RELIGIos IN CARps.-The following is perhaps old, but to many it will be new, and as it is quite curiosity in it's way, we give it as we find it:
 In Glasgow, Scotland, during the war, there was company of soldiers attending church on Sabbath morning. Soon after being seated one of them, named Richard Lee, took from his pocket pack of cards and having folded his overcoat across his knees, he commenced displaying his cards before him, whSn the sergeant of the company re- quested him to put them away. He refused to obey him and the sexton of the church WAS called on, who arrested him and took him to the nearest magistrate The magis- trate said to him: 'Well, sir, you are ar rested for playing cards during divine service. What have you to say f''
 Much, l hope, sir, if your honor will al- low me to state. have been on the march for six weeks, and have lost my Bible, and since then have substituted my cards.n
 Explain yourself sir" replied the magis- trate.
 "If your honor will allow me the use of your desk l will , and taking his cards, he spread them out saying "When l see the ace it reminds me of but one God. When see the deuce, that is Father and Son. The tray is Father, Son and Holy Ghost The four EvaDgelists that were sent to preach-- Mathew, Luke, Mark and John. The five spot IS five Virgins; there were ten, but five were shut out. The six spot is the six days that God made the world. The seventh is the seventh day he rested and hallowed it. The eighth is the eight righteous people whom he saved during the hood-Noah and his wife, his three sons and their wives. The nine is the nine lepers who were cleanscd There were ten but one never returned thanks. The ten is the Ten Commandment. that thou shalt obey, &c. The queen i, the Queen of Sheba She was as wise wo man as Hing Solomon was man. She sent forty girls and forty boys, dressed in girls at tire, to the King, to tell the boys Som th, girls. The King sent them to wash wher the boys washed to their wrists and the girl, to their eIbows--hence he told the boy, from the girls"
 "But hold on," says the magistrate, seem ing deeply interested. "You have missed the Jack"
 "Well, your honor, don't wish to offend any one, but the greatest Jack or knave as call it, Cooking around) is the sexton whc brought me here" E..s.B BGY
 "That will do, sir, that will do," replied the magistrate' you are excused"
 Thanks, your honor, and will explain you farther that you will find fifty-two card in the pack, which is the number of weeks il the year, and in them there are thirteeI tricks taken, which is the number of week in quarter The twelve picture cards i the number of months in the year, and your honor has time to play little game Pll show you how to find 365 spots in tn pack, aspot for each day in the year.

British Hatred Toward America

lFSom Henry Wsersons letter to the Courier Journal
 The dormant hatred felt for America in the hidden heart of England is not without its cause. That this hatred does exist, no man who has taken the trouble to peer beneath the surface of things, and to see them as they are, can doubt. The toadies and turf hunters who come over to England in search of literary and social distinction, and who, when called upon to speak at public dinners, pnie about the bonds of union between Eng land and America which grow out of com mon ancestry and common language, are of course delighted with everything they see and hear. To be sure they have good time. The English have reduced their hospitality to science, and they are ready enough to patronize the American who will flatter their vanity and listen to their conceited gabble. They like him in proportion as he elongates bis voweis and stammep out his words They win take him to their heart of hearts if he confines his knowledge of American in stitutions to the Mormons and the Modocs considers the English method of riding the most graceful in the world, and eats kidneys In the purest form of fiattery, imitation, he can give but one higher illustration-if he is little brusque to ladies, he will prove him self at once hero and Briton But, at bottom, the English dislike the Americans They know that the United States must al ways be hostile power to them.

HAVE STIRRED THEM UP.--0ur recent ar-
 ticle, pointing out the lack of push and busi-
 ness foresight of the citizens of Los Angeles,
 California, has induced the daily Express, of that city, to copy the article and comment upon it. In doing so, the Express gives us credit for correct, friendly motives, all of which is right and proper, as we are, really and truly, friendly to the city and citizens of The Angels, because they and their press have alwayslencouraged our pioneers, and be- cause the city is the first place of importance which, by right, an Arizonan ought to reach in going to San Francisco. And, now, as Los Angeles has railroad and ocean facilities possessed by no other city in Southern Cali fornia, we hope to see her citizens work for such objects as the establishment of tri-week- ly mail service, via HardyyiIle, to Prescott and New Mexico. They ought, too, put on that long-talked os fast freight line Her merchants should court us for our trade, which, even now, is well worth looking after.

Castor Bean Culture.

Now, that our farmers are scratching their heads to think of crops that pay, we dig out of an able article in the Sacramento Record, the following facts concerning this industry An acre, in California, produces from l,9OO to l,spO pounds of the beans, which sell, readily at and # cents per pound. There i, but one factory in the State, yet sufficient beans iO keep it running have never been raised there. One person can take care ot from 10 to l5 acres. Deep, sandy loam IS the kind of soil needed. These general di- rcctons are furnished by the Record:
 The ground should be plowed early in the season, say in January. and narrowed. Flow again in March and pulverize well. Mark of so as to place the bills five or six feet apart each way, leaving a vacant row in about ey- cry six, for a roadway for the wagon in gath ernv. The beans, which should be of the small Illinois variety, should be soaked about twelve hours in slightly tepid water and then planted, three seeds to the bill, about two or two and half inches deep. In well pulverized soil the land may be furrowcd out with blow, the beans dropped in tbe furrow and covered with the blow. It will pay to do the planting well, as in all other crops. When the plants are up and well un- der way they must be tbinned out to one the strongest in the hill The cultivation is the same as for corn. Work with the cult- vator. Keep the weeds down and the soil loose, and use the hoe around the hills The success of the crop depends upon keeping up and maturing, and if irrigation is needed at all, then is the time to apply it.
 PICKING. .... ...  Beans begin 10 ripen about the 1st of Au. gust, and continue till cold, rainy and frosty weather sets in, in the fall. To prevent waste by tho pods opening, they must bt picked as they ripen. Go through the field abou. every eight days gathering sll the podI that are ripe enough to pluck, and with tho team convey them to the
 POPPING GROUND,
 Upon which spread them out two or three inches deep. The popping ground is space leveled of and beaten down hard, like tn, old fashioned threshing ground where grair was threshed out by horses. It should con tain about one acre of land to fifty planted As the sun dries the pods they pop open anC the beans fall out. The pods must be tuneC so as to expose all, and when all have partet with their beans rake them of and spread ol another lot, till the end of the season; o they may be gathered up by the pickers, they have time, between the pickings, an, run through flaming mill and sacked. | this condition they may be sent to the o works and sold at four cents per pound
 In our rambles through Southern Arizon we have noticed castor bean shrubs growing atvarious places, from which we conclud that that section of our Territory is favorab to the production of shrub and bean, $ that should some enterprising citizen satisi the farmers of Salt River and Gila that would, at the proper time, build and run factory, miles of castor beans would soon grown, and we would have m industry th would be entirely independent of cavalr horses and pack mules.

oRaANIzINa FoR rHE CRY ELECTION.

ORGANIZING FOR THE CITY ELECTION.
The preliminary movements Of the Republic
can organization have commenced for the sea-
son. looking to the City Election, early in Sep
TENDER. Last evening, a meeting Of Republic
cans was held and Committee appointed to
nominate City Executive Committee for the
ensuing year.
The City Election, in fact, is some seven or
eight weeks distant, and those of our good citi-
zens who luxuriate by the seaside, or among the
mountains, or at the Springs, during July and
August, and only return home when al the nom
nations have been made, and the election lie
close at hand have probably not begun to think
about the matter. The political circles, how.
ever, are beginning to be agitated; there is
some running to and fro; and the notes Of
preparation now heard are but the prelude to
carly and active operations, on more extern
siye scale.
The city officers to be elected, this year, are the
President of Council and ten members Of that
body, City Treasurer, two Assessors, and two
Receivers of Taxes, besides the usual Ward cleo
ton officers. The term of Mr.. Maris, as presd-
ing officer of Council, expires, with that of the
following members: P. b. Huested. First Ward /;
William II. Quinn, Second Ward H. F. Finegan,
Third Ward John G.. Baker Fourth Ward; H.
+. Pickles, Fifth Ward; Philip Quigley, Sixth
Ward Philip W, Mcdowell, Seventh Ward; G..
B. Underwood Eighth Wardi Christian Febiger-
Ninth Ward Dennis ]. Mention, Tenth Ward.
The present City Treasurer, Capt. Killsore, de-
cues a reelection.
If all citizens who are interested in, and sin
cerely DESTROYS of, good government, would give
their attention to the preliminary movements OF
organization, and would persistently exert them
selves to secure the nomination of good men for
the municipal offices, they could then acquit
themselves of responsibility for any unsatisfac-
tory result. They do not do this however, but
choose only to complain and groan over their
hard lot, and to deserve not one particle of sym
patty from any quarter. Anybody who is too
respectable or too Indifferent to attend to his
duties az citizen ought to be taxed till he
squeals and deserves to have his own property
left unimproyed and undeveloped while all the
public jobs are done in another section of the
city,
