OUR STANDARD BEARER.

lQe OI10duS T UtETLCUII, Al
 bion, N. Y, says of our Con-
 gressional candidate:
 "The Judge is a native of
 Carlton, in this county he
 was reared in our midst and
 our citizens watch with inter
 est the progress of our young
 men who boldly push out, go
 west" and backed by ability,
 pluck and push, achieve suc-
 cess, because they are made up
 of the clements which com
 mand 1t. With Judge Porter
 in Congress to look after them,
 the interests of Arizona will not be left to chance or to the hazard of neglect, but will be cared for as a prudent business man would look after his own affairs. From partizan stand point, the Republican banner will not be trailed in the dust by acts of his. Arizona will consult her own home interests by giving his nomination the indorsement of an overWhelm- ing majority at the polls, as we doubt not she will"
 Of course she will. Arizona is young, vigorous, enterpris- ing, and knows her man. She well knows she cannot afford to be bound hand and foot by the inability of an incompe- tent Delegate. She wants her gates of progress opened wide and she knows that Judge Por- ter Is the man who can open them. Judge Porter's vigor of action and quick, incisive perception indicates the char acter of the young Territory that will send him to guard her interests in the National Legislature. Enterprise, life and a strong, vigorous growth show themselves everywhere. Our mines-mines that are be- ing developed, worked legiti- mately for what they are worth-are increasing in num- bers with great rapidity. I'm mense amounts of capital are being invested that will pro- | duce still greater amounts. Mining is here real not speculative business. Our broad valleys are being occu- pied, the waters of our streams turned upon them and they teem at once with millions of dollars worth of products. Our mesas and our mountains are the ranges for the production of other millions of dollars worth of cattle, sheep and wool These immense interests bring with them population and population develops legis- lative wants. He who repres- ents our Territory in Congress must be as comprehensive, as intrinslcally sound and able, as capable of development as are the interests which he repres- ents. Of the two men who aspire to that position there is no question that Judge Porter is by far the nearest to our ideal representative.

The swift course Of pardon in the case
of the takers off of Jesse James, will
doubtless call forth from New England
papers another round of self righteous
condemnation of western civilization"
similar to that of which they delivered
themselves when the outlaw was killed.
Without saying anything whatever upon
Governor Crittenden's action az to either
right or expediency, we think there is
room for criticism Of those who have
judged him in this matter and who have
hurled wholesale abuse against the west
ern people.
New England's attitude toward the
west, of wilful misunderstanding, blind
self compacency, ridiculc and self right
eous patronage is forming and nourish-
ing a spirit of prejudice between the two
sections which assuredly can do no good,
and may some time do harm. 1t is even
now a mild reflex OF that felt years ago
between the north and south. 1t has
none of the bitter hatred in it which
characterized the other, but is mainly
good natured, laughing spirit, with a
large admixture of self Importance, as
sumption and ignorance. 1t not only
does the west injustice and unkindncss,
but it prevents to certain extent the
growth of harmony and kindness be-
tween the two sections.
The present outburst concerning Jes-
Sc James is but one of many instances.
The habit of misrepresentation of every
thing western shows itself in this in
stance as plainly as it does where there
is less need of misrepresentation
to make 4 startling case. For instance,
our esteemed contemporary, the Jourt al,
talked about "a race of men wearing
knives and pistols in their belts" resist.
ing the course of civilization, as if GER
tain portions Of the west were inhabited
mainly by these. Possibly the Journal
thinks this to be true. Possibly 1t has
Just awakened from an antebellum sleep
and really doesn't know but that affairs
have not changed since that time. But
the fact remains that the New England
papers have been misrepresenting the
people Of the west, not only in this in
stance but in many others. Whether it
is done through ignorance of the real
condition of Affairs in the west, Or be-
cause of the opportunity thereby given
of exalting a corner of the country, such
a course is alike undignitied, unwor by
and productive Of i'll feeling and discord.

intelligent sluggards that were they To
go TO the ant at sunrise they would find
him hard at work whereas, as a matter
of fact, the ant usually lies in bed until
8 or 10 o'clock in the morning. Moreover
instead OF working steadily when he does
begin TO work, he wastes hours in idle
lounging. If there is piece of impor.

as the burying of the body of dead
beetle, there will usually be two or three
hundred ants around the body. and the

Whereas about ten or twelve of the three
hundred ants do all the work. The 9th.

the ant, and we all know how often lazi.

The ant is probably the most thor.
oughly useless insect in existence. The
earthworm, whose virtues Mr.. Darwin
has lately celebrated, does valuable
work in turning and looseDing the soil,
hut the ant cares for nothing but his own
comfort and pleasure. He is consumed
by passion Of curiosity, as every man
and woman who has attended picnic
can testify. If he sees a human foot he
instantly insists on climbing it, and
whenever he finds n practicable opening
between a mans neck and collar he can
not restrain himself from diving into it.

drinking are simply loathsome. He

and in comparison with him even the

If we want examples OF industry and
other public and private virtues, We must
hot apply either to TIE bee or the ant.

for fresh nap, informing his prosecutor
that the ant does not receive visitors un-

the bee is thrown in the sluggards face,
let him reply that the shining hours can
be spent in bed to better advantage than

The New Orleans Picdyme has I'M
earthed a curious fragment of literature
in the shape of a treatise in French on
the proper treatment of the mouth Of the
Mississippi. 1t is from the sixth volume
of Charlevoix's Travels in North Amer
ica," published in IVA. 1t is the Eads
plan to a nicely. The fragment trans
lated is as follows:
"a little below New Orleans the land
on both sides of the Micissippi (sic) be-
gins to narrow, and this goes on increas-
ing down to the sea. This tongue of land
does not seem to be of great antiquity,
for water is met with, by digging to very
little depths, and the number of battures
and small islands which have been
known to form, during the past twenty
years, at all the mouths of the river,
leaves no doubt that this strip of soil has
originated in similar manner. 1t ap-
pears to be certain that, when Mr.. de La
Sale went down the Micissippi (sic) as
far as the sea, the mouth of the river was
not the same as it is at the present time.
The nearer one approaches the sea, the
more evident does what ! say become:
there is scarcely any water on the bar, in
the greater number Of these small passes,
which the river has opened, and whose
multiplication has been caused by the
trees, which are whirled into these passes
by the current; suflices that one single
tree should bearrested in its course, that
either its branches or its roots should
agfound;i it then causes thousand others
to be stopped in the neighborhood. 1t
becomes impossible to set them adrift,
for the silt and mud, carried along by
the stream, acts as cement, which grad
ually covers them over; each overflow
depositsa fresh layer, and after ten wears,
at most, canes and shrubbery begin to
grow. Such is the history of the forma.
ton of nearly all the points and islands
which so frequently change the course OF
the river"
A little further on Father de Charlie
voix continues
u would also recommend that all the
passes, except the principal one, be
closed. Nothing would be easier to do
than this; it would simply be necessary
to direct into these passes the floating
trees, with which the surface of the river
is nearly always covered. The first re
suit obtained would be that the river
could be entered, even by barges and
canoes, only by this principal channel,
which would prove an advantage to the
colony by lessening the danger of sur
prises the second benefit would consist
in the fact that the entire force of the
river current being concentrated, the
main channel, above described, would
dig itself out, as well as the bar. | base
this conjuncture on what has occurred in
the case of the two Pointes Coupees of
which | have spoken to you. There
would then remain only the necessity of
keeping the channel clear, and of pre-
venting the floating trees from creating
distractions. which it appears to me
would not be difficult task"

the scientific persons, anxious to be on
what they foresee will be the winning
side have begun to uproot the impud
ent pretensions of these insects and TO
exhibit them in their true light. An
English scientific journal has recently
contained scathiDg exposures of the lazi-
ness and criminality Of bees and ants,
and though the old superstition as TO
their moral sublimity will die hard, it is
certainly doomed.
The bee, according to the convention
al theory, improves each shining hour
by TIE commendsble practice of gather
ing honey from every opening Hover.
He does nothing of the kind. 1t may
be granted that, where bees are forced
either to work for their living,Or starve,
they will make honey from flowers; but
give them a chance to lead an easier life
ard they instantly adopt it. The bees
living in the neIghborhood of Paris new
er look at flower. They prefer to fly
in,o the city and to steal sugar. AT one
single refinery in Paris five thousand
dollars worth of sugar is annually stolen
by bees, and the aggregate value of sugar
thus stolen from all the Paris rehneries
must lie enormous. Not content with
being a thief, the bee is brawler. The
belize, sedulously instiled into youthful
mind by bee worshipers, that the bee
never uses his sting except for self
defense is delusion. Bees are quarrel
some and utterly reckless. They sting
for the mere pleasure of inilicting pain,
and show no distinction between noisy

shaving the Face.

Thirty years ago few persons OF for
eign birth appeared in the streets with
hair on the upper lips, and were objects
of curiosity and sometimes OF public
ridicule. In 1850 some of the young
swells of the metropolis began to wear
mus aches, but for some time no clerk
would venture to initiate them. In one
case merchant on Pine street who just
engaged clerk for twelve months, or
during good behavior, discharged him
for wearing full beard, claiming that
the adoption of the fashion laid the
clerk open to dismissal under the good
behavior clause to the contract. About
the same time number of leading mer-
chants gave notice that they would en-
ploy nobody who wore hair OH the upper
lip. AS late as 1851 the senior proprietor
of this paper made his cashier shave of
an incipient mustache, and Don after
brought his own son under the razor. In
the church of DR.. Bethune, on Brooklyn
Heights, an elder who was suffering from
a lame wrist allowed his beard to grow
rather than submit TO barber The
habit, beginning in necessity, continued
on account of the increase of comfort
which it afforded, and the elder Haunted
his beard before the congregation con
stantly. The result was laughable
Many of the brethren called upon the
pastor to insist upon doing away with
such a scandal as a full-bearded elder
He led them to his library and showed
them how some of the early fathers had
pleaded against cutting off the beard
ale turned to Lactantius, Theodore, st
Augustine and st. Cyplian, who had
stoutly contended for the growth of the
whole beard. He quoted from Clemen'
Of Alexander the assertion that nature
adorned men, like lion, with beard
as mark of strength and power WheI
one of the visitors asked him how he
would like it if the clergy assumed the
mustache, DR.. Bethune referred him tC

was positively enacted that a cleric shal
