How WOULD THEY Do FO

How WOULD THEY DO FOR INDIAN AGENTS ?-To an inter- viewer Brigham Young gave his views on the Governments expe- ditlOn against the MOrmons in 1859. He said: "They marched over the alkali plains, through Colorado, spent about S6O,O0O, 900, got so far as Echo Canyon and stopped. We supplied them with provisions. We had to or they would have starved. But good Lord. how that army stole from the Government. Why we sold flour to Ben Holiday for $1O a bar rel and he turned around and sold It to Johnston for $29,50, and when the war was over we bought It back for S2. We bought Sibley tents for $1 apiece, and wagons enough to last for years at half cost in New England"

Tyson Wells.

The name "Tyson's Wells" in an Arizona paper, reminds us of the gentleman after whom the spot was called. He was one of those impulsive, hopeful men, who believed, year after year, that Arizona was coming ou, strong next Spring." He was continually starting up some en- terprise with millions in it; but he never succeeded in getting lem out oft; We remember when he thought he had struck valua. ble coal beds near Yuma. A couple of scalawags dug hole and
 planted a few sacks of coal. Soon afterWard they found it and sold out to Tyson. who got on his horse and started across the desert to organize company in this city to work the "mine." A day after. ward some of his friends discoy. cred the hoax, and to save him from ridicule, sent a special courier after him. By hard riding. the messenger overlook his man at Los Angeles. Tyson jcgged back with him, somewhat dis. gusted. but still quite confident of striking it rich "before next Spring" Of such men was Ari. zona full in early days. Some Of them are there yet. Ii does look now as if they might begin to get rich "next Spring."-ANa.

neat at Yuma.

The Santa Bsrbara Press says: "Last Sunday week the ther. mometer stood-at 12S at Sunset at Yuma"
 During eight summers passed in Arizona, we have never seen the thermometer in the hottest part of the day mark higher than 114. and then it was rso excep. tionally hot as to excite much comment among old residents. We have heard of 122 in the shade, but that was always at some military post; no citizen ever vouched for it. Right in Santa Barbara County-the thew ltaly"-we have experienced 12O degrees of heat in the shade. This was at Guyana and San Emidio. For many years Arizona was an unknown land. People heard of it chiefly through the reports of army officers, who had been stationed out here, and who, to excite sympathy, and to with. draw attention from their own worthlessness here. magnified their sufferings and hardships. A West Pointer would come out here and loaf all day in a cane bottom chair with the thermom. eter at about S5, and then write homeabout his sufferings from a heat of not less than 135-unless he was extra ruthless, when he would put it higher His mother would read. weep and make the old man remit. The village newspaper would quote him, and thus the falsehood has spread. Excursionists have been coming out here on sleeping cars staying here part of a day, with a straw never out of their mouths (iced drinks) and then going back, rep resenfing themselves as having endured more hardships and suf- ferings than Mungo Park. Talk about heat at Yuma! It has been hotter this very summer at Los Angeles than it has here; and it IS hotter every year all over the Sacramento and Tulare valleys Of California. It is as hot in Washington, and the thermom. eter proves it. One feature of the heat here is worth noting-it IS dry. Rapid evaporation of moisture from the surface of any body cools it. To keep the tenn. perature of the body from rising above 9s. nature supplies it's sur. face with precipitation. Here the air is dry, evaporates moisture rapidly, aud keeps the body cool, even during high degree of heat. In Eastern cities the air is already charged with moisture: evaporation from the body's sur. face is slow, its temperature rises. and sunstroke occurs; clothing gets clammy. sticks to the body. and makes a heat of 100 almost uncomfortable. No man has ever been made sick here by heat, ahd, compared with heat even ten degrees lower in New York or washington. no one has been made uncomfortable by it. Con- pairing work in the sun here with labor in the cornfields of the Western States, and comparing tne baimy nights of refreshing sleep here and the inevitable blanket towards morning, with the sultry, feverish, sleepless beds oi Washington or New York summers, we cannot even outline the lmpudent mendacity which has saturated public opinicn with the idea that the climate of Yuma is a disagreeabIe one. The edi. torial Pegasus tor as our local Charles O'Conor might pronounce it-Pe jaysus) has not taken the bit in his teeth. The recorded facts bear out our statements.

.4DVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Never write with pen and ink. II is alto
gether too plain, and do>en't hold the mind OF
the editor and printers enough to their work
If vou are compelled to use ink, never use
that vulgarlty known as the blOttng pad. If
you drop a blot of ink on the paper, lick it of.
The intelligent cempositor loves nothing so
dearly rs TO read through the smear this will
make across twenty or thirty words. We
have seen him hang over such Il piece Of
copy half an hour, swearing like pirate all
the time, he felt that good.
Don't punctuate. We prefer 10 punctuate
all manuscript sent to us. And don't use
capitals. Then we can punctuaie and capi-
talize to snit ourseIf, and your article, when
you see it in print, will astonsh, even if it
does not please you.
Don't try to write too plainly. II is sign
Of plebian origin and publc-school breeding.
Poor writing is an indication of genius. Its
about the only indication Of genius that
great many men possess. Scraw yonr article
with your eyes shut and make every word As
ilegible as you can. We get the same price
for it from the rag-man as though it were
covered with copperplate sentences.
Avoid all pans,akng with proper names.
We know the full name of every man, wo-
man. and child in the United States, and the
merest hint at the name is sufficient. For
instance, if you write a character something
like a drunken figure "S," and then draw Il
wavy line, and the letter VI and another
waving line, we will know at once that you
mean samuel Morrison" even though you
may think you mean "Lemuel Messenger"
|, is a great mistake that proper names should
be written plainly.
Always write on both sides Of the paper,
and when you have filled both sides OF every
page, trail line up and down every margin,
and back TO the top of the first page, closing
your article by writing the signature just above
the date. How we do love TO get hold of
articles written in this style. And how we
would like to get hold of the man who sends
them. Jus, for ten minutes. Alone. In the

Revenge is sweet. Yum, yum. yum!
Coarse brown wrapping g-paper is the best
for writing your articles on. If you can tear
down an old circus poster and write on the
pasty side Of il with pen-stick, it will do
still better.
When your article is completed, crunch
your paper in your pocket, and carry it two or
three days before sending it in. This rubs oil
the superfluous pencil marks, and makes it
lighter.
If you can think of it, lose one page ont of
the middle Of your article. We can easily
supply what is missing, and we love TO do ii.

THE FIN7NCL1L POLICY OF THE
ADMINISTRATIONS.

An article appeared in Washington on
Saturday, which is said by the Chicaso
Tribune 10 be semi official and TO reflect the
financial policy Of Mr. Hayes. The Tribune
s GOOD authority on that subject, as ltS edl'or
was recently in Washington. consulting with
Nessrs. HAYES and Matthew'S in regard TO
the silver movement, and has been made
intimately acquainted with the views OF the
Administration. We copy from that paper
svnop,is of the article referred to:
..It represents that, whatever course Nr.
HAYES may pursue regarding the silver
question the business interests OF the nation
will be protected that, III the present de,
pressed condition of finances, IT Is deemed
wisdom, by postponins the speedy payment
of the public debt, to reduce taxation; that
the resources of the country should be de-
veloped by extensive public Improvements );
that the public securities should be popularized
by low rates. and that long>tcrm bonds should
be encouraged that the silver dollar should
be remonetized and the greenback redeemabe
herewith, and that all bonds issued before or
since 1873 should be payable in gold coin.'
The statement that ''ihe business interests
of the ration will be protected means that
the bondhoders, the national bankers, the
SOlU DUIliOnl>lS anu lllc Tsd>ltIl CdlltdIlsts
have nothing to fear from any plan for the
reconciliation of silver hatmay be advocated
by the Administration for party purposes in
Ohio The statement that "the public
securities should be popularized 10y low rates"
is so meaningless as TO be absurd. W hen the
people of young and growing country, such
as the United States, can find so little rrofita-
bic use for their money that they are willing
to invest it in "public securities at low rates
our condition of financial prostration is truly
deplorable, and the word "popularized' Is
strangely out of place when used in connec
tion with such securities. The sense of the
article fmther is that the silver dollar shall be
remonctized, but only to the extent of redeem
ing the greenback. That is to say, It's coinage
will be resumed, but its legal tender quality
will be limited TO that which is now pos
sessed by the greenback; it may be used to
pay private debts, but gold alone shall be
sacred to the public creditor. This evident
construction is rendered absolute by the
further statement that "al bonds issued before
or since 1873 should be payable in gold"
The financial policy Of the Administration
will be seen to be exactly as We have stated
it. 1t means that there shall be one kind Of
money for the private creditor and another
for the public creditor one kind for the people
and another for the bondholder that the
peoples money shall be silver and national
bank notes, AID the bondholder's money shall
be gold and nothing but gold. 1t is both
strange and startling that the Chicago Tribune,
which has hitherto advocated the silver dollar,
can print this exposition Of the financial policy
of the Administration without word of
dissent or even comment.-St. Louis Times.

THE CHIMES CASE.

Mrs. Gaines, we presume, has had entered
up a great many judgments pro con fesso
against the occupants of properties TO which
she has been adjudicated to have title Mean
time the lady has been kept busily employed
before the Masters in Chancery in pressing up
her claim to back interest, rents and profits,
while the defendants have been equally busy
and active in producing evidences of the
value of their improvements. The Masters
do no, appear to have mastered the business
committed to them, and their reports will not
be handed in before the next term of court.
In the meantime the interchangeable plaintiff
relieves and diverts the tedium and dullness
OF this vexatious and wearying work by the
perusal of the innumerable letters sent her
from the North soliciting subscriptions to
various churches, charitable institutions, i'm
poverished, but always smypaibzing and
admring friends; reverend widowers, poor
but deserving artists soliciting the privilege of
painting her portrait; literary bummers who
are ambitious of serving up her remarkable
eventiul life in sensational sketch for the
New York Ledger or Boys and Girls Own.
Then there are letters of tender inquiry as TO
the branch of the very numerous Clark family,
and suggestions Of consanguinty of the afiec.
,onate subscriber whose great grandmother
was of the Cark's of Ireland, and had very
extensive connection. And SO on, afiording

voking frequent explosions of langhter.-N,

MOTHER VERSUS WIFE AND
MOTHER.IN-LAW.

A novel scene occurred as the western
train was leaving the Montreal depot last
evening. Ii, appears that marriage took
place four years ago between a young man
from western city and a handsome young
lady residing here. The couple resided
peaceably here for some time with the young
lady's mother. until the mother of the young
man arrived in town and persuaded him TO
20 home again. The wife and morher-in-law
hearing of his contemplated departure hasten
ed to the Bohaventure depot just a few minutes
before tho departure of the train. A scene
then occurred The young man was held
firmly by his mother, ami Notwithstanding all
the efforts of his wife he was unable To move.
The conductor put an end to the scandal by
entering the car and ordering those without
tickets to leave the train. The young wife
was carried from the car fainring, and the
train proceeded with her uniaithiul husband
and his triumphant mo,her.--Hamiiton

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
FOR lSSO2

discreet silence was observed by the
Democrats who attended the Manhattan Club
Tilden and Hendricks reception IN regard 10
the Presidential candidacy IN 1850. How
could they give expression TO preference ON
that occasion with Mr. Tllden and Hendricks
both honOred guests and both candidates!
But. though nothing was done directly, Mr..
TIden, who Is almost as able Il diplomatist as
Taleyrand, succeeded in planting himself
and Mr.. Hendricks on a platform upon which
no other candidate will be half as safe as Mr..
Tilden. If the Democratic party is going
into the contest of 1850 solely and sinsly TO
cancel and condemn the fraud Of 1876, il can
have no candidate so suitable or so strong as
the prime sufferer by that fraud. Mr.. Tilden
has made great advance in laying down his
platform. with the assistance of Mr.. Hendricks,
and with the backing of New York. 1t is Il
strong platform, for it appeals TO the desire
for fair play which is As natural as conscience
in the breasts of all men. Ii also strikes at
the weakest point in the harness of the Hayes
Administration. The failure of the Republi-
can party and its candidate to refuse the
executive office when the title to il was known
to be fraudulent must remain a permanent
disability to both 1t cannot be atoned for by
subsequent good conduct 1t cannot be over
looked by the nation without establishing a
dangerous precedent. But 1850 is three years
hence; and three years of our swiit-running
history must develop new issues and bring
forward new men.-Phiiadelphia Record.
The principles upon which Tilden and
Hendricks were elected were all right, but
their condemnation of the fraud that placed
Hayes in the presidential chair was altogether
too weak and came too late to commend them
to the Democratic party as its leaders in the
next campaign. The people want a candidate
for President in the next campaign who has
backbone enongh to stand squarely up for
his rights and refuse to be kept out of his office
by fraud.

n CHILD ASLEEP IN II TALL TREE
TOP.

A very remarkable escape occurred yester-
day to little nephew OF Edward F.. Powers,
hoo, and shoe dealer. The child, who is five
years old, was missing about II O'Clock, when
looked for at dinner time, but, after calling
him, the family ate dinner, and, the child not
appearing, became alarmed and instituted a
search through the neighborhoOd. His hat
was found in the yard under some large maple
trees. Nothing could be heard of him until
about three o'clock, when a girl discovered
him up on one of the limbs of the maple tree,
forty feet from the ground asleep. The girl
called him, but he did not awake, and the
situation being discovered, his amt prevented
any noise being made until two boys climbed
the tree and awoke him, and he was got down
safely Ii cannot be ascertained how long the
child had been there, but continuous search
was made from o'clock TO p.m.-Detrou
