Written for the Weekly Arizona Miner. WHEN YOU'RE DOWN.
IBY ROBERT pUD6EoS.l l

  When legions of friends always bless us, When golden success lights our way, How they smile as they softly address us So cordial good-humored and gay. But, O when the sun of prosperity Hath set, then how quickly they frown And cry ou:, in tones of severity. Kick the man don't you see he's down: When you're up" you are loudly exalted, And traders all sing out your praise; When you're down you have greatly defaulted, And they really don t fancy your ways. Your style was '',ip top" when you'd money, So sings every sucker and clown, But 'tis exceedingly funny, Things are altered because you arc down. When that you knew not a sorrow, Your heart was as open as day, And your friends, while they wanted to borrow. You would oblige and ne'er ask them to pay. What, though not soul you had sighted As you wandered through the town, Your "friends" became very near-sighted, And don't seem to see you when down. Give me the heart that forever Is free from the worlds selfish lust, And whose souls high, noble endeavor Is 10 raise fallen man from the dust. And when, in adversity's ocean, A victim is likely to droxn, All hail to the man whose devotion Will lift up man when he's down.

Morrel informs us that he has raised watermelon vine which measured by accurate measurement l,56O feet in length, including the several branches. This is pretty good as the pro- duct of one seed. It grew near water fau- cet, and the ground was constantly kept in a very moist condition from this faucet.

THIS item is going the rounds. Who is he John Carson, an old "fortyniner" from this coast passed through St. Louis last week en route to his old home in Tennessee. His experience had not been of the most pleasant kind. He had made a fortune and lost it had his share of good and bad luck with apreponderance of the latter. He went to Arizona few years ago, and while skirm- ishing around in search of the precious met als he was captured by a gang of Apaches and kept prisoner for eight months. He made his escape from them while out on horse stealing expedition and turned his face in the direction of the Mississippi. He re- ceived assistance on the way, his destitute connition exciting much sympathy.

BAD LuCK.-W. G. Bartlett, who went to buy bucks for several sheep men here, in cluding c. c. Carpenter, John Arden, John II. Marion and Jim Oneal; got an outfit and bought band of bucks from Bush & Wat son in Los Angeles county, and started for Arizona on the 18th of July, but found it
 impossible to drive them over five miles a day. This would, of course, render it i'm possible to cross the California desert where it would require them in some places to travel several days through the hot sand without water. At the end of three days, finding that he must lose them all if he kept on, he turned back, and now has the bucks on pasture near Spadra. This leaves our sheep men short ofa very essential element in
 the economy of sheep breeding, besides en- tailing very serious loss upon MT. Bartlett.

FooLISH.-The merchants of San Bernar- dino have covenanted with each other in the sum of $500, that they will not patronize the railroad between Los Angeles and Colton, but ship all their goods from San Francisco to Santa Monico, and thence to San Bernar- dino by teams. By this means they hope to prevent the growth of Colton ss a rival to their town. Cotton is three miles from San Bernardno and is on the railroad, while the latter is not. We remember the time when old Peter Var Ness fell sycamore tree in the Sacramento river to obstruct navigation and prevent the growth of rival town aOove Colusa, but it didn't work. Nevertheless, Colusa, backed by good country, Is still a thriving town. San Bernardino's best plan would be to cultivate a close relationship with Colton, and try and keep the country trade by the cheapest and quickest means of transportation.

WHAT SEvENrY-FIvERs MUST DO IN CALL FoKSA.-Said hearty, burly Forty y-niner the other day to one of the genus croaker, in reply to his question "What are these new corners to do?' "Do," said our well-to-do friend, formerly of pick and shovel and rocker; ''do? Why do as 1 did when l ar rived here without dollar-pull off their coats and go to work throw gravel in sluice boxes; hire out on farm, or a ditch, or herd sheep. Do something, do anything, anything and something better will come. You would do better carrying placard for corn doctor at six bits day than what you are doing now" Our friend was perhaps little brusque, but he meant we'll. For the impecnnious man, the prescription given by the Forty-niner offers the only panacia we know off, Los Angeles Star.
 We once had friend in California, now dead, who used to give sage advice to dis coursged immigrants. To one bs said, Go work labor is better paid here than any place in the world, and if you don't like to work for others, do something on your own hook" "What can poor man do to earn 9 living," enquired the new conner. Anything everything Haven't you got feather bed ?" 'Yes, two of them" sThen tie one on your self and the other on your wife, and take contract hatching chickens it will pay bet ter than nything you ever did in the States, and from what have seen of you 1 think the job of setting on the eggs will just suit you"

GhiIJreu's Gardens.

Iyish every mother in the country
knew the great satisfaction TO be de
rived from the little plots Of land the
children cultivate as their own. No
matter how small, it has a peculiar
charm, and, its mixed and incongruOus
paintings often yield astonishing re-
suits. No radi>hes so crisp as those
your little son will lay beside your
plate, the reward for his toll and care.
No flowers so beautiful as those Your
loving daughter bring in some brighi
spring morning, nurtured and rendered
bv her own hands. The earliest hep
alica of the woods grows serenely in
the shadow of Mays tree and Wild
yioIets flourish in Annie's gentle care.
In our home each child has a plot
of ground and an apple tree, the fruit
Of which, always fair and beautiful, is
shared generously, and the surplus
sold for pocket money. Sometimes
am early melon finds its way 10 our
table from the garden of one Of our
industrious boys, and is praised and
and appreciated as reward for his
labor. Little two year old has a gar
den too, and while we try TO teach
him not to pull up the. the happy fam
lily of flowers and vegetables that
thrive there, we delight in his glad
murmur as he rOamS like a true Buhe-
mian in the summer sunshine, saying,
Y gardee, my gardee,' and taking
q whole potato from the cellar where
his restless feet often wander he plants
it Just deep enough for the hens TO
pick out, and nothing daunted sows
handful Of peas over il. But as be
grows older he will learn that this is
not the road to success, and try to
copy the care and vigilance displayed
by his elders. Even Baby Hope
has 4 little circle filed with sweet
wild flowers, brought from the woods
this spring, 10 be ready when she
can gather them,' the children say
and our eager young bolanists are
ever ready to search for a new flower
TO transplant into Hopes garden
By such innocent pleasures home is
made happy and beautifed.-RmuI

WfrUoUr the ghost, what becomes

WlTHoUr the ghost, what becomes
of the play of Hamlet p Without
the railroad, what becomes of the in-
dependent party, and who is to fee
the republican press? Hence the
wrath of the Bulletin and Call over
Stanford's declaration of bis company's
withdrawal from politics. and hence
the howls of the republican papers
who meet Fitch and Pickering on
common ground. They are all equally
interested in keeping the railroad in
the fight, and are alike furious against
Stanford for the stand he has taken.
One crowd are as mad as hornets al
the idea of Stanford Tightening his
purse strings in big campaign, and
the other fears that there will be no
use for the independents, now that
Sargent and Gorham have stolen their
thunder.-S. f. Post.

Interesting paper Oh the potato blight
He commenced by SAYING that the po.
tato rot proceeds from a fungus be-
longing to an extensive family.-Per-

blight is Perouospora intestqus. It's
first appearance was At the Aims
Honse farm, about Two weeks ago,
and it accomplished its work Of de-
Struction with almost incredible rapid
ity. The loss TO the city and county
on this tarn alone will approximate
$4,000. When the fungus has once
begun to develop, lis growth proceeds
with great rapidily- The mycleial
threads are extended in every dircc
ton between the cell structures, the
protoplaSmic elements are appropri
mated by the fungus, and The plant cells
die from exhaustion. On the other
hand, the myceiium forces its way To
the surface Of the leaf, through the
breathing pores or stOmaia, where
branches are thrown off fIom The my
ceIium, each one of which bears an lrs
lip a sporangium. These sporangia
are egg shaped bodies, each containing
from SIX To sixteen zoorSpores. These
latter are motile, when placed in VA
ter, and swim away BY means of ella.
After quarter OF an hour or so the
ella drop off and the spore settles to
the bottom of the vessel, ard Is i'll
condition to germinate. Under The
surface of each leaf there are thousands |
Of such srorangium branches, each I
surmounied by lis spo'angia filed |
with slores.
