String on Your Bees.

In travelling up the Colorado
river, at this season, one is struck
by the profusion of flowers borne
by the shrubbery and trees along
its banks. AS far as we can learn
there is not a single stand of bees
on this river. Yet the success of
Peck with bees at Mohawk, on the
ella, related by the SENTINEL a
few weeks ago, should give great
encouragement for apiarists to
start bee ranches out here. The
bottoms of the Colorado are, in
many places of great width, and
are covered with honey-bearing
plants. Bees gather considerable
honey from willow blossoms :;
mezquite flowers almost drip with
it, and are much relished by chill
dren and Indians for their sweet
ness ); guatemote thickets cover
thousands Of acres along the river,
and bear great clusters of white
flowers for several months of
spring and summer. Peck says
his bees are very fond of guate-
mote flowers and make beautiful,
honey from them. The arrow
weed thickets are now in bloom
of little purple flowers, but we do
not know their value for bees.
The mesas beyond the bottoms
always bear many flowers in the
the spring, and again after sum-
mer rains. The value of cacti,
iro lWoOd, palo verde, ETC., for
bees seems established by the
sWarms of honey-loYing flies that
surround them when in bloom.
HOney-deW occurs in the autumn
on the willows and cottonWoods
of the Colorado just as abundantly
as it does On those of the CaIifOr-
MIA coast. The temperature here
cannot be urged as an objection,
it rises no higher than it does in
the Sacramento, San joaquin and
Tulare valleys, where bees are
plenty and thrifty.

They Like Porter.

1t is gratifying to witness the
favor with which the people up
the river regard Judge Porter's
candidacy tor the Office of Dele
gate to Congress. We have long
known that the candidacy of a
Yuma county man would be gen
orally acceptable to the people Of
the Territory, but had no idea, be-
fore travelling from home, that it
would elicit so much enthusiasm.

SURVEYS made in 1873 Of the
desert lying west of the Colorado
river, and extending into Mexico,
demonstrated fully that it was
cut off from the Gulf Of California
by the sediment deposited by the
Colorado river. The old shore
lines of the gulf are distinctly rec
ognizable away UP into San Ber-
nardino county, and great beds OF
oyster and other marine shells
attest the presence, at no very re-
mote day, of sea water at places
from which it is now $50 miles
distant. The Southern Pacific
railroad crosses this dried up part
of the gulf, running for over 60
miles at levels from. | to 240 feet
below that of the sea. The Colo
RADIO river has deposited sand and
mud along its course until its bed
is, in places, fully 400 feet higher
than it was in the old days, when
it emptied into the gulf at least
100 miles nearer Yuma than it
does now. 1t continued to pile up
sediment until a dam was formed,
reaching across the gulf to the
Lower California shore. The head
of the gulf thus became a lake of
salt water, and being fed by no
streams, gradually dried up. This
dam now averages only a height
of 81 feet above mean high tides.
The Colorado now flows to the
South of it. but some trifing
change of its currents may yet
cause it to cut away the dam to
the North, and to reconvert the
desert into a lake. This does not
seem as impossible as that the
river should abandon its old bed,
north of Fort Yuma, and force its
way through rocky hill; yet we
all can see that the latter has act
nally occurred.

ARIZONA now offers no easier
method of travel than that by
steamboat on the Colorado river.
Travellers on this route escape
dust, hunger and thirst. Fellow
travellers keep good natured and
join in conversation and enter
tainment. Cool state rooms, agree
able officers, and plenty to eat at
regular hours, all combine to make
the trip pleasant.

tons comport with the vindication
and majesty Of the law. The com.
plaint was made out by Pruss, against
Mr.. Wood and others, charging them
with arson, riot and trespass, on the
3rd of December. A few days there.
after, Smith wrote Mr.. Wood, setting
forth the crimes charged, saying he
thought he could convict on one or
all Of them, but that he would stay
further proceedings in consideration
Of the sum of 5000, and that the is
suing of warrant would be deferred
to await an answer. We read the
letter signed by Mr.. Smith, in his
own handwriting, and consequently
speak from direct knowledge. Here
was an open unblushing offer to CON-
pound or conceal crime; (supposing
the defendants to be guilty. and, If
brought before the District Court,
can hardly fail to deprive the at
torney of his right to practice at the
bar. AT any rate 1t IS conduct un-
becoming his profession, and shows
him to be an adventurer whose thirst
for gain gets the better Of his sense
of propriety. Being an attorney, he
could hardly plead ignorance of the
statutes.
The showing herein is made in
obedience to Mr.. Smiths own defiant
call for a more extensive account OF
the suit, and not from any desire to
persecute him. 1t might easily be
made more lengthy by showing
other points, among which is the
fact that the prosecuting attorney
for this district is the proper person
to attend to such business, therefore
Mr.. Smith was acting in the wrong
capacity by conducting the suit. We
were surprised TO read his published
letter supposing he would only have
been too glad to let the matter drop
without further notice.

WHEEL.BARRows.-When a per-
son is hurrying along sidewalk on
a dark night and meets wheel-bar-
row too suddenly to be graceful
about it, the first impulse is to con
ceal the fact from the world. Besides
encouraging deceit in this way,
wheel. .barrows are viciously prone to
reaching out after peoples shins.
Mark Twain says the most
uncertain thing about wheel-bar'
row is in knowing, after you start to
fall over one, when you are going to
get through. 1t will bark fellows
shins, pound his knees against any
stones that may he lying handy, jam
his elbow throught crack in the
fence (if there is one around) bruize
the Joints in his backbone out level,
to say nothing about removing sur
plus hide from his nose, and then set
itself up meekly to wait for the next
passer by. Even ladies are often
victimized. Only a few evenings
ago three of our fair sex had an en-
counter, but we think they "got
away" with the wheel-barrow, as
one jumped aboard and the other
two gave her a ride up street.
Wheel barrows are perhaps persecu-
ted most on account of being left so
frequently near the corners of streets,
as in this way about nine out of ten
men who may be travelling that way,
instead of passing peaceably by, Gao.
not forbear stopping to wrestle a
while with them. Experience, how
ever, doubtless toughens them be-
cause it has been demonstrated that
an old wheel-barrow will take care
of itself almost anywhere. Our on
" object in penning this brief ap-
peal in behalf Of wheel-barrows is
to warn the people Of Port Town
send that for the sake of humanity,
and to discourage the use OF profane
language, they ought to have secure
corrals, duly labelled dangerous"
in which to keep their wheel-bar-
rows when said articles are not in
active service.

He looked up at her In surprise.
"What does this mean. Jane?n

|
II thought you were hungry, and I
wanted to please you," was the ingenious
reply.
| He took the sandwiches with one hand,
! and drawing her toward him with the
other, kissed her tenderly.
''Why. Jane, we're growing young
again.
II wish We might grow good and low
ing,'' was her answer, as she returned the
kiss. t
| When he was gone Jane brushed up her
carpet quickly and cheerfully; and it did
not seem half so dirty as it did before,
though the mud was much deeper in the
streets. The boot-scraper was not forgot
ten again that day, and before night a
man appeared to put the stove in order.
| and Walker callee, to say he was sorry he
had disappointed Mrs. Lovett about the
drawers; he would have them done soon.
Jane kept herself good-natured and
cheerful the next day, and several other
days. although William often forgot that
his boots we're muddy when he came home,
and several times turned all the drawers
inside out to find what he had left at his
office; woke up the baby with his loud
sneezes; forgot half her commissions, i'm
portant as they were to her, and even de-
layed to order coal till one day there was
none with which to cook the dinner.
She schooled herself to patience. Some
times when a murmuring word was coming
she bit her lips and kept 1t back. Some
times she left the room to gather strength
and self control, but more often spoke of
something beside the subject of vexation
as quickly as possible.
At the end of a week Alboni's ''last con-
cert was again announced"
'NOw, Jane, We'll hear Alboni to-
night" said William at breakfast. ''She's
going to sing again perhaps on your ac-
count. Aou'll go, suppose?''
Eyes, thank you, but don't care much
about hearing: her. I'd almost as lief
stay at home with you.''
"Why, don't you think she sings as well
as Jenny Lind?"
mo, ] don't-do your"
Hardly; but you say Mrs. Linton does.
Well hear her, though, and see.''
When they were returning from the con-
cert that night Mr.. Lovett said to his

give Alboni credit for all. You've been

though one couldn't see distinctly for the
darkness. 81 really think we're growing
young again."

DID You EVER THINK OF THIs?-Here
is quiet description of what every wo-
man has been, or hopes to be-a bride:
She quits her home, her parents, her com.
panions her occupations, her amusements
everything on which she has hitherto de-
pended for comfort, for affection, for
kindness, for pleasure. The parents by
whose advice she has been guided, the sis
ter to whom she dared impart every en-
bryo thought and feeling, the brother who
has played with her by turns the counselor
and the counseled, and the younger chill
dren, to whom she has hitherto been the
mother and the playmate-all to be for
saken at one fell stroke; every tie is loos-
ened, the spring of every hope and action
is changed, and yet she flies with joy into
the untrodden path before her. Buoyed
up by the confidence of requited love, she
bids fond, grateful adieu to the life that
is passed, and turns with excited hopes
and joyous anticipations of happiness to
come. Then woe to the man who can
blight such fair hope, who can, coward
like, break the Illusions that won her, and
destroy the confidence love had inspired.

LIVING Too FAsT.-Men are living too
fast. Idleness and indulgence have be-
gotten pride and discomfort. The age is
thirsty for luxury. The very paupers of
our cities scorn the patched garments and
simple fare which once satisfied the we'll
TODD; the young clerk must live in house
as luxuriously furnished as his employers :,
though he steals to support his establish
meDt; the servants rival their mistresses
in the costliness and elaborateness of
their attire. though to do it they waste the
savings they may need to keep them from
want and ruin. The young couple who be-
gin home must have it as richly decora
ted as that of those who have labored for
years: and there is an utter unwillingness
on the part of too many to be content with
our standards Of judgment, and learn
to rate the people at what they are. and
not what they have. This is a money-wor-
shipping age; men of vicious principles,
through the clink of gold, summon hosts
of admirers, others are tolerated for the
baubles the mob scramble for; and still
others are permitted to occupy posts of
honor in church and state which they only
obtain by their wealth. Men live in the
fear of gold, and not of God; and seek the
honor of man, and not the honor that
cometh from above.
There should be return to more simple,
more honest ways Of living. It should be
deemed dishonorable to live beyond ones
means; no man should be encouraged to
spend few feverish years in luxury at the
risk of breaking down and making a dis
honorable ending.
