 10 the House committee, that the West

 that he has no power to produce the

 NEW YORK, December 27.-The
 Herald Cincinnati correspondent tele- graphs that he has had a long, full and free conversation with a gentleman just from Washington, whither he went to take part in the movement so much spoken of lately to win some southern men over to Hayes. Several of the Tennessee, North Carolina, Mis- souri and Mississippi CongreSsmen are believed to be willing to lead a break from the Democratic ranks, and a con siderable number are thinking over the propositions made to them. These propositions include one 10 the effect that four prominent southern men have been offered office under Hayes for their energetic support of him; an other that the carpetbaggers State gov crnments are tc have no favors shown them.

THE Miner of December 9, refer ring to the Delegateship and the is suance of the certificate 10 Delegate Stevens, says: "There has ever been in the minds of the people here feel ing that some scheme would be cooked up in Tucson, by which their favorite would have all the advantages that could be given him" o, bosh scheme cooked up in Tucson" I" for sooth. To man of ordinary sense it would seem that all the cooking was being done in Prescott, with the board Of supervisors there for pot-wreStlers. All that any one outside of Prescott did was simply 10 read the law to the Recorder of Yavapai county and cali on him to do hIs duty in accordance herewith The moment the Recorder heard the law, (of which he had hith- erto been unInformed or negligent,) the hell-broth winch had been stewing and steaming ID Prescott and becloud- ing the brains of the cooks with its fumes, was spoiled Why, according to your own confession, one of your prominent lawyers, who hadn't been in Yayapai long enough to become addle- pated, told you the law at the outstart. But there are none so blind as those who will not see.
 And, while We think of it, we should like to call the attention of every fair. man in the Territory to the mean, in sulting and inexcuSable attack made by the Miner on the whole of southern Arizona, in the leading article of its is sue of December 1S II is d puerilet and impOtent islander on this entire section of Arizona, and while Its tone renders it perfectly harmless to any one but its author, il would be well for The people of the whole Territory. ! north and south, to note the evident . disposition of the journal that sends such thing broadcast over the land. !

WHILE the heart of Mexico to its very center,-the City of Mexico,-is convulsed with revolution and anarchy. it is gratifying spectacle to see So nora, our near neighbor, under the wholesome and protecting rule of Mar iscal, thriving and prospering in peace. One can hardly recognize the once turbulent State in its present aspect Every item of news coming from there used to be unpleasant tohear, but any thing coming thence now is welcome, as speaking of commercial enterprise or agricultural prosperity. Mr A. F. Garrison lately informed us that an English firm, Robert R. Symon & Co.,, had taken the hints of Sonora, Culi- can and others by contract and they were again pouring ou, their stream off wealth. In this company is Mr Da- vid Ferguson, formerly well known here. There is manifest willingness on the part of Sonors 10 do its full share towards connecting itself with Tucson by telegraph, and let the peo- pie there once get a hold on prosperity continued peace, and railroad and other enterprises would receive support. We sincerely trust that the fever of revolution now raging in eastern Mexico, may not af feet our neighbor Sonora
 Since the above was put in print, we have been pained to learn from a re- port brought to town the latter part of he week, that the peace of Sonora has been broken by a revolt headed by Pes. lueira, from the vicinity of Hemosi-' To- If true, we can only hope that he same strong hand which gave OurI leIghbOr peace from the anarchy of its asst revolution may nip this new out-I break in the bud before it has had time O infect any large portion of the State

The MOUSE AND THE FRoG.-A mouse
in an evil day made acquaintance with a
frog, and they set off on their travels togeth-
er. The frog, ON pretence of great affection,
and of keeping his companion out of harms
way, tied the mouse's hind foot to his own
hind leg, and thus they proceeded for some
distance by land. Presently they came to
some water, and the frog bidding the meuse
have good courage, began to swim across.
They had scarcely, however, arrived midway
when the frog took sudden plunge to the
bottom, dragging the mouse after him. But
the struggling and foundering of the mouse
made so great 4 commotion in the water that
it attracted the attention of kite, who
pouncing down and bearing off the mouse,
carried away the frog in his train.
Inconsiderate and ill-matched alliances
generally end in ruin, and the man who
compasses the destruction of his neighbor
is often caught in his own snare.

The LION AND THE GoAT.-On q summer
day, when every thing was suffering from
extreme heat, a lion and goat came at the
same time to quench their thirst at small
fountain. They at once fell to quarrelling
which should first drink of the water, till
at lsngth it seemed that each was determin-
ed to resist the other even to death. But
ceasing from the strife for a moment, to re-
cover breath, they saw flock of vultures
hov ering over them, only waiting to pounce
upon whichever fthem should fall. Where
upon they instantly made up their quarrel,
agreeing that it was far better for them
both to become friends. than to furnish food
for crows and vultures.

They are the best of farm scavengers, 'clean-
ing field'' as no other class of animals will.
They give back to the farm more in proper
ton to what they take fiom it than any 9TH
er animal, and distribute it better with a
view to the future fertility of the soil. Prove
this? There is no need of proof to those
who have kept sheep, and know their hab-
Its and the profits they yield. To prove it
to those who have not the experience, it is
necessary they should try the experiment
or accept the testimony of an experienced
shepherd.

EGGS IN WINTER.-The Ohio Farmer
says "corn fed hens do not lay in winter for
the simple reason there isn't any albumen
material in the corn. When wheat is fed,
there is fat enough in it to supply all that is
needed for the yolk, and gluten enough to
make the white, and lime enough to furnish
the shell it does not thus seem difficult to
understand why corn fed hens should not
lay, as they do not, and why wheat fed hens
should lay, as they do" As eggs are now
selling in our market from 25 to 80 cents
per Dozen, it will be of some importance to
chicken fanciers to add a liberal allowance
of wheat to their hens

THE FIsHERMAN.-A Fisherman went to
a river to fish and when he had laid his net
across the stream, he tied a stone to long
co I'd, and beat the water on either side OF
the net, to drive the fish into the meshes.
One of the neighbors that lived thereabout
seeing him thus employed, went up to him
and blamed him exceedingly for disturbing
the water, and making it so muddy as to
be unfit to drink. 81 am sorry,,' said the
Fisherman, "that this does not please you
but it is by thus troubling the waters, that
| gain my living"

The FARMER AND HIS DoGs.-A farmer
during a severe winter, being shut up by the
snow in his farm house, and sharply pressed
for food, which he-was unable to get about
to procure, began consuming his own sheep.
As the hard weather continued, he next ate
up his goats. And at last-for there was no
break in the weather-he betoOk himself to
the plough oxen. Upon this the dogs said
one to another, "let us be off; for since the
master, as we see, has had no pity on the
working oxen, how is it likely he will spare
us2'
When our neighbor's house is on fire it is
time to look to our own.
