the refusal of the tenant farmers
to pay any, it must succeed. The

Comparative Honesty.

The percentage of loss on the
$1,000 in the receipts of the Gov
eminent during the two admin
istrations of George Washington
was $3.72. The officials in those
days appear to have been more
trustworthy IN disbursing than in
collecting the revenue. The loss
on $1,000 in paying out, for the
terms stated, was only SO cents.
The system Of collecting and dis
bursting in those years must have
been very crude and loose. The
percentages of loss went on in
crea sing until the term of Andrew
Jackson. The percentage Of loss
in receipts during his two terms
was $5.53, and in disbursements
$l031. The rule which prevailed
during the terms OF George
Washington seemed to have
been reversed. In the paying
out the heaviest stealing was
done. The Declarations in dis
bursting in Jackson's time were
exceeded by those under Martin
Van Buren's administration, when
they rose to s;21.15. It was under
this administration that Swart-
won't, a Governm ent defaulttr,
gave his name to particular
form of pecu!ation.
Under the administration oil
Mr.. Hayes, SO far, no money has
been lost by the Government,
either in collecting its revenue OF
paying out. Under Grant the
loss was 22c on the $1,000 in col
lecting and 2Ic in disbursing,
Under Andrew Johnson it was
63c in receipts and 48c on disEurse.
mentS. Under Lincoln it was 10C
on receipts and $1.41 on disburse-
ments. When he came into
Office most of the Southern Off
cials closed down on the money
on hand. This was the reason
that the stealing was larger in the
disbursements than in the c0llec
ton during his term. Probably
no set OF figures could exhibi
more clearly the relative morality
of the two great parties. Thej
correspond very' closely with gen
eral observation.

OF PIMA COUNTY.

FROM all parts of Yuma county
we are in receipt of the most
cheering news. The 'hoonn"
that va have SO long predi"fHd
iias q last set in, and SO thorough
" have the mines been prospect
ed and their permanency esta5-
lIshed, that we now have no fears
of any setback occurring, as most
mining districts experience in
their early days. We had the
pleasure of meeting Hon G. II.
Oury on his return from a visit to
Silver District, where he spent
several days, and examined a
large number of the prominent
mines in the immediate vicinity.
Mr.. Curry expressed himself in
very strong language in regard
to the immense advantages and
recources of that thriving camp.
No where on the Pacific Coast
had he seen such prospects as he
saw in the Red Cloud, Black
Rock, Iron Cap, Nellie Canyon
and several Others that he exam
ined. He predicted that these
mines would yet rank, as we
have 90 often asserted, anon <
the best in the country. From
Isawhide District we have re!ia'
bic information that nearly two
hundred ulen are at work, and al!
are doing well. A large number
of newly discovered mines have
been recorded from there, and
our informant believes that IN
three months fully Ave hundred
persons will BIZ on the ground. A
number of rich placers have beer
discovered, which are being pros
pected with gratifying success
In Plomoso District, as will bt
seen elsewhere, the Arizona Goa

Recording the Motion OF Trains.

It would be q curious catalogue
that would set forth the NUMBER
of inventions that have been APP
Piled to railroads, for railroads
have been the prolific mother of
a great many contrivances. and
have given Inventors thousands
of opportunities TO exert their
genius and ingenuity. The next

the Westinghouse air brakes and
the Miller bumpers to the little
catch that holds the window cur

to us could be made very useful
is called the "Wythe Speed Re.
| cOrder." It is named from its
inventor, who is said to have
made and lost several Ortunes in
inventions. X stock company
owns this patent. The machine
makes an indisputable record Of
the movements of a train, and
this record could be used in evil
dence in cases of collisions and
accidents. It is placed in the ca
bose. a gear to the axle moves
a roller, over which a paper,
marked in small! squares, runs.
A pencil is adjusted to this paper
and when the axle turns, the
paper is moved under its point
and receives mark. This pen
Gil has two movements, one
lengthwise of the paper. showing
distance, and a second crosswise
on the paper, showing time.
When the train is in motion the
pencil mark is diagonalIy across
the squares, and when at rest the
mark is up and down across the
squares. The instrument records
stops, backings and all motions OF
the train. It tells how often, he w
fast and how far every move i:
made, and in cases of disputed
evidence would do much toward:

There is lake on the Saw
Tooth Mountains, says the Yam
kee Fork Qdaho) Herald, that has
probably no equal in the United
States. 1t is about sixty or sixty
five miles from Bonanza, and at
an altitude of nearly 1900 feet.
The lake lies in a basin among
the sharp crag5 of the snowy Saw
Tooth, and is sheet of perpetual
Ice. It egas discovered in August
OF last year by a party of pros
peCtQrs, who named it Ice Lake.
The sun seemed to have 40 effect
upon it except in places adjoining
the shore. It is simply great
bowl in the hard mountain rock
brimful of solid ice, upon which
the rays of the sun descend with
no power to penetrate.

GonsSaI Grant Speaks IN Ohio.

The country is to be congratu-
lated ON the speech which Gen
erai Grant delivered to a Repuh-
lican mass meeting at Warren,
Ohio. It is a plain and vigorous
statement of the issues between
the contending parties, and cam
not fail to have a telling effect
upon the Presidential election.
Having recently visited all the
Confederate States. and having
had special opportunities for as
certainiug the prevalent lone OF
opinion among leading men in
them, his testimony is exceeding
IL valuable. Whist cOnlendIng
that the ballot is a farce in the
"solid So1th," General Grant
states that there is very strong
feeling of dissatisfaction with the
tactics of the dominant party.
If the Democracy is defeated this
time the deseriion from its ranks
will so weaken it in the South
that its destruction will become
inevitable. Men Of property and
intelligence in the Sonth per-
ceive clearly that their future
depends upon a closer union of
interests with the North, in the
spread of education, aud uphold
ing of the public credit. The
Democracy, as now organized, is
opposed to this policy, aud unhap'
PLY il is paramount in the South
by reason Of Its lawlees acts and
systemized terrorism. We are
satisfied that General Grant has
| taken Il corr ect view Of the poiit-
| ical field in the South, and that
his conclusion is a sound one,
The defeat of the Democratic
party this time means a breaking
up and dispersion of its forces.
Such intelligence and worth as
may belong to the party will be
glad of an excuse to get rid Of the
mot of unthinking and unreason'
ing men who form its voting
strength; trading politicians will
tire Of always fighting losing
battles; and The rank and file
deserted by the brains and re-
spectahiiity Of the organization
will be absorbed, according tC
the measure of their intelligence
in the Republican Or Greenbacl
organizations. The destruction
of the Democracy means the tri-
unph Of the national patty. TX
attain this end every effo, tshoule
be put forth By Republicans. Til;
field Of victory is in view. I
simply depends upon thense!ve'
whether they Will make it ar
overwhelming or doubtful one

The Dying Earth.

My friends, even our earth must die.
1t must go the way of all the earth and
other earths In the course Of twenty.
five more millions of years it must dead
head its way among the stars 1t must
dry up. The bottom Of the seas will
leak and the waters run out. Mars and
Venus seas are so leaking now. The
moon is dead all ready, poor thing, and
no one kind enough to bury her. When
you look on the face of the moon, you
look on the face of corpse, It's all
nonsense to talk of the moons rising or
setting, or getting up or setting down,
or the moons looking down on U.S."
1t does nothing OF the sort. It's dead
and can't look anywhere. And the earth
is dying In Is 100000 million years it
will be nothing but cold cinder. No
seas, no men, no women, no girls, no
boys, no children, no fashions, no news
papers, no politics, no revolutions, no
wars, no rumors of wars, no theaters, no
plays no critics, no nothing. All blank,
dry, dead, dull, dusty, deserted, doleful
and dreadful. The sun will get up every
morning for nothing. No lite st all, at
all. The animal, mineral and vegetable
Kingdoms all destroyed. The earth will
be deserted and dusty, hung with
mould, and hung with cobwebs. Rats
will burrow everyw here, and all sorts of
weeds will choke up our parks and gar
dens. Now, friends something should
be done before it is too late to raise
monument of our departing earth.
Some organization should be formed to
see it buried decently and provide
for the payment of the funeral ex penses.
