Josh Billings on Karacter,
THE SASSY MAN.

kan alWus kno the sassy man
bi kind ov impudent leer in hiz
whole countenance, q sort of lurking
desire to affront sumboddy, would
be ,'devil-may- care " swagger to hiz
boldly, a kind ov lawlessness in
speech and manner.
He is a natural born howard, and
q mere perambulatibg lump ov i'm
pudence out ov a job.
He has Running, for he generally
picks up a non-combattant to prac-
It's his morbid restlessness upon.
Sumtimes he makes mistake and
lights upon the wrong customer, and
then it is quite delightful tew see how
quick the buckram is all taken out
ov him.
Thare IL only one sure cure for the
sassy man, and that iz to plant kon-
sekutiyely yure right and then yure
left phIst in hurried succession upon
the front end ov his noze, knocking
him ennywhare from 10 to $50 feet
in q forrin direction.
This kure il perfect and il not
patented, and therefore emmy one
has right to use it.
1t is mersy to the sassy man tew
give him a strong dose of this medi-
sin, it regulates hiz bile, tones hiz
liver, calms hiz impudense, hauls
down hiz flag, and makes him az
plant and az phawning az a spaniel
dog.
l hav known menny sassy man
knocked into suavity and humility,
who under the ordinary missionary
process ov correcshun would have
gradually grown into a desperado.
l don'tcounsel rul1ianism, and am
much in favor Of mild treatment for
all the ills that flesh is heir to, but
thare are akute diseases, and sassy
IL one of them, that roots and arbs
won't reach.
THE DIGNIFIED MAN.
It IL often the case that the digni-
fed man il nothing more than an
owl amung humans.
He don't alwus kno but little, but
when he duz he haz 'tew be kareful
ov that little, and look wize even eff
he don't prove to be so.
One good boss laff would spile him
for life; if he lets go ov hiz dignity |
hiz kapital il all gone and he IL ru-
med forever.
The dignified man that am talk
ing about never takes emmy chances,
be weighs every word before it il ut
5ered, and measures every ackshun
before it iz expressed, and il gener-
lily as free from blunders, or hits,az
q tud-stool il. If he ever duzl XIX
Up and frolik he IL like the elastic
elephant, and gay and kussid like the
or wild sea hess.
Dignity IL often substituted for
and il quite often mistaken
or it, but thare il as mutch differ
nee between them az thare il be-
ween pewter 10 cent piece and a
genuine haff dollar.
Idecided long ago not to.give en-
~ man kredit for being wize just be-
,auze he wouldn't bend hiz bak or
aft, when lie had a right to be tick
ed.
Sum ov the most successful fools
have ever met were as grave as a
ut stone, and most all the truly
7ize that have had the honor tew
e introduced tew, were alwus hunt
lg for good place tew roll on the
Fass.
Extreme gravity, in mi lexicon,
.ands for an extreme phool.-N,Y.

The Massachusetts Republicans
were too much for Butler, and when
he found how the case stood, he ac-
cepted the situation and withdrew,
as gracefully as he could; but the
surprising part of the performance
was his addressing the Convention
and urging the passage of the reso-
lutions, among which was the fol
lowing, which was an excoriation of
himself:
ResOlDed, That the Republicans of
Massachusetts emphatically disap-
prove of and condemn the action Of
those members of the late Congress,
Republicans and Democrats, who
availed themselves of the occasion
of an increase Of salary of the Presi-
dent, and Of Judges Of the Supreme
Court, and of members of the Cab
met, supposed to be just and neces-
sary for the future, to secure to
themselves a disproportionate and
extravagant compensation for past
as well as for future services.

More Mail Service Wanted.

Last week we published \ letter from \ correspondent, in relation to mail matters in Northern Arizona, and made a few remarks editorially on the same subject, which would have been more extended but for lack of space. The matter has again been brought to our notice in a prominent manner by the pc tition of the settlers in Salt River yalley-at Phoenix, East Phpnix, Tempe, Mcdowell, Hayden's Ferry and Msrryville. They ask for an increase of mail service from weekly to triweekly trips, from those settlements to Marcopa Wells. The petition is signed by over 300 settlers, which shows their need A semi-weekly mail now runs from Phoenix to Tucson via Florence, which the petitioners think should be discontinued
 Since old Camp Grant has been abandoned the necessity for running the mail via Flor ence from Pb9nix does not exist, and semi weekly service from Maricopa Wells to Flor ence would supply the needs of the citizens of Sanford and Florence as well as the pres ent service. We hope that the petition will be granted, and at the same time the semi. weekly service from Prescott to Phoenix should be made tri-weekly. The Salt River valley is the granary of the Territory. The population there, already large, is steadily increasing and permanent. The business con- nections of the settlers with other portions oi the Territory are large and important, and require all the additional mail service asked
 We fully agree with statements made ir the MINER last week as to the ineed of mail service from the end of the Southern Pacific railroad in California, via Hardyville, Mineral Park, Cerbat, Beale Springs, Williamson Val ley, Prescott, and the Verde settlements, tc Albuquerque, New Mexico. All Northern Arizona needs and demands that mail servic, be placed on that line. It is strange, indeed that with the facts in the case so patent anC easy of access, that proposals were not invitct for service across Arizona, from Albuquerau, to Bakersfield, at least once a week Gu relations to the inhabitants of New Mexic, and Colorado are such that they should unit heartily with US in applying for such service which is certainly as necessary as that iron Tucson )semi-weekly) to Messilla, New Mex ico.
 If some straw man gets the contract iron Albuquerque to Prescott, at this letting, a at the last, the probabilities are that " shall be without mails on that route for year longer, or until such influences are brough to bear on the Postoffice Department as vii cause a change of programme.
 With the extension of the telegraph l. Arizona, attention of the outside world is be ing directed moro strongly than ever befor' to our mineral and other resources, and mucl dissatisfaction is expressed that mail facilitie are inadequate, and that on the present mai routes in operation the contractors do 10 5,da sufficient and suitable vehicles t9 yss th~.e s essSfst A Tor Such fault finding is show by the fact that Hussey & Co., have estab lished an express and passenger line on tn, road from Los Angeles to Prescott, and ar, doing good business.

Mining Items.

The latest news from Mineral Park is that large body eff very rich silver ore-black sulphurets--had been struck in the Keystone mine, and that water bad increased to such an extent as to interfere with the working of the mine; consequently, the company have sent to San Francisco to procure hoisting machinery.
 At the Sherih's sale of mining ground in Pine Grove and Bradshaw districts, last Sat. urday, Levi Bashford bought feet in the ex- tension of the War Eagle, and David Grubb purchased feet in the California.
 At Kelly < Stephens store in Prescott A large piece of silver ore is on exhibition which came from the La Plata lode, four or five miles south of town.
 The arrastra of Elliott Bros, in Prescott, worked by steam, was started last Monday on Goodwin ore. W. c. Collier is attending to the amalgamation of the ore, which yields about S4OO in silver per ton. The arrastra operation is an experiment to ascertain the proper method of treating the ore.
 Fred Henry, one of the owners in the Rain. bow lode, was in town few days since and reported progress in his neighborhood. The arrastras on Kirkland Greek are working sue cessfully. Parties working on the Yesuvius and other lo1es in the vicinity continue to get out good ore.
 We call the attention of our outside read. CTS to the description of Cedar Valley district, written to the San Diego World, and pub lished on our first page today. The district is l50 miles west from Prescott, is, and has been for years, entirely free from hostile h. dians, and offers many inducements to min ing men for investment.
 Considerable excitement has been raised at Camp Mcdowell and Phoenix by the return of prospecting party with rich specimens of gold, silver and copper ores, from new dis triet. Some of the ore is yisibly rich in free gold. The party will return immediately to work on their claims.

THE TEXAS PAcIyIc.--Probably the only manner in which the recent monetary panic in the Eastern States affected Arizona was by the setback it gave the railroad oompa- nies running toward this Territory. All these companies have found trouble in dis posing of their lands and securities, and the negotiations of Col Scott, in England, of the bonds of the Texas Pacific Railroad were ma terially interfered with. It has been ofti- cially stated, however, that work on the road will be continued at such rate as will meet all the requirements of the State of Texas, and that the stoppage of more extensive op- erAtlons can only be temporary. Three hun dred miles of the road are now in successful operation and the financial condition of the road and its packers is on a good basis.

BEN NOAH.
BY ]. B. L. soULE.

Ben Noah, rich in treasure and in fame,
1B jre in his count1y's lists lordly name,
And far into the fading past his race
Tneir lofty lineage were proud to trace,
Aad boast the fathers of their noble blood
Had listened to the tumult of the food;
And many mitred priest and kingly head
HID bowed a suppIiant for Ben Noah's bread.
His palace, graced with turrets tall and wide.
Oerlooked the sea with more than royal
pride;
And countIessislaves, with early toll and late,
Had Lumbly lived and died to make him
great.
But though the prophets prayer he daily said,
The prophets spirit from his house had fed,
And Mercy, grieving at his voice of pride,
Drew far aloof her fearful face TO hide;
For Poverty, beseeahing day by day,
Turned empty-handed from his door away,
With no sweet words, and tender viands fed,
But with his rude and bitter scorn instead;
"Go eat the food your worthless fathers ate,
And come no more about my palace gateI"
And SO Ben Noah lived to self allied,
And like his fathers, so Ben Noah died;
And at the gate of heaven, erect and proud,
He quick arrived, and knocked both long and
loud,
Till from within voice with gentle word,
Such as no mortal ear hath ever heard,
Replied, ayVho comesY1 The rich man bois-
ferrous cries,
As he was wont when bidding slaves to rise,
"Ben Noah, the Great, stands at the door, O
Lord,
Come for noble life to claim reward"
Again the gentle voice within replied,
In tones that pierced the rich mans heart of
pride,
"Go back to earth where all thy treasures are;
No Lord is here to answer to thy prayer
None find him here who have not found him
there:
Go eat the food thy worthless fathers ate,
And come no more about my palace gate!"
Ben Noah turned and wept, with downcast
eyes,
The tears of those shut out from Paradise;
And moaned within himself, "Ah, now see,
As I to men, so doth the Lord to mel"
To earth again with humble steps he turned,
But kept within his heart the truth he learned.
His castle gate was now wide open thrown,
His countless wealth no more ne called his
own,
But with free and open hand supplied,
By day and night the wants of all that cried;
And hearts long silent in the midst of wrong
Now full of tuneful joy broke forth in song,
And fearful Sorrow smiled, and dark Despair;
Found hope and comfort IN the rich mans care
Till in that breast where Pride so long had
dwelt,
No other care than love to man was felt,
And he who once in fearful grandeur stood,
No longer called the Great, was called the
Good.
At last Ben Noah, with a conscience blest,
Weary of mortal labor, longed to rest;
And to the heavenly gate again drew near,
With hesitating step and humble fear,
And kneeling, knocked, with fearful eyes and
dim,
And listened il the Lord would answer him.
Again the voice within, more tender grown.
Replied, ''Who comes?'' in sweet celestial tone
''Nof I, but thou, o Lord" he answered well,
"For not myself, but thou, in me dost dwell"
Then quick the golden gate wide open few,
And brightning as he went, Ben Noah ventur-
ed through.

There have been indications for
some time, and from various quar-
ters, that wool is going to advance
in price. The demand appears to
be heavy in England, and this af-
fects our own market. We have
watched the sheep and wool bust
ness for several years, during which
time there were several panics,shee
being butchered for their pelts and
talloE; but Immediately after their
prices rose, and then every sheep
was saved. Meanwhile, those VINO
kept on steadily and sold at the 60
ing prices have done well; while
those who held wool over a year or
80 thereafter were well paid. The
truth is, there is no better business,
year after Ye9r, than that Of sheep
husbandry, and for the reason that
the increase of our population is so
constant and great as to keep up a
steady demand for all kinds Of wool
en- fabircs. As it has been in the
past so it is quite certain to be in
the future, and those who have
sheep may safely get more. But let
not inexperienced men rush IN, for
complete knowledge is required and
constant attention. The best way
to get good flock Of sheep is to
raise them, because there are few
chances to buy such sheep as will
pay to keep, unless at a high price.
He who has good sheep knows it as
well as anybody else, and, as a gen
eral thing, if he offers to sell sheep
they will be culls. A beginner
should buy few good American
Merinos, say from twenty to fifty,
and if they are really good, that is,
young and free from disease, there is
more increase and money in them
than in flock of 500 culls, old, ,scsb-
by, and otherwise unsound. In fact,
such sheep are not worth the feed
required 10 winter them, and the
best use to make of them is to send
them to the butcher, if that is al
loWable. By commencing with q
few sheep painstaking man can
learn how to manage them as fast as
they grow, being like some school
teachers, who learn as fast SIS their
scholars do. 1t viii take from three
to five years to learn the sheep ousi-
ness, and by that time the flock
should be Of respectable size.
