SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.-Grasshoppers, in
clouds, are destroying the crops in Los Angeles
county.
The Tucson, Arizona, Citizen, of the Sd inst,
has the following:
"The suffering and exaspelated people have
commenced to form retaliation on the Indians.
Their patience has been remarkable; but the
killing of four good citizens of San Pedro by In
dians, fed and otherwise provided for at Camp
Grant, exhausted it. There is no Indian reserva-
ton at Camp Grant, but the few rowing Apaches
who recently came there promised peace, and
were fed and recruited, and from thence went
out to steal and murder.
Having tracked the guilty ones to their base
of supplies two weeks ago. the citizens deter
mined to make their power felt. On the 2Sth OF
April, a few of them, aided by one hundred
Papago Indians, started on a mission of revenge
and self-protection. Early on the morning Of
the Both, they dashed into the Indian camp, kill
ing eighty-five savages and taking twenty-eight
children prisoners. A horse, recently stolen
from farmer named Smith, of Tucson, was
captured, land some unbroken packages of centre
primed rifle cartridges and breast pin worth
$500 that belonged to woman recently killed
at Tubac, were found on these Indians, making
it certain that they are the same Indians that
killed l.. b. Wooster and the woman on his farm
Certain citizens of Arizona will no longer wit
ness the murder Of their fellows, and the steal
ing of their property, and tamely endure it.

BLACKBERRIEs AT MoBILE.-The stranger
visiting Mobile just now-if he goes into the
suburbs-mus feel lively sense of one of the
inestimable benefits accruing to society from
the abolition of slavery--that is, the develop
ment Of blackberry picking as an industrial
pursuit We have nothing comparable to it,
unless it be the cat fishery. The citizens and
citizenesses of the African persuasion go into
the blackberry business with a zeal and energy
worthy of a grander cause. From early morn
till dewy eve, they gather the luscious fruit into
baskets and buckets Of all sorts and sizes, with
truly commendable perseverance, showing
what great results may be achieved by repeti-
ton of small industres-for the teeming basket
grows to its ultimate completion, berry by
berry They do not steal-for the blackberry is
free fruit-but they pick perpetually. 1t
would almost seem as il the blackberry crop
had been developed into its present extraordi-
nary dimensions with special reference to the
exigencies of the man and brother The war
which freed him provided also the blackberry
at least around and about Mobile-or enlarged
and extended its supply. The forts, redoubts
and other earthworks thrown up around the
city during the "timcs that tried mems soul"
are now the source from which springs the pre-
sent profusion of blackberries. Register,

CALL ABOUT THE RoBBERYP One James W.
Barnes, Sutton shoemaker, was caught last
evening stealing hoes, shovels, forks and bags
from John D. Lovell's agricultural store, and
taken to the police station by officers Harris and
Cook. He had bottle in his pocket, and
drunken air that led him to bungle the theft in
most understandable manner, however much
practice he may previously have had. His
wagon stood in the rear of the store, and he
seemed to think that he could load up with the
stolen implements and drive off with impunity.
He thought wrong.
LITTLE CUD TO CHEw.-People who violate
the lawn many instances-have strange ideas
about the way in which it brings disgrace upon
their friends. For instance: man is fined in
the municipal court for drunkenness and as
saut and battery, pays his fine, and starts for
the newspaper office, with plea on his whiskey-
scented breath that his name be omitted from
the regular record of the court proceedings, "for
the sake of his friends" This is a thought that
always works into the fellows head after the
affair is over. He never once thought, it
would seeem, that his Friends" would
suffer by his getting drunk and act
ing like a fool or a demon-or both;
by his absence from wife, while his money
lasts, andithen a return that only brings fresh
trouble to her. He suddenly conceives a re-
markable desire not to have the feelings of his
friends shocked by the little statement of truth
that tells what his punishment was. He could
abuse them when drunk, heap shame upon them
by reeling around the street and mixi2g in
drunken brawls; but his name must not be men
tioned-oh no; that would never do; he has re-
spectacle relatives who would suffer, although
he doesn't care so much on his own account.
Those, also, who sell liquor contrary to a law
understood as well by themselves as any one,
and to whom the penalties for violation are well
known, have tender regulations, too, that must
be considered in connection with their respecta-
BILE friends, whom they wish not to bring into
disgrace. But the fact that they had respecta-
BILE friends, with fine feelings and good charac-
tiers, did not prevent them from going on in the
liquor traffic, with the chances of arrest and
punishment fully known. Since laws exist,
officers arc paid for enforcing them, courts are
maintained for the purpose of ascertaining
the guilt or innocence of accused persons, and
newspapers are published for the purpose
of recording the events of the day, there would
seem to be more sense in thinking of their
friends and the disgrace beforehand, than to
come sneal1ing around to newspaper office
afterwards, full of bad whiskey, dolorous whim-
perings, and a ridiculously bloated sense of the
stock of good character to be ruined after being
publicly drunk, publicly fined, and publicly
disgracin0 their friends.
