Texas-Pacific Men ID Depressed.

NEW YORK, December 17th.-The SUMS
Washington special says the Texas-Pacific
men were depressed last night at the re-
suit in the Senate. Their manager, Mat
thews, undoubtedly expected that by
antagonizing Blaine's resolutions with the
Texas-Pacific bill, he would get solid
Democratic vote. This would have been
claimed as triumph for the job, but the
effort was q failure. This defeat, together
with the suit begun in this district by
French lardgrant bondholders, has made
the lobby very blue. The application
made by ex-senator Carpenter for a re-
stralning order against the Texas-Pacifc
to prevent the transfer of great proper
ton of the land grant from the State of
Texas; which is security pledged By the
old Memphis and Ell Paso road for the
bonds issued and sold in France by FIRE.

the Texas Pacific. 1t will OPEN up the
whole subject of the sale of the Memphis

and the State Court of Texas. A bill in

care by Matt Carpenter and Douglass
Campbell, of New York, and some start

hearing takes place. This is a direct
challenge in the Courts John A. c. Grey
and the Texas-Pacifc to submit, if they

1t is said to be en- earnest and bona fide
effort TO secure futicial inquiry into
alleged collusive proceedings, by which
the Memphis and Ell Paso was turned over

legal chicanerF, transferred to the Texas.

CNJeLFRY and menace are be-
ing dealt out with unsparing hand
by parties at Prescott, who seem
possessed by feverish and need
less anxiety lest the Capital of
Arizona be transferred by the
coming Legislature to some other
location less beautiful, perhaps,
but more accessible. Phoenix is
threatened with a new town, to
be bullt at Gila Bend, which shall
deprive her of all business with
Ylvapaa County. Silly menace!
the topography of She country
forbids its ever being carried out.
It is one of those futile bluffs"
which frightens nobody and irri-
tates everybody. Itcan be quick
ly checkmated by wagon-road,
which would conduct, via Phe-
nix, to railroad near Maricopa
Wells, the entire trade of the
Bradshaw and Sierra Prieta
mines.
Yuma is menaced with a refu-
sal of appropriations for charging
the Territorial Prison; as if Yuma,
with her enormous proportion of
floating and transient inhabitants,
cares ten cents whether or not
there is room in the Prison for
convicts from Yavapai--and else
where. Our Representative, Mr..
Purdy, is fattered with promises
of the Speakershipj our Council
man, Mr.. Welcome, is titillated
with hints that he may be made
President of the Council. These
Establishments are calculated to
make legislators-fr from Yuma feel
kindly toward andsact with those
from Yavapai-as well as to in
huence their action in bestoWing

Members from Yuma can proba-
bly, fill the positions named as
ably as those from any other
County. They are known to feel
as kindly toward Prescott as most
of their constituents do; ,but they
are under no pledges. It can not
be denied that Phoenix is of
easier access for Yuma than Pres

RADIX," in one of his recent New
York letters, makes good point apropos OF
life insurance investigations and troubles
generally, by calling attention to the fallacy
of Judging of the reliability of companies
according to their bulk. Many such 1nsti
tutions seek to dazzle the public eye by
printing their large gross assets in the heav.
lest type, and by laying great stress upon
the nominal millions under their control to
win confidence and prevent any close anal
ysis of the whole statement. He points out
the plain, but often-forgotten fact, that even
conceding the equally good quality of the as
sets of two companies, it is not necessarily the
one with the most millions which is safest for
the policy holder, but the one whose net
eurplus bears the largest ratio to its whole
property. Judged by this sound and search.
ing principle, "Radix" finds the IEtna Life
Insurance Company, of Hartford, to be one
of the strongest, if not the very strongest,
institution of the kind in the country. With
a little over twenty-four millions of assets
it has about four and quarter millions Of
clear surplus. The special commission ap-
pointed by the Legislature of Connecticut a
year ago, to investigate all the life insurance
companies of that State, say of the Etna
that it is not only solvent, but financially
sound, and under the management of off.
GERS and dieectors of large experience,
sound Judgment, and unblemished charac
ter, and entitled to the entire confidence of
policy holders and the public" Taking the
above facts and this official Endorsement to-
gether, it is evident that this writer's esti>
mate of the Ktna is one that can be every
where safely indersed.

BONAPARTE'S MANNER.
Recollections Of the MARQUIS de Beauregard

Recolections Of the Marquis de Beauregardr
Generally, the speeches of Bonaparte
were lucid and sparkling; the were con
else, vigorous, full of power and sense
but wanting in feeling. The impression
excited by this young man was painful
imagination; the mind was dazzled by
the superiority of his talents, but the
heartfelt oppressed. There was not to
he found in him any trace Of that gener-
GUS magnannimity that forestalls con-
6dence, and forms the most beautiful
feature in the character OF heroes. 4
\ \ Among the personages
met in the different scenes just de-
scribed, Bonaparte alone seemed,
to possess the habits and easy air
given by frequenting society. His smooth
auburn hair was dressed in a queue it
was not powdered, and hung very low
over his forehead and the sides of his
face; his eyes we're red with fatigue.
He had the smooth, sallow coloring that
Psychologists state to belong to melan-
choly temperaments, and is, in their
opinion, an index of the greatest powers
of mind. Lastly, as said before, he was
quite destitute OF gentleness Or grace.
His actions and words always bore the
impress of hard arrogance, making his
superiority always felt, but by making
others i'll at ease. AS ne was going away
the Marquis Henry somewhat happily
expressed the painful feeling he had ex-
perienced. General" was his departs
ing speech, "why cannot men love you
as much as they are compelled to esteem
and admire you!"

A Result of Obstruc:ed Digestion.

Among the hurtfu! consequences of OBJ
structed digestion is the impoverishment of
the blood, and since a deteriorative condi-
ton of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weakness, but, according
to the best medical authorities, sometimes
causes asphyxia, it is apparent that to
improve the quality OF the blood by promot-
ing digestion and assimilation, is a wise
precaution. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
precisely the remedy for this purpose, since
it stimulates the gastric juices, conquers
which interfere with the digestive processes,
promotes assimilation of the food by the
blood, and purifes as we'll as enriches it..
The signs of improvement in health in con-
sequence of using the Bitters are speedily
apparent in an accession of vigor, gain in
bodily substance, and regular and active
performance Of every physical function.

Hogs for the South.

On this subject the Southern Planta-
tion says:
it is an easy matter now for our farm.
to improve the breed Of their hogs. We
have recently seen several stocks of hogs
where q beginning has been made and
the improvements very apparent. We
see scattered about in various places
Berkshires, Poland Chinas; but few OF
them, however, are pnre and thorough
bred. Farmers can now generally pro-
cure these half breeders. We do not,
however, recommend this plan. Il ia
true that a grade OF half breed Berkshire
or Poland China would be better than o
scrub; but it will cost but little more
to procure thoroughbred animals fol
breeders; and these with eur facilities
for shipping can now be procured at
small cost if they cannot be obtained in
the immediate neighborhood. And
we would recommend that, where
persons are able to do SO, they
procure q pair, so as to keer
up the pure breed. Such a pail
will soon furnish thoroughbred breeder.

more profit IN raising and selling them

Who Loses the Eight Cents.

Seventy or eighty papers have come to
hand this week, inquiring in pathetic
voice who it is that loses the eight cents
when laboring man takes ninety-two-
cent silver piece for dollar. Now, this
is the very thing that has puzzled U.S.
If carpenter receives from the govern
ment ninety.twe.cent silver piece for
dollar and passes it upon his butcher for
dollar, and the butcher passes it upon
the shoemaker for dollar, and the shoe
maker passes it upon his landlord for a
dollar, and the landlord passes it for
dollar upon the state for taxes, and the
state passes it for a dollar upon a mason
for work on the new state-house, and the
mason passes it for dollar to merchant
for silk dress for his wife, and the mer-
chant passes it for dollar to the custom
house officer for import duties, and the
United States treasurer passes it as dol
lar to soldier, and the soldier passes it SIS
dollar to the same carpenter herein.
before previously mentioned, we are
unable to see who has lost the Gig hit cents.
Happy thought-perhaps the loss fell on
some man who did not get it! Seriously,
the same man who lost the eight cents
loses sixteen cents every time he
takes four silver quarters, that have only
eighty-four cents worth Of silver in them.
But, even then, the five-cent nickles
puzzle us. In dollars worth of these
there is only nineteen cents worth of
metal. Now will some of the editors
who Lie awake at nights to figure such
things out please to inform us who it is
that loses the eighty-one cents every
time dollars worth of nickles is passed
Who loses four cents every time FIVE
cent piece is paid for a glass Of lager or
. car ride? The little copper cents are
even greater robbery. We have not
the heart to 90 into calculation as to
how many million dollars are wrung from
the horny-handed bondholder every day
IN the passage Of this debased cent, but
1t is inconceivable how an opponent Of
the Bland. bill can pass one OF these
fraudulent tokens--even at a distance,
without blushing for the perfdy of his
race New York Graphic.
St. Landry democrat., 1878-04-06


At late meeting of farmers club in
New York state, member said: "One
difficulty with most of us is that we
allow our clover fields to run too long
before we plow them up. Now, were I
to suggest method, I would say NOW
the clover early the first year, and cut a
crop of seed, and NOW again early the
next season. let the second crop of clover
grow until the first of August, then turn
it under as perfectly as possible. Roll
it, harrow and cultivate it thoroughly
and SOW it with wheat, and my opinion
is that it will do better than summer
fallow. My reason is, the soil is much
lighter. By the decay of the clover
roots wheat gets good start in the fall,
and when summer comes and the dry
weather we generally have just before
wheat fills the roots get down to the
moist decsyed clover, turned under and
the heads fill out beautifully, and the
wheat will be very heavy. If you wish
to plant with corn there is no better field
for that purpose than good clover sod
turned under. Follow your corn with
barley, then with wheat and seed with
clover. Try this method with one field
and another with timothy; give each
field the same quantity of fertilizers for
ten years and gee which field will be in
the best condition. With such rota-
ton OF crops our land will improve with
8 crop every year, instead of losing one
year in four or five for fallowing.-[T B.

Country R1a<ss.


A correspondent gives the following
timely suggestions and information in
regard to subject that receives too
little attention in most districts:
The surface of a road is not to be
regarded as an arch to sustain the weight
of the vehicles passing over it, but as a
roof to protect the material beneath.
The road bed should be thoroughly
drained, else the road can never be good
A loose sandy road will be improved by a
coat of six inches of clay; this may be
placed on one.half of the road, leaving
the other half for summer gravel. In like
manner a coat of six inches of sand on
clay road will be material improvement.
The surface of road should slope six
inches in ten feet from the center line.
The lines of slope should be straight
not curved. The plow and scraper should
never be used on roads; their work is
great in quantity, but wretchedly poor
in quality. The pillow breaks up the sur.
face, which by use has become hard and
passably smooth, and the scraper brings
in from the sides alluvial soil and matter
liable to decay. All holes or depressions
should be at once filled up; the neglect
of this is the great fault in our system of
road repairing. A little work is done once
a wear and the rest of the time the road
is left to take care of itself Holes should
not be filed with alluvial matter or turf
which, though at first deceptibly tough,
soon disintegrates, and forms the worst
sort of mud. Nor should they be filled
with stone, which does not wear evenly
with the rest of the road, but leaves it in
bumps and ridges.
