OUR fellow citizens of Mexi- can birth celebrated the anniver- sary of Mexican Independence last Wednesday, the 18th. The young men were so ardent to commence the celebration that they began firing anvils about sun-down the day before, and kept it up pretty lively most of the night, so that when the an- niversary dawned their powder was about all gone and there was very little firing during the day. At night a fac ball was given at the house of Jesus RedOud0.

MOURNFUL CAT-AsTR0PHE.

Four beautiful Maltese Thomas cats committed suicide at the government corral last Monday. The circumstances of this cat egorical culmination offeline folly are thus reported to us by our long-shore reporter. These beau tiful cats were the ornament and the pride of the government cor ral. Their delightful and soul- stirring notes as they held their midnight concerts and camp meetings on the roofs of the ad- joining sheds, made sleep plea. sant and profound and lent a charm to the homes devoted to re- pose. Although rats and mice abounded in great numbers, those high toned cats declined to have anything to do with such small game, preferring to feed by stealth from the tables and stores of the men employed about the corral. On Monday the men had care lessly left some meat lying loose ly around which contained some thing not wholesome for cats, and hence their sudden demise Be- Ql6jeS-cQt iI1 p0c6.

TIE editor of the Tucson C5tj- zen is quite enthusiastic over the prospect ofa r4i.Io4-d from Quay mas to Tucson, and we do not blame him for it. It seems that the people of Sonora are equally enthusiastic about this great en- terprise, but there seems to be 8 block in the way that we fear will not soon be removed. The editor says: "The only obstacle now in the way of the commencement Of the work, is the legalization by the Supreme Government of Mex leo, the legislation the State ol Sonora has already enacted. :"
 Very true, that seems to be the only obstacle, but the action Of the last session of the Mexican Con- gress and the experience ot RoSe- crans and other railroad men do not leave any very strong reason to hope that the obstacle will be soon removed. However. the next Congress of Mexico may be com posed of more progressive men

1t is one of the lamentable signs o
our fallen times, that fathers anC
mothers are asleep on the subject O1
education. We need a crusader tC
sound the blast in the ears of our peO
pie to awaken them to sense of theil
duty, in this matter. 1t is shame, a
crying shame, for white men and wo
men, nurtured in the arts and sciences
of this 18th century, to turn out their
flesh and blood, thus unprepared for
the rude and stormy battle of life, and
destined to become hewers of wood
and drawers of water, those families,
those peoples, and those nations Of
the earth, who amid prosperity or ad-
veasity, led along their children
through the schools, colleges and
universities, and. thus clad in the
mailed armor of the sharpened intel
lect and aspiring soul of high culture
to win and to conquer. Our lot is
cast amid stormy and shifting scenes,
and our hearts are almost crushed un-
der the oppression of our ungenerous
rulers. Shall we give the children of
our land a superficial and smattering
education whence they cannot delve
into the recesses and fountains of gen.
eralized thought, or, resting on the
the basis of common place utilitarian
civilization, submit to New England
ideas, and, finally New England poll
tics :? Educated intellect individual
ly or nationally, prostrates brute
force. The sheet anchor of the
Southern people is in her educated
sons and daughters. When the
spring time comes, as come it will in
the eternal fitness Of things, let her
educated sons, who are ever the wor-
shippers at the shrine of good gov
ernment. be equal to the emergency.
