 FLORENCE, AT, May l9, 1881.
 Mr. -: Dear Sir-1he work or the day IS done aud an in my cosy little adobe, made Of mud and straw, principally mud, the floor psrtIcu- larly so, being without straw, boards or carpet; yet We, Wbitnore and my self, have the best room of the Silver King House. 1 have it all 10 myself tonight, as MT. Whitmore is at Tue son on Q visit for q few days. The land office is 10 be removed 10 Tucson, and will be closed here on the S0th oi June and opened for business at Tue son July 12th, so sll letters addressed 10 MT Whilmore and the writer after June 3Olh will be Tucson, Arizona Territory.
 Well, what l was going to say, 1 am here in sole possession of this room, with three cots in 1t. Every one here sleeps in cots, so they can take them on their backs and go out into the streets or back yards at night and sleep in the open air, and in the morning pack them into the adobe again. So much for the cool nights here. But l won say anything more on that subject, as l do not want the impression to get abroad that this Is a hot climate. My business is selling land here, and want 10 make large sales-sell out and go into some other trade. If 1 owned the Silver King l would not cell smother foot Of land keep it all for the d-n Indians, iasten them in, and go to work to get money to keep up their annuities, for the poor devils would need as well as deserve it. Do not understand the last re- mark 10 reflect on the climate or soil of this Territory; l only meant to say they are poor and ought to be taken care of. As we took the land from Mexico we ought to pay the Indians for it; it belongs tO them as much as Dakota, IdGIo and Washington Ter rIlOrie. belong Co Sitting Bull. l said they were poor, still l have seen the sauaws around, not in sesl-skin sacoues, but in bare skins, or so nearly so She expression needs no qualification. Again, you will say, s0 much fC. tL= hot climate. Not soi the poor thing would wear tbree oyercoals and ten shawls the hottest day il they had them to wear. IL Is stern necessity, you want 10 remem- Der, that gives them 90 naked an ap- pearance as they pass you. But really, it makes one feel bad 10 hear the poor little children crying for hunger. Why did God give them an existence' I only ask the questionable not in- tend you 10 answer it.

An Inidel on Food.

From Bob Ingersoils Last LecIure.l
 Lent Is just as good as any other part of the year, and no part can be too good to do good. IL was not a part Q! my object 10 hurt the feelings ! oi EpisCOpulians and Catholics. II
 they think that there Is some subtitle
 relation between hunger and heaven, | or that faith depends upon and is strengthened by famine, or that veal during Lent is the enemy ot virtue,
 or that beef breeds bias sphemy, while nsh feeds faith-of course all this is nOthIn. 10 me. They have d right lo say that vice depends on yictuals, Canclity on soup, religion on rice and chastity on cheese, but they have 10 ight 10 say that a lecture on liberty
 Is an insult 10 them because they are hungry. l suppose that Lent was in-
 stltuted In memory of the SaYior's last. At enc time 1t was supposed
 that only a divine being could live forty days without food. This SUD-
 position has been oyerthro6n. It has
 been den opstrated by Dr. Tanner 10
 De utterly without foundation. What possible good did IL do ihe world for
 Christ 10 go without food for forty
 Csys? Why should We follow such an example? As 6 rule. ku1gIy pec-
 pie are cross, contrary, obstinate, peevish and unpleasant. A good din-
 ner puts a man al peace win all ,he
 world-makes him generous, good
 nalured and happy. 9e feels like
 Kissing hIs wife and children. The future looks bright. He wants 10
 help the needy. Tre G0od in him prsdomiuateg. and Le wonders that any man was ever stiagy and cruel. Your gocd cook is cIviliLer, and without food, well prepared, intellec- Jusl progress is simply impossible. Most of the orthodox creeds were born of bad cooking, Bad food pro- duces dyspepsias and dyspepsia pro- duced Cs.vini.m, and CalYiuism is tue cancer Of Christianity, Oatmeal is responsible for the worsI features of SCuth PresbyterianiSm. Half CuOked beans account for Ihe religion of lhe Purilaps Fried bacon aud saltrLtus biscuit un6erlie the doct inc Uf State Rights. Lent is mistake, fasting is a blundsr snd baa cooking is crime.

DECORATION DAY.

By law and custom the Both day o May has been set apart as sn occasiur on which 70 decorate with flowers ihC ! graves of soldiers who fell iu battle or died of disease in the late war, ol who have since died The custom it 6 beautiful one. and ceryes 10 perpet- uate the memory cf those whose lives were sacrifice 10 their coun;ry's de. nands in the hour of its greatest peril.
 Throughout ;he whole country to- day the fora! tributes 10 the silent sentinels are being placed upon their resting places by the hands of loving comrades, and in performing this ss- cred task the veterans thoughts revert 10 the scenes of the field and bIycuac, the weary march and the happy camp. The old battle scenes recur 10 Lls memory when he whose grave is for this day made bloom was in the full vigor of strong manhood, yielding his swoid in defence of his country.
 To veteran of the late war the thoughts that crowd upon him today are full Of 8 peculiar and tender sad ness lie kneeis at the tomb of tue fallen cOmrsde aud amid the memor- ies of the dangers the fortunes of war surrounded him in times past, sadly draws $ mental picture of ,he time when bis own grave shall ike wise be remembered upon future an- niversaries of this day. and hls name IS gone out from the recollection Oi the busy world atoye him, save the legend upon the tablet that marks his resting place.
 It is to be regretted that the day is not observed in Tucson. TLe dust of many soldier who wore the blue or gray is deposited in the cemetery, d. most or quite forgotten by all save the faithful hearts in some distant home who are to-day rendering the annual tribute to stranger dead, with tender thoughts of the dear once under the bleak, bansn soil of Arizona.

 Section 2 of the act of January 22, 1880. is as follows: That section 1924 of the Revised Statutes of the United States be amended by adding the io.-owing words. Provided that the period within which the work required to be done annually on all unpatented mineral claims shall com mence on the lst day of January succeed ing the day of location cf such claim, and this section shall apply to all claims located since the 10th day of May, AnnO Domini 1872
 The act of May 1O 1872 section 2324. Revised Statutesl provided that "On each claim located after the 10th day of May, 1872 aHd until patent has been issued therefor, not less than SlOO worth of labor shall be performed, or Improvements made, durin-; each year.
 Under sa;i section 232f, sad annual im- provements were due within each year, commencing with the date of location.
 Upon claims located prior to May 10 1872, the hr-t annual expenditures due by January 1, 1875, and annually th ,a after hei
 The purpose of the amendment of Janu9 ary 24, 1880, was Co secure an uniform De- riod within which the annual expenditures should be required on all locations.
 In said amend2tory act such period is made c. commence on the lst day of Jan. uary succeeding the date of location of such claim.
 It therefore follows that a claim located October l, 1879, requires the expenditure of SlO0 worth of labor or improvements thereon within the calendar year 1880, and that whatever may have been expended during 1879 will not answer the require meuts of expenditures in 1880.
 4 clam located on any date subsequent to the lst day of January. 1879, requires no further expenditure during the remain der of that year than Is made necessary by local laws
