 VAN GoRDoS's RANGE. San Luis Obs
 DO county, Cal, April 8, 1885.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: There is no use in in hiding ones feelings; California is one of the greatest countries out of doors, bu. the average Arizona man feels a lack of social advantages; California has changed materially; the hospitality that once characterized the early settlers of the State has become a thing of the past; degree of pride has taken pos session of theIr hoerality, and indeed to such an extent that the ordinary work IngmRn has very little use to any friendly approaches. The tOrty-niners are scarcely to be seen, but when one IS met, ycu drag yourself back to childhood's happy hours. He has fixed determine ton to make you at ease and m no in- stance does he ever fail; his happy mo- ments are when he relates the wonders of early days. relating anecdotes, hair breadth escapes, marriages and births, and usually, Tn relating the death ot some friend, the tears wIll start but at this stage of the game your cOrrssp nd ent usually takes his leave. The gay. frolicsome life 1 have led in the Terri tory during the last twenty years was devoid of weeping; had uo sristocracy to buck against, no particular style of etiquette to observe. l had a self con- stituted style Of my own, and usually made It draw a full hand; and nothing | gave me more pleasure than to hear the | sturdy sons of toll shout out, There | comes the Irish LOrdr Such Is not | the case here; no greeting; nothing of | any note to cause fond recOllections | O, give me the Territory, yet, with it's busy camp scenes, the humping of it's quartz mills, its social gossip-all that | makes the Territory dear to the memory | of it's inhabitants. This country has | made rapid strides in the way of inn provements; 1t would be lots of fun for Arizona boys to see q whale fishery, but | they have only to come here to see one. These monsters of the sea are cut and carved in chunks, which are called blub- Der, the Il tried ou. and shipped in bar rels to San Francisco.

A Mexican Wagon.

Gee Ot the crudest affairs to be seen ID Mexico is tbe common road wagon, tbe whe=.s for which are made from a slngl, block or Oi several pieces rudely pinned together, and the circumfrrence IS fs from being true circle. The axel pr, jects six or eight inches outside tb wheel which is kept in place with wooden linchpin. The portion whlcl passes through the wheel soon ge worn, the result beng a constant vol ling and sSaying. A long pole IS las ed at one end to this axle, and the Otht to the yoke which, passing behind tn horns. is fastened to them, all with band ot rawhide. The shrieking of the unlu. bricated axles is excruciating. It is as serted that the jar upon the heads of the cattle of hauling heavy loads over rough roads upon such a rig IS so great that after year or two their teeth drop out.

 If you have no leaning towards a trade, and no work offers at home, you must find 1t elsewhere. If you do not want to end your days as laborer you must make up your mind in advance of any step to be diligent and faithful-to be honest nd economical. By o6sery- ing thL hrSt three maxims you will hold any place you may secure, and have the good VIII of your employer to follow you into new fields. By observing the fourth you can, in a few years, aceumu- late sufficient capital 10 enl ble YOU to enter 'nto business for yourself.
 What boys have done other boys can again accomplish. Eight out of every ten of our rich men were poor boys and made their own way. As for those whc began life with plenty of money, not one out of eight has been anything like a success. Detroit, Cleveland, Bufalo. Albany, St. Louis and every other city contains men who began life by working Tor smaller wages than will ever be offered to you, and who are now worth from $50, 900 to sl, 900, 900 apiece. Some of the old growlers will tell you that it was aA AH AuNA. OOu you DtSlu your career by believing in luck. It leads to the poor-house by the straight road What the lazy man calls luck is simply diligence, economy and management.
 Pick out the laziest, poorest man in your town and you will find him growl- ing about luck. When he comes to ex- plain his career you will see that he planted potatoes and waited for luck to come around and hoe them while he sat on the grocery steps and talked politics. The ill-luck he growls about has come more through his own shiftlessness and bad management than from any other cause! Diligence makes luck; economy makes luck; honesty makes luck. It IS too late in the day to make the world believe that some folks were born to be rich and others to Do poor. It rests solely with the boy and man.
 Nine cases out of ten the boy who is determined to make some thing of himself will succeed. He may have to encounter rough usage, but the resolution which carried him out into the world will carry him safely through my crisis.

Mortality and Ere Arms.


 A Texas newspaper publishes statistics of the hoEicides in that state during 1884 to show that of the lj8 men who were killed 40 had firearms in their hands when they fell. Placing the adult male population of Texas at 100. 900. it esti mates that 3JO. 0OO of them do not carry arms and that 90 900 do. and 1t then shows by a very simple process of arithmetic that one in every 36O who car ried pistols was killed. whereas of those who went unarmed only one in 22. 900 was killed
 These facts are of interest to life in- surance companies if to nobody else They show clearly enough that the nor tality among the warriors is very great, whereas the men of peace enjo reason able immunity. If it can be shown that the same conditions exist elsewhere it may be necessary to raise the rates on men who are so careful of their lives as to go armed habitually.

Coioraoo chinese.

The Chinese in Colorado are likely to become partly civilized through the efforts put forth in their behalf by the philan- thropists of Denver. A great many of the Chinese in that city attend Sunday school. and night .chools have lately been estab- lished where they are taught to read and write A teacher is required for every pupil. and each teacher must possess an infinite fund of patience and persever- ance, for most Chinamen are rather dull. A man greatly interested in the Chinese recently gave large number of them n party at his house They came in their Sunday best, nearly all wearing the Amer ican costume. and were far more self-pos- sessed and easy in their manners than one would suppose they could be.

Johnston Sentenced.

This morning the court room was quite we'll filled with spectators to hear the sentence passed by Judge Fitzgerald upon George A. Johnston, convicted of forging Alabama claims. At the hour appointed the Judge said:
 Up fair and impartial trial by a lury of your own selection, and after an able and earnest defense by eminent counsel assIgLed you by the coart you were convicted and, as l think, properly so, of violating SectIOn 4S9 Of the Re yi.ed Statutes of the United States Tn that you forged the name of one Charles Coffin to a writing purportiLg to be an affidavit with intent to defraud the United States. What have you to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon you?
 Prsoner-I have nothing to say, Your Honor.
 The Judge-For the crime then, of winch you stand convicted, it IS the sen tence of tue Court-and right here wish to observe that 1t IS not my pur- pose as 1t has never been my practice to subject persons c nvicted of crime to the humiliation and modification of a pubhc reprimand. Your conviction and tue penalty to follow IS punishment sufficient, I regret however that your education and talents should not have been employed to a better purpose. With your intelligence you might have achieved eminence among the people of your race and have been credit instead of disgrace to them.
 The maximum penalty of the law for crimes of this character IS imprisonment for ten years at hard labor and fine of SI,OOO. But. In view of your physical condition, together with other disadvsnt- ageOus circumstances surrounding your past life, for which you are not alto gether responsible. am not disposed to visit upon you the full penalty.
 IL is the sentence of the Court that you be confined at hard labor in the House of Correction at Detroit, in the State of Michigan. for the period of five years from this date. Remand the pris- Oner.

In noticing the strictures which Admir- al Porter passes on Ben Butler in his re- cent paper on the opening of the Missis- sIppi river. in the Century Magazine, the St Louis Globe Democrat relates sn amusing incident ID Porters exploits on the river. Itseems that after Graft had forced the rebels to svacuste the forts at Haine's Bluff on the Yszoo, Porter sailed up the river in gunbost and of course took the fort without any opposition. He branded all the heavy artillery there: Captured by the United States navy, under command of Rear Admiral David D. Porter" When Grants men heard of this there was much fun around the camp-ires, and standing joke during the remainder of the campaign was to paint logs on the roadside with Porter's inscription. lt is needless to say that the Admiral did not include this episode in his article.
