Swiftly falls the rain,
 Bright rain, Gladdening meadow, hiI And plain. Oh, how many blessings rarc Thou art shedding everywhere Benishmg our sorrow, care, And pain How bounteoas thy store, Kind raini Shall We eyeFmore
 Complain While We fold our hands in peace. While sleep bids troubles cease, Then ihJu eoIuest to increase Our gain. Could sing to thee,
 Sweet rain, Iwocld chant thy free
 Refrain, Sweetest song of fareSt bird, Whisp'rjag leaves by breezes stirred, Then would struggle to be heard In vain. wsIl sing to thee
 Dear rain; will echo thy
 Refrain, Tin the very air shall ring With the joyous songs sing, And tae sound shall eyery thing Retain. BERKELEY, JaI. % 1878. LORENZO DAVIS.

The successful pressure whicl the South ern Pacific Railroad brought to bear on fhs Arizona Legislature to pass acts granting extraordinary rights and privileges, te the Company in the Territory, is not, after all, likely to escape the rigid criticism of Con- gress. One of the bills passed in the inter- est Of the Company, was to exempt it's property from taxation for a term of six years. A proposition so outrageous to decency and offensive to sense If com mon justice, ought never to have received moments consideration from any American Legislature. Apart from it's palpablc re- pugnance 10 the essential principles of equity of every civilized Constitution, its passage under tie coercion of railroad lobby was aa act of bold eifrontery we'll calculated to provoke criticism The Ex- press discussed its odious features at the time, and now we find that Senator Mat thews has brought up all the railroad Acts of the Arizona Legislature in the United States Senate, and proposes to set them aside as beyond the power Of q Territorial Legis- latdre to render valid. There is such thing in corporations as we'll as individuals as a smartness (which o'erleaps itself aud falls O the other."-Los Angeles Exp,ess.

Brother Campbell, of the Los Angeles Star, has made the discovery that there are no statesmen in the Republican party. The Democratic party. however, he says, has within it few public men of ability; and what is of more consequence. they are thor oughly honest. Tine Republicans, he says are weak, but just smart enough to keep the Democracy divided so as not to be able to elect President in 1880, or words to that effect.
 The Democratic party has a great mis sion before them, but he fears they don't SEC it, and asks, wilt the few who are able and honest do their dutyl The mission of the Republican party, he thinks, is ended aud tine Republicans are out of the way, but he fears the Democratic leaders will not discovered the fact, and stepin and occu- ply the abandoned ground snch discov- eSics ought to entitlc the inventor to a pa- f,nt.

WozENcRAFT ScHEME.-rhe Commits sioner of the Land Office has written a re- port upon the Wozeneraft bill, providing for the reclamation of the Yuma desert. The Commissioner, in response to inquiries of the House Committed, says that, inas- much as under the existing laws fertile lands are all given away to actual settlers, there seems to be no especial reason why desert lands may not also be so disposed of, particularly where the recipient goes to the expense of rendering them arabic by irri- gation. He finds, however, that this bill is extremely defective in many specified re- spects, such as its failure to define exact boundaries, or to provide what shall be con- sidered sufficient irrigation or to indicate the manner of payment to be made by bcne- ficiaries when their title is perfected

Collingwood that the parties came to his ranch and inquired for the To- cality of certain gold mine from which $30,000 is shipped monthly to Guymas. They wanted Mr. Taylor to go with them to the mine, but Taylor guessed he didn't want to go. Taylor noticed the government mules and saddles, and asked tine parties how they came in possession of that class of riding stock, to which they replied that he "would probably learn through the pa pers how they got those mules" After leaving Taylor's they traded their mules for horses, and arc now, probably. waiting an opportunity to take in one of those $Sp.0O0 gold shipments.

Mrs. Reed was the oldest lady resident of Red Bluff, having settled there with her husband in 1852, and was known to most of the early settlers, miners. prospeetors, merchants, packers, teamsters, etc, who had occasion to pass up or down the Sacramento River. She was noted for her hospitality and kindness to those in sickness or distress. When the town began to grow. her house was the nu- cleus of society, and she its acknowledged leader. Her age was about S4 years, na- tive of Maine, Christian lady, warm friend, a pure, good woman.

Smallpox got among the Indians on the other side of the river. The poor wretches have suffered terribly for want of food and clothing, and presumably sonc deaths have occurred among them. For obvious req sons VIC have not investigated the matter closely. The Indian medicine men must have had rough time of it. Each of them is allowed to have six patients to die under his treatment, but when the seventh dies, the corpsc's friends club the doctor to death. Last week, by permission of chief Pascal, medicine man shot two babies, placing them so that one bullet killed them both. They had small-pox aud were pronounced past the doctors skill when he was called in, Therefore their deaths do not count on his limit of six. Nice pcople.-[ [sentinel.
