That Lottery Scheme.
From Yirglnia Enterprise.


 We are astounded that the lottery scheme now before the Legislature should have passed the Assembly. The bill is in direct aud fragrant violation of the Constitution IL gives 10 the Nev- ada Building Association the privilege of giving five gift entertainments in Nevada, the State to receive ten per cent. of the net proceeds. The time, place anG character of these entertain menls are not mentioned ia the bill, and should it become q law, there would be nothing except decision of the Supreme Court to prevent the As sociatian from putting on foot series of gigantic lottery sWindles in the very teeth of a plain constitutional inlerdic- ton. Such Legislation as this is sim ply outrageous--all tEe more so since it must have been known to the mem bers who voted for the bill that the scheme was concOcted by party of unscrupulous shsrpers for their indi- vidual benefit.
 Surely the Enterprise could not have been so mean as to in any manner refer, in the above, to the " Arizona Develop ment Company"

The Safeguard.

A baby crept 10 his fathers knee, And was lifted up and lulled to rest, Till the blue eyes closed, so tired was he, And his little head fell peacefully At ease on the ready shoulder there While the baby hand so soft and fair, Lay like a shield on his fathers breast. or old twas said that when men drew
 near,
 To fierce temptation or deadly strife, And lost their way in a maze of fear, Or periled their souls for worldly gear, By way unknown an angel hand Would lead them out of the dangerous
 land
 Into the light Of noble life. The story is true for the world to-day; We See no white-robed angels mild; But out Of the dark and perilous way Where men and women forget 10 pray, Into the peace of a purer land They are led by gentle, shielding hand The hand of a little, helpless child.

Tombstone Mines.
Says the Stock Report:

Ddys tue OtOCk hepOTI:
 A letter has been received by Ruby Hill miner, from Tombstone District, Arizona, from which we have been kindly permitted to make the follow ing extract:
 l am at last in a land of sunshine where winters storms never howl. AL though here but six days have seen enough of the mines to be convinced that II is one of the best camps on the American continent. BOdie is but an infant compared to what this camp will be one year from today. The ores are quartz and gray carbonate, about one half milling, the balance smelling. The ore is of high grade, and experts pronounce it worth S200 per ton.
 If this camp was located in Nevada there would be 10000 people here, but capital and population seems to avoid this Territory.
 THE wire with which Minnesota farmers have lately bound their grain has troubled the millers considerably Particles of it were apt to get into the wheat, to the injury of the mill-stones and boltlng-cloths. They were also liable to strike out sparks in grinding, which might fire the -four dust and destroy the whole mlll The evil has grown SD serious that millers' cOnven- .ti0ns have condemned the wire for binding, and there has even been talk of refusing to buy the grain of farmers who use 1t unless at lower price An ingenious miller has finally put an end to the whole trouble by a de- vice he does not take the trouble to patent. Gangs of horseshoe magnets are placed on lhe spout through which the wheat passes. which pick up even the smallest particle of the wire.

4 CIRCULAR is out from the office of the General Passenger Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, inviting al tention to an excursIon over the Southern Pacific lines, from San Fran cisco and other California points, to Maricopa. The time is not fixed, but ii will be, as soon as the date of con- pletion or the road to Maricopa shall be certainly known. The rates for the round trip are little less than half the usual rates, and sleeping car accommo datious are added free of charge. 4 dining car will accompany the train ; and an auction sale of lots in the new railroad town will afford amusement 10 the excursionists.

THE telegraphic news from Wash ington Saturday informs us that the bill to permit the Southern Pacific to maintain bridge across the Colorado at Yuma, and to extend its line to El Paso, failed to pass the ordeal of Con gress. The next thing we shall hear will be that the Continental Congress has refused to allow the Pilgrim Fath- CTS to land at Plymouth Rock; which would be very dreadful. But all the same we hope soon to ride over that un-permitted road and bridge, and in due time Congressmen may acquire some necessary information in regard to matters in this region.

GEN. ROssER, chiet engineer of the Northern Pacific Railroad, has taken advantage of the thick ice on the Mis- souri rlver to lay railroad track across, over which he is transporting the heavy material which will be need ed in the Spring for the hundred miles of new roadway which the com pany has made arrangements to build during the coming season. It was doubted whether the ice would bear the enormous loads, but the expert ment is perfectly successful.

Rev. VIM. T. Chase has received and &C
cepted an invitation from the Baptist

its pastor. Mr.. Chase has been in pastoral
charge of the Bates street church in this
city for five years, and by his untiring and
faithful efforts in the path of christian du-
ty has endeared himself, not only among
the members of that society but to the
hosts of friends he possesses throughout
the CITY, His labors of activity have been
continuous, with only a few days of rest
and have been fruitful of glowing results.
Under his ministration over 200 have been
added to the church membership, and
very heavy burden of debt has been lifted.
In fact the church has been built up to the
highest standard attained as yet by any
Baptist church in Maine. Mr.. Chase
finds himself, after the severe struggle of
five years, in delicate health, which de-
mands a relaxation from hard work. He
goes to much easier pastorate, with large
ly increased salary, and before commencing
will take long vacation.

BOURBON BALLADS.

Because the Republicans are in favor of
enforcing Federal law, and thereby prevent
ing frauds at Federal elections, Senator Hill
declared in Tammany Hall on the Fourth
that THE Democratic party affirms that the
people of this country are capable of self
government. The Republican party affirms
that the people of this country are not capa-
bic of self-goyernment" Now let the Con
federate Senator deny if he dare that he was
hailed on his way home from the meeting
that night by Tammany brave holding up
lamppost, who thus addressed him:

which is extremely doubtful commenced OPP
erations by throwing pebbles at the windows
which is rather novel proceeding for the
craftsman. Mr.. Roberts became alarmed and
summoned the police, one of whom pursued
the villain but did not capture him. 1t is said
that Mr. Roberts has prime revolver which
he does not hesitate to fire at any hour of the
day or night upon the slightest alarm.

The Hay Crop in Maine.

The farmers of Maine have reason to feel
thankful for the favorable season which has
ensured an abundant hay crop. The hay
crop is the important crop of the Maine farm.
1t is more important than any other crop.
yes, more important than all other crops.
The value of the hay crop of the State of
Maine in 1877 is given by the report of the
United States Department of Agriculture as
amounting to $14, 225, 900. The next in i'm
portance. the potato crop, is given as So, 220,
600; corn, 81, 800. 400; wheat, $3.50, 900: oats.
400; barley, $494, 900; rye, $37, 900 and buck
wheat 1926, 600, making a total Of Sc, 1915
800, or less than half the value of the hay
crop. The fact that the value of the hay
crop is more than twice that of all the other
principal field crops shows how important
the crop is and indicates what all obligation
OF thandulness the farmers are placed I'M
der by this favorable season.
The abundant rains which have fallen
during June have assured an abundance of
hay. During May the weather was dry,
and bad not the rains come freely in June
there would have been very light crop of
hay. The amount of rainfall in June usu-
ally determines the fate of the grass crop.
However wet the weather may be in Nav,
yet if a dry June follows, the grass crop
will be injuriously affected thereby and a
light crop result. 1t is at the time that
grass is approaching the poisoning stage
and growing rapidly that moisture in the
soil is most needed, and this year it was
then that the want was supplied.
The early part of the season was some
what unfavOrable for corn and caueed con-
siderable Encouragement to many farmers,
but the hot weather of July will bring for
ward the corn crop rapidly and good result
may yet be obtained. Potatoes are looking
well, although somewhat backward.
Wheat is doing well and other crops prom
Use well. With good average condition of
most of the farm crops and somewhat above
an average condition of the hay crops the
farmers have substantial reasons for en-
couragement and thanlfulness.-
