planters as we'll as by their former slaves, and
Mr.. A. will hardly maintain that the average
Northern or Western farmer cannot learn what
may easily be acquired by negro. Again, if
it be true that none but chose two classes can
successfully plant cotton, why invite capital to
emigrate to this State to engage in the para
mount business of the country, when you de-
clare beforehand that 1t must eyentuate in
failure.
Mr.. AS remarks In the latter. part Of the ar
ticle on heicondition Of the people, and some
of the causes thereof, are exceedingly frank
and think just, especially as to the unfortu-
nate pledging of the crop before it is grown, or
in some cases even planted, and the ill-advised
advertisement of the lamentable condition of
State affairs. Let these trenchant remarks be
well conned and needed, and that part of the
article will do incalculable good, and go far to
neutralize the great evil the rest Of it might
do.
The whole South, and notably this State,
need opuIation-intelligent population, that
desire not merely to live and have, as Mr.. A.
says, SO warm back and a full belly" but to
improve, and Of necessity while improving
themselves to improve the State. Without i'm
migration, how in the name Of common sense
is the balance Of power, now unhappily lost, to
be recovered and maintained by the proper
governing element? That population will
come, if properly invited and treated, but it is
idle TO expect an immigration that will prove
Of value, when you tell the immigrant that un-
less he has money you do not want him, and
his honesty, skill and energy, you count as
nsughs; that he is in many cases ten-fold more
unreliable than laborer you have already,
who, as You confess at the same time, you know
to be "treacherous and ungrateful, and idle and
worthless generally"

one voice, and said they would.
"Then beholdw calculated the
Padre, 81 will now call down fire
from heaven"......
"Stop! stop" commanded the
chiefs, you have fire hidden
under the cactus: we will first
examine it,"
Whereupon the Padre. seeing
his advantage, affected to be an
cry at them because of their incre-
dulity, and commanded, "Sweep
about the cactus-bush for space
Of ten feet"
And they did SO, and found no
fire.
The Padre now requested them
in blandest tones, to retire little
distance; then raised his right
hand containing the focal glass;
above his head and kept his
eye fixed on the cactus-leaf, which
Immediately became the focus of
all eyes, thus enabling him to
manipulate the glass without be-
ing observed.
Meanwhile naught was heard
save the hurried breathings ofthe
squaws. - the warriors seeming
statues, so still they stood.
When the leaf emitted a tiny col
umn of smoke, low murmuring
sound came from the Indians,
as of mingled fear and horror;
and when it blazed up brightly,
so that all were convinced of the
genuineness Of the devouring eIe-
ment, shrieks and groans of agony
rent the air; the Yaquies, men, wo-
men and children, threw them
selves at the feet of the now tri-
umphant Padre, and beseeched
him not to burn the world up; not
to destroy the hitherto unbe-
lieving Yaquies; and duplicated
the bestowal of his benediction
upon them and theirs.
Which was at length given, and
Padre Lorente's power over the
Yaqui Indians became absolute.

THE FOCAL GLASS;
OR
T RIG s OF A PA DIRE
BY JOHN G.. BACON.
TRICKS OF A PADR f
BY JOHN G. BACON.

Upon the banks of the river
Yaqui, flowing through the south
ern part Of Sonora, there dwelt in
1910, Padre Lorente, a Spanish
Jesuit.
The perquisites of his holy office
not being sufficiently large to suit
his ambitious purposes, the Padre
communicated with certain slave
dealers On the Cuban coast, the
result of which correspondence
was that slave ship, on pretence
Of other business, dropped anchor
off Guaymas.
Making to them various prom
ises, the Padre succeeded in get
ting on board some three hundred
of the most "likely" of the Yaqui
braves, when the ship suddenly
set sail for Cuba.
And the Golfers of the Padre
were thereby greatly enlarged.
The captain of the vessel was
denounced by the Padre as the
abductor,and never having doubt
ed the words of their spiritual
shepherd, the kindred and friends
of the unfortunate braves wept in
secret over what they deemed
visitation from God, and became
more rigid than ever before in
the performance of peculiar reli-
gious rites.
Years passed, and nothing was
heard ofthe kidnapped ones-the
Padre had not intended that there
should be; for Immediately upon
the arrival of any one likely to
know anything in regard to
them, his plan was to either feast
him sumptuously if imam Of
consequence" and send him to
visit some distant "brother," or
else, if Il poor stranger, to "spirit
him away" from the Yaqui vii
lagos.
The slaves of the Padres max
ing were safely landed, and diyi-

where, heart-broken, the majority
had died.
Three of them, however, more
determined than the others,
improved all opportunity afforded
of escaping from their inhuman
masters.
They had not fal to go to reach
the port of Cadenas.
At which place they hid
on board of a vessel bound for
the Florida coast.
Where they arrived, having
escaped from the vessel without
having been seen.
Still determined to return or
die in the attempt, to the ever
green banks of their own river,
they worked and wandered both
day and night, and after weary
months, reached the northern
boundary Of Chihuahua.
Persevering in their deter
mination, they at length arrived
on the southern line of Jalisce, in
state OF despair.
Two were in favor of accepting
masters and passing the remain
der of their unhappy lives as
poems; but the third continued
unchanged in his determination,
and plead with them so earnestly
that they were constrained to
travel with him five days longer
on condition that if at the end of
that time they could not see the
valley and river Of their birth
from the pinnacles of the tallest
picach0es, then they would peon
themselves to the nearest Next
can.
On the fifth morning after
having come TO this determine
ton, they had climbed to the pin
nacle of high peak and there
sat, gloomy and dispirited, await
ing the appearance of the sun
that the clouds enshrouding the
valleys far below might be dis
PEELED. and show them what they
so longed for.
AT length the sun rose above
the lower sicrras and poured
flood of golden light down their
dark sides into and along the
green valleys that studded the
prospect.
And they looked long and .anX-
iously about them.
Slowly memory reminded
them. of their childhood days, and

deep-shaded Yaqui.
At length they reached the set
Elements of their kindred, and
were received with great joy, for
they had been mourned as dead.
When the tale of their suffer-
ings had been recited, they dis
closed to their astonished cOun-
trymen the name of their kidnap-
per:
Padre Lorente!
Whereupon the Padre (who
still lived among the Yaquies,
until then honored and respected
by all,) was seized, bound, and in
solemn council of all the chiefs,
sentenced to die.
While being led out to be shot
by the angry Yaquies, a ruse &C.
Cured to him by which he might
not only save his life but be wor-
shipped as he had never been be-
fore.
Among the many visitors of
note whom the Padre had enter
tanned in princely style, was a
distinguished Englishman, who
had presented his host with a
Focal Glass.
No sooner had he thought of
the focal glass than he struck an
attitude and requested his would
be executioners to halt, that he
had something very important to
tell them. Accordingly they
halted, excusing themselves to
one another by saying that it could
do no harm to hear what he had
to say, as they intended to kill
him anyhow.
He requested permission to don
his sacerdotal robes, thing so
insignificant in their eyes that
it was at once assented to. Then
walking in front of the chiefs, he
raised his hands and eyes to
heaven, and said, in loud voice ::
"Men of the Yaqui river: why
do you wish to put me to death
/, who have the power to destroy
the world Wih freAI have power
given me of God to consume mine
enemies mith fire! TE are mine
enen2ies!"
But they answered him with
shouts Of derisive laughter and
cries of: prove ii to us, and we
will set you at liberty"
Meanwhile the Padre held the
focal glass concealed in the folds
of his robe, and thus made reply:

IN HER LITTLE BED WE LAID nER.

In her little bed we laid her,
After getting, you know what
Dealt out to that naughty Ada,
In very tender spot.
Yes, the nursemaid told her truly,
She would catch it for her cheek,
And her conduct quite unruly,
Misbehaving all the week.
When her mother went out shopping,
Meaning next to do the block,
Missile was employed in dropping
Into'rows, like one o'clock,
First, she pinched her little brother,
Next destroyed new chignon,
When they said they'd tell hor mother
OF her awful goings on.
This, of course, we couldn't pardon,
When through utter wilfulness
She'd cut up Mas Dolly Warden,
Just to make her doll dress;
And when spoken to, she Uttered
Audibly, and what was worse,
All our sympathies embittered,
BY grimacing at the nurse.
In her little bed we laid her,
After getting something hot,
Though she cried, begged and prayed
Her dear mamma, "please to not"
Hence we may derive moral
Naughty children must be smacked
When they're mischievous or quarrel
With each other-that's fact

POSTAL RATES AS THEY NOW STAND.

There has been much published in the
newspaper press of the United States in re-
gard to this subject, but very little of reli-
able character. We propose to give on the
authority of the Postal Record, and good
authority by the way, condensed reference
to the present law regulating this matter.
The recent congressional legislation provides
that "all laws and parts of laws permitting
the transmission by mail of any free matter
whatever be and the same are hereby repeal
ed from and after June 30th, 1873" This
cuts off the free exchange of newspapers be-
tween publishers, and the free circulation
within the counties of publication. No chang
es in the rates of postage have been made,
consequently postal charges will be as follows:
Letters to all parts of the United States,
three cents per half ounce.
Pamphlets, occasional publications, tram
sient newspapers, magazines, handbills, post
ers, unsealed circulars, prospectuses, book
manuscripts, proof-sheets, maps, prints, en-
cravings, blanks, flexible patterns, sample
cards, Photographic paper, letter envelopes,
postal envelopes and wrappers, cards, plain
and ornamental paper, Photographic repre-
sentations of different types, seeds cuttings,
bulbs, roots, and scions can be transmitted
through the mails at one cent for each two
ounces Or fraction thereof. Books, two cents
for each two ounces or fraction thereof Sam
pies of merchandise, metals, ores and miner
illogical specimens can pass through the mails
in packages not exceeding twelve ounces, at
the rate of two cents for each two ounces or
fraction thereof; to be left open at the ends
e..
other than the oddress. All liquids ,poisons,
glass, explosive materials, obscene books and
all other material liable to injure the mails or
those having charge thereof, shall be exclu-
ded therefrom.
Newspapers sent by mail must be prepaid
by stamps, unless "regularly issued and
sent to regular subscribers" by publishers or
news-dealers, when the following rates are
charged, payable quarterly in advance, either

not been delivered can be forwarded, with
out additional charge, upon a written request.
Letters once delivered from g postofice can
not be remailed without prepayment of post
age. Departmental postage, after June 80,
1878, will be prepaid by special stamps, pre-
pared and furnished by the Postofice De-
partment. 1t will, nevertheless, become
important for correspondents of the several
departments and bureaus to fully prepay
their postage after the 3Oth of June next.
OF course the local offices and agents of the
department will be instructed to this effect.
