THE Commissioner of Agriculture has recently forwarded large variety of gar den seeds to Hon. R. C. Mccormick, which seeds are now in our possession for free distribution to gardeners or farmers who are willing to plant and cultivate them with care and make short report of the results to the Agricultural Department. Nearly every kind of seed is in the lot. The quantity of each is not large, yet is enough, if properly cultivated, to give quite product.

ABOUT TAKING IN SONORA.

A great many people who know what they are talking about and why they are doing it, are in favor of adding Sono ra to the United States, and so are many more who know nothing worth knowing of the subject. This annexation proposi ton is not a new one and should it be adopted, many who now favor it would as zealously disapprove of it when too late to effect anything either way. When some thing is not right in business circles, ii has come to be a chronic disposition of the public to call upon government to do something to help out of the trouble, and when it comes to the rescue, then the manner of the action is sharply and often unjustly criticised. A lot of newspaper statesmen now want government to take Cuba frem old, weak and contemptible Spain, just as some want our Uncle to take or buy Sonora from Mexico.
 It cannot be that we are in want of more land, because we now have millions upon millions of untouched acres; it can hardly be that we want to add to our pop ulation by the acquisition of States or parts of other countries while largely in debt, it seems almost criminal folly to add to our burdens in this regard; while at peace with @ nation, we should not make war with it just for the sake of few peo- pie and some territory, having no press ing want for either. Our unoccupied ter ritory is so large and little known that Congress, at great expense keeps several exploring expeditions out each year to find out what we have; before we get more, would it not be well to know how much and of what kind we have on hand? Then as to people, would it not be as well to educate aud Americanize what we have before acquiring more at wholesale, by purchase or war-one of which methods would be necessary and unlikely to i'm prove the adaptability of the people to American customs. If government must go into the missionary business or the work of developing the natural resources of the earth, we submit that it's present possessions afford field enough.

PIMA DEPREDATIONs.

John w. Sweeny came in from Florence Tuesday. He says the Pimas are in the habit of going through the farmers fields in squads and taking whatever they want 1-ccrn, pumpkins and so forth. About six weeks ago, he says thirty-five Pimas with thirty horses went boldly into his corn field and loaded the beasts with corn and 1 left. They also drove away from the field l two of MT. Sweeny's hired men. Other farmers suffer in similar way. Such conductis outrageous. It would be treated as crime if done by citizens, and either punished by legal or other means. Our advices from Salt river valley show the Pimas to be guilty of like conduct over | there.
 1 The Pimas do not murder citizens but | they do rob them and are never punished | therefor. It is believed if any attempt were made on the part of the citizens to punish them, it would be resented with slaughter, as shown last April when a man was forcibly taken by them from the custody of the peace officers and summa- rily killed. For the past two months the
 
 ent he could probably effect no reform nor inflict any punishment on the marauders nor redress the injured farmers.
 Something ought to be done in the mat ter. A vigorous appeal accompanied by facts capable of the clearest authentica- ton, should be gotten up by the citizens of the Gila and Salt river valleys and trans mitted to Delegate Mccormick for presen- tation to the higher authorities. If need be, the subject should be brought to the attention of Congress. If the Pimas can not grow enough to support themselves, government should supply the deficiency and thereby remove any necessity for their stealing, and then if they did not cease it and behave themselves, the army should be turned loose upon them. We are in favor of government assisting the Pimas and PapagOes as well as Apaches in times of absolute need, and then com pei them to obey the same laws that ap- ply to citizens for wrong doing.

WAR WITH SPAIN.

Probable war with Spain is the present eX- citement in our country and abroad. The latest from Washington dates up to the 22d. If definite course had been decided upon it was then unknown to the public. Natu- rally enough, all opponents of the present administration are clamorous for war evidently for no other purpose than to ac- complish some partisan advantage. News paper statesmen and damagogues gener- ally never expect to expose themselves in actual war-even war they begged and coaXed for. They seem to care nothing how many others may have to lose their limbs, lives or property or all together; and while condemning taxation and large public debt, they zeaiously labor to make an in- crease of both necessary. President Grant understands this and will not allow the execution of a hundred men engaged in violation of international laws, to precipi- tate a war without the clearest possible evidence that Spain has committed an in- eXcusable outrage on American rights. The Cuban Junta in New York for years has been making New York base for war upon Spain-as the Fenian Brotherhood did for war upon Canada. Some of the latter were killed by the Canadian or Brit ish troops and a few of the leaders were afterwards tried in the United States courts, convicted as criminals and sent to the penitentiary. Of similar character was the crew of the steamer Virginius engaged in carrying war supplies to those making war upon the Spanish government. The Spanish authorities may have too hastily or informally executed the crew of that vessel. At present no other wrong ap- pears to have been done.

4 PRIVATE letter from Mineral Park says that Davis X Randall had shipped by last steamer to San Francisco, eleven tons of rich ore. So much water had been found in the Keystone mine that the su- perintendent had gone to San Francisco for pump. Assays from the mine went from two to four hundred dollars to the ton. MT. Fisher at Cerbat had just run out seventy bars of bullion with the furn- ace at that place.

THE Texas and Pacific railway has evi- dently received check ill its construct ion by the recent money panic, but that it will continne to be built by its present managers, we have no doubt; nor do we doubt that they will rush it through much faster than required by act of Congress. In addition to the assurances of this kind in dispatches from Philadelphia, we have some private advices from that city which are favorable to the company's ability and purpose to put the work through with considerable rapidi.y.

TIE San Carlos division of the White Mountain Indian reservation has been formally abolished and those in charge have turned over their wards and property on hand to Agent Roberts of Apache. The Indians now at San Carlos will continue there at least until the crops now planted are harvested-which mus t be several months. Major Randall of Apache will exercise military discipline overthem, and probably no officer in the service knows better how to do it wisely than himself We have good authority for saying that the White Mountain Apaches were never so well contented, so cheerfully submissive to proper discipline, so desirOuS to see bad members of their people punished, as at present. These excellent conditions have been brought about by doing right toward the Indians and compelling them, when necessary, to do right in all essential par ticulars.

Rapid Photographic Construction and

In three of these 4 29 miles were constructed, and on 4 n tfrd day out, thirteen full miles were T We are positively informed that tfls excels in rapidity any such work ever done on the Pacific Coast, and that the party claims the championship in this respect. On the 25th, the line was eight miles this side of Picacho station and it is expected that it will be com pleted to Tucson by next Tuesday. This latter sentence is given for the benefit of all parties who want to send "gushing" messages. THE CITIZEN always acknowl- edges gratifying facts in an appropriate manner, but is not given to word gush- ings. It don't abuse Congress in one breath and express foolish delight over that body's work in the next. The peo- pie of the United States pay for this tele. graph and its construction. It will be very convenient to all business men as well as many who do not popularly come under that head. The military authori- ties for whose benefit it was ordered by act of Congress, will be greatly assisted by it, and their operations also facilitated. For the present, its management in all re- spects will be under charge of the mili- tary, and it is with pleasure we assure the public that to the extent of General Crooks control, it will afford the public at large the best and cheapest terms con- sistent with the public service In all \. partsof the country, there is considera-

PrOstratisn Practice.

Luckily for the SICK the idea that it is necessary
to reduce their bodily strength in order to cure
them is fast dying out. Modern science recognizes
the fact that disease is of itself more than sutl
cieotly depressing to body and mind, and does not
need to be assisted in its inroads upon the vital
energy OF the system by violent purgations and
other facilitating mixtures, Prostitution is, in
short, played OUT and the practieners who still
cling to it are so few and far between that they
can not, like their predecessors of the same fatal
school who fourished half century ago, fill the
graveyard with their victims. The Introduction of
Hostetters Stomach Btters in 1852 was the heaviest
blow that the old practice Of depletion had ever
received and from that time to the present. as the
celebrity of the great vegetable invgorant has in
creased the purging, blistering, bleeding, water
cruel practice has declined. The effect Of this fa-
nous preventive and remedy is to strengthen,
build up, regulate and tranquilze, not to weaken,
break down and violently disturb the system. 1t is
n tonic alter alive and neryine, with n pure stimu-
liant as its propelling and distributing agent This
stimulant diffuses the curative and DEMONSTRATING
elements of the medicine through the whole orgln-
zation, and brings them into contact with the
sources Of the disease Hence its cures of indiges-
ton constipation, bilious complaints, nervous
ness languor debility, low spirits, maarious dis
orders, &C., are complete and thorough, and as a
protection against the ailments caused or aggre-
waited by cold and damp it has no equal.

RIlls of Fare for Dinner.

An ordinary daily dinner is easily
served, says Pierre Blot, when it is
composed of only one dish of meat, one
or two vegetables, and dessert; but
when there are several dishes it is nee
essary to serve them in proper order;
they not only taste better, but they are
also more easily digested. Forinstance,
soup would not be good after salad,
beef after game, or vegetables after
cakes.
The general order is, after the soup
the fish; then butchers meat, chicken,
game, vegetables, sweet dishes, cakes,
.and dessert.
There is no order for the dessert;
after the cheese, which should be par
taken of first, the rest of the dessert is
served according to taste, there being
no precedence.
At large dinners game is sometimes
served before chicken, and meat before
fish. Meat may be served as relieve,
and fish as entree. A boiled fish served
whole is invariably q relieve, but when
served in pieces, as in matelote, it Is an
entree. Game may be served as an en-
tree, and chicken as a roast piece after
ward. After the roast pieces come the
entremets, which are composed of veg
etables, cooked fruits, eggs, macaroni,
cakes, etc.
Dishes of vegetables may be served
with the fish, after the soup; potatoes,
| for instance, do not neutralize the taste
of the fish, but would somewhat neu-
tralize that delicate entree,
! Bread has not the same effect as veg
etables; being by itself almost tasteless,
| it can be eaten with every kind of dish
and instead of neutralizing the favors,
it seems to add to the SAVIOR of the most
delicate dishes. Even some fruits taste
better when eaten with little good
! bread.
Salads of greens taste best wher
served with or Immediately after the
roast pieces. They have the same prop
erty that cheese has after the entire
NETS, that of taking off the taste tina
may be left in the mouth from the pre-
ceding dishes, thus preparing the pal
ate for new delicacies.
Soup, or oysters, or both, are Away
served for the beginning of the dinner
Besides tasting better then, they are o
a light nature; therefore they diges
easily, and prepare the digestive or
gans for the heavier dishes coming afte
them.
Hors-d '@uvre dishes are appetizer
that are passed around at any time dur
4 ing the dinner. between each dish fror
the soup to the dessert.

Pennsylvania Agricultural College.

There is much feeling existing all
through the country upon the subject of
the management of agricultural col
leges. From reports in the Pennsyl-
vania papers from time to time, it would
seem that the Pennsylvania college is,
if possible, worse mismanaged than the
Illinois institution. The Germantown
Telegraph calls for full and searching
investigationinto the manner and policy
of conducting that college, in order
that the public may get at the bottom
of the reasons for the debilitated con-
dition of the institution. In relation
to this matter, correspondent of that
journal says:
81 read with deep interest the letter
in your paper giving an inside view of
the operation of the State Agricultural
College in Centre county. Over $500,
900 were realized by the sale of land
scrip donated by Congress to Pennsyl-
vania. This was invested in State and
national securities, and the interest
thereof as it accrued was voted by the
Legislature in 1867 and 1868 to this in
stitution. The same amounting to
1925, 000annuallyh has since been promptly
paid over. In accordance with an act
of the last Legislature these securities
were sold for little over $500, 900, and
a bond issued by the State in favor OF
the college for $500, 900, bearing six pei
cent. interest This now gives an an,
nuity to the institution of $4,000.
81 hope no person will urge further
endowment until full and thorough
investigation has been made and the re.
suit published. If the State has done
its full duty, and the college notwith-
standing will prove failure, it is time
that the people know it, and if possible
let the money be directed to something
practical On the other hand, if the
public will be benefited by an addi
tional endowment, and it is shown that
it has been managed as well as it was
possible with the means at hand, I would
not be one to oppose it."
