Value of aIesquit Grass.

We clip the following from an article in the Spirit ot A1kansGs, comparing tie value of different grasses:
 In the writer's opinion, this is one of the most valuable grasses in the South, par ticularly for summer pasture. He has seen it in midsummer In Senator Clayton's yard in Little Rock, winch is situated on shaley ridge with little or no soil, where it was beautifully green, and growing luxuriantly. Col. Benjamin, former re- sident of Cortland county, New York which is the very heart of the butter and cheese district, remarked after examining the grass at the same place, that he should consider every acre of land in Ar kansas, that was well set in mesquit grass, worth S100 per acre for stock purpo ;es, and that 1t would pay large interest on that amount I can do no better tl a1 to give a statement of James Lewis, of Kama 
 sufficient rresquit grass from Texas to set an acre of hlll land on my farm at Grotto Dell; on comparing it with the Kentucky blue grass, orchard grass, clover and timothy, as cultivated on the same farm, l am inclined to rank it the most valuable of them all. It stands the climate, com pletely covering the ground, and spring ing up soon after cutting; being less affected by drouth than the other grasses. It makes light hay however, but is greedily devoured by cattle. Last fall sowed ten acres more of this grass, and consider it a most important acquisition
 West Texas. New Mexico and Arizona is the native home of this very valuable grass which Col. Benjamin considers would make land worth S100 per acre for pasture purposes.

THE Precocious Child who conducts the Dos Republicas," the Spanish Parochial schoolboys' dear little organ, of Tucson, has been chided very inconsiderately by the Prescott papers, for showing temper at tie President of the Council. They seem to expect as much from him as they would from man. As soon as he gets too old for sugar-tits and drool he will quit being cross, and making faces. The President of the Council would only subscribe for three copies of the Dos Repub- hcaS.

raiders were about twenty in number. After
they had ridden into the town several Of them

OF the public square. where both barrels OF
shotgun loaded with buckshot were discharged
into window Of the Sentinel of1lce. The party
then moved deliberately by the residences OF

The two parties joined near Summers's house,
where they rcm0unted Then they gallOpped
or on the West Fork road
There Is no doubt the party whs composed OF
men who. week or more before, threatened
the town In revenge for the death OF the ruihan
Reed. who was killed at the Jail. The state
Guards. after the pacific resolutions OF tho citi-
2rns' meeting held by Reeds friends. had dis
banded. and the sudden attack in tho dark
found the city defenceless, and hence II was I'M
checked. Fortunately no one WIS hurt Alter
the ruftlans' departure number OF citizens
armed and patroled ths town until daylight.
The man Reed and the mob that created this
disturbance are OF "A reckless class. who have
been the terror Of law-abiding citi2ns since the
early days OF the war. Reed had killed several
men. aud had frequently ridden into town with
his gang harnssIng and annoying It's inhnb-
