living nearest to them as the kindesi
 of neighbors, and all strangers receive
 hearty welcome among them. They
 appear to be sincere and devoted in their religious belief, and give proof of
 their sincerity by self denial n cheer
 fully going far away from centres of civilization and building up new
 homes They profess to base t..eir be-
 lief and draw their inspiration from the sacred pages ofthe Bible, and claim as their guide the golden rule. All this is we'll and in this picture of beau
 ty there k to be found but one dark spot, and that is their belief in the right 10 have a plurality of wives.
 From a free and frank conversation with MT. Lake understand that while they believe in this right, only those with single wIves have been selected 10 come to Arizona, and il k their in tentiOn in future to give a Willing obe- dIence to all our laws This being the case l can see no reason why their immigration should not be welcomed and encouraged by every true friend of the Territory. The health of the young colony has been excellent, which they mainly attribute to the absence of drugs among them and only using such herbs and roots as they can find, in case of sickness. There have been seventeen births since their arrival, and a matronly old lady told me with evident satisfaction that this was but q small beginning of what might be ex- pected to follow. They have d splen- did, robust looking lot of children, and the mothers are very fond of showing them to newcomers. They are very desirOus of having schools and will at once build four schOOl-hOuses and or gaRiZe school districts under the gcner al school law of the Territory They do not complain of the injustice of paying their taxes this veal, but say it puts them 10 serious inconvenience, as they had 70 send some of their people away to work and earn money while they were much needed al home But the money had been earned and was put aside ready to be sent by the first safe hands. This leads me to think and suggest that the toll worn immi- grant who has come here with his " fe and little ones to make a new home, and who in so doing has expended all his ready money, should be exempt at least during the first year from the burihen of taxation There are several thriving settlements at Springerville and at other points higher mp on the Little Colorado, and with its agricultur- al and grazing facilities this section is determined tO become a wealthy, populous and prosperous portion of the Territory.

A LATE mum Der of the Alta, edito- rially speaking of the Indian problem and disposition as presented anew in the nondescript Sioux campaign says
 Humanity revolts at the idea of slaughiering them (the Indians,) eX- cept in battle; and our Army, during the past season, has shown a most la mentable inability or disinclination to do that. It iS against the custom of this journal to find fault with the militia " in their ioilsome and inglorious pur- SuIt of the Indians. There is little save the sense of duty to urge the soldier on his unpleasant service. But 1t cannot help saving that some fatality has attend ed the Army movements during the past year in the Black Hills country and adjacent regions in their Indian expe- dIiiOnS. Whether it was the result of official jealousy or not, one cannot tell.

THE AUTHOR OF KATHLEEN MA voURNEEN. ."-The statement is on its travels that Thomas Crouch, the author of Kathleen MavOurneen, t" who serv- ed in the Confederate army, is now living quietly in his Southern home F. Nichols Crouch, a popular English composer, is the author of that beauti- ful ballad. He was a viOlOncellist in London in 1877, and came to this coun- try with an Italian opera troupe Tn 1S4S Several years later the writer knew him as a successful teacher in Portland, Maine If F. Nichols Crouch entered the Confederate army, 1t must have been at an age when most men prefer to sit around the house in slippers and amuse their grandchildren Is this case of "ThOmas Crouch like those of the alleged authors of Rock Me to Sleep Mother" " and Beautiful Snow ? 2"-Christian Union.

Greenbacks at ParIu Silver.

The result of exchanging Silver coin for fractional currency has been just what was predicted, namely, the low ering of Silver coin to the value of Le- gal Tenders. The best bid for subsid- iary Silver in New York is 91 cents to the dollar, and Greenbacks are worth as much by the same standard. Paper and hard money circulate side by side in the Atlantic States. There has been upwards of $2O.OOO,0OO in subsidiary Silver exchanged for fractional curren- cy and Greenbacks. The amount is but a drop in the bucket as compared with the volume of paper currency still outstanding. The only help for Silver coin is combination of cir cum>tances that will depress ihe price of Gold and increase the value of fine Silver. Such a chain of events would also ;di>e the price of Greenbacks, and bring the three currencies more nearly into harmony than they have been in fourteen years-S r. Bulletin.

A Creed.

hold that Christian grace abOunds Where charity Is seen; that when We climb to heaven, 'tis on the rounds oflove to men. l hold all else, named piety,
 A selfish scheme, vain pretense; Where center Is not can there be Circumference? This moreover hold and dare
 Affirm where'er my rhyme may go, Whatever things be sweet or fair. Love makes them so. Whether 1t be the lulIabies
 That charm to rest the nursling bird, Or that sweet confidence ofsighs And bushes made without a word. Whether the dazzling and the flush Ofsoftly sumptuous garden bowers. Or by some cabin door or bush
 Ofragged flowers. Iris not the wide phylactery,
 Nor stubborn fast or stated prayers, That makes us saints; we judge the tree By what it bears. And when a man can live apart From works, on theologic trust, know the blood about his heart Is dry as dust.

THE PROFITS OF THE CENTENNIAL ExHIBITIoN.-Out of thirty thousand exhibitors here there are but few who are not satisfied with the amount ot goods which they have sold. The Ja panese and Chinese will go back to their homes with bursting pockets, and with an ardent desire to come again. The English and French have done very well. especially in the sale or ar ticles of ornament, the potteries, and obiects of household art The Austra- Hans have sold d great many things, but even had they no t. ade they would be perfectly satisfied with the magnlf- cent advertisement, which they obtain ed for thelr continent by the EXhlbl- .tion- As for the Tnrks, the Egyptians, the Portuguese and the Russians, they have been sold pretty well out for some time past, and would gladly had duplicated their whole stock could they have done so in time. The Rus sians especially had immense success. An international shopping bazaar ought to be one of the features of our great cities. The stock company that would establish it would coin money. Spain has fared but poorly; but Spain brought comparatively little to sell. The naughty dons were chiefly anX- ious to show that their country has not reirograded in ;he last two or three centuries so much as Is popularly sup posed, and I think they have done Il. As for our own exhibitors, they have not only sold great numbers of articles. but they are justly counting on i'm mense sales in the near future, sales which will be directly due to the in- fiueuce of this Exhibition. The in stances in which new lines of trade have already been established since May 10th, between our own and other countries are very numerous-are mul- liplyiDg daily.-Edward King in Bos- ton Journal

4 MINER, with a revolver in each bootleg, and a gallon of whiskey un- der his hat, was loungiug in the streets of Deadwood City, in the Black Hills, when suddenly a stranger happened to brush against him.

UNDER the head Heat in Arizona, the San Bernardino Guardian of Octo Der 4, publishes the following:
 An Eastern gentleman engaged ir mining in Arizona, writes as follows "The weather is hot beyond belief Never, I think, less than ninety de grees in the shade, and from that up t. 120 degrees. There is no lumber in the country, and all the building has to be done with cottonwood poles, and hauled five miles on jackasses to the mine In addition I have had tC pack water five miles, as we have had no rain, and the tanks at the mine are exhausted. We have now killed three rattlesnakes in the house, besides any quantity of scorpions, etc. In open ing my trunk 1 was stung on the finger by a scorpion. bound a pOultice Oi onions and tobacco on the wound and drank three full pints of whiskey. Il made me very drunk, and 1 think kill ed the other poison, although my whole hand and arm was numb for a day or two. It is a pretty hard cnun- try, three men have already died of thirst near here. My last letters were sent here from the - Mine (only fourteen miles distan0 by an old Scotchman. The letters did not arrive, and we searched for him and found him dead, only four miles from camp. He was stripped and his nails were worn from hIs hands by scratching i'll the
 
 twice and brought in men who were crazy and blind and speeches. from thirst. The sun is terribly hot, and the rocks so hot that they blister the flesh if touched"
 A friend found the above in the Guardian and sent it to us asking what we thought of the writer thereof. We don't know what to think. 1t is a stand of in our mind whether the man is lyIng to make his correspondence lively or telling the truth. The whole statement has a suspicious flavor of a vision resulting from the "poultice of onions and tobacco" and the "three full pints of whisky" His statement is carelessly drawn up. He should have mentioned the kind of whisky. Now there is a class of whisky along the stage routes in California that would not only make Arizona appear hot to the drinker and make hlm see bugs and things but which would send a glow of summer heat to the heart of Green,and's icy mountains. Never theless the writer may be telling the truth. He should have stated what part of Arizona he wrote from. There is a strip of this Territory in places along the Colorado, within reach of the terrible California deserts on the other side of the river, that is more or less affected by the heat and burn ing blasts therefrom. California pa pers are very fond of telling of heat and sterility in Arizona. Our worst parts are those affected by California I. .uBo pLvzU U9A9 Qo!qN uo 'slIes9p live. whereas there is no spot Tn AIlZ0- na where d lizard cannot do well enough if he takes proper care ot his person and attends carefully to his diet.
