A Very Old Kissing Game.

We shan't be always young, dear.
Let's frolic while we may:
II graybeards wag their tongues, dear,
Well, let thcrn sag away.
"The sun that sets to-day, dear,
Tomorrow rises bright,
When once we feet away dear,
We vanish into night.
Then first thousand kisses,
And next hundred more
No niggards OF cur blisses,
Wen still run up the score.
Another thousand, come, dear.r
A second hundred-so,
Again the sel,-ssue sum- dear.
Third time brings luck, you know.
But courting. dear. is scurvy-
Wen let the siss-beap mount
Then knock II topsy-5urvy
To make rs lose our count
And guard against low fellows,
Who. wondering at its size,
Might possibly grow jealous,
And blight Is with their eyes,
Temple Bar.

our unfailing supply Of water, it will
not initiate against our interest to
say that irrigation is always an adj
vantage aud sometimes necessity
Twenty years ago Colorado was an
alkoli desert covered with sage brush,
To-day the one little town Of Greeley
pays taxes on nearly as much prop
erty as Travis county. An irrigation
scheme which had its origin in the
muscle of five pioneers, has develop
cd into a corporation with thirty-hve
miles of mains and over three hun
dred miles of bitches, and u property
assessed at nearly five millions OF
dollars. Irrigation is the direct and
sole factor of this wealth.
When the gold fields of California
refused to longer yield their fabulous
wealth, attention was turned to the
soil. The enterprising men who
composed ner population were quick
to learn from their predecessors, the
Mexicans, the value of irrigation, and
today the boom of the golden state
is the wonder of the world. Without
irrigation, the state would be depop-
ulated within twelve months. These
instances could be multiplied, but it
is useless, aud have referred to them
merely to show that the fact that IT.
rigaton is necessity will not deter
capital from seeking an investment IN
any country. On the contrary, put
10000 to $4,000 acres of our valley
under irrigation, and the prosperity
of our town is assured. Property
will advance in value and capital will
flow in. Suppose that nothing but
cotton were planted the average
product without irrigation is, we will
say, one half bale per acre,-the pro
duct would Immediately leap to one
bale per acre, and in many portions
to one and a half bales. The increas
ed product for one year would more
than repay the total cost OF irrigation.
During the past few months the
dealers of this city have paid for i'm
ported vegetables over $4,000 per
month, at the rate of $24O,00O per
annum. Ali of these could be pro
duced on 1000 acres of irrigated
land and the money be kept at home.
"What are your views as to the es-
tablishment of factories 2"
They will come in good time, that
is, as soon as we have Il surplus pop
ulation to seek employment therein.
lyon seem to have faith in irriga-
ton ?"
I have. It is no experiment, bnt
has been practiced since history be-
gan, and to day, nearly one-half of
the cultivated land of the globe is
under cultivation"
Capt. Walsh is q gentleman of
strongly pronounced views on sub
jects Of practical importance which
attract his attention.

The Free press..-its Position ana
Mission.


A too common type Of the country
newspaper IN Texts, is one of which
but little Gun be said in its favor. In
business it is n SLOUGH If not Il fraUd
A considerable part OF it's ostensible
advertisements are dead, aud tue
unfortunate who once gets an adyer-
tisement in its columns is frequently
unable TO get it out again. Long
after it has fulfilled. its mission, aud
he has almost forgotten it, it is re-
tanned by the enterprising publisher
to "6ll up" For the same reason
he spreads out his advertisements to
three or four times their proper size,
without additional pay while he
sends out his paper to whoever will
agree to take it, risking the chances
of getting any pay. He charges on
ly about half the rates OF respectable
newspapers (save when chance to
"gouge" occurs,) aud his advertising
space is dear ut that.
AS regards questions OF public in
terest, he manifests no fixed princi.
pies, but is n time-server, trying to
please all. His grand supposed win
ming card is TO praise everybody alike
aud indiscriminately,-- ''lay it on
thick" with an unsparing hand. The
consequence is, he is everybodys
convenient tool and respected by no
one.
The literary staple of his paper,
aside from its profuse, gratuitous
puffs) is made up OF poor little items
of street corner news and curbstone
gossip. 1t advances no idea, dis
cussos no principle, but is infatuated
with the idoa that it's line OF small
beer paragraphs is the acme Of jour.

But the reader may inquire, what
has all this to do with the position
and mission of the FREE Pass ?
Why, just this, the latter are
the very opposite Of what we
we have imperfectly dilineated. The
FREE Press contains no dead head or
dead beat business. no subscriptions
are taken or retained for it without Il
good degree Of moral certainty that
they will be paid. Dead advertise
ments are not tolerated--all are
promptly taken out at the expiration
Of tho time paid for. A fair, living,
uniform price is charged for them,
md because Of its established clrcu
lation among the solid well-to-do |
people Of the country, full value re-
Deived is assured to its Advertising |
patrons. Elitorially it scorns to
in indiscriminate putting,
gives praise only where it is deserv-
I'd, and does not hesitate, however
to criticise, or condemn,
where its paramount duty to the
public so requires.
Nor does it seek to evade or tenn
porize as regards any question of |!
public interest. On the contrary, it !
is always ready to show its hand, and
always on the side of the people
generally. 1t assumes no superior
but claims the simple privi
