Gen. Wilcox and.Hi. Movements.

Whenever occasion called for 1t We hay, not becn backward in speaking the truth o Safford, Hoyt, Fremont and others, ana when we thought that we percieved in Gen. WillcoI & disposition to lean toward oui beloved brethern of Pima county (Tucson, we were outspoken. We don't care a con tineutal about personal ends, so far as the MINER is concerned and i'll this particular we're independent.
 A short time since the Indian scouts st- tempted the annihilation of Gen. Cars com mand and had the " hite Mountain Indian, as allies to their devilish designs. News came to General Wilcox and he immediate ly went forth and placed his remnant of an army in such position that harm from the Indians could not be very great, at once demonstrating to the people of Arizona and the whole United States that he was Gen eral able to command and fully protect the people sf an isolated territory.
 Had it not been for the energy displayed, the wise course pursued and determined stand of Gen. Wilcox, in the hour of peril and great danger, Arizona would certainly have been plunged, to-day, in deep and blood for blood war. It has been averted, and to the General belongs the credit. He will be held in dear remembrance by our people for his quick and wise policy in the premises The MINER accords to him all praise.

Lose BRANCH, Sept. 20.-Mrs. Garfield bore the trying ordeal with great fortitude and exhibited unprecedented control of her feelings. She gave wsy to no paroxisms of grief and after death became evident she quickly withdrew to her room and there sat heart-stricksn widow full of grief but with too much courage to exhibit it about her. Miss Mollie was greatly affected, and bursts of tears flowed from the childs eyes, net withstanding her noble effort to follow the example of her mother. The death scene vas one never to be forgotten. Perfect quiet prevailed, and there was not a murmur heard while the President was sinking.
 After death had been pronounced and the body vas properly arranged by Dr. Boynton tslsgrams were immediately sent to the Presidents mother in Ohio, and his sons Harry and James, who are at Williams col legs, and also to the Vice President and other public men.
 New York, Sept. 20.-The Evening Post Long Branch special says this has been re- ceived by Mrs. Garfield: "Words cannot ex- press the deep sympathy l feel with you. May God bless and comfort you as hs alone can. (Signed.)
 Queen, Balmoral.

Speculation About the Cabinet.

Many are the predictions and opinions advanced by the people in regard to the Presidents Cabinet. It is generally oon- coded that Mir. Arthur will make no changes for the present, but on the other hand it is thought that Blaine and ono or two others will resign immediately upon the burial of the late lamentsd Garfield. Should they conclude to walk out it is thought that Arthur will not accept their resignations, and that they may be induced to keep on in their respective positions. In no case would it look well for Arthur to appoint Conkling in the place of Blaine. That Mir. Conkling will rie'd powerful influence over the new President there can not be the slightest doubt, but he will be careful in the manner he makes his demands or advance, his ideas. The nation was satisfied with Gsr6eld's Cabinet, and would much prefer to see it kept just the same as he chose to make it. Mir. Arthur is, of course, man of education and clear understanding, and will avoid making enemies in the beginning

INDIAN WAR ENDED.

Thanks to General Wilcox and all of his officers and men, the Indian outbreak is nippsd in the bud. All the Indians have surrendered and will be tried for their various crimes. Now let them be dissrmed and put under the Military. Our information comes from Col. Benja- min, Adjutant General of the Depart ment, therefore is perfectly reliable. This is certainly cheering news in the face of false dispatches, which are being sent out by ambitious pot-hook politicians.

Ventilation of Orchards.

There is one requirement with fruit trees
that we do not sufficiently consider. The
benefit of sun and air in securing good fruit
Is well understood. What we want is to adj
nit sun and air to produce wood rs well, not
only in connection with the fruit, but in the
early year of growth, indeed throughout its
entire life, in order to secure n healthy growth
which cannot be done if the branches are left
close so as to harbor humidity. Besides, by
giving dstinctness and form to each branch
the beauty of the tree is enhanced. A
young tree, while in its non bearing stage,
may thus be made an ornament and this can
be maintained as the growth advances, while
new beauty is added in blossom and fruit
Thus we get the aesthetic united with the best
condition for fruit This is aided by thumb
and finger work, begun with the birth ofthe
tree, arrcsting too ambitious shoots by pinch.

Webster's Case.

~ will repeat an ancedote which feel sure
that Webster gave at that dinner, though,
as made no note of it, it is just possible that
he told it in my presence at some later date
The conversation was running upon the
Importance of doing small things thoroughly
and with the full measure of ones ability
This Webster illustrated by an account of
some petty insurance case that was brought
to him when young lawyer in Portsmouth
Only small amount was involved and o
twenty.dolar fee was promised. He saw
that, to do his clients full justice, journey
to Boston, to consult the law library, would
be desirable. He would be out of pocket by
such an expedition, and for his time he would
receive no adequate compensation. After a
little hesitation, he determined to do his very
best, cost what it might. He accordingly
went to Boston, looked up the authorities,
and gained the case. Years after this, Web
ster, then famous, was passing through New
York. An important insurance case was to be
tried the day after his arrival, and one ofthe
counsel had been suddenly taken ILL., Money
was no object, and Webster was begged to
name his terms and conduct the case. 81 told
them," said Mr.. Webster "that it was pre-
posterous to expect me to prepare legal
argument at few hours notice. They in
sisted, however, that should look at the pa
pers and this, after some demur, consent
cd to do. Well, it was my old twenty-dollar
case over again, and, as never forget any
thing, l had the authorities at my fingers
ends. The court knew that had no time to
prepare, and were astonished at the range
of my requirements Soyou see, was hand
somely paid both in fame and money for that
journey to Boston and the moral is that
good work is rewarded in the end, though,
to be sure, ones own self approval should be
enough"

A Thorough Job.

Judge M, q well known jurist living
near Cincinnati was fond of relating this
anecdote: He had once occasion to send to
the village for carpenter, and sturdy
young fellow appeared with his tools.
81 want this fence mended to keep out the
cattle. There are some unpaned boards
use them. 1t is out of sight from the house
so you need not take time TO make it a neat
job. l will only pay you dollar and a half"
The judge went to dinner and, coming out,
found the man carefully planning each board.
Surprising that he was trying to make a
costly job of it, he ordered him to nail them
his walk, When he returned the boards were
paned and numbered ready for mailing.
II told you this fence was to be covered
with vines" he said, angrily Il do not care
how it looks"
81 do" said the carpenter, grutfiy, carefully
measuring his work. When it is finished
there was no part of the fence as thorough in
finish.
Glow much do you CHARGE" asked the
Judge.
"a dollar and half" said the man
shoudering his tools.
The Judge started. "Why did you spend
all that labor on the job, if not for money P"
"For the job, sir"
"Nobody would have seen the poor work
on it,"
but l should have known it was there
No; I'll take only the dollar and hail.
And he took it and went away.
Ten years afterwards, the Judge had the
contract to give for the building of certain
magnificent public buildings. There were
many applicants among master builders,
but the face of one caught his eye.
ut was my man of the fence" he said
81 knew we should have only good, genuine
work from him. gave him the contract and
it made rich man of him."
1t is a pity that boys were not taught in
their earliest years that the highest success
belongs only to the man, be lie carpenter,
farmer, author or artist, whose work is most
sincerely and thoroughly DONE Youths Com

TObaCcO-A Parable

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be lken-
ed to grain of tobacco seed; which, though
exceedingly small being cast into the ground,
grew, and became great plant, and spread
its leaves rank and broad so that huge and
vile worms formed Il habitation thereon
And it came to pass, in the course of time,
that the sons of man looked upon it, and
thought it beautiful to look upon, and much
to be desired to make lads look big and manly
So they put forth their hands and did chew
thereof. And some it made sick, and others
to vomit most filthy. And it farther came
to pass that those who chewed it became
week and unmanly, and said we are enslaved
and can't cease from chewing it. And the
mouths of all that were enslaved became foul !;
and they were seized with violent splitting :;
and they did spit, even in ladies' parlors, and
in the house ofthe Lord of Hosts And the
saints of the Most High were greatly plagued
thereby And in the course of time it came
also to pass that Others snutfed it; and they
were taken suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze, with great mighty sneeze, insomuch
that their eyes filled with tears and they did
look exceedingly silly. And yet others cum
ningly wrought the leaves thereof into rolls,
and did set fire to one end thereof, and did
suck vehemently at the end Thereof, and did
look very grave and calf like; and the smoke
of their torment assembled up forever and
forever. And the cultivation thereof became
a great mighty business in the earth; and
the merchantmen waxed rich by the COM
merce thereof And it came to pass that the
saints of the Most High defiled themselves
Herewith even the poor who could not buy
shoes, nor bread, nor books for their little
ones, spent their money for it. And the Lord
was greatly displeased Herewith, and said
"Whercfore this waste; and why do these
little ones lack bread and shoes and books
Turn now your fields into corn and wheat
and put this evil thing far from you and
be separate, and detile not yourselves any
more; and | will bless you and cause my
face to shine on you" But with one accord
they all exclaimed: ave cannot cease from
chewing, snufing and putting are slaves

Bedding for Cattle.

There isno farm work, considering the out
lay, that pays so large dividends as the pro-
curing of some sort of bedding for the cattle,
for it not only keeps them clean-a great
point in itself-but also promotes their
growth and thriftiness, and the additional ac-
emulation for the manure pile will more
than pay for the labor, There is usually
large amount of litter that goes to waste that
if thus utilized would be of great service
Straw, oats, cut corn butts, &c, are valuable,
and fine sand is not Objectionable, for in it.
self it is one of the most clearly of beds, and
as it is large absorber of liquids, and is of
real benefit to clay land, there is no solid rea-
son why Il few loads of it may not be judi
ciously used. A farmer of our acquaintance
late in the fall takes his trucks, puts in long
stakes, and makes a four foot-deep box and
gathers forest leaves. One man gathers them
with rake and basket. These leaves are stor-
ed away in an unused stable. and what can
be crowded into bushel basket makes a fine
bed for stable Of cows for a couple ofnights,
and are fine absorbents There is no farmer
but that can provide bedding of some kind
and also have dry, wholesome stables for his
cattle and if he consults his interests and
once fully tests the value ofplenty ofbedding
he will always in the future practice bedding
his cattle and stock.
