s5 7.--sll -z-- Aboyt.-- 7Irdf "a "a '. sl-sas IS an Indian reservation occupying some fifty square miles of as fine agricultural lands as lies within the county limits, and thus reservation IS occupied by an Indian population of not more that 150, old and young, and We doubt whether there Is 100 of population. These h. dIsns actually occupy and use less than one section of land for farming purposes while all the remainder, finely situated for irrigation and cultivation, lies a waste that the enterprise of white man dares not touch.
 These Indians originally belonged on the Maricopa reservation, on the Gila, where there IS now, and was then, vastly more land than all the Indians on 1t can lse. The setting aside of a reservation on the Salt river of fifty square miles for this handful of Indians was either a miserable and ignorant blunder on the part or some one, or 1t was a scheme to keep settlers off these lands. There could have been no real necessity for the formation of this reservation. So Tar a5 the Indians on 1t are concerned, 1t Is entirely superhuous So far as its size, compared with the number of h. dlans occupying 1t is concerned, 1t is a simple outrage. It should be abolished and opened up tO settlement by the present Congress. The GiIa reservation has vastly more land than the Indians on It and those on the Salt River re- servatlon can use. But fl these Indians are to stay on the Salt river, then We say give each head of family 16O acres; give each young buck over twenty-one years of age l6O acres and throw the re- malnder open to settlement and there will be not less than thirty-fve square miles of land left for the white settler, that will be improved and add to the wealth, and commerce, and white population of our county. We would respectfully say to the Interior Depart ment give the white man 8 chance.- Pheuix Herald.

Cheap Ocean Fares.


It is now predicted. and there is
a probability that the prediction
will come true. that within the
coming year steerage passengers
will Cross the Atlantic for $40, and
the Pacific for An amount NOT to ex-
so. There is something disturb
ing in the thought that the latter
part Of the prediction may be veri-
fed. There is little that is COM
forting in that part of the prophesy
in whatever way it may be viewed.
The Pacific States will view it with
positive apprehension and alarm,
unless positive assurance is given
them that ere the Chinese can Sc
cure passage from Hongkong to
San Francisco for $40, a good Re-
striction bill will be passed. and.
what is more, will be rigidly en-
forced.
One reason given for the ex-
pected reduction in Ocean fares is
that the rate of speed of steamers is
rapidly on the increase; and it is q
fact to day that people make quick
or time over the water than over
the land. The New York Sun says:
IF there we're straight stretch of
water from New York to San Fran
cisco, there is no train on the pres
ent schedule between the two
points which the Oregon would
non leave behind her." The run
would be then made without any
stoppage whatever, and in that way
the steamer would make up fully
for any lack of speed as compared
with our overland trains. Then
there is so much steam competition
into which the Chinese are enter.
ing on the Pacific, that the pro-
phecy made bids fair to be fulfilled
It seems as if the Celestials had be-
come alarmed at the prospect that
by adverse and more stringent leg
islation some of their hordes may
be shut out from this land of gold
and are making all haste 10 take ad-
vantage of the present lax law and
its easy enforcement. If the need
ed legislation is given us it will be
largely owing to the vigilance, ac-
tivity and persistence Of the Cali
fornia delegation in Congress, and
to the constant modification of SEN
timent taking place in other por-
lions of the Union. The people in
other places are becoming inform
ed relative to the evils of having
the Chinese among them and there
is hope that their cry of alarm may
be needed, and needed legislation
speedily given US.

Execution of a Sep0y.
India Times.

The Times describes the execution at
Daeca, of Goolab Khan, a sepoy of
the 18th regiment, native infantry,
who ran amuck in the bazaar on the
7th of September, killing two persons
and wounding five others. 1t appears
that on the morning in question, the
prisoner, having quarreled with his
paramount, went to his barrack, and
about 1 in the afternoon returned
with his rife and twenty four rounds
of ammunition. He was somewhat
under the influence of liquor, and
while going to the woman's house he
cautioned everyone to move from his
way and threatens to shoot those who
would not do SO. He subsequently
shot an old woman and a maa, aud
wounded five others He alse fired at
the sentry Of the bazaar guard, but
fortunately missed his aim. Another
shot was fired in the woman's house,
but this also failed to take effect. In
few minutes he aroused the whole
bazaar, and everyb body was running
for his life. He then made toward a
31ltltG, where he sat down and swal-
lowed a2Other draught Of the liquor
which he had been carrying with
him. He started again, but a party
from the cavalry and infantry lines
was at his heels. Several shots were
fred at him, but without effect, and
he was eventually. arrested prepare
tory to shooting himself. HS was
tried and sentenced 10 death by gener-
al court-martial, He was executed on

of all the troops, both British and ma
tive. Almost the whole population

The prisoner walked up the steps of

asked his Mussulman friends of tue
regiment to forgive him and bury his
remains. On the fall of the drop the

How TO FertiIiZe Fruit Trees.

Here and there on all farms and in
most fruit gardens will be seen an
occasional tree or grape vine, whic Ii
seems to lack vigor-dees not grow
well, and yet seems to have no partic-
ular disease. The probabilities are
that the tree is dying of starvation
end needs liberal supply of food.
When you give it this ration, do not
pile load of manure around the trunk
of the tree or the bottom Of grape
vine. That is just the place where it
will do the least good. Nearest the
trunk of the tree, the roots are all
large. rnhe ibrous roots-the feeders
are further off near the ends of the
roots. These only can take up the
nutriment Ct is always safe to as
sumo that the roots extend as far from
tn trunk in every direction as do the
limbs of the tree, aud to properly fer
tilize, spread the manure all over that
area. Then fork it la and you have
done good work and done it well.
If some disease has begun its work on
the tree, you put the tree IN a healthy,
vigorous couditiop, the better enabling
it TO successfully contend against its
enemies. We have seen numerous
old pear and apple trees, bearing
poor and gnarled fruit, which the
owners consider of no value, but
which such treatment as we have out
lined above would restore to their
original usefulness.-Orange County

The Survey Of Palestine.
Contemporary Review.

The survey Of Palestine has thrown
light on another most important
question concerning ancient Palestine
namely, the relations of the present
climate of the country to that Old
Testament tiRes. This question has
been fully worked out in papers which
will be found in the memoirs of the
survey, and the conclusions reached
may be brief summarized. Palestine
is a small country, but it presents
great variety of soil, climate, and
water supply in various districts.
We have the tropical Jordan Valley
and the arctic region OF Upper Her
mon and Lebanon. We have rich
volcanic corn plains in Bashan and
round Jezreel, and sandstones covered
with pines and cedars, and hard lime
stones over which perennial streams
flow between fine woods of oak and
terebinth in Galilee, ard yet more in
GiIead. We have fiat maritime plains.
sandy and marshy, hot and nalarious,
bounded by ever-rollr G dunes, but
we'll watered by sluggish streams
from the clear springs at the mountain
foot These plains run from Carmel
to GAIA, ever widening, and support
ing rich harvesls. We have the low
chalk hills, with their luxurant olive
yards and wells of living water, all
along the eastern side of the maritime
plains Above, rise mountains 8 900
to 4. 600 feet high, and on the north
attaining to 10000 feet. These are
generally rugged and bare, but care
fully terraced and partly cultivated.
The vine fourishes on these higher
ranges, where the frost and mist aid
the strong reflection of heat from the
rock to ripen the grapes. But besides
these richer districts, we have the old
deserts unchanged from the days of
Abraham and of David the fat marty
plateau of Beersheba. where the no.

Isaac did befoae them; the desolate
peaks and gorges of the Jeskimoh,

David hid in these Businesses from
Saul, among the rocks of the wila

ter for the naturalists aud the geo1og-
list to decide, and We know certainly
that brooks of water could never have
flowed on the surface of the porous
chalk of some Of these regions any
more than they can now. We know
also that the land is still as fertile as
of old; still with sufficient rainfall !;
and that when a jast and stable gov
ernnaent exists (as IN the LeSanon)
the country still flows with I'll and
wine. But what we do learn from a

by the higher court. At times he
could not or would not speak Of that
honorable body with patience, and
his hostility to certain of the Judges
was well known. 1t was supposed by
most lawyers that should opportunity
come to him he would refuse a pro
motion which would necessitate his
sitting upon the same bench with
Judges for whose legal attainments
he had so often expressed cor tempt:
and when, In 1875 his name was sent
in as successor to Judge Wells upon
The Supreme Court bench, many look
ed to see the honor declined. For
number of days, indeed, il was gen
orally reported that Judge Lord was
hesltatlng In the matter, and even his
Intimate friends mad doubts about his
acceptance. One morning, as the late
Stephen B Ives, who probably pos
sessed more of Judge Lord S confidence
than any other member of the bar at
least, was entering the court house,
he met the Judge coming down from
the lobby. "Well, Judge" he said.
''have you decided about going on to
the Supreme bench9" Looking him
squarely in the face, Judge Lord
gravely replied: Stephen, I have
thought the matter over as to where
| could be of the most use, and have
concluded to remain where [ am"
But, Judge, "expostulated his friend,
you should not be hasty In this mat
ter" Its no use, Stephen" inter
rupted the Judge, Il tell you I have
absolutely made up my mind to stay

ued Mr.. Ives, 81 am TERRIBLY dissap-
pointed, and you will grieve all your
friends if you insist upon this course.

said Judge Lord, as he LAID his hand
kindly upon the shoulder of his tried
and trusted friend, for" he contin-
ued in an exultant voice, 81 have this
morning been qualified as a Justice

the times of Titns and of the Crusa-

the times of Titus and of the Crusa-
ders are often entirely destroyed, and
fine oak woods are represented by
acres Of stuwps and roots; the great
Antanine cities beyond Jordon stand
In wilderness full of ruined villages,
over which the Arab wanders with
his herds of camels. In brief, we see
that poverty and decrease of popula-
ton, the decay of roads and aqueducts,
the ruin of the old cisterns, the des-
tructlon of the woods, terraces, and
vineyards ars the causes of the pres
ent desolation. This has often been
pointed out, and experience proves
that, given q just and strong govern
ment IN the country, Palestine might
become, like Southern Italy, garden
of the world
