John Smith, of Mcdowell, seems determin- cd to preserve his name in the annals of the country, though he has no children to name after himself. His liberslity in improving the school house in Phoenix, at his personal expense, as noticed in our Salt River Valley correspondence, in Mondays i,sue, shows that philoprogenitiyeness is a marked trait in his character, and he is bound to help some body's children to get along. If John should be as careful of the wants of a constituency as of the needs of the rising generation in Phoenix, he would make good Delegate to Congress. ~

While hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cattle, sheep, etc, perished in Northern Cali fornia during the late run of rain snd snow, we have yet to learn of any of our stock men suffering lose from our late storms, which have been severe and almost unlocked for. The fact is, Arizona is the best stock country in the Union, outside of Texas, % which our Territory is, in one point, superior we have no cold northers here, as they have in Texas, and no consequent loss. Then, Arizona gras- ses remain good the year around, and, being a mountainous country, covered with timber and brush to a great extent, affords a change of pasture, an even, temperate climate, pure air and good water, of which few of the old States can boast. These things ought to induce stock owners and rsisers to come here at once and make use of the world of grass, etc, that is going to waste.

Merry Christmas 1!

The MINER, on this pleasant Christmas Eve, greets its two thousand patrons and twenty thousand readers, and hopes that such of them as may not be provided with turkeys, chickens, etc, will have some other good dishes upon which to feast, for, since ever so long ago, it has been customary for Christians, whithersoever dispersed around the globe, to honor Christmas--the day upon which Christ came down, in order to save sin ners-by teasting and feeling good, in gen ersl way. -.....-
 Now, there are poor people, even in Ari- zons--people who are not able to procure such as they ought to have to eat and drink upon this day, and it is to them the kind hearted and benevolent among us should turn their attention, as did the Great Being whose coming on earth rich and poor, alike, cele- brste. He ministered to the wants of the poor, and made it the duty of His followers to do likewise.
 Let all, then, who can, see that no neigh. Dor or acquaintance is dissatisfied with his or her lot and luck, tomorrow, when every Christian man, woman and child should feel that ss the earth and the good things thereof are the Lords, they, as his children, are en. titled to share of the good things, the bet ter to enable them to forget, for this once the miseries of the poor of this world, and to think, only, of the next, where all good peo. pie are believed to be on an equal footing.

Can't say that we arc sorry for Mir. Attor- ney- General Williams. He ought to have had better luck than to have been rejected by the Senate. But, he can stand the rejec- tion if the President will only keep him in the position of Attorney General of the United States. But, again, can President Grant stand up sgainst public opinion, and keep Mir. Williams, now that the Republic, through its Senate, has rejected him for Chief Justice We guess not.

The lnyo (Csl.,) Independent feels little uncomfortable over the fattering reports from the mines of this Territory, and insists that Inyo affords better field for mining operations than even the Wallspai district. We recognize the right of newspapers to commend their local resources, when it can be done with justice, but we look upon this matter as q piece of extraordinary guess work, and nothing more

Last mail brought us tbe Yuma Sentinel of the 18th inst. It touches us very gingcrly for words "spoken in debate" and almost wonders why we condescended to notice re- cent untruthful, uncalled for article, of per sonal nature, which appeared in it's columns. Well, it was, ofoourse, aconde.ceDsion on our part, bot 1t was not the first time that duty to ourself almost forced us to chide pulling editorial iniant-one who, like the editor of the Sentinel, had been treated SO well on his first entry into the profession, that he immc- diately lost his balance wheel, became intoxi- cated with his (little) journalistic greatness, swollen like toad, and, like quarrelsome Irishman, went around dragging his coat be- hind him, almost begging some person to step on the tail of it. This disposition we saw in the editor of the Sentinel, and, ss he had come whining and snvelling at us for not having neglected our business and walked couple | of miles to send him "fery-winged" dis patch, in answer to "gloriously worded one from himself, we thought our time had come to bring him to his senses, ere he could have time to stumble against some othe

One of our dispatches, yesterday, leads us to believe that Congress has restored to itself the privilege of franking, and, we believe, to newspapers, the right of free circulation in the counties where published, with, perhaps, free (of postage) exchanges, all Of which, if true, will not, in the least, elate us, for we could have made an honest living without any "fAvors" of this kind from Congress.

Unlucky day was it for the Spaniards when they butchered the poor, helpless Virginus captives, as, since that day, the Cubans have taken captive and killed more than enough to atone for the lives taken by order of the brute, Burriel. This kind of warfare is, of course, to be regretted but Spain, herself, inaugurated 1t, and should not complain, aloud, concerning it's barbarty.

A pioneer in Northern Arizona he w.. well known throughout the Territory, and the news of his death will occasion profound regret among bis numerous friends throughout this Territory and in California.
