THE LOST TRIBES OF IsRAEL-
West of the Sea of Urmia, among the
mountains, dwells the small remnant that
still speaks Aramaan. While travelling In
this region Prfessor Sachau heard of some
valleys inhabited by Jews. After some diff;
fculty he succeeded In visiting them. He
found a people speaking the Turkish tongue,
but retaining the Jewish religion. They
had a tradition that they belonged to the
ten tribes of Israel and that they had been
brought thither by the Assyrians. There
seems no reason to doubt the truth Of their
tradition. The [sraelites in Nineveh and in
the cities Of the Modes naturally were lost
in the population about them but these
Israelites, so desolated among the mountain
valleys, would just as naturally have pre-
served their identity in the same way chat
the Aramaans have preserved their Ian
guage. Hebrews they certainly are. They
could not have come out of Babylon unless
a body of commercial Jews suffered an i'm
possible metamorphosis into agricultural
1sraelites. Unless you derive them from
the ten tribes OF Israel they remain unex
planned.
1t is a pity that Professor Sachau, not be
ing an Old Testament scholar, DID not III
terest himself as to the Hebrew text they
use nor as to any diyergency Of rites or GER
emonies from those now in use among the
Jews. 1t is, of course, probable that they
came under the influence OF the Ubiquitous
mercantile Jews accepted their texts, and
were rabbinized; but it IL, nevertheless, pos
sitIe that a search among them might be
richly rewarded
1t is interesting 10 trace the fate Of the
different tribes. 4 part Of Simeon was ab-
sorbed in Judah. 4 part, as we learn from
/. Chronicles, w, ~. migrated to Mount
SER, and ultimately were lost among the
Arabs. The Rechabites seem to have taken
the Same direction, namely, toward Arabia.
Reuben appears to have lost itself in Moab
Cad and the half tribe Of Manasseh were ab-
sorbed in other peoples. OF Ephrailn, prob
ably Issachar aud the other half Of Man

Saigun the poorer classes, with settlers

WOMEN As HARvEsTERs. = Mr.. Bret

abroad work in the fields, he thanks Heaven
he lives in a Republic where there are men
enough to do that sort of labor. On which
the Chicago Ne,cs says: He is right as TO
the suficiency OF men, but wrong as to the
supposition that they relieve the women. Ii
Harte could make a circuit of this clty

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, Of Boston, a first
rate authority, contributes to a late mum
Der of the Planters ,Journot Of Vicksbure,
Miss. some very interesting ~factsin respect
to the cotton crop Of the present year. He
says Northern men do not begin to appre-
state the magnitude of the wealth to be
reaped from cotton culture in this country.
He estimates the present crop to exceed
6 1000, 5000 bales, or - per cent. more than
any crop made il slavery times. That
amount, he says, will produce 5000, 600
tons of cotton seed (be.Ides the seed for
paintings, which will yield 80, 900, 900 gal
ions of oil, 1900, 900 tons Of cotton seed
cake, and I,500, 600 tons of bulls suitable for
making paper. Each ton of oil seed meal
he thinks will keep five sheep six months
and thus the cotton seed meal Will support
millions o. sheep, and return to the land
the fertilizer need TO grow more cotton.
He estimates further, that the present cot
ton acreage Of the South covers less than ,
per cent. of the cotton growing area Of the
United States.

A friend from Stafford gave us a lit tie chat on the general condition of affairs in that section, and we were led to conclude that said condition IS good enough. A great deal Of work has been done in the way of blowing and sowing and all expect excellent crops Harvesting machines and improved farming implements are being gener- al ly introduced m the valley and work will be done tO the best advantage.
 The Mormon settlement eight miles below SafIOrd, numbers about fifty souls, under the kindly supervision of J. K. Rodgers, president, and W. R Peoples, business manager. They have taken up about 6OO or S1O acres of land and already have out a small ditch, which will answer present pur- poses. It is their intention at once to take out a fitteen-fOot ditch, which they will be obliged 10 run elght or nine miles. This settlement will great ly bentit the valley, as the land they have taken up would hardly have been reclaimed by other individuals. They are industrious, law-abiding citizens and pay as they go.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: The snow fall a Maricopa is estimated at from ten to twelve inches. Snow is something that this part of the Territory ha never, or hot to the knowledge Of man before been blessed with. The Indian. Say that they have seen snow. Au' nos at Maricopa. The storm seemed to come up from toward San Diego, rain ing and showing in places where II was never known to before. There was not much rainfall, and fortunately the snow stopped the flow of water and luckily saved the railroad track. I saw at the depot at MaricOpa TWO large snow lhen, probably the larges' and heaviest masses of snow and ice ever rolled up by man in this Terri tory. I vill say that l am not a very old resident of this country; pardon me if 1 misrepreSent anything; 1 am endeavoring to make statement "i facts.
 MaricOpa is looked forward to be one of the principal and most thriY- ing towns of the Territory. The north ern part of the Territory is orening up, many new mines being discovered, and shortly a great deal of ore will be shipped from Maricopa. The railroad has made great reduction in the ore tariff from Maricopa io San Francisco

A correspondent writing from Mag. atlan under date of January l5 10 the San Francisco Bulletin has the follow Ing railroad news: IL is probable that the people of California, and else where, are now pretty well satisfied as 10 the probabilities of speedy con- strnction of railroad through the State of Sonora with terminus at the port ot Guaymas, and have some authentic information cOnfirmatory Oi the same which may be interesting to your readers
 The company has been organized under the name of the Sonora Rail way Company, with E. P. Cheney. President; Levi Wade, Vice President Robert SymOn, second Nlce President, and G. L. Goodwin, Secretary and Treasurer. One or both of the two tirst-named gentlemen and four other members of the Board of Directors are also Directors of the AtchiSon, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The Blar contract being forfeited was Transferred to the AtchiSon, Topeka and Santa Fe Company, and hence the origin of the Sonora Railway Com pany. Said company have asked for some notifications of the Blair con tract-One of which is a money sub sidy instead of lands-and the NIce President and secord Vice President have been to the City of Mexico dur ing the past session of Congress on said business. By the interruption or the mails from the Cily of Mexico lo this place caused by "prenuHciai0res'' in the vicinity of Topic, we are with out news from there since some day previous to the period when the MeXi- can Congress was tO adjourn, and con sequently it Is not known here what was done with tie notifications sOlic- ited by the company. Gov. Torres, of Sonora, who left the City of Mexico eight days before the expected adjourn ment of Congress, and who was also working in the interest of the Sonora Railway Company, stated upon his arrival here on the 24th ultImO, via Acapulco, that President D az and his Cabinet had authorized the company 10 20 on with the work, and that they would see that everything was made satisfactory at the next ccssion of Cen grcss if not accomplished at the one then abont 10 expire. 1 learn from a very reliable source that the company intend 10 commence the construction of the road at once, and Gov. Torres stated to the same effect. There now seems to be no possible obstacle in the way, except perhaps the high price of railroad iron at the present time.

The editor of the Phenix Expositor has visited the mires at Mineral Hill, just above Florence, and we clip the following from correspondence to hls paper:
 The number of men in the district is about fourteen, and the amount of ore already extra ted is about 150 tons, Of which Cavaness & Co. have nearly 100. 1 have no knowledge of the as say value Of the ore, but NIT. Henry, who is largely interested in this dis trict, assures me that assays go all the way from $23 to $1O0, not to speak of specimens that assay high up into the thousands. From my own experience I would say that the ore and ledges in this district are CT ;he same character and fully as rich as the Red Cloud, Black Rock and Pacific in Silver Dis trict, Yuma county, and in size of ledge, abundance of ore and indica- tions of permanency. far above any thing else have seen in that District or any other.
