Yuma Items.
From The Sentinel of May 12:

From The Sentinel of May 12:
 Cavaness' train left on Monday fol the Silver King with the new mill.
 We have been shown some very hand some opals found near the Colorado river Tn the vicinity of the Picacho.
 No place west of the Rocky Noun tains offers better inducements than Yuma AS field for the use of money in legitimate banking business.
 Prof Spencer F. Balrd writes that some of the slOughs connected with the Colorado river, produce two va rieties of ferns not hitherto known any where else.
 The MOhave Indians are now com mencing to harvest new wheat along the upper river. The parismony of Congress cut of their rstions at the reservation last year and compelled them to again scatter among their old haunts.
 A new mine lies about five miles from the Colorado river, opposite the upper end of the Indian reservation It is called the Centennial" IL occurs in a granite formation and crops out bold ly for oyer 5000 feet. Assays of sam pie lots give an average of sixty-five per cent. lead and thirty oz. silver, which is about the value of the Castle Dome ores.
 The first steamboat up the Colorado river above Yuma, was the General Jessup, a little sIde-wheel boat which left here January ?, 1858, in command of Capt. Geo. A. Johnson. She ran up to a point twenty miles above the pres cnt site of Hardyville. The only one of her crew now left on the river, is Frank Mcbride.
 Col J. II. Barney IS sending freight daily tu the railroad terminus, chiefly hides and Silver King ore, of which immense quantities have gone forward and more constantly en route Tine trains of Meyers & Bowley, Hancock, Noriega and Samaniego arrived on Sunday, all with Silver King ore Cav anesS returned from the railroad the same day with assorted freight
 Col. w. R. DcFrees of Silver Queen in Pinal county, and Col. Chas. Whit low of the Silver Bell mines, have just passed through Yuma to California. They report both mines Openiug up marvelouSly rich. From sixty pounds average ore of the Queen, thirty-one and a half pounds of metal was run by ordinary crucible process; metal assays eighty dollars in gold, four hun dred and fifty in silver and very rich in copper. Col. DeFrees says he in- tends to procure suitable furnaces. Shaft down fifty feet, the ore showing richer and Yeln wider.
 Some years ago Lieut.. II. Dodd plant ed cotton seed on the Colorado river bottom near La Paz, aS a mere expcri- ment. It grew and thrivcd in spite off neglect, weeds and overflow. The plants have tiourishcd through all in clemencies of weather and now stand. trees of from fifteen to twenty feet in height, loaded with dry cotton balls and living proofs of the suitability of this county and climate to the produc- ton of cotton.

WE are informed that the Commls sioner of Indian AgaIrs has directed Agent Stout 10 make an examination Q. the country southward, with a vIew o. ascertaIning if suitable land and water can be found for a new reservation for the Papago Indians, as the present one is inadequate and it would be useless to ask all the Indians to come on It to live. The examination may not amount to anything beyond ascerlaining facts bearing upon the subject, We are also informed that the people now on the reserve at San Xavier, are disposed to leave pcaceably and without legal com pulsion. but if they should leave, the reserve is not nearly large enough for halt the PapagoS.

TIME and again we have been in formed that the honest people of Yav apal, even right in the town of P, colt. were not favorable to the removal of the Capital by the palpalable fraud committed by a few shameless and rascally officers who represented the people of Yavapai county in the mak- ing and not taking of the census of 1876, and the organ of the rOgues has finally acknowledged as much, as wit ness the following from late number
 Our citizens may be somewhat sur prised when we tell them that certain parties here in Prescott, have been trying tO thwart our proceedings in this matter, and cause a delay which would certainly be injurious. We have received, as has a lawyer of Prescott. news to that effect.

Death Of a Prominent and Good
 Citizen.

The report that John T. Smith died at the Bosque ranch-his own home on the 9th instant, proved true, and we are informed that the immediate cause ot his death was heartdisease. He had been in town only few days pre- yious and apparently as healthy as any man.
 Mr Smith came to Arizona as a pri- vate of Co. D, in the Fifth California Infantry and, being discharged, re- mained as many others did and made this county his home. He made one of the best cultivated farms in Arizo- na and raised the best of crops. He was quite systematic and knew at the end of each season just what his va rious crops cost, and what he realized for them. He was a student of what ever he raised or produced on his farm. He kept well read up on horses, cattle, poultry, grain and vegetables. He has also been a mail contractor for years. and at the time of his death, was con tractor for the routes from Tucson to Monument and from Monument to Crittcnden. In 1873, he was member of the Territorial legislature, although he did not seek or care for the DOSI- ton. In his various relations in hfe, his industry and integrity were never questioned to our knowledge, and We have known him for over seven years. In hIs death, Pima county loses a val uable citizen.
 The remains were buried on the 10th on the farm.

Capital tO PrescOtG.

By bill finally passed Tn the House yesterday, the Capital of Arizona Is tO be removed 10 Prescott on or before September l, 1875. Heretofore we have expressed our opinion on this subject. During the pendency of the measure, we knew newspaper argu- ments, however apt and true, would avail nothing, and hence made none. As heretofore, we do now, outside oi all local considerations, regard the re- mOyal as untImeIy and unWiSe. Noth- ing Is settled pcrmanently-we believe not even the CapIal-but much unset tied by it. We have good reasons for the statement that about twO-thirdS 0, the population of Arizona prefer thaI the Capital should remain in Tucson, for the present at least. But the major Ity of mankind arc selfish enough c. help themselves all they can by law, and work much harder for measures of Sclf-lnterest than IOr those for the gen eral good. We, therefore, are not dlS- posed to cenSure those who were in. strumental in elfecting this removal. We simply tell them this: That Pima county Is very rich in resources of many staple kinds and especially in the precious metals; that she has al- most half the population Of ArizOna today and that 1t is increasing and will continue to; hat she and her peO- pie will prosper right along, and will hereafter have more power than here tofore Tn legislation; and that while acknowledging regret at the present loss, she will be up and dOIng and Oe heard from again and again. Her rep resentativeS are now freed from occu- pying position bordering at times on humiliation, and lucky will Yavapai be, if she does not have to s,ep right into Pima's recent position in this re- gard.

Papa's Letter.
l was sitting in my study,

l was sitting in my study,
 Writing letters, when heard, Please, dear mamma, Mary told me
 Mamma mustn't be 'isturbed. But I'Se tired Of the kitty,
 Want some ozzer fing to do, Witing letters, Is 'ou, mamma?
 Taut I wlto a letter, too? " Not now, darling, mammals busy;
 Run and play with kitty now" " No, no, mamma, me wite letter
 Tan if 'ou will show me how" would paint my darling's portrait
 As his sweet eyes searched my face Hair of gold and eyes O. azure,
 Form Of childish, widening grace. But the eager face was clouded,
 As I slowly shook my head, Till said, " I'll make a letter
 or you, darling boy, instead" So parted back the tresses
 From his forehead nigh and white, And a stamp in sport pasted
 Mid its waves of golden light, Then l said, Now. little letter.
 Go away. and bear good news" And smiled as down the staircase
 Clattered load the little shoes. Leaving me, the darling hurried
 Down to Mary in his gIee, " Mammals wiling lots Of letters;
 Pse letter, Mary -see!' No one heard the little prattle,
 As once more he climbed the stair, Reach his little cap and tippet.
 Standing on the entry stair. No one heard the front door open, No one saw the golden hair, As il doa,ed OCT his shoulders
 In the crisp October air. Down the street the baby hastened Till he reached the office door. So I'se aletter, Mir Postman;
 Is there room for any more? ''Cause dis letters gOin' to papa;
 Papa lives with God, lou know, Mamma sent me for letter,
 Does 'ou fink 'at l tan go?" But the clerk in wonder answered, " Not to-day, my little man." So Den I'll find anozzer office,
 Cause l must go if tan" Fain the clerk would have detained bin But the pleading face was gone, And the little feet were hastening- By the busy crowd swept oG. Suddenly Inc crowd was parted,
 People fled 10 left Ed right, As pair Of maddened horses
 At the moment dashed in sight. No one saw the baby figure
 No one saw the golden hair, Till voice of frightened sweetness Rang out on the autumn air. Twas loo lGto-a moment only S.oOu tue Dcdultous Nlslpu LueIts Then the little face lay lifeless, Covered o'er with golden hRir. they raised my darling, Brushed away the curls Of gold, Saw the stamp upon the forehead Growing now so icy cold. Not a mark the face disdgured,
 Showing where a hOof had trod; But the litiie life was ended
 "Papa's letter" was with God.

The Capital Removal.

The liar who recently represented the Prescott Enterprise in Tucson, or may we hope, misrepresenied it, says we oppose the capital removal because we will lose the public printing. The legislature appropriates $50 per an mum for printing, and most of the sum goes for advertisements which appear in all the papers and our bills have always been from D to 200 per cent, lower than the others. So at most this insignificant item amounts tO nothing. The vicious liar or liars of the Miner, replying to our assertion that in lS15, wben Il capital bill passed by lcgis- lature not based on fraud, the people here had no purpose to oppose the re moyal, figures up and publishes a lot of lying statements to show us lnsin cere and untruthful. Now let can did public read the following article from THE CITIZEN of February 6, lS15. We assert that il expressed the views and feelings of the body of the people of Pima county at that time:

How Children are Fed in Africa.

The women in west Africa are very fond
of their children. Childlessness is dis
graceful to women. Detormed are often
put to death or sold into slavery. Their
regard for their children's comfort ex-
presses itself in special ways The child
is fed till it will eat no more, then it is
stuffed by peculiar manipulation by
which the food is forced down its throat.
Then it is rolled over and over, and bv a
snap of the thumb and four fingers its
stomach is sounded, when. if it does not
appear satisfactorily full in the mothers
estimation, the process Of stufing, and
swapping, and sounding is repeated, I'M
til there is little room left for doubt that
there.i is no vacuum there at least for nature
to abhor, though none be able to say how
much the little creatures abhor this pro-
cess and repletion. After being well-fed

The Earl OF Dudley.

The Earl of Dudley is British noble
man who, if he were not British noble
man, would be extremely apt to be adj
judged lunatic. His eccentricities are
as incompatible as his income and Lon
don society never has the least idea what
he will DO next. Some years ago he
amused himself by sending out invita-
tons to ball at his mansion in three col
ors, pink, white, and crimson As the
guests arrived they were shown into diff
ferent parts Of the building, and the re-
suit was that before the evening was far
advanced his lordship was discovered to
have sent white cards to all the women Of
the world about whom scandal had never
whispered a word, pink cards to all those
about whom scandal had succeeded in
raising doubts, and crimson cards to all
those about whom scandal had left no.
body room to entertain any doubts at all.
1t may be imagined how popular the
Earl was made by the ingenious proceed
ing. His latest freak was performed the
other day. He determinedto give ball,
and issued invitations on vast gilt cards.
A few days before the festivity a lady
who had been honored with one Of these
cards received letter from him inform
ing her that he had seen her, somewhere,
in dark apparel, and that she must either
lay aside her mourning or deny herself
the pleasure of attending his ball. The
lady in question enthusiastically accepted
the latter alternative. On the morning of
the ball another lady, who had been the
recipient Of one OF the gilt cards, received
letter to the same effect, written, not by
the Earl himself, but by his private sec
retary.-Erchange.
