A Little MoraIizing.

AS a general thing, I think it may be
set down for self-evident fact that we
do not die soon enough-in most cases
we'd all be better off if we died ten years
before we do. It might not be money
in our pockets, exactly, SO to do, but in
the majority of cases 'twould be better
for our regulations, our comfort, and
all, if we died earlier-before we're
found out, | was going to say, but won't!
Here Is the Beecher matter, forinstance;
If all the men, women and children con-
cerned, directly or indirectly, had died
ten years ago, wouldn't it have been
deal better for them? Understand, I
do not say that it would only ask the
question. It SO happened that was
present at MIR. Beecher's sermon on the
death of Sumner. The clergyman very
distinctly stated that the statesman did
not die quite so soon as he ought to have
died for his fame's sake. And my dar-
ing mind at once jumped from that sim
gle statement to the general proposition
which L have now advanced. But did
not look to see an illustration of the
truth so soon in the preachers own case.
Nor do profit by the wisdom thus
gained in mine own. For instance, I
am publishing a book. Now un-
doubtedly the best thing for me to 90
IN life were to die before that book is
published-but I don't mean to, if I
can help it. 'Tis not the common GUS
tom to practice individually what one
breaches. During the late unpleasant
ness, I labored very hard to make my
countrymen understand how clearly it
was their duty to step forward and be
killed, but for all that I never went to
the front and got killed myself. Very
few did, indeed, who talked about it as
a Christian duty John Paul.

A GRAVE REsPoNsIBnITY.- paper

relates the following story of fellow
who pledged himself not to drink a drop
of liquor either inside or outside of q
house for two years. Soon after he
passed saloon where three of his for
mer companions were taking their drop
in comfort, andhecould not help stopping
and casting one mournful look of longing
within. One of them invited him to
join them. Oh, no." said he "I wish
could, but I've sworn not to take a
drop either inside or outside of a house
for two years. - stOh," says one. ssyou
can have one for all that wen lift Won
and you can drink half inside the house
and half out" So they raised him up.
while the third filed and passed the
bottle. He took one long drink. and
was just drawing breath for another.
when one of his supporters shifted a
little, and he shouted. 'sOh, hold me
even, boys, my souls in your hands,"

A FRIGHTFU1 revenge was taken by a
rejected lover in North Carolina, one
day lately. The youth had been court
ing q young lady for some time, and as
she fatty refused to marry him, he
grew frantic, and suddenly seized one
of her ears with his teeth. Her pierc-
ing shrieks at once brought all the fam
lily to her aid, but the father of the girl
had to insert an iron pot-hook between
the teeth of the wretch before he would
let go his hold. A physician was called,
and it was found necessary to ampntate
the ear, as it was too severely mutilated
to preserve.

How SHEEP Cor INTO AusrRAn1A.-In

How SHEEP Cor INTO AUSTRALIA In
1897 three Merino rams and five ewes
were carried to Australia but SO slow
did wool growing increase, that it was
not until 1907, ten years later, that the
first bale of wool was shipped thence to
England. But the focks of Australia
did not originate from that source. Mr..
Hayes tells us that the development of
fne-wool husbandry in those colonies
was the result of an accident. Some
English whalers captured in the South
Seas, about the beginning of the present
century, vessel proceeding to Peru
from Spain, in which there were some
300 Merino rams and ewes. These sheep
were carried to Australia, and originat-
ed the fine Merino wool husbandry
which to-day plays SO important part
in the fine wool supply of the world

SUMNER, SWEET, GooD-BY.

Gold and red and purple leaves
FIutter down the wind;
With the snow af thistle-down
ALI the lanes are lined.
Hurrying birds are flying high,
Singing: Summer, sweet, good-by
Summer, sweet, good-by!"
Sheaves are nodding In the sun,
As IL passed along,
In gay, fantastic rout,
Summers fairy throng.
Where the fading willow swings,
Where the nest, deserted, clings,
Listen to the brook that sings:
"Summer, sweet good-byI"
Woodlands whisper sad farewells
Squirrels frfsk and spring;
Patter, patter rain and nuts,
For their harvesting.
F1ocks of merry birds go by,
Meath the hearts unclouded sky,
Hopeful, trustful, while we sigh;
"Summer, sweet, good-by!"

STUoooNa. finish house in what
is called rough cast, is done by throw
ing or splashing upon the mortar, while
it is yet soft, mixture of freshly slaked
lime, water, and clean, fine gravel,
which is Immediately brushed over and
pebbles, and bits of earthenware and
other materials are sometimes dashed
on, instead of using the sifted gravel.
We would not advise the use of 1aths,
for, should they warp, the mortar is
liable to crack. The rough cast should
be made on either brick or stone work.

A GENTLEMAN at Lake George, after
waving his handkerchief for half an
hour or more to an unknown lady, whom
he discovered at distant point on the
shore, was encouraged by warm re-
sponse to approach his charmer. I'm
agine his feelings, when on drawing
nearer, he saw that it was his own dear
wife whom he had left at the hotel but
a short time before. ''Why, how re-
markable we should have recognized
each other at such distance, /" exclaim-
ed both in the same breath and then
they changed the subject.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World gives an encouraging account of
the improved condition of the Irish
people. Wages have advanced, and the
reform of the land law has had most
excellent effect. The aggregate invest
ments in government stocks and banks
in 1864 were e54. 888, 900, but in 1874
amounted to e67 ,362, 600. Although in
thirty years Ireland has lost 5000. 900
of her people, the relative proportion of
Catholics and Protestants remains un-
changed. The old faith does not die
out, although the emigrants are for the
most part Catholics.

Gray cats quickest tempered. Black
cats are slowest. Maltese cats are not

eyes half covered by the black pupils.

GRAY was the most fastidious of

he expunged the following beautiful

'sI wonder that Gray could have had
the heart to omit such lines -:

THE SAN CARLOS OUTBREAK

Our readers are familiar with the results of this affair which occurred the last of January, but as to the causes which in duced it, they may not be. Having been interrogated by many as to why it occur red, we published February II, that it was " feared the cause Is indescribably disgrace "ful;" and also stated we had an abiding " faith that the facts will sooner or later be ascertained with sufficient defniteness "to satisfy the public upon whom the " blame should rest"
 At the time and for weeks thereafter, there were rumors, statements, and quite positive averments by various parties who professed to know something of San Carlos affairs, that justified our remark; Ut as all were somewhat conflicting, we prefer red to not prejudice the case for or against any one and await an investigation which it seemed absolutely essential should be made. And such an investigation has been made by General Crook and here is what he says:
 I investigated the matter of the Indians leaving the reservation, and am fully con vinced that no white men had anything to do with their going out, but the job was set up by Cocheney and party. The Gila was very high and it was with great diff culty even buck Indian could swim it. All the Indians were encamped on the op- posite side from the agency. They were induced to get on C ''tiz-win" :" drunk, and, when in this condition, Cocheney told the Indians he was going to make an attack and that they would all be killed for com plicity If they did not go to the mountains. Some of the Indians swan the river and told our people of it. While absentthe fam flies of the ones who gave the news, were
 forced off, and in that way they were all induced to go.
 It is pleasure to give these points to the public. That they exist, proves our pru-
 dence and justice in not printing any of
 the many statements made to us with a l view to have censure attach to innocent l parties. With these remarks, we again | rest the case under consideration.

Last Saturday at Sulphur Springs-Chir- icahua agency-Maj. c. H. Veil wrote us as follows:
 Maj. Randall came into San Carlos on the 18th. He struck EskiminZin and his band in Pinal mountains about fifteen miles northeast of Florence, and killed eleven bucks, captured lot of squawS 50 odd), forty horses and mules, large lot of ammunition, some arms and all camp eQuipage.
 The Indians had a strong and fortified position on the highest point of mountain and were the first to open fire. Casualties, three men wounded, Randall and Ham, iltOn had narrow escape. Randall says the White mountain Indian soldiers be- haved Splendidly.
 The Apaches will only behave after the severest experience, and they are now having it at the hands of the troops under an energetic and successful commander and faithful, hard working subordinate officers. The idea that the Apaches can be whipped too much before thelr com plete submission to proper authority, is sheer nonsense and unworthy respectful consideration by any one having authori- ty. It is great comfort to exposed farm CTS, teamsters, travellers, miners and herd CTS, that Gen. Crook entertains no such ideas.
 After the above was in type, we received a letter from Camp Grant of date 22d, giv- ing further particulars relating to Major Randall's fight which took place on the Sth early in the morning, and twelve miles south of Camp Pinal. Thirteen were kill ed and thirty-four captured. Cocheney, Chuntz and Pedro with some of thelr Ind ians were then off near Tucson on raid The mother and sister of Cocheney were two of the prisoners who saythat shortly after leaving San Carlos, the Apaches had fight among themselves in which four were killed. This fight was among those who did not want to leave the reserve.

FROM SAN DIEGO.

SAN DIEGO, March 27.-A press dispatch of the 25th from Washington says that it is false that Col. Scott has abandoned the idea of asking aid from Congress for the Texas and Pacific road. It is declared that the publication of Scott's memorial was unauthorized; that the document was only given to Congressman in confidence to test their willingness to support it, and that some Missouri members gave it to St. Louis correspondent It is asserted that Scott has abandoned the idea of combin- ing the Texas and Pacific with the Allan tic and Pacific; also that a company of New York capitalists are negotiating for all rights of the Texas and Pacific, and, if consummated, will put the road through rapidly and at once build the California end as heretofore contemplated. It is gen. erally conceded that no aid will be grant ed by this Congress. Members who would hereafter vote aid will not now, fearing, in the present state of public opinion, the eff fleets on the ensuing elections, no matter how reasonable and just a subsidy might be voted. The San Diego Union says that this is pretty sensation, but in the ab- sence of any authority for the assertions, it will be as well to let it pass for what it may be worth.
