TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

appropriated for the Yuma levee Delegate Mark A. Smith, with the Assistance of Congressman w. w. Bowers of San Diego, California, has secured sn appropriation of SlO.OOC for the building of the Yuma levee at the junction of the Gila with the Colorado river. The Chronicle says: "This was accomplished in the face of the opposition of the River and Harbor Committee and the fact that Government engineers had not recommended the work, and its sue cess was largely due to Bowers speech and his influence with the Republi- cans, all of whom voted with him. Bowers said that while he was Col lector for that district during a term of eight years, seven steamers and many b.rges were engaged in com mercial traffic, but that recently he saw five of these steamers permanent ly tied up, the condition of the river making it impossible for them to con- tinue in the trade. He also pointed out the fact that during the last flood Government property worth much more than the appropriation asked had been destroyed, and similar dis. asters would recur annually unless something was done.

 Geo. Clark and E. K. Converse came up from New river and the volcanoes by the Padrone's branch of that stream, the same that Messrs. Roberts and Murphy went down in November last, and the one that Wm. Labron with two boats made the trip to Yuma in 4 days, beating Converse's time by one day. Half a century ago the Diguena Indians settled on this stream on account of the regular annual supply of water that it furnished at their settlement. The stream has been well-known for 40 years as it has always been the one that supplied Willow lakes, Lake Jululfu and that section with water, and from the fact that the old emigrant wagon road followed its west bank for miles, down through the Diguena, Willow lakes and Padrones country. Two years ago Vail and Turner camped on its banks, with their 700 head of cattle, on the way across the desert. Last year during the flood it run a great body of water, up and down which the Indians went with their boats at pleasure. So much for the wonderful new discoveries of this old stream about which we hear so much.
 The Swedish immigrants on Tuesdays westbound overland had 12 sacks of cassava, the tuber, which is causing so much interest among farmers and stock growers at the present time, on account of its enormous yield, its nutricious qualities and it's sweet and pleas ant taste. It yields from 25 to 35 tons per acre. It will grow any where that the potato, beet, or turnip will grow. The Sweedes say that they use it for food, that it is much better than the potato, Those on the train will be planted in California, as a test of what they will do on the coast. One was presented to the editor of the SENTINEL, who planted one-half of it, and the other half by Jose de la Osa in his garden near the rail- road bridge.i

THE OLD WASTE BASKET.



In the darkest nook OF the ding room,
In the deepest shade of the twilight
gloom.
In the morning bright and the evening
dim,
1t frowned from it's corner, cold and grim,
And always hungry; it's mouth so wide
Was split like a robins at dinnertide.
The old waste basket! We feed it amain D.
But its hunger was ever deathless pain.
Wise old scholard, gaunt and gray,
Fed its statistics for many day:
An6 old "Vox Populi, )" "Reader'' and
LEX"
Filled up its nav by quarts and pecks;
And dainty poems, where sorrowing love
Rhymed with the plaintive and cooling
dovej
Bright "Hopes," and "Visions" and
"Reveries" rare.
And young "Ambition," and old "de-
spair."
Heart throbs that pulsed with woe
But spelled by ear and Iimped in rhyme
And humor, that laughed with its latest
breath &
Like galvanized grin on the face o.
Death;
Fierce anger, that glared with eyes o
flame,
And stopped its paper, and owed for the
same;
Ms. by the cord. thesyard and the pound
Their way to the old waste basket found
All that came to his mill was grist-
He'd grind it up with shake and twist
And open his mouth as wide as before,
And whisper, with fearful calmness
"More!'
Oh friends, send Russia, in Christina
zeal,
The white wheat -four and Golden meal
But send us, we pray you, essays long,
Speeches eloquent, argument strong.
Send us whatever MS. you've got,
That the good waste basket perish not.
For should he die, 'twould be the end
OF the EDITORS dearest, truest friend.
For him would he mourn with scaldinl

LINCOLN'S ONLY REASON.
A NOnsensical Excuse for What His
Kindness Led Him To.

The late Z. W.-Kinsley used to re-
late the following passage of words
between President Lincoln and Secrc-
tary Stanton, which occurred during
an interview Mr.. Klnsley had with the
president in regard TO the feeling of
Massachusetts on the issuance of the
proclamation of emancipation in 1868.
While Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. kinsley
were talking, II clerk opened the door
and said that woman insisted upon
seeing the president. Mr.. Lincoln
directed that she be admitted. \ poor
old woman, her clothes ciinging to her
worn-out frame, and with tears run
ming down her cheeks, entered the
room and asked Mr.. Lincoln for pass
that she might go to nurse her son.
who was in field hospital. The pres
ident told her it was impossible; that
no pass could be given to anyone out
side the military.
"Her grief" SAID Mr. Kinsley, was
pitiable. She pleaded with Mr.. Lin
colu to be allowed to go and nurse her
boy till at last the president, every
muscle in his rugged face quivering
with emotion, turned to his desk, wrote
few lines, handed it to her, and said
There is your pass; go to Secretary
Stanton and get II countersigned.
1.-The woman thankfully received the
note and withdrew to the secIetary's
quarters.
"After her departure, Mr.. Lincoln
leaned his head upon his hand, and in
silence awaited the storm he knew
would follow, when Stanton had seen
what the missive was. lie was not
kept long in suspense. The door llew
open, and IN came Stanton greatly eN-
cited.
'Mr. President, he said, 'don'tyo
know that under no circumstances can
a pass be gwen to II civilian-why did
J OIL give pass to this woman?'
"Quick US flash came the answer:
Because she don't wear hoops Lin
coin knew that he should not have
given the pass, and that against Stan
tons anger he could oppose no logical
excuse, so he evaded il all with that
irrelevant reply. The secretary turned
and left the room without II word, but
the old woman got her pass. ''-Roston
