Sale by Sample.

The United States Supreme court on We'd
nesday decided a case of much mercantile in
terest, the right of selling by sample by unli-
censed non-resdents. The question came up
appealed from the c.. P. of Baltimore, where
the defendant had been convicted the court
ruling that the State law forbiddng such
transactions was competent, since Congress has
no power of regulating the internal traffic of
any State. The plaintiff appealed from this
decision on the ground that the Maryland law
clashes with that control Of commercial affairs
that was entrusted by the several States to
Congress in the Constitution, and at the same
time discrimnates injuriously between the citi-
zens of different States. The Maryland deci-
sion was sustained; thus establishing the lesali-
ty of laws everywhere forbidding sale by sam
pie by non-residents without license. The
subject has long been ssel.-RidhmOnd

A NV IDEA.-Some time early last Spring,
Rev. DIR. C. J. Gibson, pastor Of Grace Church,
introduced into the Sunday School six grains
of corn to each Of the $50 children in attend

plant it, and to send in the proceeds-the same
to be appropriated to the cause of foreign mis-
sions. The corn was recently delivered, and
was found to amount to about five barrels

worthy, was derived from the Williamsburg
Sunday School. 1t may be again adopted
with like good results.-Peiersbwg Iader. Is.

THE Deseret News (Salt Lake) o+

THE Deseret News (Salt Lake) ot March II, had the following item, to which the attention of our readers is called. We learn that Gehrenbeck was well known in central Arizona. Where Is he now?
 Herman Gehrenbeck, a German, formerly resident of Prescott, Ari- zona, from which place he moved to Fort Mojave, from thence to St. George, Utah, and, in 1866, to th1s city where he was last heard from by his parents. In letter to them, in the above year, he stated that he was about to start for his home, in Ger many, since which time no tidings have been heard of him. Any per- son who was acquainted with him or can give any information concerning him will confer a favor by com municating with this office.
Arizona citizen., 1871-05-13
the best skilled person with a rife we

ever knew-is 8 very Nimrod as a hunter and can catch mess of fish with any professional in the land. Wh5n on a scout. he can live on three meals in one day or one meal in three days as contentedly as an Indian, whose character he has at his fingers ends in its narrowest and broadest con- ception. He nevertheless insists that the more he learns of their ''ways that are dark" &c., the less he seems to know the Indian for certain. He has great respect for the native ability of the native, and has as tender regard for his welfare as Grant could desire.
 There are various ways perhaps of making peace with savages as. with civilized people-the most perfect peace being generally effected on earth as it was ill heaven, by the most per feet war. No man lives who has a keener sense of justice to all races and conditions, or who tries more to do justice on all occasions, than Crook.
 He is man who will t ike all respon- sibility in this Indian business.
 Should the Apaches capture his ami mals, which they would be bound to more or less do, he would procure oth- CT animals at once if obtainable ill the country, and take the chance of Gov ernment allowing his claim would follow the enemy out of the country and fight him on foreign soil, if suc- cess were to be assured no other way. His favorite policy is to get one part of the enemy to fighting the other, and the first thing he will do in Arizona will be to organize as perfect system of scouts as possible-whether of Papa goes, Pimas, Navajoes or Apaches, and we shall not be surprised if the Indians of Arizona are made to nearly settle the difficulty themselves. Crook is very companionable man, though one of the most earnest and honest, and no citizen need feel sort of guilty of all impertinence when in his pres ence or when asking him a civil ques- ton. If he should find 1t necessary to disagr>e with a contractor, he will not fly off the handle and write @ fam ing report in tawdry rhetoric az tinst mankind and affairs in general. There will be as little said as possible about business on all occ ,sions. There IS not one grain of shoddy in his phy- sical and mental makeup, or in his deeds. He will like everybody just as we'll, if they never ask him to champagne and brass-band accompa- niments, for he drinks nothing stron- ger than water, nor ''uses the weed, ," while his actions will speak for him.
 It is hoped that he may live and have health to flight the battle through" in his own way. There will be no question about the peace that will follow. It will doubtless be the final one with the American Indian, for it seems to be narrowed down as If Arizona were the "last ditch.' We feel the greatest personal satisfaction in the compliment paid him by the President, in singling him out for the occasion. This feature of his assign ment is certainly extraordinary, and shows that thert is yet a God in Israel.
