The Skool Boy.

The skool boy il the within Of
cirkumstansiss.
If he lives in the country he haz
got to git up early enuff to puntch
the chickens off from the roost,
then start a fire in the kitchen
stove, then put on the tea-kittle,
and then go for the cows.
After the cows have been milkt
he hurrys down hiz hash and
buckwheat kakes, and tbrashes
beans two hours with the old man
in the kOrA Krib.
Now he walks three miles in a
sno path to the distrikt skOol-
hOus aud gets there just in time
to help split sum wood for the
days fire.
Skool opens and he takes hiz
seat on the flat side ova slab bench
and bends double over Web
ster's spelling book, without emmy
cover.
For variety he stands up in a
70, and spells and skratches a
greasy slate, with the Figures in
a long sum of addishun.
Noon Gums at last, and he eats
up in one corner hiz two slices of
rhi bread and biz piece of pi krust
and browns the dri dinner with a
pint ov lukewarm water out Ov
the pine pail behind the stove.
The only fun he haZ liz to slide
down hill on board, back Of the
skool nous, and git kicked when
he goes home if he happens to
wear the sole Ov hiZ boots emmy,
or tear the base ov hiz britches.
Night Gums, and he haz had a
days skOoling, and plods back
home to saw wood enuff to last
next day before he eats his pud-
din-and-milk supper and sinks
off up to the wood nous chamber,
to bed, without even the ray Ov
a tallO handle.
This waz skOOl-boy life in the
country 40 years ago.
If the boys now daZe had to
skool it in this way, they would
sue the old man for damages, and
emmy kind ov a jury would bring
in a verdikt too, in their favour.
But Daniel Webster dun il in
this way aud bekum the most
learned statesman we ever raized

Illegal Voters Sentenced.--min1ng
Districts Blocked by Snow.


SALT LAKE, November 8 The
Chief Justice to-day formally
passed sentence upon two men
for illegal voting. The prisoners
pleaded guilty, and said they
were counselled by the Church
authorities to vote on their first
papers and naturalization by the
Mormon Probate Courts. The
Judge said these Mormon Courts
had no authority, and were pre-
sided over by willful and open
violators of the law; and that II a
Probate Judge was at his bar for
trial, though presumed to be in
nocent, until found guilty that
presumption in such a case would
be deemed a violent theory.

be pretty frequent thing, and
while we do not envy the parties
their happiness, but rather rejoice

we are spending the flower Of our
days IN single ous8edness, and
wasting our sweetness or tie

stand It much longer. God and
nature never intended that we
should, and we will soon lay siege
to some fair lady's heart. There
is no bliss on earth to compare
with the union of TWO congenial
hearts. AS the poet beautifully

Hinged with the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one.

Oh heart felt rapture! bliss beyond com.

United States" is the title Of
very comprehensive nd careful
~ prepared article in he NOvem-
5eT IIua5oF os " The Republic"
written up by L. d. Inge rsol. The
writer is particularly impressed
with the extent and importance
of the mining interests of the nine
Territories Including Arizona) of
which he treats, and, in the course
of his article, pays the following
deserved compliment to. Delegate
Mccormick
The Hon. Richard G. 7McCor-
mick, of Arizona, in speech in
the House of Representatives so
long ago as February 1873, brought
this subject intelligently before
the republic. In single para
graph the Importance of our min
ing interests have nowhere else
been so clearly and forcibly stated.
He said:
1.-THE mining industry of this
country has been, during the last
twenty-five yeals, one of the most
important elements of national
progress and prosperity. This is
particularly true of the great de-
velOpment which has taken place
in the States and Territories lying
wholly or partly west of the Rocky
Mountains. From the time VIII en-
gold was discovered in California
to the present day, mining in the
| West has been not only direct
source of commercial benefit to the
country but indirectly a factor in
! all progress. IT. has settled new
Territories, stimulated the con-
/ slructiOn Of great public works,
/ tended agriculture nd manu-
! lectures; IN short, bun up an en-
| piTe on the other side # this con-
tinent, the wealth and capacities
7 OF which have as 5 t scarcely
/ been realized by the u-1Ss enthu-
slasIlc observers. Meanwhile, I
need hardly add, sthe mines of
iron, copper, and lead in the At
lantic States, supported by the
abundant product of the coal
mines have nightly strengthened
the industry and political power
of the nation"
Mr.. Ingersoll follows with this
apt paragraph
In the development of the min
ing interests of the central Ter
ritories two great difficulties have
stood in the way; First, the at
tacks of hostile Indians; and, Sec
ondly, the nature of the country
making it necessary that large
amounts of capital be furnished in
order to produce the metals In
paying quantities. This last diff
ticulty can never be surmounted
except by the removal of the first.
Men will not invest large means
where there is strong probabi-
lily of a savage maraud. Here,
then, is the Indian confronting
and to a great extent paralyzing
one of our greatest industries, and
that one which, in the present ST.
tuation of affairs, may Justly be
regarded as the most important
of alI.-ArizOnG Citizen. -

dations of Gov. A. P K. Stafford
| in his messages of 1871 and 1873,
1t is just to say that the delega-
| tions from Pima and Yuma cOun-
ties opposed these measures and
thereby must be held responsible
in very great measure, for the
illegal voting and all other un-
lawful acts incident thereto, in
the elections of 1872 and 1874. 1t
is to be hoped the next legislature
| will enact the law so urged by the
Governor. His message of 1871
contains this:
1 am of the opinion that law
for the registry of the qualified
electors of the Territory prior to
an election is highly necessary.
By, it, ample time is given for ex-
Guiding from the roll all but legal
voters, while if this duty be re-
served for election day with the
surrounding excitements often at
tendant, even with the most
scrutinizing care, illegal votes ar
liable to be polled. In the pre-
paratiOn of such a law, great care
should be taken to afford facilities
for the registration of electors
with the least possible inconven-
fence.
And here is that in his message
of 1873. made more pointed by bis
observation Of the election in
1872;
In my former message, / urged
upon the legislature the import
ance OF a egIstry law Time and
experience have served 10 con

liable to be used, in the heat and
excitement of election day by de-
signing men, to cast illegal votes.
Nothing so demoralizes and ex-
asperates the people as being de-
prived of their rights by fraud.
l hope that such safeguards will
be placed about the ballot box, as
will insure fair elections by the
legal voters of the Territory.
We copy the above from the
arizona Citizen and would iOin in
calling the attention of our newly
elected legislature to the import.
ance of enacting registry law.
