are not the sun, even so our love aud pity,
though they are not God, but merely poor,
weak, image and reflection of Him, yet from
Him alone they come If there is mercy in

mercy. If there is the light of love in us,
it is ray from the fulsun of love,-Charies

MR. II. c. HOOKER, the Arizona cat tie king, was Tn Tucson ea rly this week Not content with the fine facilities now at his service on his ranch near Camp Grant, he is about to introduce delicious water from the Graham range of mountains by ditch of eight miles in length Whatever he does, he does thoroughly, and the man who visits Rockers ranch few years hence, will be greatly surprised at what a valuable and attractive property has been built up on an open plain in few years. O. course it takes industry and well di- rected labor with some means to ac comphsh so much, but compared tC other enterprises of no greater value this one has not cost so very much.

Loss of Stock by Cold Weather.

Every third or fourth year, the stock growers of Wyoming, Colorado ant Kansas lose hundreds of thousands O. head of stock by reason of deep snows cold weather, heavy sleets or all these causes together. This Winter, cattle are nearly all perishing on the grea Laramie plains in Wyoming and many sheep also. The cattle stand in snow two or three fee; deep and die witt cold and hunger; some sheep do like wise, and the reports are that horse. paw up the snow and get enough gras: to sustain life. The Las Animas Lead CT says the Winter is very severe as fal south as Southern Colorado. Not ma ny perish for want of feed, but that paper says:
 The principal losses have been by sticking in the snow banks and run nIng into the rIver. Coming down in. tO the valley, they run over the river banks, which are concealed by snow and are unable to CXtricate themselve. from the snow or ice, where they sink through. Many are also killed by the trains. They collect in great numbers on the railroad track, where there is the least snow, and can hardly be driv en of.
 Nothing of the kind can happen in Southern Arizona, where snow never lies to any depth beyond a few hours save on the tops of the mountains The valley and mesa lands are always free of snow and cattle keep very fat every month in the year It is very rare that anything but the fattest of beef is seen in this market A gentle. man recently from California and in terested in sheep south of here, and also has had large experience in Idaho, Nevada and California, says this is the best section for stock he has ever seen, and that security from Indian depreda. tiOns is the only thing needed to make it all that could be desired by stock. growers. And he tells just what every man familiar with the various places referred to, knows to be true.

NEWS items from the Yuma Sentinel of February r:
 The Newborn is supposed to have sailed from San Francisco today. An- tonic Conreras', Brash's and Cayaness' trains get off to-day
 Emigrants of the right stamp are coming in every day. Four teams are camped here, loaded with tools and supplies, including steam pump for irrigating. The owners are looking at the rich bottom lands near here, with view to occupying and improving them.
 Engineer Hood and party came into town again this week. Been knocking around the country to find a better crossing, but it's no use, and they have to fall back on Yuma Their line of stakes from north of the Laguna strikes the Gila again near Antelope. Since then they have been driving stakes all around Judge Porter's house. Looks as if they are laying out round-houses and car-shops there. It's too bad; we had hoped that they would locate their headquarters nearer Main street.
 The Idaho, February ', brought from Mexican ports quite number of pas sengers en route to California via San Diego; among them is Lieut. Col.

National Exhibition Of Minerals
NATIONAL MUSEUM,
 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON. January 2f. 1877


 SMITHSONIAN RESTITUTION,
 WASHINGTON, January 26, 1877, DEAR SIR:-Your letter of the 4th accompanying sundry specimens Of minerals submitted for examlnatiOn, has been received. We regret that we have no mineralogist Tn our employ, in consequence of the reduction of our appropriation by Congress. We will, however, endeayor to have an eXamin- ation made, and report the result to you. You are probably aware of the display made by the Smithsonian at the Centennial, of the mineral wealth of the United States and of the interest centering around the large masses of ores of the precious metals, collected by Mir Donaldson and others.
 We have a reasonable hope that Con gress will erect building in connec- tiOn with the Smithsonian Institution, of suitable size to contain the Phila- delphia exhibit and any addition that may be made to it. In this event we will be very much obliged to you if you will induce the mine owners to present large masses of specimens, so that they may be exhibited here. It is our intention to assign special section to each State for the presentation of its mineral wealth; but of course unless the mate rial is furnished to us, we cannot make this complete There can be no better way of advertising a mine than that of putting sample of suitable size in the collection in question.
 When the project attains a greater prominence, we may have the pleasure of addressing you again on the subject but in the meantime would suggest that any choice and typical specimens from the mining claims be set aside, with the prospect of our being able to offer the privileges referred to
 Yours truly,

A GREAT discovery is reported to have beer made by surgeon of the English army in China to proven: pit ting or marking the face. The mode of treatment is as follows: When in a smallpox the preceding fever is st its night and just before the eruption appears, the chest is thoroughly rub bed with crotOn oil and tartar emetic ointment This causes the whole Ot the eruption to appear on that part of the body to the relief of the rest. It also secures a full and complete eruption, and thus prevents the disease from attacking the internal organs. This is said to be now the established mode of treatment in the English army in China, by general orders, and is regarded AS perfectly effectual.
