FREIGHT. FOR GLOBE CITY.

All freight that is taken into the Globe mines by way of Florence has to go a roundabout of 12O miles, while much or nearly all of the ma chinery has to be hauled around by Tucson and San Carlos, a distance of over 200 miles, thus making a distance from Yuma of 437 miles. Freighters with machinery and mer- chandise for tlre Globe, Pi6heer, Me Milan and other rich districts in the eastern part of Maricopa county can save 13O miles in bringing their freight from Yuma to Globe City and vicinity by crossing the Gila river at Stanwix and coming lay way of Cottonwood station, Phenix, Camp Mcdowell, Camp Reno and Wheatfelds, than by the present route via Florence. For the infor- nation of feighters we give the following table of distances: From Yuma to Phenix, crossing the river at S;anwix, 1SO miles; Phenix to Mcdowell, 30; to Sugar Loaf, g.; to Sycamore, '; t1 1Round Valley, 6 to SunAowcr, : to Camp Reno, 10; to Salt River Crossing, 2S; to Wheatfelds. l6; to Globe City, II, making d di tance of I27 miles from Phenix and 3O7 miles from Yuma The grades on this route are light and there is plenty of water at convenient distances. MT. B. R. Riddle and son arrived in Phenix yesterday from Globe City, having made the trip in six days, and are loud in their praises of the excel lent condition of the road, and they are confident that as soon as freight CTS and others for the Silver King mines learn of the light grades they will use the road via Camps Me Dowell and Reno entirely:

POPULAR EDUCATION.
BY 4. D. LEMON.

THE PRESS AS AN EDUCATOR.
 In our country we owe more to the press than we are willing to ad- nit; it is one of the factors of our advanced civilization it is one of the great civilizers of the age the press speaks for the people, and the people literally think through the press. The influence for good of the public schools and press of our country are reciprocal; the bond of union is vital. the one cannot exist in health and vigor without the aid of the other; they go hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder in the great work of revOlutionizing and refining society, and in purifying, quicken ing, strengthening and elevating in dividual character.
 CO-oPERATIoS or PARENTS WITH
 TEACHERS.
 The success of the teacher de pends in q great measure upon the cooperation of parents; there must be this union of effort if we would secure high standard of intellec- tual culture or that character of dis cipline so essential to good moral and mental development.
 That system of education is best which develops the physical organ ization, the moral powers, and the intellectual faculties of the child and of man to a complete and con- sistent whole" Therefore that plan of education should be adopted m our school, seminaries and uni versailles, combining theory and practice, thinking and doing, for in childhood there should be implant- ed the principles of bold. independ ent man and womanhOod vigorou: bodies with minds which love the truth and dare maintain the right to obtain these great objects there should be, indeed there must be, the most hearty cooperation between parents and teachers; with this mu. tual help we may realize the idea oi Addison, when he declared that Education is to the human sou what sculpture is to the block ot marble" Plato said, In the world there is nothing great but man, il man there is nothing great but 1nind.' As mental development proceeds according to direct laws, il is the duty of the wise teacher tC study and apply those laws, in hi; great life-work of instructing tht young, ever pursuing that natura' order of development which is SC beautifully illustrated ip. the grand work of nature.

ON TO PHENIX.
Efforts Being Made to Extend the
 Southern Pacific Railroad.

The following petitions were for warded to Washington last week from this place, signed by many of our citizens
 To the Congress of the United States The undersigned, your peti- tioners, would most respectfully rep resent that we are residents and cit 'izens of the Territory of Arizona; ; that as an agricultural and grazing country it is not excelled; that its mines are superior to those of Cali fornia CT Nevada in their palmisst day, but for want of the means of transportation through the territory these resources are of but little use. The Southern Pacific Railroad hay ing been completed to Yuma on the west side of the Colorado River, helps us very much, and demon strates what we could be if it was extended through the Territory. Such facilities for opening mines and obtaining machinery and mark eting our agricultural products would quadruple the population of Arizona in single year, and in two years would render the Territory second to no State or Territory in the pro- duction of the precious metals. We therefore most earnestly petition your honorable body to pass such laws as may permit the Southern Pacific Railroad to extend its road until it shall meet a constructed road from the East, or at least through this Territory. and your petitioners will ever pray.
 Hon. Geo. w. McCreary. Sccre- tary of War, Washington, D. c. Sir: Our attention has been arrest ed by a rumor of intended action on the part of the Government, the motive for which we do not under stand; we. the undersigned citizens of the Territory of Arizona, and of the town of Phoenix, herein respect fully suggest to you that it is a ter ritory rich in many kinds of wealth, prominent among which stand its mining interests. We have mines of gold, silver, copper and lead which are now being rapidly devel oped. Prior to the construction ot the Southern Pacific Railroad tc Fort Yuma, and of the railroad bridge across the Gila river, oul prosperity was greatly retarded by the presence of hostile Indians Apaches-and by the necessity ot transporting goods coming into tho Territory d long distance upon waa ons, but since the advent of the rail road upon our borders the common wealth has experienced prosperity hitherto unknown to 1t since its ac quisition by the United States. | is being developed in all direction. and fast gaining in population. bu it is now asserted that the United States contemplate a suspension O the operation of the Southern Pac;f, Railroad over the bridge, and ever removal of the bridge itself.
 We respectfully represent to yOl that such action would affect tn, future of Arizona in a most drplor able manner, destroying the devel opment of the Territory and practi cally running the business of ou town, and we beg to petition that i may not be put into effect.

ARIzONA's MAIL'2
Opinion of a Reliable paper on
 their Reconstruction.

Reconstruction of mail routes ful- nishes. the Salt River HERALD with, a theme for much sensible comment. It repeats our suggestion of last year that all Arizona mail routes should radiate from the railroad terminus at Yuma. From here to Prescott are several excellent wagon routes that require little or no ex- penditure to make them excellent roads, which are shorter than the present road from Dos Palmas, snd which would avoid all the heavy sand of the California descrt.-[ Yu- ma Sentinel.

SOUTHERN HOME AND FARM.
We Drive Horses 20 Excess.

BY driving to excess we mean that
horses are pulled and hauled, jerked and
twitched too much with the reins.
There is too much guiding with the
lines. Concerning this subject the
Prairie Farmer says lin truth) that the
most vicious and i~nexcusable style OF
driving is the manner which 10 many
drivers adopt, to wit, of wrapping the
lines around their hands and pulling the
horse back with all their might and
main, 40 that the horse, in point of fact,
feels the weight back of him with his
mouth, and not with his breast and
shoulders. This they do under the i'm,
preston that such a dead pull is needed
in order to " steady the horse
"The fact is, with rare exceptions,
there should never be any pull upon the
horse at all, A steady pressure is allow"
able, probably advisable, but anything
beyond this has no justification in nature
or reason For nature suggests the Ut
most freedom of the action Of the head,
body and limbs, 80 that the animal may
attain the highest possible rate OF speed.
In speeding a horse the lines need seldom
be grasped in both hands when the road
is straight, and free from distractions.
The true way to drive Is to let the horse
drive himself, the driver doing little but
directing him and giving him that conf
dence which a horse gets in himself only
when he feels that a guide and friend is
back of him."

Parasitic r angl.

Fungi, saysthe learned DR.. j. Lippin>
colt, are an extensive family of cryptog.
amous plants, generally known as mush-
rooms, tOad-stools, rust, smut, mould,
mildew, etc. They are generally para.
site, deriving their nourishment in
whole or part from the substances they
infest. They are found wherever there
il decaying vegetation on which to feed,
and sometimes prey upon living tissues.
Nothing of vegetable origin is free from
their ravages, when eIpOsed to influences
favorable to their growth. They are
found also IN animal objections, whose
death they cause Of the human skin,
aud even on stones, on iron, but a few
hours removed from the forge, and on
acid chemical solutions. Some cutan.
eous diseases are the result of these vege.
table parasites. OLDHAM abicdns forms
a disease called aptha on the mucous
membrane of the tongues OF infants,
penetrating so deeply as to be irremova.
BILE by art. 1t is found also in the nose,
the windpipe, stomach and intestines.
Fungi are attendants of diphtheris, and
are present in cholera morbus, as well as
in yellow fever. Other parasites, not
much dissimilar, abound in the scalp,
causing disease Others OH the teeth,
some on the respiratory organs of
birds, in their brains and eggs, and they
have ever been observed In the midst of
the human eye.
Fish are often covered with them, and
the silk worm is often destroyedby them.
The potato rot is occasioned by one and
perhaps two forms of these parasites.
DIR. Lacock regards diphtheria as due to
the OLDHAM abicans, whose sporules have
been found in the mucous of the mouth,
fauces, etc. Vitrary and Desmartis,
eminent French physicians, are of the
opinion that there is nc Indifference between
the Oidiam aibicrns and OLDHAM Tucke,ii

latter the European vine mildew. Pro-
fessor J. Salisbury has shown conclu.

christened We no.nah. One day, when
the in ant had grown 10 be a sturdy
child Of about twelve months, Captain
Graham, his CONS and all the men ser,
wants being absent, driving a herd OF
cattle TO Fort Dearborn, the young
mother sat singing q cradle song TO her
child sleeping at her feet, when she was
startled by seeing the chief ride up to
+ G door. He was painted in the war
paint of his tribe, and looked stern and
savage. SURPRISING With great difficulty
anI 4 wonderful self control all indica-
tons Of di,trust and fear, she welcomed
him kindly, placed food before him and
treated him with all the kindness Of an
old friend, He haughtily refused the
food she offered, and stood gazing wildly
upon her and the sleeping child. She
saw that his rage and passions were
rising into uncomfortable fury, and that
he was working himself up to n des,
perate deed. His face grew dark and
black IA the thunder cloud before the
lightning bursts; his eyes cleaned with
ferOcity; one hand clutched the scalping'
knife, and the other the t0mahawk,
which he WAS already raising. A horrid
death for herself and her child seemed
her instant doom, when a sudden thought
oi appealing to the Indians better nature
flashed through her brain, and, instantly
Selling her child and holding him up to
the chief, she cried "Look, WG>no-nah!
Is not this a noble boy? He will be a
great chief. | have named him WeNnO'
nah, in memory of you.' The child
smiled AT the feathers which hung from
| the head bending over him. For a mo.
ment the Indian hesitated, the tomahawk
was lowered in his grasp, and then he
exclaimed, with a bitter smile: Pap
poose is very brave, white squaw very
bad, white pappoosc il good, We-no.na
will make a great chief Of the young
eagle" and instantly matching the child
from the arms Of the hOrr3r-stricken
mother, and spriDging with it away from
her imploring gesture, in IN instant he
WAS on the back of his hOrse, flying like
the wind ACROSS the prairies; and before
Captain Graham and his party could
return he had placed the Mississippi
between him and the heart-brokeL
mother, and was Aging far toward the
Rocky mountains. No efforts Of the
family or the government were ever able
to rescue the stolen child.

sively that fever and ague result from
fungi. He has not only detected, figured
and described, with minute accuracy,
the spores OF fungus which produce the
disease, but he propagated and cultivated
the pants within doors TO an extent
sufficient TO cOntaminate the atmosphere
of the room, aud induce attacks of disease
among its inmates, He says: THESE
microscopic iungoid growths are also the
p%redisposing cause of y%ariola, and OF
smallpox, OF the cholera and the rinder-
pest, and the plague Of olden time
Their dwelling places are AZ universal as
their growth is simple; the air we breathe
contains them, and the winds watt their
seminal spores from the equator to the
poles.
"They attack the housekeeper's bread
and cheese, her preserves, her ink and
her linen. Her yeast consist of living
organisms, and the various kinds OF fer
mentatiOn, such az %vinous, a%cetous, Tactic,
etc, are due to different generations OF
the same species, all Of which are fungi,
He then adds: "These are not confined
to seeming dead forms Of matter, but
they play havoc with our fruits, as the
peach, the pear and the plum, and attack
remorsclessly the foreign gooseberry, and
both the foreign and native vine and
grape" Although much has been deter.
mined regarding fungi, it may be affirmed
that less is known Of them than any other
organized structure; but enough IL
known Of them to show that they are
perfect plants, growing from and pro
ducing bodies analogous to seeds, that a
single plant produces millions OF spores
or productive bodies, which are 80 small
that they float upon the air, scarcely
affected by gravity; that they remain
for an indefinite period inert, and are
called into activity by atmospheric
changes favorable to their termination ;
so that their sudden appearance Can be
readily explained to be due to natural
causes, obscure only because unknown.
