We have visited the extensive
wagon and blacksmith shops of
Chris. Homer, on Main street,
and were both surprised and
pleased at what we saw. We
were surprised to see such an
extensive establishment of the
kind in Yuma, and pleased at
the character of the work turned
out. Here, beside the ordinary
custom work, Of blacksmithing,
horse shoeing and wagon repair
ing, we found new wagons and
coaches put up, and built entirely
in this shop, of the very best ma
terial, and in style of workman
ship that we have never seen.
eXcelled in any country. We
would invite men who admire
good work, and who understand
what it is when they see it, to
visit Chris's shop and see a thor
ough brace wagon, built for a gen
tleman in Tucson, and one also
for Mr.. VIM. Burke, of the Colo
RADIO Hotel, and some heavy
road wagons, made there for sale,
and say if they ever saw better
work, both in iron and wood. This
shop is an Institution, and shows
what can be done, even in Ari-
IONA, when industry, energy and
vim, are brought to bear.

FELINE SERENADFS.

night by the diabolical serenade
of one or more Thomas cats. We
don't wish to use strong language
at this time, but would point said
midnight marauders to the fear.
full warning described as follows
There was man named Ferguson,
He lived on Market street,
He had a speckled Thomas cat
That couldn't well be beat;
He'd catch more rats, and mice, and SIGH
Than forty cats could eat.
This cat would come into the room
And climb upon cheer,
And there's he'd sit and lick hisself
And purr so awful queer.
That Ferguson would yell at him
But still he'd purr severe.
And then he'd climb the mocnlit fence,
And loaf around and yowl,
And spit and claw another cat
Alongside of the jowl;
And then they both would shake their
tails
And jump around and howl.
Oh, this here cat of Ferguson's
Was fearful then to see;
He'd yell precisely like he was
In awful agony;
You'd think tirst-ciass stomach-ache
Had struck some small baby.
And all the mothers in the street,
Walked by the horrid din,
Would rise right up and search their
babes,
To find some worrying pin;
And still this vigorous cat would keep
A hollerin' like sin.
And as for Mr.. Ferguson,
Twas more than he could bear,
And so he hurled his boot-jack out,
Right through the midnight air;
But this vociferous Thomas cat
Not one cent did he care.
For still he yowled, and kept his fur
A standin' up on end
And his old spine a-doublin' up
AS far as it would bend,
As if his hopes of happiness
Did on his lungs depenh.
Bat while a-curvin of his spine,
And waltin' to attack
i cat upon the other fence
There came an awful crack;
And this here speckled Thomas cat
Was busted in the back.
When Ferguson came down next day,
There lay his old Feline,
And not life was left in him,
Although he had had nine.
"All this here comes" said Ferguson,
"Of curvin' of his spine"
Now all you men whose tender hearts
This painful tale does rack,
Just take this moral to yourselves,
All of you, white and black
Don't ever go, like this here cat,
To gittin' up your back.

The White Mans Government Beneficial to
the Negro Race.

We take the following article from the Mont
gomery Aduetiser, anG commend the lesson 1t
teaches to the consideration of both black and
white: "The census of 1870 throws some light
upon the future of the negro race, which 1T
would be we'll for both races to pay some heed
to. 1t shows the per centage of increase
of negro population in tie States of the South
to have been as follows:
Il Alabama-From lS40 to 1885, about 35 per
cent; from 1850 to 1860, 81 per cent; from
1850 to 1870, l3 per cent.
arkansas. 1S40 to 1850, 29S per cent /;
from 1850 to 1860, 134 per cent. from 1861 to
1870, 10 per cent.
Fiorida.-From 1910 to 1850, 81 per cent. !;
from 1850 to 1860, At per cent; from 1850 to
1870, At per cent
Georgia-From 1910 to 1850, 33 per cent. !;
from lS50-t 1860, 81 per cent; from 1861 to
1870, about II per cent.
North Carolina.-From 1910 to 1850, IS per
cent; from 1850 to 1860, II per cent. from
1860 to 1870, 9 per cent.
South Carolina.-From 1910 to 1850, II per
cent; from 1850 to 1860, S per cent; from
1860 to 1870, less than per cent.
Tennessee. From 1910 to 1850, 80 per cent. j;
from 1850 to 1860, Is per cent. from 1850 to
ESQ, Is per cent.
d Tsras.--In 1850, ffty-eight thousand-from
1850 to 1860, increase 200 per cent; from 1860
to 1870, 100 per cent.
Virginia. Increase from 1s4o to 1850, per
cent. from 1850 to 1860, 6 per cent; from
1860 to 1870, about per cent. decrease.
Louisiano.-Increase from 1S4O to 1891,
about 80 per cent. from 1850 to 1850, 80 per
cent. from 1860 to 1870, about per cent: -
Kentueky.-Increase from 1S4O to 1850, 80

from 1850 to 1870, per cent. decrease.
Mississippi-From 1910 to 1880, 70 per cent. ;
from 1850 to 1860, 40 per cent; from 1860 10
1870, about II per cent.
It will be seen that the drift OF the negro
population is toward the Gulf Tie border
States are gradually losing the "colored ee-
ment;" but for several patent reasons this was
to have been expected. White labor always
has that effect where it competes on even terms
with that of the blacks In the border States
white labor can, and does, secure those terms /;
kere, the black man has a vast advantage
Hence the drift, Of which mention has been
already made.
But the most singular feature of this exhibit
is the fact that it shows the per centage of in
crease in the negro population to be smallest
in those States, where, as an element of polltl-
cal strength, the negroes are all:powerful. Take
South Carolina, Mississippi and louisiana and
compare each with the States that lie side by
side with it. Here is the table from which the
necessary facts may be drawn:
