How Poston Founded Yuma.

In 1851 Professor Raphael Pum-
pelly described Yuma as a place
consisting of one house, and says
that Col. G. D. Poston, now of the
Florence Land Office, gave him the
following account of its origin:
Soon after the purchase of Ari.
IONA Poston had organized party
and explored the new region.
Wishing to raise capital in Califor-
MIA to work q valuable mine, he
was going there lin 1854 or 1861
with his party. When they reached
the Colorado river at this point.
The ferry belonged to German,
(Inegsr,) whose fares for the party
would have amounted to about $25.
Having no money, they encamped
near the ferry to hold council
over this unexpected turn Of
affairs, when Poston, with the
ready wit of an explorer, hit upon
the expedient Of paying the ferry
age in city lots. Setting
the engineer (Herman Ehren berg
of the party, and under him the
whole force, at work with the in
struments and a great display of
signal-staffs, they soon had the city
laid out in squares and streets, and
represented III due form on an elab-
crate map, not forgetting water lots
and steam ferry. Attracted by
the unusual proceedings, the owner
of the ferry crossed the river and
began to lnterrogate the busy sur
vsyors, by whom he was referred to
Poston. On learning from that
gentleman that q city was being
founded SO near his own land, the
German became interested; and as
the great future of the place was
unfolded in glowing terms, and the
necessity Of steam ferry for the
increasing trade dwelt upon, he he
came enthusiastic and began nego-
tiations for several lots. The result
was the sale of a small part of the
embryo city and the transportation
of the whole party over in part pay
ment for one lot.-Hinton's Hand
Book.

Our Washington correspondence
Of the 18th has just arrived. Most
Of Its contents have been antlci-
pated, but we give the following
curious extract from the letter:
Col. bob" Ingersoll still con-
tinues to lombard the different
Christian churches with his gun so
heavily overloaded with ridicule
and derision that the Graphic COR
respondent intimates that he had
made himself amenable to an old
Colonial law still in force here,
though It fell into desuetude quite
. century ago and its existence
seems to have been forgotten for
several generations until recently.
The Graphic says: "Col. Bob In
gersoll 10 delivering his lectures on
religious subjects here, and for his
Information 1T should be stated that
tho Attorney General recently de-
cided that the old Colonial law is
still In force In this District, never
having been repealed. The first
section Of this law provides that IF
any person shall deny our Saviour,
Jesus Christ, to be the son of God,
or shall deny the Holy Trinity, the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or the
Godheads of any Of the three Per-
sons or the unity Of the Godhsad,
or shall utter any lprofane words
concerning the Holy Trinity, or
any Of the Persons thereof, and
shall be thereof convicted, he or
abe shall, for the first offence be
bored through the tongue; for the
second offence shall be stigmatised
by burning the forehead with the
letter B., and for the third offence
shall suffer DEATH" Judging, how.
ever, from the crowds who came
out to hear Ingersoll, to laugh at
his sallies and to applaud what
would have been regarded as bias
phsmous only few years ago,
there is very poor show for him
to gain q martyrs crown at the
hands of Washington audience.
It Is said that his hearers include
many of the most cultivated minds
here, male and female; and what
may still appear more anomalous is
the fact that many of his most en-
thusiastic hearers--those loudest in
their approval-are members of
evangelical churches here or else
where.

says, Scientific Papers, Biographical sketches

higher standard of literature than any peri
