actual destruction or reformation. If

WE find the following passage in the

the question to him plainly, Where

that the man was stabbed about one

able witnesses that he was stabbed just
below the Young America hoisting

bility of the crop to injury from


frost in Autumn. Although the


cane is not injured by a slight


frost, which only tends to hasten


its maturity, a severe freeze


bursts the stems, the juice es-


capes and soon sOurs; and all that


part of the crop exposed is ruined.


The frequent occurrence of such


freezes in November and Decem-


Der compels the Louisiana plan
ter to take off the crop in October.


A freeze severe enough to dam
age the crop is rare in the Gila
and Salt River valleys of this
Territory, and in all ordinary sea-
sons the cane might remain on


the ground all Winter without in


jury. The soil in these valleys is
admirably adapted for sugar
planting, being fertile and fria-
BILE, with abundant facilities for
irrigating, and a climate that en-
forces a vigorous growth early in
the Spring. The region has ex-
cellent markets, at home, for
cane, sugar or molasses. A quar-
ter Of an acre of good cane will
furnish sugar and syrup enough
for large family; and there is no
more difficulty in the manufac-
ture than in producing the same
quantity of maple sugar. In all
countries where the cane flour
ishes it is one of the most profit
able crops. When it is once eS-
tablished that any part of this
Territory is adapted to this in+
dustry the value of its land will
be largely increased. Expert
ments that have been made near
Yuma and near Phoenix have
proved successful, and it is to be
hoped that others will follow.


Seed cane can be obtained
either from Mexico or the Sand
wich Islands, but the Louisiana
ribbon cane would probably give
the best results here. In Brazil
a variety is cultivated which
ripens perfectly in six months.
There are many MeXicans in Ari-
zona who are familiar with the
cultivation of cane, as quantities
Of sugar are grown and made in
Mexico. Two cane-mills are al
ready in the Territory, and the
results of their work will afford
some guide to the efforts of eX-
perimenters.

GENERAL GRANT observed, just previ-
Gus to the last Presidential election, that
the Democracy would be sure to make
some blunder that would give success to
the Republican party. The Democracy
did bunder and lost the election. The
party is ct it again it is this time one of
those blunders thatare worse than crimes.
When Hayes was not elected, and the
county was on the brink of a second civil
war--a war that would have been interne.
cine, and that once begun could have
never ended-the Democracy proposed a
peaceful arbitrament-suggested com


mission to decide the controversy. The
commission was created it acted and the
result was Hayes. The better sense oi
the nation appreciated the conduct of the
defeated party, and looked upon its action
as generous and patriotic. Hayes be-
came de facto President. The country
had escaped great danger, and was not
unmindful of the fact that it was to the
acquiescence of n great, majority party
that the peril had been averted. This act
would have been rewarded ; and had the
party stood armly by the decision that its
own tribunal had made, accepted the
situation, and acquiesced in the settle
mont of the Presidential office, it is more
than probable that the next Presidential
election had given the Chief Magistracy
to the Democracy. The endeavor to dis
turb the business of the country by over
turning the decree of its own commission
has been grave political mistake, If it
was int ended to keep alive the claims OF
Governor Tilden for a second nomination,
it will prove failure If it should sue
ceed in securing to him second nomina-
tion, it will only secure for him and his
party second and, this time, more dis
astrous defeat.-ArgOndW.

to a close, we miss from our hearth
stones venerable silvered heads
which were the holy links that
bound us to the past, some little
faces have vanished from our
, tables, and some little voices have
been hushed, the sound of which
shall gladden. our hearts no moro
till the sound of the everlasting
i trumpet. Realizing the peril, and
suffering, and struggle, through
which we have passed ourselves,
! we would not call them back, for
they have gained the sweet peace
and rest for which weary souls
have been reaching out in all past
time. Perhaps in Gods providence
before another Christmas shall roll
around the pen that traces these
lines shall be laid aside and The
hand that holds it shall be neVeless
and cold; rested from it's labors and
it's cares,-if such shall be the de-
cree to me it will not bring one
pang Of fear of suffering or regret;
my only sorrow being that my cp.
portunities to benefit my fellowman
have been so limited and unproi-
table.


The holiday times which are up,
on us come tinted with happy and
golden remembrances away in the
years which are gone. Scared, and
withered, and dry ourselves, it is
something to know that it is still
in our power to bring JOY and glad
ness to multitudes of little ones
who will rejoice in our having been.
l pity the man who can 60 to his
home at this time and bring with
him no present Or thing which shall
remind the expectant little ones
that Christmas has come. It does
not need much to make their hearts
glad; perhaps before another year
the little stockings will hang emp
ty, never to be filed again; the lit
tie pattering feet will no more run
toward you, and the little out
stretched arms will be folded across
their breasts forever. Think Of the
little ones, and don't forget those
whose life battle has been fought
and who are calmly waiting for the
change-the old grandsires and
grandmothers who still remain and
to whom these Christmas offerings
will come as blessed and gracious
gifts. It has not been a year of
unmixed blessing, and yet there is
much to be thankful for. When
the sun rose on the New Year of
1877, dark clouds hung on the po-
litical horizon, now happily cleared
away. The harvest has succeeded
to the spring time, and the hus-
bandman, rejoicing in Gods abun
dant bounty, is filed with thankful
ness and hope. With the coming
year I hope to cross the ocean, and,
if my life is spared, to give to your
readers an idea Of the wonders of
the great Paris Exposition, trusting
that our own loved land may there
hold place amid the assembled
genius of the world which shall

The GLOBE called attention few DAYS ago
to the law passed last winter requir ng the
Treasurer of the Board of Education to loan
the money ct interest and publish monthly
statement showing where the money is. We
are glad to notice that the Board, at its
meeting Saturday night, acted upon the
subject and directed the attorney of the
Board to attend to the matter. The law,
which is very clear, is as follows:


Be it enacted by the legislature of the State
of Minnesota:


SECTION l. That it shall be the duty of the
treasurer of the hoard of education of the CITY
of Saint Paul to loan at interest all funds in
his hands belonging to the board of education,
under the like conditions as are provided for
the deposits at interest by the county treasurer
OF funds IN their hands, under the general laws
relating thereto, approved March tenth (l0),
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three
(1873.)


Sec. 2. On the first Monday of each and
every month the treasurer of the board of edu-
cation of the city of st. Paul shall report to
the secretary of said board OF education, which
report shall be laid before the said board at
their next meeting the amount of all public
funds under his control as treasurer of the
board of education and where placed or de-
posted, which report said treasurer shall cause
to be published in at least one of the daily
newspapers of the city of st. Paul on the next
publication day of said newspaper after the
date of said report.


Sec. 3. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.
: Approved March 9th, A. d. 1878.


There is no question relative to the duty
OF the Treasurer, and if laws are of any
consequence it is time this one was put in
force. If an official can set one law at de-
fiance he can another and became a'law unto
himself on all subjects. There is no safety
in allowing any official to occupy position
above the law.

time you are likely to Ebe better served.
There is no danger of your having to go
hungry, for there will be food enough for
all. But don't elbow your neighbors, and
always be civil, for you can lose nothing BY it.
If you feel that you need stimulating or
refreshing drink, take it, but don't crowd
the mourners. The police have enough to
do without having to look after drunken
men.


If you want to make small purchase it is
not necessary that you should show your en-
tire roll of greenbacks to impress the dealer
IN your favor. There will be plenty Of men
who will notice what pocket you put it in,
and, through fear that you may lose the
wad, may take charge of it without inform
ing you of the fact.


If an affable gentleman greets you on the
street as long lost friend or relative, or as
the relative of some other friend, it is not
necessary that you should take him into
your confidence and lend him what little
spare chan ee you have just to pay freight
bill Or to square up with an importuning
creditor. Even if he gives you check or
bond as security for the loan, he may forget
your address and fail to return the loan.
Keep your money yourself. It is safer in
your own wallet than in that of anybody
else


There will be plenty of time to see every
thing worth seeing-that is, everything on
the grounds, for everything is we'll worthy of
inspection. There will be plenty of fun,
and everybody can have good time. Keep
cool, retain your temper under all circum-
stances, remember that smile is as cheap as
a frown, and after having seen the greatest
exhibition ever held in the West you can 60
home feeling perfectly satisfied with yourself
and tbs rest of the world.

creditable to the State of Minnesota. The
present head of the government of the
United States, together with several mem
bers of his cabinet and other distinguished
gentlemen, will grace the occasion with their
presence. Everybody will desire to be pres
ent on the occasion of their visit. But there
will be no necessity of crowding. The
grounds are large enough to accommodate
all, and the prospect of every person being
able to obtain good look at the party could
not be better. Act coolly, know what you
want before you start out. and no matter
how large the crowd may be, you will get
along swimmingly.

IT is perhaps necessary, in order TO pre-
vent the spread of the yellow fever epidemic,
that strict quarantine should be main
tanned against people flying from the in
fected districts. But the suferings caused
by this embargo are sometimes terrible to
contemplate. Men, women and children are
kept prisoners for from seven to ten DAYS,
not daring to leave the trains or the boats
which brought them to the quarantine line,
on penalty of death. Often they endure
great privations and suffer from hunger and
thirst, for none can approach them except to
share their imprisonment. And if, by any
chance, the fever should manifest itself
in their midst their condition becomes pitt
able indeed. They are shut out from the
world effectually -immured as it were in a
dungeon with the pestilence for compan-
ion, the only release from which appears to
be death. The quarantine as well as the pes
thence has its horrors. Who, in the inter
ests of humanity, will render the quarantine
endurable.
