Catch-ee-pa-un!

In the aboriginal language of the coun- try the above title signifies Git" Last Monday Pascual, chief of the Yumas, hay ing heard that the Los Angeles papers re- ported great deal of small pox here, come over to see about it and, shouting "Catch-ee- pa um," to drive all his Indians over on to the California side of the Coo- rado river. At the Court house he inter- viewed the sheriff and arranged for the uss of the jail, in which his Indian police m .n might coIfine overnight any of his refractory subjects, who should remain ir town against his orders. By night not an Indian was to be seen; but they have found out that the Los A, geles papers were only trying to hoax them, like the New York Herald when it turned loose all the ami mals of Central Park, and now they are coming in again.

SMALL PoX scared us unnecessarily. No new cases, the old ones cured, two of them gone home to PheliX, and only five (5) oc- cured altogether, of which two were chil- dreA that were only sick eight days. Their friends say it was only chicken pox. Sill we would advise caution and vigilance. Scarlet fever, measles, chicken poX or whatever it is, i. is more unpleasant to cure than to avoid.

In Hinton's new book on Arizona is pub- lished copy of d map made in 1898 and added to in 1102 b. Father KinO. Near the present Pot Holes, a few miles north Of Yuma, the map gives d little picture of a church called St Dionysius From here the trail led to Port Libertad, in Sonora. The Gila is called Blaufluss, ,signifying Blue river; although above the Casa Grunde it is called Hila A mission, called St. Philip, is laid dowr near the mouth of Salt river and another a5 Casa Grande, near where Florence is. The Yuma Indians occupied the same country as now. Saints names, now forgotten, are sprinkled all over the map.
 In the same book is another map, made ill 1775, by Rev Pedro Font (not Peter Fonk) Here the YumaS, Cucapas, Hual- pals and other Indians have country al lotted to them. The word Yabipay covers the present site of Prescott. The Mohayes are called Jamajas (j pronounced like h. Across he'Ehrenbcrg country are located a now forgotten tribe of Indians, called Jaechedunes; in the older map these are called Alchedomas. Names are given in Spanish, Latin and German; but many of them are those still i'll use. These maps alone arc worth the price of the book to Arizonans. The picture of Yuma is not good, but the author is trying to get better one for a second edition of the book

NHE MOST STRIKING ADVANTAGES \ witch it offers above all other recent inventions of this nature may be briefly summed up as follows:
 1st. ITS GREATNESS cost of its erection tor royalty and freight} not eYceed- ing $500 for a capacity to roast and chlo- ridiZc twenty tons per day, viz: brick work, 5000, and iron work, including blower, $500. 2d. Short time required for erection, viz: Ii days after providing all material, with a sutiicicncy of labor.
 3d. No expensive, heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy leight to the district where 1t may be required. Brick and clay, generally ob- tainable on the spot, being the chief mate rial required in its construction.
 4th No skilled tabor or technical eXpe- riencc is necessary to work it, two ordinary laborefs being sufficient to attend to it when in full operation.
 5th. It does not easily get out of order, and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.
 9th. The royalty, or license to use it, is exceedingly moderate, removing thereby all temptation to evade or infringe the patent.
 7th Calculating labor at $3 per day, and wood at S6 per cord, the cost of roasting is but little over $l.50 per ton (eX-salt, when cAloridized,l at these high California rates for labor aud fuel.

work IL zap fine by occasionally pitching
1t over. This pays well, still do not
consider 1t the best method which can be
pursued.
In order 10 obtain the best results from
composing it is necessary that the foreign
material and the manure should be In
timately mingled. 1t is also important
to save the liquid manure and to keep
the whole mass from injury by exposure
to the weather. Therefore I deem it
necessary that the composing should be
done gradually, that an absorbent should
be employed, and that the manure should
be stored under cover until wanted for
use. The barn cellar, now so. common,
affords splendid place for composing
manure with the help Of hogs, and Is also
a fine place for storage. 1t is, however,
open to objection on the ground that the
air which the cattle are Obliged to breathe
is contaminated and that it is very un-
healthy for hogs i am in favor of
having a wide shed in connection with
the stables in which compost material
and manure can be stored. Instead
OF throwing the manure out Of doors, as
wv many iainCiS w, W ilC uuuCi tuC
caves and he soaked and leached by all
the rains which fall upon the roof as well
as the heap, it should be thrown directly
into this shed, which should be built
against the stable, thus forming a large
room behind the cows, but separated
from it by being boarded in the usual
manner. This shed should run the
whole length of the stables, but may be
open at each end 30 team can pass
through, and there should be doorways
for cattle to pass in and out. For ma
terial i like dry muck the best Of any
thing. II is a good absorbent and by its
use much of the liquid manure can be
saved. II Is also in itself considered of
value for application to uplands. When
muck can not be obtained / would
use dry loan or sand. In connec-
tion with either of these materials
straw and course hay may be freely
employed. The muck or other dirt should
be obtained in the summer, il possible,
and should bequite dry when drawn to
the shed. 1t may be thrown in large
heaps where it will be convenient to throw
into the stables and still not be too much
in the way of the manure. This dirt
.hould be used for bedding the cows and
horses every day. In this manner the
foreign material will be evenly dis
tributed through the whole mass, much
of the liquid manure will be saved, and
the whole mass will be kept uninjured by
the weather. Like all other plans which
promise improvement over existing
methods, this will involve some expense,
make some trouble, and take some time,
but it seems to me that the advantages
which it offers are sufficient to hiake It a
great object for the farmer to give it a
trial. The better the manure, and the
more of it, the better will be the crops
and the larger will be the percentage Of
profit which they will pay on the cost Of
cultivation.-Practical Farmer.

An Old.TIme Dance In Colorado.

The first settlers Of Boulder came hero
in 1858. In 1859 quite number came,
and some sixty Lighthouses were erected
before 1860 stepped in. OF these log.
houses but q few remain. Christmas,
1859, saw a jovial crowd Of dancers in one
Of these houses, windowless, we believe,
at that time. The hardy pioneers when
after fun had It. On the night in ques.
tiou about two hundred sons Of toll and
seekers of gold and their fortunes and
seventeen ladies had assembled at the
above named place to partake of frontier
terpsichorean. Marinus G.. Smith was
then one Of the beaux of the town, and
his drees suit consisted Of pair of pants
made out of seamless sacks and colored
blue by the aid Of logwood. A lady now
living in town had an elegant dress made
out Of -four sacks, also colored by the aid
OF lcgwood. There were few white shirts
in the neighborhood then, most of the
pioneers wearing woolen or flannel ones.
A man with white shirt on was in style
and could dance with his coat of =. man
without any would wear coat buttoned
up to the neck. Coats for dancing pur-
cecb uiu not beem 10 Do any 700 uuiuer-
Gus, consequently the pioneers helped
each other out. For instance ALI.
Nicholas had six white shirts, which were
all at the ball, and the coats of those
white-shirted fellows went to cover the
backs of some one else. When one fellow
had dance he would loan his coat 10
another, and then his turn would come,
and no the white shirts and long coats
were dancing all night, and went around
among the two hundred men. There
were no wall flowers among the sevesteen
ladies. But they say the supper for the
occasion was grand affair. Wash boilers
full of coffee, great hunks Of black-tailed
deer, jack rabbits, fish, game and deIica.
cies brought from the states in cans, all
went to make upa glorious supper-one
that the partakers would like 10 zee re.
peated. There may not have been much
style, but the seamless sacks and -four
bags saw as much pure enjoyment as does
the finest and gaudiest attire of today

COlored vs.. Bald.Hended,

Years ago the then well.known firm of
w. Il Co., Boston, agents for a popular
line of Australian packet ships, received
letter of inquiry from Cincinnati.
Correspondence followed, and second,
cabin passages were engaged for Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Hatfield, their son Joseph,
Jr., and Miss Blanche, who were politely
urged to put In an appearance in Boston
on or before May 5th, as " the good ship
Daniel Sharp, whereof Joseph d. Cush.
ing is master for the present voyage"
would sail on the day follow ing, weather
permitting.
On the morning designated a young
darkey exquisite, sporting tall hat and
|ivory-headed cane, sauntered into the
elegantly appointed Office and demanded !:
Is dis yer de Office of w. & Co. ?"
Yes, 1t H." growled the senior w.
from behind his desk, frowning over his
gold-bowed spectacles at the intruder.
"Well, sab, me and my folks are ewine
out to Melbourne in your ship Daniel
Sharp, and ~
mot II know it-you are not going
to do any such thing"
How 90, sab? Didn't I correspond
wid you from Cincinnati, and engage
passage, for my fadder and mudder and
Mis- Blanche ?"
"Whatl is your name Hatfield q"
roared tho dismayed agent.
"Yes, sab, my names Hatfield. and"-
"Why In the devil didn't you notify
me that you were colored?"
"Why In the debbil didn't you notify
me dat you were bald-headed I"
The pertinent rejoinder silenced old
W., and although two or three passenges
who preferred to have the color line
dawn out ide Of ships second cabin
gave up their berths and were refunded
their passage money, the Hatfields COM
placently sailed 10 the Sharp.
