that the morals of the best meaning parrots in the world were apt to suffer in consequence.
 But even as he spoke the parrot had another fit, and it was determ- ined to attempt to save its life at whatever risk of its morals; so witE- out delay, the nautical bird was brought and placed in the cage.
 "Avast there, mattel" said this feathered son of Neptune.
 "The Lord be praised-for To ! the bridegroom cometh," feebly re- sponded the sick parrot.
 You bet your bottom dollar on thatl' said the disreputable bird
 ."Heave alongside!"
 And there were twelve foolish virgins who--' continued the sufferer, still quoting scripture.
 "Virgus be blowed!' replied the ancient Nariner. who had travelled and observed. That's played out. Open the hatchway! Haul taut the stern sheetsl Starboard your helm, and IT,"
 At this moment a shrick from the mortified lady, who swooned in the Captains arms, drowned the remark. What the abandoned bird said will never be known; but this was the reply of the pious one
 For what we are about to re- ceive, On Lord, make us truly grateful.

HOME.

Homes not merely four square walls
 Though with pictures hung and gilded; Home is where gfT- ction calls,
 Filled with shrines the heart has builded Homel 20 watch the faithful dove
 Sailing meath the heaven above us; Home is where there's one to l-vr:
 Home is where there's one to love Us. Home's not merely roof and rom
 It needs something 10 0ndeAr it; Home is where the heaIt can bloom.
 Where there's some kind lip to cheer it, What is home with none to meet,
 None to welcome none to greet usl Home is sweet-and only sweet
 Where there's one We love to nee us.

GRACE BEE ORE MEAT.

That gratitude which consists in lively sense of favors to come is sometimes shown by the humblest of Gods creatures.
 An aged maiden lady had a par rot, the solace of her declining years. She had trained it piously, being of religious turn herself, and taught ii to say most beautiful things out of the Bible. The bird was more to her than words could tell; she loved it dearly, not because it looked Ike her, for that she never knew, but because it was so good and pure a bird, so ready with comforting text when she felt sad. It never eat a cracker without a pious ejaculation between each bite, nor ever thrust its head under its wing without saying its prayers. But disease is no reSpecter of persons or parrots, and tliis exem- piary bird fell sick one day.
 The doctor was called in, but in all his experience he said he had seen nothing like it. The neigh bOrs were summOnd, but none of them appeared to understand the parrots case. The poor bird grew worse, and did nothing but repeat the Book of Job. At this crisis, however. the soIrowing maiden, whose wits were sharpened by the emergency, remembered an elderly sea captain, who lived not fur away, who was believed to know some thing about parrots. At her tear ful summons he gallantly came to the rescue, and, after careful exami- nation of the symptoms, gave it as his opinion that the bird was lone some-in short that it was pining for a mate.
 " Not that you ain't good enough company for a parrot, mum-I don't mean that" said the Captain hastily, but then you know, mum, you both being of the same sex, mum" he continued, turning very red" gentleman bird, that $ what's the matter!" It was a horrible suggestion, but desperate diseases require heroic treatment. Had he a bird of that kind ? Well, yes, he had. And would he bring it over :? Well he would; but then he didn't know as he had oughter, being as how his bird had been raised aboard ship, and wasn't q moral bird, from hearing the sailors talk. Did his bird swear much? Was it so very wicked ? No, it want very heavy on the cuss words-but--and then t he Captain explained to the agitat- ed lady as delicately as he coul d that seafaring men, long deprived of the refining influence of female society, were blunt of speech, and

AGRICULTURAL MATTERS The principal grlin-growing district, this season, is on the Salt River. Salt River cmpiies into the Gila at the Pima Villages, zoo miles from Fort Yuma and l2 miles southwest of Phenix. Much more grain will be raised on the Salt River than on the Gila. The crop this season will n t be less than fifteen million pounds. There Is water enough in the river to irriglte six times the breadth Of land that is in cultivation. The river is as large as would be four such rivers as the Carson and Truckce put together. A dozen diiches from twelve to twenty feet ill width lead from it, and the water they carry is not missed from the stream.
 Along this stream arc seen the remains of ditches wider than the streets of this city that were dug ages and ages ago. They looked about the same as now when they were seen by the Spaniards who first visited the country. They are supposed to have been constructed by race of people who occupied the country before the present Indians obtained possession of it. No country in the world is more cheap ly and conveniently irrigated. The land is level and slopes exactly as it should. Had it been made to or der it could not have been better. The water of Salt river is somewhat brackish, but not to such an extent as to ipjure it for agricultural pur- poses.
Salt River herald., 1878-03-23
4 RIVER OF SALT WATER.

It was long supposed that the brackishness of Salt river was caused by the stream running over a bed of salt somewhere along its course. Its waters arc pure and fresh from where it heads ill the White Mountains to within fifty miles of where it emptics into the Gila. Fifty miles from its junction with the Gila there comes into it a stream of water that is intensely salt. This stream pours out of the side of large mountain and is from twenty to thirty feet in width and about two fee. in depth. It is very rapid and pours into the Salt river a great volume of water.
 Here could easily be manufactur- ed sufficient salt to supply all the markets of the world. All that would be necessary would be to dig ditches and lead the brine to basins in the nearest deserts. The heat of the sun would make the salt. Were there q railroad near the stream, its waters would doubtless soon be turned and led to immense evaporating ponds. It is supposed that the interior of the mountains out of which the stream flows is largely composed of rock salt.
 lnthe Saltriver country, Maricopa county, three Touring mills are in operation, and the flour made is as fine as any manufactured any where og the Pacific Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.
 ALL traits of winter are now fast disappearing in the agricultural sec ton around Camp Verde, and the trees are beginning to don their Spring apparel, the small grain is already inches high despite the few sharp fros of last week, which, though cutting it down somewhat, rather tended to strengthen and to thicken it at the ground. The far mers are all as busy as bees, blow ing, fencing, etc.

tary Of War enclosing letter from

ing an appropriation for continuing
operations in connection with the
construction of jetties at South
Pass, Mississippi river. Referred.
Also, communication from the
Secretary Of War enclosing O letter
from the Chief of Ordnance of the
United States, stating that the
clerical force allowed his office was
inadequate to keep up the work
and suggesting that six additional
clerks be allowed. Referred.
The Senate resumed consideration
of the House bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to EN- pIoy
temporary clerks; also making APP
propriations for detecting t,espasers
on the public lands in certain States
and for other purposes. The pend
ing question was the amendment
Of Beck to that of the Com
mittee OH Appropriations. Beck,
III SApidnutiOu Vi Ills dleuu-
ment, said Its object was
to apply to unsurveyed lands in
the territories, but not to affect
any organized State or surveyed
lands. The Committee ON Appro-
priations had no power to place
such an amendment in an appro-
priation bill. He must protest
against the Committee on Appro-
priations being charged with hos.
tility to the settler because they
did not feel authorized to change
the laws relating to the public
lands. He condemned the employ
ment of spies and said the govern
ment should not use them, except
Ia cases of great exlgency. Agreed

test-O'I.eary stiil Ahead.
LONDON, March 22d.-The peies-
trian contest has now become vir-
tually q match between O'Leary
and Vaughan, all the other COLI
testants being hopelessly behind.
Brown appears certain of the third
place, but he is exceedingly sleepy.
The two leaders maintain re-
markably steady average of about
four miles an hour. O'Leary walks
on track containing eight laps to
the mile, while Vaughan's track
contains seven. O'Leary walks eX-
clusively, while Vaughan trots oc.
casionally, and by this means
has twice managed TO re-
duce O'Leary's lead. This advan-
tage was, however, both times re-
gained. Thus, at 7 o'clock in the
evening, the score stood: O'Leary,
1881; Vaughan, 1926; but, by nine
o'clock, O'Leary had walked 4462
and Vaughan 433 miles. At mid
night O'Leary and Vaughan were
both resting. O'Leary had scored
457, Vaughan AL and Brown 4l5l
miles. Vaughan looks fresher
than O'Leary, but his feet are very
sore and are swathed in cotton
wool. He also suffers somewhat
in the knees, but less than O'Leary.
Victory seems now almost assured
to O'Leary.
