Hardy and Yuma.
Here is what the Miner says on

Here is what the Miner says on that gentleman's authority:
 Captain Wm. H. Hardy, who was elected member of Congress from Arizona at the last election, and didn't get his seat, arrived in town yesterday direct from Wash ington and the East. Mir. Hardy, who Is well posted in railroad af- fairs, is confident that it is the intention, soon, of the Southern Pacific Roilroad Company to com. mence another line, from Dos Palmqs or thereabouts, and run directly to the Needles, on the Colorado. where they will cross and thence continue their road along through Arizona on the Both parallel. This has always been MT. Hardy's opinion, and one which he still adheres to. AS he Is Intimately acquainted with the owners ofthe s. P. R. R., and has recently consulted with them, therefore knows what he is talk ing about. It is not mere rumor that he has. heard, but has seen the elephant himself.
 The SENTINEL hopes sincerely, that Capt. Hardy's prediction in this case is better founded than the one he hazarded a couple of months ago about the Southern Pacific crossing twelve or fifteen miles above Yuma, and thus leav- ing our town in the cold. At that time, as now, he based his utter. ances upon conversations had with his intimate acquaint. ances" of the s. P. R. R. The statement was generally circula. ted and did this town a little harm-a very little. At the last election, for some reason, MT. Hardy got good many votes in some parts of Arizona; possibly for a better reason, he only receiv. ed about half a dozen votes in Yu- ma. It looks very much, as if he is trying to pay us off, for voting against him, by spreading rumors of our town being avoided by the R. R. The Miners aIlu- sion, to MT. Hardy's confidential familiarity with the R. R. big bugs, reminds us of the story told of the man, who was boasting of his conversation with the Duke of Wellington. " What did the Duke say to you ?" asked a by stander. He said, "get out of the way, you blackguard." Yuma still lives!!!

Rise in the River.

Quite rise.has occurred in the Colorado during the past week, reminding us that the months of May and June are those, in, which we can look for high water and overflow of the river. To the In- dians and to the stock-men, this inundati0n is as welcome, as that of the Nile is to the Egyptians. On this overflow, white men de- pend for a supply of grass for their animals, and on its subsistence the Indians plant their yearly crops of corn, melons and pumpkins; their crops maturing before the moisture entirely leaves the sat- urated soil. This annual rise of the Colorado maintains. and even increases, the fertility of the soil along its valley. Sand and the heavier mineral particles are hur. ried along the channels and stronger currents: the overfowed lands are covered only, by water backed up, having little motion, and carriyng in suspension only organic and fertilizing matter. The rise is caused chiefly by the melting of ice and snow in the Rocky mountains and otherrarges in Utah, even farther north than the line of the Central Pacific rail- road. That road crossed quite a number of the tributaries of the Colorado. Now that the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph has reach- ed Yuma, by giving us informa- tion of changes in temperature along its in line Utah, it will ena- ble Us to predict with tolerable certainty the state of the river here. Warm, thawing weather up there will, in a given time, be followed by an increased volume of water in the river here, and vice versa. This information will be of value to the R. R. Go. for the proper care of their bridge and of tho portions of their road lying along the river. It will also

CaStOria.

1t is mistake to suppose tina: CastOria is not
adapted to grown persons as well as children They
only need to increase the quantity. But children
have so many complaints for which Csstoria is
adapted-like wiaD collie, sour stomach, worms,
letter, Teething and Group, that it is especially
recommended 10 them.
Its effects are moro certain than CASTOR OIL. 1t
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant to take rs
honey. 1t never gripes. BY regulating the stomach
and bowels tho Castoria coOls the blood, expels
worms and prevent feverishness, quiets the nerves
and produces health-then OF course the children
can sleep in quiet and MOTHERS can REST.
CastOria is recommended by all physicians and
nurses who have tried it, and it is having rapidly
increasing sale. 1t is prepared with great after
