Sleep. my darling, thou art weary
God Is good, but life is dreary.

I have watched thy beauty fading.
And thy strength sink day by day,
Soon, / know, will want and fever
Take thy little life away,
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We could suffer all, my baby,
Had we but crust Tor thee.
Better thou should perish early,
Starve so soon, my darling one,
Then in hopeless sin and sorrow
Vainly live as have done.
Better that thy angel spirit
With my JOY, my peace, were flown,
Than thy heart grow cold and careless,
Reckless, hopeless like my own.

And my brain is all opprest;
have scarcely strength 10 press thee
Wan AID feeble to my breast.
Patience, baby, God will help US,
Death will come to thee aud me;
He will take us to His Heaven,
Where no wan- or pain can be.
Such the plant that, late and early,
Did we listen we might hear
Close beside us-but the thunder
Of a city dulls our ear,
Every heart, as Gods bright angel,
Can bid one sorrow cease;
God has glory when His children
Bring his poor ones JOY and peace.

Outrage by Bannock Indians - A
Formidable Hand ia the FieId.
BOISE CITY, Idaho, May 30th.-
Two citizens, j. M. Baker and NJ.
G. Campbell, arrived here at seven
O'Clock this evening, having rid
den ninety miles from their camp
on Big Camas Prairie since IL A.
NJ. to-day. Before leaving two
men came into their camp who
had been shot by Bannock Indians,
one severely wounded in the head
and the other dangerously wounded
in the body and speeches. when
they left him. Baker and Camp
bell report about 200 Bannock In-
dians encamped in the lava beds,
between the Big Camas Prairie and
Snake river, led by Buffalo Horn,
noted Bannock scout, the one
they now acknowledge as their
chief. The Bannocks have been
known for some time past to be
contemplating hostilities and this
Indian, Buffalo Horn, has been
continually with them. About two
weeks ago Buffalo Horn was here
with a small escort endeavoring to
purchase ammunition but failed
until he procured an order from
Mason Brayman, Governor OF the
Territory, authorizing and
recommending the selling
of ammunition to him,
on the ground that he was u
good Indian and "loyal." The cit
zens are much incenssd against
Brayman for giving the Indian
this order, which was in plain vio-
lation of standing order from the
President strictly prohibiting the
sale or gift of ammunition to In
dians. Buffalo Horn left we'll sup
piled with ammunition procured
by means of this order from Bray
man, and he is now at the head of
a formidable band of hos
tile Indians. He has told
the settlers that they must
leave the prairie or be killed
and has already commenced the
work of massacre. About ninety
mounted troops, under Maj. Col
Inns and Col. Bernard, will leave
here at once for the scene of trouble.
This force is entirely inadequate to
the task of attacking the Indians
in the lava beds, but will be able to
afford protection TO the settlers on
the prairie.

FROM Col. w. r. Olden, of Ana
helm, who was in Los Angeles yes
terday, we learn some interesting
facts about the crops. From him
we hear of the only disaster we
have yet to note from any quarter
whatever to the wheat crop of Los
Angeles county. The excess-not
deficiency : of rainfall this
year has damaged the wheat
in the neighborhood of New
port. 1t has lolged and
failed TO fill out. The luxur-
lance of the stalk growth, from the
superintendent rains, with the hot
sun of Southern California, has
superinduced crust" The barley
is in capital trim every where. The
corn is every where most vigorous,
but is threatened, in some sections
of Southern Los Angeles, with a
worm which remarkably resem-
bles the tobacco worm Of Virginia.
A few weeks, however, Will limit
the power of this worm to do mis-
chief, because it can only subsist
on the most tender vegetables.
The volume of our crops is so large
this year that it is almost relief
to hear Of some drawbacks which
threaten their curtailmeut. If we
had the full facilities of export
abroad which we ought to have the
case would be different.

HAT farming may be emphati-

THAT farming may be emphati-
cally profitable in Los Angeles
county we learn, amongst other
sources, from a chance converse
ton with Col. w. r. OIden. -Four
years ago that gentleman sold forty
acres of land, below Artesia, be.
longing to the Stearns's Rancho, for
twenty dollars an acre, to Mr.. John
Goedell. GoedeH was an up coun-
try farmer and hard working man,
and he came to Los Angeles main
ly on account of his health. Hav-
ing purchased his farm he set him.
self at once to work to sink an ar
tesian well. Having accomplished
this, he put real elbow grease into
his venture, and the result is that,
in the four years past, he has clear
ed the price of his farm just five
times. 1t is in the face of such
achievements that we have hum
dreds of people in Los Angeles
county who stand around aud be-
wall their inability to earn living
here. In the first place, the spon-
taneous grasses are so abund'
ant that q COW can be maintained,
through the whole year, on sin.
gle acre II the farmer, however, is
industrious enough to plant and
cultivate alfalfa, he can maintain
three cows to the acre. What this
section needs is an industrious pop
ulation of the John Goedell stripe,
and we never need hope to accom-.
plish much until we secure it.

WE present, in our telegraphic
columns, a dispatch giving the
nominees for delegates at large to
the Constitutional Convention
from thi. district. We have just
time to say, as newspaper man,
that we take an exquisite pleasure
in the nomination of our confrere,
Col. ]. J. Ayers, of the Express.
Ripe scholarly attachments, a fine
personal honor, a conversance with
the needs of California extending
back to the pioneer days, the early
training of a lawyer and a dis.
tinguished rank in his later pro-
fession-one in which he is most
specially qualified to be useful
that of a journalist, all pointed out
our friend for this signal honor.
We tender him our sincere con-
CALCULATIONS and felicitate the San
Jose Convention on having done its
work so well. OF the other nomi-
nees we shall have something 10

rnrs,rn Grain Markets.

The Mark Lane Express says the agri-
cultural outlook is decidedly less favorable
than three week ago. Unless dry forcing
weather comes quickly the hope for an album
dant cereal harvest must be abandoned Grass
is everywhere abundant, and the hay crop
will be very large. The glowing reports of the
condition of the crops in America and other
grain producing countries, added to the
Guiescent state of politics, has rendered the
wheat trade remarkably dull and almost stag
nant. Notwithstanding the adverse weather
and light foreign shipments for London trade
has been continually lethargic, and the
amount of business SO, insignificant as to
furnish no index of the Course of prices. En-
glish wheat at the country markets declined
two shillings, but farmers were not eager to
SELL Much of the inactivity has doubtless
been owing to the suspense about the Eastern
question. As few days will probably deter
mine the course of affairs, movement in
trade, even if downward, may be expected
soon. Maize is lower and quiet in conse-
quence of heavy American shipments for the
week ending the 10th. The floating cargo
trade for wheat was dull at former prices.
There have been few arrivals at ports of call.
Maize yielded one shilling and one shilling I'D.
again owing to American shipments. Sales

commander-in-chief of the Cuban patriot
forces, arrived in New York on the Goth IIlt,
from Jamaica He is accompanied by two
members of his staff Brigadiers Arcadia
LiTedal and Juan Rios Rivers. The general
has been wounded 81 times since the begin
ming of the campaign, and now carries in his
body four bullets. He says during the past
six years the patriots have been constantly
promised aid form this country, but up to the
present time they received absolutely nothing,
The strength of the patriot army to-day is not
much over 1000 men, but they are well armed
and drilled and in fine condition. They have
opposed TO them over 1900 Spanish troops
who give the patriots not minutes peace.
The general asserts that there is not the
slightest truth in the report Of his surrender.
He saws, 81 have made no terms whatever
