The Purpose of the Desert.

The Rev. Thomas Slicer of the All Souls Unitarian Church of New York, in one of his sermons presented a view of the great arid region which was doubtless new to the majority of his congregation. pr. Slicer said:
 Men thought God had forgotten the Great American Desert that stretches for six hundred miles across this coun- try, because God only made buffalo grass grow on it for a little while, and a few evanescent flowers, and they said, God hardly cares even for the great herds of buffalo and antelope that graze a little while, then move on and find new pasture And then they found out that what God wanted to provoke man to was to pour the water over the desert, to make great irrigating canals; as in the message just delivered to Congress by the President of the United States, he pleads with the people anu Congress to make provision for the regenera- tion of arid tracts that they may be- come hOmesteads of the people, What is needed? The downfall from on high that fills the rivers until they brim. that waters the fields until they are green, that they may be homes of blessed household life. All that God meant by the desert was to challenge man to make it blossom and be fruit full: and when He was able to get men of intelligence enough to make great irrigating canals and flood the surface of the fields with water, it was Just as good soil as anybody need have to grow anything that the climate would support. That is the doctrine of spec ial providences that Is practical"

descended the Colorado and found his way to San Javier del Bac, in Septem- Der. 1776.
 "The friars had SC ected sites for the proposed missions on the west bank of the Colorado; and Palma, native chieftan, had accompanied Anza to Mexico to beg for missionaries. The viceroy favored the project, as dld General CroiX a little later, and after long delays two new establishments, Conception and San Pedro y San Pablo were founded in 11S0 under Padres Garces, Juan Antonio Bar reneche. Juan Diaz and -..atais Moreno with twenty soldiers and a like num- Der of settlers. In July, 1iSl, the missions were destroyed by the re volting Yumas all the friars were killed: and only three or four men saved their lives. At the same time Captain Rivera y Moncada encamped on the east bank with cattle and horses for California was hllled with sixteen men. This disaster created the greatest excitement both in Sonora and California;; and a large military force was sent against the Yumas A few of the latter were killed but there was no attempt to re-establish the missions or to guard the route"
 It would appear from this account that there were two missions estab lished; one evidently on the Califor- nia bank of the Colorado near the mouth of the Gila and one at some other point probably on the route to California. The writer has not

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
WAS THE PADRE BURNED AT A STAKE AT THE OLD
 RUINS ON NEW RIVER WEST OF IMPERIAL

A few weeks since the Press gave an account of the finding of the re- mains of a burned stake near which was found beads and other evidences that ages ago possibly priest might have been burned at the stake at this place. The facts were published, and the possible differences from those facts were given. There was no posi- tive evidence found that such crime had been committed-no evidence at least that wound be admitted as such in any court of justice in the United States. although possibly it might be admitted by the courts of France The Press does not know that priest was thus burned, and did not say that such was the ease, only gave facts which were facts and then gave in ferences that were plausible.
 However, a correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald takes us to task for publishing such nonsence. We give herewith the correspondents let ter in full as follows:

the Gulf of California to a point above San Francisco. This map was made in 1776. It shows the course travelled by Anza and his company in 1875 from the Colorado River to San Fran cisco. Anza crossed the Colorado River near the mouth of the Gila, and then travelled in a southwesterly direction to place called Santa Olaya in Lower California and thence in a northwesterly direction along the western border of the valley passing Carrizal (probably Carriso Creek), San Sebastian, San GregoriO. Santa Catalina to San Carlos Pass, Or what is now known as San Gorgonio Pass This line of travel passed by or near to the ruins on New River. AnZa returned few months later over the same route only not going as far south as Santa Olaya probably passing along near the sand dunes where the old Butterfeld stage line was located five years later.
 We give this data for what it is worth. The ruins on New River are the remains of improvements made probably hundred or more years ago, the exact history of wnich may never be told. l.. M. H.

 "Anza left Zubac in January with thirty-four men, Padres Irarces and Juan DiaZ serving as chaplains. They proceeded by way of Sonoita to the Gila, and thence to San Gabriel, re- turning by the same route to Zubac in May. On the reception of AnZa $ report. made by him in person at Mexico, a new expedition was devised to accomplish two objects, the found ing of San Francisco in California and of missions in the Colorado re- zion. Anza was made Lieutenant Colonel, recruited in Sonora and Sin aloa a force of soldier-colonists for California over two hundred persons in all, and marched from Zubac in October. 1775. for the north. There were twenty five men, including the chaplain, Padre Pedro Font, to re- turn and besides.

Padre EiXarch stationed himself on the Cali fornia side of the river near the Gila's mouth, and labored among the natives to prepare them for mission life from December to May, when he returned with AnZa to Horcacitas Meanwhile the indefatigable Garces had wandered off on his endless eX- plorations and was not to be found on the return of the expedition. He went down inc month pf tho Colorado and then up to the Mojave region. From this point he made a trip westward to San Gabriel, and another east ward to the Moqui towns. Returning to the Mojaves in July he slowly

searched Bancroft's History enough as yet to ascertain where these two missions were located-if indeed, it tells at all-but it is not unreasonable to assume that the other one might have been located at the ruins on New River west of Imperial and that one or more of the three padres who were killed were burned at the stake at this point. Of course we do not know that such was the case. It is matter of record, however, that three priests were killed by the Yuma Indians about 125 years ago, and it is not a wild presumption to suggest that one might have been killed at the ruins west of Imperial although as yet we find no definite history that says that such was the case.
 We have not at hand the two vol umes referred to by the Herald cor respondent Those volumes may give all the data obtainable regarding the early history of this country; ana still it is a matter of history that history itself is incomplete and new dis coveries are daily being made that add materially to the history of the world. Possibly historians do not as yet know all that is to be known re- garding the early history of this here tofore terra incognita.

In the year 1175 Father Garcia came down the Gila River with a company of spanish soldiers, and when he reached the Colorado River. at point where Yuma now stands, he established a mission on the site of the present Indian school, He established another at San Pablo, which is east of Yuma about eighteen miles. at point now known as Gila City.

An American Classic
as a Present

Inc runilCatlon OF tue VIZ
ginia edition OF The Works OF
Edgar Allan Poe" is important
because il gives what is prob
ably the best attainable text OF
the prose and verse Of one Of the
foremost American writers. No
pains have been spared 10 find
out precisely what Poe wrote
and TO present il in very con-
venient form. Professor Harri-
son, OF the University OF Nir-
gnia, accompanies the edition
with a biography which is model
Of frankness and sympathetic in
terpretarion. The story OF the
poets confused career is told
without evasion or concealment
and yet with a true insight into
the causes OF the tragedy which
shortened his life and obscured
his reputation. These facts hav-
ing been stated with thorough
going candor, there ought now
TO be an end OF the long contro-
yersy and a new appreciation OF
genius for literature and Of
permanent achievement OF unique
kind. For Poe was poet OF
magical gifts, who has left a small
group OF poems which have won
for him a place beside Hawthorne
and Emerson as American writers
of the first rank He wrote a
large group Of short stories which
belong in the first rank OF fiction
writing. And he was one OF the
first critics in our literary history
to expose and condemn sham,
unreal, sentimental and inferior
literary work, and to educate the
taste Of the country. Hdmi''on ".

to make a black pirate envious. Mr..
