Prof j, D. Butler.-A lady having two low

but an imbecilc. When asked the reason OF
her choice she said "A man who is poor

Tool he never can get over it,
She is good model for farmer. Let

.SersIe Surgical Operation. Edward
Grewer, medical student of the University
of Pennsylvania, reports the detail of very
severe surgical operation. Mr. Israel Jones,
formerly Of Wilmington, now resident of
Chester Co., on the 4th of October last, un-
derwent the terrible ordeal of having the
left half Of the bones of the face removed
from the nose and eye, to the ear, including
the cheek bones, palate, half of the upper
Jaw and large portion of the lower jaw
The tumor of bone and flesh taken away was
larger than the largest goose egg. The blood
flowed freely from the enlarged rupels and
was mostly arrested by the heated iron. Mr..
Jones has entirely recovered, from present
appearance DIR. Charles b. Greene OF

cN THE WAg-PATH AGAIN.

At Msricopa Wells, 8 few days 1 since, we were informed by MT. Wilson, foreman of the telegraph
 construction party, who arrived there, that information had l reached them the day previous, that 400 T0nto Apaches had lief,
 the Verde reservation with their
 arms and ammunitiOn-making
 in all 700 from that one camp who
 have left to once moro enjoy their
 flendish amusement of scalping
 their white benefactor5. Gen.
 Crook, with his little army, is
 again in the field in search of the
 pets. Should he again succeed
 in making prisoners of them we
 hope the terms of peace vii! be
 such as to leave them without
 arms and ammunition, The h. dians-i. c., those who have made war against the white settlers of ArizonS-like other enemies of our Government, when capituiat. ed, should be treated as prisoners of war, and not at guesis of Un- cle Sam. If Gen. Crook has the whole management Of this busi- meas, as we are informed he has, we hope his last experience has 1 taught him that no dependence 1 can be put upon them.

THE TELEGRAPH.

We are informed upon good au.
 thority, that the line of telegraph
 from San Diego through Prescott
 will te completed within twenty
 days. A party is now at Marico-
 pa Wells putting up the poles and stretching the wire in this direction, to meet the party from Yuma. The line from Prescott to inc Wells will be completed ill about two weeks more. Another party, we understand, will short ly commence constructing the line from this point to meet the one coming from San Diego. When all this is completed, large forces will be put between Mari copa Wells and Tucson.

A BLESSING.

While St Maricopa Wells, on our homeward journey, we met Manuel BaEela, Q tearnster from Mesiila, with large train loaded with government freight for r. N. Fish & O., contractors. He was then delayed at Maricopa re- pairing ihe damage sustained by his wagnl-s on the road from this place, which amounted 10 $290. In conversation with Mir. Barela, we learned that he had been in. duced by Mir. Fish to come to Yuma 10 haul freight al two cents per pound per 100 miles on the represen tation of fine roads, plenty grazing, and no need for grain to feed. This last item cost him jus! 10000 pounds of barley-the other the reader knows, besides nearly one weeks more time then he had calculated in which to make the trip. His intention is to enter suit against Mr. Fish for damag,s sustained by his nlisrapfesenta- tions. After reheareing the bless ing he intended to pour upon the derote2 head of the cheap con- tractor upon his arrival at Tucson, he said that aside from his mis. haps, he would be about $50C out of pocket. Take warning, ye c.ssap iseightsrs. A

&AAtS& e 16hAoAO oA dOpAS h>S " U weeks, we find ourself once more surrounded with the turmoiis of newspaper life. Our last visiting place was
 TUCSON,
 the capital of our Territory, where wc met several friends, among whom were Gov. Stafford, Dr. Lord, Gen. McCafry, Hiram Stevens, Esq, and others,to whom we here return our thanks for the many attentions shown. The town itself looks rather dull al present., on account of some twelve hundred souls being absent to the feast at Magda!ena. The business, however, (we mean among the larger business houses) seemed to us to be very good. The general appearance of the Place is apt to impress one favor |bly. It is by far the largest, and, the same time, the poorest yed-out town in Arizona. The tets are pery narrow, and very poked, and, to the discyedit of e village council be it said, rery rty.
 Among other rprofta6'e business ried in Tucson is that of smng-
 E goods from Sonora. One buld scarcely believe, unless he W it as we did, the amount Of ruggled cigars and tobacco that 1ters the town nearly every ght. Among others in this siness, we met an old Yuman gre during our stay, aud when greeted him, he would not ognize us; "he had never been l Yuma; had lived in Sonora for 7ears, and this was his first 1 1t across inc line in ten years" n were so well convinced that 1 was the man. that shortly af- ward, in 8 private room, we l ed him if he had any more | Ts for sale. as we had been in: A4d thatsu was his business. .

 ON THE ROAD
 from Tucson we experienced but very little inconvenience. The line of stages run by our good old friend and "stage man," J. A. Moore, surpasses all others in the Territory-at least through the portions we had the pleasure of travelling. His stock IS unsurpas- sed and his drivers are of that kind which can always be trust ed-suber and careful. The sta lions are we'll kept, and the hun gry traveller is always sure Of finding 8 "square" meal where ever he may stop,
 MARICOPA WELLS. This favorite station is kept by | the proprietor of the line-Mr. 1 Moore-and is the best in inc Ter ritory. It was our good fortune to l lay over al this place both going to and coming from Tucson. | Here we found not only "a good and well furnished table, but also very kind and attentive people to the wants ot the weary travel CT. II shall be many years before we can forget the home-like treat ment we received at the hands of NIT. Moore's interesting family. Aside from all this, Maricopa Wells has 8 Well-stocked store, bar-room, billiard saloon, wagon black smith and paint shops, and a large corral-ail for the accom- of travellers generally. To the travelling public geher- ally it might be well to say that from the Wells to Tucson the stage accommodations are far sn- perior to those between San Die go and that place. The coaches are large cnes and from Florence to the Capital four horses are driven, and the time made is far

The Interior Department.

The Secretary Of the Interior, In his annual re-
port regards the situation In the Indian service as
favorable, and as vindication Of the propriety
and practicability OF the humane policy which
was inaugurated at the beginning of President
Grants executive term and which has governed
the department In the transaction Of all business
matters pertaining to the conduct Of Indian affairs
satisfactory progress toward the accomplishment
OF the ends sought TO be attained by this policy
has already been made fully justifying the hope
that 1t will eventually achieve the end In view.
The Secretary recommends that the system of
cash annnties be abolished and that payments to
the Indians be hereafter made in goods and sup
plies.
He suggests that the moneys due the prairie
bands Of Pottawatomies and Kansas Indians be
Invested In Government bonds and placed to the
credit OF said Indians for the purposes Of their
CIVILIZATION, to be used by the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs for that object, both interest and
principal, at such times and In such manner as the
President Of the United States may direct. The
Government should assist the Indians DESTROYS Of
securing permanent homes by donations of stock
and farming implements. The first step toward
the permanent settlement OF the Indians In fixed
homes is the establishment and right enforcement
OF regulations to keep them all upon their rererva-
tons.
The Secretary says the Sioux Nation Is almost
completely surrounded by tribes that are really
friendly 10 The government, and NJ the same time
bitter and hostile to the Sioux. II these friendly
tribes could be literally supplied with improved
FIRE arms and ammunition the present supremacy
OF the sioux might, In few years, be destroyed,
with but little aid from the army
The Secretary refers to the lawlcss condition OF
the Indian Territory. and says II the Ocmulgee
Constitution, with the proposed amendments, Is
not adopted ut the next meeting OF the Indian
Council, and Congress does not deem II advisable
TO erect Territorial Government within the Ter
lritory, he trusts that the necessary legislation
may be obtained to at least provide for the organ
izaion OF court or courts therein under the iurs
diction, so far as the appointment Of judicial on
GERS s concerned, OF the general Government.
The Secystary invites the attention of Congress
TO request from the colony Of Mennonitas resid-
ing In Southern Russia for modification of ex-
listing land laws, In certain particulars, TO enable
them to settle upon our public domain In com
pact colony. The entire area they will probably
require will be about 800, 900 acres.
The Secretary notices the business Of the Land,
Pension and Education Bureaus, railway and geo.
logical surveys, the census, and other subjects
coming within the range Of his Department.

Report of the Commissioner OF the
Land Office.

The report OF the Commissioner Of the General
Land ONCE shows that the number of acres OF
land surveyed during the year ending June 30,
1878, was &c, 4Ss, 132. The amount Of public land
disposed OF during the same period wac 10 030 sos
acres. The number OF Surveyors General has been
increased since 1863 from ten TO seventeen; the
number Of land Offices from dfty.three to ninety,
and the amount Of land annually disposed of from
OO0 to 900 000 acres In regard TO the Oper-
atoms Of the Homestead law, the Commissioner
reports as follows:
The demand for lands by actual settlers under
the Homestead law continues very large. During
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1873, 81 246 pre-
liminary entries were made, covering an area Of
3,752, 347.36 acres The number Of fDal entries
were 1854. being an increase In hnal entries Of
4ii5 over the preceding fiscal year. This law, with
rome slight amendments, would meet all the re-
quirements and necessities Of actual settlers, and
again respectfully renew my recommendation
for complete consolidation Of oil statutes respect
ing settlement rights into general Homestead
law. A bill for that purpose met with favorable
action from both Houses OF the last Congress but
owing TO slight amendment as to the time when
It should take effect BY the House, on the last day
