At the close of my last letter 1 was on the San Marcos River, in Colwell county. The lands, as usual, are rich and produced from one to one and one hslf bales of cotton. But there are TWO very serious drawbacks here. When . good crop is made, hands are so scarce that it can hard ly be gathered. The other is, 1t is very subject to drought, From what 1 could learn, there is only one good crop year in Several, sessonable year seems to be the exception. lt is the hope that 'next year will be seasonable," that holds a great many men there. If the seasons were al- ways good, or as good as Arkansas, ! would certainly think this one of the finest fnnaing countries l have ever seen. But with dry weather and all, 1t is settling up very fast.
 The Mexican population on the San Marcos IS quite numerous, and about as useless as YOU could well imagine them 70 be. They afe noted but for one thing in tie line oi use ful cccupations. fhey gre good herdsmen. But few Of them SO far as ! know. have iarms. at least are not farmera.

Q what's the use of signing

0 what's the use of signing
 While time Is on the wing, o what's the use of caring
 For what the morn may bring. Wen cheerfully pass the world along,
 The sweetest roses gathering Nor heed the sharpest sting. Then hurrah hurrali
 Hurrah for song so light and free, That bids from ourhcarts all care depart
 And chases our sadness away. o what's the use of signing Or yielding to despair, A bright and silver lining The darkest cloud may wear. No matter how fierce the storm may blow Wen never give up, for well we know That just before the dawning The darkest shades appear. Let friends and fortune fail us And all the world go wrong, We'll smile when foes assail us
 And gently pass along. Iris folly to mourn our visions lied,
 'Twere better tc laugh and joke in-
 stead, And hope for days more joyous And singing pass along. Oh ! life that once was sweetness; Oh life that once was bliss; That held oui hearts in rapture Like the magic of kiss; Oh! hands that clasped mine gently ;
 Ohlcyes that beamed so true; What were life, aye, what were Heaven, Apart, dear love, from you? But the present with its shadows And its bright skies o'ercast, Can but treasure in sad memory Those joys that could not last.

MORE land will be reclaimed and | opered up for cultivation in Arizona this season than has been for the
 past three years put together, says i the Citizen. Aboui $SG0,000 will be 1 expended fo- the year ending May next, in canals and irrigatiug diiches
 which will increase the agricultural l laRd in the territory by 200, 900 acres Our California friends, who have ! cOntentef themselves with the delu- ! sion that they had perpetual mar 1 krt for their grain and fruits in
 ''Cactns Land," will awake, one of these fine mornings, and fad that
 Arizona IS not on'y supplying the
 home market, but shipping both ! iruIt and grain to eastern markets
 We have the land and the wafer to build up two or three agricultural 1 and horticultural distric's equal to
 Los Ange es, and it is folly fo sup- pose that they will not b. utilized
 The Salt River Valley country has made greater advances in agricuI
 ture in fhe past six years than did Los Angeles county in the sixteen years following the admission of i California as one of the states of the i Union.
 The Citizen might we'll have said
 that within the past three years we
 had made these advances in agricul>
 ture and horticulture, for it is fact that most of our development has come within that time and we do not hesitate to assert that within the
 next eighteen months gl eater devel- opments in the cultivation of the soil in this region of country will take place than in all the years the valley has been settled. More land
 will be brought into a state of cul> iivation within that time than is now cultivated Tn the entire valley And there will doubtless be some considerable change as to the char acter Of the products of the valley. Up to the present time it has been little less than wheat and barley, and while these will continue to be produced in considerable quantities, the better paying crops will be largely itroduced.
 The uniform success of cultivating the land by a system of irrigati Ii is ample demonstration that this sys> tenn is the scientific and practical method to adopt where water can be spread over the surface. It is in accordance with the spirit of the age. Former.y commerce depended solely on adVentitious winds and wares to interchange the products

"To WHAT base uses have we come at last" In Virginia on the eve of election occurs a terrible tragedy in whieh several whites and number of negroes lose their lives. And now comes broadcast a circular On the morning of election to tho ne
 groes Of that state appealing to their passions and preiudices, aroused to jury by the tragedy and calling on lhem to aveng. the death of their comrades by voting the readjusters' ticket" Now it matters not whether the readjusters' ticket te the right or the wrong thing in Vir- ginia politics the party that appeals 10 the basest passinns of ignorance, to the prejudice of race, and to the horrors of a recent crime, 10 gathel votes, is debasing itself to a position where the people can justly suspect l it of treachery to the public wher once it holds the power of office Such a party hesitates at nothing tC get into office; it hesitates at nothin!

 ble means to accomplish its pun
 poses and when auy party resorts
 any other course it's purposes ma

WE give place to-day to one of those outrageous lying stories con- corning this section of the country which are given circulation from time to time in the eastern states and too often gain the crcdence of the people al large in those states. A more interruptions and founda- tionless falsehood published by re- spectable newspapers on the merest hearsay of an entirely irresponsible person we have rarely noticed ana are sorry 10 note that so influential and generally responsible a paper as the St. Louis F pu5!tcGn would lend itself so unauthoritatively and wan tonly to the injury of any section oi the country. The story i: published in shape of e telegram and runs as follows:
 DALLAS, Texas, Oct. IA report was in circulal ion here to-day of a bloody battle that is said tO have occurred some place in southwestern New Mexico. The numi.er of killed is placed by some reports as high a. half hundred.
 Your correspondent traced the ru- nor as far as possible. finding the source, SD far as Dallas is concerned, was passenger who arrived to-day ov. the South western railroad This gentleman said that he heard from a conductor on the Southern Pacifi.. railroad that big fight h d occur red in New Mexico, only few miles from the Arizona line.
 All he was able to lealn wa that the sheriff of Pima county. Ariz z1na, had started last Thulsday i1 pursuit of small party Ol four or five rustlers who had been cninmilting depredatians In Arizona The officers followed the band across the line Into New Mexico. and ovcrtaok them Friday evening. Without talk ing proper precautions to ascertain the lay oi the land and the nun Der the number of rustlers he would have to contend with, the sheriff or dered his posse 10 dash down upon them. which was done.
 Instead of the rustlcrs surrender ing, they gave battl'. IL seems their number had been greatly augmented and instead of the halt dnzen men the sheriff expected to en.o untel there was a-small army of them.
 A running fight eHsued, in which according to the best authority that could he obtained, tecenty- one men were killed Whether the deaC of the sberitf's posse or the rustler: it was impossible to learn. Owing to lack of telegraph facilities, con. firmation of the story has not beer obtained.

of the distant portions of the earth. Then the commercial worli lived siowly, made money slowly and was dull and dro~sy as the age. But change came. Steam was introduced and now the channels cf commerce run full, and more certainly, aud very rapidly to the four corners of ihe earth.
 In all those sections of country where irrigation is n,t depended upon, crops are uncertain. Total and partial failures are the rule. It rains too much; it rains too little. In farming by irrigation the crop of the diligent, careful farmer is as sure and uniform as are the ttiDs oi the ocean steamer or rounds Of the overland train. Scientific farming is farming by irrigation. It is tho true method. It is the one method by which the soil longest retains it
 life without the addition of stimu- lants Tn the shape of manures ant other life-gIving expedients. Irrl
 gation adds life of itself and there i
 little call for artificial devices t
 keep up the land. People unaccus
 toned to this method of farmin
 imagine it questionable as to result. True, it takes little more money f start, hut once started the return

 the methods praciIced in rainy cour

 to be seen by practical and wide awake agriculturisis and horticultu l rists everywhere, and those regicr of Arizona and elsewhere adapted the method by irrigation are rapidl
 being appropriated. Within Il next two years there will be grei scarcity of land in this TerritoT suitable for tillage and as the Cttiz' 2 has intimated our southern Califo ] nia friends may expect an end l ileir supplying Arizoua with frp s and grain at an early day
