"Paeiae Coast Series"

Governor Stafford has placed upon our desk, this series of school book: by A. L. Bancroft 6 O., of San Fran cisco. The volumes consist of a spell ling book and five readers. The iSpeller is like all others, incomplete,
 but ss good as the best in use. Many
 of the noted primary teachers of the country, have totally discarded spell
 ling books, and We believe rightfully,
 and we do not speak without practical experience in primary teaching.
 However, the Pacific Coast Speller is, ss We have said, as good ss the
 best in use, snd we give its rules for spelling and their arrangement pref erence over any we have ever eI. amined.
 , The five Readers are excellent, but we think not superior to the MoGuffey Series, nor to Sanders; though they have peculiar Pacific Coast features of value, without detracting from their general usefulness and adaptation in expanding the youthful mind. The matter of the Series is wholly un- oblectionsbl It is moral and in- structive without being denomins- tionsl or partisan in tone, and in cludes prose and poetry writings of the very best authors of this country and some of the best of Europe. Mark Twain simple description of tho process of working silver ores i'll the stamp mills of Nevada, Is at once thorough snd within the comprehen- sion of everybody, and contribution highly worthy the place it occupies in the Fourth Reader.
 The Series has been adopted by the Territorial Boarc of Education for use in Arizona, and that too on very advantageous terms. In the first place, all kinds of books have been used. and by the introduction of the new Series. uniformity is sucured; and. secondly, the books are placed in the children's hands at no cost to the parents or guardians. This is effected by Bancroft k Co. giving @ new Speller or Reader for an old one of any other kind, and trusting to sales to those who have no books, now and hereafter, to reimburse them.
 We would not recommend the dis placement of the McGuffey Series for this one, but where uniformity of text books is wanting. and & new Series is necessary to supply the want, We would say try the Pacific Coast. In its general characteristics, We regard it as ranking with the best. and owing to its desirable local features with cut prejudice t. the general ones, we would give 1t preference in making change.

 A smart shock of earthquake was felt in Yuma last Monday morning about ten minutes past nine o'clock. It lasted only about two seconds and did no damage. The tallest houses rocked little, just enough to make loose things rattle. Two lighter shocks, perceptible to only a few persons. occurred afterward at inter vals of about fifteen minutes.
 On Wednesday at l:l5 r. .M.. An- other shock was felt It only lasted about one second and was like a quick jerk from north to south. Other places, more ambitions, may keep their earthquakes. We didn't apply for any ill Yuma.

IL Is the best Of reading for the household, exceed ingly interesting and instructive for young people. It Is gooo for men Of all classes, for it tells about life in its various phases and conditions. It Is good for women, for lt tells how women lived, and how they were treated in times gone by. Itis of in- terest to the architect for it tells and Illus trates all about the architecture Of a peo- pie once noted for large cities, huge monu- ments and magnificent palaces.

CASTOR BEANS AND SQUIRRELS. A gentleman who knows says that ill order to get rid of gophers and squir- rels he will, the coming season. plant castor beans around the border of his fields, the bean plant being deadly poison to these pests, which put out for other fields to depredate. The bean also pays to cultivate. the market price being four cents per pound in San Francisco. The true cas- tor bean of commerce, it should be remembered, is also poisonous in its green state If taken into the human stomach.

The local of the Jefferson Simple
cute stole a counterfeit nickel last SUM
day from defunct freedman's eyes
and then passed it on Il little blind girl
for glass of "goobers"-his usual
square meal-with IL drink of bayou
water. Feeling virtuous he started to
church, but meeting a skunk behind
John Sedberry's offered TO play him n
game of leap-frog for the "goohers"
against IA dead chicken, which had
been heavily insured and had come tn
au untimely grave by some foul means.
A prominent hotel man of Austin
street present wanted the chicken for
the next Queen Nab supper, but the
skunk stakea IL against the "goobcrsn
and won the game, which was n warm
one, fairly. Jimp. refused to give up
either chicken or COOLERS. The skunk
made hot battle with his natural
weapons but was finally overpowerert
and "foaming fled the fight" leav-
ing limp. master of the field. Jimp.
then made a sumptuous repast of the
chicken, feathers and all, with COOLERS
for dessert, aud after standing off Fled
Ter for drink of old nourhon, crawleti
into his hole under the bridge and fell
asleep, lulled by the ripping waters OF
Cypress bayou aud the proud con-
sciousness of another day well spent.

under the control of men who are
thoroughly alive to the interests OF
Dallas, and to the development, in
this section, of blooded stock and the

ii is impossible to Overestimate the
benefits that will accrue from this so

it will attract scores of visitors rom
the surrounding country. 1T viii at

visitors, inventors to exhibit evidences

laudable rivalry. The manufacturers
of the country will enter for competi-

On the whole, few enterprises have
