Beecher ON California.

We notice that Henry Ward Beecher,
In recent outgiving, says he thinks
that "Galifornia is handicapped by her
warm and dry climate. but that "Wash.
ington Territory is the Italy OF America, "
and If he were young man he would
emigrate there. 1t is true that some
limited districts in California are blessed
with but meagre rainfall, but the State
At large is not an arid region, except in
the Summer months, when rain would
do more harm than good, and as for
cold, ii Beecher or any other man sighs
for it, he can obtain as much irigidity as
he wants by simply ascending our
Sierras few thousands of feet Prof.
John w. Draper predicted great differ
ences of character to eventually result
from our diversified climate. lie said
that he believed that in the distant fu-
tnre our dry and sandy plains of Arizo.
na, Utah and New Mexico would pro.
duce people resembling the Arabs and
Turcomans of Asia, while humid Oregon
and Washington Territory would give
birth to the ruddy English and fair
haired Saxons of the United States. Ii
there be anything in this theory, South
ern California has much to hope from
her future sons, Notwithstanding Mr..
Beecher's Judgment We have climate
and country remarkably similar to that
of Greece and Palestine, in all their pc
culiarities, and those lands OF old time
developed the flower of the human race
To those lands we go back for types Of
perfection in physical strength and
beauty as well as moral power and
moral worth. And the old Romans
with hearts OF oak and muscles OF steel,
were the children Of a'country and a
climate very similar to that of our own
State. Our own county with itU 80
inches OF rain this season, will laugh at
droughts for years to come. It is not a
dry country. 1t is as healthful and
bracing as were ever Greece Or Palestine
It Is true that in our valleys we lack the
element of cold. But the snowy noun
Trims are in full view, and our yearnings
in that regard are satisfied. We are
willing that the Italy of America,
spoken of BY Mr.. Beecher, should have
ali the benefits to be derived from {
nsarer experience.

Attempt to seize Geronimo's
stock BY Customs Omeers A
Serlous Com


TOMBSTONE, March ll.-A new and
interesting phase Of the return Of Geron-
lmo's band OF Apaches from Sonora has
just been developed. They brought
with them l25 head Of cattle and about
100 head Of horses and mules with Mex
ican brands on them, and undoubtedly
stolen. On Saturday evening last the
Indians, thirty-thre In number, in
charge OF Lieut.. Britton Davis, OF the
Third Cavalry, camped at Sui
phur Springs Rancho. thirty miles north
east OF this city, en- route to San Carlos
reservation. Learning OF the smnggled
stock, w. p. Howland, General Inspect
or OF Customs, and J. Il. Clark. Deputy
Collector and Inspector, went to the
camp and made an attempt 10 seize the
horses and cattle rs smuggled property.
A demand In writing was made upon
Lieut.. Davis, which he refused to recog-
nize, saying the stock was not in his
charge, that the Indians were not pris-
oners, and that he and his troop Of cav
airy were merely on escort, in fact. he
had nothing to do with the matter. A
demand was then made on Davis, as a
citizen Of the United States, to
assist tho officers to make the seiz.
ure. He evaded this by saying:
MAKE the attempt and you will see
what l will do" Upon the mission Of
the customs officers being made known
to Geronimo, he said hewould die before
he would give up the stock; that his
band would fight to the death, with the
result Of putting 1900 Apaches on the
warpath In less than forty-eight hours.
Runners were dispatched to the reser-
vation by Geronimo, and about mid.
night the Indians broke camp and fol.
lowed with the stock. The situation
is considered very grave. As Lieut..
Davis expressed it, il tho demand is
insisted on, it will result in tho largest
Apache outbreak ever known in Arizo.

and deny certain false and slanderous
statements recently made and indastri.
ously circulated by Eleazer Ainsworth
of Wilmington, Delaware, concerning
the validity and merit of our patent
non-conductor covering for boilers,
steam pipes, ETC., which statements are
calculated and intended by their author
to injure US and to prevent the adoption
and use Of our patent, we take this
means of alleging as fact that our pat.
ent is not an Infringement of the pro-
cess used by Ainsworth, his statements
to the contrary notwithstanding; that If
this assertion be questioned we are
ready now and have been at all times
since our patent was granted to us to
meet and answer the charges Of infringe
ment before the proper legal tribunal,
| but that he, we'll knowing the falsity OF
| his charges, has not dared and does not
dare to accept our challenge, but has
sought by underhanded methods as
mean as they are insidious to damage
us and as far as he cared to prevent the
introd uction and use of our patent.
That in vindication of ourselves, and
as the only proper way to settle ques-
tions of this sort, we have instituted in
the Superior Court for New Castle
county, Della ware, suit against Aims.

The tobacco factory of Watson & NC
Gill, one of the largest in Pittsburg,
Virginia, has temporarily suspended
operations. The factory gives employ
ment to over 800 colored persons. The
suspension is due to the scarcity of to-
bacco for manufacturing purposes,
which retards work more or less in the
other factories in that city.
