Origin Of the Aboriginies.

The origin of the Aboriginies of
America has vexed the scientists for
the last two or three centuries. The
most plausible theory is that they
were descended from the Mongolans,
and entered the country by way of
Behring's straits. The civilization of
Mexico and Peru was exactly similar
to that of the ancient Egyptians and
the monuments left behind were evil
IDENTIFY copied one from the other.
The plans of the palaces Of the rulers,
the temples of the deities, canals for
irrigation, great paved highways, and
the peculiarly constructed fortresses
were brought from the old world. The
HAYDEN surveyin Arizona has thrown
much additional light upon the SUBJ
ject, and demonstrated that the same
migrations of races on the lines of
longitude that characterized the mid
die ages of European history were re-
peated IN America. The Mexicans
and the Peruvians were but more adj
vanced types of the civilization which
existed as far North as the fortieth
parallels of latitude. The original
peaceful and Industrious natives of
New Mexico and Arizona have disap-
peared from the face of the earth, leav-s
ing only their half buried cities and

Third Term Certain.

The wonderful change which has
taken place in the popular mind in
the States since the last election ought
not to discourage the advocates of De-
mecracy. The overwhelming defeat
which has been sustained may prove
most fortunate occurrence, and IN
sure a victorious Presidential cam
paign. The Democratic leaders, In
toxicated with success, deemed they
could sport with the people and resort
to any make-shift to retain their pre-
eminence. This lesson will force to
the rear such political tricksters ana
demagogues as WILLIAM ALLEN, and
consign such thieves and scoundrels
US Tammany represents to the upper
most shelf. The men of ability and
probity will come to the front and
frame q platform embodying the
Democratic and Conservative Opin-
! ions of the people, and make the issue
one of true principles. The conceited
and empty-headed politicians will be
forced to recognize the fact that In
this enlightened country measures
and not men will control the popular
franchise. On the other hand this
victory places the Republican party
In n position which will lead
it to repeat the errors OF the
Democrats. Confident of success
| they will listen to no warnings, and
will go before the country with set
of candidates that the people will not
sustain. 1t unquestionably insures
| GRANTS nomination for third term.
The President and his adherents con-
troll the wires of the party, and the
recent victories will destroy all fears
that these leaders may have had on
the third term issue. In fact, the re-
Mobilization of the party will be inn
puted to the personal influence o!
GRANT, and he will be considered the
backbone OF Republicanism. Then
the money of the Administration will
overcome whatever scruples the old
"war horses may have. With
ULYSSES S. GRANT as n Presidential
candidate, the Democratic nominee, il
he be All able, honest and conservative
man, will be elected. The thinking
classes of the United States will not
endanger Republican institutions by
voting for GRANT or any one else fol
third term. Then the re-appearance
of such men as ZACH CHANDLER. and
BEN BUTLER as Republican leaders
will disgust the honest voters and
drive thousands over to the Democ-
racy, and these men will no longer
keep back seat. May we not reason
ably hope, then, that this defeat will
be the means of rejuvenating the
Democratic party and putting it in a
purer and stronger condition than it
has held for years, and therefore in
sure great victory in the next cam
| paign?

plant Havana and Florida seed, the
latter from the second year California
growing. The frost of April caught
the Havana plants, so that there is a
very limited area of these. The land
was prepared by deep narrowing and
blowing, and no irrigation was resort
ed to, even when the plants were set
out. The first crop had been cut and
cared by the CULP process, and the

his experiment this season, however,
that he will put in larger area next

policy of establishing in connection

tobacco. The enemy of this plant,
the tobacco worm, was found in num-
bers on the ranch, and Captain

as much trouble as in the States.
The frequent statements of the news

benefit to our State. The Baron may
find that n the mines and railroads of

better investment for the many mill

Los Angeles Tobacco Growing.

The era of successful tobacco grow

be inaugurated, or it will be fully

o sufficiently large scale to test its
merits. This gentleman has had the
advantage of experience at Gilroy,

Not so; the tree had bloomed and borne.
