AsHEs FoR TRTIr TREEs.

The editor of the Ho9jcttikarist says:
"We have known quite n number of
instances indeed. ss,,Often as, to make
it quite rule-where old orchards APP
parently dying out have been brought
back again to usefulness by the
liberal use of wood ashes, also stirring
the soil. Potash-is the most important
element in the successful growth efsall
kinds of fruit trees. An old gentleman
told club, not long ago, that be. had
known man make and preserve an
orchard of apple trees in a iiourishing
and productive condition, originally
placed ON very poor ground, by sprink
ling every year around each tree, to the
circumference of the. extent of its
branches, half bushel Of ashes. We
consider this very important item. "

As q beverage, coffee is agreeable;
but it should not be very strong, nor
drank too eften, as it IS undeniabIy a
stimulant. Take only one cup at the
regular meal, and that Of q given I'm
varying strength. In this way it may
be used every day for lifetime, not
only vithout injury, but with greater
advantage than an equal amount OF
cold water. 81 We have heard Of q lady
who was for . long time in poor health,
to the mysti6cation Of several physil
cipns whom she consulted, when at last
they discovered that she made d most
extravagant use Of strong cofTee many
times aday---in fact, she had q pct 81
coffee always at hand. Following the
advice to abstain from coffee resulted

ERES. saf

During the recent panic in Ian
cashire. lady who had a considerable
snm ON deposit. went TO her hank and
told the manager chat she needle'l all
her money, and that she would have
gold. The sum was placed before her,
whereupon she remarked, ''No, wont
take it out now,H and the gold was re
placed. The lady left the hank con-
WINGED that the, money was safe, be
cause, as she thought, she had seen it.
Perhaps the most ludicrous incident oc-

person who had deposit in the bank,
became alarmed as to the solveney of
the institution and protected himself
by drawing out the amount-in bank

string TO be revenged ON an unpopular
banker, bought up and destroyed the
notes. One very. comical incident IS
reported at Ashton. A man who had
deposit in the local branch Of Man

amount and posted it to Manchester,
where he deposited it in the head Office

INTERFERENCE,

aa. The Lacademonians, in order to dis
gust their sons with this vice, took a
number Of slaves, made them drink, and
took them to the public mar
ket place, where they acted foolishly
and raved like madmen; some laughing,
others lighting, shouting, reeling to and
fro, lying in the mud, grunting ike
pigs, acting like beasts instead Of men.
In this situation the slaves we're ex-
hibited to their children, that, being
disgusted with the effects Of drunken
ness, they might avoid every tempta-
ton to it. Unfortunately in modern
times, there are willing slaves to the
monster intemperance, who display al
the characteristics above described.
Let young and old take warning and
avoid evil consequences. .l.ss

NECK-TWIsTING ~ CHURCHES.

There are practices which are tolerat
cd in religious congregations which
Christians, who arc jealous Of the hon.
or Of their Masters house, should ut.
terly condemn. Dscorum is the hand,
maid OF devotional feeling, and for this
reason q church should never be dis
turbcd by the slightest approach 10 ir,
reverence. at is part Of my religion,
HAid pious old lady, whsn asked why
she went early to church, at is a
part Of my religion not to interrupt
the religion Of others"
And We believe if many eongrega-
ton made il part of their religion not
10 twist their necks out Of joint to
witness the entrance of every person
who passed up the aisle OF a chnrth, it
would be better for their nccks and
their religion. A gross abuse of reli,
gious decorum sometimes needs harsh
remedy. We give that adapted by
Henry Clay Dean, who was at one time
the chaplain Of Congress. The anee.
dote is from a paper called the Pacific
@AeAftp4tHts
. Being worried one aietFnoon by this
turning practice in the congregation,
Mr.. Dean stopped in his sermon and
said; L...
"Now, you listen to me, and III tell
you who the people are as each one Of
them comes in f.ifu
He went on with his discourse until
q gentleman entered, when he bawled
out, like an usher:
Deacon A-who keeps the shop
over the way" 10 i'
{ He went on with his sermon, when
presently another man passed up the
aiale, when he gave his name, residence
and occupation; so he continued for
some time.
At length some one opened the door
who was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when
he cried out: Isa sl 4s.a
"a little old man, with drab coat
and an old white hat; don't know
himAlook for yourselves" :.

THE TRUE POLICY.

EDITOR HERALD: The question has been frequently asked within the past fortnight: "Is it proper for candidate for office to take q part in the primaries or nominating convention"
 Though partisan and an advo- cate of strict party organization-a democrat by instinct and education Il believer in the fundamental doctrines of the party aud an ad- mirer of the grand achievements of its past history that
 "Go sounding dcwn the ages"
 l have entertained, for many years past, but one and the same opinion upon the question presented above; and that is, that no man who in- tends to present his name or knows that 1t will be presented by his con- sent, before nominating conven- ton as q candidate for office, should attempt in any manner whatever to control the primaries to secure tho election of delegates pledged to his support, or go into the final or nom- mating convention to assist in his own nomination.
 No honest man can sit as a prop III his own cause, no true man will sit as his own elector. Corrupt in- huences used by candidates to se- cure their own nomination and election are among the most threat ening evils of our government; and that candidate who resorts to such means to secure his nomination or election should be discarded at the polls, and he who resorts to these practices is aiding and abetting in political crime which strikes at the very foundation of good and hon est administration of our local gov erDment.
 Let every man say to himself, unless my party presents a ticket of capable and honest men to fill the places of public trust, I shall vote where l find these qualities, re- gardless of party lines.
 Let the citizen make it political death to that party which places in in nomination, incapable and cor rupt men, then We will have pure party organizations, which are the strongest safeguards to Republican Government. A. D. LEMON.

RECEPTION TO COY. sReaosT.

The Pioneers of Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, are making preparations for the re- ception of Gen. John c. Fremont, the new Governor of Arizona. as he passes through that State en route to his home Our own Territory will not be behind in showing her mark of appreciation, as the greater number of our citizens entertain for him, feelings of pride for what he has dene for this western country in years gone by. The city of Los Angeles-the garden spot of the world-wiil do him honor, for to him is accredited its capture from the Mexicans, and it's occupation by Americans. We doubt if he will recognize his old battle field, such grand changes have taken place. The General will make his stay in California short; as it is his desire to reach his new official station at the earliest moment.
 In our kind offices to Gov. Ere mont. let us not forget that he dis places a man in whom the people of Arizona have the greatest conf dence, and in whom can be said |" he has done no evil, then why re- mOvest thou him ?" It is to be hoped that Gov. Hoyt will remain with us, and become q permanent citizen of the Territory that he has helped to build up.

IKE IRON HORSE.

The approach of the iron horsc
 toward the eastern border has thrown the slOw-going people of our neighboring Territory into state of feverish excitement, not so much over the anticipated changes, that must follow the acquisition of rail road facilities, as ever the gouging game the railroad magnates are playing, From the papers of that
 Territory we learn, that the Ipana- gers of the Denver & Rio Grande narrow-gauge railroad have made a .eremptory demand upcn the citi- Eens of Santa Fe for the sum of S2oO,OOO in bonds aud other privi- leges, as an induceluent to bring their road to that city, otherwise they will build q town of their own at a point on the river soma dis tance below. This, the papers oppose as an unjust and unreasona- ble demand, but at the same time, they favor a liberal donation of mon- ey and lands to the Company. The present indications are that the Company will succeed in their de- mand. The other road-the Atch- ison, Topeka S Santa Fe, railroad will probably pass some 50 miles north of the town, on a direct route to Arizona and the Southern Pacific to Fort Yuma. Should they do SO, a town will probably spring up at the crossing of the Rio Grande and the Atchison, Topeka x Santa Fe read. The completion of these roads will be of great benefit 10 our Ter ritory, and particularly of this sec tion, whose agricultural products will be brought close to a market by means of them. They will open up a vast country, rich in min- eral wealth and agriculture. The remarkable progress made by these two roads in the past year, has awakened the railroad company of the west and they too will soon push forward their road. That is what we want, for it will bring cheap CT transportion so that we can de velop our mines and other resources and also add to the population and wealth of the Territory.

THE OElE6ACY.

There have been rumors going the rounds, that it is the intention of Col. Woolsey to withdraw from the Congressional fight. Such is not the case. We are assured from the beginning of his candidacy, that he intended and still intends torun the race through, as he and his friends have every assurance of success. We notice by the Prescott papers that the Hon. A. E. Davis has consented to be candidate for Congressional honors. Judge Por- ter of Yuma, well knowing his chances for an election would be slim, has withdrawn. Mir. Davis is regarded as q man of ability, and we would not be understood as dis couraging him in the race. but would intimate, that he stands a poor chance to sit in the next Congress, as we believe that our candidate, Col. Woolsey, will surely carry Maricopa, Yavapai, Yuma, Pinal and Pima and in all probability, Mohavc.

4 LESSON FOR US.

During the present season, a large number of wheat fields in Californit have been destroyed by fire, from the steam threshers. When grain is ready for the sickle it is easily ig- nited, and when once under head
 way, nothing can check it. In cities, great precaution is exercised in building houses. because of the close proximity of others, why should not the same care be taken in grain fields. One way to pre- vent the spread is to leave strips naked. or plant corn, alfalfa, and evergreen trees on the line and through the farm. By this means a fire could be checked. This can not be done by one farmer alone, but if all would combine and take the necessary steps it would save many a serious conhagration. Let our farmers remember that to be '' forewarned is 70 be forarmed." "
