 The following letter of Secretary Schurz to Governor Fremont, tends to show that the Salt River Indian Reservation scheme, will not amount to much as Q permanent thing, but We all know that the injury done for the present IS of itself heavy enough, to make the measure anything but q creditable one to the government
 WAsHISsrov, FEB. !, 1879.
 Your dispatch to the President re- ceiyed. The executive order creat- ing a Reservation on Salt River, was originally intended only temporarily to give the Indians lands to cultivate while want of water prevented rais- ing of crops on their old reservation. The order sill not be construed to in- teyfer with rights acquired by white occupants and refers only to unoc- cupled public lands. The period of occupation Of lands on Salt River by Iudiahs will depend upon the res ervation and protection of water right of Indinns on the Gila, which depends on the whites. The Indians must be pellnitted to sustain tnem- selves somewhere. There is no ap- propriaton for ther support

 exonerate Miss Carpenter, and says, -.her only crime has been her love for nie. which is now her duty. We'll. well, doctor. we were foolish enough to think that the love of any ladv for another lady's husband, was a sufficient crime to make decent peo- pie ashamed to boast of 1t. But we ask the doctors pardon; he shows us that it is no crime, but a duty.

 Inder tho above caption, in the San Francisco Post of Feb. 9th, ap- i pee.rs a statement of the case of Mrs. Wm. r. Smith, which. if true or nearly so, shows how truly contenpta- ble Legislative bodies may become when managed by smart politicians and when following the precedent es- tablished by Gov. Stafford, and hls sulaservient legislature of 1873. The statement tends to show that Dr. Win. F. Smith, the husband ef the lady mentioned; is now in Arizona trying lbV the actlve aid of Hon. Thomas
 Fitch to get the legislature of thl:
 Territory to give him divorce iron
 bis wife, the lady mentioned, anC
 makes rather a bad case against u,
 silver tonguea orator his family and relatives. For the sake of hu manitg we hope 1t is not all truth | AS to the power ef our legislature t' . grant divorces we never had but ont
 opinion; and that Is that such as sumption of power by any legIslativl body m these United States IS un. t constitutional, and emphatically s'
 when the divorce is granted withou 8hearBg both parties. Since writing lthe above We are informed that Dr
 Smith, the would-be divorced, va
 here in Yuma on Saturday and Sun
 day, that the lady mentioned ip tin Post, Miss Carpenter, was here Wltl
 him, and that they got married ol Sunday morning, Dr. Smith having received notice from Prescott that thr bill granting him a divorce had beer ] signed by Gov. Fremont.
 h this connection We must stat that Mr. Fitch, iu tbe House of Rep. ; resentatiyes on the 10th. gave a
 positive disclaimer that he engineered
 the bill that divorced Dr. Smith, bu
 admits that he placed the name of j. J. Gosper, Secretary of the, Territo Irv. in the omnibus divorce bill. Mr
 Fitch also denies that 1.-two year:

The Danger Point in Petroleum.

A special committee of members of
the Produce Exchange attended yester-
day, at No. 1904 Pearl Street, to witness
some experiments with new machine
for testing the inflammahle or explosive
qualities of petroleum. Hitherto it has
been found that oils tested to a proper
standard of safety under the supervision
of inspectors here have, when exported.
been reported as dangerous, after being
subjected to tests abroad. This was
due largely to the fact that some men
applied piece of flaming paper, others
flaming match to the sample tested,
and while some of them swept the
flames as rule half an inch above the
surface of the oil, others might pass it
within an eighth of an inch above it, and
some might bring the flame into actual
contact with the oil surface. What was
mainly desired was to get regulated
method of applying test, and Mr..
Holly, of the firm of Lockwood Broth
ers & Holly, believes he has attained
it. BY his process, the poles of
galvanic battery are brought
within three-eighths of an inch of
the surface of the oil, which is meantime
being slowly heated by lamp placed
beneath a small retort. A thermometer
attached gives the temperature of the
oil, and at each degree of heat attained
above, say 80 degrees, discharge of
electricity is applied, the spark at last
producing an explosive flash in the gas
eous fumes rising on the surface of the
oil. These discharges are continued
with the rising temperature of the oil
until the flash extends into flame, and
the surface of the oil begins to burn. A
sample of oil used yesterday was mark
ed as flashing under the old test at 95
degrees. Under Mr.. Holly's electric
applications it flashed at 80, and he
stated that this test would always pro-
duce the flash on this sample of oil at q
variation of not more than two degrees
from that point. The sample flashed at
93, "a, 80, 104, 1913, 1l2 and ia, and
finally burned at 115. Subsequently
experiments made by gentlemen pres
ent produced substantially similar re-
suits. All that is claimed by Mr.. Holly
for the machine is that it secures uni
formily in the method by which the
standard of the oil is determined. -NeU

The Mississippi Valley Labor

There were fully 400 delegates present, every

brief speech he stated the object of the Con-
vention, which was for II better understand

Food.

The use of food by different persons
should be regulated in quantity or char
acter, or in both, according to their
ages, their health and occupations, the
seasons and the climate in which they
live. Milk is the only perfect food for
infants. It is the best food for children
and youth up to the age of 16. Old
people are weaker in their digestive
powers, partly because their whole sys-
TENS are weaker, and partly because
of their diminished muscular activity.
Their food should be less in quantity
than that used by younger persons, and of
easier digestion. In summer and in
warm climates less food by one-third is
needed, the tone of the system being
lowered, and persons thus being unable
either to digest or to assimilate as much
as in winter and in colder latitudes. So
also fat, sugar and starch-the latter in
cludes fine flour-being mainly heat
making elements, should be but little
used in summer and in tropical re-
gions, and largely used in winter and in
cold climates. Corn-bread, which con-
tains large per cent. of fat, is better
adapted for food in winter than in sum-
mer. Shoemakers, tailors and people
of sedentary habits generally need
less food, aud food that is more
easily digested, than the farmer and all
persons who work in the open air.
Still, every body should have enough
of active exercise to be able to digest
generous diet. A thinker needs a good
supply of brain food, such as is liberal
ly furnished in oatmeal; but he must
not use his brain at the expense of Wig
orous muscles, for it is muscles that
have to work not only the stomach, but
the lungs and heart. The sick, of
course, need food carefully adapted to
their particular condition, and those
who are not in full health may greatly
help themselves by rejecting whatever
they find injurious to them.-Yo~th's
Communion.

How Queen Victoria Receives
Her Mail.

Edmund Yates, writing in London
magazine, Time, says:
The train, which we may assume is
bound due north, and which contains
the royal messenger and his precious
freight of mail-boxes, has crossed the
border, and before it has arrived at
Perth day has broken over the Scotch
mountains. Balmoral is reached at last.
1t is sweet summer day, and the
Queen is seated in the tent on the lawn,
where she frequently breakfasts in the
warm weather, and remains for hours
by herself or with her ladies. The sort
ing of the contents of the colossal mail
bags will take upward of an hour, and
then Her Majesty will be informed that
all is ready. Many letters are left for
the royal hands to open. Thus, for
eign sovereign, or one of the Queens
children, or it may even be one of her
subjects whom she honors with her
friendship, has addressed an epistle to
Her Majesty, in the same way that
friends, acquaintance and connections
write to each other in ordinary life. But
even this communication only reaches
its proud destination by slightly cir
cuitous route. The autograph COM
munication of the Gar or Kaiser would
first go to the Russian or German En-
bassy in London, would then be sent to
the Foreign Office in Whitehall, and
would travel from the Foreign Office to
Balmoral in one of the above mention
ed boxes. In the same way will be
treated the letters of those members of
the roy al family who may from time to
time be abroad, or for the matter of
that at home. The Prince of Wales
may employ the penny post in writing
to an acquaintance. His Royal High
ness has resort to the State boxes when
he addresses his august mother, and the
letter is ususually inclosed under cover
to the Queens Secretary. There is not
one paper in these boxes which the
Queen will fail to examine. On many
she will ask for more information, on
some she will give definite opinions
which can not be confined within the
limits of a sheet of note paper.
