ANOTHER PLEA FOR BIRDS We mentioned
last week that the army worm had appeared on
the farm OF DR.. David Harlan, near Churchyille,
and were destroying the growing crops A
ditch was promptly made in their front, into
which they fell in great numbers The birds
were soon found about the ditch, rapidly de-
vouring the worms. Crows, blackbirds, robins,
pigeons, &c, were assembled in large numbers,
constituting, for the time, happy family. We
appear to have more and a greater variety of
birds this summer than usual, owing, no doubt,
to our excellent game laws

BAD POLICY.
people

The Philadelphia Mining Journal of the 11th instant has absolutely nothing in it but puffs for Roberts Lake Valley mines, the Sierra Grande, Sierra Apache and Sierra Bella. If they are good mines they will speak for themselves. If they should prove to be frauds, it will rum whatever reputation that journal may possess. It is poor policy for any pa. per, especially one claiming to be authority on mining matters, to make such use of its columns. In the phrase of the street: "There is noth- ing in it." Certainly, it may be paid a large price, that the stock in the mines puffed may find more ready market, still it cannot but result in loss, if the course is indiscriminately pursued, as sooner or later it will ad- vocate worthless prospects. Again it makes bad showing on the face, as mining-men and shrewd specu- ulators generally avoid mines with fulsome reports. Better follow Davy Crockett's advice: "Be sure you are right and then go ahead"

IT has been said, and with much truth, that some of the most choice extracts of the English language are passing around unfathered by author or authoress. We also find many good things in less select language without credit, among which the following may be numbered: "A father talking to his careless daug said: q want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed that careworn look upon her face lately. Of course, it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to get up tomorrow morning and get break fast, and when your mother comes and begins to- express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Be- sides you owe her kiss or two. Away back, when you were little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever tainted breath and swollen face. You were not so attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine or shadow she was always ready to cure, by the magic of mothers kiss, little dirty chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough old world. And the mid night kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams as she leaned over your restless pillow have all been on interest these long, long years. Of course, she is not so pretty or kiss able as you are; but if you had done your share of work during the last ten years the contrast would not be so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours, far more; and yet if you were sick that face would appear more beautiful than an angels as it lowered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort; and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over tho dear lace. She will leave you one of these days. These
 burdens, if not lifted from her

THURLOW WEED,

The telegraph informs us that tho veterant journalist Thurlow Weed IS dead. His death has been expected for some time. His last days on earth were peaceable, and he passed away while his grandchildren held his hands and with fearful eyes watched the vital spark flicker, until all was darkness. His life has certainly been a remarkable one, and to the last his interest in all political matters was fresh and eager., When he was born in a little cabin on the Hudson river, the great poet Byron was a little lame boy going to his first school in Aberdeen. Another poet, Shelley, was babe in his mothers arms, and Keats was but toddling. Washington was the honored living representative of Americans residing at Mt. Vernon. The great Napoleon was just married to the peerless Jo- sephine and was yet to win the splendid laurels of his life. What a retrospect And yet when his tired eyelids closed in the unawakening sleep, there was no power by which he could transmit It to those he loved and left behind. The memory with 1 its garnered treasures of almost a century, upon which were photo graphed the most startling incident; in the life of the nation, closed with his last breath. When his life is written, it will teach to the youth oi the land lesson in fortitude, cour' | age and perseverance, which should stimulate them to follow in the foot
 steps of one whose memory will al
 ways be revered.

Upon waking, the morning after election, he remarked that his olfac- tories were not greeted with the usual odors from the kitchen; and going to the door, he called his wife to inquire the cause, noting, at the same time, that prep arations to move were apparently going on down stairs She informed him quietly that the state had gone democratic, and he called savagely !or q paper that he might know the worst.

TIE idea that speculation has been a potent factor in advancing the price of Texas beef cattle 40 per cent in five years is vigorously secuted by the Live Stock Journal. Aware of the convincing argumental force of mathematics the editor sums up tho real causes in plain figures. He says better market and transpor- tation facilities add 40 per cent; inn provement in quality of cattle adds 40 per cent; increase in Texas popu- lation over increase in cattle adds 25 per cent; increased beef consumption adds 5 per cent; and the greater se- curity to property adds 30 per cent. This makes up the total of 40 per cent. As for speculation, it has no- thing to do with it. It is merely cheap money seeking class of in- vestment, which used to be consid- cred too uncertain and insecure to warrant such investments.

THE Courier cannot forget-or forgive-its old fee Hamilton, of the Independent, and in late issue says: "The so-called Independents' are about the worst used up people in Arizona. They have not won a trick and have no political standing anywhere in this world" All of which may be true, but now that the battle IS over and the smoke cleared away, it strikes us It would be good policy to cease pickering, put shoul- ders together and work for the gen. eral interest of the territory, and our respective sections particularly. The territory has grand future. We consider that it stands now very much in the same position that California did some thirty years ago, and to-day she is queen among the sisterhood of states. But Arizona's possibil. ities must not be left to Fate, or luck, if you will, while those who should be her friends are settling their differences of opinion. In time to come her co.workers will be honored as are the pioneers of the golden state.

A MAJORITY of the republicans join with the democrats in rejoicing at the defeat of Robeson. In refer ring to this the Chicago Tribune, a powerful republican paper, says the brightest spot in the silver lining which is discerned in the cloud of republican disaster is the reported defeat of "Secor" Robeson in New Jersey. His olfenses under the Grant administration had been condoned, and he had shown certain ability in congress when the republicans were in the minority which commanded a good deal of admiration. But just as soon as it became apparent that the present congress had republican ma aJority Robeson began his intrigues anew. It was mainly through his talent for trading that Keller was elected speaker and himself placed at the head of the committee on na- Val expenditures in the house. He developed the grossest indifference to the good standing of his party, ,and during the last session of congress did more than any other one man to produce the revulsion in public sen, timent which resulted in such wide- spread defeat of the republican party this year. It is especially fitting that he should be beaten. With Hubbell shelved and Robeson defeated, the republicans will be better prepared to make the fight in 1884 than they would have been if they had achieved a victory thls year with the influences and methods which such men repre-. |

THE Prescott Courier makes the

THE Prescott Courier makes the following suggestive hlnt: "The Tombstone Republican is not going to take the capital from Prescott right away. Mir Bolan is elected joint councilman and it may come 10 pass that he may desire to do little flibustering, in which case Cochise may have to put herself under the wing of old Yavapai, which really gave birth to Cochise." In other words It says .he joint councilman of Graham and Cochise, P. J. Belan, will work for the division of this county in behalf of Graham, in which case Yavapai will stand in with us, in case our representatives do not attempt to remove the capital. So far as the capital is concerned we would not have it in Tombstone now as gift, but we do want our county to remain intact, and wee to the man who introduces bill to divide it. But we do not apprehend any such move on the part of P. J. Bolan; he was too strongly pledged on that point when he accepted his nomina tion.
