who cares little for the subject Of debate or Ills

The Infections OF his voice are managed with e1-

Don't you see
We publish, in this number Of our paper, en-
original story from Edmund Yates, the celebrated
English author and humorist, who, by the way,
is now in this country delivering highly divert
ing. as we'll as instructive lectures. We know it
is an original story, for b1r. Yates isn't in the
habit Of writing anything else but original
stories. 1t would bs no more possible for Ed
mund Yates to writo o "selectel story than it
would bo for is to write ono Of his novels-that
is to cay. for the first time. # novel had to be
written the second timo, ire think ne could get
away with it, unless the original was destroyed:
Now, this original story Of 1lr. Yates, which will
be found on our first page, must have cost some
English magazine (who, We are extremely NOR
tiled to say, got hold Of it before We did), eey-
eral hundred pounds sterling. We get it with
out paying cent!
So you see, although Saturday Might has been
running only little over three months, we es-
timate that We have already saved oyer $780,
600 by allowing the magazine or other perioai-
cal to publish our original articles first. And if
re keep on at tina. rate, at the end of ten years
We will have saved enough to enable US to retire
on prince1y fortune. Oh! Wo know how to
print newspaper full Of original matter and
make money at it.
So you see, my rural friend, ambitious to sell
original articles to US, it would be object for
us to enter into negotiation with you. Eeside
ali that, if We reslly desired your artielea we
could steal them from your home paper. Let us

COLONEL Royall, in command at Grant; Lieutenant Kelley, stationed at that post; F. l.. Austin, Post Trader; and MT. Jacobs, Indian Agent, were in town this week and returned to-day to their respective stations. Colonel Royall and MT. Jacobs are working in harmony to- gether and are using every exertion, to inaugurate such a system on the Reservation as will prevent Indians from being fed and at the same time allowed to raid upon the settlements. This is the great difficulty to be sur mounted iD managing the reservation system, and the people now feel that they have men in charge who are honestly trying to do their duty in- stead of drinking whisky and slan- dering them as has been the case here tofore by those in charge. There are now $50 Indians more on the reserYa- tion than ever before.

GOVERNOR Stafford, Major Brown and E. N. Fish returned from Camp Crittenden day before yesterday. They came by the upper Santa Cruz settlements and visited all the settlers in the Sonoita and Santa Cruz valleys. Major Brown has done all that was in his power to give them protection, and 1t is now the united determina- tion to try and hold the country until the crops are harvested, and in the mean time General Crook will do all in his power to so arrange his forces as to avoid the necessity of abandoning the country. All feel confident that he will do all that human energy can do, and whether the country south of Tucson has to be abandoned or not, no one can or. will ask more.

Now that 6 legal way is pro- vided to solicit cash, its procurement is assured. Undoubtedly New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, or even San Francisco and other cities would under like circumstances, be as deeply interested and liberal as Phil adelphia, but none could be more so, and the special fitness of the selection cannot be questioned by any fair man. Arizona has much to gain by entering into the merits of the Ex- hibition with practical zeal and in- telligence, and iberality correspond ing to her ability. J. w.
