SATURDAY, MARCH III, 1874.

A CALIFORNIA CHURN.-A Washing
ton dispatch of March 10Th says that
Budd Smith and party of Calitornians
are there making vigorous effort to pro-
cure patent for one of the most remark
able inventions of the age He has in
vented churn by which he converts
milk into butter in a few seconds, with
out the aid of any mixture, and with the
loss of only a small quantity Of pure wa
ter. One gallon of milk, which weighs a
little more than eight pounds, is convert
ed in thirty seconds into seven pounds
and three quarters OF butter. His inven
ton has created a sensation in the Patent
Office. The chnrn is constructed in three
parts, one fitting into the other. 1t is
composed of metallic mixture, the prep
aration of which is kept a secret by the
inventor. When the milk is placed in
the churn it is believed that the trans
formation into butter is caused by galvan-
ic action. 1t is impossible ta distinguish
between butter made in this way and that
made by the ordinary process. 1t APP
pears also, to have the same amount of
fatty matter that is found in general but
ter. The scientists of the Patent O;lice
confess themselves puzzled. Smith says
he dreamed the invention ont about II
the counties of Shasta, Siskiyou and Tc-
hama, in Northern California; where he
lived, in order to procure funds to enable
him TO get the patent. The process is be-
ing worked secretly with great success
and profit lie has sold the right for CAL
fornia and several other States. and pro-
churn under heavy bonds not to let il go
out Of his possession, or to allow any 9TH
er perscn to use it or obtain the secret
through examination OF the metallic sub
stance. Private exhibitions have been
given to a large number of prominent
Senators. He has been invited to exhibit
it before the public, and offered 81 900 II
week to exhibit it at one of the leading
theaters here, but has declined. AS soon
as he gets the patent he will sell the rights
for all large cities and States, and expects
to realize several million dollars on the
sales. The opinion has been expressed
by one scientific man who has watched
the process Of making butter with this
churn, that the product must be kind
of soap, caused by the combining of wa
ter and fatty particles Of the milk. The
matter has been conducted very secretly
heretofore, but now the inventor is be-
sieged with applications for shares in the
new enterprise. Last night the parties
interested gave an exhibition of this won
derful churn to correspondents OF the va
rious papers throughout the country
The right for San Francisco is disposed
Of to Mr.. Martin, owner OF the ice pnt-
ents, for 500, ,0O0.

APPEARANCES.

How little we know of each other
How ready we are to condemn,
And lazily drift with the current
'Twore manly and noble to stem
Whom could We but know tho temptations,
And trials of trail ones that fall.
Our Judgment were tempered with mercy
And tendcr compassion for all.
How little we know of each other
How dim in Prosperity's ray,
Tho trials and struggles that cover,
Like guilt from the eyes of the day!
And the woes of the houseless. tho homeless
The fiondless ON Poverty's road.
May, even in death, be unhooded,
And visible only-to God.
How little we know of each other!
Tho brand of dishonor and shame
If truth were rs current as ialsehood
Might canonize many a name
The cuprit might put on the crmine
The silver be free from its dross,
And Crimo's ghastly gibbot, transtigured
To Martyrdom's glorious cross.

THE SIAMESE TWINS

Some years since "Mark Twain " ap
piled his intellect to the task of giving
sketch of the character, habits and pc
culiarities of the Samese Twins. lie
existing between these two brothers is SO
close and SO refined that the feelings, the
impulses, the emotions of the one are in
stantly experienced by the other When
one Is sick, the other is sick when one
is angered, the others temper takes fire.
We have already seen with what happy
felicity they both fell in love with tho
same girl. How Chang is bitterly opposed
all forms of intemperance, on principle
but Eng is the reverse-ior, while these
men S feeling and emotions are SO closely
welded, their reasoning faculties are un
fettered their thoughts are tree. Chang
belongs to the Good Tcmplars, and i,
hard working and enthusiastic supporter
of all temperance reforms. But, to his
bitter distress, every now and then Eng
gets drunk, and Of course, that makes
Chang drunk, too. This unfortunate
thing has been great sorrow to Chang,
for it almost destroys his usefulness in
his favorito fold OF effort. As suro MS he
is to head great temperance procession
Eng ranges along side of him prompt to
the minute, and drunk as n lord but no
more dismally and hopclessly drunk than
his brother, who has not tasted "a drop.
And so the two begin to hoot and yell,
and throw mud and bricks at the Good
/ Templars, and of course they break up
the procession. 1t would be maniIestly
wrong to punish Chang for what Eng
does, and. therefor, the Good Tcmplars
accept the untoward situation, and suffer
in silence and sorrow. They have oni-
cially and deliberately examined into the
matter, and find Chang blameIess. They
have taken the two brothers and filed
Chang full of warm water and Eng full
Of whisky, and in twenty-five minutes it
was not possible to tell which was the
drunkest. Both were as drunk as looms
and on hot whisky punches, by the
smell Of their breath it seemed. Yet
all the while Chang's moral principles
were unsullicd, his conscience clear and
so all just men were forced to confess
that he was not morally, but only ply
sically drunk. By every right and by
every moral evidence tho man was strict
ly sober and, therefore, il caused his
friends all the more anguish TO sec him
shake hands with the pump, and try to
wind his watch with his nigh key.
There is II moral in these solemn warn
ings-or, at least, warning in these sol
/ emn morals one or the other. No matter,
it is somehow. Let us keep it let US
+ profit by it.
/ ! could say more Of an instructive ma
ture about these interesting beings, but
let what / have written suffice.
Having forgotten 10 mention it sooner,
| will remark, in conclusion, that the
ages of the Siamese Twins are respect
lively ffty-one and iifty-three.

NOVEL WAY OF EGoTIATING A
LoAN.-As one Of our eX members was
proceeding to the depot, the other day,
he was accosted by an impecunious in
dividual. who solicited the loan Of $50.
On being asked for what he wanted it, he
replied that he wished to purchase cof-
fin for his wife. :" Is your wife dead ?"
inquired the gentleman. No." said
the other, "but she is going to die,
you are going away, and there is no one
else Of whom Lean procure the money"
Well" said the ex-Hon., when your
wifei dies, telegraph to me and l will re-
NIT the amount" The lady is still alive,
with no prospect of giving up the ghost
at present. The husband was evidently
of Mrs. Toodle's way of thinking, if she
should die, coffin would be "A handy
thing to have in the house. Gttroy Id

Press PRIvILEGEs.-Deadheadi can
sometimes be carried too far. A young
lady in Georgia, while attending fair,
endeavored to raise money for the under
taking by offering to permit male visitors
to kiss her at ten cents a kiss. Every
thing proceeded smoothly until the editor
of daily came in, and he insisted upon
taking kisses free because he was a mem
of the press. They put him out. This
is probably the same man who, when he
was married. wanted the clergyman to
take his wedding fee out in advertising,
and gave to his bride as a present Il
double -barreled gun, which he won at a
rattle in which he had tn ee deadhead
chances

A GREAT many complex relationships
come about by marriage. We have heard
of the mother and daughter who married
brothers, and who thereafter addressed
each other as sisters and also Of the
young man who, on being asked by a
judge whether he had father and moth
er, said he wasn't quite certain whether
he had or not f; first, his father died and
then his mother married again, and then
his mother died and his father married
again, and now he didn't know exactly
whether they were his father and mother
or not.

THERE are two Indian tribes in Maine
the Passamaquades and the Penob-
scots, and each are represented in the
Legislature by one Of their own number.
These two representatives Of the red men
take no part in legislation, but are al
lowed to draw their pay just the same as
the representatives Of the white man.
They spend most oftheir time during the
session in the rotunda, engaged in pipe
smoking and in chatting with each other
in the dialect Of their fathers.

Rockers Ranch and stock.

As an Arizona institution of rec ce n t building up, H. c. Rockers ranch in this county is worthy of mention. It is less than two years since he located on the open plain about ten miles this side of Camp Grant and just north of the north line Of the Chiricahua Indian reservation. And, by the way, he thinks with such tempting chances constantly before their eyes, the Chiricahua Indians have not stolen an animal from the ranch. It was originally located by Mr. Hooker ;n con nection with Wm. B. Hooper & Co.,. from which they supplied the Indian reserva- tions with beef. But he at once saw it's value and improved accordingly. He has sown in all abOat &250 worth of blue grass and clover seed, and has now stacked two hundred tons Of fine clover hay. His cor ralS are large and strongly built, and his stables for hOrteS are genuine buildings not sheds-Securcly closed with locks on the doors. He has lately sold off thOu- sands of dollars worth of stock, and still has 30G0 head of fine cattle and lG0 horses. Two of his stallionS, he values at thou sands of dollars. Among his cattle, he has forty head of fine bulls ranging from eighteen months tU five years of age, and are nearly thorough bred. He has five Kentucky bulls that are first grade. He is thinning ont the tow grade stock and in- tends growing up the finest of cattle and horses. He has in contemplation the bringing of very large herd of hcrseS from California-the poorest for sale and the best for breeding.

San Carlos Agency,

By various accounts, we are advised that this agency surpasses any in Arizona for discipline and various branches Of in- dustry, including the bringing of land under cultivation and building cf houses out of material prepared by the Apaches. Agent J. F. Cum, on taking charge last August, found a divided authority over the Indians on the reserve, and at once assumed complete control The Indians had some privileges which be found it better to deny them, and the system of labor and payment therefor needed i'm provement and he improved it. He remov- ed the Indians of the military ground but kept them near by in case of emergency.
 Each of the several bands now have separate villages or clusters of huts, and some pride is being excited as to the neatness maintained by each. He gives them nothing, but requires so much labor for blanket, and specific amount for other articles. The Indians make adobes and build houses blow land and cultivate it under the direction of a head farmer. Early in this month, 100 acres were sown In wheat and barley and some up and growing nicely. He intends to continue breaking land, sowing and planting up to February. The Apaches are careful not to put a foot on growing crops. They have built extensive agency buildings with but the aid of one experienced mason, and are building adobe houses for themselves. Agent Cum has small hand mill with which he grinds some grain, and hopes soon to have one large enough to grind all the corn and wheat needed for all the Indians. Comparatively ineXpen- sive machinery is needed, and the Gila affords ample water power to propel it. We understand Agent Cum is determined to have a model set of self-supporting Apaches, and the moment he discovers his inability-which he does not anticipate to succeed he will resign. Weare very much pleased to hear of his rapid success and determination for continued success, and that the Indians fully recognize the value of his management and their own eY ertions for support.

Cheerful Reports.

Governor Stafford returned from trip Oi about one month 10 California, by stage last Sunday. During his absence he saw and conversed with tie wealthiest mining men on the Pacific coast, and he feels quite sanguine that very soon they will be induced to take hold of Arizona mines, and impart new life and prosperity to the Territory-such as we sadly need and have long waited for.
 The Governor succeeded in interesting parties engaged in the manufacture Of beet sugar tD the extent of agreeing to put up d large manufictOry in the Territory, provided the beet grown here contains the necessary Saccharine matter. Of course this can only De known by producing and testing the beetS. The Governor brought WIIh him a lot of seed of the sugar beet, which he desires to distribute to persons who will plant it and send hlm sample of the hects when matured, for testing. \ mill will be erected as soon as the beetS prove to be Of good quality Ter sugar mak- ing, and where the best advantages exist for wood, water and land.
 The GOVeruor is in high spirits over the success of his trip to California;, and we believe it will result in great benefit to the welfare of Arizona.

THERE is misunderstanding about the way seeds and grain are sent out from Washington. The Agricultural Depart ment sends all that is sent-members of Congress none; but with rare exceptions, they are all sent to mem bers of the Senate and House and Governors at their home address. Parties wanting such seeds and grain, are informed that nothing passes free through the mails, and that matter re- mailed, subjects it to full postage again. The AgrIcultural Department has sent packages Of seeds to Delegate McCor- mick'S address at Tucson, and to Governor Stafford, which are distributed on applica- ton.
