Take your Country Paner.

Do the city papers say anything in regard to your own country? Nothing. Do tAey contain notices of your schoolr, meetings, churches, Improvements and hundreds of oth CT local matters of interest which your home paper publishes without pay? Not an item. Do they ever say word calculated to draw atten- ton to your country, and aid in its progress and enterprise2 Nota line. And there are men who take such -tracted views of this matter that, con unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter in their own as they do in their city paper. they think they are not get ting the worth of their money. It reminds us of the man who took the largest pair efboots in the box bearse the price was the same as ae pair, much smaller, that fitted him.

Railroad Prospects.


 At the present time railr cad ma terial, both ties and rails, is going forward at the rate of over thirty car loads a day. Schooners laden with ties are constantly arriving at Wilmington, and discharging car goes, and we hear of nearly three hundred miles of steel rails having been purchased and shipped.
 The suprintendent of road build ing expects to put a gang of men at work early in the week and also in forms us that he should use Indians in the grading snd thought that they would entirely supercede the ob- jectionable Chinamen. When grad ing commences the work will pro- gress rapidly there being no engin- eering difficulties in the way for over a hundred miles We may conf- dently expect the road to be com pceted to Maricopa Wells in Janu- ary andto Tucson the following sum mer.
 On the other side, the Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, formerly the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe road is pushing things with a vim. They expect to reach Albuquerque by December 1879. Here they are to be met by the Southern Pacific, and the two lines will give a through line to St. Louis, below the snow line and totally unaffected by either snow or floods.
 At St. Louis the traveller has his choice of many roads, running in all directions. But the Southern Pacif. ic proposes to run a line from a point east of Tucson, as yet un- known to us, to Fl Paso, on the Rio Grande. From here, if they get the right of way. they will push east ward until they arrive at New Or. leans, making this the true Southern line from ocean to ocean, from Charleston to Sau Diego, below the | 93d parallel of latitude.
 This is the gist of the movement | nov On foot, and any one can see at a glance that the benefits to be de- rived by the people of southern Cal | itornia, and this county in particular, from the Southern Pacific as com pared with the Tom Scott road are | manifold. Semi -Tropic.

\ GODLY TRIUMPH.
How a ROdie Parson CIinched
 Cherokee Jack.

A RenOite, corrupted by a recent visit to BOdie, is running his soul by the relation of sinful anecdote concerning Cherokee Jack, Bodie- an gambler, and a clergyman of that place. The parson was asking for subscriptions looking to the direction of a church for the orna- mentation of the Bodie landscape, and entered a saloon, where the gambler was seated at table, stir ring a hot whiskey. The parson hailed him in this style:
 "AIr. Jack, you are an ungodly, but I believe, a generous man. Will you contribute something tow ard the erection of church in our midst?"
 The gamblesome one thought deeply for a time, consumed half his punch and made reply:
 "I1l tell yau what I'll do, par son. You was one of the boys yourself onst, I've been told. Sup pose we play game O seven-up to see whether l give you ten dollars or nothing?'
 A light, born of the recollection of other days, gleamed in the eyes of the holy man, and he lifted up his voice and cried aloud:
 "It's a whack!"
 They sat down, these two, the godly and the sinful man, and cut for deal. The parson won and turned jack.
 Count one for the Lord," spok e the parson, and Cherokee begged.
 'Pll give you One," said his rev. erence.
 "It goes," said Jack"
 "And that makes one for the Dev. il, " quoth the parson. But behold when at the end of che deal he took account of that which had come to his net, he spake:
 High, low and the game. added to my friend the jack, scores four for the Lord"
 "I'm bucking agin a game that the Devil can't help a fellow in,' complained the Cherokee as the parson scored three on the next deal and went out. "When the feller you are rlaying with puts on the prayer 'hoodoo' on the keerds," and he handed over the sIO, "there lin't no show for such as me-"
