ty, they are Obliging, hOspitable and
kind to strangers, and certainly not
without excuse for their lack of energy,
as they truly aver that whatever
worldly goods accumulated by years Of
severe toll, one revolution after anoih-
er swallows up like a maelstrom,
friend and foe suffering alike from
this chronic political disease.
To ali those who may desire to go TO
the Hot Springs, I would earnestly rec
ommend that they take with them a
good strong tent for a dwelling, and
all the necessaries of life, which can
generally not be obtained there with
out going to Magdalena, "a distance of
10 miles, and if sportmgly inclined, u
dozen or SO Of strong fishhooks and u
shot-gun-the former for the plump
inhabitants Of the river and the latter
for the numerous hare and quail
In Maglalena we found the good
honest face of our old friend Joseph
Rothenhaeuser, looking exactly as he
did six years ago, in the midst of his
promising family; also Mr. Late, for
merly employed by Messrs. Jacobs &
Co. Of this town, now III company with
Mr.. Pierson, very accommodating and
successful dealer in general merchan-
disc, and besides the happy posseSsOr
Of Il beautiful and refined wife, doing
the honOrs of the house with notewOr-

their honeymoon last forever. But i'll

do we wish Mr.. Pitrson very long life,
for his possessions, at and around the
mill AT Terrcnate, are the ne plus ultra
of pleasant, cOmmOdiOus and,in every
way desirable residence. His machin
cry which grinds the far-famed flour,
works like a charm, having all theI
modern Improvements that money cam
buy and intelligence set in motion; his
storcrooms and grauaries are filled,
his pOultTyyard well stocked, his gar
dens and orchards filled with fruit trees
and vines, so heavily laden that theI
branches bend under the bOuntiful gifts
of nature. His library combines the
useful with the entertaining and each
mail brings him heavy packages of the
best American magazines and news
papers. His accomplished sister pre-
sides over his household with the gen
uine grace of a French lady and Mr..
MenaFd, temporarily attached to his
family, contributes greatly 70 the socia-
bic intercourse with occasional visitors 4
the conversation is enlivened with in
tel!igent remarks while showing you
over the extensive grounds and build
ings like a true Cicerone. The hospital
ity extended to every one in this little
paradise, is as widely and known ap-
preciated as its flour.
When Will Sonora have its next rev
Olulion? Quien sabe! That is the
only answer you receive to this question
from every body; but those who are
best informed or think they are, firmly
believe that ultimately one of the Pes
quelras will again occupy the Guberna-
torial chair before long, and others most
emphatically doubt it. One old gentle
man in Magdalena, told me with rather
IA sad countenance, that the political
Intrisues of Sonora were beyond the
understanding Of even a Talleyrand,
that they were wrapt in rs deep a mys-
terry as the gates of Hadesa and as hard
a task to solve as the untying of the
famous Gordian knot. lie had given
ut up after some 4G years of sad ex-
perienCe.
Upon our return trip, our hearts were
gladdened by the sight of countless
beautiful flowers of all shades, ferns
and cOlors which the recent rains had
called INTO life. They would be orna-
ments to any garden; especially lovely
and hOmelike were the morning glories
growing by the wayside, clinging to the
numerous oak trees, intermixed with
spotless white lilies, forming a charm
ing ensemble of red, white and blue,
like prophecy that these colors will
yet float in the breeze which gently
sweeps over the grassy hills and dales
OF yonder beautiful but unhappy coun-
try.
Being overtaken by a heavy thunder
storm, We were glad To avail ourselves
of the hospitable roof of the Bosquc,
where we were graciously sheltered by
the accommodating employee Of Mr..
J. T. Smith, who we verify believe
from all appearances at and about his
place, is the model farmer of Arizona.
