THE Papago women are first in bring ing barley into market. They follow af- ter the reapers and gather up the heads that are left. In this way each woman gathers from ten to thirty lbs. per day, and after cleaning it nicely, they exchange it for flour ard such other articles as they desire. If every one would work as hard to pay their way and save what would otherwise be lost, the world would be much richer than now, and beggars would very nearly disappear.

HARVESTING has fairly commenced.

HARVESTING has fairly commenced. It may be interesting to some to kno" no" farming here is conducted. The lana IS plowed with wooden stick, though In some instances blows of modern manu- lecture have been introduced. The graln IS Irrigated several times and then cut with old fashioned sickles. A large Touho place is leyeled off and the grain is drawn by man on horse back, who ties rope to hide and attaches it to the horn o1 his saddle and then draws it backward and forward until the grain of the neld IS gathered in one heap. After which, horses are put on and compelled to run around in a circle until the grain is threshed, then it is thrown into the air until the chaff is separated from it. It is rather rude way of farming, but has the virtue that is attached to Masonry and other old institutions. It was done in the same way before Solomon built his temple, and as some insist that the world is constantly growing worse every day, this may be a good reason why no innovations should be made upon the way they did things 1900 years ago. We don't believe, how ever, in that theory. We are of the opin- ion that the world is constantly improv- ing.

COMPANY H, 5th Cavalry has three children that were captured by them while in an engagement with the Apaches in Tonto Basin last spring. The oldest is about six and the youngest about three years old. They are bright eyed little fellows, and are great favorites with the soldiers, who care for them with the ten derness of mother, which proves the rule that brave men are always kind hearted. They all speak English and seem as happy as though they had been born in a soldiers camp

ZHE jury in the case of John Willis on
 Tial for murder, brought in a verdict of Euilty as charged in the indictment, last Saturday, and on Tuesday the prisoner
 was brought before Judge Titus for sen
 tence. The prisoner when asked by the
 judge if he had anything 10 say why sen- \ tence should not be passed upon him, re- V piled that Che did not think he had had a fair trial.' After which the judge ordered Nthat he should be hung, without specify
 ing the day. The counsel for Willis, Gen.
 J. E. McCaffry, appealed the case to the Supreme Court. A bond for $500 was given for the costs of the appeal, and the ycase goes over to the Supreme Court, (which will meet in Tucson the first of
 ReXt January. It was the earnest desire

ROBERT WALLACE was arraigned last Tuesday for fourishing deadly weapons in a threatening manner and plead guilty to the charge. Judge Titus gave him the full benefit of the punishment the law prescribes in such cases, viz: Six months in the county jail and costs of suit The proof was abundant that this same indi vidual resisted the officers, and in his own language took the town" Why he was not indicted on these grave charges we are at a loss to know. If he had been he would be compelled to serve a term in the penitentiary at the expense of the Territory instead of the county.

WE have been permitted to make the following interesting extracts from letter from Rome:
The McArthur enquirer. (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1873-1884, 1873-11-19
Ingenuity Of COunterfeiterS.

A very ingenious mode is re-
sorted to by counterfeiters to
make a profit by a little manip-
ulation of genuine bills. The
plan is in this wise: Take, say,
ten $5 bills, lay one on the 9th
er a quarter of an inch below
the tops, something after the
fashion of pasting in the pro-
cess of making paper bags.
When they are all thus neatly
laid off, a knife is run through
them, and, of course, from the
first bill a quarter of an inch
will be cut off, a half inch from
the second, three-quarters from
the third, an inch from the
fourth, and SO to the tenth bill,
from the bottom of which there
is taken a very small portion,
nothing more than the border.
This bill is left as it is, but to
all the others the parts taken
off are neatly pasted on, and
the result is that there will be
eleven bills all perfect, except
a small reduction in the size of
each, of course the operator
makes five dollars in every ten.
The amount taken from each is
so small, and the bills being
generally all of one kind, it is
a very difficult matter to detect
them. It is a very neat ar
rangement to cheat geople who
are not in habit of giving to
bank bills a very close exami-
nation.

Calling a Boy in the Morning.

The Connecticut editor who
wrote the following, evidently
knew what he was talking
about: "Calling up a boy in
the morning can hardly be
classed under the head of
"pastimes," especially il the
boy is fond of exercise tie day
before. And it is a little sin
gular that the next hardest
thing to getting a boy out of
bed is getting him into it.
There is rarely a mother who
is a success at rousing a boy.
All mothers know this, so do
their boys. And yet the moth
er seems to 60 at it in the
right way. She opens the stair
door and insinuatingly observes:
Johnny There is no response.
Johnny Still no response.
Then there is a short, sharp
John followed a moment later
by a long and emphatic John
Henry A grunt from the up
per regions signifies that an
impression had been made, and
the mother encouraged, adds,
you had better be getting down
to your breakfast, young man,
before | come up there, an give
you something you'll feel This
so startles the young man that
he Immediately goes to sleep
again. And the operation has
to be repeated several times. A
father knows nothing about the
trouble. He merely opens his
mouth as a soda bottle elects its
cork, and the John Henry that
cleaves the air of that stairway
goes into that boy like electric
ity, and pierces the deepest re-
cesses of his nature. And he
pops out of that bed and into
his clothes, and down The
stairs, with a promptness that
is commendable. It is rarely a
hoy allows himself to disregard
the paternal summons. About
once year is believed to be as
often as is consistent with the
rules of health. He saves his
father a great many steps by
his thoughtfulness."

My mother never smiled
On me with half the tenderness

There was no kiss for me.
How blessed are the beautiful;

There was q look of love that claimed

With gems and roses decked,
did not coyct them but oft
When wantonly reproyed
enyied her the privilege
Ofbeing so beloved.
But soon time of triumph came,
A time ofsorrow too;
For, sickness on my sisters form
Its venomel mantle threw;
Her features, once so beautiful,
Now wore the hue of death,
And former friends shrank timidly
From her infectious breath.
And watched with ceaseless care
For days, beside her bed,
And, feerlessly, upon my breast
Ipill0wed her poor head.
She lives, and loves me for my care.
My grief is at an end,
My life no longer seems forlOrn,
For now have friend.

BEET-sUGAR.
Political Independence -Saecha-
rine Servitude.


The, sugars imported into the
United States during last year, ex-
ceeded in declared value the amount
exported by $3O,O7O,O37. Now for
the last seven years France, Prus-
sia and Austria have sent abroad
no money for sugar, but have sup
piled themselves from beets. Their
example is being rapidly followed
by Russia, Holland, England, and
even by Scandinavians. The Uni
ted States brag that they are ahead
OF the times. viii they remain be-
hind them, as they clearly are, in
the matter Of sugarf II sugar beets
thrive all over Europe, will they
not do we'll in American Expert
ments in beet sugar, as at North
ampton, Mass, Fond du Lac and
Black Hawk, Wis, have proved
failures, but ten times as many sue
cessful trials abroad preceded
final success, and Americans may
learn by the errors Of generations.
Three notable beet-sugar facto-
rics are now making full proof of
an industry as yet new in America;
one in Illinois and two in Califor-
mia. The Illinois establishment is
in Freeport, those on the Pacific
slope are in Sacramento and Alva-
RADIO. The two latter have been at
work two years, the other only one.
The smallest of them has a capacity
for working fifty tons of beets daily
and Il million and half pounds of
sugar were turned out last year in
California. The prospects Of all
three establishments are good. Let
them prove success, the beet fac
tories will multiply. The farmers
Of Nebraska will learn new trick
in lodging high freights. Among
10000 immigrants already planted
there, not a few Of them attracted
to the Burlington and Missouri
River Railroad land on the three
Blues by ten years credit, with
nothing of principal payable for
four years, many have raised beets
for foreign factories, well know how
to furnish them best and cheapest
for Nebraska factories. The refuse
pulp is everywhere worth for stock
feeding, one-half as much as the
original beets. European beet-su-
gar manufacture has all grown up
in generation. Nor is it unlikely
that he who reads these lines vmay
live to see Nebraska self-supplied
with sugar from it's own beet beds,
and then that he may live a good
while after that!

THAT ONE VoTE.-"Caliban." :" the
special correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Daily Enquirer, writes from
Columbus, Ohio, under date of 0c-
tober %, 1873, as follows:
According to q story which
heard yesterday, there is one man
here, an applicant for appointment,
who ought to be preserved as a sort
of political amulet, just for luck,
by the party. That man is Captain
Reynolds, and the place he wants
is Warden Of the Penitentiary.-
Part of the story is historically cor
rect, / know, and the other portion
| am assured is authentic. In 1886,
when Governor Allen was elected
to the Senate, it was by a single
vote. The man who gave that ma
jority himself was elected by ma
jority Of one. He was the member
from Ross county; and now it
turns out that the single vote that
placed him in the Legislature was
cast by this same Captain Rey-
nolds, who had been in the county
just u year and a day. He was
challenged at the polls, and estab-
fishing his residence there he was
enabled thus to cast the single bal
lot that gave us Allen as United
States Senator. Such u man is
certainly valuable to any garty, and
it should be seen that the family is
perpotuated."

NHcl we ClOScu our laSl
chapter, Mr.. Lorenzo was about
to divulge his plans for the fil-
ture of the boy, and now we
have them.
'1t is my intention to keep
Willie to wait on me and nv
little wife, and when he gets
old enough to marry he can
marry, but he must not marry
until | say so, or 1 will drive
him off the next day; but if he
stays at home and works as he
should on the farm and marries
to suit me, | will keep him
right here as long as wc live,
and when we die, I will give
him this house and lot and 20
acres of land, and the rest shall
go to my nephew John. There
is no use of talking about me
running through with what |
have earned in a foolish way.
| am able to take care of my
SELF you see, and you, Mrs.
Lorenzo. 1t would be pretty
work for me to send that boy
off to school and pay his way
and have no one to wait on me
in my declining years. Don't
you see that my plan is the
best"
''Not exactly" said the wife,
"your plan would be pleasant
for as, but would be a great in
justice to the boy, and l fear an
insult to God"
"Ah! you always put a re-
ligious phase on every thing,
but let me tell you if we don't
look after ourselves no one else
will"
81 think, husband, that the
best way to look after OwSelvcS,
is in looking after others less
fortunate than we. We must
not be selfish, nor do damage to
others. and perhaps to genera
tions yet unborn, by our course
of conduct.
n n " II n n n
The conversation was broken
off by the appearance of a coup
lie of neighbor women who call
ed at Mr.. Lorenzo's to spend a
few hours visiting.
"Why, bless my soul and
body, if Mr.. and Mrs. Lorenzo
amt in the room here sparkling
like two old lovers, and how
do-you-do? 1 am so glad to
see you; we just-0, excuse
me! This is sister Smith, l al
most forgot to introduce you"
Thus broke in and out old
Mrs. Greybill, the veritable gos-
sip of the town.
Taking a seat and catching
her breath she began to ask
about everything in particular,
giving no one else hardly "a
chance to put word in edge
ways. !
