odate all who were ready to put in crops this season. It will be con- menced again soon after harvest and pushed through to completion. There will be water rights for sale here suf- ficient to supply at least one hundred and fifty ranches, and we hope to see that number of farms located and worked during the next year. If con- tractors will not reduce the price of grain sold to the Government to so low figure that they cannot afford to pay the farmer @ living price, it will be done. Farmers cannot bear the immense outlay necessary to secure water for their ranches, and pay the price necessarily charged for supplies, and then furnish the grain at Califor- mia prices. w.

Munificent Premiums.

The publishers of Our Preside Friend, 'the new eight page illustrated, literary and fireside weekly journal, published in Chicago, evidently mean to secure for it, speedily, a very large circulation. The premiums they offer are, indeed, munifc4nt, and the list is large and varied. The first grand premium is $2O,OOO in United States Currency. Five thousand premiums are to be given to the subscribers for 1872; and the lowest offered is worth in retail the subscription price of the paper. Thus while the paper is worth the subscription price, an opportunity is presented of securing valuable premium. The publishers are Waters, Eberts & Co. 7S3 State street, Chi cago. Specimen copies and Premium Lists sent free on application.

WE reproduce the following taken from the proceedings of the California Legislature, regarding Indian affairs in Arizona, and by way of preface will remark that with gery few ex- captions, the press of the entire Pa cifc States and Territories, as well as many of the large papers. throughout the country, have expressed the same views:
 The feeling and belief is universal on the part of the people of this State, and we believe of the Pacific slope, that when General Crook was sent to Arizona he was the right man in the right place; that he is as humane as he is energetic, and that if allowed sufficient means and given the discre- tion to which his experience III the management of Indian affairs entitle him, and not interfered with in his operations, he will in brief period arrest this reign of terror and blood, and give security to the long suffering people of the Territory.

THE ELECTION IN MAINE.

While the vote of North Carolina
is being counted, Maine becomes the
all absorbing object of General
Grants solicitude. Toward Maine
are turned the eyes of the otficehold-
ers' ring. Secretary of the Treasury
Boutwell, has transferred himself and
the peoples greenbacks into Maine.
Henry Wilson, the Republican can
didate for Vice President, and the
great hater of foreign-born citizens,
has gone up to Maine. From every
d~irectionthe Administration speakers
and colonizers are io~urneying toward
Maine. There is to be an election
in that State Oh the ninth of Septem-
Der, and General Grants people are
very anxious to ecure what they call
an Endorsement of the Generals Ad-
ministration. They wish to carry
Maine, and yet from their manner
and anxiety one would suppose they
entertained serious doubts of success.
1t ppears to US the General is yield
to groundless fears in this matter.
Let us look at the vote of the State
of Maine for some years back: For
several years past Maine has cast a
majority for the Republican ticket.
In 1S6OLincoln's majority was "a, 704.
The following are the Republican
maiorities from that year down to
the election Of last year: 1861, 16,-

The Boston Daily Advertiser, al
lnding to Lotta's trip to Europe, says:
The many American friends of that

ular of the slanger. the ''boss num-"

worldly sounds CT music emanating
from the apartments of the Mar
chioness." and upon visiting the
same find her with disheveled tresses,
capering nimbly about the chamber
to the lascivious pleadings of the old
banjo. These things are not improb-
able, and the idea of Lotta's soldering
down into a meek visaged. slow-mov-

for many of her admirers to enter

A party of men from this city
brought to the city last Sunday a
bagfull of what is supposed to be
gold and silver ore, from an old shaft
formerly worked by Mexicans in the
San Mateo Mountains, twelve miles
from San Francisco. The former
]proprietors of the mine had sunk a
shaft about three hundred feet deep,
ascending and descending from the
mine by means of steps cut in the
side. The ore is said to assay 500
to the ton. An incorporated COM
pany will take charge of the mine
and work itthoroughly.-[S F. Call.

been informed by an Iowa gentle
man, a staunch Republican, and one
who has been travelling ove that
State during the last six months,
that at least nine out of every ten OF
the Germans would support Greeley

1868 was about 10000. The Repub-

\ short time since Colonel Strong
denied the rumor that the cotton

and was being destroyed by the raw

President Grant has taken SIS, 900

President Grant has taken SIS, OOO
from the National Treasury to buy
certain documents from the Confed-
crate archives, and yet when, just
before the adjournment of the recent
Congress, the claim of DR.. Best. of
Ky, a loyal man, vas allowed, both
Houses passing a bill for his indem-
MITIGATION as a simple act of justice,
President Grant vetoed the bill.
Why? Simply for the reason that if
he allowed indemnity in this single
case thousands of other claimants
equally entitled to indemnity would
apply for it, Came ever such an ar
gument from such a source before?
And o a few Confederate dOcU-
ments are purchased for $4,000 in
order ''to prevent fraudulent claims
upon the Z. S. by pretended loyal
lists" The President has declared
that he could not allow even the just
claims of acknowledged loyalists-
why. then, should he be concerned
about the fraudulent claims of pre-
tended loyalists?

The New York Sun calls attention
to the fact that Immediately before
the election Ill North Carolina the
Grant organs claimed that they were
surely going to carry the State by
from twelve thousand to fifteen
thousand majority, ecure five of the
eight members of Congress, choose
a Legislature that would return Pool
to the Senate, and thus strike the
keynote to the Presidential cam
paign. This was the pledge they
put on record. How have they re-
deemed it? They have chosen but
three members of Congress, they
have lost the Legislature and conse-
quently the United States Senator,
and by fraud, bribery and coercion
have elected their Governor by a
handful OF votes. The substantial
results of the struggle are all on the
side of the supporters of Greeley,
whose friends, thoroughly
aroused, will organize for the Pres,
idential contest. and give him the
State by a splendid majority in No
vember.

WHY Mr.. COLLINS DOES NOT KEEP
WATCu-DoG.-Iti is reported that Mr.. Col
Inns, of Hartford, regards with disap-
probation the practice of keeping watch
dogs, because he purchased one the
other day and paid the man $5 extra
because he was warranted "vigilant and
certain to hold on when lie once got
grip"
He placed the dog in the front yard that
night and came home late. About quar-
ter past one o'clock Mrs. Collins was sur
prised to perceive her husband ascending
the stairs in haste, and bringing the vigil
ant Watchdog with him.
There was only about pound and half
of Mr.. Collins in the dogs mouth. but still
Mr.. Collins said it was notwithstanding
ly painful-and he would be glad if Mrs
Collins would take monkey-wrench or
something and pry that Watchdog right
off, or blast him away with nitro glycerine
and such things.
The faithful animal was at last killed,
and his head chopped off; but even after
sixteen teeth had been extracted from Mr..
Collins, he always explained when compa-
ny came that he preferred to stand on &C
count of intlammatory rheumatism in his
leg. He says now that the next time he
wants a dog to bay him deep-mouthed well
come home, he will purchase one CT

Ten Hard Dollars.

Those people who are interested in hard
money will perhaps be profited by reading
the following from the Christian Weelly,
by DR.. Spe ding:
My was poor man. A large
and growias family was Dependent an him
for its daily bread. Coming HON, Ir,o, i
neighboring town with ten har '1rcd
dollars in his pocket, he lost them in
light snow. Long and fruitless was the
search for them. After the snow the search
was renewed with the same result. The
snow fell and melted again for whole
fresh in onr family circle; for silver dol
lar to poor man in those days was larger
than full moon.
"About mile away lived another father
of family in similar circumstances. He,
too, knew how much dollar cost dug out
of the heart of rocky farm. At least once
or oftener every week for forty years he had
occasion to pass our door, giving and re-
ceiving the common neighborly salutations,
and every time with weight increasingly
heavy on his conscience. But all such
pressures have their limits; and when that
is reached the crash is greater for the sever
ity of the strain. In this instance it was as
when an old oak rends its body and breaks
its limbs in falling.
"One day, completely broken down, he
came to my father in tears, confessing Il
found your dollars lost in the snow forty
years ago. They have been hard dollars
to me, and 1 can carry them no longer. |
am come to return them, and ask your for.
giveness, and as soon as can l will pay
the interest,"
"The scene was like that when Jacob
and Esau met over the ford Jabbok.
He did not live long enough to pay the
interest, but quite long enough to furnish
a practical comment on the text: The
spirit of II man will sustain his intirmity,
but wounded spirit who can bear ?" Who
will say that conscience, though slumber-
ing in this life, will never awake to pun
ish the offender in the life to Gomez ?"
If any man wants ha,d money, let him get
it dishonesty, and he will find it the hard
est money that he ever saw-hard to keep,
hard to think of and hard to answer for
in the judgment day.
