceive any one
not believing in the body, they have inferred
that he did not believe in the soul. The teacher
of system becomes the village schoolmaster,

is instructive. II shows how little reliance is
to be placed upon even recent tradition; and
how rapidly myth may spring up based upon
a precise inversion of the fact. The process by
which the poet Virgil was converted by the su-
pershtion of the middle ages into dark magi-
clan, and many other transformations as extra
ordinary, receive light from this Irish tradition.
