Notwithstanding the favorable bulle

know that he could not survive. The
direct cause of his death was taXse.
mia, poisonous condition of the
blood. Saturday morning Judge
Blacks condition seemed somewhat
more favorable. but the physicians
recognized the fact that the apparent
improvement did not justify hope Of
his recovery. He gradually grew
worse, his breathing Increasing in
rapiiity without abatement in other
symptoms, and there seemed to be a
gradual, general failure of all the vital
forces. He was conscious to- within
few moments of his death, and pass
ed away without struggle.
Shortly before Judge Black died
he said to his wife, ''How can 1 fear
to cross the dark river when my faith
er waits for me on the other Shore y
and added, Would | were as com,
Portable about all leave behind un-
finished in this world,' and then
breathed the following earnest

THE NEW SOUTH.
BY FANNIE H. MARR.

She hath put on her strength like beau
tiful robe:
She will take her own place with the
realms of the globe;
Like storm-beaten tree, she hath raised
from the dust,
All tirmer and stronger to labor and trust.
Though her body has laid as the ground
and the street.
And the crown of her pride has been
trodden by feet,
She will rise and will shine from a loftier
height,
With a crown of new glory and a star of
new light.
She hath buried her past in the silence OF
years,
She hath turned her forever from mourn
ing and tears;
Now her watchword is 'onward.' still on
ward. if slow:
And her day, like the Spring, is with
promise a-glow
She hath wealth in her waters, and wealth
in her lands,
And her destiny lies like wheel IN hel
hands;
She can fall. she can rise. as she loiters
or hastes,
She can make, she can mar, as she gathers
or wastes.
Oh. if but the hearts of her children are
true;
If they stand to their own, if they strug-
gle anew
From the woes of her past ma " grand.
eur be born.
AS the tears of the eve makeithe gems OF
the mvrn.

Week before last spoke of the movement which was on foot to have the Yuma Indians placed 0pou a reservation aud cared for by the government. We under stood at that time that the reservation set apart for theit Use was to be located oppusite the Colorado reservation. but we learn since that such is. not the case. Instead of being located opposite the tribe of Mohaves, it it opposite the present camp of the Yumas. The boundaries of the proposed reservation are as follows: Beginning at a point in 8 channel in the Colorado river, opposite the mouth ot the Gila river. thence up the channel of the Gila river to the range line (when extended) between ranges l9 and 20 west of the Gila and Salt river meridian; thence North on said range line to the first standard parallel south; thence west on said parallel to the chan nel of the Colorado river; thence down the camel Of the Colorado river to the place of beginning. This tract embraces nearly 360. 600 acres of land. The boun darles as given above will be better un- derstood If rye state that they

They are smart couple, these Reavis brothers. They are ex- perts at obtaining something for , nothing. After the experience gained in settling hotel bills on on jaw-bone. and getting a bogus title to large tract of land, noth- sng Is more natural than that they should go into the Salt Riv- er and "do" the Phoenix papers for lot of free advertising. We are surprised at the tender ver- dure of our brethern on the He- raid and Gazette, that they should allow themselves to be thus worked on such a shallow scheme.

Last Saturday, in Tombstone,
 an attempt was made to conple Church and State, by electing a Catholic schoel board. It was properly unsuccessful. The same attempt was made in Ohio about thirteen years ago, und it was only with the greatest diligence on the part Of non-sectarians that the movement was suppressed. So long as the taXaS are paved by inc masses, no sect should be allowed to control the schools, It Is a thoroughly bigoted policy which attemps to drag religion Into the public schools. No two profecsing Christians believe exactly the same. yet no one of them will admit that his is not the true and only creed. If reIi- gion Is allowed any standing whatever in the popular educa- tion of oar children, sectarian strife will begin at once; and no one will deny that the result of of such contention will speedily defeat the cause of religion in general. If parents wish their children to learn Christianity let them be taught it at home. There,is plenty Of time. both by tprecept and example, to make them thoroughly familiar with all its principles and benefits: and should failure attend such efforts. the responsibility is where ii pro- perly belongs. The struggle civilization has had during the past thousand years to effect the present severance of Church and State has cost too much, and been prolific of too many good results, to admit of anything like a retro grade movement.

 rience in getting up expOsitions and gatherings of one kind or other, that they oughtto have the
 business down to a fine point, but
