 remained SO until after the happening of tha
 famous rumpus in Heaven, when Old Nick the father of carpet -baggers, was taken, un cercmonou>ly, by the nape of the neck, ant seat of the unmentionables, and pitched, heac
 foremost, upon the Earth. AIighting upor
 the top of our great Mt. San Francisco, ana bursting its crust, he made straight trai
 for the internal regions, which he found,
 surging. boiling, blubbcring mass of ingredi-
 ents. In his headloEg fight, he forgot to take with him the hole through which he
 had entered, and feeling aggrieved at what
 he considered his i'll treatment in Heaven, the
 old scaIlawag directed his internal weapon ! fiery lava-to belch forth, through the stove pipe hole he had made, and destroy every
 thing it might encounter in its pathway. It did destroy men and things, and cover large
 slices of of the fair face of Arizona with black and damning matter, which, cooling ost form ed ugly, pock-markcd dornicks, now known and detesied by the name of "ngger-heads." Putting thcir black heads together, those "nigger-heads " pettioned the old fend, at whose bidding the material of which they were formed had been ejected, to create a race of beings to people the mdt pGis bad country) formed of them, and Old Nick, not having the Iower to create men and women, called lustily upon Heaven, for bad people, with whom to stock his dominion. Then were cast out shos. " angels" who, for having sided with the Old Boy, had, until the time of this call, served in the guardhousc of lIea ven. From among them Old Nick selected the best, passing them in, one by one, thro' the hole; and when the worst of the gang tried to rush in, the lava poured out, driving them, rcd hot, before it. From these reject cd imps sprang the race ofre deamons which now peoples Arizona--the best "f whom, savage or civilized, are 10 better shan they ought to be.
 This was rather bad beginning for our Territory, but God again smiled upon her through His sun; rain and snow descended, and, with the air, dissolved, wore away and washed down the rough ashlars of the eoun- try, until soil was formed, out of which sprang grass, shrubs and the stately trees which we now see adorning many mountains and valleys of the Territory. The red-hot people of the country progressed with it. They lost their appetite for fire, sulphur and and they might have starved had not some SpaniardS come among them and ,..ii7;aa .hhs..a illustrations of tue manner in which life might be sustained by the use of animal food. This gave the savagcs taste for blood, which they retain to the present day. Wild animals soon became scarce, and then the red men fell to stealing and eating the animals of thc Spaniards, to the infinite disgust of the latter, who first used their tongues, with the hope of persuading their red brethren to dcsist. Tongue answered the purpose for while, until once upon time, the savagcs stole upon party of sleeping Spaniards, and, cutting their tongues out, had a choice feast upon what they considered the Spaniards' best weapon. Other Spaniards getting wind of this tongue-gashing, sallied forth to give the savages a whip-lashing, but turing the time the red men had been going 10 school to the Spaniards, they learned some points, and among which was the use of ar ow points-which they did use in such vay as to spread dismay among the Span ards The latter fled the coutry, leaving the ed man ,he head man. in fact the only man n it, until we Americans came and fell heir i O the takers of hair Now, Americans like l O be barbered-not barbarously, as the InGi- m barbers barber, but after the mode of civ lzed people, excluding the Chinese-and it is not to be wondered at that they kicked | agans, the bricks of the red aritstes. Many, however, have had to submit to cruel treat 1 mcnt at the hands of Indian doctors, and were, for time, afraid to holler," for fear of Vincent Colyer. But Vincent came here himself, took it for granted that the opera tion was not a pleasurable one, got out of the country as fast as possible; and although he has sworn and still swears that he has tasted of Indian "crow" and likes it, his protracted ,I;seEce at the East leads us to infer that he has gone hack on his rcd brethren; in fact means to cheat them out of the glory and distinction it would confer upon the whole tribe were Vinccnt's hair to ornament single lodge in one of our vast vilGernesscs.
 Vincent, "you know how it is, yourself" in A6Eesa; you knew it while you were here, but, we fear you will never admit the truth until after death. shen you will have to come out here and descend spto that hole through wheA yeur "patror saint," Old Nick, descended, when, like you, after falling savagelv upon poor Arizona. he fell from power and position, to be hated. despised and accursed of all good men.
